"You can go if you want to."
Senior Brother explained in detail to Li Ye the hidden advantages and disadvantages of becoming a temple master.
The advantages were naturally as Goddess Wangshu had promised.
But there were disadvantages as well.
For instance, managing incense offerings, helping those who believed in Goddess Wangshu solve their problems, and crafting certain Spirit Materials unique to Wangshu's temples.
All of these required the temple master's attention.
"Wait."
"Are these really disadvantages?"
Li Ye could not help interrupting.
"As far as I know, these items are all Spirit Materials exclusive to Goddess Wangshu. Even our Four Seasons Sect cannot easily get its hands on them. Obtaining these formulas should be a good thing for cultivators, shouldn't it?"
Senior Brother merely chuckled. "These things are quite complicated. Once you take them on, you'll have to study hard. You won't be able to drink tea and sample pastries. Isn't that a disadvantage?"
"..."
"So there are no disadvantages, then?"
Li Ye had not expected his usually steady Senior Brother to joke with him.
"Of course."
"What Goddess Wangshu likes most is... cultivators with jade-like bearing. Besides, you already have a history with her. If you refuse, she will probably come bother you often."
"Still, you could consider refusing for now and getting a few more benefits."
Senior Brother's expression was somewhat subtle as he said this—Goddess Wangshu had invited him once as well. After all, he was the spirit of the Ruo Tree born from the Eastern Yang Sea, so he could barely be considered related to Wangshu.
An invitation from the Moon Goddess naturally would not turn into shameless pestering. Instead, she would send gifts from time to time—Moonlight Spirit Jade, Moon Dew, lunar spiritual energy...
In any case, she simply buried you under Treasures.
