Bati Shan's plan was to cure Jin Mo's illness, turn him into a believer, then use his influence to expand his own power, and finally become the largest religion in Goryeo.
But who would have known that he would be thwarted from the very first step? He couldn't cure Jin Mo, but Bati Shan was not willing to give up, so he directly used Divine Grace and Taboo things against Jin Enxi.
Then, by utilizing Jin Enxi's connections, he found these wealthy socialites to start with.
It just so happened that Sejong Zheng's recent energy had all been on Qin Palace and Busan Divine Ruins, so Bati Shan hadn't been discovered yet.
Bati Shan needed to hurry. After making these rich socialites into diehard followers, he would promote his Buddhism through their industries, forcing employees to worship and cultivate Buddhism, thus quickly amassing tens or even hundreds of thousands of followers.
Once the numbers reached that level, it would be difficult for Sejong Zheng's people to take him down.
