Daoist Qiuting gestured for President Liu to lie face down on the bed, then gently lifted President Liu's shirt. She had an intimate knowledge of the human body's acupoints and the shape of the spine. With just a glance, she could sense which part was abnormal in shape. When she touched and rubbed it, her accuracy was almost perfect.
President Liu, lying on the bed, was now genuinely trembling, because he had previously tried chiropractic. The pain was unbearable for most people, practically torture. Moreover, while chiropractic worked immediately, it didn't take long for the pain to return to normal. So, he had essentially suffered for nothing.
He was even a little envious of the patients who had been pricked like hedgehogs by Daoist Qiuting. At least acupuncture only looked scary.
To President Liu's surprise, Daoist Qiuting's technique was not rough; in fact, it was quite gentle. Of course, it still hurt, but compared to the pain he had experienced during previous bone-setting, it was completely bearable.
Because Daoist Qiuting had her back to her, President Liu couldn't see her techniques; he could only feel a pair of slightly cool palms rotating and pushing against his waist...
The whole process lasted quite a long time. After it was over, Daoist Qiuting gave President Liu several boxes of plasters and several packets of secret Chinese medicine formulas, telling him to decoct and take them every night and apply the plasters before going to bed.
President Liu originally thought that this whole process would cost at least several hundred, if not several thousand, but the final cost was much cheaper than he expected. The only regret was that his illness probably couldn't be cured in one or two visits, and he would have to come back a couple more times.
However, as long as it can truly cure the root cause, coming back a couple more times is fine.
So President Liu was quite happy when he left.
Moreover, he made a point of feeling it while walking and found that after Daoist Qiuting's massage, he did feel that his lower back was not so painful anymore, and even his steps had become much lighter.
The enthusiastic old man, who had been standing in line behind President Liu, couldn't help but ask with concern when he saw him come out, "So, what did Daoist Qiuting say?"
President Liu thought for a moment and realized that Daoist Qiuting had barely spoken throughout the entire process. Apart from the massage and prescribing medicine, he probably hadn't uttered more than three sentences. So he truthfully replied, "He didn't say much, just that he needed to come twice more."
The old man chuckled and said, "If Daoist Qiuting let you come twice more, it means everything is fine. If he told you not to come anymore, it would mean that Clear Breeze Temple wouldn't accept you anymore, and that would be a real problem."
After hearing what President Liu. Liu said, his original plan to go back was abandoned. Since he was already here, he might as well stay a couple more days. Why not just get the illness treated before leaving? He could also take the opportunity to check out the surrounding area. Didn't Old President Wen say that he could invest in something around here?
Thinking this, President Liu couldn't help but ask the old man, "Excuse me, are there any places to stay near Clear Breeze Temple?"
The old man said, "Yes, Clear Breeze Temple itself has a guesthouse called Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse. You can search for it; I think it's not far away."
President Liu: "..." Goodness, this Daoist temple not only has its own Daoist medicine clinic and canteen, but it even has its own guesthouse! Its business scope is wider than his company's.
Chapter 156
After arranging things at the company, President Liu booked a room at Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse for a month. During this time, he went to Clear Breeze Temple Daoist Medical Clinic every few days to queue up for treatment from Daoist Qiuting. In just one month, he clearly felt that his back pain had been greatly relieved.
President Liu himself found it hard to believe, so he went to the hospital for a lumbar CT scan. The results clearly showed President Liu his lumbar spine had actually recovered by about 70-80%.
And he didn't know if it was because his back pain had been relieved, or if the feng shui of Clear Breeze Temple was really good for him, but in the past, whether he went on business trips or travels, he basically couldn't eat or sleep well. But during the time he stayed at Clear Breeze Temple, he ate well and slept soundly.
So much so that when he left Clear Breeze Temple and returned to his hometown, he looked in the mirror in private and clearly noticed that his face had become a little rounder, and even his complexion was much better than when he first came to City A.
In fact, he wasn't the only one who felt this way. When he got home, even his wife, who rarely praised him, couldn't help but tease him, "Are you sure you went to get your back fixed and not plastic surgery?"
President Liu: "Don't joke around. Let me tell you, Clear Breeze Temple really has something special. Look, I've only been there for less than a month, and my back pain is gone, I'm sleeping better, and I've even gained weight..."
Mrs. Liu was skeptical. "Is it really as exaggerated as you say?"
President Liu: "Didn't President Wen say before that he wanted to acquire land near Clear Breeze Temple for investment? I thought it was a complete pipe dream back then, but after personally inspecting the site this time, I think it might actually work out. No, I have to go and have a serious talk with Old Wen about this investment; I can't let someone else snatch it away..."
After finishing his speech, President Liu didn't even take a sip of tea before heading straight to Wen Xu's house.
