Fang Jian returned to heaven following the imperial edict and came to the Immortal Capital of Taishi to meet with the Nine Heavens Xuannv.
In the Taishi Hall, the Nine Heavens Profound Girl sat high above the Qingyun, holding Xuanzhen Wenhua Jade Ruyi in her hand, looking at Fang Jian clearly, and said: "Fang Jian, from now on, in addition to your duties as the 'Judicial God', you will also You need to concurrently serve as the 'Taishi Immortal Lord' of Taishi Immortal Capital and assist me in handling all affairs of Taishi Immortal Capital. If I am away, you will be in charge of all affairs in Taishi Immortal Capital on my behalf."
When Fang Jian heard this, his first reaction was that something big had happened, and he quickly asked: "Master Dao, where are you going?"
Jiutian Xuannv smiled softly and said: "It has not been decided yet, but I am just preparing for a rainy day. If the situation in the three realms changes, I will go to the heavens of the Tribulation Domain with the Great Emperor Houtu to help the Great Emperor Changsheng of Antarctica and the Great Emperor Gouchen."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately realized that the heretic real demons might come to the world in the heavens of the Tribulation Realm. She seemed to know what Fang Jian was thinking. Damn it, if there are two Luo Demons left to come to the world, then the Great Emperor Houtu and I must go to the heavens of the Tribulation Domain to support the two Great Emperors, the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor and the Gouchen Emperor."
Speaking of this, Jiutian Xuannv looked at Fang Jian and said: "I can only rest assured that this position of 'Taishi Immortal Lord' can be given to you, otherwise I will not be able to rest assured. Fang Jian, this position cannot be refused. If I go to the heavens of the Tribulation Territory , you must take charge of Taishi Immortal City on my behalf."
Hearing this, Fang Jian showed no humility or hesitation, and immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Fang Jian, I sincerely obey the order of Lord Dao."
"Okay." Jiutian Xuannv nodded and said with a smile: "Then let Qing Yan take you to familiarize yourself with the various tasks of Taishi Immortal Capital. You must first master the various immortal officials, tasks, and functions of Taishi Immortal Capital. Only authority matters.”
Fang Jian bowed and said: "I will obey the law."
Then the boy Qingyan walked down the steps and said to Fang Jianji: "Zhenjun Hongqing, please follow me."
Fang Jian immediately bowed to the Nine Heavens Fairy and said, "Master Dao, I will leave first."
"Go." Jiutian Xuannu waved her sleeves and said with a smile.
Fang Jian and Qingyan boy left Taishi Hall. Qingyan boy slowed down and walked side by side with Fang Jian and said, "Hongqing Zhenjun, how much cinnabar did you buy?"
"What?" Fang Jian asked, "How much cinnabar did you buy?"
Qingyan boy said: "It's the top grade Red God cinnabar. How much did you buy?"
Fang Jian was stunned for a long time by Qingyan Tongzi's words, "What do you mean? Why should I buy high-grade cinnabar?"
The boy from Qingyan said, "Don't you know, Lord Hongqing? It was the boy from Mingxu who told me to buy more top-grade Red God Cinnabar."
"Isn't the Mingxu boy a personal boy of the Dongji Qinghua Emperor?" Fang Jian asked the Qingyan boy.
Qingyan boy nodded and said: "Yes, many gods in heaven know about this now, and they are all vying to buy the Red God Cinnabar."
"Why are you fighting to buy Red God Cinnabar?" Fang Jian asked still somewhat confused.
Qingyan boy said: "Hongqing Zhenjun, didn't you go to the Water Demon Heaven to save people?"
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded.
Qingyan Tongzi said: "I don't know who first spread the news. It is said that the demon cultivators in the Water Demon Heaven are not afraid of any magical power except peach wood sword and cinnabar. So now that the news comes out, everyone is rushing to buy it." Where’s the Red God Cinnabar.”
