The sun sets in the west.

The matters in the village have been dealt with, and Su Xiaoluo and the young incense burners have gradually returned home.

White Cliff Mountain, which bustled for a day, finally returned to tranquility.

Lin Heng returned to the Daoist Temple, with an irrepressible look of joy in his eyes.

[You have slain a Postnatal Realm vicious ghost, cultivation +350]

[You have gained one hundred basic believers, reputation value +1000]

[You have gained one hundred devout believers, reputation value +10000]

[You have gained one hundred diehard believers, reputation value +1000000]

[You...]

...

Ever since he started saving the little girl and later distributing incense money to the villagers, the system prompts in Lin Heng's mind never ceased.

Moreover, this time, the system prompts were quite different from before.

The increase in reputation was no longer +1+1+1.

It now depended on what level of believer was gained to receive different reputation value rewards.

Lin Heng pondered for a long time before realizing that the previous +1 reputation was merely because his actions changed people's perception that Daoism was all about charlatans.

That was a reward for changing the reputation of Daoism.

But today, he had genuinely gained believers of his own!

This was much more difficult than the former, so the reputation reward was naturally much higher.

Additionally, Lin Heng discovered that believers also needed to be categorized by the level of their faith!

Normal believers, each contributed +10 reputation.

Devout believers, each contributed +100 reputation.

Meanwhile, diehard believers were a bit terrifying, each contributing a staggering 10000 reputation points!

This greatly shocked Lin Heng, but he also found it quite reasonable.

After all, diehard believers represented absolute and complete faith!

Once someone became a diehard believer, no matter what Lin Heng did in the future,

this type of believer would support him unwaveringly, without the slightest bit of doubt!

"I didn't expect that casually giving incense money to the villagers would have such benefits?"

Lin Heng found it somewhat laughable and tearful.

Undoubtedly, the diehard believers he gained were basically all villagers.

But initially, when Lin Heng decided to distribute the money to the villagers, he honestly didn't intend to gain anything from it.

He simply wanted to help Master Qingxu and repay the village a little.

After all, back when all Daoists from Qingfeng Daoist Temple descended the mountain, Master Qingxu was just an eight-year-old little Daoist child.

He was able to grow up safely, thanks in no small part to the assistance of the simple villagers.

Because of this, Lin Heng thought of giving money to help improve the villagers' lives.

Of course, the main reason was still that Lin Heng no longer needed money.

He had become a thorough Daoist cultivator, and if he didn't have earthly desires for food and drink, he might not even need to eat.

With this situation, what use could worldly wealth have for him?

"Reputation value is more appealing."

Lin Heng checked the data panel, finding his total reputation value had already reached 1,120,000!

This was an unexpected gain, making Lin Heng extremely joyful.

"Finally, I can check out the middle-level lottery!"

"Ah Xi, start the draw!"

Following Lin Heng's command.

The previously bronze-colored lottery wheel turned silver-white.

It was still densely packed with hundreds of lottery items.

Elixirs, techniques, magical artifacts, divine techniques, and even some oddly named materials for alchemy and artifact refining were all included.

"Let's go!"

Lin Heng looked on with anticipation.

Soon after, the silver-white wheel began to spin and stopped afterward.

A subtitle appeared.

[Congratulations to the host for drawing the Golden Light Spell!]

Golden Light Spell: Supreme divine technique of the Celestial Master's Mansion in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the golden light shines all over, as fierce as fire in attack, immobile as a mountain!

"Is it really the legendary Golden Light Divine Spell?"

Upon seeing this reward, Lin Heng was ecstatic.

The Golden Light Spell is one of the eight divine spells of the Daoist sect and also the supreme divine technique of the Celestial Master's Mansion in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, alongside the Five Thunders Righteous Method as the Celestial Mansion's highest skill.

It is a top-tier divine technique dreamed of by those in Daoism!

And now, being successfully drawn by Lin Heng, you can imagine his delight.

"Immediately integrate!"

Lin Heng ordered without hesitation.

Accompanied by a flash of brilliance, a wisp of golden light entered his brow, and his mind expanded with myriad mysteries.

After calming his mind and perceiving it for a moment, he finally exhaled a breath, displaying a smile on his face.

The Golden Light Spell had already been thoroughly comprehended by him.

The effect of this divine spell was indeed astonishing.

Not to mention the integration of offense and defense, its empowerment against demons and monsters, and its formidable power even against normal cultivators!

It's essential to know that even the Five Thunders Righteous Method had vastly different powers when dealing with cultivators versus fighting demonic entities.

But the Golden Light Spell had no such drawbacks, making Lin Heng highly satisfied.

No wonder it's a reward from the million-lottery wheel, though the Five Elements Ghost Skill, Near and Far, and Palm Thunder from the hundred-thousand-lottery wheel were not lacking.

But compared to the top divine spells of Daoism, they still somewhat paled in comparison.

"It's really a pity to think about."

"If only I had the Golden Light Spell that day against that yellow-skinned demon, I could have completely ignored its stinking moves."

That night, even with Near and Far, Lin Heng could have chased down the Evil Spirit City God if he pursued relentlessly.

But due to that creature's innate divine technique, the yellow-skinned demon's fart empowered by decades of cultivation was quite terrifying.

Along the way, vegetation withered and decayed, and the foul stench could make creatures within a one-mile radius collectively faint.

Lin Heng had no choice but to stop his chase, allowing the gravely injured yellow-skinned demon to escape.

However, if at that time Lin Heng had the Golden Light Spell, the result would be self-evident.

"Sigh, I should have gone easier at that time; after injuring it so severely, it might not come tomorrow night?"

Lin Heng murmured to himself.

...

...

On the other side.

After returning to Zen Spirit Temple during the day, Kong Wen and others immediately headed to the East Suburban Wilderness at night.

However, upon seeing the century-old City God Temple turned into ruins,

Kong Wen and his disciple were undoubtedly dumbfounded.

"What... happened here?"

Jue Xin was utterly shocked.

The East Suburb City God Temple held a position in Chang City equivalent to a forbidden zone.

In its early years, the Spirit Suppression Bureau attempted to subdue it multiple times.

But inevitably, all ended in utter failure.

Over time, the Spirit Suppression Bureau could only temporarily abandon their efforts, leaving matters unresolved.

But now, the City God Temple had turned to ruins?

Kong Wen couldn't help but feel unsettled.

"Could it be that the Spirit Suppression Bureau sought assistance from a supreme expert?"

The thought crossed his mind, but he quickly shook his head.

"That shouldn't be."

"The world today is overrun by demons everywhere, and the local Spirit Suppression Bureaus are too busy with their own issues; how could they procure a supreme expert?"

Kong Wen furrowed his brows tightly.

He knew well the notorious name of the Evil Spirit City God.

In Chang City, if anyone could deal with it,

it would only be the Abbot of Zen Spirit Temple!
