Chapter 95: Chapter 94: The Heavenly Court is Distributing Salaries.
Translator: 549690339
At this moment.
On the dark side of Black Wind Town, the land of darkness.
City God didn’t know the expressions people had when they sensed Daoist Xuanqing’s promotion again.
He only knew that his heart was trembling.
“This Daoist Xuanqing… is a bit too terrifying!”
City God’s hands were crossed behind him, and he gazed at the shifting gray sky, his eyes filled with lingering shock.
The netherworld was the reflection of the dark side of the land of living and was affected by that world, so the turbulence of the immortal officer’s promotion naturally spread to the netherworld as well.
City God really didn’t understand.
How long had it been since the last promotion?
It is important to know that an immortal officer’s promotion doesn’t only depend on a sufficient amount of incense, but also on time, experience, and divine lineage.
Suddenly.
It seemed like he thought of something.
“Daoist Xuanqing, Xuanqing… Xuan Gate Taiqing, could it be….” City God’s pupils contracted, muttering quietly to himself.
It took him a while to regain his composure, but in his heart, he had already made some decisions.
Above the human world.
Black Wind Town.
The dark clouds in the sky were heavy, and the divine thunder force was becoming more and more intense.
Finally.
Boom!!
Accompanied by a loud rumbling noise, a vast and emotionless voice sounded from all around.
[The original Taiji Library Keeper, Right Army Commander and Law Enforcer,
Daoist Xuanqing of Grade Eight Immortal rank has received a decree!]
[Due to his abundant blessings to the people and incense reaching more than forty thousand, he is promoted to: Taiji Library Keeper, Left Army Enforcement Marshal, Thunder Department Head of Grade Eight, capable of commanding the power of Divine thunder.]
Fairy music resounded, and one could vaguely see heavenly immortals sprinkling flowers.
A pillar of light that was invisible to the naked eye descended from the sky and enveloped Daoist Xuanqing.
In contrast to before.
This time, the light pillar seemed to contain some peculiar power. This power gradually gathered and eventually converged into a ball of light that floated in the divine realm.
The energy within the light ball was extremely mysterious, similar yet different from the human merit he had received earlier, and impossible to describe in words.
“What is this?”
Xuanqing was slightly puzzled.
In the past, when he was promoted to immortal official, such a scenario never happened.
He slowly reached out his hand and touched the ‘light group’ in front of him.
In an instant.
More information appeared in Xuanqing’s mind, and he understood what this light ball was.
Salary!
It was the salary distributed by the Heavenly Court.
The reason why it was similar to the human merit he had received earlier was that the Heavenly Court’s salary was Innate Merit.
This was something more advanced than human merit, produced by Heaven and Earth and controlled by the Heavenly Court.
From the information in his mind, he also figured out the function of this ‘Innate Merit’.
[Innate Merit]: Life-extension, Destiny-changing, Cultivation, Artifact Refining, Pill Refining…
This stuff was like a panacea in the medical world and the universal oil of the cultivation world, it could be used for anything.
“No wonder people envy those in the Heavenly Court, such a unique salary!”
Xuanqing marveled.
Upon calculation.
Since he started the game, more than a year had passed, and since being officially registered as a Standard Ninth-Grade immortal officer, it had been just one full year.
“This Innate Merit should be shared with White Snake and Black Bear, both of whom have diligently worked and deserve some rewards.”
Xuanqing thought to himself.
If it were for his subordinates such as the Earth Gods, rewarding them with some incense would be enough, but the two demons were different.
Black Bear Essence’s capabilities were unfathomable and could even fight against the Five Guardian Buddhas.
Although Gentleman Bai She didn’t have such deep cultivation, his pill refining art was not to be underestimated among the rogue cultivators.
Incense, which was a good thing for Yin Gods with no potential, would be a poison that consumes potential for the two demons.
With this in mind.
Xuanqing looked outside through the divine realm.
However, none of the other figures were present. Only Gentleman Bai She, who was sitting cross-legged in the back courtyard of the temple.
“Come to the Divine Realm quickly.”
A secret sound transmission!
The meditating Gentleman Bai She heard the voice in his mind, knowing that Sir was summoning him.
He hurriedly stood up and stepped into the Divine Realm.
“Disciple pays respect to Sir, and congratulates Sir for the promotion of his immortal record!” Gentleman Bai She bowed in salute.
Upon seeing this,
Xuanqing curiously asked, “Why is it only you here? Where are the others?”
“All?”
Gentleman Bai She was slightly startled and hurriedly explained:
“Sir, didn’t you command last time that a promotion like this… um… such a trivial matter should carry on as usual, without making a big deal about it?”
“This month happens to be my turn to guard the temple, so I was waiting outside the Divine Realm!”
After some thought,
Gentleman Bai She tentatively asked, “Sir, do you want me to call Black Bear and the Four Little Gods?”
At these words,
Xuanqing suddenly realized.
When he was promoted last time, all the Earth Deities, the two demons, and Fat Ya came to congratulate him. There was really no need for this fanfare.
Therefore,
At that time, he casually mentioned that such a minor matter as a promotion of immortal records did not need to be so ceremonious. He didn’t expect that his subordinates took this to heart.
“No need to call the Four Little Gods, just call Black Bear!” Xuanqing commanded.
“Yes, Sir!”
Gentleman Bai She bowed again.
A moment later,
Two figures, one black and one white, entered the Divine Realm. They were none other than Gentleman Bai She and the Black Bear Essence.
“Sir, Black Bear is here!”
“Sir, congratulations on your promotion.”
Both demons saluted.
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
“Since the two of you have been following me, you have been diligent and cautious in your work. Black Bear fought against Mo Ke Jiedi’s avatar, and Bai She refined elixirs; both of you have made great contributions.”
“Today, as the Heavenly Court distributes salaries, I grant you a portion!”
Having said that,
Xuanqing extracted two-tenths from the Innate Merit and granted one-tenth to each of them.
At this moment!
Looking at the Innate Merit floating in front of them, emitting a divine aura,
The two demons were stunned.
They didn’t expect that right after Sir distributed his stipend, the first ones he thought of were them, the hairy, armor-clad, wet-born creatures.
“Sir…”
“Sir…”
The eyes of the two demons turned slightly red. They opened their mouths to say something, but they couldn’t articulate it.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing waved his hand and said indifferently, “As long as you work wholeheartedly, I will naturally not treat you unfairly!”
“Alright, I’m going to break through my cultivation. You two go outside and guard the law!”
“We will obey Sir’s orders!”
Both demons nodded solemnly.
Since Sir treated them so kindly, they must guard the law well. Even if Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived, they would not let her disturb Sir’s cultivation unless she stepped over their dead bodies.
After sending the two demons away,
Xuanqing sat down cross-legged.
“Last time when 1 broke through to the middle stage of turning Qi into a divine soul, my spirit unknowingly drifted to the Netherworld during the night!”
“This time, as 1 break through to the late stage, and my spirit can travel during the day, 1 wonder what changes I will experience?”
With a bit of expectation in his heart,
He began his breakthrough cultivation..
