「Ten days later.」
Ten days passed, yet the talk surrounding Lu Zi showed no signs of stopping. Subtly, almost imperceptibly, his power and prestige grew more substantial.
In fact, many small towns had even begun spontaneously erecting statues and building temples in his honor.
"This is a living Saint! Confucius's teacher!"
That was the official reason, but the most fundamental one was the desire to be rewarded by Lu Zi in the future.
Discerning people had noticed that Lu Zi's first rewards had all gone to those closest to him. What did that mean? It was the classic case of "when one person achieves Enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"!
Even if future rewards were to be based purely on merit, what if one could establish even a slight connection with Lu Zi, or perhaps even get to know him...
'With Lu Zi's vast Divine Techniques, surely he could hear them chanting his name every day, right?'
