The one responsible for the review of disputes related to the Xiuzhen Courtyard is Feng Jing.
Teacher i faced with the proposal from Qingcheng, calmly asked, "You practice the Thunder Technique, can you really limit it to an area within a hundred square ters?"
The Thunder Technique has several extres. One aspect is its fastest casting, another is that it doesn’t conform to the Five Elents; one aspect is that it dispels all evil, another is that it’s hard to control; one aspect is its majestic power, another is that it’s too disruptive...
To put it simply, if you want to perform the Thunder Technique, a hundred square ters is really not enough.
However, Zhang Dongyuan confidently stated, "Our Thunder Technique can be controlled within a hundred square ters, rest assured."
But how could Teacher i be at ease? She straightforwardly asked, "It won’t affect beyond a hundred square ters?"
"Affect..." Zhang Dongyuan hesitated at this point. When it cos to the impact of the Thunder Technique, it really is hard to control, "They are supposed to be low-level Thunder Techniques, mostly based on Talismans, it should be fine."
"I’m afraid that won’t do," Feng Jing’s attitude was still good, even though he was a Great Qi Refining Cultivator, he didn’t use Luohua’s power to boss people around, "The boss set up this small courtyard to help fellow Cultivators improve a little, growing Spirit Plants is the most suitable."
In fact, Feng Jun initially designed it for Cultivators to farm and the Eighteen Paths of Tianqin can be cultivated to the peak in each path, but this small courtyard can’t withstand any disruptions. If soone wants to practice the Path of the Qin or Artifact Refining Path, how can cultivation continue here?
After all, this is just a concentration training class. Outside of cultivation, Feng Jun can provide a little Spirit Field for everyone to plant, which is already very considerate. If soone wants personal requests, that’s really too much.
In fact, it wasn’t just Zhang Dongyuan who had such needs. Chicheng Mountain Cave had recently co into contact with Luohua Manor, and they also made a request—hoping the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Fields could have so Fire Attribute, because they had an ancient mystical item, the Crimson Fla Red Lotus Seed!
The Crimson Fla Red Lotus is a Spirit Plant in the Qi Refinent Realm, which takes three years to blossom and bear seeds. The seeds and roots of the lotus contain both water and fire properties, and their effect is much stronger than Spirit Rice. Chicheng Mountain Cave was willing to offer forty percent of their harvest, just hoping Luohua could modify the environnt a bit.
Feng Jing was quite speechless with this requirent, "Really don’t want to change it, this Crimson Fla Red Lotus... the benefits aren’t particularly high. If you have Spirit Rice or Spirit Valley, it’s good enough to grow those."
Chicheng Mountain Cave regarded the Crimson Fla Red Lotus as sacred and to tell Luohua about it ant a great deal of trust, but Teacher i was well aware that she had eaten this thing more than once at White Pebble Beach.
Actually, on the Kunhao Plane, the Crimson Fla Red Lotus isn’t a common item, cultivating it isn’t easy and the cost-effectiveness is really average. However, this item is extensively grown in the Crimson Pheonix Sect—the cultivation of Crimson Pheonix female Cultivators can’t do without it.
Chicheng Mountain Cave wanted to grow this, but the difficulty isn’t average. First, there are techniques involved in planting it, and secondly... wanting Spiritual Energy with Fire Attribute that’ll affect an area larger than a hundred square ters is simply uncontrollable.
The head of Chicheng Mountain Cave saw that Luohua was not buying it, and specifically ca, revealing two seeds preserved in an old clay pot, "Friend i, we’re not falsely reporting... we really have it!"
i Jin looked at the two seeds, and after thinking a bit, directly took out two more seeds and a piece of red lotus root.
"Yours is a subspecies, mine is the real Crimson Fla Red Lotus... Since you trust Luohua so much, I’ll give you these two seeds so your sect will have real Crimson Fla Red Lotus seeds in the future. As for this piece of lotus root, it’s for you to have a taste."
The head of Chicheng Mountain Cave was stunned, gaping for a full half-minute before getting up to express thanks—a clueless person might think Luohua was slapping them in the face, but the wise wouldn’t think that way at all. Luohua doing this is truly treating people with sincerity.
Thinking about it carefully, it’s a bit spine-chilling—the Spirit Plant that Chicheng Mountain Cave longed for could actually be casually taken out in finished form by a person from Luohua. The key is that it wasn’t even Mountain Master Feng himself who took it out, just a random disciple of Luohua!
The head of Chicheng Mountain Cave felt shock as well as a hint of regret: actually, I had six seeds, why did I only take out two?
But this unexpected story spread from his mouth, and people in the Daoist Sects beca even more convinced of Luohua: this is truly a massive backer!
Chicheng Mountain Cave was willing to promote like this, and Feng Jing subsequently expressed that they would approve an additional cultivation spot for Chicheng Mountain Cave—you expose your shortcomings to help Luohua gain fa, how can Luohua treat you poorly?
After others heard about it, they naturally understood that Luohua was the type to highly value and appreciate talents, yet, they really didn’t have decent assets—Chicheng Mountain Cave’s lotus seeds were discovered in the ruins of an ancient Daoist Temple, which, after authentication, were believed to be Crimson Fla Red Lotus.
