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

Chapter 8: Inspector

"Thank you for the reminder, bro!"

Xia Yi said this, but he didn't take it to heart.

Just guarding the Heavenly Prison's Giant Spirit God was already overwhelming for him, not to mention the attendant fairy in Yaochi.

The most important thing now was to improve his own strength, and the Demon Cult emphasized quick progress, which suited his current situation.

There were dozens of immortal officials responsible for cleaning the Demon-Slaying Platform. Some were in charge of moving corpses, while others were in charge of extracting blood. The division of labor was clear.

Xia Yi skillfully cast a net, but when he pulled it up, he found it to be as heavy as a mountain. It turned out to be a zombie the size of a zhang, covered in red hair, with nails like iron hooks. When it opened its mouth, it was the size of a winnowing basket and emitted a sinister black light.

"This is the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse!"

Xia Yi's mind shook. This zombie was the leader of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the original owner's master.

The trigger for the Heavenly Court's descent to the mortal realm to eliminate demons was the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse using supreme magic to destroy the Qixia Sect. Afterwards, its founder entered the Heavenly Court to file a complaint, which ultimately angered the Emperor of Heaven, leading to the eradication of the demonic energy in the Southern Zhanbu Continent and the revival of the Fugu Sect.

Xia Yi released his divine sense and quickly discovered a space in the corpse's acupoint.

There were many treasures inside.

There were hundreds of sheep-fat jade bottles of various sizes, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

There were also several one-foot-sized glass bottles, adorned with many dark talismans. Inside were some strange-shaped insects, densely attached to the inner walls of the bottles, giving people goosebumps.

In addition, there were thirty-six palm-sized yellow linen flags, covered in bloodstains and depicting small demons. Upon closer inspection, they were green-faced and fang-toothed, tall and covered in white hair, vividly depicting zombie-like creatures.

"According to the original owner's memory, the Old Demon has always wanted to refine the second set of Heavenly Corpse Gathering Demon Flags and have a decisive battle with the owner of the Seven Kills Demon Palace. I didn't expect that it has actually successfully refined the primordial form." Xia Yi was overjoyed.

This primordial form was extremely difficult to refine. Just the surface of the flag required the tempering of extremely poisonous Yin fire and corpse impurities for over a hundred years, which was very cumbersome.

After successful refinement, thirty-six powerful Earth Immortals had to be found to be refined into supreme Heavenly Corpses using extremely poisonous magic.

Once successful, the Heavenly Corpse Great Formation could be set up, making it difficult for even Immortal Gods to escape.

"The Demon-Slaying Platform is not lacking in the corpses of Monster Immortal demons. If I can find thirty-six of them and refine them into zombies, perhaps I can resist the Giant Spirit God!" Xia Yi felt a glimmer of hope.

Other Sweeping Immortal Officials were not interested in the Law Weapons of the Demon Sect. After all, this was the territory of the Heavenly Court, and even if they obtained them, they would have no place to use them.

If they were discovered and reported, they would face great punishment.

This was a windfall for Xia Yi, who obtained many demonic treasures.

After ten consecutive days, the numerous Sweeping Immortal Officials finally cleaned up the sea of corpses on the Demon-Slaying Platform.

"According to the rules, all the Law Treasures left behind on the Demon-Slaying Platform must be handed over."

An immortal official held up a mirror and said loudly, "This is the Tai Xu Mirror, which can detect the mustard space inside an immortal's body. If anyone is found to be secretly withholding treasures, they will face severe punishment."

"We still need to be inspected?" Xia Yi frowned.

"Brother Xia just arrived and may not be clear. According to convention, the treasures on the Immortal Platform should be handed over to the Heavenly Court. However, we Sweeping Immortal Officials can choose to retain some treasures, but in return, we need to bribe the immortal officials. Usually, a stone of immortal rice or a pot of immortal wine is enough."

Qingyangzi reminded him from the side. He was an old hand in the Heavenly Court and knew all kinds of hidden rules.

After speaking, he walked forward and first handed over the bronze coffin filled with corpses, then waved his hand, and a pile of blood-stained Law Treasures appeared on the ground.

Then the immortal official walked up to Qingyangzi, took out the Tai Xu Mirror, and wanted to inspect his mustard space.

