Grandpa Liu had actually seen a lot of good things in his life, and he had even given Lu Yuan two large vats of gold and silver treasures back then.
The sheer amount of money on display was quite impactful—a million, a whole million!
He knew that Hong Kong businessmen were coming up the mountain to do good deeds today, but he never expected that they would come with so much money.
Good heavens, this money is so easy to swindle.
Oh no, this money is too easy to make!
I can't afford to mess this up.
Dead Hand, how come you couldn't even hold onto a whisk at the crucial moment?
Fortunately, he was old enough to have seen a lot, and after a moment of surprise, he quickly calmed down.
He picked up the fallen whisk with a blank expression and shook off the dust.
Looking up at Boss Li, he said sincerely, "Your Excellency is radiant with golden light. In all my years, I have only seen two people like you. Your nobility is beyond words. I apologize for my momentary lapse in composure!"
Mr. Li was initially somewhat displeased with Mr. Liu's outburst, assuming he was simply overwhelmed by the sheer amount of money he had ever seen. However, upon hearing Mr. Liu's words, he immediately became pleased.
He laughed heartily, "Hahaha, old man, you really have a keen eye! Well then, I'll take your kind words!"
The phrase "priceless" truly pleased Mr. Li, and after performing this act of merit, he even declared that he would do it once a year.
He also gave Grandpa Liu 10,000 yuan.
Grandpa Liu's beard trembled violently. He realized it himself, so he quickly grabbed his beard, looking inscrutable, and kept muttering auspicious words.
"This boss is destined for lifelong wealth and prosperity, with many children and grandchildren, and a flourishing family..."
This struck a chord with Mr. Li, who laughed even louder.
Lu Yuan's lips twitched. He hadn't expected the old man to have such skills; he had almost managed to coax Boss Li into becoming a placenta.
He gave Lu Guoan a wink, and Lu Guoan said to the crowd, "After you finish doing good deeds, you can come here to get a porcelain bottle to collect the holy water. After you collect it, put it in the side hall for seven hours and then you can come back to collect it."
Mr. Li did as instructed.
Afterwards, Cheng Yanqiu and the Shi family also performed good deeds to obtain holy water. To Lu Yuan's surprise, Cheng Yanqiu also performed good deeds worth 1 million.
When Cheng Yanqiu took out 1 million yuan, the Shi family was very glad that Lu Yuan had told them the amount of money Boss Li was going to do for good deeds the night before.
They had originally prepared 500,000 yuan, but when they heard that Boss Li was going to give 1 million yuan, they changed their minds. They couldn't possibly come along with someone else and then do something different.
If he had more, it wouldn't matter, but the problem is he's the one with less, which is unacceptable.
After Lu Yuan and the others completed the procedures, he led the group to the cafeteria, where it was already lunchtime.
The food prepared on the mountain is not all vegetarian; some dishes also contain meat.
It's just that the couple seeking a child cannot eat it; everyone else can.
The cafeteria food is plentiful, with dishes like spicy rabbit, braised pork, chicken stew with mushrooms, and pork stew with vermicelli, among others, and there are quite a few meat dishes.
The taste is also very good, no worse than that of the ones down the mountain, and even better.
Everyone was starving after the long hike up the mountain, and the food made them very hungry. They ate to their hearts' content.
After the meal, Li Shun couldn't wait to ask Lu Yuan, "Mr. Lu, where are the four guardian deities? When can we take pictures?"
Lu Yuan replied, "You guys rest in the lounge for a bit, I'll go make the arrangements right away."
"How long will it take to arrange?" Li Shun asked.
Lu Yuan raised his wrist to check the time.
"We'll try to get you a group photo with the four guardian deities in about half an hour!"
Lu Yuan exchanged a few more words with Lu Guoan and the other staff before heading deeper into the woods.
They stopped at a certain place, and after observing that no one was around, they released the tiger brothers, the lion brothers, the bear, and the white wolf from their spatial storage.
Now, their offspring are guarding the territory in the forest. The little cubs from back then have all grown up and are even bigger than their parents.
Today, they have quite a few family members.
Tiger and his wife had 26 tiger cubs, and Lion was not far behind, having 23 lion cubs.
Xiong Hanhan is a bit less impressive, currently only having 18 children.
The one with the most offspring is White Wolf, who already has more than fifty children.
The adult beasts are sent out in batches to guard the territory, while Tiger, Lion, Hanhan, and White Wolf mostly stay in the space to enjoy life.
Lu Yuan released the photos that someone took.
"Wait for me behind the temple. I'll take the people who want to take pictures over there. Remember, you can't hurt anyone. If anyone hurts anyone, I'll kill them."
The four beasts nodded their heads frantically like children, looking both fierce and adorable. Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Cooperate well for the photo shoot. After we're done, I'll take you into the space to drink some spiritual spring water. Have an extra bowl."
Upon hearing that they could have an extra bowl of water, the beasts grinned happily and nuzzled Lu Yuan with their heads.
Lu Yuan stumbled a few times as they bumped against him, and quickly told them to stop.
He added, "When you take pictures with people later, don't rub against them. Most people can't handle your strength. I'm worried you'll be pushed away."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Also, it only costs 10,000 yuan to take a picture next to one of you each time, but if you want to appear with all of you, you'll have to pay extra, understand? You won't do it if you don't pay extra."
The four of them nodded in unison.
Lu Yuan felt he had explained everything enough before leading them back.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he stopped in his tracks. The four of them also stopped immediately, looking at him with clear yet foolish eyes.
Lu Yun chuckled, "Wait for me, don't wander off."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was carrying a basket filled with the fragrance of medicine.
The four big ones twitched their noses and tried to get into the basket, so Lu Yuan patted their heads.
"Don't touch it, this isn't for you to eat, it's for selling."
The shops at the bus station sell expensive medicinal herbs, but the prices are so high that he hasn't made a single sale yet. He needs to find a way to promote them.
I just entered the space and found an 80-year-old ginseng and a large Ganoderma lucidum. Just smelling the aroma is refreshing.
He believed that as long as he placed the basket in front of the Shi and Li families, they would fight over it, and then he could naturally promote the shop's medicinal herbs.
After leading the four animals to the back of the temple, Lu Yuan deliberately delayed the process, and only started walking towards the temple a quarter of an hour after the agreed time with Li Shun.
"Why has Mr. Lu been gone for so long? It's almost 2:30 now," Li Shun asked with a smile.
Lu Yuan quickly apologized and raised the basket in his hand.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Li, it's because the Four Guardian Gods took me to dig up two medicinal herbs that we were delayed a little."
"Herbal medicine? What herbal medicine?"
Everyone looked curiously into the basket.
