I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 75, Level 2, Qingshan Temple



Chapter 75, Level 2, Qingshan Temple

Chi Le took the dormitory key that she had been awarded.

A playing card is attached to a small keychain.

It says 404 on it.

"Room 04 on the 4th floor".

Just as Chi Le was about to head to the dormitory building, Luo Yang poked his head in.

"Chi Le...where do you live? 404...I'm in 405!"

"What a coincidence, we're right next door!"

Luo Yang's words caught the attention of Chai Siyuan and Wu Min.

The two walked over.

"What a coincidence, Siyuan and I live next door to each other."

Wu Min took out her dormitory key and waved it in front of Chi Le and Luo Yang.

Chai Siyuan also took out the key and held it in her palm.

Chi Le noticed the numbers printed on the small tags on the two people's keys.

302, 303.

"What a coincidence!"

Luo Yang looked at his own keys, as well as those of Chi Le, Chai Siyuan, and Wu Min, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Wu Min looked outside the training ground and said.

"Unfortunately, this place is very remote, there are hardly any people around, let alone places to eat, and it seems that we can't go out freely during the training camp."

"Otherwise, since we're so lucky, I'll treat you guys to a nice meal out!"

"Then you can treat us after the training camp ends!"

Luo Yang said with a grin.

"Get lost! I'm not taking you with me."

Chi Le took in the whole scene.

After talking on the bus, the group had become quite familiar with each other.

Especially Luo Yang and Wu Min, in just a short while, they were already able to joke around familiarly.

Is this the social skill of a social ox?

Chi Le was breathtaking.

Chai Siyuan did not participate in this conversation; instead, she hid behind Wu Min, her head down, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Noticing Chai Siyuan's unusual behavior and feeling the bright, curious, and scrutinizing gazes around her, Chi Le said.

"I'm going back to my dorm to catch up on sleep; I didn't sleep well last night."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang said:

"Yes, yes, now that you mention it, Chi Le, I'm a little sleepy too."

"I heard that the first afternoon of training camp is usually all theoretical instruction; if I don't sleep, I'll really fall asleep!"

"Although I've probably heard most of what they say before, there might still be things I haven't heard of!"

Wu Min handed over a knife at the opportune moment.

"Brother, how come you've heard about everything?"

"Siyuan, let's go back to the dorm."

After saying that, Wu Min took Chai Siyuan's hand and walked towards where the bus was parked.

They needed to get their luggage first.

The Special Operations Bureau's notice mentioned that the training camp would be conducted in a closed environment, so they all brought only simple luggage.

As she passed by Chi Le, Chai Siyuan quietly nodded to express her gratitude.

Chi Le didn't pay any attention. After getting her luggage containing her personal belongings from the bus, she headed towards her dormitory.

"Let's go back to the dorm... Wait for me, Chi Le! Shouldn't friends walk together?"

Before Luo Yang could finish speaking, he saw that Chi Le was almost at the dormitory building and shouted anxiously.

……

The dormitories at the training camp are all single rooms.

It has a bedroom, a balcony, and a bathroom.

"At least we don't have to specifically look for a place anymore."

Chi Le walked around his dormitory to familiarize himself with the surroundings before locking the door from the inside.

Then, a half-hidden door appeared, and the mist swirling around it fell to the ground, reaching up to his ankles.

Stepping through the gate, Chi Le returned to Qingshan Temple.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Chi Le noticed the changes at Qingshan Temple.

First, there's the size of the main hall.

It is visibly larger inside the main hall.

Excluding the four corner pillars, the main hall originally only had one main pillar on each side, supporting the beams and roof.

Now, the two main pillars seem to have moved forward a bit, and two more main pillars of the same thickness have appeared behind the statue of the immortals.

The statues of gods and immortals in the center of the main hall have not changed much.

The offering table in front of the statues of gods and immortals also appeared to be a bit wider.

It seems that Chi Le can present more items at once, instead of just three items at a time, which greatly improves efficiency.

The small incense burner that used to be on the table has disappeared, and I don't know where it went.

