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

Chapter 638 I will definitely avenge this! (16)

While Chen Yu was happy, things were rather dire in Wangsheng Prefecture.

The third batch of manifestations were sent to the Land of Rebirth, carrying new cannonballs to the territories of other Buddhist star deities, where they spread and polluted their wisdom.

Although Cao Zhen no longer participated, the ideas he brought still exist.

One by one, Buddhist-like deities are being gender-bent, and the idea of ​​opposing Buddhism is spreading.

This kind of thinking is like a virus to Buddhist cultivators. There are no problems at first, but over time it will seep into their bones and cause the corresponding star lord's [wisdom] characteristic to deviate.

Letters of accusation were delivered to the temple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ji Quan, who was brought in to handle these letters, opened the envelopes, frowned as he looked at them, and found that the people's insults were truly filthy.

Handling complaints is the job of these trainee temple keepers. After receiving a letter of accountability, they need to transcribe the contents of the letter, provide their proposed solution, and then send it to the official temple keepers for review.

This job wasn't too tiring before, but since they started selling appearances, their workload has increased sevenfold, and they're so busy every day that they don't even have time to play Dreamland.

Staring at the contents of a new email, Ji Quan hesitated for a moment, then said to his roommate, "What do we do about all the swearing?"

"Use 'slightly' instead," my roommate replied without looking up.

"Okay, this letter will be omitted, this one will be omitted, this one will be omitted, this one will also be omitted... These Buddhist monks are quite skilled at cursing, they must be at the seventh level of eloquence."

"I met someone here with an eighth-level certificate; their writing is truly outstanding," my roommate exclaimed sincerely.

After finally finishing organizing the previous contents, Ji Quan was just about to take a break when he saw a trainee temple keeper walk in, slam the golden bowl on the ground, and a mountain of letters immediately appeared.

Looking at the letters that seemed to grow out of thin air like bamboo, Ji Quan couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it!"

"Be careful what you say," my roommate said calmly.

"But when will we finish this?! I haven't even read the new update of 'This Incredible World' yet. I heard that a new Star Lord will appear in the 'Eighteen Levels of Hell Series' this time, and I can't wait to conquer them."

"You didn't finish playing before."

"There's no way around it, the difficulty is too high, and the reaction speed required later on is too fast. I'm going to farm more items."

The two chatted idly while dealing with various letters, and gradually became a little lax.

They ignored anything that contained even a hint of profanity, since their opinions were all pretty much the same anyway.

In the letter, they denounced the temple keepers of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for disregarding Buddhist sentiments and arbitrarily selling off the outward manifestations of the Daoist lineage, calling them rotten, festering sores, and treacherous Buddhist thieves.

It's not too late to pull back from the brink. If you continue like this, you will surely face retribution.

If you don't want retribution, give me half of the profits! Then we'll pretend nothing happened.

Upon seeing these letters, Ji Quan felt that these guys were just dreaming.

The market in Wangshengzhou is like a treasure trove, reserved for the virtuous.

You usually don't speak up when you exploit ghost cultivators and oppress them with inferior agreements, but you think it's right to bully the temple keeper of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Now that you're being bullied, why are you making a fuss?

You don't know the pain until you're whipped, and you don't know how bad it is until your wages are deducted, right?

Yawning, Ji Quan had just finished processing a new batch of emails and was about to rest when he saw that another batch of emails had arrived.

"...Damn it, is this never going to end?!"

"What do you mean it's never-ending?"

Upon hearing the voice, Ji Quan immediately turned around, bowed, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Temple Keeper."

The temple keeper, Chang Youxuan, walked over with a smile, casually picked up a letter of accusation, glanced at it, and said, "This letter is from Garan City?"

“Yes,” Ji Quan nodded and said, “The other party is demanding that we stop selling ‘This Incredible World,’ apologize, and compensate for the losses.”

"That's utter nonsense. It's our freedom to sell what we want, and it's their problem if they can't maintain their own characteristics. Let them talk to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva about it. After that, we don't need to care about these things anymore, just burn them for warmth."

"Yes, Chief Temple Keeper." "Keep up the good work, there's an extra bonus this month."

"Thank you very much, Head Temple Keeper!"

After bowing to see the temple keeper off, Ji Quan stood up and said to his roommate, "The temple keeper seems to be in a good mood."

“They must be in a good mood now that they’ve made money,” my roommate said confidently. “I heard they made about 40 million this time, and their income is still rising. They can have a prosperous New Year this year.”

"That's really good news."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is so magnanimous that he has no means of making money, making him an outlier among Buddhist deities.

Moreover, He possesses the characteristic of being charitable. Temple keepers in temples have a practice of constantly doing good deeds and donating money, so sometimes being a temple keeper not only doesn't earn money, but also has to put money into it.

Now, thanks to his relationship with Chen Yu, the temple keeper has finally earned real money and is in a state of ecstasy.

The temple is making money, and the temple keepers are also getting extra income. Even the trainee temple keepers can get a considerable year-end bonus, which makes them feel even more motivated.

After a moment of reflection, Ji Quan took out a steamed bun, his roommate took out a sweet potato, and the trainee temple keeper at the door brought over tinder and potatoes. Everyone carried the letter of accusation to the yard and set it on fire. Then they started roasting steamed bun slices, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

Someone brought rice wine, set up a small stove, and heated it, filling the courtyard with an intoxicating sweet aroma.

As he drank and drifted into a dream, Ji Quan felt completely free of worries.

No complaints need to be dealt with, bonuses are expected, good friends are around, and the drinks are good too.

With the Daoist heart bound together, the path of cultivation finally became unobstructed, and a long-lost tranquility emerged in the heart, giving one a long-lost sense of serenity.

Raising his glass, he looked at the misty sky and toasted Chen in the distance.

"Respectfully, Mr. Chen."

As they drank and chatted, "This Incredible World" continued to spread.

Various regions have begun to explicitly prohibit the continued circulation of this dream, but they cannot overcome the fact that the dream is of too high quality and possesses Buddhist-like ideas, giving it a special bonus effect on Buddhists.

Taoist cultivators might find it fun, but Buddhist cultivators might be unknowingly drawn in by its content and eventually corrupted.

Many merchants completely ignored the temple's ban and began to continuously purchase and resell the drugs through various channels, making it impossible for the temple to defend itself.

When they realized that the situation had begun to deteriorate, the temple keepers of the star lords, who possessed wisdom, gathered together and began to discuss how to solve the problem.

After all the representatives of the Star Lords had gathered, the temple keeper of Bodhi Star Lord pointed to the dreamscape floating in the air and sighed, "The situation is not good. Now, 'This Incredible World' has appeared in multiple cities. If we don't do something soon, it will be troublesome."

"That anonymous person is despicable! Where did he get so many dangerous ideas from!"

"Yes, the other side has almost integrated all the ideas of the enemies of Buddhism; it's practically poison!"

"We have a traitor among us!"

"Find that guy and kill him!"

"Cao Zhen, speak up! You are the representative of the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit. What does the Bodhisattva say? How should we kill that traitor?"

Silently watching the others, Cao Zhen couldn't say a word.

Now that things had come to this, he had nothing more to say and could only hope it would end soon.

The idea that Buddhism was opposed to Buddhism was something he spread; it can only remain buried in his heart.

Thinking of this, his resentment towards Chen Yu grew even stronger.

That despicable Chen Yu, it's all your fault that I became a traitor!

I will definitely avenge this!

　Two updates at noon, continuing in the afternoon.
