"As expected."
"Gods should also appropriately display miracles."
"Only by appropriately displaying miracles will the faith of believers become more devout."
A smile appeared on Li Yue's face.
Originally—
He only had five 'Grade B Believers'.
But now, all of a sudden, he has eleven more 'Grade B Believers'!
Moreover, after subtracting the eleven who were promoted to 'Grade B Believers,' the 'Grade C Believers' also increased from sixty-five to seventy-nine!
This is because only a small portion of the villagers of Li Family Village are watching.
Once the news spreads.
And they see Li Youming's transformation as if he were a different person.
He believes—
The vast majority of the villagers in the entire Li Family Village should become more devout!
A god who has manifested miracles.
And a god who manifests miracles so directly is naturally enough to shock the hearts of the villagers and greatly strengthen their faith.
"With my low ninth-grade divine rank."
"The strength of the temple priest I appointed should be able to reach 'Second-Order Middle Rank'."
"Originally, Li Youming only underwent two transformations of Qi and blood, and even in his youth, he could only be considered a First-Order Middle Rank 'Body Refinement Realm' martial artist."
"Now, he has jumped over First-Order Upper Rank, First-Order Limit, and Second-Order Lower Rank, reaching 'Second-Order Middle Rank'."
Li Yue's expression was calm.
If he were still an unranked 'wild god'.
Then the temple priest appointed using a divine power would at most reach First-Order Upper Rank.
"With a 'Second-Order Middle Rank' Li Youming, next year's offerings should be more precious, right…"
He muttered to himself.
For him.
The two grand sacrifices a year are too important.
Of course, the most important thing is the grand sacrifice offering!
A hundredfold increase.
First-order items can be amplified into fourth-order items.
What if he could obtain second-order items?
Although the grand sacrifice offerings cannot be contaminated with any direct cause and effect of the gods.
Although the temple priest is appointed by the gods, the items obtained by the temple priest will not have a direct cause and effect with the gods.
Therefore—
The items obtained by the temple priest can also become grand sacrifice offerings!
Li Yue opened the [Personal Task].
The [Personal Task—One] already showed that it was completed and the reward could be claimed.
He immediately claimed the reward.
Instantly—
Two divine powers appeared out of thin air in his body.
Two first-order 'Blessing Divine Talismans' that looked radiant appeared in front of him, quietly floating.
"Blessing Divine Talisman."
"Who is better to bestow it upon?"
He looked towards the outside of the Earth God Temple.
… …
At this time, in front of the Earth God Temple.
Li Youming felt his own changes, his face full of disbelief.
Is this me?
He stretched out his hands to look, are these still his hands?
He felt that at this moment, he was ten times better than he was in his youth!
Moreover, within his body—
A kind of Qi was born.
That is not the True Qi that is born when martial arts are cultivated to the Second-Order 'True Qi Realm'.
But a kind of Qi that gave him an ethereal feeling.
Not only that.
He also felt that he had mastered five spells!
One is called 'Lesser Golden Blade Technique', which is performed through the Qi in the body, equivalent to a Second-Order Middle Rank martial artist's strike.
One is 'Lesser Cloud Mist Body Protection Technique', which can condense clouds and mist for defense, resisting a full blow from a Second-Order Middle Rank martial artist.
One is 'Underground Divine Travel Technique', which can travel ten miles underground at a time.
One is 'Disease-Removing Talisman Water Technique', which can draw talismans and melt them into talisman water to treat some simple ailments.
As for the last one—
It is called 'Divine Prayer Technique'!
It can invite the power of the gods to slay demons, eliminate evil, and cut down ghosts!
"Li Youming thanks Lord Zhang Yue for his grace!"
"Li Youming will do his best to walk the world on behalf of Lord Zhang Yue!"
He said excitedly and trembling.
Originally, he thought that becoming the temple priest of Lord Zhang Yue was just becoming a temple priest.
