I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 5: Overtime Benefits

"With the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus, I finally have a bit of self-defense!" Xia Yi exclaimed with joy.

Soon, Heavenly Prison appeared before his eyes.

The entire Heavenly Prison resembled a huge pagoda, with prison cells made of Taiyi Gold Essence and fortified with talismans. There were guards such as Gongcao, Lishi, Shenzhang, Juling, and others on all sides, layer upon layer, totaling ninety-nine and eighty-one layers.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Heavenly Prison?" A giant spirit god stepped forward, with a green face and fangs, standing three zhang tall. His muscles were like coiling dragons, as if cast from steel. He held a flower-embroidered axe with a handle as thick as a bowl, engraved with symbols.

"I am the newly appointed Sweeping Immortal Official, responsible for cleaning Heavenly Prison!" Xia Yi quickly handed over his waist token.

The giant spirit god took the waist token, examined it, and after confirming, said, "Due to the long absence of cleaning in Heavenly Prison, the impure qi is about to overflow into the Great Prison Sky. You must quickly eliminate the impure qi, otherwise it will invade other heavenly palaces, and you will bear great responsibility!"

"I understand," Xia Yi replied.

After bowing, Xia Yi entered Heavenly Prison.

"Has that fairy from Yaochi finally made a move?" Xia Yi's face turned serious. When he passed by the giant spirit god just now, his primordial spirit shivered, clearly sensing a murderous intent.

This murderous intent was not easy to detect, and it disappeared in an instant, but he could be sure that it was directed at him.

He had inherited the memories from the original owner but had never known where he had offended that lofty fairy.

"For a short period of time, that giant spirit god probably won't make a move against me!" Xia Yi speculated.

He had not yet become a god, and the Heavenly Court was filled with powerful beings.

As the favored courtier and strategist of the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing held a transcendent position in the Heavenly Court.

Although he was a demonic cultivator who had not yet achieved the Immortal Dao, he had received Taibai Jinxing's protection.

If he were to be assigned to Heavenly Prison so quickly, it might even alarm Taibai Jinxing.

"I must quickly improve my strength!" Xia Yi felt heavy in his heart. Although he was not clear about the specific strength of the giant spirit god, he could be certain that the numerous Earth Immortal elders of the Corpse Sect were no match for him!

There was a heavy chill inside Heavenly Prison, and Xia Yi felt a deep coldness that penetrated his spirit, making him shiver.

Moreover, it contained various filthy qi.

These filthy qi were composed of various elements, such as evil qi, resentment qi, demonic qi, worldly qi, and so on.

If they were inhaled into the primordial spirit, it would be difficult to eliminate them.

If this continued, he would inevitably go astray, and even his primordial spirit would collapse, forcing him to be reincarnated.

"Regardless, let's start working!" Xia Yi first took out the gourd of desires, pinched a suction technique, and sucked in the hazy mist around him.

Suddenly, countless thin threads of evil qi rushed in from all directions, entering the mouth of the gourd like a whale sucking water.

Then, he continuously changed hand seals, operated his mana, and compressed the impure qi sucked into the gourd.

As more and more impure qi was absorbed, the gourd became heavier and heavier, eventually reaching tens of kilograms from its initial weight of just a few liang.

This gourd of desires was just an ordinary Law Weapon, not an Immortal Weapon. After it was filled, he would need to replace it with another gourd.

As for the long banner, it could release palm-sized yellow clouds to protect his body, preventing impure qi from entering. It was considered a good defensive Law Weapon.

The first floor of Heavenly Prison was very large, with a radius of about a hundred thousand li, and it contained countless prison cells.

The first thirty-six floors mostly held demons and monsters captured from the mortal realm, awaiting the judgment of the Heavenly Emperor.

At that time, Xia Yi and the others from the Corpse Sect were imprisoned on the sixth floor of Heavenly Prison.

The next forty-five floors held some powerful Demon Dao figures and supreme great monsters.

And the further down, the higher the level of the demonic cultivators imprisoned.

It was rumored that the bottom nine floors even held ancient monstrous beings from the Primordial Era. Releasing any one of them would cause chaos in the Three Realms.

During the cleaning process, Xia Yi often saw Heavenly Soldiers escorting demons and monsters into the prison cells.

