I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 183: Hai Yu Sect Master Requests to Confer the Water Official
After entering the Immortal Promotion Division, Ji Yunzi and others first went to the Xuanji Academy to verify their identities and household registrations, light up their soul life plates, and after receiving the green jade immortal plates that symbolized their identities, they rushed to the Chizhuan Academy to be granted the immortal certificates.

Only then can one truly become an immortal in the fairyland.

The Imperial Seal Court was large and bustling with activity, with countless monks coming and going, all of them in high spirits and beaming with joy.

The Imperial Decree Court was quite efficient, and after verifying his identity, Ji Yunzi was finally granted the immortal decree.

"Nanyang Dao, Ziyun Temple, Jiyunzi conferred the immortal title and immortal talisman."

As the names of the immortal officials were being called, a fairy talisman floated over.

Ji Yunzi took it in a hurry, not daring to be negligent. He followed the example of others and took it into his body. After saying goodbye to the conferring platform, he took a closer look at it.

This talisman is three-dimensional and is placed in the dantian, floating motionlessly.

Magic power is injected into it, and there is a vague sense of mystery in my heart. It seems that I still need to explore how to use it.

"After receiving this immortal scroll, will we become immortal officials from now on?"

Someone nearby couldn't help but beam with joy.

"At most, he has been admitted to the immortal register, but he cannot be called an immortal official."

Ji Yunzi replied subconsciously.

"quiet!"

The leader, Monk Zhaoxian, glared at them, shocking them so much that they quickly shut their mouths.

Everyone secretly groaned, thinking that they were so happy about being admitted into the immortal list that they forgot about this smiling tiger.
Ji Yunzi sighed inwardly, thought for a moment, and found an opportunity. He approached the cultivator who was recruiting talented people, calmly handed him a talisman, and said, "I was a bit reckless just now. I hope the Immortal will forgive me!"

The monk Zhaoxian accepted it calmly and nodded, saying, "It's understandable that you might be a bit unrestrained when you first enter the immortal realm. However, this is, after all, a sacred place for the immortals. A noble person doesn't like noise, so fellow Taoist, you should understand that, right?"

Ji Yunzi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

Only after the matter was settled did Ji Yunzi breathe a sigh of relief.

After everyone received the immortal talisman, they rushed to the selection hall, where their final appointment would be decided, which could be said to be the place where their destiny would be changed.

After entering the selection hall, the recruiting monk quickly approached a young monk sitting behind a desk, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Envoy Liu Yun, I have brought the people here."

The young monk nodded, and when he looked up, Ji Yunzi's whole body trembled.

Isn't this young Taoist the old master of Lu Temple, Liu Qingtan?

"Uncle Jiyun?"

Liu Qingtan's call made the monk Zhaoxian shudder all over, and his eyes changed when he looked at Ji Yunzi.

Ji Yunzi was secretly delighted and quickly approached, bowing and saying, "Your humble servant greets the Immortal!"

"Master, there's no need to be so distant." Liu Qingtan smiled, and glanced at the jade invitation token that Ji Yunzi had just worn on his waist. He asked knowingly, "Master, has also been admitted to the immortal register?"

"Yes, the Immortal Court is the general trend. I am shameless to try to curry favor with the powerful."

"Master, what you said is absolutely right!"

Liu Qingtan smiled, and after a few pleasantries, he glanced at the scroll in front of him and asked, "Master, did you join the Immortal Court this time to compete for the great Dao and make further progress? Or do you want to enjoy your remaining years in peace and happiness?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the look in Zhaoxian monk's eyes when he looked at Ji Yunzi changed.

Ji Yunzi was even more delighted and said thoughtfully, "Could the Immortal show me a way forward?"

Liu Qingtan smiled and said, "This is Master's path. Ultimately, it is Master who has to make the choice."

Ji Yunzi pondered for a moment and said, "I am over sixty years old and my time is running out. I still want to make further progress. Can I enter the Xuanbing Division?"

