Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 482 Feed them all well!
Jiangdong, Daoting Tianwu City.

Lu Yang had already walked out of the Tianwu Palace, holding an imperial edict in his hand, appointing him to establish the [Imperial City Bureau] using incense and divine methods.

"It's done. Good fortune is in our hands."

Lu Yang looked up at the sky. His clone had successfully captured the good fortune, stored it in the Myriad Spirits Banner, and then sent it to his main body through the [Heavenly General Control of All Phenomena].

'That went so smoothly!'

Lu Yang sighed inwardly. His life had been incredibly smooth so far, but he wasn't worried. Holding the false position of Jin was his greatest source of confidence.

'In fact, it's no surprise that things are going so smoothly for me. After all, in this life, I no longer have the celestial identity that would have drawn the wrath of Heaven. As a powerful being who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, capable of assuming the Golden Throne at any time, and having gathered so much intelligence, I've had the advantage of a well-intentioned but unprepared attack. If things still weren't going well, then there would truly be no justice in the world!'

Lü Yang quickly collected his thoughts.

With the imperial edict in place, recruiting manpower became a simple matter. Emperor Jiayou imposed no restrictions on this, and Lü Yang was happy to make a big show of it.

A month later.

At Lü Yang's call, the entire True Dragon branch that had been sent to Jiangdong by the Dragon Lord, along with many demon cultivators gathered in the [One Heart Society], all arrived.

Lu Yang received everyone in the newly built Imperial City Guard office.

Besides the demon cultivators of the Yixin Society, there were also many human cultivators, all of whom were selected by Lü Yang from the lower levels of various government departments and transferred to the Imperial City Bureau.

However, when these human cultivators and demon cultivators stood together, Lü Yang immediately sensed the deep divide between them. The human cultivators looked down on the demon cultivators, and although the demon cultivators harbored resentment, they also looked down on him. As a result, the two sides spontaneously banded together, forming two distinct factions within the entire government office.

Lu Yang frowned upon seeing this.

To be honest, he is a person who advocates equality and treats everyone equally. He doesn't care whether someone is a human or a demon; what matters is whether they can be used by him.

Those who can be used by him are his own people.

If someone cannot be used by him, then he is an enemy.

Stepping into the forefront.

Lu Yang cleared his throat and then said calmly, "Fellow Daoists, we have gathered here today to serve His Majesty and contribute to the Dao Court."

"First, let us pay our respects to His Majesty."

As soon as Lü Yang finished speaking, he led the way and bowed in the direction of the palace.

"Your Majesty."

The officials below followed suit, and thunderous applause erupted, with shouts of "Long live the Emperor!" echoing throughout half of Tianwu City.

However, most of the effort was put in by the demon cultivators. After all, as a member of the True Dragon Clan, Lü Yang was a leading figure among the demon cultivators of the Dao Court. All the demon cultivators hoped that he could improve their status in the Dao Court, so they naturally supported him. In comparison, the human cultivators seemed to be very perfunctory.

Seeing this, Lü Yang was not in a hurry, and chuckled lightly, saying:

"I won't waste any more time on small talk. Let's start by talking about what everyone values ​​most: the treatment of the [Imperial City Guard] and everyone's salary and stipend."

Upon hearing this, the gazes of everyone below immediately sharpened.

If you bring that up, we won't be sleepy anymore.

The next second, Lu Yang calmly said, "Currently, the salaries of Dao Court officials are paid once every hundred years, and they can choose one of three things: cultivation method, spiritual materials, or comprehension."

“Our [Imperial City Guard] has the same officials as the Daoist officials.”

As soon as Lü Yang finished speaking, the people present were not surprised, as it seemed to mean that their salaries would remain unchanged. However, they then heard Lü Yang say:
It is issued once a year.

"."

In an instant, all was silent.

Whether they were demon cultivators or human cultivators, they all wore the same expression: disbelief, incredulity, and doubt that they had misheard.

The Daoist court distributes its stipends only once every hundred years, but you receive them annually. ??

Do you have that money?

The answer is: Yes, there really is.

