For them, going to the Taoist temple was not really about burning incense and praying sincerely, but rather to join in the fun and satisfy their curiosity about “cultivation.”
Meanwhile.
Elder Qianqing was also busy.
The Daoist Academy he was in charge of was now welcoming its 13th graduation season for Daoist students.
Compared to the past.
After the meteorite incident and the recent disaster aura event, the Daoist community in Yan Country has become increasingly influential.
Naturally.
Most of the media in Great Yan Kingdom, even official television stations, shifted their attention to this 13th Lu Card Ceremony, sending journalists to the academy to observe.
Due to the overwhelming number of media journalists coming to watch and interview.
This graduation Lu Card Ceremony.
Just like the previous Heavenly Master Inheritance Ceremony, a special area was set up in the academy for media journalists to film and interview.
At this moment.
The Lu Card Ceremony Hall.
Elder Qianqing stood on the high platform.
More than two thousand Daoist students who had completed the Heart-probing Road and Refining Heart Tower were sitting neatly and upright on chairs below the stage.
For them, once they receive the Lu card today, it means that they will take up positions in Taoist temples and become the masters of the temples, which is undoubtedly exciting.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune!”
Elder Qianqing held the Yin-Yang Finger Gesture and recited a Daoist Name as an opening remark.
Below the stage.
Click- Click
Click
In an area full of journalists, countless reporters were frantically pressing the shutter of their cameras. The dazzling flashlights kept flashing, recording this scene.
“First of all, welcome to our media friends who have come to witness the 13th Daoist Lu Card Ceremony!”
Elder Qianqing looked around for a week without rushing and spoke slowly.
“From today on, you will be the masters of the temples, and everything you say and do will represent…”
Although the speech was very cliche and almost no different from the previous twelve Lu Card Ceremonies.
However, the Soon-to-be temple masters sitting below intently and respectfully listened to Elder Qianqing’s speech on the stage.
The reason for having such a quality.
Naturally, it is because every graduate has to go through the “Heart-probing Road” and “Refining Heart Tower” to temper their minds and hearts.
More importantly.
The benefits of joining the Daoist community today can be considered as second to none. In fact, nobody dares to claim to be the first on the entire Water Blue Star.
As long as they successfully pass the academy’s tests on Heart-probing Road and Refining Heart Tower, they can receive the Lu Card and become temple masters upon graduation.
Now the temple masters are no longer like they used to be receiving only a few hundred a month but instead, their monthly fee at the master level is as much as 50,000.
Besides the salary level.
There is also an irresistible benefit that nobody can resist, which is…the key to stepping into the door of cultivation.
This is not just about the “Shenxiao Visualization Technique”, but also various talisman techniques, simple Five Elements techniques, and even the “Treading the Clouds” lightweight skill, which are open to all temple masters!
Shifting focus to the high platform.
After a series of traditional ceremonies.
Finally.
It’s time for the most important part of the ceremony, the granting of the Immortal Official Document, various magic tools, and two Taoist Robes.
More than two thousand young Taoists sitting below the stage lined up according to their numbers and orderly walked to the stage.
The first young Taoist walked up, held up the finger gesture over his head, and bowed deeply.
“May you bring good fortune to everyone after taking up the position of temple master!” Elder Qianqing handed over the items on the tray to the young Taoist in front of him.
“Thank you, Dean!”
Upon receiving the tray, the young Taoist’s eyes were immediately attracted to the Taoist robe and a brown cloth bag on it.
He noticed that there was a wave of spiritual power on the robe, which turned out to be a spiritual object.
As for the brown bag, all the students in their entire Daoist academy recognized it.
Because not long ago, they saw the elder temple masters using it while they were assisting various places to solve the disaster aura.
It can be used to hold objects… the Sumeru Bag!!!
They never expected that this Lu Card Ceremony would also distribute magic tools, robes, and such valuable items like the Sumeru Bag.
Unable to help himself, he turned his head to look at the other trays.
“Hiss-”
As expected.
