Daoist Qiuting had taught Lin Banxia some medical skills before, but not in a particularly systematic way. Now it would be a good opportunity for Lin Banxia and Daoist Yiyezi to learn together.
Consider it practice.
Lin Banxia is very serious about learning, so she learns quickly. Moreover, one thing she does Daoist Yiyezi is that she is particularly daring in applying needles.
Daoist Qiuting certainly wouldn't dare let her practice on patients, but he would have her and Daoist Yiyezi their skills against each other.
Generally, as long as Daoist Qiuting explains to Lin Banxia which acupoint to needle and gives her a little guidance, Lin Banxia can insert the needles accurately.
You should know that when Daoist Qiuting was teaching Daoist Yiyezi acupuncture, Daoist Yiyezi trembled for quite a while before he dared to insert the needles.
Daoist Qiuting was quite satisfied with this point.
Daoist Yiyezi was quite envious of Lin Banxia: "How can you be so brave? You're not afraid of acupuncture at all."
Lin Banxia: "Why should I be afraid? Shouldn't you be the one who's afraid?"
Daoist Yiyezi: "..."That's right.
Chapter 123
Yun Zhaozhao doesn't actually make money from the Daoist medicine clinic.
When it comes to making money, which is easier than a traditional Chinese medicine clinic: a bed and breakfast or an agricultural base?
Even setting aside guesthouses and agricultural bases, the Clear Breeze Temple itself is more profitable than a Daoist medical clinic.
However, the Daoist medical clinic at Clear Breeze Temple has a purpose beyond just making money.
It wasn't as grand as Tang Li's " Inheritance." Yun Zhaozhao just felt that the Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple were all old and young. What if someone had a headache or fever? It would be so expensive to see a doctor at a big hospital!
Besides increasing revenue, cost-saving is also very important for running a Daoist temple.
Besides, it's better to have it yourself than to have it from someone else, so even if the Daoist medical clinic doesn't make money, Yun Zhaozhao will support Daoist Qiuting and the others to keep it going.
Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine clinics are actually profitable.
In addition to treating patients, the Daoist medical clinic is also responsible for selling Chinese herbal medicines in the backyard of Clear Breeze Temple.
The Chinese medicinal herbs in the backyard have various different growing cycles, some are six months old, some are one year old, some are two years old, and some are even three to five years old or ten years old.
Anyway, Lin Banxia planted batch after batch and sold batch after batch.
This portion of the revenue is also included in the income of the Daoist Medical Clinic.
Besides being skilled in feng shui and fortune telling, Daoist Qingxin could also draw talismans and chant incantations. So, when he occasionally wandered over to the Daoist medical clinic, he would offer Yun Zhaozhao some advice. "Your Clear Breeze Temple is so unconventional, so why is the Daoist medical clinic so traditional? Taking pulses, asking questions, and prescribing Chinese herbal medicine every day—it doesn't seem like a Daoist medical clinic at all; it's more like a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. It doesn't fit the style of your Clear Breeze Temple at all."
Yun Zhaozhao asked curiously, "Then what do you think would fit the style of our Clear Breeze Temple?"
Daoist Qingxin: "First of all, when a patient comes, you should at least draw a talisman for them, right?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."I'd like to too, but first I need to know how to draw talisman water.
Daoist Qingxin: "Besides drawing talismans and pouring water*, you should also take a look at their palm and tell their fortune, right?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."That would require me to know palmistry and fortune telling.
Daoist Qingxin, "The last step is observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. If you're sick, you get treatment; if not, you leave. And considering this whole process, your registration fee is more than 2 yuan; 200 yuan would be considered cheap."
Yun Zhaozhao calmly stood up and looked around. Daoist Qingxin looked at her, puzzled. "What are you looking at?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I'll see if there's any empty space, I'll just set up a stall for you. You don't need to look at more than 20 a day, that'll be enough."
Daoist Qingxin silent instantly.
He's just talking nonsense when he's bored; if you actually put him to work, he couldn't stand it for a second.
Daoist Qingxin didn't want to go to work, and neither did Yun Zhaozhao.
Yun Zhaozhao has been focusing on taking possession of the house and decorating it lately. When she was helping Grandpa Lin look after the agricultural base, she would take the time to read some books on management. Now that Grandpa Lin is back, she doesn't even want to read books anymore and spends her days searching for decoration cases online.
Come to think of it, she seems to have been renovating for the past few years.
First, they renovated the old Clear Breeze Temple, then the new Clear Breeze Temple, and then the guesthouses at Clear Breeze Temple...
Yun Zhaozhao may not be able to speak for herself in other areas, but when it comes to interior design, she's definitely an expert.
-
Hearing that she was preparing to renovate her home, Wen Xu proactively approached her. "When you're renovating, buy me a set of furniture along with everything you buy. I'm too lazy to go shopping, and I trust your taste."
Yun Zhaozhao's first reaction was, "Why should I?"
Wen Xu shut Yun Zhaozhao down with one sentence. "I'll pay for it, including your share."
Although Yun Zhaozhao was wealthy, spending Wen Xu's money made her feel much better than spending her own, so she immediately changed her mind. "It's a deal, whoever goes back on their word is a dog."
