Chapter 113 Price surges
The appearance of gods and spirits is a great weapon to compete for incense! In the past, people only showed their spirits every now and then.

Now, the City God Temple's actions seemed to be destroying its reputation, which made the gods anxious. Especially the god of fame, wealth and honor, Wenquxing, who was struck by lightning.

Not only was his incense taken away, but his fame, wealth, and power were also in jeopardy!
Now everyone in the world knows that the City God Temple can open up wisdom and intelligence, but your Wenqu Temple does not have this ability. What do the people think? They will only think that you, Wenquxing, are just a figurehead and have nothing to show for it.

Wenquxing was so angry that he was furious!

He hurriedly went to Prime Minister Taixuan's residence.

"Prime Minister Tianshu, you have to make the decision for me. The action of King Ling of Kyoto is already a disregard for the rules of the Immortal Court. This is an attempt to usurp power. This is, this is a rebellion!"

In the quiet study, Wenquxing cried out his injustice loudly.

He was so angry that he was incoherent.

Nowadays, looking at the scholars all over the world, how many still worship him, the Star of Literature?
They all went to worship the City God.

If this continues, he, the god in charge of fame, wealth and power, will probably be in name only.

"Star Lord, be careful with your words. The actions of the Spirit King of Kyoto are unprecedented. Whether it violates the rules of the Immortal Court is not up to you, Star Lord, or me. This matter needs to be carefully considered."

Prime Minister Tianshu had a meaningful look on his face.

Wenquxing is a third-rank immortal official with a high position. Because he is in charge of fame, wealth and power, he is very popular among the people.

But compared to the Spirit King of Kyoto, he is still far inferior.

King Ling of Kyoto is a bona fide feudal prince, and in terms of power he is a quasi-second-rank official.

How could he possibly punish the Spirit King of Kyoto for this?

In fact, it was good enough that he could use this incident to slightly suppress the Earth Official lineage.

"What do you mean by photogenic?"

Wenquxing's expression froze when he saw this, and he asked tentatively.

"The King of the Capital Spirit is under the jurisdiction of the Earth Official. The Star Lord may ask the Three Officials for something."

There seems to be a deep meaning in the appearance of Tianshu.

When Wenquxing heard this, something moved him. Since it was under the jurisdiction of the Earth Official, why bother mentioning the Three Officials?

Is this a hint for him to look for... the Water Officer?
"Thank you for your advice, Prime Minister!"

Wenquxing was overjoyed and vaguely realized something.

……

At the same time, Water Official Jin Ling Changle Palace.

Emperor Dongyin opened his eyes and looked at the jade scepter in his hand. He sighed for a while and said, "I still underestimated Gu Yunli!"

The Dharmakaya said, "Since this boy was able to create the Internet, he must have some quick wits. However, this move has both advantages and disadvantages. Our contract section was originally limited by the illiteracy of the people. Now that he has gained wisdom and intelligence, it will be of great benefit to my Shuijing."

"That being said, the fact that the people only recognize the City God Temple right now is not a good thing for us."

"Then follow up on this matter and show your spirit."

"Emperor Qingxu has come prepared! The annual output of the major weapon-refining sects in the Southern Continent is almost entirely ordered by the Spirit King of Kyoto, and the weapon refiners in the Immortal Court are occupied by the major departments. The number of weapon refiners that I can mobilize is very limited. I am afraid that this round of competition will be difficult!"

At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere in the Zen room suddenly became dull.

Suddenly, an usher hurriedly came out of the hall.

"Your Highness, Emperor Dongyin, the Star Lord Wenqu is here to pay his respects to you!"

"Wenquxingjun?"

"Great! The pillow appears just when I am dozing off. Now I can use this Wenquxing to put pressure on Emperor Qingxu!"

……

Shuntian Prefecture, Pu'an Temple.

After hastily receiving the envoy from the Immortal Court, Master Pu'an of the Temple immediately convened a meeting of senior officials.

