"Greetings to Lord Hongqing!" The thirteen land gods of Duanjie Mountain, plus Hong Yuanhua, Lu Fengxian and others, all bowed to Fang Jian.

The imperial edict of Taixuandu Province has been issued. From now on, Duanjie Mountain will be Fang Jian's Taoist temple. According to the saying of the human world, this is Fang Jian's private fiefdom.

Just as the Queen Mother of the West said, Fang Jian has a shallow foundation. Although he has strong personal strength, his power in the Heavenly Court is very weak.

After all, Heaven is a place where rules and reason prevail. Personal strength is important in Heaven, but it is not enough to influence the decisions of the bosses.

So the question was, how to increase Fang Jian's power in the Heavenly Court in a very short period of time? Jiu Tian Xuan Nu came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

While Fang Jian was being conferred a title of nobility outside the capital, he was also allowed to serve as an official in the Heavenly Court, so that Fang Jian could build up his own power.

So now Fang Jian is no longer the God of Duanjie Mountain, but the God of Hongqing of Duanjie Mountain.

And from now on, all affairs within Duanjie Mountain will be in charge of Fang Jian, including the appointment of immortal officials. Fang Jian only needs to select the people to be used and then report to Taixuandu Province.

"Okay, everyone stand up." Fang Jian waved his hand and said to everyone.

After everyone expressed their gratitude, they stood up.

Fang Jian pointed to both sides of the hall and said, "Please sit down. I don't need to be so particular here."

Then everyone sat down cross-legged on both sides again, Hong Yuanhua, Lu Fengxian and others on the right, and the land gods on the left.

Fang Jian asked Lu Fengxian, "The remaining Dao Palaces must be completed as soon as possible. Also, are there any Feiling Pills available?"

Lu Fengxian replied, "My Lord, there is no shortage of Feiling Pills. There are abundant spiritual herbs in the Broken Boundary Mountain. It is more than enough to make Feiling Pills for another year."

Fang Jian said: "It is not necessary for a year. After the Taoist Palace is completed, make Feiling Pills for another month and store them in the Mountain God's Abode for future use."

"Yes, sir." Lu Fengxian bowed and agreed.

Then Fang Jian said to the land gods on the left: "From now on, you can receive ten Feiling Pills every month for your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the land gods were overjoyed. They had not expected that there would be benefits for them in this, so they all bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord God, for your generous gift."

Fang Jian said to everyone, "From now on, you must do your best to protect the lives of the people around you. I will not treat you unfairly. These ten Feiling Pills per month are just the beginning."

Upon hearing this, the land gods immediately stood up and bowed to Fang Jian, saying, "We will abide by the instructions and work diligently from now on. We will not be negligent."

"Sit down." Fang Jian smiled and pressed his hand.

After the land gods took their seats, Fang Jian said to Hong Yuanhua, "Hong Yuanhua."

Hong Yuanhua immediately bowed and replied, "I'm here."

Fang Jian said, "I will petition the Grand Envoy to appoint you as my successor as the new God of Broken Boundary Mountain."

As soon as Fang Jian said this, the eyes of those land gods almost popped out. Look, they have been land gods for thousands of years, but they are not as good as others who have a good boss.

Hong Yuanhua was originally a demon cultivator, and he had committed a crime, but after being protected by Fang Jian, he had a smooth journey. First, his crime was forgiven and he became a seventh-rank mountain patrol general, and now he is going to be recommended as a sixth-rank mountain god.

Oh, I regret it so much. If only they had appeared by Fang Jian's side to help him when he first came to Duanjie Mountain, it would have been great.

Zhou Ye was especially regretful. He was the first one to meet Fang Jian. At that time, Fang Jian had just taken office and sent him to Mingyue Cave to deliver a message.

At that time, he had the best chance to get the upper hand, but after delivering the message, he returned to the land temple. He did not want to get involved in the fight with those demon cultivators and only wanted to protect himself.

Now that I think about it, I was too timid and missed an opportunity to advance myself.

Hong Yuanhua was suddenly stunned. Even just now, he had no idea who would become the new mountain god.

In his heart, Fang Jian is the eternal mountain god of Duanjie Mountain, and he has always been the mountain patrol general under Fang Jian.

But when Fang Jian said that he wanted to recommend him to become a mountain god, he realized that Fang Jian was going to leave Duanjie Mountain and go to the Heavenly Court to take up a position.

Hong Yuanhua's first reaction was to decline the position because he felt he was not qualified to be the mountain god.

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was stunned again. If he was not qualified to be the mountain god, then who was qualified?

Lu Fengxian? Impossible. He and Fang Jian hadn't been together as long as I had. Those land gods? Even more impossible. With their limited strength, if they became mountain gods, they would probably be bullied every day.

At the same time, Hong Yuanhua felt deep down in his heart that he was indeed suitable for the position of mountain god, but if he didn't even resign, how would the God look at him?

Just as Hong Yuanhua was struggling, Fang Jian spoke up, "Broken Boundary Mountain will be my dojo from now on. If I don't have someone close and trustworthy to look after it, how can I feel at ease in my position at the Heavenly Court?"

When Fang Jian said this, Hong Yuanhua finally had no more hesitation. He immediately bowed and said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Hong Yuanhua will definitely live up to your high expectations."

"Okay." Fang Jian smiled and said, "You can't be the only one in Broken Boundary Mountain. I need to select a patrol general. Do you have any candidates?"

When Fang Jian said this, Lu Fengxian on the side almost jumped up, "Me! This patrol general is of course me, my loving father!"

But Fang Jian made it very clear that Hong Yuanhua had to make a choice, so Lu Fengxian could only suppress his inner excitement, clenched his fists and pressed them on his legs, with a gleam in his eyes.

Hong Yuanhua didn't even think twice before saying, "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend Fellow Daoist Lu for the position of Patrol General."

Lu Fengxian slammed his fist against his thigh, then instantly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Brother Hong Dao, for your recommendation. Lord God, I am willing to serve as the Patrol General."
