Affairs Abound

Pixiu lowered its eyes, its heart filled with coldness.

'This is terrible, this is really terrible.'

'I wonder how he will be dealt with once he falls into this man's hands?'

Unexpectedly, the green-robed Daoist in front of them simply stretched out his sleeve, capturing the clouds and rain and releasing the light of the universe.

She smiled faintly at him:

"I don't want you to die or come back to life."

"You are, after all, an auspicious beast, and you rarely commit acts of killing."

"This humble Daoist priest is still lacking a porter."

"I think you're perfect for this role."

The Pixiu was initially delighted, but then it was stunned.

'Although I won't lose my life.'

'But from now on, your life and death will be out of your own hands; you will not be free under the tutelage of this Daoist.'

'Like this, like this...'

The Pixiu felt a pang of sympathy.

But now, there is no room for maneuver.

The Divine Beast was only stunned for a moment before it knelt down on the ground like a mountain of gold or a jade pillar.

Tears of gratitude flowed as he said:

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

"From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly, Master."

"To repay the master's kindness in sparing my life."

Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow and nodded, showing he was sensible and would save them some trouble.

With a flick of his sleeve, he brought the Pixiu into the Daoist temple.

He smiled, in a good mood:

Do you have a name?

Pixiu shook its head and said:

"The Lesser Animal is born from the condensation of wealth Auspicious Qi energy; it has no father or mother, and no true name of the Great Dao."

"I only know that beasts like myself are called Pixiu."

"That's not right, that's not right."

Zhou Yuan calculated with his fingers and shook his head slightly:

"Since that's the case, how about I bestow a name upon you?"

The Pixiu was overjoyed and looked expectantly at Zhou Yuan:

"Please, sir, have mercy on this one."

"Let's call it Jin Chentao."

The Daoist priest sat upright on the futon and casually said:

"Since you are capable of accumulating wealth, you deserve the title of 'Golden'."

"Your palace is a magnificent Imperial Palace, and you serve before me. You are worthy of the title 'noble'."

"The Pixiu is greedy, only taking in and never giving out, hence the name 'gluttonous'."

"Jin Chentao, you cultivate the Path of Wealth Attraction and Treasure Gathering, but you must know that everything in excess is as bad as deficiency."

"With the word 'greed' at the top, one should think carefully before acting, and not covet what does not belong to one."

"Remember this, remember this."

These are truly invaluable words of advice and sincere teachings.

Jin Chentao transformed into a kind-looking, burly man clad in golden armor.

He wore gold rings on both hands and around his neck.

He bowed deeply and said in a deep, muffled voice:

"Jin Chentao thanks you, sir."

"Your words of wisdom are invaluable, and I, Jin Chentao, will never forget them."

After seeing the mount, Zhou Yuan also gave him a task to complete.

"There are seventy-two caves in the In Wuyi Mountains."

"Each cave contains a sacred object used to guard it."

"Take this warrant and seal the cave, until tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan took the Innate Spiritual Treasure.

As for the lesser-grade Exotic Treasures and Innate Spiritual Objects, he left them in the Seventy-two Caves.

These spiritual entities are connected to the fortunes of the Seventy-two Caves.

Through mutual participation, they achieve fulfillment.

That would be bad to ruin this auspicious feng shui.

Jin Chentao silently nodded in agreement.

Then Zhou Yuan continued:

"The grotto is vast, and I live alone there, which makes it feel less like the Mortal World realm."

"You have been cultivating around Wuyi Mountain for a long time, so please find some kind and virtuous creatures to reside in my grotto."

"Let's find some capable people to cultivate the spirit fields and plant some resources for cultivation."

Jin Chentao was completely bewildered.

Poor thing, he was just a wild mountain monster.

On ordinary days, he's either treasure hunting or sleeping.

Where have I ever done such delicate work before?

Seeing his distress and fear, Zhou Yuan smiled and said:

You have accomplished this great task.

"I have my own benefits to bestow upon you."

"When I was traveling in the Grand Void, I comprehended a divine power called the Myriad Treasures Long River."

"With countless precious lights, it achieves supreme supernatural powers; in its movements and stillness, it is like a vast and mighty river."

