Chapter 142: Chapter 141: Finallyy it’s time to harvest!

“In order to promote Taoism, one of our Daoist priests is willing to take on all financial costs, including the relocation of the Taoist temples and the living expenses inside the temple.”

“That’s right, once rhe relocation to towns is complete and rhe temples can no longer rely on self-sufficiency in farming. Sir intends to raise rhe living allowance for each temple ro twenty thousand yuan.”

Twenty thousand yuan?

As soon as these words were spoken,

Even the calm-minded Daoist priests couldn’t help discussing it.

You see,

Their original subsidies were only a few hundred yuan per month, which could only meet basic living necessities.

Therefore, most of the Taoists, besides chanting and practicing, also cultivate land around the temple, planting some vegetables and so on, either for their own consumption or ro sell for money to supplement their lives.

Seeing the look of longing in the eyes of the Taoists,

Immediately,

Elder Jingde took the opportunity to say, “Fellow Daoist Friends, there’s one more thing: the financial backer also made a request.”

“His Daoist title is Taiji Left Palace in charge of Immortal Officer Shangqing Destiny Signing Secretary Lei ting Commander1, and after making such a huge investment, he only wants his god tablet…”

Upon hearing this,

The audience present all expressed indifference, waving rheir hands.

For them, as long as there are no monks or Buddha statues enshrined in rhe Taoist temples and the largest statue is of rhe Three Pure Ancestor in the Main Hall, it’s all good.

And as for setting up a separate god tablet as the main god, it’s still reasonable after all, since he has paid such a huge price, shouldn’t he be able to fight for some prestige?

The large-scale relocation plan of Taoist temples in Changling City was thus finalized.

On the Internet,

A notice about “The Traditional Cultural Development and Urbanization Reform of Changling City!” quickly hit the hot search list and went viral online.

The content is about the decline of Taoist culture and the decision of the Changling City Taoist Association to spend 2 billion yuan to move all remote Taoist temples to small towns and suburban areas.

In addition, some new features of the Taoist temples after the urbanization reform were briefly described, such as no entrance fees, incense offerings for only two yuan, free food provided, and fixed times for scripture lectures every week… and so on.

Regarding this,

The vast majority of netizens felt incredibly passionate, thinking that their own sect had finally made a move.

“Taoism is on the rise!”

“Good, I prefer our Taoist temple. The last time 1 offered incense in a temple, 1 was charged two hundred yuan for one high incense stick, and as soon as I pur it in, someone took it away and extinguished it.”

“Hehe, you upstairs, that’s nothing, at least you offered incense. I didn’t even get to offer any, and was forcibly made to donate a hundred RMB to the merit box.”

“Support our local culture and drive away the foreign monks.”

“I laughed to death, yesterday while on the highway, a sports car overtook me, and guess what 1 saw, a bald monk driving the car!”

“Changling City… that sounds so familiar, isn’t that where Qingping Temple, which caught fire a while ago, is located?”

“Hooray- Now with Qingping Temple and Changling City, the whole country will change, and Taoism is finally going to rise up-11

In contrast to the excitement and anticipation of most netizens,

The monks in the temples of Changling City had their faces changed, as they had already turned faith into business.

With the God Church from the West as a powerful enemy, and now the emergence of a powerful Taoism, what would the future hold for them?

The monks could already imagine that their lives would get harder, with reduced salaries and commissions…

This would result in… luxury car loans becoming unaffordable, and mortgage payments for the villas at home might be overdue as well.

It’s killing me-1 can’t live like this!

However,

Regardless of the opinions outside,

With substantial funding, the Taoist temples throughout Changling City began to be built, moving closer to nearby small towns and urban villages based on their original locations.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months passed.

Qingping Mountain.

At the peak of the mountain.

A young Taoist priest, wearing a silk Daoist robe, holding a whisk, emanating ethereal immortal aura, stood there.

This person was none other than Xuanqing, who was cultivating the divine abilities on the mountain peak.

“Cloud“rising in the air!”

Xuanqing waved his whisk.

A mysterious ripple occurred, and a lucky cloud appeared beneath his feet, causing him to ascend into the sky.

Controlling the lucky cloud, he soared and spun on the mountain peak; his speed was several times faster than his previous “Treading the Clouds.”

“Hoo- It’s no wonder that it’s a divine ability among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts. Just a minor accomplishment in Cloud-rising in the air is already several times faster than mastering the “Treading the Clouds.”

Xuanqing couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

During the past two months, he had been hanging up the cultivation in the Game World while devouring ginseng fruit.

And in the Real World, he was not idle either. Under the incense offerings in the two-world Daoist temples, he began to cultivate various divine powers in the “Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts.”

With a thought,

“Open Character Panel”

(Name]:Xuanqing

[Physique]:Body of Merits

[Grade ]:Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Supreme Pure Department of Lushu Signing Books, Thunderclap Capital Affairs (Seventh Rank)

I Cultivation]integration of Void Stage (Early Stage)

[Ingot]: 1520 3

The biggest change on the Character panel belongs to the [Divine Ability] “s column.

There are many small divine abilities from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Art, and their cultivation progress is in the state of minor accomplishment.

“There are still eight more divine abilities, and I will be able to cultivate the whole “Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts” into minor accomplishment.”

It’s worth mentioning that,

Some small divine abilities in the “Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts’1 may not be of great use, but they are inseparable from other divine abilities.

To cultivate them to the Perfect level, one must practice all thirty-six small divine abilities to Great Accomplishment, only then can they transform into great divine abilities, and fully unleash their power.

Just when he was about to continue cultivating rhe next minor divine ability among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs!

Suddenly.

Hum-

After a wave of divine power, the ground began to wriggle, as if something was inside.

Immediately after,

Huai Qingyun emerged from the ground:

“Sir, Elder Jingde asked me to report that all the Daoist Temples have been built and relocated, and asked what to do next, whether to hold an opening ceremony or anything.”

After becoming the Earth God, lluai Qingyun naturally mastered the trademark earth escape technique of Mountain Gods and Earth Gods.’

Upon hearing these words,

Xuanqing’s face showed a hint of surprise.

He didn’t expect that Elder Jingde would work so fast. In just two months, more than eighty Taoist temples had been built.

After some thought,

Xuanqing turned on his Phone, and immediately sent a message to Elder Jingde, saying that there was no need for a ceremony, just open the temples normally and low-profile.

Then,

He looked at Huai Qingyun and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Since the Taoist Temples had been built and relocated, it was time to install Gathering Qi Beads and jade talismans in them.

“Qingyun, come with this humble Taoist to do something!”
