Chapter 2614: Chapter 2615: The Strategy of Zhengyi Temple

In front of the Blessed Land Gate at Sky Qing Palace, the parking lot still had quite a few cars.

Lin Yi got out of the car and went inside, seeing everyone at Sky Qing Palace bustling about, welcoming tourists.

There’s an old saying: Ginger gets spicier with age, and it’s not wrong at all.

Other people were busy working, and some even schemed a bit, trying to earn some extra pocket money from tourists.

But Zhang Youfu, who was over fifty, was busy with the craft of feng shui and fortune-telling, specifically targeting young and beautiful female tourists.

If the women were exceptionally attractive, he would even read their palms for free.

Reaching this level of old pervert, he pretty much hit the peak.

That night, after seeing off all the tourists, everyone was chattering, telling Lin Yi about the things that had happened these past few days.

Once the road was repaired, the number of tourists at Sky Qing Palace gradually increased.

Until a week ago, there was a surge in tourists, closing the gap with Zhengyi Temple even further.

“Have the people from Zhengyi Temple caused any trouble these days?” Lin Yi asked.

“Not really. Ever since you beat up Liu Peng, they’ve been behaving much better,” Li Yongnian said:

“But sometimes, when we go down the mountain, we run into them and their attitude isn’t great.”

“Not only did you beat them up, but also stole their business, how could they possibly greet you with a smile?”

“Haha, true enough, anyway these days have been quite satisfying, earning bucket loads of money.”

Lin Yi laughed and looked back at Zhang Youfu.

“Brother, you’ve had quite a time too lately, reading palms and bones, your hands must be getting calloused.”

“I had no choice. I couldn’t stand to see them struggling in mundane worlds, so I made this decision that betrays my ancestors, even at the cost of divulging heavenly secrets, just to relieve their misfortunes,” Zhang Youfu said:

“Being able to do some good for them, let alone getting calluses, even if these hands were to be ruined, I wouldn’t mind.”

Lin Yi smirked and secretly muttered, truly a role model among us indeed.

“But recently, I’ve had a bold idea, and I need your opinion on it, junior brother.”

“What is it?”

“Recently on the mountain, I found a spring, and I’m thinking of developing a hot spring, what do you think?”

“Where would you find a hot spring on Longhu Mountain?” Lin Yi said:

“How about I get some sand here, you make it a beach, and then have tourists wearing bikinis and burning incense for blessings?”

“Junior brother, you are indeed extraordinary, that’s quite the idea.” Zhang Youfu said:

“Moreover, these days the number of tourists at the temple has increased greatly, and I am quite uneasy, fearing it disturbs the immortals’ peaceful cultivation.”

“And then? What crazy idea have you come up with now?”

“I think we should limit the number of visitors to Sky Qing Palace, there’s no need to welcome so many. Worldly affairs are like a bustling crowd, and as cultivators, we must never forget our roots. In the face of great interests, it’s true wisdom to retreat gracefully.”

“Come on, someone translate what he just said.” Lin Yi said.

“I know.” Zhuang Xiaoyun said:

“The Master means to only entertain female tourists, not male ones.”

“Senior brother, even your disciple sees through your intentions, saying anything more would be pointless.”

“You people truly don’t understand my good intentions at all.” Zhang Youfu sighed:

“How could I possibly entertain only female tourists? The ancient says, ‘It is hard to keep a petty man or a woman,’ I am a man of principle and limits.”

“Then why did you bring Xiaoyun to the temple?” Li Yongnian said:

“And I remember, you only charged her 50,000 dollars.”

“Maybe it’s because on the day I went up the mountain, I was wearing a fitted dress and Balenciaga.”

“You guys really don’t understand me at all, I am very disappointed. Forget it, I won’t explain any further, when the temple festival comes, I’ll handle the difficult female tourists. I am your master, if I don’t go to hell, who will?”

Zhang Youfu spoke seriously, then quietly left, as if greatly wronged.

After Zhang Youfu left, Lin Yi and the others gathered together to discuss matters about the temple festival three days later, before finally going to sleep deep into the night.

…

Longhu Mountain, Zhengyi Temple.

Due to the upcoming temple festival, all the lights were on even at night to discuss related items about the festival.

“Brother, I observed, the number of tourists to Sky Qing Palace has surged these days, if this continues, our status will be at risk.” Liu Peng said:

“A lot of videos about Sky Qing Palace have appeared online, I suspect they hired people for marketing, otherwise there wouldn’t be such an effect.” Zhou Jin said.

“I think so too, we can’t just sit idle, we must increase our promotional efforts, or else we risk being overtaken by them.”

Zhou Jin was silent for a moment, then said:

“Simply increasing promotional efforts may not yield good results, this needs a long-term strategy, you all go on with your other tasks, I’ll handle this matter personally.”

“Understood, brother.”

The long night quietly passed, and a new day came as promised.

Endless streams of tourists continued to arrive at Longhu Mountain, eager to experience the famous mountains and Daoist scenery.

Meanwhile, the incense at Sky Qing Palace was still burning brightly, although it couldn’t match Zhengyi Temple, it was much better compared to before.

“Brother, you called for me.”

Around eleven in the morning, Zhou Jin asked Liu Peng to come over.

“I need you to handle something, go to the airport now and pick up a few people for me, I’ll send you the contacts later, call them once you arrive and then bring them to Guoshan Restaurant.”

“Understood, brother.”

Liu Peng didn’t ask who he was picking up, he obediently drove to the airport.

Around two in the afternoon, Zhou Jin arrived at Guoshan Restaurant, ordered some specialty dishes, and waited for the guests to arrive.

When the dishes were almost ready, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Excluding Liu Peng, six people entered.

All six were quite young, four men and two women, none appeared to be over thirty.

“I presume this is Daoist Zhou?”

Speaking was one woman, whose hair reached her shoulders and wore a snug pair of blue jeans. Though her legs weren’t very long, her waist was slim, making her overall appearance quite appealing.

The woman’s name was Chen Rongrong, a female streamer on Douyin, boasting over 30 million followers, a massive online influencer.

She casually streams daily, raking in four to five hundred thousand in revenue.

And this, too, was why Zhou Jin had invited her over.

“That’s me.”

Zhou Jin nodded with a smile and shook hands with Chen Rongrong.

“Please have a seat everyone, it’s been a tiring journey, let’s eat while we talk.”

“Alright, thank you for the hospitality, Daoist Zhou.”

They sat down, toasted a glass, nibbled some food, and then got down to business.

“Daoist Zhou, there were many things unclear during our call yesterday, let’s be open about it now.”