In each tray, Lu cards and objects were ordinary items, but the robes were exuding a spiritual qi, all of them are spiritual magic tools.
Seeing this!
Elder Qianqing smiled and stroked his beard, thinking to himself in his heart that these younger generations were indeed born in a good era.
These clothes, of course, were all the novice sets exchanged by Xuanqing from the Store, with tens of thousands of sets exchanged at once.
After all.
Since they had embarked on the path of cultivation, magic tools, robes, and Sumeru Bags were necessities that couldn’t be lacking.
Due to the large number of people.
The entire Lu card granting ceremony continued until evening, and only then were all the graduates given their Lu cards.
After the granting of the Lu cards was over.
The journalists did not leave; on the contrary, they felt a surge of energy.
Because.
According to the original plan, once the ceremony was over, the Daoist Academy would hold a press conference.
For these reporters, this was the real main event.
On the high platform.
Elder Qianqing looked at the journalists below.
“Thank you all for your patience, now… you can start asking questions!”
As soon as these words were spoken.
Immediately.
A female reporter with a ponytail sitting in the front row raised her hand high.
“Please go ahead, layman!”
“Daoist priest, what do you think of the popular “Shenxiao Visualization Technique” on the Internet?”
Upon hearing this.
Elder Qianqing stroked his beard and said leisurely, “The Shenxiao Visualization Technique is a very good cultivation technique for maintaining one’s health, and it is also one of the compulsory courses in the Daoist Academy.”
“Daoist priest, many people now want to quit their jobs and even stop going to school just to join the Taoist path of cultivating. What is your opinion on this issue?”
Another reporter asked a sharp question.
Hearing this.
Elder Qianqing pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, “First of all, I want to say that there is no such thing as cultivating immortality.”
“Including the Shenxiao Visualization Method, you can also consider it as a form of advanced fitness.”
“Cultivation is about cultivating one’s mind and nurturing one’s spirit. It can be a hobby, but never a main task. Everyone should focus on learning technology, and only technology is the primary productive force.”
Next.
After answering questions for more than an hour, the sky was already completely dark.
Elder Qianqing massaged his temples, feeling that dealing with these reporters was really exhausting.
“Alright, today’s interview is over. Follow-up information on the Daoist Academy will be posted on the official website. If you arc interested, please keep an eye on it!”
As he said this.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune.” Elder Qianqing made a yin-yang fish gesture, saluted the crowd, and left the scene.
The Lu card granting ceremony of the Daoist Academy came to an end.
A group of journalists, with their documents in hand, went back to work overtime on their submissions, publishing the news afterward.
While Elder Jingde’s Heavenly Master Mansion and Elder Qianqing’s Daoist Academy were bustling and lively.
Yang Ying was not slacking either.
Across the entire land of Yan Country, tens of thousands of Taoist temples sprang up and were already nearing completion.
More than three thousand of them were even rushing to finish their renovations and preparing to receive the graduates of the Daoist Academy.
In today’s highly developed industrial technology era, as long as one is willing to spend a lot of money, they can experience what is called the speed of a construction maniac.
Due to the large number of temples, there was no need for a special opening ceremony. The more than three thousand Taoist temples quietly opened on the land of Yan Country.
In this way.
The chaotic situation of Taoist temples offering cultivation techniques online and opening temples offline for diversion was perfectly resolved.
And, because of the addition of so many temples at once, the daily number of incense guests increased several times over.
Huai Qingyun was exhausted from installing the sub-array plates one after another without a break.
The power of Incense belief… multiplied, and it was not long before the next promotion of the Immortal Officers would take place.
As the real world developed rapidly.
In the Game World!
Heavenly Court.
Outside the Lingxiao Bao Hall.
Xuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the Jade Emperor’s summon to receive the promotion and title of Secondary Third-Rank Immortal Official!
However.
What he didn’t know was that this time, the promotion of the Secondary Third-Rank Immortal Official hadn’t happened yet, but due to the rapid development of the real world, the next Immortal Official’s promotion was not far off!
