Nearly taking form

"So many people came?"

Fang Weiyan stood aside and watched. Seeing so many people coming to offer incense, he was extremely happy.

With so many people, they can reap a huge harvest of Incense Offerings.

Fang Weiyan saw this and was about to take a closer look.

Just then, a glance caught sight of Feng Haixuan and Wang Youxian to the side.

Fang Weiyan was slightly taken aback upon seeing the two people.

"Daoist Master!"

Wang Youxian had excellent eyesight; upon seeing Fang Weiyan, he quickly walked over.

At this moment, Wang Youxian's face was full of joy. It was rare to see Fang Weiyan usually, so he didn't expect that he would bring the whole company to climb the mountain this time.

It turned out we ran into Fang Weiyan.

Fang Weiyan looked at the other person, then at Feng Haixuan beside him, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Did you bring these people?"

Fang Weiyan could tell that these people seemed to know each other well; they didn't seem like strangers at all.

Fang Weiyan guessed that so many of these people were familiar faces, and that they might have been brought by the other party.

"Yes, I heard that the Daoist priest felt this place was a bit deserted, with little Incense Offerings, so I brought people from my company here to add more Incense Offerings to the temple."

Upon hearing this, Wang Youxian immediately responded.

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan glanced at the group and nodded, feeling somewhat pleased.

Helping Wang Youxian this time was definitely the right thing to do!

Not only did they receive money from the other party, they also gained a wave of Incense Offerings; this business deal was incredibly profitable.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan nodded at the other person with a smile on his face, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.

Thank you for your help.

"It's alright, it's alright. If you need it, Daoist Master, I'll often take them hiking."

Wang Youxian sensed Fang Weiyan's joy and was immediately delighted.

It seems the Daoist priest still cares about the Incense Offerings of his temple.

Indeed, given that the Daoist priest is so powerful, the temple's Incense Offerings are not as plentiful as those of Buddhist temples, which is somewhat disheartening.

Thinking about it this way, it makes perfect sense.

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan glanced at the people in the company and nodded slightly.

It would be fine to bring them here a few more times; consider it a way for them to get some exercise.

Fang Weiyan watched from a distance as the Incense Offerings was continuously drawn into the statue, suppressing the joy on his face.

After chatting with the two people beside him for a while, Fang Weiyan went forward to add some more incense and candles, so that those who were offering incense would not run out of incense.

After finishing this task, Fang Weiyan prepared to leave and return to Linbei County to take a look.

Just then, my phone vibrated slightly.

Su Qingyun: "I'll visit you at the Daoist temple when I have some free time in a while."

Su Qingyun felt a little expectant at this moment. She had indeed been preoccupied with other matters recently, including another one.

They figured Fang Weiyan had only just arrived at the Daoist temple and was probably having a miserable time, so they didn't intend to go looking for him directly.

But now that so much time has passed, she wants to go and see him, and also try to persuade Fang Weiyan.

Stop staying in the Daoist temple. What's the point of staying in a Daoist temple?

After a month, Fang Weiyan should know that staying in the Daoist temple is actually very tough.

That way, persuasion should be effective.

Fang Weiyan was taken aback when he saw the message from Su Qingyun.

He then replied, "Okay, let me know in advance when you're coming."

Fang Weiyan was worried that if the other party suddenly showed up one day, he wouldn't know, and he wouldn't know that Su Qingyun had come to Linbei County.

That would be troublesome.

Su Qingyun answered and got down, her pretty face full of smiles as she held her phone.

She saw Fang Weiyan instructing her to inform him in advance, and assumed that Fang Weiyan valued her arrival highly.

With this in mind, Su Qingyun began to ponder when would be the best time to go.

After speaking with Su Qingyun, Fang Weiyan waited for a while.

Seeing that it was almost dark and the Daoist temple was deserted, they took the statue and returned to Linbei County.

Linbei County.

The moment the Earth God sensed Fang Weiyan's arrival and the statue in his hand, a wisp of divine light emanated from him.

"Grown ups!"

Sensing the Power of Incense Offerings within the statue, the Earth God immediately became excited.

This time, the Power of Incense Offerings he sensed seemed to be much stronger than the last time.

Seeing the other person's expression, Fang Weiyan understood what they were thinking and immediately nodded, saying, "This Power of Incense Offerings is for you."

"Thank you, sir!"

The Earth God quickly responded, then gently inhaled, drawing out the rich Power of Incense Offerings.

This time, the Power of Incense Offerings is much deeper in color and more concentrated than the last time.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He could sense that the Power of Incense Offerings this time was significantly greater than the last time.

It seems that more and more people are coming to burn incense lately.

Fang Weiyan was also delighted to see this.

A moment later, the last Incense Offerings was completely absorbed.

The divine power on the altar of the Earth God appeared to grow ever stronger.

A divine statue then began to slowly condense.

Just as the statue was about to materialize, it immediately disintegrated.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in his mind. What just happened...?

"Thank you, sir. My divine power has recovered considerably, and I can now protect the people of the county so they can travel to Pingshui City without worry."

The Earth God was overjoyed and respectfully addressed Fang Weiyan.

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan was overjoyed. Was the road to Pingshui City finally open?

This is great news!

According to what Fang Weiyan knew beforehand, Pingshui City was a relatively large city.

There might be some extraordinary people over there; if so, he could try to learn from them.

"Alright, then arrange for someone to go to Pingshui City tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan immediately made a decision.

Since we need to arrange for someone to go tomorrow, we need to settle some things tonight.

With that in mind, Fang Weiyan first took the statue back, and then returned to Linbei County.

"Someone come here!"

Fang Weiyan shouted loudly.

As soon as the voice faded, a group of constables emerged from the alleyway ahead; this was their night patrol.

"Grown ups!"

The yamen runners quickly approached and greeted them with clasped hands.

"Go and gather all the yamen runners. I have something to give you later."

Fang Weiyan gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the constable immediately responded and hurriedly left.

A moment later, about a hundred people were summoned to the front of the government office.

The yamen runners originally numbered only thirty, but recently the number has been expanded to one hundred.

Even with a hundred people looking at it, the sheer number of people still seemed a bit much.
