Zhou Kui and his boys had intense reactions. One of the boys even jumped up as high as three feet from a stone bench.
They had previously seen the law-enforcers bring Yi Yun to see the Elder, but they had no idea what the reason was.
Today, they finally knew that it was because he had picked a primordial herb.
But.. How was that possible!?
How could a Purple Blood realm warrior manage to pick a herb of that level?
“Oh? That young guy is called Yi Yun?” At this time, another young blacksmith stood up, “You guys know him?”
“Uh?” Seeing this young man suddenly stand up, Zhou Kui stumbled. This youth had left a deep impression on him.
This person was not very tall and looked thin. But he made more than a hundred dragon scale runes a day by striking metal!
Of course, he was not a rookie. He had been in the Divine wilderness campgrounds for a year. He was in his second year of military service.
As a recruit in his first year, Zhou Kui was awed by these veteran soldiers.
This was due to their strength.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Ah Jun. Our Hongdao Association’s President is very interested after hearing about this youth. He wants to pull him into the association.”
Hongdao Association!
Zhou Kui had heard of this small association.
Many of the people in the smithy were from the Hongdao Association!
The Hongdao Association’s President was named Li Hong. His ranking on the Heaven ranking was 1030 and his Earth ranking was 1100.
This ranking may sound bad, but Li Hong had just entered the Divine wilderness camp last year.
Adding the previous month, Li Hong had been in the Divine wilderness camp for 13 months. To be ranked 1030 made him terrifying!
After all, it was extremely rare for someone to enter the top 1000 ranks in a year. This extraordinary genius was sufficient to alarm the Divine Kingdom’s various super factions.
Li Hong was just a step shy from this.
Li Hong was very ambitious. By setting up the Hongdao Association, he only took in people who had been in the Divine wilderness camp for less than a year.
The Hongdao Association was not strong yet. However, through the passage of time, by the time Li Hong had spent 3-4 years cultivating in the Tai Ah Divine City, they would become veteran cultivators. As such, this association would end up being one of the strongest associations in the Tai Ah Divine City!
Currently, many of the best first and second year recruits had been absorbed into the Hongdao Association.
It was unexpected that they had Yi Yun in their radar.
Zhou Kui did not feel happy about it. He had been forging metal with these Hongdao Association people for a month, but they had never even looked him in the eye.
And they had finally spoken to him, but it was because they were looking for Yi Yun!
Zhou Kui was pissed, but he did not dare to antagonize the Hongdao Association. If he were to offend an association that would end up being a large one in four years time, his life in the Tai Ah Divine City would become very unpleasant.
“Alright… He picks herbs in the day. He should be back home at night. I know where he stays…”
Zhou Kui grudgingly said. He felt as if he had swallowed a fly.
It was really exasperating comparing.
“Ha, thanks!”
The youth named Ah Jun smiled. Not only was their Hongdao Association looking for Yi Yun to be a member, they had some other important matters to discuss with him.
…
In the evening, the Sun began setting in the west. The majestic Tai Ah Divine City reflected the sunset and was covered in a layer of red and gold.
In the Tai Ah Divine City’s low-class dining hall, cultivators were scurrying in from all directions to receive their meals.
The Tai Ah Divine City provided delicious food and it was filling because of the desolate beast meat.
The cultivators in the Tai Ah Divine City who went out on expeditions would return daily from the Divine wilderness, bringing the desolate beasts they hunted to exchange for dragon scale runes. The most precious materials and bones were taken away for processing, while the worthless meat was distributed as food.
In the Cloud Wilderness tribes, where desolate beast meat was rare, it was high grade food. In the Tai Ah Divine city however, it was the lowest grade of food.
The cook house in the Tai Ah Divine City had a very special pot for cooking their desolate beast meat. This pot was a treasure and was called the Tai He Precious Cauldron!
The head chef who operated the Tai He Precious Cauldron was a human lord who was seldom seen, but had an extreme love for delicacies.
This Tai He Precious Cauldron was the human lord’s precious treasure.
The Tai He Precious Cauldron had a world within it. It could hold a small mountain worth of food. Even if normal pork, beef or mutton were thrown in, the head chef could use the Tai He Precious Cauldron to cook an extremely tasty meal. It was imbued with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. It could prolong the lives of ordinary people if they ate it often.