"It seems that this time, True Martial's divine response has blessed True Monarch's demon-slaying operation, and it has made quite a stir, even annihilating the Netherworld Demon Sect and the Jiuyou Sect!" Xia Yi secretly felt shocked.

The Netherworld Demon Sect and the Jiuyou Sect were both long-established demonic sects, with intricate connections to the Blood Sea. They were even stronger than the Corpse Sect by a few points.

However, these things have nothing to do with Xia Yi. Anyway, he has already been "recruited".

Soon, it was noon.

At the stage of Soul Refining and returning to emptiness, it is easy to achieve fasting.

Xia Yi is ready to continue working, striving to clean up all the impurities in the first layer today.

[Detected that it is lunchtime, the system provides a free lunch. Does the host choose to eat?]

"Oh, they even provide lunch?"

Xia Yi was happy and found a secluded place to have his meal.

"Today's lunch: Dragon Tooth Rice, Vermilion Pearl Grass Salad, Purple Jade Lingzhi Soup, Flood Dragon Meat Stewed with Huang Jing, Xianjiu Pear Blossom Spring."

Suddenly, a flash of light.

A plate appeared in front of Xia Yi, with various dishes placed on it.

Xia Yi picked up the jade chopsticks and saw that the dragon teeth were evenly distributed, the size of a fingernail, like the teeth of a dragon, with a thick gelatinous texture, a clean and translucent color, and a delicious and sweet taste.

The Vermilion Pearl Grass was like jade, flowing with dazzling light.

Xia Yi picked up a strand of the jade grass and put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, a strong and extremely pure spiritual energy burst forth.

This spiritual energy had a very high quality, as if it was not acquired spiritual energy, but the legendary Innate spiritual energy.

Even his Primordial Spirit seemed to be cleansed at this moment.

"This Vermilion Pearl Grass is actually an Innate spiritual plant!"

Xia Yi was shocked.

Since the battle between the Witch and the Demon shattered the Primordial Chaos, the Innate spiritual energy has gradually transformed into acquired spiritual energy, making it increasingly difficult for living beings to cultivate.

There are only a few Grotto-Heavens that still have Innate Spirit Veins, such as Wuzhuang Temple, Western Pure Land, Penglai, and so on.

The Heavenly Court naturally also has Innate Spirit Veins, such as the Peach Blossom Garden, Yaochi, Lingxiao Palace, and Tushita Heaven.

However, these places are inaccessible to ordinary immortals and gods.

The Flood Dragon meat was tender, the soup was sour and delicious, slightly spicy but not greasy.

The Purple Jade Lingzhi Soup also tasted good, and Xia Yi's appetite was greatly opened, enjoying the meal.

Soon, all the dishes on the plate were swept away.

Only a cup of Xianjiu remained.

The liquid in the cup was crystal clear, like beautiful jade, resembling amber, with divine radiance swirling on it, shimmering with colorful light. The aroma of the wine was intoxicating.

Xia Yi picked up the wine cup and took a sip. A strong aroma of wine surged through his body, even his Primordial Spirit felt a bit dizzy, as if he was floating in the clouds.

"This is what real work feels like..."

After finishing the meal, Xia Yi continued to work.

In a short time, several gourds were filled with the impure and evil aura from the Heavenly Prison, becoming heavy.

This impure and evil aura was one of the most filthy things in the Three Realms. It was useless for cultivators of the Profound Gate, but it was a rare material for refining artifacts for practitioners of the Demon Gate.

Xia Yi's Profound Yin Soul Gathering Banner was mostly destroyed, and this impure and evil aura could be used to recast the banner pole, adding a bit of sinister power.

In the evening, the system came out to remind again:

[You have worked for eight hours today. The system suggests that you leave on time.]

"Can I work overtime?" Xia Yi asked.

The cleaning officials come to sign in at Heavenly Prison during the Mao hour and leave during the Wei hour. The working hours are about ten hours, and there are three days of rest each month.

[The system allows overtime. One hour of overtime will provide a teleportation talisman.]

[Two hours of overtime will provide a free dinner.]

[Four hours of overtime will provide a special medicine bath for Flesh Refining.]

[Note: Overtime pay is twice the normal wage during normal hours, and three times the normal wage on weekends.]

"As long as the overtime pay is enough, I don't mind working like a horse!"

Xia Yi was full of enthusiasm.
