Because the college students had to return to their dormitories, Maomao stayed at Clear Breeze Temple for the time being. Coincidentally, Lin Banxia also needed to change Maomao's dressings during this period, so Yun Zhaozhao temporarily handed over the task of taking care of Maomao to Lin Banxia.
As for the heavy physical labor in the backyard, Yun Chaochao asked Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao to help with the two new disciples.
Although Yun Zhaozhao temporarily kept the cat, she was worried that opening this door would lead to more and more uncontrollable factors, so she specifically instructed Jingting not to say anything carelessly during future live streams. As for the little stray cat, now that it had been kept, they could only wait and see.
Lin Banxia took a special liking to this stray kitten.
Strictly speaking, this kitten was her first "patient".
Lin Banxia felt that her medical skills had finally found a use, so she changed the kitten's dressings very frequently every day.
It seems she cares more about her own legs than she does about the kitten's.
Whether it was good luck or a genuine act of kindness that moved the heavens, a few days later, the kitten's injured leg slowly began to move again. Although its mobility certainly wouldn't fully recover, it was much better than anyone had expected.
When the weekend came, the college students who had brought the cats over again. This time, they didn't bring any stray cats; they just came to check on how the kittens were recovering.
They probably hadn't expected Lin Banxia to actually heal the kitten's leg injury, so they looked at Lin Banxia with the same reverence one would show a miracle doctor. One of the students even offered to give Lin Banxia a plaque with four large characters that read "Miraculous Healing Hands."
Lin Banxia said no, no, but the corners of her mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.
Yun Zhaozhao hadn't expected Lin Banxia's medical skills to have improved so much. To be honest, her memory was still that of Lin Banxia as an "acupuncture killer," so she was quite happy to see that Lin Banxia could now use her pharmacological knowledge to treat stray kittens.
It can only be said that this year, not only has Clear Breeze Temple grown rapidly, but everyone in Clear Breeze Temple has also grown and changed along with the Clear Breeze Temple.

This includes Tang Li, who was sent from Zhu Ruiming's father's company.
Speaking of which, Tang Li had been handling all the publicity work for Clear Breeze Temple recently. Yun Zhaozhao had been worried that if Tang Li went back, there would be no one to do these trivial but important things, so she even considered asking the HR lady to recruit a publicity staff member for Clear Breeze Temple. However, before she could even tell the HR lady about this, Tang Li told her that he didn't plan to go back to Zhu Ruiming's father's company and wanted to stay and work for Yun Zhaozhao.
Yun Zhaozhao was utterly flattered. "... Really? Are you sure?"
Tang Li: "I'm not entirely sure, but I do have this plan for now. However, I might change my mind after thinking about it carefully..."
Yun Zhaozhao immediately said, "Then don't think about it any longer, it's settled then. I'll print out the contract and we'll sign it right away."
Tang Li: "..." There's no need to be in such a hurry.
Actually, Tang Li's idea wasn't a sudden whim. He had this plan when he went on a team-building trip with Yun Zhaozhao last time. Before, he worked in publicity at Zhu Ruiming's father's company. To be honest, although it was very fulfilling, it was also extremely hard work. There were endless overtime hours, meetings, and promotional materials to write every day... At that time, Tang Li basically had no quality of life to speak of; all he had was work.
The time Tang Li spent at Clear Breeze Temple was arguably the most relaxed and comfortable period of his entire working life. Although his salary wasn't as high as before, the difference wasn't significant. Moreover, the new Clear Breeze Temple was about to be completed, and Yun Zhaozhao had said that once the new temple was finished, employee dormitories would be provided for all of them. Considering all that, the Clear Breeze Temple, which provided room and board, was actually on par with his previous company's salary.
Of course, salary and benefits aren't the key points; the key point is that working at Clear Breeze Temple is truly very relaxed and comfortable!
During this period of time, whenever Tang Li thought about returning to the kind of busy, day-and-night life he used to lead, and never being able to eat the meals cooked by Daoist Chang Kong Changkong again, he felt that half of the joy in life would be gone.
So after careful consideration, he finally decided to follow his heart and stay at Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao was overjoyed that Tang Li was willing to stay. After all, this meant that Clear Breeze Temple wouldn't need to recruit people specifically for publicity. Besides, Tang Li was more than just a simple publicity person; Tang Li was the one who helped connect them with the " Subduing Demons " short video production team. Tang Li had also been handling all the interactions with the " Subduing Demons " team recently.
It can be said that Daoist Chang Kong and Tang Li, one focused on internal affairs and the other on external affairs, together helped Yun Zhaozhao build the Clear Breeze Temple that it is today.
