There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 263 Officially taking over the Daozang Hall on Nanlin Road
  Wang Ping flew upwards with Zi Luan, while Yu Lian wrapped around Wang Ping's arm.

As he approached the sky at the top of the attic, the scene in Wang Ping's sight changed drastically. The roof, which was originally composed of hundreds of giant trees, now appeared to him to be a platform connected by nine iron chains. On the platform Just now is the roof composed of hundreds of giant trees.

In the center of the platform, a huge log surrounded by four people goes straight to the center of the roof, and is combined with the roof ridge at the top of the attic outside.

There are talismans on the surface of this giant wood that Wang Ping cannot understand. If he looks at it vaguely, he can clearly perceive the lines of the talismans on it, but if he looks closely, it is extremely blurry.

"It's not blurry, it's just that you can't remember it." Yu Lian's consciousness emerged in the spiritual sea.

"Don't block the world of inspiration when observing here." Zi Luan reminded.

Wang Ping glanced at Zi Luan and completely let go of his spiritual perception. Suddenly, the world of inspiration appeared in front of his eyes. He sensed that with this giant tree as the center, there were countless dense spiritual energy lines extending outward, and there were also There was a barrel-thick spiritual light beam leading to space beyond the clouds.

These psychic lines are very weak, and they seem to be connected to something.

Wang Ping extended his Yuan Shen consciousness to further areas, and soon discovered that the top of the post station in Daozang Hall in the surrounding county was connected to the top of the post station by the same facility emitting thin psychic lines.

Zi Luan said at this time: "This set of magic weapons, including the fixed magic weapons of each county, are all refined by the prince himself. It communicates spiritual energy with the fixed magic circle, and can achieve things thousands of miles away." Through communication, Fujun can even transmit his own consciousness and soul to any area it is connected to."

As he spoke, he took out a token engraved with the word '小山' from his storage bag and introduced it to Wang Ping: "The magic circle inside it allows you to connect to the nearby communication magic circle as quickly as possible. , however, we can only use fixed communication directions, such as reporting news to Fujun, or delivering news to the headquarters of Daozang Hall."

"Or if you want to contact the third seat of other Daozang Halls, you can send a message to the headquarters through it first, and then the headquarters will help convey it. However, if you want to convey secret messages, it is best not to do this, otherwise the whole Daozang Hall will be destroyed the next day. They all might know."

After listening to the introduction, Wang Ping couldn't help but think of the pager in his previous life, which would eventually become a mobile phone. Unfortunately, the master who mastered it seemed to have no intention of continuing to study it, and Wang Ping couldn't observe it, so the light curtain panel couldn't record it.

Zi Luan was very satisfied with Wang Ping's reaction. After introducing the function of this thing, he warned: "Remember, it is only used to convey urgent official business. Never use it to convey secret messages. The world of inspiration is bigger than you and I imagine. They are all complicated, and some true spirits are very terrifying."

"it is good!"

Wang Ping took the token, and Yu Lian immediately said, "Give it a try!"

"You have to refine it first so that it can resonate with your soul, and then just input a little spiritual power."

Zi Luan looked at Wang Ping's eagerness to try and reminded: "This election for the third seat will be held on the third day of September. There will be a dedicated line connection at that time, and you can sense it by inputting your spiritual power."

...

After handing over the most important things, what was left were some tedious chores. First, some cases that were being investigated, which Zi Luan took the trouble to introduce to Wang Ping, and then the financial situation of Daozang Palace.

The Daozang Hall in Jinhuai Prefecture is relatively wealthy. Every year, there are donations from wealthy households in various prefectures and counties, and some commissions can be drawn from the transactions of magical weapons, elixirs, and treasures. However, the expenses are also quite large. First of all, they have to station in various regions. funds, then funds for various departments, and finally pensions for some unexpected tasks.

The majority of the funds are spent by various departments. There are seven departments in Daozang Hall, namely serious cases, investigation, operations, supervision, patrol, guard and inspection.

"We can collect [-] million taels in cash every year. The expenses of various departments and the county government are nearly [-] million taels. Some material purchases require about [-] taels, and the maintenance cost of the facilities is [-] taels."

In the main room of the small courtyard of the Comfort Envoy, Wang Ping was sitting on the left side of the Eight Immortals Table, holding a two-finger-thick account book in his hand and flipping through it. The Taishi chairs and coffee tables placed on both sides below were all replaced by large wooden tables. All around were accountants, who were checking previous accounts.

Some of these accounting gentlemen were transferred from the Wang family, and some were transferred from Qian Muguan. The leader was the boss of Zuo Xuan's store, a middle-aged man with great energy.

It was this middle-aged man who spoke just now. After he finished his report, he bowed and waited for dispatch.

After listening to the report, Wang Ping glanced at Zuo Xuan, who was on the right side of the Eight Immortals table. She was also flipping through a ledger. As for Zi Luan, he had returned to the Six Heart Sect.

"Every year we have to hand over one million taels to the headquarters." Zuo Xuan added: "This year's money has already been paid. We don't need to pay this part of the money. Every year, it is customary to ask wealthy households from all over the country to donate. In the second half of each year, You have to have someone push it, otherwise they might pretend they don’t know.”

