Gathering most of the people in Ren Town and the nearby villages to offer incense and watch the show was something that only the richest man in the town, Ren Fa, could do.
This wasn't because he was highly respected, but because he was rich. Having money meant having power. In this chaotic world, having money and power meant that there was basically nothing that couldn't be done.
"Alright, leave this matter to me.”
Ren Fa patted his chest and left in a hurry.
Ninth Uncle did not idle either. Instead, he went up the mountain and reported to Ren Wei.
However, he did not climb up the mountain. Instead, he walked into the dense forest where no one was and directly poured his magic power into a token in his hand.
This was a token given to him by Ren Wei. With the token, he could freely enter the Demon Territory's space for the first time and then arrive at a certain place in the Nine Yin Mountain. It could also be considered as having a little authority in the Demon Territory.
Of course, this authority was given by Ren Wei, and Ren Wei could take it back at any time.
As soon as he entered the Demon Territory, Ninth Uncle saw Ren Wei sitting on the throne of the Snake King.
"Your Majesty, the Mountain God Temple has been built. We are going to gather the nearby people tomorrow and invite you into the temple.”
Ninth Uncle bowed respectfully.
" Alright, you've worked hard during this period of time. This King is fair in rewards and punishments. I can see that your cultivation is stuck at the peak of the Great Wizard realm. If you want to advance further, you'll have to spend a lot of effort. I have a Vermilion Fruit here that might save you ten years of hard work.”
Ren Wei nodded and threw out a jade bottle.
If he wanted the horse to run, he naturally had to let the horse eat grass.
Ninth Uncle's performance this month had been observed by Ren Wei.
The Vermilion Fruit was a gift from the demons below. He didn't have it anyway. After all, zombies breathed in and out Yin Qi and resentment. Therefore, he might as well give it to Ninth Uncle.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ninth Uncle took the jade bottle and revealed a hint of joy on his face.
The depletion of spiritual energy was already an extremely rare treasure.
Perhaps this Vermilion Fruit could allow him to take another step forward and step into the Earthly Master Realm that he had always dreamed of.
——
"The day has finally come."
After Ninth Uncle left, Ren Wei stood up from his throne and opened his palm in front of him. A light flashed.
The light faded, and a wooden staff appeared in Ren Wei's hand.
The wooden staff was covered with cracks, as if it was pieced together from fragments.
This was the result of his one month of hard work.
In this month, he had walked to every corner of the Nine Yin Mountain and collected the fragments of this wooden staff.
These fragments were the fragments of the scepter that represented the authority of the former mountain god of the Nine Yin Mountain when he died.
They were scattered in every corner of the Nine Yin Mountain.
It was also because Ren Wei had the bloodline of an empress that he was sensitive to earth qi, so he could sense that these fragments were extraordinary.
Tomorrow, Ren Wei would use the power of incense from all living beings to refine this wooden staff again and gather the power of the mountain god.
——
Early the next morning, at the foot of Nine Yin Mountain, there was a sea of people. There were more than ten thousand people gathered here.
Basically, every household in Ren Town and the surrounding villages had people coming.
Moreover, they came here voluntarily. No one forced them.
Because Ren Fa had promised that he would receive three copper coins for a single incense stick.
Three cents was equivalent to an adult's income for a day.
Now, they only needed to offer incense to get it. Moreover, the Mountain God Temple even included lunch. Such a good thing attracted most of the people in Ren Town.
Fortunately, Ninth Uncle and Ren Fa were prepared. The security team came early to maintain order and stabilize the situation.
"Old Master Ren's rebuilding of the Mountain God Temple this time is a great merit.”
"The Mountain God Temple on Mount Jiuyin has collapsed for almost thirty years. What do you think Old Master Ren is thinking?”
"Shh, you guys don't know, right? It's said that Old Master Ren turned into a zombie and was destroyed by Ninth Uncle. The Ren family lost the protection of their ancestors, so they set up a mountain god temple to beg the mountain god for protection.”
……
The crowd was bustling with activity, and everyone was whispering to each other.
At the entrance of the temple, Ninth Uncle was dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a mahogany sword. He looked like he was trying it out. He looked up at the sun from time to time.
When the sun was almost nine o'clock, Ninth Uncle nodded at Ren Fa, Qiu Sheng, and the others.
"The auspicious time has arrived. Please summon the statue!"
Qiu Sheng took a step forward and shouted after receiving Ninth Uncle's signal.
Instantly, everyone quieted down and turned their gazes to the Mountain God Temple.
At the entrance of the temple, sixteen strong men carried a statue that was carved from a whole stone and was about three meters tall. They began to enter the temple.
This statue was basically made according to Ren Wei's image, but it was changed into the clothes of an ancient general. He held an ape in his hand and a tiger at his feet, looking majestic.
The statue weighed three thousand pounds. If these sixteen strong men were not carefully selected, they would not have been able to lift it.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, the statue was placed firmly in the hall.
The Mountain God Temple could only accommodate a limited number of people. Other than the highly respected elders of Ren Town and some rich and powerful bureaucrats and businessmen, the rest were blocked outside.
However, the door of the Mountain God Temple was wide open. Even if one stood outside, one could see the mighty appearance of the statue.
Ninth Uncle moved the altar out and walked in front of the altar with the Seven Star Steps. He performed a sword technique and burned some talismans that seemed to have extraordinary power.
Instantly, everyone could not take their eyes off him.
After all, there were too few entertainment methods in this era.
And Ninth Uncle's set of tricks looked quite entertaining.
"Mountain God, please return!"
Suddenly, Ninth Uncle roared and stood solemnly in front of the statue.
