King of Hell!_2

If you have this kind of idea, anyone who has even a little knowledge of economics will probably roll their eyes at you and curse you with a vulgar word.

At this moment.

Seeing this suddenly appearing gold mountain, except for Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu, both old Dao and Yang Ying were dumbfounded.

“Ah… this… enough… it’s enough.”

Yang Ying was somewhat bewildered.

Although she was already a cultivator, and the master she followed was like an immortal figure, she was still greatly surprised when she saw so much gold.

After instructing Yang Ying.

Xuanqing looked at Elder Jingde.

This time, instead of being lethargic as usual, he decided to improve faith and incense power in the Real World.

“Elder Jingde, tell me about the current situation of the Taoist temple.”

Although he had already covered the Great Yan Kingdom with his divine thought and had some understanding of the temples, he could not know the specifics. It would be clearer for the person in charge to speak.

“Yes!

Elder Jingde slightly bowed and then began to recount, “Reporting to the palace lord, the Taoist has now covered the whole Great Yan Kingdom.”

“Taking towns as units, including some large villages, there are a total of twenty-one thousand six hundred and twenty-six Taoist temples in the country, including county and city religious associations, totaling seventy-eight thousand…”

“An average of each Taoist temple… ”

As Elder Jingde recounted, the development of the entire Great Yan Kingdom’s Taoist temple gradually appeared before Xuanqing.

After listening.

Xuanqing nodded, and then instructed:

“Elder Jingde, your next task is to cover all cities, at least at the municipal level, in the East Asia region with Taoist temples in the shortest time.”

“During this process, try to use gentle means, either with money or the life extension pills. When encountering some stubborn people, you don’t need to be polite, just deal with them as necessary.”

Upon hearing this.

Elder Jingde was somewhat surprised.

Why would the palace lord suddenly change his usual behavior and command him to expand the Taoist temple at full speed, even saying words like “deal with them as necessary”?

After thinking it over.

“Palace lord, if we proceed this way… it may cause a certain degree of chaos…”

His words were not yet finished when he was interrupted.

“Let there be chaos.”

Xuanqing waved his hand and then faintly said, “For the places outside the Great Yan Kingdom, you don’t need to worry too much, as long as there are no large-scale killings.”

In fact.

As far as Xuanqing was concerned, in the Real World, he only cared about the Great Yan Kingdom. As for places outside the Great Yan Kingdom… just like he said, as long as there was no massacre, everything else was as trivial as eating and drinking.

This moment.

Elder Jingde showed a sudden realization.

Having followed the palace lord for so long, he had never thought that he had always misunderstood him. It turned out that the palace lord only cared about the order of the Great Yan Kingdom.

“Hehe, palace lord… I understand!” Elder Jingde stroked his beard and chuckled softly.

After arranging the matters for Elder Jingde and Yang Ying.

Next.

It was Elder Qianqing’s turn.

Nowadays, the Taoist temple, or more specifically, the Taiji Hall, has always been in charge of recruiting new members. He is still the current Dean of the Taoist Academy.

“Elder Qianqing, your task is more significant.”

“Palace lord, just give your instructions. I, your subordinate, will take them.”

Elder Qianqing smiled faintly and spoke calmly.

In his opinion, being given more tasks by the palace lord showed that he was useful, so he was not afraid of having more work to do; he was just afraid of not having anything to do.

Nowadays, the academy has been bestowed with the ‘Heart-probing Road’ and ‘Refining Heart Tower’ by the palace lord. He usually has a lot of free time, and the most he’s done is handling seal issues and granting Scriptures for graduation. “That’s good.”

Xuanqing nodded and continued, “Your next task is to establish a branch in each of the twenty-one provincial-level cities in the Great Yan Kingdom.”

“Moreover, the Taoist Academy will no longer accept new students in the future.”

Upon hearing this,

Elder Qianqing was slightly startled and immediately asked, “Palace Lord, if we do not accept new students, where will we get new enrollees from?”

“That’s the reason for setting up branch schools.” Xuanqing laughed softly, then continued to explain:

“This is my plan: In addition to enrolling fresh graduates in these twenty-one branch schools, we will also establish adult classes and recruit cultivators from various Taoist temples.”

“Then, students in the main school will be selected from these branch schools based on their outstanding performance.”

With this,

Elder Qianqing suddenly understood.

Now he got it: First, establish branch schools, expand enrollment, and then upgrade the main school, admitting students based on their outstanding performance from within these branch schools.

“Palace Lord, what are the requirements for student enrollment in the branch schools? Same as the current study academy?”

“The enrollment requirements are the same, but the internal structure of the school system in the branch schools will be changed.” Xuanqing responded.

“In these branch schools, besides not offering liberal arts subjects like literature, philosophy, and archaeology, they will offer courses in physics, chemistry, and mathematics like normal universities.”

“In addition, they must complete the required Taoist courses. In short, these students have to learn both science and Taoist cultivation.”

Hearing these words,

Elder Qianqing showed hesitation and carefully asked, “Wouldn’t learning so many things result in an inability to keep up with their studies?”

“No!

“During the cultivation process, in addition to nourishing the body, the mind will also be nourished. Memory, reaction speed, comprehension… everything will be greatly enhanced, you should be very clear about this.”

Xuanqing spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing this,

Elder Qianqing nodded. Elder Jingde and Yang Ying, who were on the side, also shared the same sentiments.

Ever since they began cultivating, their entire aura had changed, and they even seemed to have transcended the realm of humanity.

Not to mention the existence of supernatural abilities like Mana. Just not needing to sleep for months, never needing to eat… having eidetic memory… or using divine thoughts to read hundreds of lines at a glance… all these abilities were already abnormal.

“Elder Qianqing, your responsibility is heavy. These children are the future of humanity, and the resources of Water Blue Star are ultimately limited. The only correct path is to focus on the vast universe.”

Xuanqing spoke solemnly.

In his plan, the real world will eventually become a world where technology and cultivation coexist.

Cultivation concentrates power to oneself, while technology distributes power evenly among the people. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and if the two are combined, the power they can unleash will no longer be as simple as one plus one equals two.

As for him,

Because the resources of Water Blue Star are limited, the number of people it can support is also limited, and naturally, the amount of incense fire generated by faith is also limited.

Imagine,

When the human population in the real world reaches too billion and they have ventured into outer space, how terrifying will the amount of incense fire generated daily be?

Tens of billions… or even hundreds of billions a day?

Of course,

That’s all in the future. At present, humans haven’t even achieved controlled nuclear fusion, let alone stepping into the vast ocean of stars.

However,

Xuanqing believes that achieving these things is not difficult. To put it simply, the technological stagnation on Water Blue Star is largely due to the limitations of material strength.

And for materials that are extremely difficult to create using technology, just simple forging and purification in the cultivation world can easily solve the problem.

With the matters regarding Yang Ying and the two old Daoists already instructed, only Cangqingyu and Huai Qingyun were left.

At this moment,

Huai Qingyun was staring eagerly at his master.

Ever since his master was able to absorb incense fire on his own, Huai Qingyun spent his days idly playing with the foolish tree spirits.

At first, he thought it was quite leisurely, but as time passed, he felt increasingly empty, and even worried every day that his master would abandon him.

“Sir, what… what can I do?” Huai Qingyun asked weakly.

“You….”

With a slight smile on the corner of his lips, Xuanqing leisurely said, “I plan to make you the Underworld King of Hell. Are you confident?”

What?!

“Underworld King of Hell?”

Huai Qingyun was dumbfounded..
