Chapter 359: Chapter 356: Poverty God Returns to His Place, Wholesale Divine Positions

Old Master Wang, whose brain was slightly congested, raised his hand and pressed hard on his temples, barely managing to suppress the throbbing vein that threatened to bulge.

Then he stood in place and took several deep breaths.

Finally, he forcibly suppressed the urge to undo his belt and step forward to give the old man a "watering".

"I’ve completely seen through it now, these people openly claim to be the ’Nine Soldiers’, but privately they’re all a bunch of Old Sixes!

Compared to the actions of the Victorious Fighting King, the Great Fate, and the Cloud Lord, I should never have had too much expectation for these high-ups who have made a name for themselves.

A group of cunning individuals who have lived at least several hundred to a thousand years.

In them, ’integrity’—a part that not only wears out easily and never regenerates, but also drops out when one is not careful—is probably completely gone long ago.

Apart from those young friends in the Thunder Department, who are mostly straightforward, I must be cautious when dealing with others from now on.

After all, just by putting myself in their shoes, that situation... hiss—!"

He casually threw the three "Emperor Bao Sheng discount cards" into the Ghost Realm’s Yama Palace.

Wang Yuan no longer held much hope for calling upon the Green Seal Sage to descend upon the battlefield and help him gain victory when encountering a formidable enemy.

When that moment came, if the old man shamelessly shouted, "This card cannot be used in combat, I can’t defeat them!",

he would dare to swallow the discount card.

"Well, at least after conducting the ’Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles’, Beimang Mountain will no longer accidentally explode and reach the sky.

Even if I can only really absorb Dushuo Immortal Mountain, like I did with Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, by moving all three of them away from the Earth’s meridian nodes in the future.

For now, I can at least start planning the construction of peripheral buildings and arrays bit by bit, shaping this place into a Peach Blossom Island belonging to ’Yin Mountain Taoism’.

By the time I ascend to Green Seal, maybe I could use this Peach Blossom Island’s master position

to promote one of the ten kings of Yama, the King Yanluo, to rise one more rank and become the Eastern Ghost Emperor!"

Wang Yuan stepped out and returned to the island.

He glanced at the two guardian mountain beasts—Old Black the big black dog and the three-legged golden toad, the Great Saint—who seemed to get along very well and were exchanging work experiences.

With a wave of his hand, he released the Ghost Pirate Fleet from the Ghost Realm, which, despite numbering over ten thousand, were becoming increasingly useless in battle.

Wuu wuu wuu...

As tattered black sails connected and formed clouds, the sky around Dushuo Mountain darkened suddenly.

A layer of cold mist gradually rose, enveloping the entire vast island within it.

Subsequently, under the leadership of a few spiritually aware Ghost Generals, groups of Armor-clad Yin Soldiers landed on the island to start constructing various infrastructures.

After all, these were Netherworld Ghost Soldiers refined through Yin Mountain Taoist Skill, capable of interfering with objects in the mortal world.

At the same time, a gateway to the Deceit Market also opened, delivering a continuous stream of building materials from all over to this location.

Thus began the large-scale construction.

In the following days,

Old Master Wang, after running around for several months, finally got to enjoy a somewhat stable routine.

He oversaw the construction progress on Dushuo Mountain; patrolled various Cloud Tower Ghost Markets...

He had expansive talks with his Big Cousin about the world, imbuing him with governance systems hundreds of years ahead...

And of course, he diligently (and happily) cultivated with Huang Wu, striving to elevate her to the Yellow Seal Realm in the shortest time possible.

Moreover, whether it was the matchmaking effect of the elder sister,

"Palm Dancing" Xie Yanji actually started making frequent trips to Dengzhou Prefecture, causing Wang Yuan to bump into her several times.

Perhaps thanks to the guidance of this Martial Saint’s daughter, and having consumed a Top Grade Flat Peach to rapidly reach the Small Success Realm of a Military Leader, Zhou Jinhuan saw his Peace Saber Technique advance leaps and bounds during this time.

The other family members were not idle either.

The two True Dragon Taoist friends, Qingyan and Long Shao, after each consuming a top-grade "Purple Pattern Peach", began their dual cultivation in seclusion within the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land.

They also worked together to refine the Clear and Muddy Dragon Ball snatched from the One-Eyed Stone Man.

With the miraculous fruit that could create a Yellow Seal Mage at hand, they easily saved themselves decades of arduous cultivation.

At this time,

the various large and small grotto heavens in the Blessed Land, which contained the hopes for a happy life for the latter half, and even the descendants of the Thunder Gods, had also been completed along with the Heluo Cycle Array.

After the subsequent embellishment and decoration, the Immortal Officials began moving into them with their families.

As the Nine Soldiers’ first open confrontation with Sects, the battle of Beimang Mountain, which completely eradicated two Sects in Junzhou using thunderous methods, indeed made a fierce name for itself throughout the Red County Divine Land’s Cultivation World, deterring countless demonic beings from approaching.

Conversely, Beimang Mountain Blessed Land made a name for itself among the Nine Soldiers, tempting many Immortal Officials.

As a result, Beimang Mountain, which gathered a large number of Nine Soldiers’ Immortal Officials, became one of the safest places in Red County Divine Land, aside from the "Pengxuan Grotto Heaven" and many powerful Tao Lineages’ Mountain Temples.

However, the Immortal Officials who flocked to take advantage of the situation didn’t realize

that Boss Wang’s "improvement" housing project were well arranged for them, clear and simple.