Liu Qingtan nodded, picked up the wolf-hair brush and started writing. In a short while, he had already recorded the names and then handed over a talisman.

"The junior would like to wish Uncle Master a smooth rise to the sky."

"Thanks to the grace of the Immortal."

Ji Yunzi did not dare to be arrogant. After taking the talisman, he bowed and expressed his gratitude, feeling very excited.

Unexpectedly, he met Liu Qingtan in an important department of the Immortal Court, and even more unexpectedly, he recognized him as his uncle-master.

Although he was only providing a little help within the scope of his authority, as a veteran in the industry, he knew that this little help was worth a thousand gold!
If there weren't so many people around, he would have wanted to stuff something in there to feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, when he turned to leave, Monk Zhaoxian caught up with him and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Envoy Liu Yun is an old acquaintance of mine. It's really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other."

Having said that, he calmly stuffed the talisman that Ji Yunzi had stuffed into his hand back.

Ji Yunzi declined, saying, "Since we are family, why should we be so polite, fellow Daoist?"

Monk Zhaoxian couldn't refuse and laughed, "Fellow Daoist, you are a straightforward person. Why don't you leave your contact information so that we can have a drink together when you are free?"

Ji Yunzi nodded: "That's exactly what I meant!"

The two exchanged contact information and then went their separate ways.

Ji Yunzi walked out of Zhuxiansi and looked at the pavilions and towers hidden in the clouds in the distance. He took a deep breath, walked away, and disappeared into the crowd like water entering the sea.

……

……

Prosperity, bustle, and noise... became the main theme after the Immortal Court recruited talents!
Lu Wujiu, who was in charge of the human skin book, could see the huge Immortal Palace clearly as if he was looking at the patterns on his palm with just a thought.

He sat cross-legged in the Tianshi Mansion, practicing silently while carefully observing the various cultivators in the Immortal Palace, and gradually immersed himself in it.

He saw abuse of power for personal gain, he saw integrity, and he also saw petty thieves trying to steal the jade stones used to build the fairy palace.

All kinds of absurd and bizarre things happened before his eyes, but he felt neither sad nor happy in his heart.

He neither promoted anyone nor punished them. He just watched quietly, with all kinds of thoughts churning in his mind.

With the establishment of the Immortal Court and the issuance of Immortal Banknotes, the Immortal Court has gradually accumulated wealth.

The reincarnation mechanism of the Cliff of Broken Souls is really too incredible. The elixir and spiritual liquid exchanged for a wisp of innate Yuan Qi can return ten times the innate Yuan Qi after reincarnation.

It looks like an inexhaustible gold mine.

Therefore, the resources for practicing the Fire Sword that previously restricted him will soon no longer be a problem.

This made him think about how to make the Immortal Court run according to his will.

"call……"

After a long time, Lu Wujiu took a deep breath, waved his hand, and a Yin Lu appeared in his hand.

Among the many problems he observed, there was a detail that seemed insignificant, but in his opinion, it was very important.

That is, he found more than once that some people complained or were surprised that the "Xianlu" was not worthy of its name.

Come to think of it, the Immortal Court claims to be the orthodox Xuanmen, but when the immortal talisman comes out, it is surrounded by evil spirits that suck blood and corrode bones.

Those in the know know that the Immortal Court is built on the Netherworld Samsara Path;
If you don't know the truth, you always have to waste time explaining.

In other words, Lu Wujiu wanted to gradually disappear from the Netherworld Reincarnation Path.

"The Yin Lu is the manifestation of the human skin book's authority. Changing its appearance shouldn't be difficult."

As Lu Wujiu was thinking, the aura of the Great Dao contained in the human skin book gradually emerged above the Yin Lu. An aura mixed with nine different Dao meridians then emerged above the Yin Lu - chaos, moderation, and equality.

"This is what it feels like to be a fairy!"

