At the same time, the old Daoist priest who was splitting the revenue with his subordinates also saw Lin Yi and the others.
“Yo, young man, you’re here. Have you thought it through?”
The old Daoist priest walked over with a smile. “Since you’re here, I take it that you’re sincere. I’ll give you a cheaper price. 3,000 yuan to help your girlfriend break through that barrier. In the future, everything will definitely be smooth sailing and you’ll be safe. You can also get an invoice.”
“Save it.” Lin Yi said.
“I saw how you split the spoils. Be careful or I’ll report you.”
The other Daoist masters looked at Lin Yi warily, clearly wary of him.
Only the old Daoist priest didn’t care.
If Lin Yi really wanted to report him, he wouldn’t show this attitude.
“Little brother, calm down. There’s no need to make things so awkward. We’re all commoners. Even immortals need incense. We’re also forced to make a living.”
The old Daoist priest’s attitude was very good. Firstly, he was afraid that Lin Yi would report them and cause a scandal.
Secondly, they probably had some money since they could spend a lot of money to visit this place.
It was better to be polite to such a person.
“If you have nothing else to do, just show us around.”
“There’s not much to see, really. Our alchemy room is the only interesting place; the rest is pretty much the same everywhere.”
The old Daoist’s words confirmed that Xiyun Temple was more about scams than anything else.
However, this was a voluntary matter. After all, no one was being forced.
With that, the old Daoist led Lin Yi and his two companions around the alchemy room, explaining the strange items inside. Lin Yi listened carefully and got a general understanding of the place.
He figured that when he eventually became a Daoist priest, his situation wouldn’t be much different from this.
After all, Xiyun Temple was one of the larger Daoist temples in Huaxia.
Many other places weren’t even as good as this.
“Sir, isn’t this an alchemy room? Why is there mercury here? Isn’t it highly toxic?” Lin Yi asked.
“Young lady, you don’t understand,” the old Daoist said smugly.
“This is an essential ingredient for refining elixirs. It’s very valuable.”
Without him, Xiyun Temple wouldn’t have achieved its current scale.
It could be said that the current success of Xiyun Temple was inseparable from his persuasion.
Standing next to Zhang Yanjun was a young Daoist.
Dressed in a brand-new Daoist robe, his skin was dark, making him look a bit older, but he seemed to be in his twenties.
“Little Zhu, I’ll be counting on you for the event later,” Zhang Yanjun said.
The young Daoist priest’s name was Zhu Jinwoo. He used to practice mixed martial arts, and his physical fitness was top-notch.
The two of them met in a mixed martial arts competition. It was also at that time that Zhu Jinwoo realized that the money earned as a Daoist priest was more than what he earned from fighting. From then on, he joined Xiyun Temple to become a Daoist priest.
Although his income did not increase significantly compared to before, he could earn money every day with just a few words. This was much better than risking his life to earn money.
Therefore, he could be considered to have joined the Dao Sect wholeheartedly now.
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem at all. When the event starts, I’ll show them my skills. I guarantee that I’ll make them dumbfounded and very willing to pay”
“Just make sure you master the three routines I taught you, and everything will be fine,” Zhang Yanjun said.
“In short, just two words: trick them to death.”
“Brother Jun, that’s four words.”
“Don’t sweat the details,” Zhang Yanjun said earnestly, then glanced at the dining hall. “Look around, it’s already past one, and people still have to wait for a table. This means there are a lot of visitors today. If we can fool these people well, today’s earnings will be enough for you to buy an Accord.”
“Got it,” Zhu Zhenyu said.
“I’ve thrown many fake punches before, so trust my acting skills.”
“I’m relieved hearing that.”
With that, Zhang Yanjun, hands clasped behind his back, said, “Let’s go. It’s about time we got ready.”
As the two were about to leave, a loud cry echoed through the dining hall.
“Yangyang, be careful! Watch where you’re going! Don’t run around.”
Thud!
A boy, around ten years old, crashed into a large pillar while playing with another child and fell to the ground.
He froze for a second before bursting into tears from the pain.
