Listening to Yang Ying’s narration, he learned that the Taoist temple was now handed over to Elder Jingde and that Yang Ying’s direction was towards charity after that.

Xuanqing nodded in agreement.

In some sense, the roles of Elder Jingde and Yang Ying had already somewhat overlapped, as the temple’s development required only one person’s growth.

As for Yang Ying choosing charity, it would also be very useful in enhancing the temple’s incense offerings. For example, those who were helped would naturally offer incense regularly, as it could repay their gratitude and was also cost-free.

“That’s right, you should focus on developing in the field of charity in the future!” Xuanqing encouraged.

“Yes, Taoist Priest!”

Yang Ying’s spirits were lifted, and she responded loudly.

Then,

She hesitated slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Taoist Priest, can I also join Taiji Hall?”

“Yes, you can specifically focus on the direction of charity. Your main target will be the incense guests of the temple. As for your position… it remains to be determined!”

Xuanqing thought for a moment and then replied.

In general,

Among the sect forces, so-called outer elders are responsible for handling these worldly affairs, with their positions neither too high nor too low.

But he isn’t establishing his own sect now. There’s only him, the palace lord, and Elder Jingde in the Taiji Hall.

“Yang Ying, you can simply call me palace lord in the future!”

With that,

Xuanqing’s right hand waved, drawing a cluster of pure mana from the Qi Flower and shooting it towards Yang Ying!

“Thank you, pala… ah!”

Yang Ying was just bowing in thanks when she saw a column of light shooting towards her, instinctively letting out a sharp scream.

Seeing this,

“Don’t panic, this is my mana.” Xuanqing explained, “In the future, when you’re doing charity work, you’ll inevitably have to climb mountains and wade through water. This can protect you to some extent.”

He didn’t want the situation where one moment he had just accepted her into the force, and the next moment she encountered danger, forcing him to go and rescue her like a nanny.

Hearing this,

Yang Ying’s face revealed a look of surprise and joy.

It’s important to note,

Now that she’s following the Daoist priest… no, she should say she’s following the palace lord, she doesn’t care about money and the like anymore. She’s just in awe of this supernatural power.

Of course, she also has her own little thoughts, hoping that one day she could possess that supernatural power like Elder Jingde.

Before, she had seen with her own eyes how Elder Jingde had the falling flowerpot become as light as a feather with just a wave of his hand.

“Palace Lord, I have completed my report, do you have any commands?” Yang Ying bowed.

“You just need to continue doing charity work!”

“Yes, Palace Lord!”

After handling Yang Ying’s situation,

Xuanqing turned his gaze towards Elder Jingde.

In the real world, the Taoist temple that Elder Jingde was responsible for was the most important foundation.

He was also curious about how well the temple had developed under Elder Jingde, who had access to Life Extension Pills and the mana he had cultivated.

At this moment,

Seeing the gaze of the Palace Master,

Elder Jingde bowed slightly and said in a deep voice, “Palace Lord, I have already chosen the Heavenly Master!”

Tsk tsk~

Such big news came out as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xuanqing was also slightly stunned.

He didn’t expect Elder Jingde to move so quickly. It had been less than two months since the Life Extension Pill production line was set up.

“Tell me the details.”

“Yes, Palace Lord!”

Elder Jingde saluted and replied, then paused for a moment to gather his thoughts before continuing:

“After the Life Extension Pill was established last time, I took the pill to Jinghai to visit the old man.”

“With the power of the pill and mana acupuncture, I restored him to his youth and added fifty more years to his life!”

Elder Jingde stroked his beard and smiled, quite proud of himself.

It’s important to note,

Although the Life Extension Pill could prolong life due to its mixed and diluted fragrance, its effectiveness was limited to the first few pills, adding fifty years to a person’s life. It was probably more related to Elder Jingde’s own mana acupuncture treatment.

“The Government Office has been dealt with, and the old man wanted to meet you too, but I knew you didn’t like hassle, so I refused.”

Hearing this,

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

He liked the way Elder Jingde handled things.

For him now, he was already invincible in this real world. No matter what your status was, you were just a mortal.

“You continue.”

“Yes, Palace Lord!”

Elder Jingde nodded, then continued, “After dealing with the Government Office’s affairs, it was the internal affairs of our Taoist sect.”

“At present, the Heavenly Masters of our sect have always been controlled by the Zhang family. It took a lot of effort to get them settled.”

“However, after I displayed my supernatural powers and demonstrated the True Method, they agreed.”

At this point,

Elder Jingde hesitated and said after a moment, “The Old Heavenly Master asked me to ask you, he doesn’t seek to step into the path of cultivation, but he wants to experience the feeling of enlightenment before he dies.”

Hearing this,

Xuanqing contemplated for a moment.

Speaking of which,

His Daoist foundation came from the real world Taoist sect, and when he was assigned to Qingping Temple, it was the Old Heavenly Master who had given him the assignment.

There was a relationship of incense between him and the Old Heavenly Master.

More importantly,

The Old Heavenly Master didn’t use his position as a bargaining chip, nor did he take advantage of their relationship. He directly gave up his position and asked in a pleading manner, making the approach feel very comfortable.

“You tell the Old Heavenly Master, at the Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony, I will let him experience the feeling of enlightenment.”

“And, if I plan to establish my own sect and accept disciples in the future, the Old Heavenly Master will be my first choice, and I will provide him with certain cultivation resources!” Xuanqing said solemnly.

As soon as this was said,

Elder Jingde was overjoyed and bowed immediately, gratefully saying, “On behalf of the Old Heavenly Master, I thank the Palace Lord for his kindness.”

As the vice president of the prosperous Changling City, which was a sacred place for Taoist sect,

He had a good relationship with the Old Heavenly Master, and they even fought side by side against foreign enemies in the past.

The attraction of supernatural powers to those in the Taoist sect was something he was very aware of.

Elder Jingde was genuinely happy for the Old Heavenly Master.

“By the way, Elder Jingde, when will the Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony begin?” Xuanqing asked.

“On Gan 15 next month, starting at the third moment of Chen hour and ending at the first moment of Shen hour.”

Elder Jingde hesitated, “However, based on past experiences, every Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony, Buddhism would send a master to discuss and preach.”

“So the end time is somewhat uncertain. The longest time it has lasted was three days and three nights.”

Hearing this,

Xuanqing slightly frowned.

After thinking,

He said, “Elder Jingde, I will teach you a technique for riding clouds and flying, as well as how to condense mana in your throat and emit Daoist sounds.”

At the Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony, let those bald donkeys feel the mighty power of Daoism..
