Reputation can be converted into tangible benefits. When others invite you to lecture at their place, not only do you receive remuneration, but you can also cultivate individuals who feel close to you, increasing the renown of Xuanke Temple.
Moreover, it can expand the recruitment scope.
The Taoist School does not restrict Taoist Temples from recruiting in other places, as long as the temple in the recruiting area consents.
However, such consent is rarely given.
Originally, Xuanke Temple only recruited in Shanyin County, a small county that almost never produced outstanding talents.
Now, Song Lin controls eight counties, yet even so, there remains the hidden danger of a talent shortage.
By befriending more temple masters and Taoists, fostering goodwill, and extending the recruitment range to other counties,
this is the benefit of reputation.
Without realizing it, Song Lin had arrived at Mingxing Peak.
