Chapter 137: Chapter 137: The Plan for the Revitalization of Fiery Cloud Abbey

Yaoyao clearly wasn’t entering the room for the first time. With practiced ease, she pulled a small stool over for herself. When she turned and saw her Seventh Brother still dawdling and not coming over, she rushed forward, grabbed his hand, and dragged him inside.

Gu Yu was reluctantly made to sit on the bed. He raised a long eyebrow, gesturing, “You can speak now!”

A smile appeared on Yaoyao’s small face as she recounted every detail of her idea to revitalize Fiery Cloud Abbey. She said with a conflicted expression, “Yaoyao doesn’t want to go back to the mountains, but she also doesn’t want to let down Master’s dying wish, Seventh Brother. Do you have any good ideas?” After speaking, Yaoyao looked at him unblinkingly with her big, dark, gleaming eyes, full of expectation.

“It’s not that there’s no way.” Gu Yu was momentarily stunned when he heard his sister’s request, but he quickly grasped the core issue. In truth, for his sister to make the abbey famous and her not wanting to return to the mountains wasn’t actually contradictory.

After all, there were many ways for an abbey to become famous. The most direct method was to make its unique aspects memorable. Over time, when people saw those things, they would recall the abbey; the association between memory and physical objects was the most enduring.

Gu Yu laid out his thoughts. Yaoyao fell into contemplation upon hearing him. “Unique things?” At that moment, her mind raced through the various items in the abbey; she even considered every blade of grass and every tree, but somehow, something was still missing.

“Yaoyao, it’s not that Seventh Brother is scolding you, but you usually seem so clever. How come you can’t figure it out at such a crucial moment?” Seeing that she still hadn’t grasped his hints after a long while, Gu Yu decided not to wait. He reached out, pulled open the drawer of the bedside table, and casually pulled out a yellow talisman, then waved it in front of his sister. Immediately after, he saw her eyes light up. He couldn’t help but smile, “Do you understand now?”

“Mm-hmm, I understand now! Seventh Brother, you’re so smart!” Yaoyao couldn’t stop nodding her small head, her eyes immediately sparkling. She hadn’t even thought of the talismans she drew herself! She knew that whenever pilgrims visited the abbey in the past, it was always to pray for safety and peace.

They would always ask for talismans. So, rather than recognizing the abbey, they recognized the peace talismans. And those talismans were all drawn by herself; Yaoyao was well aware that their power far surpassed ordinary peace talismans. Furthermore, Yaoyao could also draw many rare talismans. Thinking about it this way, it truly aligned with “unique” as Seventh Brother had put it.

As long as people knew the talismans were effective, then there’d be no worry about them forgetting the abbey. And the more people remembered it, the more renowned the abbey would become. Once enough popularity was gathered, she could ask Senior Uncle to go back and reopen its doors.

At that time, those who wanted talismans would surely come to the mountains, and then the abbey’s incense offerings and patronage would no longer be scarce. With the Earth-Shrinking Talisman, traveling back and forth wouldn’t even take half an hour. Senior Uncle could easily go during the day and return in the evening. This way, they could still gather together harmoniously, and it wouldn’t hinder the promotion and expansion of the abbey.

“Then… how do we let people know about these talismans?” The more Yaoyao thought, the more excited she became. For her, only one last question remained: how to make the talismans famous.

Regarding this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile: “Others might find it difficult, but we won’t.” He knew that his live stream room consistently had over a million viewers per session. This immense traffic made promotion utterly effortless. After several verifications, the netizens had long since recognized his sister’s abilities. At this crucial juncture, if talismans were to appear in the live stream, there was no doubt that those people would desperately clamor for them.

Gu Yu’s idea was a lottery: draw four or five winners online to receive talismans for free, creating a strong sense of scarcity through “hunger marketing.” Afterward, he would guide the netizens who wanted but didn’t win a talisman to go to the abbey to request one.

This online and offline model would be complementary, both satisfying the desires of those seeking talismans and allowing the abbey to flourish in popularity and patronage. As for how to implement it? He didn’t explain it too thoroughly to Yaoyao, because he already had a complete plan worked out. For him, having navigated the entertainment industry and witnessed countless traffic-driven stunts, this was child’s play.

Yaoyao left, feeling a bit dazed. She was already impatient to try it out. If the results were quick, she could even bring this good news to Master when she next went to the netherworld to escort those spirits.

“Right, I still need to discuss this with Senior Uncle!” Yaoyao realized this was a crucial step. She had to get on the same page with Senior Uncle first, as he might have to do a lot more work concerning the abbey.

And the outcome was surprisingly smooth. Qingyun didn’t find staying at the Gu family particularly interesting, and after a while, he felt a bit awkward. If it weren’t for the sake of mentoring his disciple well, he would have left long ago. Now, Yaoyao was offering him the chance to go back during ordinary times and only come over when he needed to teach his disciple. This was such a great opportunity that he was grinning from ear to ear and agreed instantly.

Two days later, Gu Yu’s plan was also meticulously organized and all set. For this, Yaoyao even moved her live stream time earlier.

“Now, let’s see the final results!” Gu Yu took a deep breath. As the moment approached, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. No matter how thorough the plan or how perfect the conception, until it was truly implemented, anything could still change.

In contrast, Yaoyao was much calmer. She directly started the live stream. Before she even began drawing names, the live stream room gave her a surprise: strands of glittering golden light emerged from the void. Immediately, they all fell into Yaoyao’s hand.

She carefully counted them, and her big, dark eyes immediately widened. Because there were a full six strands of merit; she should have only had three from her last live stream. So, this meant her participation in the variety show live stream was also being counted, and the two didn’t conflict. This way, her efficiency in accumulating merit directly doubled, and the thought alone was wonderful.

Moreover, subtly, as if by fate, she sensed that the heavens and earth had somewhat loosened the restrictions on live streams, perhaps due to her own advancement. Now, she could draw four people in a single live stream, which struck Yaoyao as a bit strange.

She always felt this live stream was too flexible. The old Daoist priest had said that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world; if you received something, you would eventually have to pay for it. Therefore, there must be something hidden within this live stream that she didn’t know about.

But she knew it, yet Yaoyao couldn’t possibly refuse right now; she could only take things one step at a time. For the brief moment she was lost in thought, by the time she came back to her senses, the live stream’s viewer count had already surpassed five hundred thousand.

The reason for such fierce momentum was that Seventh Brother had made an announcement a day before the live stream. Yaoyao composed herself, then sweetly opened her mouth and said, “Then let’s start the live stream!” “This time, we can draw four fated viewers!” As soon as these words were out,

netizens were momentarily stunned, then immediately became excited. Although it was just one extra slot, it also meant they had an increased chance of winning a prize, so how could they not be excited? Moreover, even if they didn’t win, they’d still get to watch another exciting show. From any perspective, it was worth it, which made them even more impatient. The comment section was scrolling so fast the words were illegible.
