Chapter 110 Borrowing chickens to lay eggs
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly asked, "What good ideas do you have, fellow Taoist?"

Gu Yunli said, "I have heard from you fellow Taoists that the reason why the Enlightenment Jade Slip is difficult to refine is that the spells involved are relatively unfamiliar and it takes time to become familiar with them. Is that right?"

Everyone nodded:

"Yes, that's exactly the truth."

Gu Yunli smiled slightly:
"In that case, why don't we divide the group into groups according to the level of the equipment refiners, and each group will be responsible for a different grade of talismans. This way, we can make the best use of everyone's talents, shorten the time to familiarize ourselves with the talismans, and greatly improve the efficiency of equipment refinement."

What Gu Yunli said was exactly assembly line operation.

This production method may seem insignificant, but in fact it can be regarded as a major innovation in production methods.

If it can be popularized, it may be a new revolution.

Of course, everyone was not aware of this at the moment. They just felt that this method was a bit unconventional and immediately started discussing:
"The talismans engraved by each person are of different sizes. It doesn't seem feasible for us to work together to refine them, right?"

"This problem is not difficult. We just need to unify the size. But if we do this, wouldn't it go against our original intention and make it difficult to practice the refining skills?"

"Yes, if the master knew about this kind of opportunism, he would definitely scold us to death!"

Everyone was talking at once, excited but also a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Gu Yunli smiled and said:
"Practicing skills must also follow a gradual progression, otherwise why would Dean Ji let us start from the basics? The reason why fellow Taoists fail repeatedly is that your foundation is not solid enough. In this case, instead of constantly challenging high-difficulty curses, it is better to practice basic skills honestly. If we divide into groups to refine weapons, we can choose the difficulty that suits us. This is the best of both worlds. Why not do it?"

After Gu Yunli said this, everyone suddenly felt that there was some truth in it.

"Friend Ye is right!"

"Do you want to tell the master?"

"Master is refining a top-grade jade slip, I'm afraid he doesn't have time."

"How about we give it a try first? If it doesn't work, we can just change it."

Seeing that everyone was already excited, Gu Yunli simply added the last straw:
"My fellow Taoists, please rest assured to refine it. If the dean blames you, I will take the responsibility alone."

Now everyone had no reason to object and immediately began to discuss cooperation matters with great interest.

After some discussion, they tried to refine it.

At first, probably because it was the first time they worked together, the refining process did not go very smoothly.

It wasn’t that the spell specifications were wrong;

Even if someone subconsciously refines the next step, various mistakes will occur frequently.

Fortunately, after all, everyone was taught by the same master, and the skills came from the same source. They quickly adapted to each other's pace, and the yield rate increased accordingly.

This greatly boosted everyone's confidence and they no longer had any doubts about this method.

For a moment, everyone was full of energy.

Gu Yunli also joined in, starting with the most basic rubbing spell, and won everyone's respect with his 100% yield rate.

Time flows like water.

A month later, Gu Yunli's proficiency in the three weapon-refining techniques had made great progress.

After refining the mid-grade enlightenment jade slip, the yield rate can reach 90%.

It seems that with another half a month of refinement at most, the yield rate of mid-grade jade slips will be able to reach 100%.

However, now is not the time to hone his refining skills, because Ji Zhixian suddenly informed him that the first batch of goods had been received.

It's time to launch the plan!

He made up an excuse to say goodbye to everyone, and then found Ji Zhixian to collect the goods. Then he left Lao Lu Temple and went straight to the Kyoto City God Palace.

While still on the way, he sent a message to King Ling Gongye of Kyoto to avoid being disappointed.

Kyoto City God Palace is located in the center of Jambu Continent, quite far away from Lao Lu Temple.

Fortunately, Gu Yunli had the Three Su Yuan Clouds with him, and with his Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivation, he arrived there in just two hours.

The Kyoto City God Palace is as big as a city.

As soon as he landed on the ground, the mountain-like palace gate opened with a bang, and countless immortal soldiers and generals came out in a line, holding millstones, flags, halberds and whips, looking very majestic!

