Chapter 30: Thinking of a Way to Make Money

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Daoist priests cultivated for decades, but they didn’t earn as much money as many people thought. Perhaps some fake Taoist priests could swindle a lot of money, but Ji Jing would not do such a thing.

The incense in Lingyun Temple was given to believers for free to prevent black-hearted merchants from selling incense at high prices at the entrance.

The protective talismans sold were all meticulously made by the Abbey Dean and his disciples. They contained really useful spiritual power, but they were only sold for two yuan each.

The incense money was mostly used for charitable donations after the basic expenses of the Taoist temple.

Only believers like the Lin family would bring Ji Jing a large amount of income, but such income was unstable. It might only happen once a year or two.

There should be some income from solving the KTV incident, but this was a relatively simple commission, so the income wouldn’t be high.

In comparison, the cinnabar and yellow paper used by Ji Jing were special and not cheap.

The most important thing was the lightning tribulation! Although Ji Jing had yet to find a way to resolve the lightning tribulation, she would need a few powerful magic tools and pills to do so.

Magical artifacts and pills cost much more than yellow paper and cinnabar. The umbrella that Ming Ze had given her could be sold for six figures in the ghost market, and it could not even withstand the second lightning tribulation!

“Sigh! I don’t have that much money.” Ji Jing kept the talisman. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to sigh.

Even if her refining and alchemy skills were passable and she could buy the materials herself, she still needed to spend a lot of money, far exceeding the burden of her five-digit bank account.

The lightning tribulation was getting closer and closer. She had to hurry up.

“I have to think of a stable way to earn money.”Ji Jing muttered to herself.

She had already contacted the Taoist Association of C City and would regularly accept some commissions to solve related matters, but this was not stable enough.

“Tomorrow, I’ll go and change my phone first. Then, I’ll go and solve the KTV problem. Finally, I’ll find another way to make money.”She planned.

It was already late at night. After washing up, she lay on the bed, exhausted, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Ji Jing went out.

According to her plan, she went to the mobile phone store first. This time, she remembered to ask Driver Li for his contact information.

It took nearly two hours to get back to the Ji family from the city last night. It was really troublesome.

The phone shop was located in the shopping district near the bar street. After changing her phone, she walked towards the KTV.

At first, Ji Jing was worried that she would come too early. She did not expect Song Chao to be waiting for her in the office when she went to the front desk to ask.

Song Chao quickly received the news and went downstairs.” Good morning, Daoist Priest Zizhu!”

Ji Jing turned around and smiled.”

In the morning, only the staff were cleaning and preparing the KTV. It was Song Chao’s first time coming to the KTV so early.

However, he had specially memorized the contents of the dream last night and made a major discovery. After waking up, he couldn’t sit still and came to the shop early to wait for Ji Jing.

He was very happy to see that Ji Jing had come so early. The masters he had met these past few days mostly liked to put on airs and make him wait.

It was as if only others could show their nobility. Only Ji Jing had the ability and sincerity to come so early in the morning. She must have placed a lot of importance on his matter.

Actually, Ji Jing was just looking for an excuse to leave the Ji family. She did not expect Song Chao to have a good impression of her.

Song Chao brought Ji Jing to the office on the third floor of the KTV and couldn’t wait to share the important discovery from last night with her.

“Daoist Priest Purple Bamboo, I know what that Mr. Li wants to say!”Song Chao said as he made tea for Ji Jing.

“Oh?” Ji Jing was pleasantly surprised. It would be better if she could find more clues.

“He’s just worried about his daughter!”Song Chao said,” I don’t know if it was because you woke me up yesterday, but I was more awake in my dream last night than a few days ago. I clearly realized that I was dreaming. Although I still couldn’t hear his voice, I recognized his mouth shape. He should be calling Taotao!”

Song Chao’s tone was a little excited.” Mr. Li’s daughter is called Li Tao, and one of the scenes that he often dreams of is the peach blossom forest, right? I guess he’s hinting at his daughter!”

Ji Jing was also happy for Song Chao.” That’s right. This proves our guess from yesterday.”
