Chapter 973: Xiandan Hall’s Bad Debt

Although the Great Zhou was established, unfortunately it was unable to gather enough luck for the human race like the Shang Dynasty.

In this great calamity of conferring the gods, the Heavenly Court made a fortune.

The civil service is finally fully staffed. Even if there are still one or two vacancies, they can be replaced from other places.

Xiao Zhen also received good news that he was promoted.

Because a large number of people filled the vacancies, but these guys were all disciples of saints in the past, and although they were not arrogant, they were also arrogant.

There are very few people like Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who swore allegiance to the Jade Emperor at the first opportunity.

Moreover, this old fellow Li Jing is not very strong, and he mainly relies on the exquisite pagoda in his hand. Otherwise, he would have been shot to death by his eldest son long ago. How could he be worthy of the position of Marshal of Heaven?

Xiao Zhen became the deputy head of the Tianting Xiandan Hall and was given the title of Miaodan Zhenjun.

As for the hall master? Of course only Lao Jun can be qualified, who else has that qualification?

However, Laojun usually stays in his own alchemy room, so Xiao Zhen is the one who actually manages the Xiandan Hall.

When he first took office, Xiao Zhen thought it was a lucrative job, but after checking the accounts, he found many problems.

Because the Heavenly Court also has to consider the ways of the world, some alchemists in the Immortal Pill Hall will occasionally do some small tricks.

Although it cannot be said that he was extremely greedy, but if he took away some magical herbs and elixirs, the number of vacancies would be alarming over time.

In the past, when there was a shortage of people in Heaven, even if the Jade Emperor knew about it, he would turn a blind eye as long as the people below did not do anything too excessive.

Occasionally, one or two people who go too far would be singled out for severe punishment to scare the others.

The situation of Taishang Laojun was even simpler. He himself didn't care much about the affairs, but as a result, a lot of bad debts appeared in Xiandantang.

Xiao Zhen felt overwhelmed. No wonder there were so many alchemists in Heaven who were better than him, but he was chosen for this position.

If I can’t fill this terrible hole, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay in heaven anymore.

Xiao Zhen even secretly suspected that the Jade Emperor and Laojun would use him as a scapegoat.

This is just like Boss Cao targeting the grain officer. As long as he says that it was you who embezzled the grain, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have a hundred mouths.

However, Laojun was still reasonable and said that there would inevitably be some problems with the accounts. The Jade Emperor also met with Xiao Zhen in person about this matter.

So he should be able to rest in peace for the time being. If one day these two big guys really want to get rid of them, he, Xiao, will not be a pushover.

At worst, I can sweep away all the resources of the Xiandan Hall and then run away from this low-profile version of the primitive world.

However, Xiao Zhen is still somewhat unfamiliar with management.

In the past, although he was the boss of the power he had established, he had always left it to his wives to manage.

Now that I am personally managing such a large department, I have to plan it carefully.

Therefore, Xiao Zhen found a set of get off work and bonus system from his unforgettable memories when he was a worker on Earth.

The alchemists in Xiandan Hall, who had been rather lax before, began to work overtime desperately for the monthly prizes of immortal weapons and annual prizes of magical powers.

Thanks to these people's hard work, the Heavenly Palace has a lot more elixirs, but the supply of immortal herbs is a little insufficient.

A hundred years later, Xiao Zhen also became a second-rank official in the Heavenly Court, and his position was firmly established.

It was not long after this that Buddhism was established.

The establishment of Buddhism was due to Laozi's discovery that the influence of Western religions was growing and would likely affect the orthodox status of Taoism in the future.

Therefore, he specially sent the captured Jiejiao disciple Duobao to the West and helped him establish Buddhism, hoping to use this method to divide the fortune of the West.

It's a pity that even saints can miscalculate. The two saints of Western religion were notoriously shameless. They did not reject or suppress Duobao who came to the West. Instead, they took the initiative to merge the entire Western religion into Buddhism.

From then on, because saints were not allowed to interfere in the prehistoric world at will, Laozi could only let it go on the surface. As for whether he had other plans in secret, only he himself knew.

From then on, Duobao called himself the Tathagata Buddha and completely severed his ties with the former Jiejiao.

I believe that Master Tongtian will be the one who suffers the most after knowing this.

