Anyway, whenever the Daoist priests from Cloud Peach Temple sparred with the Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple, they felt that the people from Clear Breeze Temple were like people who didn't care about their lives; they were incredibly fierce. And sometimes, when you threw a punch, they didn't seem to feel any pain. Before you could even retract your fist, they would already be swinging their fists at you again.
Just like Yun Zhaozhao said before, it's just a competition, who's really going to risk their life? So, facing the reckless group from Clear Breeze Temple, the Daoist priests from Cloud Peach Temple put up a token resistance for a few rounds before giving up completely.
In the end, of course, the people from Clear Breeze Temple won.
Captain Chunyu initially tried to turn the tide for everyone, but later realized they were simply outmatched. So he secretly gave everyone a meaningful look, telling them not to give Clear Breeze Temple any extra attention after the loss.
The more upset the loser feels, the happier the winner will feel. The point is to appear indifferent to winning or losing, so that even if Clear Breeze Temple wins, it will seem like they didn't win at all.
But in reality, nobody cared about the expressions on Cloud Peach Temple. All the Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple came down from the competition field with the same words in their eyes: triple the prize money, triple the prize money, triple the prize money...
Chapter 125
As it turns out, fortune cannot always favor Clear Breeze Temple. Although Clear Breeze Temple eventually defeated Cloud Peach Temple, that was all it achieved.
Because by the third round, they had lost completely.
But for everyone at Clear Breeze Temple, this result is already very good. In other words, they have achieved honor despite their defeat.
So after returning, Yun Zhaozhao specially asked the temple's chefs to prepare a celebratory feast for the Daoist priests to celebrate their triumphant return.
Of course, the promised triple bonus will be paid in full.
Daoist Qingxin has his own side income, so he has always been indifferent to money. After all, as he himself said, he earns a considerable income just by living in a haunted house and catching ghosts, and the ghosts in the world are like the bad people in the world, they can never be caught.
But Daoist Baiyun was different. He lived a very poor and austere life in his own Daoist temple. Of course, it wasn't that he deliberately chose to be poor; he just naturally became poor as time went by.
So, even Daoist Baiyun felt like he was dreaming after suddenly becoming rich.
A Daoist priest from Clear Breeze Temple, seeing his unfamiliarity with money, gently comforted him, "Come to Clear Breeze Temple more often, and you'll get used to it."
Daoist Baiyun tucked the money into his Daoist robe and nodded solemnly. "I must come often. From now on, Clear Breeze Temple will be my second home."
Everyone: "..."
Although Daoist Baiyun took the Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple to participate in a martial arts competition this time, this was only one part of his teaching plan, not the main task of his teaching plan.
So after returning from the martial arts competition, he continued training and swearing as usual, and his life at Clear Breeze Temple was no different from before.
The Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple didn't think there was anything special about participating in a martial arts competition. After all, they didn't win the championship. Besides, even if they had won, it wouldn't have been a big deal; they would still have to continue being Daoist priests when they came back.
Just like Daoist Zhu and Daoist Chang Kong, even though they went out to participate in a vegetarian competition and won the championship, they still had to come back and continue doing their old profession in a down-to-earth manner.
Daoist Baiyun felt that the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple all had a good mindset, and seemed to be indifferent to both honor and disgrace.
He admitted that at his age, he definitely couldn't do that.
If he made it to the third round of a martial arts competition on his first visit, and a complete stranger didn't know about it, then it's because his publicity efforts weren't thorough enough.
Yun Zhaozhao was very pleased with Daoist Baiyun's praise, "Yes, the masters of our temple are very calm and composed, and they are all very pragmatic."
Daoist Baiyun humbly inquired, "Then how do they manage to be so pragmatic at such a young age?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I don't know either. Maybe it's because they're pragmatic! After all, when they first came to Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, we were dirt poor and had nothing. If they weren't pragmatic, they probably wouldn't have come to Clear Breeze Temple in the first place. And even if they had, they probably wouldn't have stayed."
Daoist Baiyun: "..." I understand. This solves the problem of Daoist priests being impractical from the root.
-
Many people were unaware that the Daoist priests from Clear Breeze Temple had gone to participate in a martial arts competition, because they went quietly and returned quietly.
However, Daoist Baiyun's words also served as a reminder to Yun Zhaozhao. Yun Zhaozhao felt that since the Daoist priests had worked so hard to participate in the competition and had even achieved some results, it was appropriate to promote them.
So Yun Zhaozhao first had Tang Li post some short videos and pictures of the Daoist priests' competition on the official website and Weibo of Clear Breeze Temple, and then she also posted photos of the Daoist priests' daily training online.
