The one who spoke wasn’t anyone else, it was the Artifact Spirit Ma Sanniang, who only jokes around with Feng Jun at her own Daoist temple.
The young Daoist nun about to ring the bell heard this and her eyes lit up, "Mountain Master Feng of the Luohua Sect?"
Currently, Feng Jun is practically a legend within the Daoist sects. In general, ordinary cultivators from the Daoist traditions rarely get to see him, and even eting other disciples of the Luohua Sect is quite difficult.
Don’t ntion the Dragon Gate Conference, even within Danxia Heaven’s own secret trials, Feng Jun doesn’t show up. It’s said that he has transcended most of the concerns that cultivators typically have.
Even when he doesn’t appear in person, during the trials, the disciples of the Luohua Sect still shine overwhelmingly, with two Great Qi Cultivators among them, and also Huaxia’s number one Innate Expert. Moreover... they aren’t lacking in Storage Bags!
Who doesn’t know the benefits of a Storage Bag? Yet no one dares to have designs on the disciples of the Luohua Sect; any sect with so reputation in the Daoist community won’t forget Kunlun’s miserable state.
This young Daoist nun has never seen Feng Jun before but knows that not only is his cultivation level exceptionally high, but he is also very handso, reputed as "Just seeing his looks makes one want to collaborate again with him"—when a bunch of female cultivators gather, their conversations are bolder than those of male cultivators.
The sky is not yet fully bright, but people can be seen clearly at close range. As the young nun catches sight of Feng Jun at a glance, she realizes this man indeed has an extraordinary handsoness.
She takes a deep breath, gathers her courage, and asks, "Um... may I ask Mountain Master Feng, is there any reason for your early visit?"
"You go ahead and ring your bell," Feng Jun casually replies, "Once your Daoist temple opens its doors, I’ll then speak with Master Guan."
The young nun clumsily rings the bell, feeling her heartbeat louder than the bell sound, considering whether she should report to the Master after ringing. Unexpectedly, a group of nuns ca flooding to the Drum Tower, pointing and murmuring about Feng Jun.
That’s how won are; individually, they’re as timid as rabbits, but when many gather together, they’re braver than drunken n, "Hey, Mountain Master Feng looks even more handso, I really want to hug him."
"Get lost, you shaless woman. Cultivators talking about hugs! Collaborating again is the true path; you clueless shaless ones..."
Finally, Master Guan heard Ma Sanniang’s voice, but since a set of punches was nearing its end, she persisted in finishing it. After completing the moves, she hurried over, witnessing her disciples buzzing around, and couldn’t help but snort coldly, "So idle ... go do your morning lessons!"
This is how one deals with another, and the young nuns hurriedly scurried off, with so secretly making a face at the Master.
Guan Shanyue ascended the Drum Tower, cupped her hands towards Feng Jun, "The disciples were unruly, please forgive the laughter, Mountain Master Feng."
"What’s there to laugh at?" Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, answering casually, "Cultivation is already tough, relaxing occasionally isn’t a big deal... Master Guan, don’t you need to do morning lessons?"
Guan Shanyue directly answered, "I was about to start, but since you’re here, naturally it’s not needed... Morning lessons can be done every day, you are a rare visitor."
"Go ahead with your morning lessons," Feng Jun raised a hand, smiling while pointing to the Daoist temple door, "The ti hasn’t co, how can you open the door?"
"I’ll exit through the side door," Guan Shanyue flipped her hand, quickly descending from the Drum Tower.
It’s not that she doesn’t respect her master identity; indeed, the sky hasn’t fully brightened, and the temple hosts mostly female cultivators, making it inappropriate to invite Feng Jun inside.
Exiting through the side door, Master Guan approached the main gate, not beating around the bush, directly asking, "Mountain Master Feng, arriving so early, is there any pressing matter?"
"There are indeed so matters to discuss, but it’s hard to explain in a few words," Feng Jun glanced around, pointing at so newly built structures nearby, "Are those outbuildings or guest villas?"
"That’s Danxia Heaven’s Outer Court and the Ten Directions Platform," Danxia Heaven has done well in recent years, earning considerable wealth, not only from devotees’ patronage but also from the inco from secret trials.
The outer court must be established; Danxia Heaven focuses on female cultivators, and the head must be female as well, but in terms of disciple protection strength, female cultivators are slightly weaker than male cultivators.
Male disciples can only reside in the outer court, while female cultivators who are not very strong are accommodated in the female court within the outer court.
In addition to the outer court, Danxia Heaven built the Ten Directions Platform as a place for roaming Daoist friends to reside.
Feng Jun nodded, and praised, "The Ten Directions Platform... Master Guan indeed has a grand vision, the revival of Danxia Heaven is right around the corner."
"Oh, it’s mainly because finances have beco more relaxed recently, not really related to grand visions," Guan Shanyue dismissed with a laugh, "Previously, it was mainly poverty; wanting to build the Ten Directions Platform was impossible. Now, after finally earning so, quickly setting the groundwork."
