Chapter 57: Chapter 56: Short on Hands-
Translator: 549690339
But now that 1 have embarked on the path of cultivation, 1 have departed from mundane trivialities and strived for higher pursuits.
Under these circumstances, even if I were to look for another half, I would seek a Dao companion in the Cultivation World, rather than indulging in momentary pleasures and mingling with mortals.
Main Hall.
Arriving in front of my own God tablet.
I, Xuanqing, take out the Soul-calming Jade Talisman and Serenity Jade Talisman and place them on the back of the God tablet.
With the infusion of two streams of Mana, the functions of the two jade talismans are activated.
Hum-Hum-
I close my eyes and sense for a while.
The effective range of the two jade talismans just happens to encompass the Main Hall.
That is to say, as long as incense guests step into the Main Hall, under the effect of the Serenity Jade Talisman and Soul-calming Jade Talisman, they would experience a sensation of calming the mind and focusing the spirit.
“When tomorrow comes, once these incense guests arrive, I will observe them secretly!” 1, Xuanqing, murmured softly.
Although 1 now possess one million ingots.
However, if I just sit back and use them up, not to mention one million, even ten million will run out eventually.
Therefore.
1 still value the incense offering from the real world quite a lot.
Furthermore.
As long as i manage one Taoist temple well, I can then use it as a blueprint to contract other Taoist temples, expand the scale, and grow stronger.
“I’m going to go back to my bedroom and continue practicing the Five Elements Talisman Array!”
I, Xuanqing, have a slight smile on my lips.
With the wealth of one million ingots now in my possession, the once unattainable Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom can now be used casually, even for one minute, then reminisced for another minute.
Leaving the Main Hall.
On my way back to my bedroom.
However.
When 1 pass by the side room where Yang Ying is located again, I hear the sound of conversation.
I, Xuanqing, can’t help but stop in my tracks and listen attentively.
Through the window.
I can vaguely see Yang Ying leaning back and holding the phone in her hand. Regardless of what the person on the other end says, she keeps apologizing.
“Hello… yes, this is Qingping Temple… Ah… I’m truly sorry, the thing is we’re really busy during the day…”
“Oh, you mean….”
After a while.
The call has just ended.
The ringtone sounds again.
“Hello… Yes, this is Yang Ying speaking. The road construction might be delayed for another day or two.”
Yang Ying said to the person on the other end of the phone: “Right.. Right..
Don’t worry, it’s being pushed on our end. In a few days, it certainly won’t be a problem.”
After taking a few phone calls in a row.
Finally.
The room returns to tranquility.
“Ah!” Yang Ying sighs heavily and puts the phone back on the table.
She then leans back in the chair, her hands continually massaging her temples.
At this moment.
Knock-Knock Knock
The knocking sounds.
“Has Daoist Priest come out of seclusion?” Yang Ying is slightly taken aback; she has some doubts in her heart, wondering what could be the matter at this late hour for the Daoist Priest to come find her.
Creeeak-
Opening the door.
As she’s met with an inexplicable sense of oppression. Even though the other party is just standing quietly, the sensation she gets is as if she’s facing a mighty mountain.
Just like… it’s reminiscent of when she was in primary school, facing the headteacher after doing something wrong, giving her an intense sense of pressure.
“Daoist Priest.. You?
Yang Ying’s lip quivers a little, stunned.
Just a few days without seeing the Daoist Priest, why has he undergone such a massive transformation? Although his handsome appearance hasn’t changed, his temperament is utterly different.
Seeing this scene.
I, Xuanqing, understand that it’s undoubtedly due to the breakthrough in my cultivation to the stage of Turning Qi into God. The power of my God Soul is too overwhelming, exerting a strong oppressive force on ordinary mortals.
Regarding this, I have no solution, 1 can only inject some more mana into the Soul-calming jade talisman hanging around my waist, expanding its effect.
“I heard you on the phone earlier. Have you encountered any difficulties?”
Just in time.
As the Soul-Calming Jade Talisman began to work, Xuanqing also initiated conversation.
Yang Ying only felt much more comfortable. She didn’t understand the key aspect, but thought that the Daoist priest speaking had eased the pressure on her.
So.
She quickly replied, “There are no major difficulties, everything can be solved, it’s just that time is a bit inadequate.”
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing glanced at Yang Ying from top to bottom.
Due to a lack of sleep from staying up late and waking up early, her eye bags were dark, and she appeared listless.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing felt a little guilty, but also somewhat relieved.
He should know.
What he disliked the most were the mundane and complicated issues in this world.
If Yang Ying hadn’t been hired, if it had been left to him to handle these things, probably within two days, he would have completely given up.
This is a common problem for the majority of cultivators, and perhaps the reason why Taoist temples cannot compete with Buddhist temples.
Having Yang Ying as employee…a good employee as a tool, he was spared a lot of trouble.
After some thought.
Xuanqing removed the Soul-calming Jade Talisman from his waist.
“This is the Soul-calming Jade Talisman, it has soul-comforting and
mind-strengthening properties. You have worked hard these days. Carry this jade talisman with you, it can relieve fatigue!”
Having said this, he handed the jade talisman over.
“Ah…This..”
Seeing the Daoist Priest taking out his personal jade talisman, Yang Ying’s cheeks couldn’t help but turn a little rosy.
However.
She was very clear in her heart, with the skills of the Daoist Priest, he wouldn’t do anything without reason. Since he had taken out this jade talisman, there must be a reason for it.
“Thank you, Daoist Priest!”
Yang Ying slightly bowed in gratitude, before reaching out to accept the jade talisman.
The next moment.
The moment she came into contact with the jade talisman.
A pleasant and refreshing feeling appeared, and the pressure from the Daoist Priest instantly disappeared.
“All-”
Yang Ying couldn’t help but cry out.
Although she knew that the Daoist Priest’s maneuver wasn’t a common thing, the sudden feeling still caught her off guard.
She bit her lip.
“Daoist Priest…this item is too valuable, as far as I can tell you only have this one…Maybe you should take it back!”
If I give it to you, just take it. To me, this object is not particularly rare!”
Xuanqing waved his hand dismissively and said lightly.
Having said that.
Without waiting for her to speak again, he turned around and left the room directly.
Returning to the room.
Xuanqing sat on a chair, made a pot of tea.
He was thinking about matters concerning Yang Ying’s work.
At first.
He hired Yang Ying because he was overwhelmed by numerous incense guests and because Yang Ying had a good character.
Aside from these, he had not considered anything else because his focus was always on cultivation and seeking the Dao.
However.
Looking at the current situation, only letting Yang Ying maintain order seemed a bit wasteful.
“Why not have Yang Ying stop receiving incense guests and focus on expanding the Taoist temple and increasing the number of incense guest visits.”
Xuanqing thought to himself.
Although now only the [Hang-up Cultivation! and [Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom] features are consuming Ingots.
But it’s uncertain what will happen in future updates. There may be features that consume far more than these two.
So.
The importance of incense to him goes without saying!
“If this is the case, who should be responsible for receiving the incense guests?”
Xuanqing slightly frowned.
Anyways…he would not possibly undertake the task of receiving incense guests.. It’s just too troublesome!
