C209 Separation from Jun
This is the first time since the Floating Cloud Pavilion was founded that we have faced the recruitment of pill refiners from the outside world. Therefore, it can be said to be an unprecedented opportunity for all of us pill refiners.
Elder Han was a clean and efficient person, seeing that all the pill refiners who knew of the news had arrived, the entire plaza probably had at least twenty thousand pill refiners. After he finished speaking, he did not waste any more words, and directly waved his hand, taking out a fist-sized blue stone. The stone was about the size of a crystal, and as soon as the Elder Han threw it out, it flew into the air.
The stone instantly flew out and floated in the air above the field. Under Elder Han's hand signs, it let out a light popping sound, and in an instant, a blue light instantly spread out from the stone. When it enveloped all the pill refiners in the field, the blue light from the crystal finally stopped spreading.
As the blue light enveloped the pill refiners in the square, they all felt a powerful suction force pulling on them. Lei Yang only felt that the world in front of his eyes instantly turned blue, and the blue crystal in the sky started to emit a huge suction force.
Just as Lei Yang was shocked, and was suspecting in his heart that this was the so-called beginning to choose a pill refiner, the sound of all the pill refiners inhaling could be heard, and the Elder Han at the top of the steps once again pointed towards the blue crystal stone.
As the finger landed, the blue light became even stronger, causing the entire area to feel as if it had solidified, as if it had turned into a blue ocean.
Just at that time, the huge suction from before suddenly increased, before anyone could react, a portion of them were directly sucked up into the air, floating in the air, while Lei Yang was directly sucked into the air.
This state lasted for about ten breaths of time. When the Elder Han at the top of the stairs saw that no one was sucked into the blue light, he immediately waved his hand and countless jade slips flew out from his sleeves.
Those jades pierced through the light barrier and accurately fell into the hands of the hundreds of pill refiners who were sucked into the void by the blue crystal stone.
After that, the Elder Han grabbed the air and grabbed the blue crystal stone back into his hand. The blue light disappeared in an instant and everything in the plaza returned to normal. When Lei Yang and the hundreds of pill refiners in the sky landed back on the ground, a jade scroll appeared in their hands.
The jade strips were extremely delicate, with the word "Core" carved on the front, and more than a few clouds of symbols carved on the back. Holding them in his hands, he gave a unique feeling, just as Lei Yang was about to carefully look at them, the Elder Han's voice boomed once again from above the stage.
"The examination to recruit the pill refiners has ended. All the pill refiners with jade slips have passed the examination to be recruited by the pill refiners of Floating Cloud Pavilion. You all have one day to prepare, and will gather outside the city gates of Fengdu tomorrow morning.
This is the end of the Pill Refiner Recruitment Conference. After Han Zhentie finished speaking, he waved his big sleeve and cupped his fists towards Tian Zi Liu Hao, and the two of them once again stepped into the palace that looked like a dragon's belly.
It was only until the palace's doors were completely shut did all the pill refiners in the plaza realise that the event that was recruited by the mighty Pill Master Liu Yun had actually ended in such a simple test by the Elder Han.
Following that, various sounds of shock, clamor, surprise, and unwillingness broke out in the Imperial Palace's square.
"What, is it going to end like this? "What kind of test is this, how can it be so simple?"
"The elders of the Floating Cloud Pavilion are indeed extraordinary. Even the method of this test is so different that it's as fast as lightning."
"Why? I had traveled so far and paid such a huge price, so why did it end so easily? I hope the Elder Han can give everyone an explanation."
"Heavens! I've been selected! Haha, I've been selected!"
All sorts of discussions filled the square in the center of the Imperial City. This simple test seemed to make all the pill refiners who were not selected feel unsatisfied, but in reality, they felt like they had yet to finish it.
This feeling made them feel as if it hadn't even begun, and that it was already over before they even had time to experience it properly.
Although there were many people who were unconvinced, facing the power of the Floating Cloud Pavilion, even if they were unconvinced in their hearts, they could at most grumble a little, but they could do nothing about it.
But at this moment, Lei Yang was ecstatic in his heart. He tightly clenched the jade scroll in his hand, and without caring about the astonishing discussions from the Imperial City behind him, he rushed towards the Western City, feeling relaxed all the way. His mood was extremely good, and even couldn't help but whistle.
Lei Yang felt that he had a day to prepare, and that he had to leave the Imperial City. There were indeed many things he needed to take care of.
He did not return to his own residence first, but instead went straight to the Heaven Fragrant Pavilion. Now that he had entered the Floating Cloud Pavilion, the thing that he was most worried about was his own disciple, A Mu. If he left, A Mu would very likely fall into trouble, so he had to find the most reliable backer for A Mu before he left. And this made him think of Qin Shi in an instant.
