My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 305: A Reminder About the Arranged Marriage and the Nascent Soul License

"It's been seven days already, are these gentlemen still fighting inside?"

Li Wei is doing well; as a newly appointed official, he has no burdens. However, Lei Yanzi, Kong Miaodan, and Zhang Li, the three ministers and deputy ministers, all have their own work to do.

Especially Lei Yanzi.

Countless matters in the Thunder Department of Central Continent await his attention. If this continues, many important things will be delayed, especially military affairs concerning the Blissful Demon Land. If the delays become too severe, he will be punished by the Lord of War.

Just when everyone was thinking that!
The gates of Lei Prison, which had been sealed for a week, finally opened, and Li Wei and Lei Yanzi walked out one after the other, while Vice Ministers Kong Miaodan and Zhang Li followed behind them.

This position made many people's pupils shrink in surprise.

Although everyone had guessed that there would be some compromise between the two sides, no one expected that it would be Lord Lei Yanzi who compromised in the end!

What exactly happened these past few days? Why did the Minister of Thunder allow an Inspector to advance ahead of him? Is the power structure of the Thunder Department in Central Plains about to be permanently altered?
This result sent a huge shockwave through the entire Raibu!
Looking at the horrified expressions on his subordinates' faces, Lei Yanzi couldn't help but recall what had happened in Lei Prison. He gritted his teeth in hatred: "It was just a little political dispute in the mortal realm, and this guy actually went to complain to the Heavenly Emperor. Has he no shame at all!"

That's right!

After imprisoning Lei Yanzi for seven days, Li Wei felt it was about time and used the special envoy jade token to report to the Heavenly Emperor.

What's the difference between this and two elementary school students arguing and going straight to the headmaster to complain? The key is that this headmaster is biased towards Li Wei, so Lei Yanzi was severely reprimanded by Shang Hao in front of so many cultivators in Lei Prison.

That's the real reason he followed Li Wei out!

Recalling what had happened before, Lei Yanzi couldn't help but feel a pang of apprehension: "This kid seems to be even more favored by His Majesty than rumored. Such a small matter can reach the Emperor's ears directly. His Majesty is really willing to stand up for him."

Was Li Wei's visit this time truly merely an exercise of his power of preaching?

The Heavenly Court has completely sealed off the secrets of the Cleansing Life Orthodox Sect system, and the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation has not given Lei Yanzi any hints, only instructing him to control Li Wei. Therefore, Lei Yanzi actually does not know the true purpose of Li Wei's trip to Zhongzhou this time.

Decided,
Once he gets back, he must contact the patriarch immediately and find out Li Wei's situation clearly, otherwise he has no idea what to expect.

"Let you be arrogant for a while longer. I'll deal with you after I find out the truth!"

Lei Yanzi gave Zhang Li a wink, and the two of them went upstairs together, clearly to have a private meeting.

When Kong Miaodan realized she hadn't been invited to the meeting, she knew she was destined to take the blame this time. So she sighed, gave up any hope, and walked over to Li Wei.

"Isn't Fairy Miaodan afraid of incurring the wrath of Minister Lei if she walks with me now?"

Even after being imprisoned for seven days, Kong Miaodan did not forget her proud nature. She raised her head and said, "Isn't it just that you want him to hate me?"

“Lei Yanzi now considers me your ally, but he just can’t touch you, so naturally I’ll be the one to suffer next.”

“I can guess with my toes that Lei Yanzi is already thinking about how to kick me out of the Lei Department in order to clip your wings as the inspector.”

Moreover, even if it wasn't to suppress Li Wei, Lei Yanzi needed to establish his authority and regain his face through other means.

In Leibu,

What could be a better way to make an example of someone than by kicking out a vice minister?
Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, Kong Miaodan will definitely be targeted by Lei Yanzi next.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Lord Li Wei, you really have a brilliant strategy of using someone else's strength against them this time!"

"You didn't have to give anything, yet you managed to sever my relationship with Lei Yanzi. Now, whether Lei Yanzi kicks me out of the Lei tribe or I retaliate against him, you'll reap the benefits!"

