Master Changqing was just waiting for Su Ya to say those words.
So he stroked his beard and said, "If you become my apprentice, you must keep your word."
Su Ya replied with an upright expression, "Of course. I always keep my word."
Then Master Changqing continued, "To bring the soul back, it must be complete. We need her personal clothing and the hair of her closest relatives."
Master Wang immediately replied, "Don't worry, Taoist priest, I have all of these. I can deliver them tomorrow."
"No rush, no rush, I have something very important to say."
"Master, please speak."
Then, Master Changqing paused for a moment and continued, "The best day for this soul-summoning is the next time the gates of hell open, which is the fifteenth of July this year."
"Oh, that means we'll have to wait several more months."
Mr. Wang was getting a little anxious.
"Yes, if you want a complete soul, you just have to wait for this day. Because there are many souls, it's very difficult to find out which one is your daughter's."
"Ah, isn't it said that immortals can go down to the underworld?"
"Have you heard anyone say that anyone can go down to the underworld at will?"
Master Wang fell silent, but he thought to himself, "Isn't that how it's written in all the ghost stories online?"
Mr. Wang has no other hobbies, but driving a taxi is his greatest passion. He used to listen to the radio, but now it's more convenient. He can use his phone to play his favorite novels in the taxi, and he's listened to quite a few horror novels.
Driving a taxi at night is especially thrilling.
Then a cold voice said, "So, you can't summon a soul right now?"
"Yes, we have to wait until the gates of hell open wide."
"Okay, I'll come again then."
Then they heard Master Changqing shout, "Disciple, no! When I am summoning the soul, someone must be by my side to protect me."
"Ji Ziming, it's not okay?"
"He hasn't studied any mystical arts?"
"Where is Ping An?"
"Utterly foolish."
Su Ya sneered upon hearing this.
She didn't believe the nonsense Master Changqing was spouting.
Master Changqing thought Su Ya would stay on the mountain.
Then Su Ya said, "I'm sorry, but I have to participate in training for the International Mathematical Olympiad, Chemistry Olympiad, and Physics Olympiad. I don't have time to spend several months on the mountain with you. Besides, my teachers wouldn't agree to it either."
Master Changqing was completely bewildered.
"International Mathematical Olympiad, Chemistry Olympiad, Physics Olympiad—what are these?"
Then Suya said, "It's something you'll never encounter in your life."
Master Changqing was even more puzzled.
Is there anything in this world that he can't get to know?
Then Ping An said, "I know what this is. It's an international competition, and the selected people will represent their countries in international competitions."
"Where did you see this? I've never heard of this kind of competition before."
Master Changqing asked with displeasure.
"Master, of course it's online. You wouldn't know if you don't surf the internet. It just ended a few days ago. It was a national selection competition, and I heard that quite a few people were eliminated. I found the questions online and took a look. This year's questions were really difficult. Those who were selected must be the chosen ones."
Ping An said with unparalleled pride.
It's as if he was the one who was chosen.
"It's not like you were chosen, what are you so proud of? Have you finished your homework for today?"
"Not yet, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, Ping An ran away.
Su Ya watched the fleeing figure and found it quite amusing.
She may have discovered another genius like Lu Yichen.
I wonder what Master Changqing will think when he finds out about this.
In just a short while, Suya had already made up her mind to take Ping An to Kyoto.
Then Su Ya said, "I think it would be better if we did this. Since your dilapidated Taoist temple is no longer habitable, why don't you come with me to Kyoto? I can attend classes during the day and practice with you at night. Then I'll find someone to renovate this temple for you. It will definitely be more magnificent than before. Maybe after the renovation, even more worshippers will come. I've heard that Master Changqing goes to other nearby Taoist temples every month to borrow one day for their open house."
Su Ya was curious from the beginning why this Taoist temple was only open one day a month. Later, she finally found out that it was because Tianqing Taoist Temple was too dilapidated and could not attract worshippers. So every month, Master Changqing would borrow some incense money from nearby Taoist temples.
Although it was only for one day, the scarcity of the item made it valuable, and the amount of incense money collected that day was considerable. Otherwise, where would Master Changqing have gotten the money to repair the Tianqing Taoist Temple?
"That's not necessary, as long as it's better than before."
Master Changqing said modestly.
"Then it's decided. We still need to find a reliable person to recommend for the construction team."
After Su Ya finished speaking, she turned to Master Wang and said, "I wonder if Master Wang knows any construction teams in Jinan?"
Upon hearing this, Master Wang wondered how this had come to be about him. He did know the construction team; he had a relative who was working on a construction project in Daicheng during this period.
So he nodded and said, "I know. I have a relative who owns a construction team, and they happen to be in Daicheng recently."
In fact, Su Ya had already found out that Master Wang had a relative whose construction team was in Daicheng, and the two families had a good relationship. Su Ya was deliberately helping Master Wang.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Wang. Don't worry about the price, just make it magnificent and also recast the golden statues of the Taoist priests inside."
Master Wang already knew that this girl was someone who didn't lack money.
Since others have already said so, there's no need for me to offer my opinion.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make sure my relative does a good job."
Master Wang immediately expressed his opinion.
A "beep" sounded.
Mr. Wang's phone rang.
Upon taking out his phone, Mr. Wang saw a bank card deposit notification. After opening the message, he almost collapsed to the ground because his legs went weak. He had to count it several times to make sure it was a full 500,000 Chinese dollars.
So shocked was Mr. Wang that he never even considered where the girl had found his bank card.
Then the girl said, "Master Wang, this is the deposit. If it's not enough, just let me know."
Master Wang...
I have nothing to say.
When Master Changqing saw how frightened Master Wang was, he suddenly became curious about how much money it was that had scared him so much.
So I took the opportunity to glance at Master Wang's phone and saw that it displayed 500,000,000. Well done, a full 500,000. This apprentice is too rich.
Master Changqing was secretly delighted. It seemed that this newly found disciple was even richer than Ji Ziming. He had only reluctantly accepted Ji Ziming because the Ji family offered him a large sum of money.
What a pity! Master Changqing's joy didn't last long before he heard Su Ya coldly say, "This matter has been resolved. So, Master Changqing, shouldn't we settle accounts for how you tricked my second uncle into coming to the Taoist temple?"