Feng Jun raised his eyebrows, "If believers wish to reside, is there no place on the mountain?"
"Believers residing... under normal circumstances, they can stay at the Ten Directions Platform," Guan Shanyue explained.
Her outer garden and Ten Directions Platform were both constructed quite large. The outer garden is divided into Qian Courtyard and Kun Courtyard, each with six two-story buildings, totaling over a hundred rooms, enough to accommodate any Daoist friends who visit.
The Ten Directions Platform isn’t small either, with ten two-story buildings and over two hundred rooms, capable of hosting more than four hundred people in urgent situations, complete with parking lots prepared for holding large events.
Although there are many rooms, they are simple two-story buildings with relatively sparse interiors. Cultivators don’t pursue external objects, and since the land was free, construction was quick and didn’t cost much.
However, so artificial hills and corridor pillars are ticulously crafted, indicating so expenditure.
This design scale is indeed a bit grand; Danxia Heaven currently has less than fifty entry-level disciples, most of whom are still newcors, with only about twenty able to fight directly. The rest need careful nurturing.
As for recruiting more newcors, more will certainly be recruited, but at a certain point, it must slow down. Guan Shanyue has laid the foundation for at least ten years of future growth.
Even Guan, the Master, knows the scale is sowhat excessive. There are so people in the outer garden, but the Ten Directions Platform is essentially empty, so she explained that currently, believers can temporarily reside there.
In fact, even if Danxia Heaven hosts large events, the estimated number of visiting Daoist friends may not reach four hundred, but Guan Shanyue stated that the secret realm trials held every two years would indeed fill the Ten Directions Platform.
The local governnt supports the expansion of Danxia Heaven, and they have heard about so incredible trials, though they don’t know the exact nature. They’ve seen the gathering of Daoist sects at Magu Mountain.
Thus, when Guan Shanyue constructed the separate courtyard and Ten Directions Platform, the local governnt provided support and even began building a high-end hotel in the county, hoping the prosperity of Magu Mountain would boost tourism.
Now Guan Shanyue holds considerable influence locally, not just due to her cancer treatnt recomndations and Three-Life Wine, but also because the governnt hopes she will lead and drive local tourism.
A Daoist temple being a tourism leader? It sounds far-fetched, but this is indeed the local thought — having the ability to gather sects nationwide, it’s quite normal to be the leader, right?
Guan Shanyue even regretfully noted, "So they only gave two years; after that, the Ten Directions Platform can’t host believers in principle... believers need to stay in the county or city to stimulate local economy."
This idea makes sense. Believers occupying the mountain at night, how much consumption can there be? It’s impossible to open a bar on the mountain, or even a restaurant — a renowned Daoist mountain mustn’t be sullied by worldly matters.
However, Guan Shanyue is bemused — her construction of the outer garden and Ten Directions Platform was already aggressive, yet the local governnt is even more confident. Where can she argue this?
As the three chatted, a Daoist nun approached, suggesting that breakfast was ready; should they go in and eat?
Feng Jun waved a hand, "Master Guan can eat. It doesn’t matter whether I eat or not for a year or six months, and Xiao Ning isn’t hungry."
Joking aside, the main gate of Danxia Heaven hasn’t opened yet — it’s not a matter of hunger, is it?
Guan Shanyue understood what he was apprehensive about, so she instructed the Daoist nun to bring her a bowl of porridge and two vegetable buns.
Feng Jun set out a table and chairs and finally spoke, "This Ten Directions Platform, feeling like it won’t serve much purpose within half a year?"
Guan Shanyue hesitated for a mont, then straightforwardly stated, "If you, Mountain Master Feng, intend to use it, just take it; don’t worry about costs. The bond between our houses isn’t centered around this."
However, Feng Jun chuckled, "Have you heard about the town of Amstan in Australia? The Daoist temple there is quite supernatural."
"I know, the temple master is renowned for being the most beautiful," Guan Shanyue is indeed quite modern. Though she knew it is Luohua’s overseas division — Danxia Heaven even has soone who visited, "What’s Sofia’s relation to you?"
"Could you not gossip like that?" Feng Jun furrowed his brow in displeasure, then spoke seriously, "Her ability to fulfill any request... Is Danxia Heaven interested in sothing like that?"
Guan Shanyue froze upon hearing this, only asking ten seconds later, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I am serious," Feng Jun replied casually, "However, the duration won’t be long. I’m just doing a rehearsal."
A flower basket silently appeared on the table, and a little girl’s head erged from the basket, "Why call it a rehearsal? If it’s not for long, how long is it?"
Mama San had been following the news from Australia. She didn’t quite understand why Feng Jun expended such effort in a foreign land, but she could confirm the miraculous events in Australia were definitely related to Feng Jun — that foreign woman couldn’t achieve such feats.
Now, upon hearing Feng Jun plans to do these at Magu Mountain, she’s ready to agree directly — if a foreign Daoist temple can beco famous, there’s no reason Danxia Heaven can’t.
Yet, she ultimately decides to first understand the situation.
