You know, Xuantian Temple would not spend a lot of effort to build a Taoist temple in the deep mountains and old forests for no reason. The reason they did this was for the special products in a cave here. This cave was accidentally discovered by a Taoist priest of Xuantian Temple a long time ago. The cave is full of spiritual energy and many special spiritual mushrooms grow. In addition, there is a clear spring in the cave, which is quite large, and a kind of eyeless fish that is a local specialty grows in it.
Whether it is the spirit mushroom or the eyeless fish, they are all extremely delicious spirit objects. Not only can they be eaten, but they can also be used as medicine to refine spirit pills. Although they are not very good spirit medicines, the output here is very large, with nearly a thousand kilograms of production every year. This is incredible when added up! It is worth millions of spirit stones.
Of course, a million spirit stones were nothing to Xuantian Villa, but the most important thing was that this was a long-term job, and it was accumulated every year, so it was not to be underestimated. Therefore, in order to occupy this cave, Xuantian Villa simply built a Qingfeng Temple here, and the entrance to the cave was in the temple.
Since this place is the mortal world, even if the spiritual energy in the cave is quite rich, it is not as good as Xuantian Villa, so no high-level cultivators are willing to come here, so this place is handed over to Xuantian Temple for management, as long as they deliver the spiritual mushrooms and eyeless fish every year. And the production quantity of these things can obviously be adjusted. As long as the people stationed here move their fingers a little, it is as easy as playing to get tens of thousands of spiritual stones every year. And you can also taste the delicious spiritual mushrooms and eyeless fish produced here from time to time. Such a position with no risk and good rewards is naturally what low-level cultivators want.
After learning about the situation at Qingfeng Temple, Xiaopang immediately knew that Master Qingfengzi was indeed very kind to him and was really taking care of him as an elder. He was of course very grateful. However, Xiaopang was an introvert and didn't know how to express this gratitude. He could only keep it in mind and made up his mind to repay him in the future.
Since Qingfeng Temple is so good, Xiaopang is not very popular in Xuantian Temple. After all, the trouble he caused also implicated the people in the temple, causing them to encounter a lot of trouble when dealing with secular affairs. So Xiaopang was unwilling to stay any longer. After asking for the direction of Qingfeng Temple, he took the jade token given by Qingfengzi and set off.
Two days later, Xiaopang finally found the small Qingfeng Temple in the deep mountains and old forests. There was no comparison between this place and Xuantian Temple. One was in heaven and the other was in hell. There were only three courtyards in total, front, middle, and back, and there were only seven or eight Taoist priests and servants in total. The entrance to the cave was in the backyard, hidden in a wing room.
Xiaopang explained his purpose to the host and showed Qingfengzi's jade token, and the transaction was completed smoothly. However, judging from the host's unfriendly expression, he was obviously very annoyed that Xiaopang took his place. However, the rules of the sect were strict and he dared not disobey them, so no matter how angry he was, he could only leave with his luggage helplessly. However, judging from the resentful look in the host's eyes when he left, it seemed that this matter was not over yet.
Xiaopang had the support of Qingfengzi and was very strong, so he didn't take this guy at the seventh level of the innate realm seriously. He was polite on the surface, but 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 temple master.
It was Xiaopang's first time as the temple master, and everything was new to him. He didn't know anything. He had to ask them to prepare wine and food, and then he found two smart and mature guys in the temple to drink, and asked about relevant matters while drinking. The other party knew that Xiaopang must have a backer to come here, and Xiaopang was polite and invited them to drink, so they tried their best to curry favor with Xiaopang and told him everything. So Xiaopang quickly got the details of Qingfeng Temple from them.
It turns out that Qingfeng Temple is really famous for its leisure. All you have to do is to watch the cave, prevent wild animals from entering and destroying the things, pay attention to the growth of the mushrooms, and water them appropriately. Even this little work is done by the Taoist priests below. Xiaopang, the temple master, has nothing to do. In name, he is in charge, but in reality, he is idle. Every six months, Xuantian Temple will send someone to collect the mushrooms and eyeless fish produced here. Except for this time when Xiaopang has to deal with it, he has nothing to do all year round.
At this banquet, the little fat boy had the honor of tasting the local specialties, the eyeless fish and the spirit mushroom. After all, he was the new boss, so the little Taoist priests had to curry favor with him.
The eyeless fish and the ling mushroom tasted really good. The eyeless fish was only three inches long and transparent, and got its name because it had no eyes. It was very tender and had a fishy aroma that made people linger. The ling mushroom was a white fist-sized mushroom that was very tender and smooth, and tasted like tender tofu.
These two things are spiritual objects, containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If a cultivator takes them, it will be beneficial to his cultivation. If ordinary people take them, they can prolong their lifespan.
It's a pity that this thing is still a bit expensive. Since it is only produced locally, and the annual amount is only 400 kilograms of fish and 600 kilograms of mushrooms, it is not cheap outside. Xiaopang ate several thousand spirit stones for this meal today. Even as the master of the temple, he can only eat it occasionally, and it is impossible to eat it every day.
But Xiaopang was greedy. After eating it once, his appetite was aroused, so he became interested in the cave. Under the pretext of inspection, Xiaopang entered the cave accompanied by a Taoist priest.
After a brief visit, Xiaopang found that this place was really nice. The cave was extremely deep, with large caves inside small caves, and many places were unfathomable underground rivers. Ling mushrooms were produced by the river, and eyeless fish swam in the river. In addition, there were white water plants in the river, which were said to be the food of the eyeless fish.
The eyeless fish swam freely in the water, and Xiaopang was drooling as he watched. He thought, this fish is really good, it would be great if I could eat it every day, but the problem is, this is the private property of the sect after all, if I am transferred out in the future, I will never be able to eat it again! Will I only be able to buy fish to eat in the future?
When Xiaopang thought of this, he naturally felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he had an idea. Since he could plant the Five Elements Pure Lotus in his own life treasure, why couldn't he plant the eyeless fish and the spirit mushroom as well? Since these two things are spiritual creatures, they must like places with abundant spiritual energy. If this is the case, then there should be absolutely no problem in his space, right? If he can succeed, hahahaha, then he will have a good time in the future!