Thinking about it, Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but pat Tang Li's shoulder emotionally and praise him again, "Your decision to stay was truly wise. I declare that from now on, you and Daoist Chang Kong will be my right-hand men. When our Clear Breeze Temple becomes big and strong, I will definitely pay out of my own pocket to make a statue of you and Daoist Chang Kong and place it at the entrance of Clear Breeze Temple, so that all future generations who come to Clear Breeze Temple can see your splendor."
Tang Li: "..." Xie Xie you, but I really don't need it.

Although Tang Li was impressed by the work atmosphere at Clear Breeze Temple and decided to stay, the HR lady decided to go back. It's not surprising that she didn't want to stay; recruiting at a Daoist temple is much harder than recruiting in a company.
When she recruits for companies, she gets at least ten or eight people for interviews every day. But when she's recruiting for Clear Breeze Temple, she might not get a single interview even after ten or eight days.
Anyway, she's been helping Clear Breeze Temple recruit people for so long, and apart from Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao, who are her two new disciples, she hasn't recruited a single other new person.
This was a major setback for the workaholic HR lady, and it really took a toll on her mental state.
Yun Zhaozhao could particularly understand the feeling of difficulty in recruiting people. After all, she had been at Clear Breeze Temple for almost a year and a half and had only managed to recruit a few people so far.
So you really can't blame the young lady for not working hard enough; it's just that Clear Breeze Temple has always had a long-standing problem of finding people.
Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao suggested to Yun Zhaozhao, "If that doesn't work, we can still recruit from our Daoist Academy. After all, a new batch of graduates will be coming next summer. Even if we can only recruit one or two a year, over time, it will add up and we won't have too few people."
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "I think our approach was wrong before. We were recruiting online. But most people online are just watching the show; there's probably only one in a hundred who really wants to become a Daoist priest at Clear Breeze Temple. I think we should go directly to the villages and promote our services. After all, many people in the villages go out to work to make a living, but some leave their elderly parents and children at home, which isn't a long-term solution. Our temple allows people to practice while still keeping their hair, and we also permit marriage."
Having a child
For them, it's essentially a job, and one that pays well, is easy, and close to home. I think if we promote it properly, there will definitely be villagers willing to do it."
Yun Zhaozhao thought about it and realized it made a lot of sense. After all, the villagers weren't well-off, and if Clear Breeze Temple could provide them with suitable jobs, they might be more willing to give up their jobs elsewhere and stay at Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao had connections with the village chiefs of nearby villages, so she called one of them and asked him to announce over the loudspeaker that Clear Breeze Temple was recruiting a Daoist priest.
Everyone is welcome to register.
Previously, Yun Zhaozhao required Daoist priests to have a bachelor's degree or above. However, since few people in the village had a bachelor's degree, and they were only recruiting ordinary Daoist priests to be responsible for the daily work of the Clear Breeze Temple's new temple, Yun Zhaozhao relaxed the educational requirements, requiring only a vocational school diploma or above. The age requirement was also relaxed along with the educational requirements, allowing anyone between 20 and 40 years old to apply.
Surprisingly, the results were quite good.
The announcement was broadcast over the loudspeaker for three days, and finally three or four villagers came to sign up. Yun Zhaozhao first had Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao vet the candidates, and then she interviewed them herself, ultimately keeping two. One was in his early twenties, named Zhuzi. Later, Yun Zhaozhao gave him the Daoist name Daoist Zhu, since Zhu and Zhu are homophones!
Then there was another man in his thirties, named Maodou ). Later, Yun Zhaozhao gave him the Daoist name Daoist Yuan ), since Maodou is round.
These two new Daoist priests were also learning from Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao. With their addition, Daoist Cen now has six people on his side.
Although the number of people is not as large as the elderly group at Grandpa Lin's place, it can still be considered a small group.
Moreover, when there are many Daoist priests, they all look quite imposing when they walk together in their Daoist robes.
Jingting used to be a loner, at most sometimes following Daoist Chang Kong around and making a fuss. But now, perhaps seeing how lively and bustling Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao's place is, he also goes to play with Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao when he's not livestreaming or sweeping.
Compared to Master Jingting and Daoist Chang Kong, Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao belong to the academic school. They have clearly marked out what time to meditate, chant scriptures, practice martial arts, and pray for blessings every day. Even eating and sleeping have strict times and requirements.
Some people might find this kind of regular schedule unbearable, but it's also more suitable for newcomers to quickly integrate into the Daoist temple environment. In any case, whether it was the two Daoist priests recruited by the HR lady before, or the Daoist Daoist Yuan and Daoist Zhu were recently recruited by Clear Breeze Temple, they quickly found their rhythm after spending a few days with Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao.
Seeing that Jingting came to listen in every day, Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao warmly invited him. " Senior Brother Jingting, would you like to chant scriptures and meditate with us? It's very helpful; after meditating, you'll feel completely relaxed, both physically and mentally."