After all, the Old Dragon Lord had just sponsored Lü Yang with a sum of money, which the Old Dragon Lord had instructed Lü Yang to use for bribery. It would be more than enough to pay his salary. Of course, these were just spiritual materials.

As for Taoist techniques, Lü Yang has settled accounts with so many people so far, and the amount of supernatural powers and techniques he has collected can only be described as massive, so it is certainly enough.

The only problem is the comprehension enhanced by the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], which Lü Yang cannot solve. However, these are all Dao Court officials, and they will join the [Imperial City Division] in the future and will have to switch to the path of incense and deities. Their rank and realm will all depend on the blessing of incense. What need do they have for comprehension?
The next second, Lü Yang waved his hand.

The spiritual materials from the True Dragon Clan instantly filled the entire government office, and the overwhelming spiritual energy formed a visible tide that engulfed everyone.

Everyone is stupid!
Are you really giving it to me?
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Lü Yang said calmly, "You are all loyal subjects of my Dao Court."

"This portion of spiritual materials is your salary for this year. It's also a small token of my appreciation. This year's salaries are being distributed to everyone in advance."

Just then, a cultivator cautiously raised his hand:
"My lord, can I forgo the spiritual materials and choose the Daoist method instead?"

"of course can."

Lu Yang smiled slightly: "However, I've already taken out all these spiritual materials, and I'm too lazy to take them back. Anyone who wants the Dao techniques can contact me later, and I'll compensate you."

In an instant, the crowd was invigorated.

The spiritual materials were distributed in full, and the Taoist methods were even given additional subsidies?

What's the difference between this and double pay?
Keep in mind that they haven't even officially started working yet. This is only their first day in the Imperial City Guard, and they've already received the salary that the Dao Court would normally receive for two hundred years!

At that moment, everyone's gaze towards Lü Yang changed.

Seeing the atmosphere below the stage gradually heating up, Lü Yang decisively added fuel to the fire: "In addition, considering the arduous and important task of the [Imperial City Division]..."

"So after each mission, there will be an extra allowance as a reward for everyone's hard work. The better the mission is completed, the more allowance you will receive."

Lü Yang's attitude towards the Imperial City Guard can be summed up in one sentence:

Not only will I let you drink soup, but I'll also let you eat meat. I'm not afraid you'll be greedy. If you're greedy, I'll feed you until you're full, until your cheeks are stuffed!
"Boom!"

At this moment, without Lü Yang even needing to speak, all the cultivators of the Imperial City Guard spontaneously stood up and respectfully bowed to Lü Yang.

The most excited of them all was Xiao Shan, the demon cultivator who had been the first to pledge allegiance to Lü Yang.

He stood up, intending to pledge his loyalty to Lü Yang, but upon seeing Lü Yang on the stage and their eyes meeting, a sudden inspiration struck him:

"To be loyal to His Majesty and to do one's best for the Dao Court."

After speaking, he was the first to turn around and salute the Tianwu Palace:
"loyalty!"

With someone taking the lead, Lü Yang did not stop them, and everyone present immediately followed suit, stepping forward one by one to receive their salaries. After receiving their salaries, they saluted the Tianwu Hall.

Emperor Jiayou, who had been secretly observing, was finally satisfied.

"Boom!"

The next second, a massive incense offering surged forth, instantly blessing all the cultivators of the Imperial City Guard and elevating their ranks.

This is the greatest blessing!

Emperor Jiayou was watching from beginning to end, but he didn't take it to heart. Why? Because he believed that he held the most important interests in his own hands.

That is cultivation level.

As long as the incense god's cultivation foundation is in his hands, no matter how much favor Lü Yang bestows, it will be done on his behalf and will be meaningless. Emperor Jiayou will only be happy to see it happen.

Lü Yang was well aware of Emperor Jiayou's thoughts, so he could only sneer inwardly.

Although Emperor Jiayou used him as a tool, little did he know that he actually viewed Emperor Jiayou in the same way.

'The complete Seven Luminaries are in my hands. Even if I create more gods and spirits now, who they'll ultimately listen to is another matter entirely!'
