Chapter 40 Trouble is coming
The next morning.
The divine official Wuyun brought a group of heavenly soldiers to the heavenly prison.
The matter of the Heavenly Prison was ordered by the Jade Emperor himself, and Yang Jian was watching there.
They dare not slack off in the slightest.
The selected heavenly soldiers are all the elite among the heavenly soldiers. Although their strength is not as good as that of the grass-roots gods, they can also obey orders. Their spirit and energy are completely different from those of the original heavenly soldiers in the heavenly prison.
Li Anran was very satisfied with this.
The various rules and regulations of Tianlao are already very complete. As long as they are strictly enforced, most problems can be eliminated.
He also had the Book of Punishment, with which he could browse the life stories of prisoners, so he didn't have to worry about any monsters sneaking into the prison.
What’s more, Yang Jian is a strong backer who can be asked for help at any time.
It is enough for these heavenly soldiers to be obedient and not make mistakes.
Li Anran knew that he was not a management genius, and he did not do anything weird. After handing over the work to the Divine Official of Martial Fortune, he only emphasized one point repeatedly.
"Everyone in the prison, including me, must abide by the prison's rules and regulations. Violators will be severely punished."
Afterwards, Li Anran asked Caotoushen to take some heavenly soldiers to work in the heavenly prison.
When this news spread outside, it immediately caused another wave of heated discussion.
"A mediocre and incompetent person like Li Anran, relying on Yang Jian, was able to rise to the top and become the warden of the Heavenly Prison! He is truly a shame to our Heavenly Court!"
"If the God of Justice appoints such a person as the prison warden, there will be problems in the prison sooner or later!"
"Damn it! If only I had gone to the prison at that time! Then there would be no chance for Li Anran!"
…
Li Anran's reputation was already about to hit rock bottom and it got even worse.
Everyone was waiting to see him and to see Yang Jian make a fool of himself.
However, one day passed, two days passed, three days passed...
A month has passed!
Not only did no chaos occur in the Heavenly Prison, but it became increasingly orderly, gradually taking on the solemn and murderous aura of a sacred place in heaven.
From the gate of the Heavenly Prison to the various checkpoints inside and all the way to the core area of the prison, heavenly soldiers were arranged to guard it according to the heavenly rules and take turns on standby 24 hours a day.
The heavenly soldiers' perception of Li Anran was also changing unconsciously.
At the beginning, they also believed the rumors and thought that Li Anran was a deceitful and treacherous villain.
But soon, they found that this was not the case at all!
Li Anran has a mild temper and is easy to approach . He is polite even to ordinary soldiers and never scolds or beats them.
Although there are almost harsh and strict requirements when it comes to complying with the rules of heaven.
However, he also set an example by never seeking any special treatment.
When it comes to his job, he is more diligent, conscientious and hardworking than anyone else in the prison.
The heavenly soldiers worked in three shifts, but he stayed in the heavenly prison twelve hours a day and could be found at any time.
In order to avoid mistakes, whenever a prisoner was sent to the Tianlao, he would personally escort him and never use anyone else to do it.
In this way, the slight complaints of the heavenly soldiers disappeared, and were replaced by recognition and awe.
During this month, Yang Jian was very busy.
Just for the matter of using monsters to make elixirs, he captured nearly a hundred gods, which directly made the Heavenly Prison lively .
Among them are not only the low-level immortal officials who have just ascended to the immortal class, but also the immortal officials and gods who are responsible for guarding the palace.
Some of them were involved in this matter unintentionally.
Some were deeply involved. Not only did they take the pills made by monsters themselves, they also gave the pills to their fellow Taoists, thus involving more immortals.
Yang Jian followed the Jade Emperor's order that "all those involved will be severely punished and no leniency will be shown", and he followed the clues and put them all in the Heavenly Prison.
Just wait until the case is concluded, then report it to the Jade Emperor and deal with it according to the rules of heaven.
