I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 185: My Own Nanming
When Lu Wujiu left the East China Sea and returned to the human-skin book again, the shock caused by containing the "Golden Crow" in the human-skin book had gradually calmed down.

Those who had just entered the Immortal Court did not comment much on the sun being tied up with iron chains above their heads, except that they were shocked by the immortals' methods.

Only those who witnessed the Golden Crow's descent would still feel their hearts pounding wildly when they occasionally recall it.

After returning to the Tianshi Mansion, Lu Wujiu immediately signed the first Tianshi Order, requiring the Diting Division to secretly investigate the Haiyu Sect in the East China Sea a thousand years ago.

The results are required within half a month.

For this purpose, Lu Wujiu even ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 5 million immortal notes as mission funds.

However, after receiving the order from the Heavenly Master, the Di Ting Division fell into silence.

To be precise, it was Yan Qing, the headmaster of the Shangqing sect who served as the deputy of the Diting Division, who fell silent.

As one of the earliest cultivators to participate in the establishment of the Immortal Court, he knew very well that the original purpose of establishing the Immortal Court was to prevent the disaster caused by the fire spirit in the East China Sea!

The Fire Spirit Disaster is inextricably linked to the Haiyu Sect that existed a thousand years ago.

Lu Wujiu had obviously investigated the matter a long time ago. Now that the Immortal Court was newly established, the first order from the Heavenly Master was to investigate the Haiyu Sect again, which was completely understandable.

He was wondering whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to expand the power of the Di Ting Division by taking advantage of the power of others.

The warm sunlight shining on the desk attracted his attention. He subconsciously turned his head to look out the window. The golden crow that never sets hangs high in the blue sky, continuously emitting heat, ensuring that the fairyland will never be dark.

"call……"

He exhaled slightly and had an idea.

The prestige of the Immortal Court is on the rise. If we don’t take advantage of the favorable conditions now, when will we?

After thinking about it, a series of communication talismans flew into the main courtyard of the temple. This courtyard was responsible for the words and deeds of the immortal officials, and it was considered an open and aboveboard supervision, walking in the sun.

After receiving the communication token, this academy immediately rushed to Diting Mansion to listen to the announcement. After a while, they came out in full force and spread across the world.

……

Liuren Mountain and Liuren Sect are sparsely populated sects on normal days. After the appearance of the Immortal Court, the number of disciples has become even smaller.

Those with high cultivation levels followed their master's requirements and joined the Immortal Court.

Those with low cultivation bases search the world for wandering ghosts and spirits, study hard and practice diligently, trying to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible and become members of the Immortal Court.

On this day, several immortal officials descended from the sky riding the "Imitation Dunxun Mirror", and Xia Cheng'an, the chief of the Liuren sect, hurried out to greet them.

"I didn't know you immortal officials were coming to visit me. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me!"

The leader of the Di Ting Division was a cultivator of the second grade of the primary level, named Dong Hongbin, the abbot of Tianyuan Temple. How could he have ever seen the master of the Liuren Sect be so polite?

Although he was excited, his face was icy as he said, "I, under the command of the Supreme Immortal Supervisor, have come to requisition the Sutra Library of your sect to supplement the library of the Immortal Court. I hope you will lead the way!"

"Supervisory Immortal" is the official title for the deputy positions in the Nine Departments. As for the principal position, it is called the Chief Taoist Lord, but currently no one sits on this throne.

Therefore, the Supervisory Immortal is the highest person in charge of the Nine Departments.

Upon hearing this, Xia Fazhu was immediately enraged and said sinisterly, "Fellow Daoist, our Liuren Immortal Master is also one of the Supervisory Immortals, and can be considered one of the elders of the Immortal Court. How could the Scripture Repository be requisitioned on one of our own people?"

When the Master of Liuren became angry, a hint of timidity subconsciously flashed in Dong Hongbin's eyes. The fear of the Nine Mysterious Gates had long been rooted in his cultivation memory.

