The young Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief as he casually dismissed the two. He didn't dare to make a sound as he let out a breath. Bai Susu was reluctant to leave, wishing she could turn back every few steps.
The system snapped, stuck to the cool, serpentine tail, and rolled around, teasingly saying:
"The two people have such different attitudes. If we follow the usual novel formula, the host should take a liking to the young Taoist priest and then help him get on the right track of cultivation."
The young Taoist priest is torn between loyalty to his sect and his monstrous master, and he inflicts both emotional and physical torment on his master.
Interspersed throughout are scenes featuring Bai Susu, who is either jealous of her junior brother's affection for their master, or she also falls for the young Taoist priest and tries to cause trouble. These are two possible scenarios…
With a series of rapid outputs, the system unleashed a classic Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) story of a master-disciple angst.
Ling Xiao didn't even twitch an eyebrow. His fingertips turned a page of the jade scroll, and the snake's tail suddenly tightened around the unruly system. He said nonchalantly:
"Spend less time browsing the system gossip section. Your story logic is flawed. Putting aside the fact that Su Su is my disciple, even if she were just a tool, she would still be more noble than everyone else in this world."
Besides, the Taoist sects are currently completely suppressed. If a young Taoist priest were to be sexually exploited by me, they would be overjoyed. You could call it an undercover operation, or even a marriage alliance.
This statement has many flaws.
Before he could even recover from the shock of the host knowing about the system's gossip section, he subconsciously muttered:
"Even though we're all just tools, there are different classes!"
"That's ridiculous," Ling Xiao said maliciously.
"The Supreme God also treats us like tools, and openly divides us into ranks. Hmm, this one goes to slay dragons, that one goes to woo the World's Chosen One..."
The system suddenly reached out and covered its ears. "I won't listen! I won't listen! Don't even think about disturbing my Dao heart!"
Ling Xiao rolled her eyes, her snake tail sweeping aside the books and treasures on the couch, creating a crisp, melodious tinkling sound. She said:
"After this period of fermentation, the name of Liu Xian gradually spread among the people, radiating from Nanjing to various places, and the concept of supernatural power in the world was basically accepted."
She gently tapped the system, and the long-lost light blue system interface appeared. She flipped through several reference books, and upon closer inspection, the words on them were all very similar.
—When establishing a religious idol, it is best to use valuable metals.
"With this foundation laid, it's time to begin the next step. Good system, you need to keep up the good work, otherwise how can I, the host, advance further?"
The alluring beauty cast an encouraging glance my way.
System: Received - Excited.
A burning fighting spirit ignited in his heart, and he felt his own importance. No matter how many little demons there were, in the end, the host still valued him the most!
"To build a statue of a god, you need precious metals, right?"
"Host, we still have about three or four million units of gold and silver from our previous spoils. As for other items such as pearls, jade, coral, and fur, this system has connections to sell them for a good price."
The system was brimming with energy, so much so that it didn't even realize it had revealed its access to the channels.
Their minds are completely focused on how to contribute to the host's future.
Hmm, the supreme mental cultivation method of a certain sect that once dominated the Taoist world, "The Mysterious Technique of Yin and Yang Salvation," is quite effective and very suitable for powering up the tool system.
Ling Xiao silently gave it a good review.
Then she interrupted the system, saying with surprise and self-righteousness:
"Who said we should use our own money to do things? I am the Immortal of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Ming Dynasty. If I get better, the Great Ming Dynasty will get better. Shouldn't they pay for it?"
The system sensed something was wrong, and then a bright, hazy feeling washed over it, and it nodded dizzily.
Yes, how could he use the host's money? This is all hard-earned money that he and the host worked so hard to earn.
Suddenly, the system thought of a serious problem: "The Ming Dynasty was founded not long ago and is very poor now."
Ling Xiao waved his hand, looking confident:
"The Ming Dynasty may be poor, but there are many other countries in this world besides the Ming Dynasty!"
Seeing the puzzled look, the kind-hearted host patted the empty seat next to him and, after the host sat down, explained his plan:
"Come on, look, this is Japan, with huge silver mines, this is Korea, this is Myanmar..."
The White Snake Beauty lowered her head and said with compassion, "The people in these places live in dire straits, as if they are immersed in hell. As the Willow Immortal, how can I stand idly by?"
They're even calling themselves "Immortal" now... No, what am I thinking? The system shook its head vigorously, like a trembling ball of light.
Ling Xiao glanced thoughtfully at the system and continued typing:
"Therefore, my liberation of them and their promotion to citizens of the Great Ming Dynasty is a great deed of immeasurable merit. As for taking a small reward, that's nothing."
After saying that, Ling Xiao affectionately snuggled up to the system, feeling dizzy and disoriented, as if he were not afraid of going through fire and water.
At this moment, Ling Xiao lowered her eyelashes and said softly:
"Great system. I need to deal with the emperor and can't get away, but the Taoist sect still has some treasured scriptures that they haven't brought out yet, and the Buddhist sect is completely unharmed."
Do you remember the idea we made before?
The system nodded, granting them the blessing of a personal old grandfather and an old spirit beast.
"You just...and then..."
…………
Inside the palace.
The morning court session had just ended. Zhu Yuanzhang sat behind his desk with his eyes slightly closed, his mind racing, preoccupied with the many troublesome affairs of the court.
Minor disasters and calamities kept occurring in various places, requiring the dispatch of capable officials to provide disaster relief, which necessitated a large sum of money. In addition, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were causing trouble, requiring the dispatch of troops to suppress them, which also cost a considerable amount of money.
As the princes and princesses grew up, the emperor couldn't just kick them out without giving them a penny.
