From the break of dawn in the east, until the evening glow appeared on the western mountain side.
The Qingfeng Daoist Temple was bustling with people like never before.
This was not just the villagers from the foot of the mountain, who came early in the morning to offer incense and kowtow.
But also many of Su Xiaoluo’s online followers drove from various places, just to catch a glimpse of the Immortal Daoist as mentioned by the streamer.
Yes, yesterday Lin Heng acted, saved the little girl’s life, and afterward, instead of asking for anything in return, he distributed all the temple’s incense money to the poor villagers, which had already spread within Su Xiaoluo’s fan group.
This left many netizens utterly amazed.
"I never expected this young Daoist brother to not only have such extraordinary looks but also a heart to save the world and help people."
"Not coveting external possessions, this is truly the path of cultivation!"
"The villager probably never dreamed that although it was the Daoist who saved his daughter, not only did he not ask for recompense, he even gave him money to improve his life."
"So touching, how many people still care about the lives of farmers these days?"
"Just based on this, doing good deeds without asking for future gains, this Daoist brother, I’ll stan for a lifetime!"
"I want to have babies with the Immortal Daoist, lots and lots of babies!"
Kong Wen, along with the brothers Wang Yuan and Wang Sheng, stood in the woods opposite the Qingfeng Temple.
Looking at the bustling scene from a distance, each of them was silent.
Compared to the visible frustration and jealousy of the Wang brothers.
There was more indifference and disdain in Kong Wen’s eyes.
"Bustling, let it bustle all it wants."
"This broken temple has never had such a busy scene, now let you experience it before your demise, and you shall die without regret!"
Kong Wen murmured softly, his gaze carrying a hint of malice.
"Elder, will that Demon City God you mentioned really come tonight?"
Wang Yuan couldn’t help but worry.
He was feeling very conflicted. Leaving Daoism to join the Zen Spirit Temple was something that initially made him very happy.
But yesterday’s performance by Junior Lin Heng and today’s bustling scene at the Qingfeng Temple.
They each pricked his heart like needles, causing him pain.
This made him feel a slight regret, alongside a jealous hatred.
Clearly, he was supposed to be the successor of the Lingxi Daoist Temple, yet he had to curry favor and lower himself at the Zen Spirit Temple!
But Lin Heng, after taking over Qingfeng Temple, somehow gained some kind of opportunity, becoming a living immortal in the hearts of the locals, and he had also expanded the incense reception of the temple.
The comparison was just too ironic.
It made him feel extremely uncomfortable inside!
Fortunately, Kong Wen spoke faintly, "Rest assured, tonight is the full moon night, that demon loves magical artifacts the most in its life, it will definitely come!"
Beside him, Wang Sheng heard this and said angrily, "Good if it comes, it should rip that Lin to shreds!"
When he left the village yesterday, Lin Heng’s indifference had left him furious.
The friendship between the two Daoist temples was no more. He now only wished for Lin Heng to regret not joining them at the Zen Spirit Temple!
"It is rumored that the demon’s strength is immeasurable, even the Spirit Suppression Bureau of Chang City can’t handle it."
If it comes, Lin Heng has no chance of survival!"
Wang Yuan showed a slight smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
According to Elder Kong Wen, every fifteenth full moon night of the month, demons and the like would be washed by a special moonlight.
Some would find their cultivation smooth.
Some would have surges in demon power.
And that Evil Spirit City God can become immune to the damage of righteous magical artifacts.
This effect was quite special. According to the abbot of the Zen Spirit Temple, it was likely because that demon lived near the City God Temple three hundred years ago.
During the peak of incense offerings, it enjoyed some blessings, thus having a slight foundation in the righteous incense path, so it did not fear exorcism magical artifacts!
As for Lin Heng, his arrogance yesterday was all thanks to his magical artifacts, wasn’t it?
Encountering this demon would be a foregone conclusion!
The bustling temple finally returned to peace.
Lin Heng closed the temple gate, glancing casually at the merit box, showing a wry smile.
Even though he emphasized multiple times today, he didn’t need everyone to give incense money.
But these passionate young people who came from everywhere couldn’t help themselves and put nearly three hundred thousand in cash into the merit box.
Lin Heng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at this.
But he was still happy in his heart, because what increased today was not just the incense money, but also many believers!
Although there wasn’t a large crowd of diehard followers like yesterday.
But with over a thousand people coming in throughout the day, little by little, the reputation value increased by more than 80,000!
Adding the remaining over 110,000 from before, the total reputation value has accumulated to 200,000.
Lin Heng was not in a hurry to draw rewards.
He decided to wait until the reputation value accumulated to a million, then draw a batch of Golden Light Spell level rewards!
"Heaven and Earth Profound Sect, Root of All Qi."
"Extensive Cultivation for Billions of Years, Prove My Divine Techniques."
"Only Dao is Revered within and outside the Three Realms."
"The body is covered with Golden Light, reflecting upon myself."
Deep into the night, Lin Heng was in the Ancestral Hall, buried in researching the various small techniques of using the Golden Light Spell.
He discovered that the golden light can cover the entire body, and can also be concentrated on a single finger. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0velFire.ɴet
A mere flick can penetrate with golden light, its power surprisingly high, even exceeding Palm Thunder!
Regarding this, Lin Heng stated that as one of the Eight Great Daoist Divine Spells, it’s really exceptionally impressive!
In the woods far across from the temple.
Kong Wen and others were still patiently waiting.
Tonight’s moon was extraordinarily round, and the moonlight was also exceptionally bright, bathing the sky, spreading over the earth.
Countless mountain spirits and wild monsters, ghosts and ghouls, all indulged under this moonlight, letting out wailing howls!
Only for Wang Yuan and others waiting in the forest all day, it wasn’t such a pleasant experience.
Watching as the bright full moon hung high in the sky, and the Qingfeng Daoist Temple across still had no movement.
This made their gazes show some impatience.
Just as everyone was feeling agitated, a faint bloody scent was carried by the mountain breeze.
Suddenly, Wang Sheng exclaimed, pointing to the narrow and winding mountain path of White Cliff Mountain.
There, a presence as tall as a house, with a ruddy face and a majestic aura, resembling a temple idol, was slowly making its way up the mountain.
Kong Wen clenched his fists, a trace of excitement on his face.
"Is this the rumored Demon City God?"
Wang Yuan and Wang Sheng exchanged glances, both showing fear in their eyes.
Even from afar, they felt a spine-chilling sensation, even a little tremor in their hearts, not daring to look directly.
This pressure was truly terrifying!
"Lin Heng is finished!"
The Wang brothers showed a hint of excitement on their faces.
And at that moment, the Evil Spirit City God also grinned sinisterly.
Looking at the Qingfeng Daoist Temple ahead, it only wanted to say, blame that damned Daoist that night!
It was he who caused your Qingfeng Temple to face the calamity of total destruction tonight!
"The City God has arrived, within the temple, little Daoists, kneel and welcome!"
The Evil Spirit City God spoke.
Its arrogant and mighty voice echoed over White Cliff Mountain.