After all, those who are not afraid have already died.

The next second, Dong Hongbin felt ashamed of his fear.

Now, he is no longer the master of Tianyuan Temple, but the cloud envoy of the main hall of Xianting Diting Temple. Thinking of the Xianting, his courage doubled:

"This is the decree of the Supreme Immortal Supervisor. Do you think you are going to disobey the Immortal's rules?"

When Master Xia heard the word "Xian Gui", he subconsciously thought of Lu Wujiu whom he met in Dongyuan Sect. In a trance, he felt an unreal sense of separation.

This made him feel less fearful, and he said indifferently:
"I am just a Dharma Master, but I am not qualified to open the Sutra Library. I need to report this matter to the Xuanbing Daoist Monarch first!"

When Dong Hongbin heard the words "Xuanbing Daojun", he felt a chill in his heart and wanted to retreat, but when he thought of the order from the Supervisor Immortal, he was faced with a dilemma.

Should he use Liuren Sect as a token of his allegiance, or should he give in and leave?
Thoughts raced through his mind as he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the decree of the Immortal Court. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

Xia Fazhu sneered: "Alright, then I want to see who dares to take action in Liuren Sect?"

Dong Hongbin was silent for a moment, then suddenly rushed into the Liuren Sect. Master Xia's face changed drastically, and he shouted sternly:
"How brave!"

……

"How brave!"

A furious rebuke exploded in the Di Ting Sikong. Following the sound, he saw the Immortal Master Liu Ren, the Master of the Mysterious Arms, standing in the air. "Yan Qing, are you going to show off your power to my Liu Ren Sect?"

As soon as the voice fell, Yan Qing flew out: "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

The Immortal Master Liu Ren angrily rebuked him, "Fellow Daoist, why are you asking questions when you already know the answer? I'm asking you, how did someone from the Di Ting Division break into my Liu Ren Sect and even start a fight?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing refuted, "How dare you, Daoist friend, come to me and ask for punishment? I have received the order from the Heavenly Master, and the Liuren Sect has disobeyed it. What is the punishment for this?"

"Bullshit, stop trying to bully others!"

"You dare to call yourself an Immortal Lord while confusing the public?"

"you……"

The two of them were on edge, ready to come to blows. At that moment, Hua Chaoge popped up and said, "Why are you two Daoists making such a fuss in public? Why are you bringing shame upon the Immortal Court?"

Immortal Master Liu Ren said, "It's good that you've come, Daoist Hua. Please judge for yourself..."

Yan Qing sneered: "What a villain who complains first!"

Hua Chaoge said quickly, "Alright, if you two have any grievances, go to the Tianshi Mansion and seek justice. It's disgraceful to quarrel here."

Immortal Master Liu Ren and Yan Qing glanced down at the countless pairs of eyes watching the excitement, snorted coldly at each other, and flew towards the Tianshi Mansion.

As the few people left, the immortal officials of the Di Ting Division were immediately in an uproar.

As the incident escalated, it caused an uproar throughout the Immortal Court. Many people showed concerns. The two big bosses of the Second Nine Departments cursed at each other in public. Under such contradictions, can the Immortal Court still continue to operate?

For a time, some people even secretly exchanged their innate Yuan Qi and left.

……

In the Tianshi Mansion, Lu Wujiu listened to the quarrel between the Nine Taoist Lords with an expressionless face, his heart was calm.

The cause of the incident was very simple. After the Di Ting Division received his Heavenly Master's order, it expanded the scope of law enforcement, leading to a fierce fight between the immortal officials of the Di Ting Division and the monks of the Liu Ren Sect.

Fortunately, both sides were relatively restrained and no casualties were caused.

The Liuren Immortal Master's act of angrily rebuking the Di Ting Division without caring about his image was more about form than content. After all, he had to show his attitude to appease the Liuren disciples and also to warn other departments.