Now he discovered—
It turns out that becoming a temple priest and walking the world on behalf of Lord Zhang Yue is not just empty talk!
He has ten times more power than before!
This is a power no weaker than a Second-Order Middle Rank 'True Qi Realm' martial master!
A martial master of the True Qi Realm.
Even in the county town, their status is not low.
And he, Li Youming, in just an instant, went from an old and frail First-Order Middle Rank 'Body Refinement Realm' martial artist to a Second-Order Middle Rank 'True Qi Realm' martial master!
At this moment—
More and more villagers came from all directions.
While listening to the others' vivid explanations, while looking at Li Youming's amazing changes, they opened their mouths wide and hurriedly knelt down.
Lord Zhang Yue actually manifested a miracle!
This is the Land Lord of their Li Family Village!
Many people brought incense and hurriedly lit it, respectfully offering incense to Lord Zhang Yue.
"Lord Zhang Yue! Please bless my son to be safe and successful in the county town! This believer will offer you incense every day!"
"Lord Zhang Yue! Please bless my family to be healthy, without illness or pain…"
"Lord Zhang Yue… I want to get rich! Please bless me to find money when I go out…"
"Lord Zhang Yue! I am thirty-two years old and haven't married a wife yet, you must bless me to find a beautiful and virtuous woman…!"
The villagers began to pray devoutly.
Many people used to worship the Land Lord just as a formality.
Not many sincerely prayed.
After all, no one had ever seen the Land Lord really manifest a miracle.
But now it's different.
The Land Lord has truly manifested a miracle!
Who doesn't want to receive the protection of the gods?
"Uncle Youming's aura…"
Village Chief Li Deyang's pupils shrank, and he looked at Li Youming in shock.
Others were shocked by the huge changes that had taken place in Li Deyang, but as a First-Order Middle Rank 'Body Refinement Realm' martial artist who had experienced two transformations of Qi and blood.
He could feel that Li Youming's aura had become much more terrifying!
"It feels…"
"It feels like those powerful martial masters in the county town!"
"Could it be that Uncle Youming became the temple priest of Lord Zhang Yue, and Lord Zhang Yue allowed Uncle Youming's strength to increase by a large margin?"
"Is this the power of the gods?"
Li Deyang's heart was filled with shock and envy.
It turns out—
Devoutly believing in the gods has such amazing benefits!
"What martial arts are the only way."
"Can you become a second-order martial master in an instant by practicing martial arts hard?"
"Devoutly believing in Lord Zhang Yue is the only way!!"
Li Deyang immediately bowed down with incomparable piety.
He wanted to improve too much!
-----
Eh?"
"Unexpectedly, two more 'Grade A Believers' have emerged at once?"
In the [Divine Realm], a trace of surprise appeared on Li Yue's face.
Grade A Believers—
That is equivalent to ten Grade B Believers, and can provide him with a hundred strands of incense wish power every day.
In just ten days, the incense wish power provided by a Grade A Believer is enough to condense into a divine power.
Any Grade A Believer is undoubtedly one of the most precious treasures of the gods.
And it is not easy for a believer to reach Grade A.
It's not just that you can be devout enough.
It also requires you to extremely agree with this god, and even be extremely in awe and extremely believe in this god from the bottom of your heart!
"Two 'Grade A Believers', one is Li Youming, which is within my expectations."
"After all, becoming a temple priest, his strength directly rose to the second-order middle rank, and his faith transformation is very normal."
"But the other one is actually Village Chief Li Deyang…"
"I remember before, he was just a 'Grade D Believer'…"
"Skipping 'Grade C Believer' and 'Grade B Believer' at once to become a 'Grade A Believer'?"
"Somewhat interesting…"
"What he seeks is…"
Li Yue looked at Village Chief Li Deyang kneeling on the ground.
The 'Land Register' on the side automatically opened, showing Li Deyang's life deeds.
And he also heard Li Deyang's devout prayer in his ear.