Fang Jian finally understood that this was the panic caused by Shui Motian's magic cultivation, so everyone began to rush to buy cinnabar.
But Fang Jian doesn't care. Everything in the world of Jamfu may be lacking, but cinnabar will not be lacking. This is a necessary thing for refining talismans. As far as Fang Jian knows, Taixuan Capital Province and the Four Heavenly Lords' Mansion have no less than a thousand Red God Cinnabar veins in their hands.
"Then how much did you buy?" Fang Jian asked with a smile.
Qingyan boy said: "I bought five million catties."
"." Fang Jian looked at Qingyan boy in surprise, and asked: "Then how many calamities did you spend?"
The boy from Qingyan said with a face full of pain: "The price of red god cinnabar is five catties of one calamity jade. Five million catties is one million calamity jade. Since I was enlightened by Lord Dao, up to now, I have a total of 270 calamity jade." One hundred thousand calamity jade, now one million has been spent."
"However." Qingyan boy said with excitement again: "Now the price of Red God cinnabar has risen to three catties of a calamity jade. By then, I only need to sell three million catties to make back my original investment, and I can even make a profit. Keep the two million pounds for your own use!”
Fang Jian looked at Qingyan Tongzi speechlessly, and then said, "Then I advise you to sell it now."
"Oh?" Qingyan boy looked at Fang Jian curiously and said, "Why? Actually, I want to wait a little longer to see if it can go up a little bit more."
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Speculation is not advisable. You'd better sell some as soon as possible to get back your capital. I will never lie to you."
Qingyan boy couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a while, he nodded and said, "Well, Lord Hongqing, I believe you. I will go to Penglai Tianjie tomorrow to sell three million catties first."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived outside Taiyuan Palace. Qingyan Tongzi immediately said: "Oh, this is Taiyuan Palace, where the 'Three Lords and Two Envoys' of Taishi's Immortal Capital work."
"The three kings are: the left deputy king of Taishi Xiandu, the right deputy king of Taishi Xiandu, and the imperial examination master of Taishi Xiandu."
"The two envoys are: Taishi Immortal Capital's tribulation envoy, and Taishi Immortal Capital's redemption envoy."
Speaking of this, Qingyan Tongzi further explained: "Hongqing Zhenjun, you are now the 'Taishi Immortal Lord'. Just under Dao Lord, the left deputy prince and the right deputy prince are your deputy princes."
Fang Jian nodded to express his understanding, and then Qingyan Tongzi added: "However, there are only three people in the 'Three Lords and Two Envoys' now, namely Jun Wen Tianxiang, who was admitted to Taishi Immortal City, and Lei Shen Fengli, the tribulation envoy of Taishi Immortal City. As well as the redeemer of Taishi Immortal City, Meng Lingzhenren, the positions of left deputy lord and right deputy lord are temporarily vacant, and Lord Dao has not yet found a suitable immortal official for this position."
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded, and then the two of them went to the Kaocheng Hall of Taiyuan Palace, where Jun Wen Tianxiang, the Kaocheng Emperor, was busy.
Fang Jian looked up and saw that the entire Kaocheng Hall was different from the common Immortal Official Office. It was more like a huge bookstore because there were bookshelves everywhere in the hall, and the bookshelves were filled with jade slips.
In the center of the entire Kaocheng Hall, there is a huge bronze tripod. The fairy light inside the bronze tripod shines brightly, making the entire bronze tripod bright.
"Kaochengjun." Qingyan boy looked at Wen Tianxiang who was busy in front of the bronze tripod and shouted.
Wen Tianxiang turned around and immediately saw Qingyan Tongzi and Fang Jian. His face was slightly startled, then he put down the jade slip in his hand and walked over, "Friend Qingyan, Zhenjun Hongqing, why are you here?" Wen Tianxiang was surprised. Di Chao Fang Jian and Qing Yan Ji bowed their heads and asked.