An overseas Immortal Mountain far surpassing Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, beyond the infiltration of Emperor Mu’s "Three Vultures Power Technique" by two hundred years and the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique" by two thousand years,

Of course, even if Dushuo Mountain was entirely built, it would only open up bit by bit once the reserves of Beimang Mountain Blessed Land were spent.

And even if someone desired it, the total quantity would be strictly controlled.

Because at that time, the portal of the Deceit Market would connect Beimang Mountain Blessed Land and Dushuo Mountain—and even the Monkey Date Collection outside the "Pengxuan Grotto Heaven."

By changing the paths to the ends of the earth, the defensive forces could naturally be shared, eliminating the worry of accidental exposure leading to an increasing number of enemies seeking retribution.

Time flew swiftly until June arrived.

Wang Yuan did not wait for Sage Wu to finish his seclusion but was instead greeted first by another unexpected event.

Early one morning, just after freshening up, Wang Xiaoyuan was earnestly applying makeup to his sister’s eyebrows.

Nourished by the "Yin Yang Bright Method," the young female ghost grew even more beautiful.

Suddenly, the Small Book of Life and Death, black and white in color, leaped out from within him.

Rustling...

It flipped rapidly through its pages in front of him, the book’s master, and opened by itself to the page recording his hundreds of Yin Officials.

San Tu Yin Official: Wang Wenhua; Three Vultures Power Divine General: Zhu Bo’an; Black Law Judge: Nie Renxiong; Black Law Judge: Zeng Wentai...

After expanding the influence to the surrounding two prefectures of Dengzhou Prefecture, the number of Yin Officials also doubled.

The names at the front were all very familiar to Wang Yuan.

However, after these names, an additional line of new characters appeared.

——Earth Department Divine Position, Yin Department Judge of Financial Records: Xin Xiaowei.

"Eh? This is one of the seventy-two divine positions I saw among the many Yin Department Ghost positions in the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net.

Has someone received a Ghost God position?"

He immediately frowned slightly:

"However, after this Immortal Official Xin Xiaowei took up the Yin Department divine position, why did her name appear in my Small Book of Life and Death?"

Among the positions of the Yin Department Ghost God,

aside from those temporarily unclaimed Heavenly Department divine positions, and the mid-to-lower level Yin Officials’ positions filled by a large number of ghosts,

the most divine positions for Earth Department and Mystical Department Ghost Gods were provided not by the ten courts, but by the seventy-two departments:

Heavenly Treasury Department, Hell Department, Official Department, Subordinate Affairs Department, Rebirth Department, Innocent Death Department, Life Demanding Bureau, Calibration Department, Merit Department, Five Grains Department, Noble and Base Department...

The main judges of these seventy-two departments are all Earth Department Ghost Gods, including:

Yin Department Judge of Heavenly People Cases, Yin Department Judge of Life and Rank, Yin Department Death Case Judge, Yin Department Judge of Extending Life and Blessings, Yin Department Judge of Financial Records...

Among them, the main judges of the Rewarding Good Department, Punishment Department, Investigation Department, and Yin Law Department are the four major judges.

And this divine position of Earth Department Xin Xiaowei has received—the Yin Department Judge of Financial Records—governs over the Noble and Base Department among the seventy-two departments.

[Biography: Xin Xiaowei

Divine Position: God of Good and Evil Department, Poverty God/Yin Department Ghost Judge of Financial Case

Age: Nineteen

Life Chart: -3 Prosperous Self but Impoverished Wealth Chart

(A natural talent with exceptional aptitude, strong physical body, free from all illnesses. Yet her wealth diminishes like water, not retaining a single droplet, an extraordinarily rare impoverished fate among thousands!)

Cultivation: "Taoist Military Skill" fourth realm, Military Leader at Small Success can contend with "Earth Essence," unfurnished in Daoist Skill.

Remaining wealth: Jianming Tongbao five coins

Yin Morality: Seven hundred thousand]

Note: The book’s master is entitled to one percent of the Yin Morality she earns henceforth.

"Hiss! A Poverty God?!"

The moment he saw this biography, Wang Yuan’s hand involuntarily trembled, almost dropping the Small Book of Life and Death.

And he couldn’t help but want to scream: Get away, don’t come over!

He reflexively thought of the pig demon selling spicy stir-fried pig kidneys and the deer demon selling fresh deer penises on the North Sea Coast, who, because they were so poor, finally escaped with their lives from the clutches of Earth Mother Black Heaven due to their poverty, and ultimately disappeared without a trace (Chapter 302).

"This Poverty God, although a military genius, is genuinely poor!

In this year of great disaster, a stone of corn requires at least two taels of silver, that is, two thousand copper coins. With the mere five coins in her purse, she cannot even afford half a pound of rice.

Eating a white flour bun seems too extravagant for her, doesn’t it? What a miserable Military Leader she is!"

Moreover, the first one among the Nine Soldiers to successfully take on a position of our own Yin Department Ghost God was the Poverty God, whom everyone couldn’t wait to send away.

This was certainly not a good omen!

That one percent of Yin Morality earned for free, Old Master Wang did not want even a bit of it.

This girl was already so poor that, even if it was just one percent, it might cost her life, right?

He didn’t want to earn such life-threatening money at all.

"No, I can’t wait for Old Man Sage Wu to come out of seclusion anymore, I have to go to the Nine Soldiers right now and see what exactly is wrong with those divine positions of the Yin Department in the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net.

How did they suddenly get tied up with the Small Book of Life and Death?"

And he had to go not just by himself, but he was also taking Huang Wu, Qingyan, Long Shao, and Nie Renxiong with him, and while they were at it... to wholesale divine positions!