In fact, competing for these hundred and twenty spots is really not that easy. While the Xiuzhen Courtyard had been built, the list of three hundred sixty people had yet to be submitted, wherein many people had co to Luohua to lodge complaints. Each side believed they were in the right.
But Luohua’s attitude was clear, we don’t intervene, you negotiate among yourselves. Don’t co to us unless it’s sothing extraordinarily egregious.
Before long, the "Blessing Courtyard" was finally built. The courtyard had one door on Yang Yuxin’s land, and another door facing outside. For this, Yang Yuxin even built a five hundred ter road, and the end of the road was exactly the door.
The managent of this door wasn’t very strict, but it wasn’t an area for ordinary people; it would only open on the third, sixth, and ninth day of the lunar calendar.
Luohua never publicly revealed their mystical prowess, even though near Baixing Town, Luohua Manor had almost been deed a paradise on earth in the rumors. However, Luohua didn’t partake of incense offerings and remained unfazed by the notoriety.
In the past, people could still burn incense outside the mountain gate, but now the gate is enclosed by Yang Yuxin’s territory, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.
So Feng Jun proposed a surprising suggestion: each Daoist sect could introduce their followers who have specific needs,
If any other Daoist sect dared to suggest this, they would definitely be scolded: you’re trying to steal offerings.
However, Luohua’s proposal didn’t surprise anyone, as if it was a perfectly normal thing to do,
There are many Daoist sects in the world, and many have miraculous legacies, capable of helping followers solve so problems within their power.
However, if the issue truly exceeds their abilities, helping the followers find a possible solution is also a skill!
Of course, each Daoist sect also confird that Feng Jun was not interested in scrambling for offerings—many people say that Mountain Master Feng is already the richest person in the country, so why would he care about such a small amount of money?
So followers from various places were continuously introduced, and it was certain that before arriving, they were repeatedly instructed: Once you go there, you must follow their arrangents. If your heart isn’t sincere, don’t go, to prevent the Daoist temple from facing consequences with you!
The vast majority of people are sensible, but after all, so people think: We already know about this place, so from here on, not saying where we heard the information wouldn’t drag the temple’s ssenger into it, would it?
Therefore, occasionally, soone would argue at the gate: Why wait for the specific days just to burn a stick of incense?
The gatekeepers were hired by Yang Yuxin, enforcing with a strong hand, not much different from the gatekeepers at Luohua’s mountain gate, so occasionally small conflicts would occur, but they were within control.
The opening of the Blessing Courtyard happened even before the Xiuzhen Courtyard, and since there were no divine statues, everyone just burned incense on a copper burner and an incense table without a specific target, though the direction was naturally towards Luohua.
On the first day, not many ca to burn incense, only a little over ninety people, fewer than a hundred. Lin Heihu, during his break from live streaming, ca over to check it out—the key was that it was close enough that he could manage it completely.
However, the things these people wished for often puzzled him—like soone who had solid evidence of drink-driving, already facing imprisonnt, yet still wished for their child to join the army... can this even pass a proper hearing?
And another one, their husband had already been disciplined and supervised, yet they still wished for him to get a promotion?
This was really too difficult. Lin Heihu couldn’t help but secretly sigh: I’m here to help you achieve your wishes, not to challenge the rules.
In summary, his previous conclusion wasn’t wrong; the followers in Australia primarily wished for wealth, while those in Huaxia mainly wished for official positions—or at least, more were wishing for a better future.
For example, so wished to pass their postgraduate entrance exams, or the English CET-4 or CET-6, while even more wished to pass their college entrance exams.
Yet, there were also specialized wishes: a young swimr seeking to et the Olympic A standard.
For these wishers, the courtyard provided accommodations: a ten-square-ter small room, with a lodging standard of fifty yuan per night. As for other offerings, they were voluntary, donations could be placed in the rit box, with no restrictions on the amount.
So placed a hundred-yuan bill, quite a few put fifty, but there were also people who put ten or twenty... so even put one or two yuan, but those people basically burned a stick of incense and left, unwilling to spend fifty yuan on lodging.
Actually, the lodging conditions here were quite basic, a ten-square-ter room with empty space, aside from a table, chair, and bed, there was nothing but a thermos and two paper cups. als were not provided, and even the washrooms were communal.
The only thing better than the Xiuzhen Courtyard was that there was WIFI here, and each building had a service person providing things like toilet paper and toothbrushes, with lights out at half-past nine.
After the first day’s wishes were complete, nearly sixty people chose to stay overnight. It’s said that the most effective results ca from dream communication here.
Lin Heihu had no problem with dream communication, but when it ca to helping people fulfill wishes, that required careful consideration.
For those whose wishes were too excessive, Lin Heihu simply communicated in dreams: Your requests violate the rules.
For those hoping to pass exams, Lin Heihu mainly offered encouragent, saying that while wishing was fine, they had to put in the effort themselves, as without effort, what good could his help do?
Those wishes were relatively easy to satisfy, and he hardly needed to do anything. Most of the ti, whether soone could pass an exam largely depended on the examinee’s abilities, and even if they didn’t pass, they would usually conclude it was due to their own lack of effort.
However, for certain requests, Lin Heihu responded seriously, including that of the swimr.
