someone that they were too far behind to catch up with.
The gap was obvious.
Yi Yun ignored the opinions of others. After he had his dinner, he went straight back to his residence. He began meditating, allowing his body to slowly fuse with the primordial species essence.
After a night…
When the sky lit up, the Tai Ah Divine City was still filled with fog. After Yi Yun finished washing up, he prepared to report for his job.
Song Zijun also came out. The both of them lived close to one another.
Today, Song Zijun had changed into an ordinary bunt shirt and looked less like a wealthy young master, and had a little more rustic flavor.
“Yi Yun, you picking herbs is such a waste. Your movement skills at your age, are the best I’ve seen in my whole life!” Song Zijun was still completely puzzled over Yi Yun’s decision.
The most important part about being a sparring partner was not to be resilient against attacks. Even if you were resilient against attacks, after being hit multiple times, you would still get beaten down. The most powerful sparring partner was the type that could dodge attacks and protect himself.
Yi Yun had entered the large success stage of Minute Subtlety, meaning he would have great benefits as a sparring partner. Song Zijun was actually very envious, but now Yi Yun was going to pick herbs, which was a waste of a treasure.
“Are you really not thinking of following me?” Song Zijun still felt some regret over Yi Yun’s decision.
“No.” Yi Yun smiled and waved at Song Zijun.
Song Zijun shook his head, “Forget it, you have your own decisions. My thoughts might not suit you…”
Ever since Yi Yun managed to reach the threshold of the large success stage of Minute Subtlety, Song Zijun had greatly admired Yi Yun. Although Yi Yun’s decision was odd, Song Zijun believed that Yi Yun had his reasons…
Fifteen minutes later, Yi Yun reached his job’s location. The different types of miscellaneous jobs had their own respective locations.
Since sparring was very popular, it resulted in a surplus of applicants, producing a long line.
But the job of picking herbs was much quieter.
Yi Yun reached his destination, he found a few girls who were arranging the herbs leisurely.
When these girls saw Yi Yun, they were a bit surprised. When they saw that Yi Yun was in rookie attire, it was apparent he was a rookie that just entered the Tai Ah Divine City. To be a boy and pick herbs as a rookie was unbelievable.
Boys who occasionally came to pick herbs usually suffered some injuries, resulting in them being unfit for sparring or forging; hence, they came to pick herbs.
Yi Yun ignored the girls and reported his name, receiving a drug basket, a jade box to hold the herbs, and a map of the herb mountain.
The person-in-charge was a thirty-odd year old woman with last name Wang. She was indifferent with Yi Yun’s arrival, and she just kept looking into her mirror. She kept fiddling with a lock of her hair, but she was never satisfied with whatever position it was in.
Even as the herb-picking person-in-charge, she herself felt that herb-picking was a dead-end business. Seeing Yi Yun coming to dawdle at his young age made her have no good feelings for Yi Yun.
“That… This Sister… May I ask how many dragon scale runes are exchanged for the herbs picked by this junior?”
The Wang girl glanced at Yi Yun and placed her mirror down. This was probably because Yi Yun used the words “Sister” making her feel good; hence, she grew some patience for this lazy child who came to pick herbs. She threw a manual at Yi Yun and said, “This is the exchange table of the herbs and dragon scales. Look at it yourself.”
Yi Yun caught the manual and flipped to the first page. Seeing the words on the first page, Yi Yun was shocked.
The first page wrote–
“Qingli Year 82, Zhong Yi picked 630 pounds of herbs using 60 days, obtaining 19,260 dragon scale runes. He had broken the records of the ancestors. This record is to encourage future generations!”
Record? This can’t be…
“Even a miscellaneous job like picking herbs has a record?”