At this moment, Qingyangzi extended his right hand without any trace of smoke or fire, and handed over a gourd filled with wine.

The immortal official opened the mouth of the gourd, sniffed it, and showed a satisfied expression. Then he took out the Tai Xu Mirror, casually scanned Qingyangzi, and put it back.

The following Sweeping Immortal Officials obviously knew about this rule as well. Some gave immortal rice, while others gave immortal wine.

After receiving the bribes, the immortal officials did not make things difficult for them and let them leave.

Finally, it was Xia Yi's turn.

He stepped forward and handed over the bronze coffin and the remaining Law Treasure weapons, just like the other Sweeping Immortal Officials, and also presented a pot of immortal wine.

The immortal wine was included in the lunch given by the system, Xia Yi didn't drink it every day, but collected it.

Little did he know that the Immortal Official did not accept it, but his face changed and he said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to bribe me?"

After speaking, he called several Heavenly Soldiers, who arrested Xia Yi and said, "According to the laws of the Heavenly Court, anyone who privately possesses a treasure will be imprisoned for thirty years and have their cultivation abolished; anyone who privately possesses two treasures will be sent to the cycle of reincarnation; anyone who privately possesses three treasures will be punished accordingly!"

He took out the Tai Xu Mirror and aimed it at Xia Yi, saying, "As an inspector of the Demon-Slaying Platform, if I find anyone privately possessing treasures, I will punish them severely as a warning to others!"

Then, a yellow light shot out, and a hazy space appeared on the mirror, with several gourds and a long flag, and nothing else.

The Immortal Official's face darkened and he said, "Bring out the gourds and the flag, I want to inspect them carefully!"

"Immortal, these are the standard Law Weapons of the Clear Sky Bureau, the Gathering Evil Gourd and the Yellow Cloud Flag. The subordinates have always been diligent and have never violated the heavenly rules," Xia Yi said respectfully.

"Bring them here!" the inspector said coldly.

Xia Yi had no choice but to hand over the gourds and the flag.

The inspector opened one of the gourds, and a burst of evil energy rose into the sky, causing the temperature around to drop.

"Cough... cough..."

The inspector accidentally inhaled a lot of evil energy, causing his blood and qi to churn, and he coughed incessantly.

But he still opened all the gourds and inspected the Yellow Cloud Flag.

But he still didn't find any problems.

"Not bad, you did well!" the inspector said with a cold expression.

Xia Yi sneered inwardly. If he hadn't been careful, he might have really fallen for it.

It could only be said that the old goat named Qingyangzi was a bit too good at acting.

All along, it was he who deliberately reminded himself to pick up the Law Treasure weapons dropped in the Blood Sea.

At first, he didn't suspect anything.

But when Qingyangzi gave him that magic sword, he left a little doubt.

You see, that magic sword was made of Mo Yin Ming Iron, and it could easily kill immortals!

Although the Heavenly Court's demon-slaying operation seemed grand, they only captured a few Myriad Monsters demons, and very few of them had survived three Heavenly Tribulations.

So among the numerous Law Treasure weapons, that magic sword was definitely of Supreme Grade.

For Qingyangzi to casually give such a precious treasure to a colleague he had just met, how broad-minded he must be?

As for his claim that it didn't match his own aura, it was even more nonsense.

This wasn't some demonic Law Weapon like the Yanmo Banner or the Xuan Yin Gathering Soul Banner. As long as it was re-forged and infused with profound restrictions, it could immediately transform from a demonic sword into an immortal sword!

Qingyangzi was born in the Heavenly Court, had survived two Heavenly Tribulations, and was not like those wild demons in the mortal realm who had no inheritance and only practiced diligently. How could he not understand such common knowledge?

Moreover, he also gave away many other remaining immortal weapons afterwards, claiming to be generous to a fault.

So when the inspector wanted to inspect their mustard seed space, he communicated with the system in his mind, wanting to temporarily store the acquired treasures and corpses in the system.

Originally, the system refused.

But Xia Yi said, "A good company should have a storage room for employees to store personal belongings."

The system was silent for a moment, then opened up a huge space.

So he put all the acquired treasures and the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus in the space opened by the system.
