I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2591 - 2592: Ordinary People Do Not Count as Breaking the Precepts

Chapter 2591: Chapter 2592: Ordinary People Do Not Count as Breaking the Precepts

Because I was the only one in the car, Lin Yi drove very fast, covering the over 600-kilometer journey in less than five hours.

Due to the time, Lin Yi didn’t head directly to Longhu Mountain but instead went to Tongdu City, about 30 kilometers away from Longhu Mountain.

Compared to Zhong Hai, Tongdu City is not very bustling, with a population of just over one million.

But although it is small, it has all the necessary facilities, and the lifestyle amenities here are very comprehensive.

The leisurely, comfortable feeling is something Zhong Hai cannot provide.

Besides, on the street, Lin Yi saw many Daoist priests wearing Daoist robes.

The locals seemed to be used to seeing these people and thought it was quite normal.

Scenes like this are not often seen in Zhong Hai.

Lin Yi checked his watch; it was already after four in the afternoon. He planned to stay here for the night and go to Longhu Mountain the next day.

After wandering around the city a bit, Lin Yi parked the car in front of a small restaurant.

But he didn’t hurry to get out; instead, he spent some time looking at an SF Express package.

Inside was only a copy of the "Zhou Yi Can Tong Contract" without anything else.

Which means the system didn’t give him an identity; he had to find a way to become part of the Daoist community himself.

This made it seem much simpler.

In the province, there are over a thousand Daoist temples, big and small, and Tongdu City is known as the Daoist capital, so finding a temple to become a priest is not difficult here.

With that decided, Lin Yi unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, stretching his body a bit, planning to eat first, and then explore the local specialties.

Entering the small restaurant, Lin Yi ordered one meat and one vegetable dish, both local specialties.

While eating, he also video called Ji Qingyan, and the meal lasted until after six in the evening.

After the meal, Lin Yi drove around the city and soon arrived at his destination.

Jinyinhai Bath Center!

Seeing the fancy decorations at the entrance and the luxury cars parked outside, Lin Yi felt he’d found the right place. freewёbnoνel.com

After finding a parking spot, Lin Yi walked toward the bath center.

"Hey, hey, Daoist Master, I see you’ve been wandering around for a while, why not come in and sit a bit?"

The speaker was a young man in a suit with a name badge on his chest, appearing to be a lobby manager or similar role.

"I am a person of cultivation, and it is absolutely unsuitable for me to come to such places. Please do not tempt me to break my vows and clear rules."

The speaker was wearing a gray Daoist robe, and though not young, appeared to be about the same age as Lin Yi.

Unlike typical Daoists, he didn’t have the usual simple and unadorned look but seemed a bit sly.

"We’ve launched a new service here, all pure amateurs, nothing improper, so it doesn’t count as breaking vows."

"Oh, I see, please do show me quickly."

Lin Yi: ???

Amateurs don’t count as breaking vows?

That’s some bizarre logic.

Seeing the young Daoist entering, Lin Yi followed him in.

"Come, come, sir, please come inside."

The manager was noticeably more polite towards Lin Yi.

Having worked in this industry for a few years, he could instinctively tell Lin Yi was a big spender.

Once inside, Lin Yi looked around, feeling dissatisfied with the interior decoration and environment.

It seemed like the establishment spent all their money on the facade.

The inside was somewhat lacking in quality.

Seeing Lin Yi’s displeased expression, the manager smiled and asked:

"Sir, is there anything you find unsatisfactory here?"

"It feels a bit lacking. If you have some extra funds, you might consider some renovation."

The lobby manager’s face changed. He was just being polite, and Lin Yi started critiquing thoroughly, acting as if he were an insider.

Running a business, encountering people like Lin Yi was the most annoying.

No money spent, yet pointing around as if he were someone important.

"Experts see the doorways, amateurs see the fun, maybe there’s some design you don’t understand, and casually critiquing isn’t ideal."

"You can say I look ugly, but calling me an amateur, I won’t agree with."

"Hmm? Are you also in this industry?"

Lin Yi took out a business card from his pocket.

"I am the lifetime honorary vice chairman of the Zhong Hai Bath Association. Here is my card; you can verify it online, genuine and without deception."

Seeing the gold-embossed card in Lin Yi’s hand, the lobby manager was awestruck.

"My apologies, Mr. Lin Yi, please come inside."

Guided by the manager, Lin Yi reached the front desk, where the previously mentioned Daoist glanced at him, showing a bit of envy.

To become an honorary lifetime vice chairman of the Bath Association, how much money must he have spent?

"What’s the most expensive package you have here?"

"The most expensive is 1888," the female receptionist said.

"Give me two."

"Sir, do you have other friends joining you?" the lobby manager asked.

Lin Yi shook his head, "I feel an affinity with this master here and wanted to treat him, to make a friend."

Seeing Lin Yi wanting to pay for him, the Daoist was taken aback, not expecting such a good fortune.

"I haven’t done anything to earn this, sir, you..."

"Don’t worry, I mean you no harm."

After finishing the card transaction, Lin Yi and the young Daoist headed inside together.

First, they took a simple shower and then returned to the suite.

"Hey buddy, we don’t even know each other, and you’re setting me up with a Big Treasure Sword right off the bat; I find it a bit hard to accept."

"I don’t mean anything else, just want to understand some things from you."

"Hmm? What things?"

"Let me introduce myself first; my name is Lin Yi, from Zhong Hai," said Lin Yi. "What’s your name?"

The Daoist looked at Lin Yi defensively, "You’re not going to report me, right? The police can’t touch this kind of stuff."

"Why would I report a Daoist like you?" Lin Yi said:

"First, what’s your name?"

"Li Yongnian."

"Which temple are you a Daoist of?"

"Shangqing Palace on Longhu Mountain."

Lin Yi’s eyes twinkled; he had a vague impression of that place.

Seems like a very large and nationally renowned temple.

"Are you guys hiring now?"

"Hiring?"

Only then did Li Yongnian realize he might not be from Zhengyi Temple, so it wasn’t much of an issue.

"Yes, we are. Do you have any plans?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Are there any specific requirements?"

"Really, you seem quite wealthy, why want to become a Daoist? Wouldn’t you enjoy life more outside?"

"That’s my business, don’t ask further," Lin Yi said:

"If I wanted to join your temple as a Daoist, are there any requirements?"

"There are definitely requirements," Li Yongnian said:

"You must be willing, healthy, have sincere faith, be patriotic and law-abiding, have at least a middle school education, and recite the ’Mystical Sect Daily Morning and Evening Prayers,’ learn the ’Daoist Rituals,’ and...

"Spare me the lengthy nonsense; be straightforward."

"300,000 yuan."
