Arc 1Clear Breeze Temple Grows
Yun Zhaozhao turned Clear Breeze Temple into a food and merchandise business with help from Daoist Chang Kong, Jingting, and their growing circle of supporters. As the temple attracted customers and online attention, Yun faced a claim from Granny’s great-nephew and welcomed Lin Banxia, while a talisman blind box seemed to predict a family’s windfall.
- Yun Zhaozhao moved into Clear Breeze Temple, registered as its heir, learned about its debts and promised funding, and decided to recruit help after initially giving up on the temple.
- Yun hired Daoist Chang Kong, who lacked traditional Daoist skills but proved an excellent cook, and they attracted diners with temple meals, ginkgo cakes, smoked pork, and seasonal pastries.
- Yun expanded the temple’s offerings and publicity with bamboo crafts, festival food, campus blind boxes, and a video account that Jingting grew by livestreaming his insults.
- Yun attended a Taoist conference, promoted Clear Breeze Temple’s food, and recruited Xu Tingting and Xie Yu as campus representatives.
- Lawyer Wang warned Yun that Granny’s great-nephew wanted to reclaim the temple, but the man fled after Lawyer Wang explained that it was state property burdened with nearly ten million in debt.
- Jingting sold Daoist Chang Kong’s merit wooden fish to viewers, while Yun invited Lin Banxia to stay at the temple and assigned her a backyard plot for medicinal herbs.
- Yun directed Jingting to livestream Daoist Chang Kong’s cooking, and the food drew viewers as Xie Yu’s relative paid 5,000 yuan for blind boxes after one talisman appeared to predict a house demolition for a high-speed rail station.
