Late stage of Qi refining and God transformation.
The strength of the soul further increases, reaching the level of spirit day travel.
By that time, just using divine thought, one can lift their body, achieving the legendary realm of stepping on one’s right foot with the left foot and ascending to the sky.
“Five days have passed, I wonder how my Qingping Temple has developed!”
Xuanqing picks up his phone.
Out of power, shut down, and in a black screen state.
Since he could enter the game with just a thought without relying on his phone, he rarely charged it.
After charging, turning on… Dingling-
Dingling-
A burst of ringtones, a series of missed calls, and unread WeChat messages with little red dots.
Most of them were sent by Yang Ying.
Some were from the Immortal Cultivation Group’s audience members, which was established back when he graduated.
There were some who expressed their desire to come and learn, some congratulated him on the success of Qingping Temple, and even one temple master who wanted to join him.
Upon reflection,
those young temple masters did not have his methods, and most of them still had parents, siblings, and blood relatives at home.
This monthly subsidy of several hundred yuan, coupled with the remote location and lack of basic facilities such as electricity, it was normal for them to eventually give up.
Continuing to browse.
“Huh, Elder Jingde actually sent three messages and a missed call?”
Xuanqing was somewhat surprised.
He opened it to see.
The first message was sent the day after he began his closed-door cultivation.
“Young friend Xuanqing, next month’s mid-point will be the Taoist Association’s promotion conference. Do you need me to register for you?”
On the fourth day, Elder Jingde sent the second message.
“Young friend Xuanqing, why has your phone been off? Today is the last day. Never mind, I’ve already registered your name.”
The last message contained an address and contact number, as well as the detailed agenda for the promotion conference held by the Taoist Association.
After reading the messages,
Xuanqing shook his head with a smile, “Elder Jingde is quite an interesting person.”
Truth be told,
if it was before he had obtained the True Method, he might have been interested in this ‘promotion conference.’
But now, his pursuit has shifted from worldly matters to cultivating immortality and even further to pursuing the Great Dao.
Just as he prepared to call Elder Jingde back,
Suddenly,
Dingling- Dingling-
The phone rang, showing an incoming call from Yang Ying.
He answered the call.
“Daoist Priest, your phone is finally turned on. I have something to report. Are you still in the Taoist temple?” Yang Ying’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“I’m in the temple’s inner courtyard. Come over!”
After a while,
“Priest, let me report the development of the Taoist temple and there’s one more thing that needs your decision!”
Time had passed since their last meeting.
Yang Ying’s initial childishness had disappeared, her well-proportioned body under professional attire, and the confident look on her face, greatly enhancing her temperament.
Speaking of which,
A person’s aura, aside from appearance and clothing, was also influenced by their life experiences. Those who had long been in high positions would naturally develop a majestic presence.
Then,
Yang Ying began to report her work.
“The main structure of our Qingping Temple, as well as the two-way road, have been completed. Now we are just waiting for you to inspect and settle the accounts…”
“Also, the paperwork you told me to handle for the inheritance temple ceremony at the Descendants’ Temple has been completed.”
Hearing this,
Xuanqing was somewhat surprised, “I remember it’s been a little over a month since construction started. Has everything been completed already? Or was it some shoddy project?”
“Pfft-”
Yang Ying suddenly burst out laughing and immediately explained, “Haha, Daoist Priest, you are joking. After what happened with Wu Haojian, who would dare to deceive us now!”
“The reason the construction was fast is that after Wu Haoming finished building the Taoist temple, he mobilized all the equipment in Liucheng County to help the construction company in the provincial city and build the road together.”
She paused for a moment,
As if thinking of something, Yang Ying said, “At first, I thought Wu Haoming was scared out of his wits and was building the road for us for free.”
“But who knew, after he finished building it, he charged me a certain fee. According to the boss of the construction company in the provincial city, Wu Haoming only charged a cost fee.”
After hearing these words,
Xuanqing couldn’t help but laugh.
It wasn’t hard to see,
that the reason Wu Haoming did this was partly to please Xuanqing and partly out of fear that forcibly selling favors would offend him.
So he came up with a middle-of-the-road approach, charging a cost fee after helping, which made people feel much more comfortable.
“Wu Haoming did want to build it for free, but I did not want him to do so. Since he collected the money, let’s just leave it at that.” Xuanqing said lightly. “Alright!”
Yang Ying nodded and asked, “Daoist Priest, now that the Taoist temple has been renovated and the road is open, do you think we need to hold some kind of ceremony?”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing pondered for a while.
Her words reminded him.
As for the renovation of the Taoist temple and the road, it didn’t really matter whether a ceremony was held or not.
However, the inheritance documents from the provincial city had already arrived. According to the rules from ancient times, an Inheritance Temple Ceremony should be held.
This ceremony mainly served to inform fellow Daoists and the surrounding people that this Taoist temple… would henceforth belong to XXX, to be inherited by their descendants.
The term ‘Descendants’ Temple’ also originated from this.
It’s worth mentioning that,
In today’s world,
the reason for so many empty Descendants’ Temples is because of the catastrophe that occurred back then. Countless Taoists went down the mountain to stop the disaster, and they became extinct along with their descendants who also sacrificed their lives for the cause.
“There’s no need for a ceremony for renovating the Taoist temple and the road. However, I plan to hold an Inheritance Temple Ceremony in five days.”
“You go and prepare!” Xuanqing commanded.
“Yes, Daoist Priest. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and prepare now.” Yang Ying nodded in agreement and then left the room.
Inheritance Temple Ceremony.
What’s important is to announce it to fellow Daoists worldwide.
After some thought,
Xuanqing opened the ‘Immortal Cultivation and Everlasting Youth Group,’ composed a message, and sent it to the group chat.
Qingping Temple Master: Fellow Daoist Friends, I’ll be hosting an Inheritance Temple Ceremony at Qingping Temple in Changling City, Liucheng County, in five days. You all are specially invited to come and observe the ceremony.
As soon as the message was posted,
in no time,
the entire Immortal Cultivation and Everlasting Youth Group was in an uproar.
“Wow, we’ve caught sight of the legendary Xuanqing!”
“How rare, the legendary Xuanqing has actually appeared.”
“I have to go watch the ceremony when the great Xuanqing holds the Inheritance Temple Ceremony!”
“Same here, same here-”
“Same here +1”
Everyone in the audience began to discuss the Inheritance Temple Ceremony at Qingping Temple in the group chat.
To them and even to the whole generation of Taoist priests graduating from the School, Qingping Temple was undoubtedly a legend.
It developed from a remote Taoist temple, where not even birds would poop, to its current scale in just under two months.
There were many legends about Daoist Xuanqing circulating on the internet, and some thought Xuanqing was seeking attention and gaining popularity with special effects.
Others thought that what Xuanqing did was to promote the Taoist sect and that it was a commendable act. They even saw Shaolin promoting themselves through movies.
However,
apart from Yang Ying and Wu Haoming,
no one knew that the special effects Taoist priest circulating on the internet was actually a real person who had cultivated true methods and possessed divine powers!
