Therefore, everyone studied very, very diligently.

White Peach Temple is paying close attention to Clear Breeze Temple. They know about any slight movement there. Moreover, Yun Zhaozhao's actions aren't just minor; she's making a big fuss about it.

So when the abbot of White Peach Temple heard the news, he was practically in tears: Clear Breeze Temple had already called and cursed them, and even sent a Daoist priest from True Yang Temple to scold them, were they still not satisfied, and now they wanted to send troops to attack?

Could it be that Clear Breeze Temple is really that vengeful?

Chapter 121

Cloud Peach Temple had been on tenterhooks for several days, but they were at a loss for what to do.

In the past, when there were conflicts between Daoist temples, they would either find a mediating temple to resolve the issue, or they would simply fight each other until one side defeated the other.

However, the conflict between Cloud Peach Temple and Clear Breeze Temple is something that can't be brought to the forefront. If other Daoist temples were to mediate, it would inevitably expose their ugly faces of secretly posting smears against Clear Breeze Temple. But if they don't seek mediation from other Daoist temples and instead confront them directly, Cloud Peach Temple really doesn't have the guts to do so.

Besides, what if a fight really breaks out and the True Yang Temple members also join in?

Finally, the abbot of Cloud Peach Temple couldn't eat or sleep, and was so frightened that he fell ill for several days.

Yun Zhaozhao had no idea that Daoist Baiyun's visit to teach martial arts to the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple would yield such an unexpected result. If she had known earlier, she probably would have invited Daoist Baiyun over much sooner.

After all, it would be good to intimidate Daoist temples like White Peach Temple.

Otherwise, if Clear Breeze Temple doesn't show its power, these Daoist temples will always think that Clear Breeze Temple is easy to mess with.

Because they were coming to teach the Daoist priests martial arts, Daoist Baiyun and Daoist Qingxin stayed at Clear Breeze Temple.

Daoist Qingxin had been a frequent visitor to Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, so he wasn't surprised to be staying there. But this was Daoist Baiyun's first time. Although he had heard of Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, he didn't know it would be such a pleasant place to stay.

Now that I've moved here, I realize that the Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple are living such a good life.

First and foremost, eat well.

Both cafeteria chefs are highly skilled cooks, preparing a variety of dishes every day with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, making everyone want to keep eating.

Secondly, it's important to sleep well.

After all, with Clear Breeze Mountain as its backdrop, they breathe the freshest and cleanest air from the Clear Breeze Mountain. Moreover, Clear Breeze Temple has now opened a guesthouse, and Yun Zhaozhao has copied all the sleeping pillows, air-conditioning blankets, and sleep-aiding aromatherapy products from the guesthouse and brought them back to Clear Breeze Temple. So, although the Daoist priests are busy and tired in the temple during the day, they can almost always get a good night's sleep.

Of course, the most important point is that Clear Breeze Temple offers a higher degree of freedom compared to other Daoist temples.

Most Daoist temples have very strict rules and regulations. If anyone violates these rules, they will be punished by kneeling and reflecting on their mistakes, or even beaten. However, Clear Breeze Temple does not have so many rules. Even if the Daoist priests occasionally make a small mistake, they will only receive a few words of reprimand. They are rarely beaten or even forced to kneel.

To be honest, Daoist Baiyun really envies this kind of democratic and free atmosphere.

If he were ten or twenty years younger, he might also be willing to work at Clear Breeze Temple.

After all, being a Daoist priest is the same no matter where you are, so why not find a Daoist temple where you're more comfortable?

However, the more democratic and free a Daoist temple is, the higher the requirements for its managers are. After all, if you have iron-fisted policies, it's normal for people to obey you, but if you give everyone the greatest democracy and freedom and still expect them to listen to you obediently, then that tests the manager's skills even more.

Therefore, Daoist Baiyun admires Yun Zhaozhao for this.

Moreover, Yun Zhaozhao looked quite young and appeared to be completely powerless. Daoist Baiyun simply couldn't imagine what abilities she had that allowed her to manage Clear Breeze Temple.

Yun Zhaozhao replied nonchalantly, "The Daoist priests of our Clear Breeze Temple are all very capable of self-management. They can manage themselves very well on their own, and there is no need for me to manage them."

But deep down, I was thinking: What else can I rely on? Of course, it's my incredible financial power!

-

To be honest, Yun Zhaozhao only recently learned that money can be so useful even to Daoist priests who are supposed to be detached from Qingxin desires.

The reason she suddenly came to this realization was because of Daoist Zhu.

In the last vegetarian food competition, Daoist Zhu and Daoist Chang Kong participated together and won a prize.

Yun Zhaozhao didn't take the money at the time and let the two of them divide it among themselves.

This was originally an ordinary thing, but after that, Daoist Zhu felt like he was on a high, working incredibly hard.

They even started thinking a year in advance about what dish they would make to enter in the next vegetarian food competition.