This unfathomably deep old man actually wasn't too familiar to Lei Yang, but for some reason, at this moment, Lei Yang just happened to think of him. He even felt that this old man was reliable, and had an indescribable sense of trust.
However, trust was trust, if he only wanted to ask Qin Shi to take care of A Mu after he left, then that would be completely unreliable. Therefore, Lei Yang planned to simply turn the number one pill shop in the Imperial City into the name of the Scented Pill Pavilion, and split the five levels of income he had gained with the Heaven Fragrant Pavilion.
In the room on the third floor of Heaven Fragrant Pavilion, when Lei Yang told Qin Shi of this idea, Qin Shi agreed straightforwardly. After all, no one would refuse such a huge good thing.
After solving this problem, a stone was finally lifted from Lei Yang's heart. Before he left, Lei Yang teasingly said: "Hey old man, do you still have a pot of that Immortal Drunk for me?"
Qin Shi's face immediately darkened, and said: "Stinking brat, you're not big yet. Do you know that a pot of Immortal Drunk could hold up to half of my Heaven Fragrant Pavilion?
's heart jumped, what a fellow, no wonder why his cultivation could grow so fast, it turned out it was so rare, he quickly cupped his fist and changed the subject: "Qin Shi, after I leave, I hope that you can take care of Shangguan Family."
Without waiting for Qin Shi to reply, he turned and left with a guilty conscience. As he walked forward, he heard Qin Shi complaining in the room.
"Brat, you're the only one who has so much to do!"
When Lei Yang returned to the residence, he explained everything to A Mu in detail. He also arranged for the number one pill shop in the Imperial City to be incorporated into the Heaven Fragrant Pavilion.
Just as Lei Yang returned to his room, prepared to take a good rest, and set out tomorrow, just at that moment, Shangguan Mujin suddenly arrived.
Inside the room, the two of them sat facing each other without speaking. Shangguan Mujin seemed to have felt Lei Yang's intention to leave, and only after a long while did he slowly speak with a hint of sadness: "Big Brother Lei, I'll bring you to a place!"
Lei Yang did not speak, he only nodded his head and followed Shangguan Mujin. The two of them walked out of the residence and continued walking, silently moving through the Western City.
The night was full and the moonlight was hazy. The silver radiance sprinkled onto Shangguan Mujin's body, causing her to appear as tranquil and beautiful as water.
She wished that Lei Yang wasn't chosen by the Floating Cloud Pavilion, but at the same time, she also deeply understood that the man by his side should have a wider world to travel around.
It was only after a long time that they finally reached a huge lake in the Western City. This was a huge inner city lake, and had long been built as a unique sight within the Western City.
As time passed, it was already spring. Although there was not a beautiful spring day with a hundred flowers blooming, the scenery of "one year's spring benefits, definitely surpassing that of the entire capital of the Smoky Willows" should be mentioned here!
Shangguan Mujin lightly pulled up a strand of messy hair that had slipped on his face and walked over to the embankment to sit down. Lei Yang also sat down next to her.
Looking at the calm lake's surface, where a moon that was like a white jade plate laid quietly in the center of the lake, Shangguan Mujin suddenly said in a gentle voice, "This lake is called Liu Yue Hu, it is the most famous scenery in Western City, and whenever it is spring, this is the most beautiful place in Imperial City. Back then, when he built this lake, he wanted to use the countless weeping willows on the shore to leave behind the moon at the center of the lake. That was why he named it the Liuyue Lake, but that was only an illusory fantasy.
Big Brother Lei, Mujin understood that maybe we are people from completely different worlds. Someone like you will sooner or later have to travel to an even wider world.
Mujin does not ask for anything else, but only hopes that one day in the future, you will occasionally remember that under this beautiful moonlight, there was once a person who silently gave his blessings to you. "After Shangguan Mujin finished speaking, he very naturally rested his head on Lei Yang's shoulder.
A gentle breeze caressed the tender green branches of the willow trees on the shore, breaking the tranquil surface of the lake under the moonlight. It even caused ripples that could not be calmed within Lei Yang's heart.
Humans were not like plants and vegetation, they were ruthless. It was just that the road ahead was difficult, and Lei Yang didn't even know where the end of his path was far away.
As he carried the responsibility of a great clan, his entire body was bound to have endless twists and turns. Thus, he really did not want his love for girls to become a hindrance in his path, and even more so, did not want to leave the Mujin before him to have undetermined expectations.
In reality, from the very beginning, Lei Yang had always strived hard to restrain the emotions in his heart, and even more so at this moment, when he thought of his difficult path ahead, in the end, he had still stretched out his hand to hug Mujin. Then, he slowly put it down.
In the gentle breeze, without knowing when, Mujin had already started to hum a sweet melody with her soft and beautiful voice. And the melody was precisely the famous song in the Imperial City, "That year, when the moon was in full bloom".
