After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 472

Chapter 472: Boss Zhouzhou Comes on Stage
Under the supervision of Mu Xuan, all the procedures were quickly sorted out. Mu Xuan’s throat felt a bit dry from speaking.

Just as he was about to drink some water, a small chubby hand brought a teacup to him. He looked down and saw his junior sister, who had somehow appeared beside him.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, prompting a gentle laugh from him. He pinched her chubby cheeks lightly before taking the cup and drinking.

Then, he glanced at the others with a slightly subdued expression.

“I will discuss these matters with my master later. If any of you have acquaintances, you can invite them over. Ten people can exchange for a talisman,” he announced.

The corruption within the Mystery Sect extended beyond just these individuals. Ordinary people often held a certain curiosity about metaphysics, especially when facing difficult situations.

Consequently, the number of fortune-tellers increased. Among them were those with genuine abilities as well as those seeking to deceive for profit, the latter being a significant factor contributing to the decline of the Mystery Sect’s credibility.

To change this situation, a quantitative change was necessary.

Unaware of the true intentions, the crowd nodded in agreement, eager to benefit themselves.

They immediately began contacting others, fearing they might miss out.

After all, their social circles overlapped considerably, and they saw this opportunity as a chance to profit.

Watching them depart, Mu Xuan lowered his gaze to the girl in his arms and asked, “Why did you suddenly decide to teach them?”

In response, Zhouzhou took out the figurine from her bag and pointed to its grey area. “Because earning merit this way is faster,” she explained, recounting the reason for descending the mountain.

Although they had heard similar explanations before, they had dismissed them as their master simply fooling around with Zhouzhou.

Little did they expect it to be true. However, they found it hard to believe that Zhouzhou alone could cause the Ancestral Master’s current state. Most likely, it was their master playing tricks again.

Despite this, Zhouzhou seemed unfazed, happily stating, “The Ancestral Master said that once he regains his radiance, he will change my destiny of being short of money, and then I can become wealthy and be a rich woman!”

With a gleeful smile, she approached Lu Qing, grabbing his hand and saying, “And I’ll ask Ancestral Master to change Fifth Senior Brother’s fate too, so you can live a long and healthy life!”

Lu Qing softened at her words, watching Zhouzhou affectionately. Meanwhile, the Ancestral Master in the figurine nearly slipped, finding the girl quite the troublemaker.

Dealing with a fate deficiency was more troublesome than a money shortage. He scrutinized Lu Qing carefully, sensing another impending dilemma for him.

Indeed, his fate seemed fraught with adversity.

Sensing the Ancestral Master’s gaze, Lu Qing looked back, prompting a surge of interest from the Ancestral Master.

Despite being blindfolded, he seemed more perceptive than an average person. The cloth over his eyes was probably part of the game he played with the girl.

The Ancestral Master speculated that his clairvoyance had greatly improved. In the world of Mystery Sect, aside from those born with Yin-Yang eyes, further cultivation was essential for enhanced abilities.

The better one’s cultivation, the more accurate their divinations.

Zhouzhou’s fifth senior brother must have put considerable effort into his training, but unfortunately, his fate was not favorable.

With a glance, the Ancestral Master withdrew his gaze. Lu Qing didn’t look back either, instead, he focused on Zhouzhou, holding her chubby hand and smiling warmly.

Mu Xuan wasted no time and immediately informed Li Yuanming of the situation.

Li Yuanming didn’t mind; he welcomed the opportunity for Sanqing Temple to thrive, gaining more followers to bolster their presence.

However, he inquired, “What does Zhouzhou mean by having them catch spirits?”

Zhouzhou, who was listening nearby, immediately approached, addressing him as “Master.”

She explained the situation and added, “Master, you should teach them primarily how to catch spirits, so they can accumulate more merit. Aim for them to catch eighty to ninety spirits a day. With twelve hours in a day, they can spend one hour catching a spirit, leaving two hours for sleep.”

Satisfied with her plan, Zhouzhou nodded, feeling pleased with herself. It wouldn’t be long before the Ancestral Master regained his radiance completely, and then she could become wealthy!

Li Yuanming’s reaction? Well, even the donkeys in the village didn’t work this hard.

Only four hours of sleep a day, including eating and using the bathroom. Quite the black-hearted capitalist indeed. But hey, he liked it!

“Don’t worry,” he assured, patting his chest. “Leave it to me. I’ll make sure they complete their training in the shortest time possible and start working sooner.”

Once the Ancestral Master regained his full strength, Sanqing Temple’s future was assured. By then, Li Yuanming would be the undisputed head of the temple.

Who would dare look down on him then? With a capable Ancestral Master and disciples, he only needed to lay back and relax.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanming’s laughter took on a somewhat sinister tone. Even though they couldn’t see him, Mu Xuan and Lu Qing could guess his thoughts, exchanging a glance with some exasperation.

This master of theirs, still so unreliable. At such a young age, he was already expecting Zhouzhou to create a bright future for him.

There was nothing for Li Yuanming to feel embarrassed about. Whatever Zhouzhou achieved was thanks to his guidance.

Those Taoists had also not wasted their efforts. The next morning, they brought their companions to Sanqing Temple.

The group of over a dozen people suddenly grew to hundreds, leaving the nearby worshippers astonished.

Although Li Yuanming was somewhat surprised himself, he maintained his composure, leading them to the backyard.

However, the sudden influx of people posed a management issue. He couldn’t afford any mishaps. Thus, he sternly presented the rules and regulations he had written up all night.

“Now that you’re here, you are part of Sanqing Temple. If anyone dares to bully you, I will protect you. But if you do anything wrong, don’t expect leniency from me,” he warned.

“You are aware of Zhouzhou’s abilities. She has said that she will visit periodically. If she catches you doing anything untoward, you know the consequences.”

With narrowed eyes, he gave them a stern look, which was quite intimidating to those unfamiliar with him.

The newcomers were left somewhat stunned, nodding vigorously and expressing their obedience.

Satisfied with their response, Li Yuanming continued, “Alright, let’s begin. Study diligently. If you fail the assessment in three months, you’ll have to leave on your own.”

As he spoke, he handed out books to them. Finally, one of them couldn’t help but ask, “Master, why is it that if we do something wrong, we’re not judged by you but by Little Celestial Master?”

Li Yuanming… well, he wasn’t quite prepared for that question.