He nodded and was about to make the announcement when something suddenly occurred to him. The aura surrounding the Yin Lu suddenly changed dramatically.

However, a sharp aura like a sword beam emerged. This was the aura that came together from many attacking methods such as Fire Sword, Pure Yang Sword, Divine Thunder...

Magic power was injected into it, and a hint of chill was like a sword or fire, constantly swallowing and spitting out!

As his heart moved, the chill disappeared, and a sense of Taoism as gentle as sunshine and as soft as spring breeze emerged.

This is the gathering of the auras of many nourishing paths, such as the Water Path, the Star Path, the Dead Tree Resurrection Path...

Looking at this completely different path, Lu Wujiu gradually came up with an idea in his mind.

Once you are registered as an immortal, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. The first difference is better to be reflected in this Yin Lu.

Immortal talismans are divided into nine grades, so it is better to divide them into nine paths. Each path has different characteristics, which not only demonstrates the uniqueness of the immortal court, but also assists the cultivators in their practice.

“This move can be tried!”

Lu Wujiu nodded, but was not in a hurry to promote it immediately. He planned to try it on a small scale before promoting it on a large scale.

Then he closed his eyes again and began to practice with his eyes closed.

With a vast amount of innate Qi in his hands, he had reached the fourth level of Ran Zhen Dao and had quickly pushed forward to the fourth level of perfection, but now he encountered a bottleneck again.

Even though he used the huge immortal palace as a ritual to ascend the stairs, he still found it difficult to touch the threshold.

In the land of Jiudao, it is said that "fourth-class cultivators are common, but fifth-class cultivators are hard to find." So far, Lu Wujiu has only seen Guangxuan reach the fifth-class level.

Although Guangxuan seemed to have swallowed only the essence and blood of a few hundred casual cultivators when he ascended the stairs, in fact, he had swallowed an incalculable amount of essence and blood.

The Bodhisattva path he practiced involved peeling skin for paper, splitting bones for pens, and pricking blood for ink. The ritual of ascending the steps did not need to be accomplished all at once; it could be accomplished through gradual accumulation.

Therefore, during the hundreds of years that "Pang Chen" disappeared, he had been accumulating the rituals for ascending the ladder. The competition to select the sword master in Dongyuan was just the final step.

Now Lu Wujiu also realized the bottleneck of the fourth level that blocked countless people in the Nine Paths Land, and he had an idea of ​​breaking through it in his mind.

That is the way of the Fire God, or the way of the Fire Sword.

Thanks to the Baicao Frost that Hua Chaoge begged for mercy, his fire swordsmanship has reached the top three, and he is currently trying to collect nutrients for the next divine fire.

With the Immortal Court's great power gradually ruling over the Nine Paths, it should not be difficult to gather the resources for the fourth grade of cultivation.

However, compared to searching the nine places, there is one place that is richer!

While thinking about it, Xuanxin suddenly felt something and saw a figure coming straight towards the Tianshi Mansion.

The immortal officials on duty outside the Tianshi Mansion seemed not to see it and let it go out of the hall.

"Master Lu Jun of the Haiyu Sect pays homage to Master Lu Tianshi!"

Lu Wujiu was shocked and said casually, "Come in!"

"Squeak-"

The door opened, and footsteps were heard from outside the antique display case and the screen. After a while, a young scholar with white hair appeared in front of Lu Wujiu and said with a bow:
"Long admire!"

“I never thought that the Haiyu Sect, which disappeared for a thousand years, would see the light of day again!”

Lu Wujiu sighed and casually made a "sit" gesture.

Lu Jun lifted his robe and sat down in front of Lu Wujiu. "You are wrong, my friend. The Haiyu Sect has always been there, but we are just ordinary people who don't have the right to know!"

Lu Wujiu showed a sarcastic look on his face: "So, the nine great sects are all worthless?"

Lu Jun smiled slightly: "The one who understands me is the Heavenly Master!"