Qingyan boy pointed at Fang Jian and said with a smile: "Kao Chengjun, Lord Dao has just appointed Zhenjun Hongqing as the Taishi Immortal Lord of our Taishi Immortal Capital."
"Oh?" Wen Tianxiang looked surprised when he heard this, and then smiled: "So from now on we will work under Zhenjun Hongqing?"
"Yes." Qingyan boy nodded and said.
Wen Tianxiang immediately turned around and bowed to Fang Jianji, saying: "Wen Tianxiang, who has passed the imperial examination in Taishi Immortal City, pays his respects to the True Lord Hongqing."
Fang Jian hurriedly stepped forward to help Wen Tianxiang up and said, "You don't need to be polite to be a gentleman. From now on, I will ask you for more advice about Taishi Immortal Capital."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Wen Tianxiang said: "Whenever Hongqing Zhenjun has questions, he must tell you everything he knows."
Fang Jian smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the huge bronze tripod and asked, "What is that?"
Wen Tianxiang turned around and took a look, then smiled and said: "Oh, that's the 'Cauldron of All Living Beings'. The good and evil deeds of all cultivating beings in the three realms can be cast into jade slips in the cauldron for me to check."
"Did you pass the exam?" Fang Jian asked Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang nodded and said: "Yes, I use this method to test the good and evil deeds of all practicing beings in the three realms. If they pass the test, they will be reported to the Dao Lord for review. After the Dao Lord has reviewed them, they can be handed over to the Tribulation Envoy." Bring down the calamity'."
Qingyan Tongzi added on the side: "Thunder God Feng Fei is the main god in charge of the Lei Department, so he is permanently stationed in the Lei Department and does not serve in the Taishi Immortal Capital."
Fang Jian nodded to express his understanding. Then Fang Jian looked at the jade slips. Sure enough, they clearly recorded the good, evil, and achievements of all living beings in the Three Realms.
Then Fang Jian and Qingyan Tongzi left Kaocheng Hall and came to Jieshu Hall. The layout of Jieshu Hall and Kaocheng Hall was the same, with a 'Tripod of All Living Beings' and rows of neat bookshelves.
"I record here the sinful karma and merit of all cultivating beings in the three realms. Based on these sinful karma, I will increase or decrease the intensity of the lightning tribulation of immortality. The higher the sin karma, the stronger the thunder tribulation, and the higher the merit, the weaker the thunder tribulation." Master Meng Ling said, and then added: "I am also responsible for the atonement of the merits of gods, loose immortals, and monks. You know this Master Hongqing."
"Well, I know that." Fang Jian nodded.
After seeing the Jiexu Palace, Fang Jian and Qingyan Tongzi went to Qiluyuan, because Qiluyuan was also a subordinate department of Taishi Immortal Capital.
After arriving at Qilu Courtyard, I didn't see many people, and in the entire Qilu Courtyard, only Master Zhang Tianshi of Lunzhang was currently in charge.
"Immortal Lord Taishi?" After hearing Qingyan Tongzi's introduction, Master Zhang looked at Fang Jian with surprise, "Immortal Lord Hongqing, it seems that Lord Dao values you very much."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, the five emperors all value me."
"." Zhang Tianshi's face darkened, you are too rude, but this seems to be the truth and I can't refute it.
"Master Zhang, where are the two vice-presidents and those who enforce the law?" Qingyan boy asked Zhang Tianshi at this time.
Zhang Tianshi heard this and said with a smile: "Oh, Taoist fellows Chen Tuan and Shemo Teng both went to inspect the precepts of Taoism and Buddhism, and the envoys who enforced the laws also went with them, so they are not in Qilüyuan now."
"That's a pity." Qingyan Tongzi shook his head and said.
Fang Jian smiled and said: "It's no pity. I'm here today. Doesn't Master Zhang know about it? Besides, there will be decrees to be promulgated later. I can just come back when they come back."
The Qingyan boy nodded and said, "That's true."
