Chapter 185: Official Appointment, Taoist Becomes a Taoist
At the foot of the peak, with the help of Qian Geng, the Mao god of the Yunyu Temple, Ji Ming summoned back King Anliu without much trouble. King Anliu was a catfish demon who was good at using dirty water.

During the process of Ji Ming's surrender, he did not avoid Qian Geng at all, which was also a deliberate display of his strength.

Qian Geng had already seen the White Bone Heart Bead and the One-breath Great Capturing Technique in the Iron Prison Temple, so he specially used the Golden Evil Bag and the Firewood Talisman to deal with King Anliu.

Qian Geng was indeed extremely surprised when he saw this, and his attitude towards Ji Ming changed again, becoming much more serious.

As expected, everything here is empty except one's own strength, which can most directly reflect a cultivator's future potential.

Neither the Fire-Head God nor King Anliu had any trouble with him, nor did they perform any sorcery or magic that seemed new to him. It was estimated that neither of them were very powerful figures in the Yunyu Temple.

Ji Ming didn't know that the thunder-chip nail in his hand was too strong to suppress his Yin body.

As soon as Mao Shen was summoned, he was struck by a bolt of lightning, which reduced his ten points of Taoism by three, and this was done without any intention.

The old man Hu Hu originally did not want to respond to the call, but unexpectedly Qian Geng came to the altar in person to communicate, and he tricked him into coming over and defeated him in one fell swoop.

After that, he took Qian Geng to Qingping Rock. After meeting the three high-ranking Taoist priests on the rock, Qian Geng realized that this was an assessment for Taoists, and he was just a small part of it.

This discovery made him feel bitter and insignificant. He looked more and more like a subjugated Yaksha guardian beside Ji Ming.

Throughout the entire "test of inviting gods", everyone discovered that the most difficult part was not how to subdue the gods, but how to invite them over.

Many people took two or three god cards, but no one responded to him. He was so anxious that he was sweating and asked others for help on the rock. But how could the fish, which had been frightened, be caught again?

Taoists are assessed every three years, and they also have to prepare materials for rituals, elixirs, talismans and other items, which cost a lot, both overtly and covertly.

I passed the exam recently, and I have to make preparations all over again for the next three years. I have to balance spiritual practice and secret cultivation. I really don't know how long I will have to spend.

These people sighed on the rocks, some were still trying without giving up, while some who had already given up could only pray in their hearts that they would not meet an examiner like Luo Ji again next time.

After sitting on the rock for five days, everyone has returned to the rock one after another.

At this time Luo Ji also began to count everyone's results. The best among them was not Ji Ming, but the monk Jueguang on Peak Yi.

He took five god tablets and subdued five Mao gods as he wished, but Ji Ming only took four conservatively, so he had to come in second place.

After the counting was completed, Luo Ji felt everyone's gazes and smiled, "In this assessment, those who can subdue the hairy gods can go to the upper mansion to receive a set of magic clothes and a sword.

In addition, there are three plates of pearls, several elixirs, a book of true magic and secret skills, and 3,360 talisman coins. "

After these words were spoken, all the Taoists on the rock were still staring at Luo Ji, waiting for the most important thing after she announced that she would become a Taoist disciple.

"Awakening Light!"

Luo Ji suddenly called out the name and spread out her hands. A box appeared in her palms. She said, "Although I don't like your style, this is your reward, and I, Luo Ji, will not deduct it."

"Thank you, Uncle Luo." Jueguang took the box and bowed with his hands folded.

"Golden boy!"

Luo Ji shouted again, and Ji Ming stepped out from the crowd and also got a box.

As soon as I got the box, I could smell the aroma of medicine. When I opened it, I found that the box contained a hundred-year-old piece of Polygonatum sibiricum.

Ji Ming then thanked him politely on the rock. This Huangjing plus the Beizhu Lingdan obtained in the assessment were enough for him to complete the Chao Yuan Shen Manifestation and advance to the third level of foundation building.

The top-quality Ludan and the hundred-year-old Huangjing, these two treasures were worth his efforts.

Except for these two people, no third person will receive the reward. This is the same as in Fengkun Mountain, where there are only two people who receive the reward.

After the reward-giving session, all the Taoists on the rock suppressed their envy and thought that it was time for you to announce the candidates for the underworld officials, as this was related to everyone's future jobs in the underworld.

