Daily life of a cultivation judge

Filled with a chipper spirit, Yang Qing decided to tease Administrator Mo Guang as they were leaving the transmission room.

"Is that regret I see in your eyes, Administrator Mo Guang? With all the trouble brewing around this place, you're wishing you could take back your words and go back, aren't you? Don't worry as long as you say the word, I will righteously undertake your cause and make sure you go back with me.." said Yang Qing as he pumped up his gait.

Administrator Mo Guang stared at Yang Qing for a brief moment before he solemnly answered,

"If you would please. I am not sure these old bones of mine would be able to handle all this.."

The duo, young and old, ended up laughing through the hallways of the branch.

"What are your plans for the next few days?" asked Mo Guang.

"Not much. I intend to relax a bit and make the most of my time here. I did see some decent fruits out there.."

"If it wasn't for the numerous undercurrents surrounding this place, i have to admit, of the many places I have been to, during my time as a rotational administrator, I like the environment around this range. There's something refreshing and relieving about it.."

"You've never been here?"

"No. Even though as rotational administrators we can move from place to place, it is around a certain sphere, for example, in my case, I was designated in the northern sphere of the continent. I would only be given a post outside that sphere if another sphere is understaffed and the rotational administrators assigned to that area are not enough.."

"Administrator Mo Guang, could I make a request?"

"Sure, branch chief.."

"Do you like eating?"

"A bit but not enough to be called an epicurist. Why?"

"I was hoping you could give me a list of the restaurants you felt served good dishes from the places you were stationed at, and the meals that stood out to you. If you don't mind.." Yang Qing humbly asked with a gluttonous glint flashing in his eyes.

"Sure, I will even add a few my companions told me about.." Administrator Mo Guan said with a light chuckle.

"Thank you!!!" Yang Qing said as he eagerly shook Administrator Mo Guang's hands.

After separating, Yang Qing called over Su Jinjing and Luo Meilie and broke the news to them about the new personnel that would be replacing them. He also revealed the finding he made via the sacred flame swan as he warned them to be cautious out there.

Even with the presence of gold eagle guard Ye Xun and the other members of the Order who were laying down the formation array, one could never be careful. Yang Qing himself couldn't completely guarantee his life in this range, let alone Luo Meili and Su Jinjing who were in the core formation realm.

"A complete overhaul huh.." Su Jinjing somberly said as she looked at the hills and the winding river around her.

"It's better for them. At least they could avoid feeling like they are being haunted by the ghosts of their comrades.." said Yang Qing.

"I don't think I would be able to come back either if something like that happened to me.." said Su Jinjing with a somber sigh, with Luo Meili and Yang Qing nodding along.

Trying to shake off the somber mood she had created, Su Jinjing asked,

"So, what's your plan Boss, for the next few days?"

"Some scavenging.." said Yang Qing with a greedy snicker.

"Earlier, when we separated as we were coming back, I stumbled onto a few fruits and honey that I think would make a great fruit wine. We could enjoy it to commemorate our stay here.." added Yang Qing with starry eyes as he imagined the taste of that wine.

Su Jinjing was at first ecstatic before she seemed hesitant, almost as if afraid to ask something.

Yang Qing could already tell what it was.

"There wasn't one.." he said with a sigh.

"I guess that's that. It's a pity, but at least Flowing Fist Sect and the two elders got out.."

"It is.." Yang Qing said.

Even though he felt pity for the destroyed Hua Clan, Xin Clan, and the Moon Essence Cauldron Sect, he wasn't as beat up about it, especially after his interaction with the spirits entombed at the graveyard torch.

The three organizations took a risk to try and improve themselves and it didn't pay out, and the cost of that risk was their annihilation. It was similar to those who explored mysterious realms and dangerous locations in the hopes of finding something that would be able to change their fortunes, only for the place to be terrifying beyond their capabilities and they end up losing their lives in the process.

The road of cultivation was paved with countless dangers, the three organizations just weren't lucky enough.

Yang Qing separated from the two inquisitors as each went their way. Yang Qing had asked them to meet on the third day to have their farewell celebration. He had planned to have it at Meifeng's alcove but he would have to seek Meifeng's permission first considering how ambivalent she was about such matters. She hated loneliness, but at the same time, she was extremely wary of unfamiliar people.

Yang Qing couldn't help but feel that the only reason they hit it off so easily had something to do with his yin-yang nature jade bones that gave him a great affinity with all sorts of plants ever since he acquired it, though now that he thought about, even before when he just began his journey into cultivating, he could somehow tell the feelings of the mortal rank herbs around their clan, not only them but even the animals too, especially that black dog that always looked at him with disdain, snickering every time his grandfather and his cohorts came up with a new body refinement recipe that they wanted to try on Yang Qing.

Yang Qing couldn't help but clench his teeth when that smug hateful dog appeared in his mind. At some point in time, it had disappeared before he had the time to get his vengeance on it.

"Maybe I could have its karma deduced and track it down.." Yang Qing pettily thought before he shook his head.

"It will cost too much.."

Unwilling to let the memory of the black dog sour his mood any further, Yang Qing made his way to the kitchen and made Shi Hai privy to the leaving party he was hoping to have so he could plan a sumptuous menu.

He encouraged Shi Hai to go wild with his imagination, he would have Mo Guang requisition the Order for any ingredients he wanted to use. For his final days here, he intended to milk as much as he could from the Order, it was the only time he would get to wantonly do so without fear of them getting back at him several times over.contemporary romance

He couldn't help but snicker in glee as he and Shi Hai discussed the menu and the ingredients he needed. It wasn't hard to get the young chef excited about working with limitless ingredients and at some point in time, Yang Qing somehow forgot his petty scheme as his attention was completely absorbed by the potential dishes Shi Hai would make.

They spent close to three hours discussing it before Yang Qing hurriedly went to Administrator Mo Guang and gave him the list of ingredients that he was promised would be delivered by the end of the day through the transportation array in the transmission room.

With everything arranged, he called Meifeng, who as usual rattled endlessly about the things she, the spirit river melody skylark, the diamond beetle, and the crescent moon winged moth had been up to the past few days. Yang Qing patiently listened to her excited tales before finally she remembered to ask why he had called, and when he was coming by.

Yang Qing informed her that he was about to leave in a few days and hoped he could have the farewell party at her alcove. Few places could match the beauty and atmosphere of that place, especially after that mysterious figure made improvements to her pond. It had a perpetual refreshing calming coolness to it.

Meifeng was slightly hesitant at first, with Yang Qing not trying to cajole or guilt her into agreeing, he wanted it to be of her free will. Eventually, she agreed though she exhorted him to bring a lot of wine and the fried scallops he had the first time they met, to which Yang Qing readily agreed.

With all the particulars already done, Yang Qing headed to the secluded floor in the library to study the one thing that had been one of the reasons he agreed to come here in the first place, but did not have the time to study it.