"Ordinary practitioners who fall into the river will be assimilated by the precious light and transformed into resources for countless treasures in no time."

"Truly miraculous and powerful."

Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's description, Jin Chentao's eyes immediately lit up with fervor.

'Amazing power!'

The more Myriad Treasures Long River contains, the more powerful its supernatural abilities become.

'Isn't this perfect for me?'

'Sir, you really know how to make empty promises.'

I, Jin Chentao, am determined to devour this pancake.

"Just you wait and see, sir."

"I will definitely handle this matter perfectly."

Seeing that Jin Chentao had received the imperial edict, he went to handle the affairs.

Zhou Yuan withdrew his gaze, but a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

'The Innate Grotto-heavens are the foundation upon which the Daoist tradition is established.'

'With careful management, the Wuyi Mountain Grottoes are sure to become a great undertaking.'

'But if we wish to propagate the lineage of Taiyuan, we cannot do without disciples.'

Thinking that the Xuanmen is also about to open its gates.

If we don't take advantage of the moment when the mountain is opened to establish a lineage and share some of the Xuanmen's fortune,

It will be even more difficult to interfere in Xuanmen affairs in the future.

'It's a pity I was born a little too late.'

'It cannot compare to the profound foundations of the Three Pure Ones Nuwa, whose Daoist lineages have countless disciples.'

He shook his head, suppressing the regret in his heart.

The Dao Discussion Platform on the Huai River will be put into use soon.

The Huai River Water Palace can gather quite a few cultivators, which can make up for some of the losses.

'Jin Chentao is rather crude and not very good at management.'

'Letting him temporarily manage Wuyi Mountain won't be a problem.'

'If this continues, it might cause trouble.'

'We still need to get the people from the Water Palace to come.'

Shuifu has been operating for many years.

There was already a well-functioning system in place.

Only a few key personnel need to be selected.

The scaffolding has been set up.

The management of Wuyi Mountain will soon be on the right track.

Thinking this, Zhou Yuan's heart stirred.

He used his supernatural powers to condense a jade slip.

The jade slip emitted a burst of Heavenly Light, leaped into the Grand Void, and vanished in an instant.

After Zhou Yuan finished doing this, a Heavenly Light appeared between his brows.

The light shines throughout the Wuyi Mountains.

Seeing all things flourishing, inspiration surged forth.

A thought suddenly struck him:

' Wuyi Mountain is teeming with life. Having lived in this Innate Grotto-heaven for so long, even a weed has been imbued with some spiritual essence.'

'Although suppressed by the laws within the Innate Grotto-heaven, it is difficult for any living being to develop sentience.'

'But their foundation is top-notch.'

'If one can Open Spiritual Wisdom through cultivation, one's abilities will be no less than those of ordinary immortal flowers.'

Moreover, these beings were born in the grotto-heaven and, with Zhou Yuan's help, were able to awaken their wisdom and embark on the path of cultivation.

It is naturally connected to the Wuyi Mountains by the same energy and destiny.

There will be far fewer dirty deeds in the future.

Thinking about this...

Zhou Yuan immediately took nine Enlightenment Tea and brewed them with the Three Lights Divine Water.

Using his Divine Path Methods, he transformed the tea into a torrential downpour.

It was scattered throughout the caves and grottoes of Wuyi Mountain.

Instantly, birds soared through the sky, chirping joyfully.

Beasts roam the earth, bathed in the divine rain.

Flowers, grasses, and trees sway their bodies and strive to grow, all in order to get more rainwater.

Walking through the grotto, Jin Chentao felt the vibrant Dao essence and spiritual energy contained within the spiritual rain.

Then I looked at all the living things bathed in the rain.

He sincerely expressed his feelings:

"My lord, please have mercy."

The rain lasted for nine days.

It took Zhou Yuan eighty-one leaves from the Enlightenment Tea Tree to finally stop.

Every day, countless beings awaken to wisdom and pay homage to the sacred site high in the sky.

Every day, plants and trees sprout wisdom, and birds and beasts take on new forms.

"In this way, the karmic debt from In Wuyi Mountain can be considered repaid."

Zhou Yuan smiled and closed his eyes.

However, he needs to go into seclusion for spiritual cultivation.

There is a Great Merit to be done.