This is a disguised form of tax collection. Fortunately, it only collects taxes from the rich, but there is a saying that the wool comes from the sheep.

Wang Ping originally didn't want to do anything more, because he was just a passer-by here, but then he thought about it, he, a passer-by, had to stay here for hundreds of years, and then said: "From now on, all allocations for various departments in various places will be made by I will conduct unified review here and set up a secretariat in the adjacent wing to be responsible for this matter."

He put down the account book in his hand and said with a smile: "We don't just accept donations from wealthy households, we also send people to check. The supervision and inspection departments spend hundreds of thousands every year. We can't just lie down and drink. Tea."

"I will arrange."

Zuo Xuan nodded, then smiled: "If you do this, the people may not think well of you."

Wang Ping heard this and waved the shopkeeper to go about his business, then looked at Zuo Xuan and responded: "Do you think I will care?"

"I'm talking too much."

"There are more than one million taels left every year, how should we spend it?" Yu Lian, who was lying on Wang Ping's shoulder, asked.

"Some sudden cases, or some targets that require long-term investigation and tracking, require this part of the money to allocate." Zuo Xuan looked at Yulian and explained.

"Then you allocate some money to Xiao Qianqian. You asked her to investigate the matter, and she hasn't given her even a tael of silver in decades." Yu Lian complained about Wang Ping.

"Isn't there an industry in Baishui Lake? There are also taxes in the nearby towns, and there are filial piety money in each county."     "You should look at the account books of Baishui Lake Dojo. The official roads of Wudaofu have been rebuilt in recent years, as well as some of your temples. The creation of a golden body, the maintenance of various dojos, the training of militiamen, etc. all cost money."

"... "

"Then let's allocate some money." Wang Ping looked at Zuo Xuan.

"Okay!" When Zuo Xuan agreed, Liu Shuang led He Jiu in, followed by Li Lin who was flattening the cave door.

"Master, the matter is done." Liu Shuang spoke first, and the two people behind him hurriedly greeted him.

What Liu Shuang was talking about was He Jiu's transfer to Nanlin Road. There was no particular difficulty for He Jiu on Mozhou Road. He Jiu seemed to be very resentful about this. Perhaps in his eyes, he was talented because of his ability. He was targeted, but in fact no one thought highly of him at all.

"You should go back to Guanli first and stabilize your condition. In the past two years, I can get the secret method from the second volume of "The Art of Gathering Wood"."

Wang Ping told Liu Shuang that according to the rules of Daozang Palace, when he was successfully elected as the third seat, he would need to go to the Daozang Palace headquarters in Shangjing to register his information. He planned to resolve Li Yan's matter smoothly.

"Yes, Master!" Liu Shuang was overjoyed when he heard this.

Wang Ping shifted his gaze to He Jiu and ordered: "From now on, you will work under Fellow Daoist Zuo. If you have anything, you can report it to her first. If there is an emergency, you can contact me first."

He said and handed a puppet bird to He Jiu.

"Yes!" He Jiu said respectfully.

Wang Ping was actually not used to such a scene. The sound of the accountant's abacus made him a little irritated, and he turned his attention to Li Lin again.

"I've met Master Changqing!"

"What's the matter with you?" Wang Ping asked patiently.

"Reporting to Uncle Master, Junior Brother Wenhai used his contribution points in Daozang Hall to exchange for the guardianship and guidance when he was promoted. We have prepared all the materials and silver..."

Li Lin's voice was very low, and his expression was full of caution, not at all as cool as when Wang Ping saw him for the first time.

"You can just hand in the note normally!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Li Lin was very happy.

Wang Ping stared at him and said, "Wen Hai's work will be left to you for the time being. If you do a better job, you may be rewarded."

"Yes!"

Li Lin did not refuse. He knew that this was an opportunity given to him by Wang Ping. He had this opportunity because he was a member of the Sanhe Mansion Party, but this was a secret and could not be revealed.

...

half a month later.

After the secretariat established by Wang Ping was running perfectly, he arranged for Zuo Xuan to take charge of the Daozang Hall, while he returned to the Qianmuguan Dojo in a low-key manner.

Although there is a dedicated dojo for him on the top floor of the main building of Daozang Hall, he is still used to his own dojo.

After being promoted, he only had half a month to feel the soul, and most of that half month was spent receiving relatives and friends from various places.

Now, he finally had time to carefully feel the changes in the third realm.

The first is the control of the wood spirit energy. Now he no longer needs the spirit gathering array, because one of his ideas can replace the effectiveness of the spirit gathering array, and it can activate an area of ​​dozens of kilometers in an instant.

The second is the control of ‘sword talisman’ and ‘soldier talisman’.

The number of 'sword talismans' controlled at the same time was close to ninety-nine, but he still needed to continue to deduce the 'killing formation' to achieve maximum effectiveness.

The 'Soldier Talisman' is the next focus of Wang Ping's research, because he now has the 'Tongtian Talisman', which can give the golden-armored soldier more consciousness and even allow it to practice independently.

It's a pity that there is no secret method to read in this regard. In the words of Taoist Ziluan: Puppet is the most important secret of every Taiyan monk, and no one will write this secret into a book.

Finally, there are the newly obtained ‘Wantong Talisman’ and ‘Transfer Talisman’.