The lowest level of cultivation among these gods is the True Immortal realm, while the highest has reached the sixth level of Heavenly Immortal.
Even with only a 5% participation rate in arrests, Li Anran gained nearly 400,000 experience points every day.
In this way, Li Anran's available experience points accumulated to a terrifying 33.67 million.
Each level of cultivation in the True Immortal Realm requires 10 million experience points.
Li Anran directly spent 20 million to improve his cultivation to the second level of True Immortal, leaving a chance to break through and restore to full condition just in case.
And this is only a small part of what Li Anran gained!
His greatest gain was the knowledge and inheritance from the lives of these gods!
Compared to those monsters who rely entirely on blood inheritance to cultivate, most of these gods are disciples of Xuanmen. They have a complete inheritance and they cultivate step by step to become gods under the guidance of their teachers.
Taoist scriptures, techniques, magic, refining equipment, alchemy, formations, talismans, divination...
These vast amounts of knowledge inheritance covering all aspects are truly priceless treasures, completely making up for his shortcomings as a casual cultivator with weak foundation.
However, because the knowledge was too much and too diverse , Li Anran felt dazzled and overwhelmed.
After much consideration, Li Anran decided to learn the formation first.
Although alchemy and refining are very attractive, he is in the Heavenly Prison and has no way to put them into practice. If he only talks about it on paper, the progress will definitely be very slow.
In comparison, the restrictions of the formation are much smaller.
In addition to this knowledge, Li Anran also saw a lot of content about refining monsters into elixirs from the life stories of these gods.
He discovered that most of these immortals had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, and by "chance" had obtained the method of refining elixirs or elixirs made from the blood of monsters.
Some were obtained through the filial piety of disciples, some were obtained by accidentally breaking into the caves of ancient Qi-refining masters, some were taught and given by good friends, and so on.
Looking at just one example, it doesn't seem like a big deal.
But, putting them together, you can see that the timing was really good!
It doesn't seem like a coincidence at all, it seems more like a long-planned conspiracy!
The effect of the blood-refined elixir is extremely good, and it can even be said to be somewhat against the will of heaven. It can not only improve cultivation, but also increase lifespan, improve aptitude, etc.
More importantly , its grade will increase as the qualifications and cultivation level of the monster used improves.
This led to the situation where the gods, knowing full well that using living creatures to refine elixirs would cause their souls to scatter, which was against heaven and against the laws of nature, still tried to catch monsters and refine elixirs time and again in the hope of getting away with it.
This also makes their sin value generally above two stars.
Li Anran was also curious about the effect of the elixir, so he went into the cell and carefully observed the immortals who had taken the blood-refined elixir.
On the surface, they are no different from normal gods, with immortal demeanor and extraordinary bearing.
But when their emotions fluctuated greatly, Li Anran could sense the uncontrollable violent and greedy emotions hidden deep in their hearts.
This is obviously the side effect of refining the demon into elixir!
It seems that the impact is not significant now, but when they have taken enough pills, they will no longer be able to control the violence and greed in their hearts and will go astray.
Li Anran saw all of this, but kept it in his heart, pretending he didn't know. He stayed obediently in the sky prison and studied the formation.
…
One day, Li Anran was practicing in the prison when he heard someone report: "Master, Huashan Three Holy Mothers and Fairy Baihua have arrived at the prison gate and want to visit Fairy Lingnan."
Trouble is coming!
Li Anran frowned slightly, stood up and walked to the entrance of the prison.
I saw two women standing side by side.
The one on the left looked to be in her twenties, wearing a pleated Ruyi moon skirt, standing tall and graceful, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a face like a lotus, and was looking at the sky prison curiously.
The one on the right looks more mature, about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a long dress with floral patterns, with graceful posture and beautiful appearance.
As soon as she saw Li Anran coming out, the girl on the left's eyes lit up, and she pulled the girl on the right to greet him: "Sister Baihua, he's here! Let's go over there quickly!"