Look, look, look! You're still laughing here!
You're not even acting anymore, are you?
Li Wei wiped his face, suppressing a smile: "It's not my fault. If you hadn't bought any friendship courses, how could people have suspected you?"

Kong Miaodan snorted coldly: "In short, you've really screwed me over this time! If Lei Yanzi bullies me next, I promise I won't let you get away with it!"

"so?"

"Let's form an alliance for now. I'll settle the score with you later! Right now, the most urgent thing is to stop Lei Yanzi's political suppression. With that guy's petty nature, this isn't over yet!"

Although Li Wei disliked Kong Miaodan, who had a serious racist streak, he disliked Lei Yanzi, who was pretentious on the surface but actually petty and narrow-minded, even more.

Moreover, the feeling of watching a once arrogant enemy have to "condescend" to join forces with you seems not so bad.

Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay."

A smile finally appeared on Kong Miaodan's face. Although she had suffered a great loss this time, she had also gained a perfect opportunity to get close to Li Wei.

If she can use this opportunity to complete the ancestor's mission, then offending Lei Yanzi is no big deal! In any case, given her status, the worst that can happen is that she'll be kicked out of the Lei Department. She can afford to gamble!
After the alliance,

The atmosphere between the two finally eased a lot, and Kong Miaodan even took the initiative to lead Li Wei to an office area of ​​about 300 square meters on the 75th floor of Leibu.

"This used to be the tea room of the Thunder Department, and now it is the dedicated office area for your Xuanzheng Inspection Group! However, although you have the space, you don't have your own team of divine officials here, so you can only find a way to temporarily recruit them."

"With your current authority, you can independently recruit 30 divine officials as your subordinates. In addition, if you have anyone you fancy, you can directly and forcibly conscript them."

Li Wei's eyes brightened slightly as he inquired carefully, "Can all the thunder officials in Zhongzhou be recruited?"

"Of course! Our Zhongzhou Thunder Department is the superior of all Thunder Departments in Zhongzhou, so we naturally have the right to recruit their personnel. If you have your eye on someone, just write a recruitment letter."

“However, Lei Yanzi holds the power over personnel and finances in the Lei Department. If you want to recruit people, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time getting past him.” “That’s easy. If he tries to stop me from hiring someone, I’ll investigate their family’s educational background. I don’t believe that such a large family with divine bloodlines wouldn’t have anyone forging academic credentials!”

Even the proud Kong Miaodan couldn't help but give Li Wei a thumbs up!

I thought you only dared to oppose Lei Yanzi, but I didn't expect you to even dare to investigate the divine bloodline family left behind by the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Thunder and Lightning. You're a great man!

Kong Miaodan was even more eager to tame Li Wei as her mount.

But after what happened with Lei Yanzi, even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew that the chances of winning this man over were slim.

unless
Kong Miaodan seemed to have thought of something, a strange light flashing in her eyes, before she suddenly said, "Speaking of which, you're not engaged yet, are you?"

Although Li Wei found it a bit strange, he still nodded: "Indeed, we don't have that plan yet."

"Then I advise you to hurry up. If you want to climb up in the Heavenly Court, marriage is essential. Not to mention the hidden benefits of marriage alliances and finding a backer, just the fact that you don't get married and leave no offspring means you won't get many important divine positions."

The celestial lords do not like a lone wolf with no weaknesses!
This is the main reason why the vast majority of gods choose to leave behind their bloodline before ascending to immortality!

Upon hearing this, Li Wei seemed to ponder something and subconsciously glanced at Kong Miaodan.

The latter immediately bristled: "Why are you looking at me like that!"

Does a toad dream of eating swan meat?
How dare you covet this fairy?!

Li Wei didn't covet her at all, because she wasn't worthy. Marrying such a proud and arrogant woman would only bring him trouble. If he were to marry, he should marry someone like Xiao Qingqing, who was gentle, cute, and unassuming.

