I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 235 Temple Keeper (46)

The Spirit Beast Growth Promoter is a product made from mulberry wood and is also the flagship product of the Wood Virtue Star Lord Temple.

It contains essential trace elements and minerals for spirit beasts, and with the blessings of the temple keeper and the divine power of the star deity, it helps to enhance the magical energy circulation system within the spirit beast's body, facilitating its healthy growth.

The price is 200 mana for a 10-kilogram bucket; cash is not accepted.

Upon learning that the spirit beast growth promoter could only be purchased with mana, Chen Yu excitedly asked, "Why can it only be purchased with mana?"

“Money is something that cultivators and mortals use. Star Lords prefer magic power, and many rituals used in sacrifices require magic power to operate. Because the Wood Virtue Star Lord is involved in this matter, the other party specifically requested that it could only be purchased using magic power.”

Seeing his current positive mood, Chen Yu immediately rushed into Luo Tong's factory manager's office.

Upon seeing Chen Yu rush in, Luo Tong, who was drinking beef and horse extract, froze for a moment, then stared at the extract in his hand and shouted excitedly, "Who! Who framed me! Who replaced my tea with beef and horse extract! Glasses, was it you?"

Glasses, who had been staying up for several nights in a row, gave Luo Tong a cold look and ignored the idiot.

Chen Yu then directly pointed out that Luo Tong hadn't slept for several days and issued a notice of dismissal and non-recruitment for seven days.

Why didn't you notify me about working overtime?
I've tolerated your habit of secretly working overtime for far too long!
I won't stop you from working overtime, but what's the meaning of not charging overtime pay?
All you do is secretly make money for me, have you ever thought about how I feel!

Luo Tong, who had been fired, sighed deeply, knowing that drinking the cow and horse extract was pointless now.

Looking at Chen Yu, he asked with a wry smile, "Fine, I admit defeat. Mr. Chen, what are your instructions for today?"

Why not buy more spirit beast growth promoters?

"Well, we'd like to buy more, but the factory is short on mana right now, and Lord Mude only accepts mana. Small amounts of mana can be exchanged, but we don't have a channel for large amounts."

"Why didn't you tell me about something so important!" Chen Yu said, exasperated. "I'll handle the magic power. How much spirit beast growth promoter can they produce over there?"

"It's about ten tons a month. Sales aren't great, but production can't stop every month, so the quantity is still enough."

"Two hundred thousand mana a month? Not bad, I'll take this deal! I'll prepay for ten months' worth of mana, so you can buy these things as soon as possible."

Luo Tong looked at Chen Yu with suspicion: "President Chen, why the sudden rush? Our Ant Group hasn't reached a significant scale yet, there's no need to have so much stockpiled on hand."

"Listen to me, you're on the right track! This is part of the plan!"

Hearing this word from Chen Yu, Luo Tong's heart fluttered.

Since it's Mr. Chen's request, then there's definitely no problem!
Therefore, Luo Tong immediately asked Gong Jin to contact Sang Mu, and the other side readily acted as a bridge to contact the temple keeper of the Wood Star Lord.

Upon learning that Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory was going to acquire all the spirit beast growth promoters, the Grand Temple Keeper was quite surprised, but still agreed to the deal, only requesting that magic power come first and materials second.

When the two million mana was actually delivered, the head priest on the other side gasped in shock.

In the lush temple, the head priest sat cross-legged under a banyan tree, looking at the extra two million mana on his phone, feeling a little unreal.

He had assumed the other party would haggle over the price, and then they would agree on a reasonable amount before settling the bill in installments.

Unexpectedly, the other party sent over their magic power without hesitation, which greatly surprised the Grand Temple Master.

What's wrong with Tianyuan now?
How did you suddenly become so rich?
After thinking for a moment, the head temple keeper called over a young temple keeper and asked, "Has something major happened in Tianyuan recently?"

The girl who was summoned had long, slender eyebrows. Although she was very pretty, she always had a poker face and seemed to have no emotions.

She was wearing a clean temple priest's robe, her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and there were still beads of sweat on her fair neck, indicating that she had just finished exercising.

Bowing to the head priest, she said earnestly, "Reporting to the head priest, nothing major has happened in Tianyuan recently. However, it seems that a rather outstanding young man has emerged in Tianyuan, named Chen Yu."

"Oh, how outstanding is he?" "He founded Tianyuan Chenguang Co., Ltd., revitalized Tianyuan Agricultural Machinery Factory with others, and created many excellent dreams. I heard that he recently obtained the qualification of trainee dream maker, and the Tianyuan Cultivator Management Committee called him the Tianyuan Star. He's very famous."

"Isn't this excellent!"

"But he's just a high school student, not even a college student."

"If a high school student is this amazing, he'll be even more outstanding in college!"

The girl thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and exclaimed in sudden realization, "I see! Thinking about it this way, it really is excellent."

"...So besides these things, what other actions have they taken?"

"I don't know much about it. I only know that some time ago, the machinery factory imported a large amount of calming grass from Sangmu and then made calming grass tea, making a fortune in Wenchang. Because they were cheap and plentiful, the Wenchang Star Lord was very grateful to them."

“This is a big deal,” sighed the Grand Temple Keeper of the Wood Star Lord. “A big deal isn’t just about a few deaths; things involving the economy also need to be summarized and presented.”

Seeing that the girl still looked confused, the head temple keeper knew he couldn't explain anything too complicated to her.

The girl in front of me is named Xu Youran. Although she is only eighteen years old, she has already graduated from university and is now the youngest temple keeper of the Wood Star Lord.

Although it seems impressive, that's only because universities like those affiliated with temple priests don't have high intellectual requirements; high moral character is enough.

Xu Youran is a typical example of someone with high ability but low performance. She can do a great job when asked to do something, but it's very difficult to inspire her to do something.

After thinking for a moment, the head temple keeper said to Xu Youran, "Tianyuan has given us such a big order, we can't just leave without showing our appreciation. It's necessary to maintain a client who costs 200,000 mana a month, and I also want to know why that Chen Yu is so powerful."

"Are you asking me to kidnap the other person and bring them back to be a temple keeper?" Xu Youran asked seriously.

"...No! Can't you think straight? It's about protecting our customers!"

"I think it would be more convenient to bring him here for maintenance."

With a sigh of relief, the head temple keeper took out a notebook and placed it in Xu Youran's hand.

This notebook was started by the head temple keeper after he found Xu Youran, and he kept recording for eighteen years.

This notebook is filled with densely packed notes of things Xu Youran can and cannot do, just like a user manual.

Pointing to the cover of the manual, the head priest said earnestly, "Do as it says, understand?"

"Yeah, I got it."

"Now, take this notebook and the gift to Tianyuan, and then work there as a resident temple keeper, and try your best to build a good relationship with Chen Yu, understand?"

"I understand. But Master, I got 40 points in the academic section. Why me and not someone else?"

"...The scores of other people who are free are even lower than yours."

"...Will our temple survive until next year?"

"Go first and we'll talk later."

That afternoon, Xu Youran packed the gifts for Chen Yu, prepared the relevant contracts, and set off.

The Wood Star Lord favored hiking, so she put on her Taoist robe, took her magic sword and provisions, took out her mobile phone, and embarked on her journey to Tianyuan.
