I Pretended to Be a Shrine Priest, but Became a True Immortal

The assistant minister's mood had been rather sour lately. As a landed gentleman, he needed someone to pose as a temple priest and fool the county magistrate. There was a young scholar here who looked soft and delicate. He'd do... Wonder if he could fool the county magistrate. Ye Xuan's mood was rather sour too. As someone who had transmigrated, his cheat needed a few conditions met before it could activate. Offer incense through the divine way: the more people who believe in his deity, the more magical power he gets. But getting his fortune-telling business off the ground was proving difficult... Huh? You want me to be a temple priest? And you'll teach me everything, with meals and lodging included? Well, I have to take that offer. In a year of great calamity, the fields yielded nothing. Plague ran rampant throughout the kingdom, while demons and beasts swarmed down the mountains in a surging tide. A divine light appeared in the Land God Temple. The image of a Taoist in green robes emerged, towering a hundred thousand feet tall and reaching to the heavens. With a wave of his hand, countless demons and beasts were slain. The common folk fell to their knees and kowtowed. The kneeling assistant minister raised his eyes for a furtive glance. Staring wide-eyed at the imposing figure, he stammered, “Y-you...” Weren't you the fake temple priest I hired? How did you become a real immortal?!
