"I know a bit. Actually, many commoners at the foot of the mountain converted to the Lingshen years ago, saying the Lingshen is truly miraculous. That is precisely why our Wolong Temple has seen such sluggish incense offerings in recent years. Does the old master have any relatives? Once I go down the mountain, I could have someone write a letter to the old master on your behalf," said Daoist Jingkong.
"I do, but they are in a very far place where letters cannot reach. Still, there is no need to trouble Daoist Jingkong," Fang Chen gently shook his head.
Daoist Jingkong nodded. "A while ago, I heard that a commoner family, having worshipped the Lingshen for generations, was granted a pill, seemingly called the Blood Spirit Divine Pill. As it happened, a son in that family was born dull-witted, but after taking the pill, he turned out clever, exceedingly strong, and was even summoned by the Emperor of Yue for an audience. I don't know whether this rumor is true or false, but if it is, it might not be a bad idea for Wolong Temple to convert to the Lingshen as well."