However, he didn't have any plans to get married yet, so he put the matter aside and went to the office to pick up a pen and start writing the conscription order.

First, there are Mi Hongzhi and Bai Jie. Li Wei knows these two people well and has been working with them for a while. They are easy to use, so he doesn't plan to replace them.

Then there's Zhang Yidao. This teacher is very talented in pharmaceutical technology. Recruiting him can not only meet Li Wei's daily pharmaceutical needs, but also take charge of the reform of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group. It's a win-win situation.

In addition, Li Wei needed someone to be in charge of external affairs, so he finally thought of the legendary model worker Lao Xinzhi.

Although this guy is the representative of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, as long as Li Wei gives the order, he will definitely be willing to bring his talent as the "King of Overtime" of Zhongzhou to a new position and continue to shine.

With these four as pillars, the framework of the entire Xuanzheng Inspection Team was established.

The remaining task is to have cultivators specializing in the Holy Path of Education assist Li Wei in handling the power of propagating education; otherwise, he might encounter some serious pitfalls.

However, there are only a handful of such talents in the entire Thunder Department, so Li Wei immediately issued a recruitment notice through the Thunder Department's official website, recruiting cultivators from all over the Central Continent to practice the Holy Path.

It should be noted that the path of education has always been one of the mainstream cultivation schools, but the employment opportunities are mainly concentrated in the lower-level school education. The truly high-end positions of immortal officials are extremely rare, let alone divine positions!

With fewer divine positions, fewer true gods are born. Without many true gods to rely on, the teachings of the Holy Path have little say in either the Heavenly Court or the mortal realm, so the rights that can be fought for for lower-level cultivators are naturally even fewer.

This is a vicious cycle!
Therefore, the path of education has always been in a situation of "many practitioners but few employees." As soon as Li Wei's recruitment announcement was released, it caused a huge stir, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.

The Thunder Department's divine officials not only hold high positions in the immortal realm and have extensive authority, but they also enjoy five social insurances and one housing fund, not to mention their extra income. In short, this is the department with the best welfare benefits in the Three Realms!

Normally, even second-generation cultivators from families with divine bloodlines struggle to find positions, but now they're making an exception and recruiting cultivators for the Holy Path, openly to all cultivators in the entire Central Continent.

Who could resist that?

The entire Central Plains was in an uproar. More than a million people pre-registered in just one morning. Ninety-nine percent of them did not meet Li Wei's requirements, but even if only one percent remained, it would be enough for Li Wei to choose from.

Li Wei's original bottom line was only the Nascent Soul stage, but he was surprised to see several Deity Transformation cultivators applying for the position.

"I never expected there to be so many big fish in the 'Path of Education' pond. I'll have to do a thorough screening this time. If I could assemble a monitoring team composed entirely of Nascent Soul cultivators, then..."

hiss!
Wouldn't Li Wei be able to directly suppress Zhongzhou?

Of course, this is probably just wishful thinking. What top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator would want a position like a minor official in the Thunder Department? Even the positions of minor officials in the Thunder Department of Central Continent have limited appeal to them.

Just as Li Wei was thinking this, the alarm he had set suddenly went off.

[Ding!! The 128th Unified Examination for the Infant Advancement License in Zhongzhou City is about to begin. Please pay attention to the time.]

"finally come!!"

Although Li Wei's cultivation has now reached the Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation is still illegitimate.

This feeling is similar to being a traditional Chinese medicine doctor without a license to practice; the more medical skills you use in the future, the easier it is for someone to seize the opportunity to send you to prison.
With so many people watching Li Wei, and many knowing that there's something wrong with his cultivation level, some are even investigating. The only reason he hasn't been taken in yet is because he has someone protecting him from above.

But one day, some people will not be able to protect him, so if this problem is not solved, it will always be a future problem!

"Even if I suppress my cultivation to the Golden Core stage, passing the Nascent Soul License exam should be a piece of cake! After this, I can openly use my Nascent Soul cultivation!"

Li Wei immediately opened the unified examination website and began the registration process.