In Lu Wujiu's opinion, now that both parties have brought the lawsuit to him, the focus of the argument is no longer who is right or wrong, but how broad the scope of authority and responsibility of the "Tianshi Order" is!
The two argued for a long time, then both turned to Lu Wujiu and said, "Please ask Heavenly Master to take charge of this matter!"

Lu Wujiu looked at Hua Chaoge expressionlessly, "Master Taichang, what is the punishment for the Immortal Supervisor's public misconduct?"

Hua Chaoge cupped his hands and said, "It depends on the impact of the situation. At the very least, there will be a salary deduction, and at the worst... removal from office!"

Lu Wujiu continued, "Then according to the Taichang Division, how should the punishment be determined?"

Hua Chaoge said, "Although the two Immortals had a verbal dispute, they did not come to blows. According to the Taichang Division, you should be fined half a year's salary as a warning to others."

Lu Wujiu nodded: "Then I'll deduct half a year's salary! Are you two satisfied?"

Yan Qing immediately said, "I do not accept this, and I beg the Heavenly Master to judge. Liu Ren was the first to instigate the conflict, and I responded later. How could this be considered as impolite?"

Hua Chaoge stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, you can report this to the Heavenly Master afterwards. Even though you didn't initiate the incident, it's still impolite to quarrel in public!" Yan Qing had a dark face and said nothing.

Lu Wujiu looked at Immortal Master Liuren.

Immortal Master Liu Ren thought for a moment and then bowed, saying, "I am willing to accept the punishment."

Lu Wujiu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yan Qing and said, "I have issued a decree from the Heavenly Master, asking the Diting Division to investigate a major case. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so it is understandable that the Diting Division is a bit rough in its work. However, the requisition of the Sutra Repository is ultimately suspected of infringing on the property of the people, which cannot be underestimated. Considering that this is a first offense, I will be lenient and fine you half a year's salary. Both crimes will be punished together. Do you accept the punishment?"

Yan Qing was silent for a while, then he bowed and said, "I accept the punishment!"

Immortal Master Liu Ren was immediately satisfied when he heard this.

Deducting salary is a small matter, but offending the Di Ting Si is a big deal!
Some are happy and some are sad.

Yan Qing's heart sank, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Lu Wujiu.

Now, protecting the Immortal Master Liu Ren will damage the prestige of your Heavenly Master, right?
Who will be able to fulfill their duties and carry out the orders of the Heavenly Master in the future?

Unexpectedly, Lu Wujiu suddenly said, "This matter is also due to my own inconsideration. Five million immortal notes are still a little insufficient. Therefore, I will allocate 500 million immortal notes from your Diting Division to collect rare copies of the Nine Daoist scriptures and manuscripts. The Taichang Division also has the responsibility of clarifying the scriptures and will be responsible for supervising this matter."

Five hundred million immortal notes?

Yan Qing's breathing suddenly became heavier.

Immortal banknotes are the equivalent of innate primordial Qi. Five hundred million immortal banknotes would be a huge amount of innate primordial Qi.

Not to mention that he embezzled a little, even if he enforced the law impartially, he would still be able to make a lot of money.

It seems that deducting one year's salary may seem like a punishment, but it is actually a reward!

Immortal Master Liu Ren was stunned.

Can the Tianshi Mansion really come up with 500 million immortal notes?

Of course Lu Wujiu couldn't take it out.

Therefore, after the matter of upholding justice was over, he deliberately left Yan Qing and Hua Chaoge behind and gave them detailed instructions on the collection matter.

The 500 million immortal notes will not be allocated all at once, but will be paid in installments. Therefore, there is a limit on the amount of information collected each month. Once the limit is reached, the books collected will be automatically postponed to the next month.

At the same time, in order to prevent duplicate expenditures, the collected information must be strictly reviewed and duplicate numbers will no longer be accepted.

In other words, this move will encourage the Taoists all over the world to pay for books in exchange for immortal money.

At the same time, books are divided into different levels according to the value of their information. Ordinary books are available to all immortal officials in the immortal court and can be read free of charge; some books charge a fee to supplement the finances; and top-secret books are only open to high-level immortal officials.