"Ha ha……"

Lu Wujiu sneered, "You commandeer a horde of demons, use the pretext of a seal to hide for a thousand years, and squeeze out the lifespan of the people. It seems you have big plans, fellow Daoist."

Lu Jun laughed and said, "Compared to you, fellow Daoist, I am nothing but a dwarf compared to a giant."

Lu Wujiu said, "So, the seal thing is really fake?"

Lu Jun laughed in silence. He had never expected to be tricked by Lu Wujiu. However, it didn't matter. He nodded and said, "It's not entirely true! A thousand years ago, a fire spirit indeed descended upon the world, tormenting all living things. I am doing my part to rid the people of this evil."

"What a great way to eliminate harm for the people! I wonder how the islanders of the Eighteen Seas would feel if they knew that the Haiyu Sect was squeezing out their lifespans?"

"Exchanging ten years of life for endless joy is worth it. At least we are happier than the people in the Nine Paths, aren't we?"

"I am not one of the common people, so how can I make choices for them?"

"Hahaha, fellow Daoist, now that you've shed your straw raincoat and hat, why don't you presumptuously hold the reins of the Nine Daos?"

"In this world, who of the nine great mystical sects sits there, and who of this poor Daoist cannot sit there?"

Lu Jun didn't want to argue anymore and just said casually: "That makes sense!"

Lu Wujiu also felt a little bored, so he simply got straight to the point: "One doesn't come to the temple for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Lu Jun said, "I have heard that Emperor Yin once appointed three officials."

Lu Wujiu nodded, vaguely guessing something in his heart.

Sure enough, Lu Jun continued, "It is said that no one has been selected for the Three Officials so far?"

Lu Wujiu nodded again.

"Then fellow Daoist, do you think I am qualified to take up the position of Water Officer?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of energy suddenly surged out of his body and swept through the Tianshi Mansion.

In an instant, Lu Wujiu was like a child on the beach, witnessing the huge waves that covered the sky and the sun, so vast and powerful that it was hard to breathe.

Seeing it at the top of the Four Tops, it implies some kind of indescribable water power!

"To be honest with you, Master Tian, ​​I've been in seclusion for a thousand years and have already refined the eighteen seas of the East China Sea. Although I'm a fourth-class cultivator, I'm better than a fifth-class cultivator. I'm worthy of being a water officer. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

Lu Jun withdrew his breath and looked at Lu Wujiu with a smile on his face.

Refining the Eighteen Seas?

Lu Wujiu remained calm upon hearing this, his heart pounding wildly.

No wonder the Haiyu Sect has been hiding in the depths of the East China Sea for thousands of years. It turns out they are doing this!

As his thoughts raced, he said calmly, "The selection of the Three Officials is based on merit; any cultivator in the world can serve. Although you are from the East Sea, you are also a citizen of the Nine Paths, so you are naturally qualified to serve as a Water Official. However, you have not yet made any achievements, so how can you convince the public?"

"You and I are both cultivators, so why should we be so clear about some things? A thousand years of Fire Spirit's merits are not enough to be a Water Officer?"

At this point, Lu Jun's smile faded completely. "I hope Heavenly Master understands that it was I who chose the Water Official, not the Immortal Court who appointed him. I don't want to be at odds with the Immortal Court, and I don't think the Immortal Court would want a power vacuum in the Nine Daos, would it?"

Lu Wujiu's eyebrows twitched when he heard this.

These words were extremely arrogant, and clearly hinted to him that if he did not agree, the Immortal Court would never be able to unify the eighteen seas.

This will be a huge blow to the prestige of the Immortal Court!
How to do?
Give in, or fight hard?
Thoughts raced through his mind as fast as lightning. Lu Wujiu asked, "Is the thousand-year-old fire spirit still there?"

Lu Jun frowned: "What does this mean, Master?"

Lu Wujiu said, "Since you are going to be the Water Officer, I must give an explanation to the world. The remains of the Fire Spirit are the best explanation. What do you think?"