"My fellow brothers, do you still have the Enlightenment Jade Slip in your hands? The official messenger is urging us. If we can't produce the Enlightenment Jade Slip, I'm afraid our ancestor will be unhappy!" The master of Pu'an Temple urged anxiously.

"Master, it's not that we don't want to take it. This is an order from the King of the Spirits in Kyoto. The land protectors of the temple have been keeping an eye on it. If we can't deliver it, I'm afraid we won't have peace in the future."

Several fellow disciples in the hall looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

The industrial officials are our ancestors and we cannot afford to offend them.

But we can't afford to offend the Spirit King of Kyoto!

"What should I do?"

"Master, maybe you can embezzle some of Fang Jianxian's orders. At worst, you can pay compensation to Taizhen Tianxiang for breach of contract."

"This..." Master Pu'an hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said, "This is the only way at the moment!"

"Master, is there something else strange about this matter?"

"How to say?"

"Tell me, could Fang Jianxian be related to the King of Kyoto? Otherwise, where would there be so many enlightenment jade slips in the City God Temple?"

"My junior brother's guess is not unreasonable. However, the official messenger is pressing us now. Regardless of whether he has any relationship with the King of Kyoto, he must use the money! As for breach of contract, he will have to pay him."

The abbot of Pu'an Temple has been forced into a corner. As the current matter involves a dispute over incense, there is no time to delay.

In fact, at this moment, it is not just Pu'an Temple that is misappropriating Fang Jianxian's orders?
I don't know how many palace guards took advantage of the situation and embezzled Fang Jianxian's orders to satisfy the immortals behind the scenes.

In fact, for the immortals in the fairy court, it is not necessary to use the enlightenment jade slips to show their visions.

Curing diseases and saving lives is also a kind of miracle!
In fact, in order to compete with the City God Temple, legends of gods appearing in various temples also began to spread.

However, even so, the Enlightenment Jade Slips are still in short supply.

There is no other reason.

In addition to opening up wisdom and increasing intelligence, the most important thing about the Enlightenment Jade Slip is that it can provide believers with instructions on how to use the Internet.

This is too damaging to the water mirror.

So much so that Emperor Dongyin had to follow up and mobilize all his strength to purchase the Enlightenment Jade Slip!

In the Immortal Court, there are many people who want to please Emperor Dongyin. As the tasks are distributed layer by layer, the major palaces and temples are naturally in trouble.

The price of the Enlightenment Jade Slip also rose rapidly!
You know, those who can refine enlightenment jade slips are not only the major palaces and temples, but also many independent cultivators in the folk who are able to refine them.

If he couldn’t refine mid-to-high-grade jade slips, could he still refine low-grade jade slips?

For a time, the status of weapon refiners rose rapidly.

This made the disciples of Lingbao Taoist Temple very happy.

Thanks to Gu Yunli's assembly line operation, Lingbao Taoist Temple's refining efficiency has been greatly improved, and there is even a lot of surplus after completing the orders.

As long as the word got out, countless people would come to buy it, and he made a lot of money.

While they were extremely excited, they didn't know that this weapon-refining carnival was actually started by Gu Yunli.

"Fellow Daoist Gu really has a keen eye. My dear friend has sent me news that the various palaces and temples have already misappropriated a large number of jade slips. Our orders will certainly not be delivered in time. When the time comes, we can come to collect them. However, I'm afraid that Gu Zhenzai will have to go with us by then."

In the small courtyard at the head of the academy, Ji Zhixian reported.

The look he gave Gu Yunli was already filled with admiration.

No wonder he is only at the stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, but he can enjoy the great blessings of the Internet. Such ability is really convincing!
"Why?" Gu Yunli asked in surprise.

"The Enlightenment Jade Slip is now involved in a dispute over incense offerings. The major palaces and temples have the support of immortals and gods. Even if they violate the contract, they may cause trouble. With Fellow Daoist Fang's ability, I'm afraid he can't suppress it. Only if Fellow Daoist comes forward can they be subdued."

Ji Zhixian prepared for a rainy day.

Now that the matter has gotten out of hand, he doesn't believe that these weapon-refining sects will honestly compensate Taizhen Tianxiang.