Stepping out of the main hall, Chi Le saw an incense burner as tall as two people in the open space outside the steps.

The incense burner is a three-legged round burner with inscriptions engraved all over it and a handle facing upwards on each side.

It is entirely rusty green and has a simple, antique shape.

"It seems that in the future, worshippers will not need to enter the main hall to offer incense; they can do so outside the hall."

Chi Le patted the incense burner, which was still empty.

bang bang bang

A deep, yet somewhat clear, metallic sound echoed within the Qingshan Temple.

Chi Le took a walk around Qingshan Temple.

Besides these two obvious changes, the open space where the incense burner is located has also become a bit larger.

The rest remained largely unchanged.

With a thought, the Qingshan Temple's control panel appeared before Chi Le's eyes.

【Qingshan Temple】

Rank: Two

【建筑:大殿(耐久:20/20),山门(耐久:30/30),偏殿(耐久:20/20)】

[Included Deities: Changxi Village Fude Zhengshen (Tier 1), Grass-Headed Deity - Soul-Guiding Spirit Soldiers (Tier 1)]

[Number of Divine Images that can be included: 2/5]

Number of people eligible for protection: 0/20

[Item: Chi Ling Lamp Oil × 99...]

[Mysterious Relics: Toad Molt (Tier 2), Spirit Nourishing Hairpin (Tier 1)]

Incense offerings: 9

[Note: The new building is under construction.]

[Note: All buildings in Qingshan Temple are immune to damage from low-ranking evil spirits and demons; damage is reduced by 30% at rank one!]

[Note: The building – the mountain gate – can be opened simultaneously in two locations, and the number of mountain gates that can be opened at the same time increases with the rank of Qingshan Temple.]

[Note: Advancing the Qingshan Temple's rank to Tier 3 requires: 500 Incense Offerings, 80 Ghost Cores, 1 Dual Heart Tree's Ten-Day Heart, 1 Moonbeam Pearl from the Moon-Holding Bird, and 1 Ghost Soul from the Servant Demon.]

"Sure enough, the changes at Qingshan Temple are not just that the space has become larger; the number of people it can shelter at the same time has increased more than sixfold."

"Furthermore, all buildings are immune to attacks from unranked demons and evil spirits."

"This will save a lot of money on incense offerings."

When protecting the daytime returnees, demons and evil spirits outside the [mountain gate] will attempt to enter the Green Mountain Temple.

Resisting evil spirits and demons will reduce the durability of buildings.

Once the durability reaches zero, evil spirits and demons can directly enter the Green Mountain Temple.

Every night, Chi Le has to spend incense to repair the building's durability.

This is a considerable expense for incense offerings.

"Most importantly, the [Mountain Gate] can appear in two locations at the same time!"

"In other words, every night, Qingshan Temple can simultaneously receive visitors returning from two different locations, directly doubling the incense offerings earned during a single night of shelter!"

Upon seeing the new feature of the [Mountain Gate], Chi Le couldn't help but smile.

The increase in incense offerings is not the biggest benefit brought about by this change in the mountain gate.

"The [Mountain Gate] connects to two locations simultaneously, so doesn't that mean I have a teleportation portal?"

Chile had tried it before.

At night, the [Mountain Gate] will randomly spawn at a certain location in the Ghost World. After the daytime returnee enters the Green Mountain Temple at this location.

The location of the mountain gate can no longer be changed at will; it must be fixed in this position.

The location of the [Mountain Gate] can only be changed after the daytime returnees leave Qingshan Temple and return to the position they were in before entering Qingshan Temple.

This rule also applies to the native inhabitants of the Ghost World.

However, this rule does not apply to Chi Le, the abbot of Qingshan Temple.

He can drive wherever he wants.

Whether he is inside Qingshan Temple or not, it doesn't matter.

Chi Le has always used the [Mountain Gate] as a fixed-point teleportation portal for him in the Ghost World.

Now, with the advancement of Qingshan Temple.

The Mountain Gate has become a true fixed-point teleportation portal!
