“Controlling Wind!”

Xuanqing stood up, and with a swing of his right hand, the lucky cloud beneath his feet flew down the hillside of Qingyun Mountain at a rapid speed, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Whoosh-

He landed in front of the main hall and walked in, stopping in front of his god tablet.

With a thought, a smooth treasure orb appeared in Xuanqing’s hand, which was the Gathering Qi Bead given by the Earth Deity of Black Wind Town.

“Go!”

The treasure orb flew forward and eventually stopped above the god tablet.

“In a while, I can see the effect of this Gathering Qi Bead!” Xuanqing looked at the bead on the god tablet, thinking to himself.

After a while.

The hurried footsteps were heard outside the main hall.

“Daoist Priest, you’re here. I cooked some porridge and eggs. Do you want me to bring them over or will you come and eat?” Yang Ying asked.

“No need, I only eat one meal a week!” Xuanqing shook his head and refused.

One meal a week?

Yang Ying was shocked.

Even though she knew that the Daoist Priest must be skilled and possibly even have legendary martial arts,

she was still astonished at the revelation of him eating only ‘one meal a week’, her mind unable to believe that this was possible for a human.

However.

She understood why the Daoist Priest had said that he would provide one meal a week during the recruitment. He himself only ate once a week.

“Alright, then I’ll go eat by myself!”

Yang Ying took a deep breath, suppressing her astonishment. She had heard about a Daoist practice called ‘avoiding cereals,’ and perhaps the Daoist Priest was practicing it.

A moment later.

Yang Ying, who had finished her breakfast, returned to the main hall.

Though it was already daylight, it was still early, and most incense guests from the town hadn’t woken up yet.

This moment.

Yang Ying looked at the Daoist Priest sitting cross-legged on the cushion and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn’t know whether she should or not.

Just as she hesitated.

“If you have something to say, just say it!”

After hearing the Daoist Priest’s voice.

Yang Ying took a deep breath and cautiously said, “Daoist Priest, you’re giving me a salary of twenty thousand yuan just to maintain order in the Taoist temple. I feel like the money is too much for me to handle!”

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing opened his eyes and looked at her.

Frightened by his gaze, Yang Ying quickly waved her hand to explain.

“Daoist Priest, don’t misunderstand… I’m not saying I want to quit, but I feel that I’m not worth the price you’re offering for such a small job!”

“Ahem-”

Yang Ying cleared her throat, sorting out her thoughts.

“From the current situation, it seems that Daoist Priest, you don’t care about the income of the temple, and since you’re not after money, you must want to attract more incense guests and make the temple more famous!

“Based on this, 1 thought last night that there are many areas in our temple that we need to improve, and by doing so, the number of incense guests could at least double.”

Upon saying this.

Xuanqing was interested and immediately asked, “According to you, what does Qingping Temple need to do now?”

To be honest.

He had also thought about these issues after learning about the importance of incense fire.

However, he needed to practice every day, and the worldly matters were complicated, which made him feel that such things were headache-inducing, so he didn’t want to do them and was too lazy to bother with them.

Next.

Yang Ying began to elaborate: “First of all, those who come as incense guests do so because of you, Daoist Priest. So, we need to continue maintaining the heat, even turning you into a brand.”

Hearing this.

Xuanqing frowned slightly.

Those who came to offer incense were drawn by the video of him practicing “Treading the Clouds.” They came to join in the fun, to see something novel, and even many impolite people would ask for an on-the-spot performance.

Even worse, some bolder female incense guests came for his beauty. Not only did they take advantage of him with their words, but sometimes they would even touch him, which was extremely excessive!

Truthfully.

If it weren’t for the power of incense fire, he would have swept away those ill-mannered people with a swish of his sleeve, then closed the temple’s gate.

“You mentioned that I don’t understand these things, but can you find a way for these laymen to offer incense obediently and not bother me?”

Xuanqing asked solemnly.

“Uh… this…”

Yang Ying hesitated for a moment.

It seemed that the Daoist Priest wanted both incense guests to come and offer incense and not to be bothered by them.

After pondering for a moment,

“There is a way, but this might not maximize the number of incense guests,” Yang Ying said thoughtfully, “If you want to avoid being harassed by incense guests, you have to stay away from the main hall as much as possible.”

“Daoist Priest, you can set a fixed time for some performances or chant scriptures. I remember your chanting sounds really beautiful!”

“But if you do this, the number of guests will decrease when you’re not chanting, so we’ll need to renovate the temple and add more projects.”

“For example, we can hire some Taoist priests to preach and receive guests daily. As for you, Daoist Priest, you can perform a large-scale chanting activity once a week.”

“In terms of popularity, if you don’t mind, we can make short videos and post content on health preservation and traditional martial arts.”

After listening to Yang Ying’s narration.

Xuanqing rubbed his temples.

He had no interest in these matters at all.

“As long as the temple’s incense fire can be increased without disturbing me too much, just go ahead and do what you think is necessary!”

After that,

Xuanqing took out his phone and immediately transferred one million yuan.

“Here’s one million yuan for you to use first. If you can really make this work, I’ll increase your salary to fifty thousand yuan a month!”

“You need to keep a record of how much you spend, and I will check it once a month!”

As his words fell.

A ‘buzzing’ sound of vibrations rang out twice!

Yang Ying quickly took out her phone from her pocket and saw that she had indeed received a text message about the transfer.

One…ten…hundred thousand…one million!!

“Daoist Priest… this…” Yang Ying was shocked by his generosity, but she thought that the Daoist Priest trusted her and she must not let him down.

With this thought in mind.

Yang Ying pinched the phone firmly with her fingers, took a deep breath, and said seriously, “Daoist Priest, don’t worry, 1 will do this well!”

“Mmm, do a good job!”

Xuanqing nodded slightly, “By the way, just now you mentioned the chanting. 1 thought about it, and I’ll try it today.”

“Set up the schedule for eleven o’clock in the morning and four o’clock in the afternoon. I’ll chant in the front yard at those times!”

“Alright, 1 understand.” Yang Ying nodded and then curiously asked, “Daoist Priest, won’t you be in the main hall later?”

“No, I can’t stand the enthusiasm of these incense guests!”

Xuanqing waved his hand.

If it were not for the need to earn incense fire, he would not even be willing to give lectures or chant scriptures. How great it would be to concentrate on researching divine powers!

However.

He knew his own situation. If he only focused on closed-door cultivation, it would probably be difficult for him to make a breakthrough in his lifetime.

Sigh…. only a cheat could save him now!