"This will be a long-term mission. Five hundred million immortal notes is not the limit, so I hope you two can quickly draft a plan."

"I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Yan Qing and Hua Chaoge bowed, and despite the many restrictions, they were still very excited.

This is a lucrative job!

Not long after the two men resigned, the news that the Immortal Court wanted to search the world for books spread throughout the nine realms.

As the rule of "first come, first served, slow come, first served" spread, not only small families, but even the nine major sects were eager to offer books.

After all, some books are available to everyone, and the rule is first come first served. In this case, why can't it be the Nine Great Mysterious Gates?

For a time, Di Ting Si became a hot commodity.

This made the immortal officials in the Immortal Court excited. Working for the Heavenly Master was really a benefit!
If we have to say who is unhappy, it is probably the Liuren School. They gained face but lost substance.

This craze for collecting scriptures is likely to be targeted by the Di Ting Division, and we will lose a lot of immortal money.

Looking at the bustling Immortal Court, Lu Wujiu shook his head. The disadvantages of forming a force had already become apparent.

Power moves people's hearts.

It hasn't been long since then, and people have already started vying for fame and fortune.

They even rushed to his front and disturbed his practice.

In fact, with the benefits of eternal reincarnation and longevity as great as heaven and earth, the enthusiasm of the high-level officials in the Immortal Court for spiritual practice has diminished a lot.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good news is that as the Immortal Court operates, this group of people will eventually become institutionalized and spontaneously safeguard the interests of the Immortal Court;
The downside is that the overall strength of the Immortal Court may be declining.

What will happen if everyone competes for fame and fortune?
He uses the false to cultivate the true, and he still needs the "support" of all the great monks!

“The system needs to be improved!”

Lu Wujiu pondered secretly,

Then he closed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, his body seemed to have lost a third of its charm.

The next second, a figure on the Golden Crow hanging high above the Immortal Palace suddenly opened his eyes - it was Lu Wujiu.

It turned out that Lu Wujiu in the Tianshi Mansion was just an incarnation created by him using the Ranzhen Dao and Taiyin Lianxing Dao. His real body had been occupying the head of Nanming Zhenren, absorbing and exhaling the fire elemental Qi.

Lu Wujiu knew very well that strength was the guarantee of everything.

Without strength, the fairy court built with lies will eventually fall apart in some accident.

Especially under the watchful eyes of the Haiyu Sect.

He suspected that Lu Jun had already reached the fifth level of cultivation.

The reason is very simple. The lifespan of the Four Jia is only a thousand years, while Lu Jun has existed for a thousand years. Even if the Eighteen Seas can steal his lifespan, he has lived too long.

How could I have been stuck in the top four for such a long time?

Lu Wujiu dare not underestimate the heroes of the world!

The most important thing is that he knew that Emperor Yin existed, but he still dared to ask for the Water Official. It was obvious that he had something to rely on!

The fifth level of Taoism, refining eighteen seas...a series of nouns made Lu Wujiu feel quite pressured.

Fortunately, the remains of the fire spirit are in hand, and just a little bit of time will be enough.

Thinking of this, he no longer thought about the trivial matters of the Immortal Court. Instead, he absorbed and exhaled the fire elemental energy with his whole body and soul, and the blazing power rushed into his body madly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

"confused"

The familiar feeling of breaking through the realm came again in Lu Wujiu's body. With the blessing of Baicao Shuang and the remains of the fire spirit, the fire sword art quietly reached the fourth level!

"happy!"

Lu Wujiu secretly praised in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to swallow.

Suddenly, a faint voice came to his ear.

"But a disciple of the Fire God?"

Lu Wujiu suddenly opened his eyes, and his spiritual thoughts were like a violent storm, sweeping across the remains of the fire spirit.

The next second, his pupils dilated.

But the flames before him suddenly twisted and transformed into a human form: "I am Nan Ming, who are you?"