"The arrival of the True Lord is truly an honor to our humble home!"

A loud laugh came from the City God Palace. Following the sound, he saw the King of Kyoto, Gong Yeshu, stepping on auspicious clouds and walking like a dragon or a tiger. In just a moment, he came close to Gu Yunli and bowed enthusiastically, saying:

"Gu Zhenzai, it's been a long time since we last met!"

"Yes, we haven't met since we parted at Beidu Palace. I'm sorry for disturbing you today!"

"What are you talking about? Gu Zhenzai, please!"

Facing Gu Yunli who came to visit him for the first time, Gongye Shu was very humble. Where was the arrogance of a third-rank immortal official?
However, the reason why he could lower his posture like this, in the final analysis, was because Gu Yunli was worthy!

Since the Internet brought online temples, the income from incense offerings to the land and city gods has skyrocketed.

How could this make him unhappy?
This scene was seen by the ghost messengers of Kyoto City God Palace, and they were amazed in their hearts.

I have heard of Gu Zhenzai's reputation for a long time, and now that I have seen him in person, I realize that his reputation is well-deserved!

Although he is only an eighth-rank immortal official, he can chat and laugh with those of the third rank. Such power is simply astonishing.

……

In fact, Gu Yunli, who entered the Kyoto City God Palace, also enjoyed VIP treatment.

Fairy wine, delicacies, beautiful songs and wonderful dances.

All kinds of flattery are heard everywhere.

Gu Yunli remained calm about this. After a round of greetings, Gong Yeshu lost his temper and asked tentatively, "Gu Zhenzai is very busy, how did you find time to visit my humble home today?"

Gu Yunli said nothing, his eyes swept over the immortal officials who were entertaining guests in the hall.

Gongye Shu's heart moved and he waved his hand. Upon seeing this, all the immortal officials bowed and took their leave.

Gu Yunli then took out a low-grade enlightenment jade slip and handed it to Gongye Shu, saying:

"What do you think of this jade slip, fellow Daoist?"

Gongye Shu reached out to take it, and after a careful inspection, his eyes became more and more confused.

"If I am not mistaken, the talisman engraved on this jade slip is the Qiangwen Mantra, which is often used to teach and accept disciples. I wonder what the purpose of engraving it in the jade slip is?"

Gu Yunli smiled and said, "What do you think if we engrave enlightenment books like the Three Character Classic or even instructions for using the Internet on this jade slip and pass it on to the people?"

Gongye Shu's eyes flickered. "Gu Zhenzai wants to borrow the City God's hand to spread the Internet and teach the people to read and write?"

"Exactly!"

Gu Yunli nodded, and then began to talk:

"Just imagine that when ordinary people burn incense and worship and touch the statue of the deity, they will be enlightened and master the ability to read and write. Then, with the help of the Internet, there will be no need to worry about the lack of worshippers at the City God's Palace."

"Wonderful!"

Gongye Shu's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "How many jade slips do you have?"

"Not many, only a few thousand."

"This is not enough for my City God lineage!"

"The City God family owns a lot of land, which is probably worth millions. Even if I spend all my wealth, I still can't afford it!"

When Gongye Shu heard this, he suddenly understood.

It turns out that Gu Yunli wanted to borrow the financial resources of the City God Palace to purchase jade slips to spread the Internet for him!
It is true that no one comes to the temple for no reason!
Gong Yeshu cursed in his heart, but asked seriously, "May I ask Gu Zhenzai, how much is this jade slip worth, and how long can it be used?"

Although Gu Zhenzai looked dishonest, borrowing people and money;

But the City God Palace is not without benefits.

Just imagine, if burning incense and praying could give one the ability to read and write, I'm afraid people all over the world would flock to it.

By then, the City God Palace will be so popular that even the internet would be ashamed!

"This jade slip is called the Enlightenment Jade Slip. There are three types, high, medium, and low, each with its own advantages and disadvantages..."

While Gongye Shu was daydreaming, Gu Yunli also introduced the Enlightenment Jade Slips.

After the introduction, Gongye Shu counted with his fingers and his expression suddenly turned dark.