"In addition." Luo Ji looked around and said with a smile: "In addition, your Taoist membership will be transferred from Taiping Mountain to the Underworld of the Underworld, and you will officially become a candidate for the Underworld."

Beside Luo Ji, the two high-ranking monks who had been in the background stood up at this moment. They each took out a yellow ochre scroll and slowly unfolded it in their hands. "This is the list of candidates!"

Taoist Yi Yifeng's face flushed with joy and he asked in a trembling voice.

Before the two high priests spoke, the guardian gods and spiritual children of Zhenjun's palace had already arrived outside the rock. They used the rock as a platform, erected eight trigrams paper banners and five elements sutra pillars, and chanted in unison.

"The silver light of the azure sky shines on the three peaks, and the brocade cloud screen reflects the palace.

The immortals obey the laws, and the underworld officials appear one after another.

Fair prosecution accumulates morality, and effective governance accumulates merit.

From now on, the heterodox sects will be separated from each other, so don’t let the South Heaven cause chaos in the universe.”

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard and knew that this was the prelude to appointing an official. At the same time, they also knew that unless they did their homework early, they would definitely be appointed as minor officials in the underworld and would not get any lucrative positions.

On the rock, Zhang Xiaoyuan, Jueguang, and Ji Ming were all staring at the two high-ranking officials in charge of the List of Yin Officials.

"The True Lord has commanded," the high-ranking monk on the left said, "The difference between immortals and mortals is like the difference between yin and yang. You work hard day and night, causing the yang fire to advance and the yin talisman to retreat; the six roots to vibrate and the five energies to turn. On this day when your Taoism is making progress, your mortal roots have not been cut off and your worldly ties are hard to eliminate.

Worried about how hard it is to obtain the Dao, and worried about how hard it is to get rid of greed and anger, I have appointed you as officials of the underworld, so that you can observe the sufferings of the world in the underworld, accumulate virtues in the underworld, and develop a heart that wants to transcend the world.

From this point on, one can determine worldly blessings and disasters, and decide life and death in the world. As one makes merit, one will be promoted step by step.

Therefore, I give you this order, and you should listen respectfully! "

Everyone was dazzled by what they heard, especially the sentence "determines the world's misfortunes and blessings, and determines the life and death of the world." This sentence alone clearly shows the power of the underworld.

No matter how small this power is, it is still the power of the underworld, the power of the underworld. Mortals in the world can only accept it, otherwise they will be marked dead on the underworld's register and their souls will be gone.

There is also the sentence "When you have made contributions, you will be promoted step by step." This sentence gives everyone the goal of being promoted to a Taoist official in Tiancao. That is the real Daxiao, a real immortal.

Even Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others couldn't help but breathe heavier. They already knew the result, but it was not as reassuring as hearing it with their own ears.

After the person on the left finished speaking, the high priest on the right stepped forward and unfolded the scroll in his hand.

"In compliance with the order of the True Lord: Confer Liu Ling as the Sun-Wandering God of the Netherworld at the foot of Cigu Mountain in Qingping, and grant him the Netherworld treasure, the Soul-Falling Bell, as well as two assistant officers, a chief and deputy wandering general, a group of Netherworld messengers, and a group of Netherworld soldiers."

"Thank you, Master."

The inconspicuous Taoist with a garlic nose walked forward with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, came to the center of attention, and leaned over to express his gratitude in the direction of Zhenjun's residence.

Zhang Xiaoyuan glanced at Liu Ling. This underworld official of the Sun-Watching God originally belonged to him, but he just didn't want it.

He is the Taoist seed of the mountain and the direction of the younger generation of the Three Peaks and One Prefecture. How can he indulge in enjoyment so early? He should challenge himself in the second battle, otherwise he will look down on himself.

This is also the reason why he gave up the reward for the test of inviting gods.

He had more than enough, there was no need to take more, as this would be detrimental to the morale of the mountain. He also did not want to inherit the position of True Lord in the future and lead a group of selfish people.

Zhang Xiaoyuan suddenly realized that his perspective on things had changed without him realizing it. This might be what his master meant by "the mind of a leader."

The appointment of officials was still going on, and the palace awards were being read out.

"In compliance with the order of the True Lord: Appoint Bao Lihong as the deputy soul-catching envoy of the Zexia Yinsi, a disciple of Tian Qing Da Fang. He is given a Yin judicial instrument, a funeral whip, three Yin messengers, and four squads of Yin soldiers."
