BXBX NOVEL Chapter 188 - 188
“Sigh-”
A sigh echoed.
Huai Qingyun’s expression was full of misery as he rubbed his temples, “Sir, why are those tree demons so stupid compared to others?”
“Just the simple task of collecting and replacing the Gathering Qi Beads, it takes at least hundreds of repetitions to teach them… Sir… I’m so tired.”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
In his mind, he couldn’t help but picture the scene when he was enlightening the ancient trees. Those guys with squinted eyes and drooling mouths, low IQ, and completely looking like landowner’s dumb sons, each one more twisted and uneven than the other.
“You’ve really worked hard, Qingyun. Come here, I have something nice for you.” Xuanqing consoled him with a sentence and waved at him.
With a thought,
He took the salary provided by the Heavenly Court from the Game Backpack and infused it into Huai Qingyun’s body.
In an instant,
“Ah~”
Huai Qingyun closed his eyes and let out a soft grunt.
Although Innate Merit didn’t have much use for the current Xuanqing, for Huai Qingyun, a tree demon like him could use it to purify his divine soul and rid himself of its negative aura.
“That was so comfortable, thank you, sir!” Huai Qingyun licked his lips, his expression containing a hint of satisfaction.
“Hmm!”
Xuanqing nodded slightly and said solemnly, “Go, remove and replace the Gathering Qi Beads that have been placed during this period.”
“Yes, sir!”
It only took two hours of work.
The ground trembled slightly,
Huai Qingyun, holding a Sumeru Bag, arrived and said, “Sir, I’ve brought all the things.”
Upon seeing this,
Xuanqing couldn’t help but be surprised.
Previously, it took Huai Qingyun a whole day to replace the Gathering Qi Beads of the 81 Taoist temples in Changling City.
Now that the whole Yan Country was covered, more than 400 Taoist temples could have their Gathering Qi Beads removed in just two hours. The increase in efficiency was not small.
“Well done!”
Xuanqing praised him and asked casually after taking the Sumeru Bag, “Qingyun, has the Taoist temple been relocated completely?”
“All have been moved, and the relocation was completed half a month ago. I even attended the opening ceremony-” Huai Qingyun replied.
Hearing this,
Xuanqing understood.
No wonder they have accumulated tens of millions of incense offerings in such a short period of time; the relocation had been completed half a month ago.
“Alright, you can go now.”
“Yes, sir!”
Huai Qingyun bowed and then spun around a few times before slowly sinking into the ground.
Next,
It was time for the harvest.
Xuanqing looked at the Sumeru Bag, looking forward to how many Ingots he could harvest this time, and whispered in his heart:
“Convert into Ingots!”
[Ding! +440W Ingots!], an alert sounded in his mind.
Xuanqing’s mouth slightly curved upwards, a full 4,400,000 Ingots. This was the most Ingots he had ever received.
With a thought,
“Open Character Panel!”
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Physique]: Chaos Merits Holy Body.
[Grade]: Taiji Left Palace Dongming Upper Daemon Slayer Zhileiting General Manager (Fifth Rank)
[Cultivation]: Integration of Void Stage (Mid Stage)
[Cultivation Method]: Food-Qi Decree
[Divine Ability]: Qi Luck Controlling Dragon (<■»), Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts (Minor Success), Five Elements Talisman Array (Perfection)
[Ingot]: 6,362,004
On the Character Panel, the remaining Ingots section showed a total of 6.36 million.
It’s safe to say that this is the first time Xuanqing has had such a massive amount of Ingots since obtaining the cultivation quantifier.
“6.36 million Ingots, I can’t spend them all, there’s no way I can spend them all!”
A look of worry appeared on Xuanqing’s face as he shook his head and muttered softly, but if you looked closely, you could see that the corners of his mouth were already struggling to keep from turning up.
He silently calculated in his heart.
About thirty-five days had passed since the last incense handover, and during those thirty-five days, he had gained 4.4 million.
Before the Taoist temple relocation, only Changling had the Gathering Qi Bead, with around 30,000 incense offerings per day, which means that in the first twenty-one days, he should have gotten 630,000.
After the relocation of the Taoist academy, in just fourteen days, he gained 3.77 million incense offerings… considering this.
“Hiss-”
Xuanqing couldn’t help but gasp.
According to this calculation… after the whole relocation, the daily incense offerings reached a staggering 269,000, almost 270,000.
Although there might be some errors in it, it’s definitely an astonishing number.
“One day with 270,000, one month with 8,100,000, one year… 97,000,000, rounding up to 100 million!”
Even if they knew that the relocation of the Taoist academy would increase the incense offerings, the actual calculation still made them excited.
Originally.
He wasn’t very confident about the future promotion of the Daoist Immortal Officer, but looking at the current situation, there was hope for his future promotion to the first grade and establishing a Dao Court.
More importantly.
The current daily income of 270,000 incense offerings is far from the limit of the Taoist academy.
You should know that there were 423 Taoist temples in the Taoist academy alone.
Just in the two holy lands of Changling and Jiang City, there were 201, while the other twenty cities had a total of 222.
Moreover, the daily 270,000 incense offerings were divided among every Taoist temple, amounting to about 636 each.
It should be noted that one or two points can be contributed by a healthy adult with a little bit of reverence, and at least 4-5 points for devout ones.
Even taking the average of 3 points means that the daily flow of incense offerings for each Taoist temple is just over 200 people.
Therefore.
The current situation is… there is still a lot of room for improvement in the total number of Taoist temples, and there is a significant room for growth in daily incense offerings at each Taoist temple.
With these two factors combined, the amount of incense offerings that could be gained each day could be an unbelievably shocking number that one might not even dare to believe.
With this in mind.
“Sigh-” Xuanqing took a deep breath, reciting a serenity spell in his heart to calm himself down.
“There is still a lot of room to expand the Taoist academy, but… I’ll leave such matters to my subordinates.”
Xuanqing thought to himself.
Then.
He took out his phone from the Game Backpack, connected to the Internet, and sent messages to Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and Yang Ying, the three core members of Taiji Hall, asking them all to come to Qingping Mountain.
It’s worth mentioning.
He placed the phone in the Game Backpack because he found that the molecular movement of objects in the Game Backpack is stagnant.
In lay terms, the time inside the backpack is stopped, so the phone would not consume power when placed inside.
About an hour later.
A civilian helicopter flew over Qingping Temple and landed in the parking lot, where two elders and a woman in professional attire disembarked.
These two elders… were Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing, and the woman was naturally Yang Ying..