Wen Xu glanced at Yun Zhaozhao, too lazy to even expose her hypocritical little money-grubber mask.
While Yun Zhaozhao wasn't exactly stingy when looking at furniture before, she would always consider the cost-effectiveness. But ever since Wen Xu said he would pay for the furniture, Yun Zhaozhao has dared to put even a 100,000 RMB sofa into her shopping cart.
Jingting once accidentally glanced at Yun Zhaozhao's shopping list and gasped in shock. "You're buying a 100,000 yuan sofa? Is sitting on this sofa going to make you fly or something?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I didn't buy it, I just put it in my shopping cart to satisfy my urge to buy it."
Later, when Jingting chatting with Wen Xu, I mentioned the "100,000 sofa" incident. I thought Wen Xu would be just as surprised as I was, but to my surprise, Wen Xu just raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything.
Jingting continued, "... But I asked her again later, and the abbess said she didn't plan to buy it; she just wanted to have a taste."
This time, Wen Xu didn't raise his eyebrows, but frowned. He was thinking: It seems I still need to work harder, otherwise Yun Zhaozhao will hesitate to spend his money on a 100,000 yuan sofa.
In other words, Jingting had no idea what Wen Xu was thinking. If he did, he would shake Wen Xu frantically and shout, "Wake up, Wen Xu! A man with a love-struck mind has no future!!!"
-
Although Yun Zhaozhao has been looking at renovations and furniture lately, it's still a long way off before she can actually buy furniture for her new house!
Because she still needs to go through a series of procedures such as taking possession of the property and completing the interior decoration before she can get to the step of buying furniture.
So she was enthusiastic for a while, but gradually she calmed down.
That day, Daoist Baiyun came to see Yun Zhaozhao and said that he planned to register Clear Breeze Temple for a martial arts competition.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao's first reaction was to refuse. "A martial arts competition? That's inappropriate; they've only been practicing for a short time!"
Daoist Baiyun, "It's precisely because they haven't practiced for very long that we signed them up to go and broaden their horizons, to gain some experience points. If they practiced for a longer period, they would be under pressure to win an award."
Yun Zhaozhao thought for a moment, "I don't care, but what do the Daoist priests say?"
Daoist Baiyun, "They are extremely confident in themselves, believing themselves to be martial arts prodigies."
Yun Zhaozhao: "..." When it comes to self-confidence, the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple are truly gifted.
Yun Zhaozhao: "You're their master now. If you think it's worth a try, let's give it a shot. Just a few days ago, the Daoist medical clinic told me that our temple's traditional Chinese medicine for sprains and bruises is about to be unearthed. When they get beaten up and come back, they can also try out the effects of these herbs."
Daoist Baiyun: "..." He originally thought he was ruthless, after all, he had only practiced for less than a month and he wanted to send these Daoist priests to the competition to get beaten up, but now compared with Yun Zhaozhao, he felt that he was a gentle sweetheart.
But regardless, the competition is now set in stone.
However, before that, Daoist Baiyun needs to work even harder to train the Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao didn't take it too seriously, since it was clearly a losing proposition. Besides, these kinds of competitions are usually about making friends through martial arts, and it's probably more about exchanging skills and exchanging techniques. It might not even be as intense as the last time the Daoist priest from Embracing Bamboo Temple came over!
Until she learned that Cloud Peach Temple was also participating in this martial arts competition.
This caused an uproar not only among her but also among all the Clear Breeze Temple.
Actually, Cloud Peach Temple didn't go around the temple talking about the things Yun Zhaozhao had said about Clear Breeze Temple online. But maybe Clear Breeze Temple was only so big, or maybe Tang Li couldn't stand it and complained a few times in private. Anyway, in the end, the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple all knew about it.
Everyone knew about it beforehand, but no one intended to do anything about it. After all, you can't just go to White Cloud Temple, drag White Cloud Temple people out, and beat them up, can you? What would Clear Breeze Temple become then? A bandit organization?
But things are different now; now it's a martial arts competition.
This is like you're about to punch someone, but you can't find the right opportunity, and then someone suddenly pulls you both into the ring and says, "Punch anyone you want, and you'll get a prize if you win."
So, are you going to beat them up, or beat them up, or beat them up?
Daoist Baiyun keenly sensed that the group of Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple were getting a little too excited.
He had previously mentioned going to participate in a martial arts competition, and the group of Daoist priests were excited, but that excitement was just normal excitement. But now it's different; now it's as if a kind of bloodlust... or rather, animalistic instinct has awakened.
Daoist Baiyun:... What on earth happened to these Daoist priests?
However, since it was a martial arts competition, a bit of animalistic instinct would actually be more beneficial to performance. So, Daoist Baiyun not only didn't stop him, but was actually quite happy about it.
In fact, ever since they learned that White Peach Temple would also be participating in this Daoist martial arts competition, the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple have been training even harder. After all, they initially participated in the martial arts competition with the mindset of broadening their horizons, but now they're aiming for something more.

The two mindsets are very different, so their training states are also completely different.