After all, he had adopted Duobao long before he became a saint, and had been caring for and nurturing him carefully all the way.

However, at this moment he has been left outside the Thirty-three Heavens. Unless he wants to break off with Daozu, there is no way for him to interfere in the prehistoric world.

After the Heavenly Court added a large number of officials, its operation became much more efficient.

During this period, Xiao Zhen went home twice, and each time he left an incarnation behind to cover him up. Even if other gods found out, they would not expose him.

They just thought that Xiao Zhen was going to do something else. Unless there was a grudge or a conflict of interest, no tough guy would offend his colleagues for no reason.

Moreover, once you offend Xiandantang, there is no guarantee that there will be problems with the quality of the elixirs supplied in the future, and there may even be delays and deductions.

Xiao Zhen also improved his cultivation to the late stage of True Immortal, and his position in Heaven became more stable. After all, strength is everything.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, which had replaced the Shang Dynasty, was also on the verge of collapse at this moment. Although it did not end so quickly, the internal rebellion of the princes had never stopped.

Perhaps due to the lack of human luck, the feudal princes of the Great Zhou were all ambitious and wanted to replace the Zhou royal family.

I have been in this low-profile version of the primitive world for more than 100 years, and almost 10 years have passed in other worlds outside.

Xiao Zhen had just finished making a few batches of pills one day, and the quality looked pretty good. They were made from 3000-year-old peaches left over from the Peach Banquet.

Eating one pill can not only greatly improve one's cultivation level but also prolong one's lifespan.

There were more than 50 in total. Xiao Zhen kept 10 for himself and gave the rest to the group to send out red envelopes.

Xiong Ba: "Hahaha, thank you group leader, with these two immortal pills I snatched, I can immediately reach the Dou Sheng realm."

Yue Buqun: "I was unlucky and only got one, but I plan to split it into two and take it with my wife."

Zi Yan: "This is a peach-flavored pill. It tastes good. I don't think I've eaten it before. Is it a new product you made? Send some more quickly. Our daughter likes it."

Xiao Zhen: "These are made from the peaches left over from the Peach Banquet, so of course they taste good. The Peach Garden is not the Immortal Medicine Garden managed by the Immortal Pill Hall, so I don't have the authority to go in and out at will to take out peaches to make pills."

There actually seem to be many peach trees in the Peach Garden, but in fact they are all derived from the only innate spiritual root among them.

This peach tree is the apple of the Queen Mother's eye. If Xiao Zhen really goes to ask for it with a flattering face, he might be able to get one or two peaches, but he will also owe her a favor.

I looked at the accounts of Xiandan Hall again. Although it had been under strict control, the people below had become much more clean-handed.

But tens of thousands of years have passed since the founding of Heaven, and the hole is really big, but fortunately, Deputy Hall Master Xiao has found a solution.

Anyway, there will always be a great sage who can take the blame in the future, so we might as well just put the blame on him.

A monkey weighing about 100 pounds broke into the Pill Hall, an important place in the Heavenly Palace, and stole hundreds of tons of pills, including some top-grade pills that even the counterfeit Golden Immortals in this world could take.

So this plan is absolutely perfect!

I just don’t know whether the Jade Emperor and Laojun will go to the West to settle accounts after the case is exposed.

After all, the Monkey King's rampage in Heaven was originally a play performed by the Heavenly Court and the monkeys, and it was mainly the bald donkeys in the West who were responsible.

Xiao Zhen would never admit it, because he had found a solution, and he himself had taken out a little bit of the elixir to help the Tianmeng in the Great Thousand World.

Even several elders like Xiao Xuan cultivated to the Holy Heavenly Supreme Realm through the use of immortal pills.

Even some big forces couldn't help but visit Xiao Zhen when they knew he could produce such a powerful elixir.

Qing Yanjing, who has become Zi Yan's best friend, was met by Xiao Zhen when he returned home last time, and the two almost had a fight.

After returning to the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Zhen used his magical powers to secretly observe the Flower-Fruit Mountain in Aolai Kingdom in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

The stone on the top of the highest mountain is still absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. It seems that it will take several hundred years for Monkey King to be born.

According to time calculations, monkeys were born between the late Warring States Period and the early Han Dynasty, so there is still some time to wait.
