"Yeah." Fang Jian nodded, and then the two of them came to the Kaocheng Hall of Taiyuan Palace. Kaocheng Jun Wen Tianxiang was busy in the hall.
Fang Jian looked up and saw that the entire Kaocheng Hall was different from the common rooms for immortal officials. It was more like a huge library, as the hall was filled with bookshelves on all four sides, and the bookshelves were piled high with jade slips.
In the very center of the Kaocheng Hall, there is a huge bronze tripod. The inside of the tripod is shining with fairy light, illuminating the entire tripod.
"Kao Chengjun." The Qingyan boy shouted at Wen Tianxiang who was busy in front of the bronze tripod.
Wen Tianxiang turned around and immediately saw the boy Qingyan and Fang Jian. He was slightly startled, then put down the jade slip in his hand and walked over. "Fellow Daoist Qingyan, True Lord Hongqing, why are you here?" Wen Tianxiang asked Fang Jian and Qingyan in surprise and bowed to them.
The Qingyan boy pointed at Fang Jian and said with a smile, "Lord Kaocheng, Lord Dao just appointed True Lord Hongqing as the Taishi Immortal Lord of our Taishi Immortal City."
"Oh?" Wen Tianxiang was surprised when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "So from now on we will be working under Master Hongqing?"
"Yes." Qingyan boy nodded.
Wen Tianxiang immediately turned and bowed to Fang Jian, saying, "I, Wen Tianxiang, the Supreme Lord of the Immortal Capital, pay my respects to the Supreme Lord of Hongqing."
Fang Jian quickly stepped forward to help Wen Tianxiang up and said, "Don't be so polite, Lord Kaocheng. I will need your advice on matters concerning Taishi Xiandu in the future."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Wen Tianxiang said, "If True Lord Hongqing has any questions, I will tell you everything I know."
Fang Jian smiled slightly, then turned his gaze towards 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 'Cadan of All Living Beings'. The good and evil deeds of all the spiritual beings in the Three Realms can be cast into jade slips in the cauldron for me to review."
"Did you pass the exam?" Fang Jian asked Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang nodded and said, "Yes, I use this method to evaluate the good and evil deeds of all the spiritual beings in the Three Realms. If they pass the evaluation, they will be reported to the Great Dao Lord for review. After the Great Dao Lord's review, they can be handed over to the Tribulation Envoy to 'Summon the Tribulation'."
Qingyan Tongzi added, "Thunder God Feng Lun is the chief deity in charge of the Thunder Department, so he resides in the Thunder Department and does not serve in Taishi Xiandu."
Fang Jian nodded to show his understanding, and then Fang Jian checked the jade slips again. Sure enough, they clearly recorded the good and evil deeds and achievements of all living beings in the Three Realms.
Afterwards, Fang Jian and Qing Yan Tongzi left the Kaocheng Hall and came to the Jieju Hall. The layout of the Jieju Hall and the Kaocheng Hall were the same, with a "Zhongsheng Ding" and rows of neatly arranged bookshelves.
"I record the sins and merits of all the cultivators in the Three Realms. I increase or decrease the intensity of their immortal thunder tribulations based on these sins and merits. The higher the sins, the stronger the thunder tribulation; the higher the merits, the weaker the thunder tribulation." The redemption envoy, Master Meng Ling, said, adding, "I am also responsible for the atonement of sins by gods, immortals, and cultivators. You are aware of this, Master Hongqing."
"Yeah, I know that." Fang Jian nodded.
After visiting the Hall of Redemption, Fang Jian and Qingyan Tongzi went to the Qiluyuan, because the Qiluyuan was also a subordinate department of Taishi Xiandu.
After arriving at Qiluyuan, I didn't see many people, and now there was only Zhang Tianshi, the wheelmaster, working in the Qilu Hall in the entire Qiluyuan.
"Immortal Lord Taishi?" After hearing Qingyan Tongzi's introduction, Zhang Tianshi looked at Fang Jian in surprise, "True Lord Hongqing, it seems that the Great Dao Lord thinks highly of you."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Indeed, the Five Imperial Emperors all think highly of me."
"..." Zhang Tianshi's face darkened. "You're too rude, but this seems to be the truth, I can't refute it..."
"Master Zhang, where are the two deputy deans and those who enforce the law?" Qingyan Tongzi asked Master Zhang Tianshi at this time.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianshi smiled and said, "Oh, Daoist Fellows Chen Tuan and Shemoteng have gone to inspect the precepts of Taoism and Buddhism, and the Vinaya Enforcers have gone with them, so they are not in the Qiluyuan now."
"That's a pity." Qingyan boy shook his head.
Fang Jian smiled and said, "There's nothing to regret. I'm here today, doesn't Zhang Tianshi know about it? Besides, there will be a decree to be issued later. I can just come back after they return."
Upon hearing this, Qingyan Tongzi nodded and said, "That's true."
Then Fang Jian learned about the duties of the Qiluyuan with 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 Tongzi walking out of the Taishi Palace.
Qingyan Tongzi also saw Fang Jian, and immediately waved to Fang Jian and walked to the bottom of the steps of the Zhengfa Hall.
"True Lord Hongqing." The boy Qingyan bowed and called out.
Fang Jian stood on the steps and bowed in return, then asked, "Where are you going, fellow Daoist?"
The Qingyan boy said, "Didn't you, True Lord Hongqing, tell me yesterday to sell the cinnabar as soon as possible? I just asked for leave from the Great Lord and am now going to Penglai Tianjie to sell cinnabar."
"Oh, okay." Fang Jian nodded and said, "Then go quickly, fellow Taoist."
The boy Qingyan nodded, said goodbye, and left Taishi Immortal Palace.
As Qingyan boy left, Fang Jian also called the Third Prince, then jumped on his horse and rode the Third Prince to the Shenxiao Jade Palace.
After arriving at the Shenxiao Jade Mansion and entering the Shenxiao Immortal Palace, Fang Jian went straight to the Shenxiao Palace to meet the Dongji Qinghua Emperor.
Although Fang Jian is no longer an immortal official under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Emperor Qinghua, the Eastern Emperor Qinghua is the leader of the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao and an extremely respected emperor in the Heavenly Court. Fang Jian is still just a "minister" in front of him.
Inside the Divine Heaven Palace, the Eastern Qinghua Emperor heard Fang Jian's report and asked in confusion, "Stabilize the price of Red God Cinnabar?"
