I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

Another world, the Great Xia.

8 PM.

Lu County, Qingfeng Temple.

Li Jun was busy in the room, making final preparations for the live broadcast.

The temple was poor. After he transmigrated to this world three years ago, he started posting videos about Taoist special effects on Douyin and selling his handicrafts, such as peach wood swords and amulets, on live streams to earn money to supplement his family's income.

The account "Riding a Bull Out of Hangu Pass" currently has nearly 100,000 followers and occasionally receives bad luck.

He plans to take advantage of his first winter break to see if he can make a breakthrough.

only……

The master strongly disagreed with this decision.

"Jun'er, stop!"

"The internet is not a lawless zone!"

Inside the room, the old Taoist priest looked at Li Jun with concern, his eyebrows furrowed together.

He doesn't know much about live streaming, but he knows a little bit about it.

Spreading feudal superstition is wrong!

I really don't want to see my apprentice, whom I raised like a grandson since childhood, end up working for the government.

"Don't worry, Master. I'm a positive role model and I promote the belief in science every day. These are just handicrafts, they're fine."

Li Jun was well aware of his master's worries and offered words of comfort with a smile.

There are even fortune tellers online; compared to them, selling handicrafts seems perfectly normal.

Besides, he didn't intend to make money by selling these things; posting videos to get his girlfriend's attention was the right way to go.

"But……"

The old Taoist priest grew even more worried and fixed his gaze on the lightning-struck peach wood sword placed on the table:

"Lying is wrong too!"

Li Jun felt a little guilty under his master's gaze, and subconsciously stuffed the electronic lighter in his hand into his pocket, and incidentally...

He turned to the side, blocking the view of the talisman plate next to him.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

What's wrong with you?

"Master, that's not right of you."

"The materials are all clearly stated, and 'lei' is electricity, so how can I be considered a fraud?"

"Aren't you being too harsh on me? The one who sold you the Zhenwu Emperor statue is a complete fraud, a total swindler!"

Li Jun said with a wronged expression.

Upon hearing the image of Zhenwu the Great, the old Taoist priest's imposing aura weakened, and his blood pressure actually rose somewhat.

The apprentice was filial. During his university years, he worked odd jobs and managed to save up 5,000 yuan to send back to the Taoist temple so that the old and worn-out statue of Zhenwu the Great that had been enshrined there for decades could be replaced with a new one.

Unexpectedly, I bought a defective product.

After three months of worship, the disciple only discovered the crack in the statue today after returning to offer incense.

"Liar! Scammer!"

"After knowing you for so many years, you even lied to an eighty-year-old man like me. You have no morals whatsoever!"

The old Taoist priest grew angrier the more he thought about it, and without caring about anything else, he stormed out of the room.

Li Jun was somewhat worried about his master's appearance.

Fearing the old man would come down the mountain overnight, Bangbang punched the boss twice.

However, the shouts that followed in the courtyard made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Judging from this, the Taoist priest's temper won't subside without him practicing the Eight Methods of Dragon Gate a few times.

"start!"

After listening for a while, when it was 8:30, Li Jun put on his master's treasured Taoist robe and opened the live broadcast room.

……

There weren't many viewers at the beginning of the live stream, so Li Jun chatted casually with a few netizens.

However, since his account had a foundation, many familiar nicknames soon appeared in the live stream.

"Wow! I never noticed before, little Taoist priest, you look incredibly handsome in this outfit! Have you ever considered becoming a beauty streamer?"

"What? You've seen the Taoist priest without clothes on? Did he go to sea before?"

"This is terrible! This is terrible! Could any fellow Daoist borrow a copy to speak with me? I have a friend..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Be careful, or the Taoist priest might strike you with a palm strike through the internet cable. Who can handle a nickname like 'Riding an Ox Out of Hangu Pass'?"

"Dear netizen, my name is 'Supreme Jade Emperor, the One Who Holds the Mandate of Heaven and Rulees the Calendar, Embracing Truth and Embracing the Dao.' Is there any taboo associated with this?"

"..."