The Daoist priests are usually very low-key, so it's rare for them to be promoted so extensively. Even though they maintain a calm and composed demeanor on the surface, they can't help but blush with excitement when they talk to each other in private.
After the group of Daoist priests returned to Clear Breeze Temple, Yun Zhaozhao remembered to ask them if they had used the herbal medicine packets they had brought.
Some of the Daoist priests said they used it, while others said they didn't.
Only a young Daoist priest named Xuwen made a startling statement. "I don't need it myself, but I sold the drug you gave me to fake fainting for a little more money."
Yun Zhaozhao instantly became excited. "... How did you sell it? Tell me in detail."
The young Daoist priest, a little embarrassed, said in the Xuwen, "Actually, it's nothing special. The Daoist priest I shared a room with said he gets terribly carsick. He saw I had a herbal medicine packet and asked if I had any anti-motion sickness medicine. I said I didn't really have any anti-motion sickness medicine, but I did have one that would make you faint immediately. I told him, 'If you really get carsick, you won't feel anything while you're on the road, right?' He probably thought what I said made sense, so in the end he actually spent money to buy it for me."
After a pause, Xuwen continued, "And when he got back, he thanked me, saying that he slept the whole way back in his senior brother's car and didn't feel anything when he arrived at the Daoist temple."
Yun Zhaozhao looked at Xuwen with admiration. "... In that case, if you're willing, you can come work in our Clear Breeze Temple's sales department. I think if you're well-trained, you might become our Clear Breeze Temple's new top salesperson in time."
Xuwen the young Daoist priest. "What is a top seller?"
Yun Zhaozhao succinctly stated, "He's one of the richest people at Clear Breeze Temple..."
The young Daoist priest in the Xuwen was instantly excited. "I still have this potential?"
Yun Zhaozhao: " Clear Breeze Temple makes the impossible possible."
The other Daoist priests said, "..." It's still too early to tell whether the Xuwen is suitable to be the top salesperson, but Master, you are really suitable to be the top salesperson.

In fact, the Chinese herbal medicines at Clear Breeze Temple have always been quite effective. One reason for this might be that Daoist Qiuting is a highly skilled physician who knows which combinations of herbs would produce better results.
On the other hand, it's also because Lin Banxia likes to tinker with these things. For example, the mosquito repellent she made after reading medical books was very popular.
Yun Zhaozhao later asked Lin Banxia to improve these herbal medicine packets, turning them into various herbal sachets, which were then sold at the guesthouse.
When the guesthouse first opened, it only offered Clear Breeze Tea and pastries made by Daoist Chang Kong. Later, various Clear Breeze Temple -related products were gradually added.
Now, with the addition of this herbal sachet, the Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse's small shop offers an even wider variety of products.
Many guests who stay at Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse not only drink tea and chat at the Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse, but also browse the small shops there. If they find something they like, they will buy a couple to take home.
With a wider range of choices available today, the number of customers has naturally increased.
Yun Zhaozhao's initial goal for her Martial Uncle Chuli was to stay at the guesthouse for two days each month, which meant that he would only need to work two days a month and could rest for 28 days.
But now, Martial Uncle Chuli prefers to stay at the guesthouse. So, instead of just spending two days there each month, he spends about half the month there.
Yun Zhaozhao sometimes joked with her Martial Uncle Chuli, saying, "These days, the older people get, the more they love their work, unlike us young people whose biggest goal in life is retirement."
Martial Uncle Chuli smiled faintly, "When you reach my age, you'll realize how fortunate it is to still be able to work!"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I think most people are already very fortunate to have lived to your age. Whether they work or not seems irrelevant."
Yun Zhaozhao initially took Martial Uncle Chuli from True Yang Temple simply to complete the task given to her by the NPC Lawyer Wang. Now that the task is long complete, Martial Uncle Chuli can stay wherever she wants.
Moreover, Yun Zhaozhao was even more pleased that he was willing to stay at the guesthouse. After all, there had never been a suitable person of her own to help keep watch over the guesthouse. Now that it was all right, with Martial Uncle Chuli there, people who didn't know better would think he was a "spy" that Yun Zhaozhao had specially placed there. Occasionally, when the guesthouse's manager or cleaner wanted to slack off, they would have to pretend to be lazy as soon as they saw Martial Uncle Chuli coming over, even if they didn't want to.
In any case, the work efficiency of the guesthouse has improved a lot as a result.

Previously, when Daoist Baiyun led the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple to compete, Daoist Qingxin was also busy assisting Daoist Baiyun and recording their training data.
But now that the competition is over and daily training has resumed, there's no need to meticulously record daily performance and training data anymore.
Therefore, Daoist Qingxin decided to leave.
Not only was Jingting reluctant to see him leave, but Yun Zhaozhao herself was also reluctant.
