Daily life of a cultivation judge

Chapter 724 Guests (2)

"They should be done or just about done with their experience.." he added as his mind wondered about the fate of the two siblings he had met in Purple Grass City.

For failure to complete the test in time, Zou Yi and his team were sent to the region where the gold grade tests were done where they would be pushed to the brink of death by the inquisitors before they could officially be accepted as students of the Institute.

Usually, the ordeal would last for three months, but it has been known to last longer. The instructors were fiends in human skin, after all, they enjoyed breaking the spirits of the young cultivators in every which way. Considering the siblings had not reached out through his family, he figured they should still be on the testing ground.

"Hopefully, they're just about done.." Yang Qing said as he faintly shivered when flashbacks of his purple grade test appeared in his mind briefly before he shook his head to dispel those thoughts. Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

"What about Wen Yingjie, where is he?" asked Yang Qing.

"He is at the Green Landscape.." answered Shen Zemin.

Yang Qing detected there was something in Shen Zemin's demeanor, he seemed somewhat ambivalent.

"Green landscape, huh.. considering his circumstances, it's understandable why he would want to be frugal..." muttered Yang Qing.

The Green landscape was a tract of land that had nothing but grass in it. It worked like an inn, without any of the amenities such as inns, courtyards, pavilions, and arrays. All it had was grass and nothing but grass. It was owned and operated by the Order, whose purpose was to provide accommodations to those who have come to the headquarters for one reason and don't have a lot in the way of finances to afford any of the other places.

It costs two low-grade spirit stones to book a space in the Green landscape. Even without any sort of amenities, for the price, staying there was a complete steal because of the denseness of the spiritual qi in the area, however, despite the richness, as long as one could help it, most would avoid that place.

It lacked privacy, among other things, and for cultivators who loved face just as much as their own life, most avoided that place like a plague, as only cultivators who were from the unranked frequented that place.

Yang Qing could understand why Administrator Shen Zemin had an incredulous look on his face. Wen Yingjie was a peak stage core formation realm, by all accounts even if he was a rogue cultivator, surely he would have the ability to afford a place better than the Green Landscape as even an early-stage foundation establishment cultivator would be able to reasonably afford a better place than the Landscape.

As for Yang Qing, he could understand Wen Yingjie's frugality. He had likely spent almost everything he had in making the saber and add to that he already had a debt of 6,000 high-grade spirit stones saddled on him. Of course, he would be frugal.

"Could you give me his coordinates, please, administrator Shen Zemin.." said Yang Qing.

Shen Zemin nodded as a jade slip appeared on his hand which he handed to Yang Qing.

"His token has already been marked on it.." said Shen Zemin.

"Thanks.." said Yang Qing as he cupped his fists in gratitude.

"I'll see him first, as for the Wang couple, I don't know if I could trouble you Daoist Pan Liu, and have them sent to the Flaming Goose Restaurant at the Blue Respite in Recluse Valley.

They're Zou Yi's and Zou Liqin's guardians, I was hoping to have them registered but that will have to wait until after I am done with Wen Yingjie.."

"It's no problem, Judge Yang Qing, I will have them sent there.." said the gold eagle guard as he cupped his fists in departure heading towards the courtyard the Wang couple were staying at.

The Blue Respite was a small town within the Recluse Valley that formed as a result of the families of the members of the Order, both the students and the confirmed employees. When those from the Order chose to relocate with their family, the families would be given a place at the Blue Respite.

The families carried with them their different tools of trade, some were alchemists, some herbologists, some blacksmiths, some talisman refiners, others were cooks and tea makers, others skilled painters or players of the instruments, and with that, a town of trade grew.

The Order could only provide support to the member who was in the Order, as for the families, other than giving them a place to stay, which was very generous at that since the area was as rich as the blessed ground of a rank 3 sect, the families were left to provide for themself using the space provided to them.

They did receive a few special privileges such as discounts on cultivation resources that the Order may have in surplus, but the rest was up to them, they needed to be self-sufficient, which was why the impromptu growth of the town was a welcomed surprise for the Order, which prompted them to have separate departments there to ensure the stability and smooth growth of the town by reducing conflict. Where there were people, conflict was never far behind.

One of the departments located there was the resettlement department which helped new families settle in and acclimate to the region. After he was done with Wen Yingjie, Yang Qing planned to take the old Wang couple to that department and have them registered as the Zou Sibling's guardians, though the Zou siblings were also required to be there in the flesh for the registration process. Yang Qing could only hope they were done with their torture and that they retained some semblance of rationality, after.

With both sides already at an agreement, Yang Qing left for the Green Landscape to meet up withWen Yingjie while Shen Zemin returned to his other duties, no doubt dealing with other cases similar to the one Yang Qing had, while Pan Liu left to guide the Wang's.

It didn't take long for Yang Qing to arrive at the Green Landscape. It resembled a meadow during summer, full of life, energy, and tranquility, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Once inside, Yang Qing used the jade slip he had been given to locate Wen Yingjie. As he flew over, he made a point to hide his presence lest he cause a commotion in the area. The bulk of the cultivators in the place were in the middle stages of the qi refinement realm going below.

Yang Qing flew for close to three minutes before finally he detected Wen Yingjie's presence. He had been seated in silent meditation with his sheathed saber lying above his thighs.

"Seems like he had tremendous harvests.." muttered Yang Qing when he noticed Wen Yingjie's aura along with that of his saber.

Wen Yingjie was already at the quasi-palace stage, his aura was unassuming while hiding a terrifying sharpness within it, as for his saber, while it wasn't a monarch-grade saber yet, Yang Qing could feel the strength of its spirit. It was inches away from triggering its tribulation and from its strength, it was all but guaranteed to survive it, unlike before.

"It seems congratulations are in order, Daoist Wen Yingjie.." softly said Yang Qing as he casually appeared next to him, who opened his eyes in shock at Yang Qing appearing so close to him without him being aware.

Wen Yingjie was about to get up when Yang Qing placed his hand on him as he said,

"There's no need for that.." as he took a seat next to him and fished out two cups and a wine jar which he poured for them both.

"Will you drink with me?" asked Yang Qing.

"It would be my honor.." said Wen Yingjie with a tone of respect.
