“This is the Hall of Purity. Over the years, it has become old and shabby.” Ning Fei pointed to the hall in front of him as he spoke.

The hall was indeed shabby-looking as the red paint on the wooden doors and window frames had faded, revealing the yellowish rotten wood underneath.

But the viewers were observant enough to discover that the Hall of Purity was nonetheless clean. There wasn’t a speck of dust to be seen in sight. Even the incense burners on the table were placed neatly. The incense ashes in the burners had also been removed.

After that, Ning Fei introduced the dormitory, garden, bamboo forest, well, and fruit trees to the viewers. Even though Light Breeze Temple was a temple, other than the Hall of Purity, it resembled an ordinary peasant family house or farm.

The traditional Taoists could be categorized into two clans — the Quanzhen clan and the Zhengyi clan. However, Light Breeze Temple belonged to neither and was simply labeled as a hidden clan.

A hidden clan didn’t have that many rules or traditions and, in a sense, was less conventional. They emphasized more on continuing their legacy and on life. The clan’s belief was in one’s heart.

“This is my temple. If I include the area of the dormitory, it’s only about two thousand square meters,” concluded Ning Fei.

After he finished talking, a wave of ardent discussion broke out amongst the viewers.

‘Only? Does the webcaster not understand how large 2,000 square meters is?’

‘2,000 square meters is incredible!’

‘How I envy him. My rented apartment is merely a pathetic 40-square-meter space, and I have to share a toilet.’

‘What the…?! Did my eyes fail me? His courtyard is huge.’

‘May I ask what kind of bamboo have you planted? Why are the bamboos so tall?’

The viewers exploded with questions, causing a commotion.

Ning Fei glanced at the time, and it was nearly 9.00 p.m.

It had already turned dark.

There weren’t any lights in the temple, but it wasn’t because they wanted to save electricity. It was merely common knowledge to anyone who lived in the mountains that there were too many bugs.

Other than the bugs and mosquitoes, there was an endless number of moths flying around.

The situation wasn’t that bad without light. If there was a source of light, the ground would be covered with dead moths the next morning.

“It’s getting late, so I’ll end the livestream now. From tomorrow onward, I’ll be starting the livestream from nine in the morning until nine at night. Thank you for watching.”

Ning Fei waved at the screen on his phone.

‘No! Little brother, let me watch you for a while longer!’

‘This host is quite interesting. He ended the session after a mere two hours.’

‘I’m totally his fan! Let me subscribe to him and see what he is going to show tomorrow.’

‘Is this a real Taoist temple? Let me research it on Baidu.’ 1

Many of the viewers bade him goodbye reluctantly.

Ning Fei ended the livestream and then checked on the webcast’s statistics.

There were a total of 2,623 viewers, and 184 had subscribed to his channel. Thirteen had rewarded him.

These results were great and encouraging for an amateur like him, who had only livestreamed for two hours.

Certainly, his good looks and his identity as a priest had indeed attracted many.

Ning Fei also checked on the popularity level with the System. He had accumulated 942 points.

“System, how do you calculate the popularity?” Ning Fei asked out of curiosity.

“Answering the host’s question now. The popularity level is calculated based on how much the viewers had liked the host. To put it simply, one point is the lowest a viewer can give. Ten points mean that the host is well-liked by the viewer. If someone gives you fifty, he or she is your die-hard fan,” the System answered.

“Oh, I see.” Ning Fei nodded in response.

The lowest a fan could give was one popularity point, and they could also give more than fifty points.

To think that he had garnered more than nine hundred popularity points.

At this time, the system’s voice echoed again.

“Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing his first webcast! Your reward is an insect-repelling incense. This incense will protect the temple from being attacked by bugs and pests.”