Seeing the comments section gradually going off-topic, Li Jun smiled and said, "I'm still young, and I don't have any plans to make a living based on my looks for the time being. Also..."

"Everyone should trust science. Nicknames are just codes and don't have any special meaning."

The style of the live stream has always been like this, especially the nicknames, which are always the subject of jokes.

After all, the one who rode an ox out of Hangu Pass was simply too famous.

Ok……

Li Jun chose this nickname because he valued this point.

Taoist disciples, it's perfectly acceptable for them to ride on the coattails of their own patriarch's fame, right?

As the number of online users increased, the atmosphere became more lively.

Seeing that things had progressed sufficiently, Li Jun stopped chatting and picked up the products to begin introducing them.

"Fellow Daoists, today I'm showing you my newly completed masterpiece, a new, enhanced version of the peach wood sword, entirely handmade from lightning-struck wood!!"

"It is 105 centimeters long and weighs only 300 grams. It is moderately soft and hard and not easily worn."

"The sword is engraved with the Tianpeng Mantra on both sides, which is beautiful and imposing. The dragon pattern hilt is comfortable to hold."

"Fellow Daoists who like it can buy it and play around with it. It's only ninety-nine yuan, and I guarantee you'll be the coolest guy on the street!"

After the product introduction began, the comments in the live stream became increasingly peculiar.

"Host, host, will buying the peach wood sword affect my date with Xiaoqian tonight?"

"No, what's affecting your date with Xiaoqian isn't the peach wood sword, it's the thickness of your wallet."

Seeing the nonsensical comments flooding the live stream, Li Jun gave a serious reply.

"Host, do you get a ghost as a freebie if I buy a peach wood sword?"

"I won't deliver it. Please find it yourself, and be sure to let me know once you find it!"

"Can I fly on a peach wood sword after buying it?"

"You'll have to ask the airline if they allow it on board."

"Host, I live in Xiaorizi, can you deliver to my door?"

"Don't worry, dear, shipping is free with Dongfeng! No need for a positive review!"

"..."

While happily interacting with netizens, Li Jun fiddled with his phone to add links.

There weren't many, only two.

Making them by hand is too much work, and this is all the stock he has left recently.

Unlike amulets, these can be printed in minutes using printing plates.

The connection is established, but there's been no response.

Li Jun wasn't in a hurry.

The peach wood sword is said to be a handicraft, but it's really just a big toy; whether it can be sold or not is up to fate.

Anyway, I'm just chatting on the live stream, and I'm just killing time.

Moreover, he also has a small group of customers who enjoy cosplay.

After casually adding another hundred protective amulets, Li Jun's attention returned to the live stream.

"Um?"

He glanced at it once, and his expression turned strange.

"The Taoist priest possesses profound magical powers; a single palm strike of lightning can shatter a watermelon a hundred meters away. Would he really try to deceive you with a fake peach wood sword?"

"That's too small-minded, brother. Forget about peach wood swords; if you bought a talisman from the Taoist priest, even some ghostly passerby would have to kowtow to you!"

"Dude, I have to say something to you here. Sincerity is key. If you don't believe in the Taoist priest, you won't be able to ward off the negative influence of this peach wood sword you bought!"

"..."

The style of the comments suddenly changed, and Li Jun scrolled up thirty or forty comments before he understood what was going on.

It turns out it was that group of old bastards, stirring up trouble again.

It started when a netizen nicknamed "South City Night Watchman" asked in the live stream:

"Master, this is my first time watching your live stream. I'd like to ask if the peach wood swords you sell are genuine? Are they effective at slaying ghosts?"

Li Jun couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

This comment has a strange kind of appeal.

After thinking for a moment, he followed the formation and casually joked:

"Of course it's genuine. Every single one of them has been tested with palm lightning. It cuts through ghosts without a sound. If it doesn't work, you get a full refund, and I'll personally come out of seclusion to help you!"

The next second...

Li Jun saw that this netizen placed an order for a peach wood sword at lightning speed.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Good guy!

Brother, are you really that honest?
