“Disciple Qingxu… present!” Gentleman Bai She stepped forward, holding his fists with both hands and kneeling on one knee.
“I hereby confer upon you the title of Imperial Commander of the Household Registration Department in the Taichu Dojo and the Master of the Pill Pavilion, entitling you to the treatment of a first-rank Daoist Official of the Taichu, with an annual tribute of thousands of Heavenly Merits.”
Daoist Xuanqing said in a clear voice.
As soon as these words were spoken.
An annual tribute of thousands of Heavenly Merits?
“Hiss-”
Some of the knowledgeable people among the audience were shocked and gasped in disbelief when they heard this conferment. They never expected that Qingxu’s salary would be Heavenly Merits.
It must be known that in the Three Realms, the ‘Innate Merit’ distributed by the Heavenly Court is already the lifelong pursuit of most cultivators.
As for the ‘ Heavenly Merit’, it has always been the exclusive domain of the big shots in the Three Realms, something people at their level dare not even touch.
And now?
Qingxu doesn’t need to do anything, and he can receive thousands of Heavenly Merits as his annual salary.
If this were known to those big shots who were always calculating to gain a bit of Heavenly Merit, they would be utterly humiliated.
Regardless of the audience’s astonishment, the enfeoffment continues.
Daoist Xuanqing’s eyes turned to a completely black figure, as if he had just come out of a coal mine.
“Black Bear, step forward to accept your enfeoffment!”
“Hehe, I…Disciple Black Bear…am here!”
The Black Bear Essence happily hurried forward, mimicking the way Little Brother Bai She had just acted, holding his fists with both hands and kneeling on one knee.
Tsktsk
It has to be said that the Black Bear Essence is not only rough in appearance, but also careless in character.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he still uses the name ‘Black Bear’ after joining Black Wind Mountain for so long can reveal something about his nature.
Oh- Black Bear, such a simple and honest name.
“Hehe, this silly kid!”
Daoist Xuanqing chuckled lightly, shook his head, then said seriously:
“I hereby confer upon you the title of…Imperial Commander of Law Enforcement in the Siwei Mansion of the Taichu Dojo, and concurrently the envoy of the Spirit Medicine and Rare Beast Garden, enjoying the treatment as a first-rank Daoist Official of the Taichu, with an annual tribute of thousands of Heavenly Merits.”
“Hiss-”
The audience gasped in shock again.
This is yet another high-ranking official with first-rank status. It was said that the Black Wind Mountain had a Black Bear Essence that was, like Qingxu, one of the first to follow Sir, but due to his low profile, he preferred to raise bees and brew wine in his spare time.
Now, he was also conferred the title of a first-rank Daoist Official of the Taichu Dojo, just like Qingxu. This is the treatment reserved for the founding elders.
The enfeoffment continued.
Subsequently,
Daoist Xuanqing conferred official titles upon Qingwan and Bai Ling’er.
The former was conferred the title of Great Emperor of Longevity of the Human Race and the Human Emperor, while the latter, with her playful and eccentric character, was unsuitable for any position, and was thus conferred the title of Sagely Free White Tiger Immortal.
Of course.
Both of them held the same rank, both as first-rank Daoist officials of the Taichu, however, when it came to annual tribute, they received slightly less than Gentleman Bai She and the Black Bear Essence, with only over eight hundred Heavenly Merits.
After the enfeoffment of the first batch of elders came to an end.
It was now time for the second batch of creatures.
The Land God of Black Wind Mountain, the City God of Black Wind City, the City God of Sand City, the City God of Miechan City…the four City Gods of the Black Wind Kingdom.
Before the establishment of the Black Wind Kingdom,
These four were, respectively, the Land God of Black Wind Mountain…the Land God of Black Wind Town…the Land God of the Azure Dragon Mountain…and the Water God of the Black Dragon Pool.
As the saying goes, when one man attains the Dao, his pets ascend to heaven along with him.
As Daoist Xuanqing’s influence has grown rapidly, the subordinate gods under his command have naturally experienced a rise in status as well.
In the end,
Three of the City Gods were promoted to second-rank Daoist Officials of the Taichu and each of them held a position within the Taichu Dojo.
The Land God of Black Wind Mountain, however, remained in his position, continuing to serve as the Land God of Black Wind Mountain.
Although his position did not change,
No one dared to underestimate this small ‘Earth God’.