Yun Zhaozhao privately asked Daoist Chang Kong, " Daoist Zhu usually doesn't seem to care about money and other material things, so why is he so concerned about these things this time?"

Daoist Chang Kong, with the air of someone who had been through it all, earnestly said to Yun Zhaozhao, "We cultivators may not care about these material things, but we also have families, wives and children. And because we have dedicated our bodies and minds to the Daoist temple, we feel even more guilty towards our families. We can't make up for it in other ways, but we can't be too stingy with our families financially."

Yun Zhaozhao didn't say anything at the time, but the next day she and Tang Li recalculated the Daoist priests' salaries. Based on the priests' years of service and performance, she increased their salaries where appropriate, and for those who couldn't be increased, she found a way to give them red envelopes as rewards.

Privately, she also asked Tang Li to tell the Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple that if any of their relatives needed job placement, they could go through the internal staff channel to the guesthouses and agricultural bases at Clear Breeze Temple for interviews.

The relationships among the colleagues at Clear Breeze Temple were not complicated to begin with. Now that Yun Zhaozhao has raised everyone's salaries and benefits, and even introduced jobs for their families to support them, everyone has become even more devoted to Clear Breeze Temple.

So it's no wonder that Yun Zhaozhao dared to boast in front of Daoist Baiyun that the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple all managed themselves.

In fact, the power of money is not only useful to the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple, but also to the netizens in the Jingting broadcast room.

It's even better than other devices.

During this period, apart from doing live-streaming sales with Wen Xu every Wednesday, Jingting hasn't been doing live-streaming very frequently.

You have to understand that when he first started live streaming, he was online almost 24 hours a day.

Although his live stream duration is not as long as before, the number of fans watching his live stream is getting higher and higher.

Because every time Yun Zhaozhao was live-streaming, she would act as the live-streaming administrator and send red envelopes to his fans.

Although the amount of money in the red envelopes is not large, it is a real benefit.

So the viewership of the live stream was thus boosted by the power of money.

Of course, a large portion of these new followers eventually became customers of Clear Breeze Temple and Wen Xu Company, so no matter how you look at it, Clear Breeze Temple made a profit.

Wen Xu later found inspiration in Yun Zhaozhao.

He's always been a big spender. When he first came to City A to take over the new factory, he dared to advertise directly on the outer screen of the largest shopping mall in City A. Now that the new company is thriving, he's even more extravagant!

So he later found someone to send out red envelopes in the live stream himself.

In addition, he also invited some online influencers to help promote his products.

Most companies hire influencers to promote their products by simply having them say a few words in a live stream. But Wen Xu hired influencers to create short videos.

Regarding short videos, Yun Zhaozhao and her Daoist temple had participated before. However, at that time Yun Zhaozhao only lent Clear Breeze Temple to other film crews as a filming location. Although they gained some popularity later, the real beneficiaries were definitely the short video production crews.

Wen Xu hired someone to shoot a short video, mainly to promote their company's new products.

Therefore, Wen Xu's short videos are very simple and straightforward, basically featuring internet celebrities running in front while his company's products chase after them.

One netizen commented. "[This short video is pretty catchy; even chicken feet know how to woo pretty girls these days.]"

Then other netizens commented sarcastically. "[You don't understand, do you? These are chicken feet from a collaboration with Clear Breeze Temple. It wouldn't be surprising if they chased after fairies, let alone beautiful women.]"

These two comments were later voted highly by netizens, who were all joking and making fun of them. Regardless of the final outcome, the promotional effect was successfully achieved.

It turns out that Clear Breeze Temple not only has financial power, but also the charm of cute kids.

Daoist Baiyun initially only taught martial arts to about 20 adult Daoist priests, but as he continued, he took on another task at Clear Breeze Temple —leading the 10 young Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple to practice Tai Chi in the mornings.

Not only him, but even Daoist Qingxin couldn't help but join in, and in his spare time he began to teach the 10 young Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple how to tell fortunes, draw talismans, and look at feng shui.

Jingting looked on with a hint of envy. "Although I call Master Daoist Qingxin' Little Master' every day, Daoist Qingxin has never actually taught me anything properly. Of course, I can't blame my Little Master for that; it's mainly because I'm too stupid and have a poor learning ability. I can't learn many of the things he teaches."

Yun Zhaozhao: "It's not your fault. Look at me, I've been studying 'Fortune-Telling Crash Course in 30 Days ' for two or three years, and I still haven't mastered a single trick!"

It has to be said that Yun Zhaozhao knows how to comfort people; Jingting was instantly comforted by Yun Zhaozhao.

Yun Zhaozhao: "That's why it's best to learn things as early as possible. Our ten young Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple are doing quite well. They're young enough to be exposed to medicine, Daoist arts, and martial arts. If they can keep learning, I believe that in time, they will definitely be much stronger than us."
