“That…that Five Elements…Five Elements…” Wei Dafa stammered.
"It is the Five Purification Cauldron. It has been exposed to incense smoke and blessed by the Buddha in the eighteen temples of Yunling for many years. It is most capable of purifying evil and impurities. As long as you enshrine this cauldron in your restaurant, not to mention the evil energy produced by a small toilet, even ghosts and evil spirits will have to detour when they come to your restaurant."
"You can just open the door and go about your business, and you can lie down and sleep soundly as you please. As long as you are in this restaurant, eight hundred Arhats will be chanting sutras and praying for you, bringing you wealth and longevity. I originally planned to enshrine this Five Purification Cauldron in the new room of the Ghost Building. If it weren't for our karmic connection, how could I bear to give it to you?"
The high monk frowned, a look of regret on his face.
"Master Ruyuan, how much does it cost to request the Five Purification Cauldron?" After listening to the high monk's words for a while, Wei Dafa's expression changed, and he finally gritted his teeth and asked with a ferocious look in his eyes.
“When I brought the Five Purification Cauldron from the eighteen temples of Yunling back then, I made a vow before the Buddha that as long as the Five Purification Cauldron could bring blessings to people, I would build another pagoda in Yunling.” Master Ruyuan smiled slightly, turned his face to look at the setting sun again, and said slowly.
“Build another...build another pagoda…” Wei Dafa, a real estate tycoon, immediately gave a price in his mind. Building another pagoda, even the simplest one, would cost at least two or three hundred thousand. And that would be for someone who wasn’t sincere. If he wanted someone who was more sincere, he would have to ask for at least a million.
Wei Dafa felt a sharp pain in his chest. How many vows had this Master Ruyuan made before Buddha? How many magical treasures had he brought down the mountain? His restaurant had already offered four or five of them, and judging by the looks of it, it probably wasn't over yet.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yao immediately realized that he had encountered a swindler. He had clearly absorbed all the spiritual energy from the restaurant, so what did it have to do with the toilet two miles away?
However, he has only absorbed 42 points of spiritual energy, which is barely enough to keep him moving. He is too busy taking care of himself to have any intention of turning against this charlatan monk.
Moreover, he wasn't related to Wei Dafa or Chen Ke. He had heard about it since morning and knew that Wei Dafa had probably made a lot of money through shady means over the years. Giving some of his money to the swindler monk for his extravagant and corrupt lifestyle wasn't wrong. At least it entered the circulation process and promoted economic development.
As for Wei Dafa, he actually had some doubts about Master Ruyuan. After all, he had been in business for many years, and if he weren't so quick-witted, he would have gone bankrupt long ago. However, he was just too obsessed with making money and prolonging life, which was understandable; the richer a person is, the more they understand the benefits of money.
Furthermore, if you amass a fortune and then suddenly pass away, wouldn't you end up working for someone else? So, it's not enough to just make money; you also need to be alive to enjoy it.
Since Master Ruyuan persuaded him to build this restaurant, he has used all sorts of magical artifacts and spiritual weapons to make Wei Dafa lose a lot of money. However, Wei Dafa has his own set of accounts. In order to show off his superior demeanor, Master Ruyuan did not charge Wei Dafa a single penny for the design fee of the restaurant.
It wasn't that Master Ruyuan wasn't envious of the design fee; it's just that the restaurant had virtually no design involved. It was simply a copy of an existing temple. Master Ruyuan was too embarrassed to ask for it, and he was also afraid that his greed would be too unseemly and offend Wei Dafa.
The Yunling Eighteen Temples are not far from Huadu. Send a construction worker over there, burn incense, pray to Buddha, and while he's at it, he can easily copy the design drawings back.
Ru Yuan had his own plans, and Wei Dafu had his own thoughts. Since Ru Yuan didn't ask for a design fee, he would just consider it as paying Ru Yuan for the design fee by hiring those magical treasures and spiritual artifacts. Thinking about it this way, he could do two things with one sum of money, and whether he was losing out or making a profit was another matter.
Moreover, Wei Dafa truly felt it. Since the Lotus Pond Avenue store was built, he chose to come here for lunch break almost every day. He felt much more refreshed and had more energy than before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so bewitched and fallen for Song Aifen's tricks.
After all, the spiritual power of the Lotus Pond Avenue store was real, so Wei Dafa had a lot of faith in Ruyuan's cultivation. Thinking about it, he had already invested so much, and it would be a real pity if, in the end, the Lotus Pond Avenue store became an ordinary restaurant just for the sake of a Five Purification Cauldron.
He did a quick mental calculation and realized that the money he had earned from him was almost enough to cover the design fee for a large residential complex. He gritted his teeth and decided to bring back the Five Purities Cauldron, treating it as if all the magical treasures and spiritual artifacts he had already acquired were purchased with this money.
All things considered, spending the money to acquire five or six magical treasures isn't too expensive.
Master Ruyuan had been helping him adjust the feng shui of his restaurant. Originally, he was going to give the master a big red envelope for the consecration of the Pixiu in front of the door, but now... he decided to skip it. Moreover, he also wanted the master to consecrate the screen for him!
With this thought, Wei Dafa's expression gradually brightened, and a smile returned.
“Since Master Ruyuan is so reluctant to part with it, then I will accept it without hesitation, Little Li! Little Li…!” He said to Master Ruyuan with a smile, and then started shouting.
"Boss..." a young man answered as he ran in from outside.
"I wonder how big that Five Purification Cauldron is? Can my Wealthy Prince title be pulled over?" Seeing Xiao Li appear, Wei Dafa turned to ask Ruyuan.
“Sure, the important thing about ritual implements is their quality, not their form. The more high-end the implement, the more exquisite its shape. Have Xiao Li go to my house and tell Layman Zhou to take the incense burner that has been empty on the left side of the shrine. He will know then.” Ru Yuan nodded and instructed Wei Dafa.
"Did you hear me? Hurry up and go to Master Ruyuan's house to get it for me." Wei Dafu ordered Xiao Li, then turned to Wang Yao. "By the way, young man, are you going back now, or would you like to have a casual dinner with us tonight?"