Old President Wen was chatting with his Mrs. Wen after dinner when he saw President Liu rush in. He thought something major had happened, but when he heard President Liu say that he was planning to invest near Clear Breeze Temple, he was taken aback. "... So sudden? I've never heard you mention being interested in this before!"
President Liu didn't hide anything from him, and simply mentioned that he had been to Clear Breeze Temple recently, and then mentioned that Clear Breeze Temple had good feng shui, which attracted people...
As for whether investing near Clear Breeze Temple can actually make money, President Wen certainly wouldn't dare to guarantee it. But when it comes to the attractiveness of Clear Breeze Temple, President Wen definitely has the authority to say so. After all, his only biological son has traveled to so many places all over the country and abroad, and has never said he would stay for anyone. But after going to Clear Breeze Temple, it's practically the same as marrying into the family.
It's hard to say about other things, but in terms of attraction, Clear Breeze Temple is comparable to the Webbed Cave! Even Tang Sanzang would probably stay there.
Of course, acquiring land to invest in building villas is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It's a big deal that requires careful and long-term planning. So, after chatting for a long time, the two old friends only came up with some preliminary plans.

Yun Zhaozhao later heard about Wen Xu Xu's efforts to attract investment for their Clear Breeze Temple, since she and Wen Xu had a mutual friend named Jingting.
Jingting told Yun Zhaozhao about what Wen Xu had done. His idea was simple: he wanted to bring the two of them together, since he had always been Yun Zhaozhao and Wen Xu's number one CP fan.
Yun Zhaozhao was touched after hearing this, but more than that, she was moved.
"If your father's friend really does invest in real estate near Clear Breeze Temple, could I buy some shares? To be honest, I'm also very optimistic about the real estate market near Clear Breeze Temple."
After all, the city has developed rapidly in recent years, the real estate market is still booming, and the pace of urban expansion is getting bigger and bigger. Clear Breeze Temple is surrounded by mountains and fresh air. Even the water source has been improved by Yun Zhaozhao and everyone in Clear Breeze Temple in recent years. It will only become more and more livable in the future.
Since it's an investment anyway, why not invest near Clear Breeze Temple? The better Clear Breeze Temple develops, the more valuable the land and houses in the vicinity will become; the more valuable the land and houses become, the more money Yun Zhaozhao will make...
In a way, this can be considered as achieving a virtuous cycle internally.
Wen Xu said with a hint of helplessness, "Didn't you already agree to stay put? Why are you suddenly thinking about investing in real estate again?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I only invested because I agreed to the land lease. If I hadn't, I would have acquired the land myself and found someone to build my own villa."
Such arrogant words, but coming from Yun Zhaozhao's mouth, they somehow sounded somewhat reasonable. Moreover, Wen Xu believed that she indeed had the financial means.
However, on the other hand, it would be too much of a hassle for Yun Zhaozhao to go through the trouble of pulling strings to acquire the land and then finding someone to build the villa herself. Moreover, as the abbot of Clear Breeze Temple, it wouldn't be good for the Clear Breeze Temple's image if she were to transform herself into a developer. That's why Yun Zhaozhao gave up on that idea and simply wanted to invest in the project.
Wen Xu suggested to her, "If you really want to invest, there's no need to do so at this stage. Just buy a couple more houses after the villa is built."
Yun Zhaozhao thought it made sense and gave up.

The young Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple are all on summer vacation. For Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, taking care of about ten kids on summer vacation isn't a difficult task, since there are so many ways to pass the time. For example, these kids can learn to make pastries with Daoist Chang Kong, or they can go to the backyard with Lin Banxia to learn how to weed, water, and pick fruit, or even learn to recognize herbs with Daoist Qiuting... In addition, they can learn to do morning prayers, practice Tai Chi Chuan, chant scriptures, and if they want, they can even go down the mountain with the Daoist priests to perform rituals.
There's no childcare method that Clear Breeze Temple can't implement, only methods you can't imagine.
However, for some of the Daoist priests' children at Clear Breeze Temple, taking care of kids during winter and summer vacations is not so easy.
Not all Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple are forbidden from marrying or having children; some are allowed to marry and have children like normal people. Besides the priests, Clear Breeze Temple also has some ordinary employees who, like Yun Zhaozhao, are not members of Daoism. This group also faces the challenges of raising children during summer vacation.
After consulting with the Daoist priests and employees, Tang Li decided to set up a free summer camp for employees at Clear Breeze Temple.
The summer program is divided into two sessions, each lasting half a month.
The time is from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The course content is mainly divided into three parts:
The first part is storytelling. Almost every Daoist priest at Clear Breeze Temple has a wealth of supernatural tales, some passed down from their master's master, and others based on their own experiences.
These days, while some children might not like reading, almost no child dislikes listening to stories. And it's not just toddlers; even babies a few hundred months old enjoy stories! Otherwise, why would Daoist Qingxin have amassed so many followers by livestreaming ghost stories?