Then Fang Jian learned about the duties of Qiluyuan under the introduction of Zhang Tianshi, and finally left with Qingyan Tongzi.
The next day, Fang Jian walked out of the Zhengfa Hall and happened to see Qingyan boy walking out of Taishi Palace.
Qingyan boy also saw Fang Jian, immediately waved his hand towards Fang Jian and walked to the bottom of the steps of Zhengfa Hall.
"Hongqing Zhenjun." Qingyan boy shouted.
Fang Jian stood on the steps and returned the salute, then asked: "Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"
Qingyan Tongzi said: "Yesterday, Lord Hongqing, didn't you tell me to sell cinnabar as soon as possible? I just took leave from Lord Dao, and now I'm going to Penglai Tianjie to sell cinnabar."
"Oh, okay." Fang Jian nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist, go quickly."
Qingyan boy nodded, then said goodbye and left Taishi Immortal Palace.
As Qingyan boy left, Fang Jian also called for the third prince, then got on his horse and rode the third prince to Shenxiao Jade Mansion.
After arriving at the Shenxiao Jade Mansion and entering the Shenxiao Immortal Palace, Fang Jian went straight to the Shenxiao Palace to meet Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole.
Although Fang Jian is no longer an immortal official under the jurisdiction of Dongji Qinghua Emperor, Dongji Qinghua Emperor is the head of the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao and a highly respected emperor in heaven. Fang Jian is still just a 'minister' in front of him.
In the Shenxiao Palace, Emperor Qinghua of Dongji couldn't help but wonder after hearing Fang Jian's report: "Suppress the price of Red God Cinnabar?"
"Yes." Fang Jian said: "In the name of our God of Justice, we issued an edict to Shenxiao Yufu, and then Shenxiao Yufu and Taixuan Province issued an edict to stabilize the price of Red God Cinnabar, and the Four Continents Tianjun Mansion established a 'parity price' Cang', Red God Cinnabar and other items will all be sold to the monks of the Great World of Jambudvipa at a flat price."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji nodded when he heard this and said: "Since you issue an edict in the name of the God of Justice, it is not under the jurisdiction of my Divine Xiaoyu Mansion. You can just issue an edict."
Fang Jianji bowed his head and said, "I'm here to report it first. When the emperor agrees, I'll issue an edict."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji smiled and said: "When did you become such a good person? They say you don't recognize your relatives, but I think you are quite skilled in the world."
Fang Jian bowed and said, "The emperor is overly praised."
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, the boy Mingxu who was beside Emperor Qinghua of the East Ji couldn't stand immediately. He quickly stood up and said, "Master, I want to take a leave of absence for a while."
When Emperor Qinghua of Dongji heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How much Red God Cinnabar have you collected?"
The boy from Mingxu was startled. He did not expect that Emperor Qinghua of Dongji actually knew about his cultivation of cinnabar. He immediately did not dare to hide it and said: "Back to the master, my disciple has collected ten million kilograms."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he just heard Emperor Qinghua of Dongji say: "Take out five million catties and hand them over to the Grain Institute. You can sell the remaining five million catties."
"Disciple, I sincerely obey the master's decree. Thank you very much, master." The boy from Mingxu quickly bowed and thanked him, and then left the Shenxiao Immortal Palace quickly.
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji looked at the leaving Mingxu boy and shook his head, then sighed and said: "All living beings are greedy, and even the boy around me is not immune."
"This is not a bad thing." Fang Jian said with a smile: "At least the robbery jade is a good thing. There is no shame in earning the robbery jade."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji looked at Fang Jian and asked, "Did you learn about this from Qingyan Tongzi?"
"Yes." Fang Jian said, "I just found out yesterday."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji nodded and said: "I just learned the news yesterday, and today I have prepared an edict to stabilize prices. This judicial god really needs you, Fang Jian, to do it. The Great Heavenly Lord will never see the wrong person."