It must be known,
This is the Land God of Black Wind Sacred Mountain, where Sir resides.
As the saying goes, there are still third-rank officials outside the prime minister’s gate, yet this is the Land God at the gate of Sir, an existence that serves Sir every day.
As for the third tier of creatures, there is not much to say.
Even so,
Xuanqing didn’t continue with the conferment himself; instead, he handed it over to Gentleman Bai She for the third tier, allowing him to fulfill his role as the ‘Household Registration Emperor’.
As for the existence of this tier, the treatment under Taichu Dojo was still very good.
Of course.
As beings of the third tier, they naturally wouldn’t have Heavenly Merit.
Not only them, even the Earth Gods of the second tier do not receive Heavenly Merit as part of their annual offerings.
However.
Although they don’t have Heavenly Merit, they didn’t lack Innate Merit either.
After all.
When Xuanqing created Taichu Dojo, he had transformed two hundred million ingots into Innate Merit, acting as Taichu Dojo’s salary distribution.
And so.
The basic structure of the entire Taichu Dojo was set up.
The news about Xuanqing conferring the lower-ranking little demon cultivators as Daoist Officials spread throughout the Three Realms.
The most praiseworthy thing was… the salary of Taichu Dojo.
When the beings in the Three Realms learned that the Daoist Officials in Taichu Dojo received the same Innate Merit salary as the Heavenly Court, their tears flowed uncontrollably, and they couldn’t help but covet it, since Innate Merit was exclusive to the formal members of the Heavenly Court.
However.
When they heard that the annual offerings of the few First Grade Elders and Emperors in the Taichu Dojo were ‘Heavenly Merits’, they were… utterly dumbstruck.
Even those old bosses in the Three Realms were shocked beyond measure by this news.
Good lord!
What everyone usually calculated as their own, Daoist Xuanqing simply distributed it directly as annual offerings?
Not only that.
When the Dao Court banquet was held previously.
The news about the nine Ginseng Fruit Trees planted around the square and the Flat Peach Divine Tree somehow spread out as well.
With such a series of… illogical news stirring up the Three Realms’ situation, everyone wondered who Daoist Xuanqing was and how he could accomplish such astonishing things.
Is this guy… really a human?
Yi Province’s Three Islands.
Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals gathered together.
After the great calamity, we have been indifferent to worldly matters for many years; are we really going to join Taichu Dojo now?”
Let’s give it a try. The Flat Peach Divine Tree has been Shou’s lifelong pursuit, and you too have been coveting Heavenly Merit for a long time.”
With profound eyes, Fortune Star Immortal gazed towards the junction between Nanshan Continent and West Niu Hezhou, seemingly piercing through the vast distance and seeing Taichu Dojo.
This Taichu Dojo, located in Black Wind Country, has the potential to replace the Tang Dynasty as the center of human fate. I, who have cultivated the Dao of Good Fortune, intend to seize this opportunity and give it a try.”
Upon hearing this.
Prosperity Star and Longevity Star Immortals fell silent.
Black Wind Country didn’t matter much to these two.
But the Heavenly Merit and the Flat Peach Divine Tree were deadly temptations for them both, like a cat encountering catnip.
After a while.
Longevity Star Immortal sighed and murmured faintly, “If Daoist Xuanqing is willing to let me take charge of the Flat Peach Divine Tree, why not join him?”
Seeing this.
Prosperity Star Immortal’s eyes showed some interest as well.
If Fortune and Longevity Stars were to go, leaving only Prosperity Star alone on the Three Islands, what would be the point?
Alright, let’s go to Taichu!”
Great!
Fortune and Longevity Stars looked at each other, smiling and nodding.
Of course.
Although the Three Immortals intended to join Taichu Dojo, that was just their one-sided wish. Whether it could actually happen depended on how the other party would act and whether they would accept their requests.
Therefore, the Three Immortals didn’t even pack their belongings.They directly rode their lucky clouds towards Black Wind Mountain, intending first to confirm their plans before coming back later to move their things.
On this side.
Black Wind Mountain.
After setting up Taichu Dojo and getting the structure up and running,
Xuanqing planned to return to the real world to collect incense and develop incense offerings in the real world.
Just as Xuanqing was about to exit the game, he noticed three beams filled with pure and clear spiritual energy rushing towards them.
