In this way, it can be considered a big step forward toward his goal of revitalizing Daoist skills.

Having made up his mind, Lin Beichen immediately took action. He relied on his memory to contact a local publisher, asking them to print the books he compiled about the basic knowledge of Daoist skills.

Since those people chose to believe in him, Lin Beichen certainly wouldn’t let them down. Moreover, in order to rejuvenate Daoist skills and uphold justice in the world, he can be said to have showcased his best abilities.

During this period, for the venue issue of the Daoist branch, he also utilized his connections. He eventually decided to locate the branch in a place that was neither too remote nor too quiet.

That day, many people captured the scene of Lin Beichen casting a spell. One person might fake it, but so many people simultaneously witnessed for Lin Beichen, naturally attracting a lot of attention.

Moreover, with extensive media coverage, Lin Beichen has undoubtedly become the most renowned Daoist at the moment.

Thus, when Lin Beichen announced the establishment of the Daoist branch in this city, welcoming those interested in learning Daoist skills to join, the outside of the branch was already bustling with people.

Even Lin Beichen, who was used to big crowds, couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. He didn’t expect his influence to be so substantial.

Now that the Daoist branch was established, Lin Beichen started teaching the members some basic spells. From those with a solid foundation and outstanding performance, he selected one as the acting president.

He couldn’t stay here forever. He has to go to other places to promote Daoist skills and spread Daoist culture. He can’t spend his whole life in this place.

Although many people here believe in him and support him, this is only a part of the country. The task of revitalizing Daoist skills is still daunting; he absolutely cannot slack off.

After handing over his tasks to the acting president, Lin Beichen planned to immediately set off for Port City.

Originally, he had planned to go over there a while ago, but the branch matters delayed him quite a bit. Now that things are almost settled, he can head to Port City with peace of mind.

Just as Lin Beichen had come downstairs from his home, he ran into an old acquaintance.

Seeing him, Lin Beichen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. The person in front of him was Ji Fan, who had a contest with him not long ago.

Could it be that even after witnessing his Daoist skills, Ji Fan still thinks he’s a fraud? Lin Beichen secretly wondered.

He initially wanted to avoid Ji Fan and leave, but he distinctly felt that Ji Fan had something to say to him when he passed by.

So Lin Beichen stopped, signaling with his eyes for him to speak quickly if he had something.

Ji Fan scratched his head, struggling to say a word for a long time. He seemed to be finding it hard to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen also lost his patience and was about to leave. He didn’t have time to hang around with Ji Fan here.

Ji Fan hurriedly grabbed him, looking embarrassed, and said, "Uh... Master Lin...it was I who didn’t recognize Mount Tai and offended you earlier... I hope you can forgive me... Also..."

He suddenly blushed and stammered, "I also want to join the Daoist studies...and wish to acknowledge you as my mentor..."

Lin Beichen looked at him in surprise, not expecting Ji Fan to make such a request. Ji Fan lowered his head in embarrassment, as he heard Lin Beichen say with a smile in his tone, "Of course."

Lin Beichen was genuinely pleased with Ji Fan’s honesty. After all, they were somewhat opponents before, and now they had become comrades-in-arms in the same camp.

Putting aside these things, just taking the matter of Ji Fan acknowledging him as a mentor was something Lin Beichen didn’t see coming.

This wasn’t just simplicity; it was clear that this person was very interested in Daoist skills; otherwise, he wouldn’t make such a decision.

You should know that it was him who had drawn the media’s attention back then. He made several inappropriate remarks in front of the media, vowing to embarrass Lin Beichen. Yet, here came a major reversal; no one would find it easy to accept such an outcome.

However, Ji Fan ignored the online skepticism and ridicule and openly recognized Lin Beichen as his mentor. Such spirit is truly commendable. Lin Beichen couldn’t help but feel more admiration for Ji Fan in his heart.

"What shall we do next? The media has started promoting extensively; I’m sure before long, you, Master, will be known by everyone!" Ji Fan said excitedly.

His words undoubtedly reminded Lin Beichen. If this continues, Lin Beichen will surely become another public figure. His influence will be no less than when he advised the Huo Group.

However, this was not the outcome Lin Beichen wanted. What he wanted was the revival of Daoist skills, not his own fame. In contrast, he hoped to remain as low-key as possible. After all, Daoists, in essence, remain a very sensitive group now. If he becomes too high-profile, it will only bring him trouble. At that time, it will be detrimental to the revival of Daoist skills.

Lin Beichen pondered what to do next. According to his plan, the next step should be to promote the knowledge of Daoist skills through the media. But Ji Fan’s joining was somewhat unexpected, and this factor he had to consider.

He sighed and said, "Currently, there is no foolproof solution. Don’t rush; just wait for a bit."

This answer was obviously not satisfactory to Ji Fan. He always felt that Lin Beichen was hiding something from him, but he dared not say anything. After all, he was indeed the one who had been causing trouble for Lin Beichen. If possible, Lin Beichen certainly didn’t want to deal with him. Thinking of this, Ji Fan couldn’t help but regret his previous actions.
