You know, Xuantian Temple will definitely not spend a lot of effort to build Taoist temples in deep mountains and old forests for no reason. The reason why they do this is for the specialties in a cave here. This cave was accidentally discovered by a Taoist priest from Xuantian Temple a long time ago. There is abundant spiritual energy in the cave, and many special mushrooms grow there. In addition, there is a clear spring in the cave, which is not small in size, and there is a kind of spring growing in it. The eyeless fish, a specialty of this area, is grown.
Whether they are spiritual mushrooms or eyeless fish, they are extremely delicious spiritual creatures. Not only can they be eaten, but they can also be used as medicine and used to refine elixirs. Although it is not a very good elixir, the output here is very large, with nearly a thousand kilograms produced every year, which adds up to a lot! It's worth millions of spiritual stones anyway.
Of course, a million spirit stones are nothing to Xuantian Villa, but the most important thing is that this is a steady stream of work, occurring every year, so the accumulation should not be underestimated. Therefore, in order to occupy this cave, Xuantian Villa simply built a Qingfeng Temple here, with the entrance of the cave right in the temple.
Since this place is in the mortal world, even though the cave is rich in spiritual energy, it is still not as good as Xuantian Villa. Therefore, no senior monks are willing to come here, so the place is handed over to Xuantian Temple for management. Just serve mushrooms and eyeless fish. The production quantities of these things can obviously be adjusted. As long as the people stationed here move their fingers a little, getting thousands of spirit stones every year is just like playing. You can also taste the delicious mushrooms and eyeless fish produced here from time to time. Such a risk-free and well-rewarded position would naturally be desired by low-level monks.
After learning about the situation at Qingfeng Temple, Xiaopang immediately knew that Qingfengzi, his uncle, really didn't say anything to him and was really taking care of him like an elder. Of course he was extremely grateful. However, Xiaopang is an introvert and doesn't know how to express his gratitude. He can only keep it in his heart silently and make up his mind that he will be rewarded in the future.
Since Qingfeng Temple is so good, Xiaopang is not very popular in Xuantian Temple. After all, the troubles he caused also implicated the people in the temple, causing them to encounter a lot of trouble when dealing with secular affairs. So Xiaopang didn't want to stay any longer. After asking for the direction of Qingfeng Temple, he took the jade token given by Qingfengzi and went on the road.
…
Two days later, Xiaopang finally found the small Qingfeng Temple in the deep mountains and old forests. This place is simply incomparable to Xuantian Temple, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground. In total, there were only seven or eight Taoist priests and handymen who entered the courtyard, including the front, middle and back. The entrance to the cave is in the backyard, hidden in a side room.
Xiaopang explained his intention to the host here and showed Qingfengzi's jade sign, successfully completing the delivery. However, judging from the unkind expression on the other party's face, it was obvious that he was very annoyed that Xiaopang took over his position. It was just that the rules were strict and he didn't dare to disobey them, so no matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to leave with his luggage. However, judging from the resentful look in the other party's eyes when he left, it seemed that the matter was not over yet.
Xiaopang was supported by Qingfengzi, and he was very strong, so he didn't take this guy who was born in the Seventh Heaven Realm seriously at all. After being polite on the surface, seeing that the other party was still lukewarm, Xiaopang lost interest in dealing with him and sent him away casually, and began to live his own life as a spectator.
It was the first time for Xiaopang to be the host. Everything was new and he didn’t understand anything. They had no choice but to let them prepare the food and wine, and then asked two smart and mature guys in the audience to drink. While drinking, they asked about relevant matters. The other party knew that there must be a background for Xiaopang to come here. In addition, Xiaopang was very polite and even invited them to drink, so they tried their best to flatter Xiaopang and told Xiaopang everything. So Xiaopang quickly got the details of Qingfeng Temple from the other party's mouth.
It turns out that Qingfeng Temple is really famous for its peace and quiet. As long as you keep an eye on the cave, don't let wild beasts enter and ruin things, pay attention to the growth of spirit mushrooms, and water it appropriately. Even this bit of work is done by the Taoist priests below. Xiaopang, the temple leader, has nothing to do. He is a supervisor in name, but in fact he has nothing to do. And every six months, Xuantian Temple will send special personnel to collect the mushrooms and eyeless fish produced here. Except that Xiaopang had to step in to deal with it at this time, he had nothing to do all year long.
During this banquet, the little fat boy was lucky enough to taste the specialties of this place, eyeless fish and mushrooms. After all, he is the new immediate boss, so of course the little Taoist priest below will have to curry favor with him.
Speaking of which, the eyeless fish and mushrooms taste really good. The eyeless fish is only three inches long and completely transparent. It is named because it has no eyes. When this food is eaten in the mouth, it is extremely fresh and tender, with an aura of fish aroma, which makes people have endless aftertaste. The shiitake mushroom is a white, fist-sized mushroom that is extremely tender and smooth. Eating it in your mouth is like eating tender tofu.
Both of these things are spiritual objects, containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Monks taking them are beneficial to their cultivation. If ordinary people take it, they can prolong their lives.
It's a pity that this thing is still a bit expensive. Since it is only produced locally, and only 400 kilograms of fish and 600 kilograms of mushrooms are produced every year, the ones sold outside are not cheap. Xiaopang ate thousands of spirit stones in this meal today. Even though he is the master of the temple, he can only eat the tooth ritual occasionally. It is impossible to eat it every day.
But the little fat guy is greedy? After eating it once, his greed was aroused, so he fell in love with the cave. Taking advantage of the excuse of inspection, Xiaopang entered the cave accompanied by a Taoist priest.
After a short visit, Xiaopang found that this place is really good. The cave is extremely deep, with big caves within small caves, extending in all directions. Many places are unfathomable underground rivers. Spiritual mushrooms are grown on the riverside, and eyeless fish swim in the river. . In addition, there are white aquatic plants in the river, which are said to be food for eyeless fish.
The eyeless fish were swimming freely in the water, and Little Fatty was drooling when he saw them by the river. He thought to himself, this fish is really good. It would be great if he could eat it every day. But the problem is, after all, this is the private property of the sect. If I am transferred out in the future, I will never be able to eat it again! Am I just going to have to buy fish to eat from now on
Xiaopang naturally felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this. Suddenly, something moved in his mind, and he thought of one thing. Since he could plant the Five Elements Pure Lotus into his natal magic weapon, why couldn't he also plant the eyeless fish and spiritual mushrooms? Since these two things are spiritual beings, they must like places with abundant spiritual energy. If this is the case, then there should be absolutely no problems in your own space, right? If it can succeed, hahaha, then I will be blessed in the future!
