Some people were destined to be unknown.
Some people were destined to be remembered by others.
If the road ahead was full of thorns and obstacles, then one was destined to remain silent and inactive.
Perhaps one would be badly battered if one faced the difficulties head-on, but as long as one had the courage, one would have already left the ordinary.
…
Shifang Dan Province was located in the center of Shifang Ancient City. It was like a city within a city, separated from the outside by towering walls.
On the bustling streets, from time to time, gazes would be cast on the alchemists entering and exiting the city. Their eyes were filled with envy and respect.
For thousands of years, countless outstanding alchemists had emerged from Shifang Dan Province.
Over the years, the Ten Directions Pill Palace had many formulas and Mental Energy Cultivation Methods that many alchemists coveted. However, the Ten Directions Pill Palace's recruitment requirements were too harsh. Many people could only sigh at the prospect of enrolling in it.
Tian Liang and Qin Yichen quickly arrived at Shifang Dan Province.
Looking at the passageway in front of him that resembled a city gate, Tian Liang's expression became a little conflicted. His eyes were also filled with confusion.
Although he had always lived in Shifang Ancient City, he couldn't remember how many years it had been since he last came to this place.
It wasn't that he wasn't qualified to enter, but that there were various factions in Shifang Dan Province. As an elder with a damaged Sea of Consciousness, he would only be ridiculed if he entered.
"Senior, this is the place where you should be."
While Tian Liang was lost in thought, Qin Yichen's firm voice fell into his ears.
Hearing this voice, Tian Liang's body trembled, and a terrifying light burst out from his eyes. However, this light disappeared in a flash.
"Let's go."
Tian Liang laughed bitterly. After which, his figure walked towards the city gate. Qin Yichen's gaze swept across the area before he quickly followed behind.
As soon as Qin Yichen stepped into the city gate, he noticed that there were many gazes directed at him and Tian Liang. However, these gazes were filled with contempt and ridicule.
Fortunately, Tian Liang had suffered enough humiliation over the years. In the face of these strange gazes, he didn't seem to notice. He walked straight through the city gate and walked toward one of the tall buildings.
Originally, he was still a little worried that Qin Yichen would cause trouble because he could not stand the gazes of others. However, when he saw that Qin Yichen's expression was even more indifferent than his own, he understood that he had worried too much.
He really couldn't see through this kid. From how he easily defeated so many people from the Dong Lin Sect, it wasn't difficult to see that Qin Yichen wasn't weak.
Tian Liang couldn't help but be secretly surprised that a person with such strength didn't show the slightest bit of impatience in the face of so many strange gazes.
This kind of mentality actually appeared in such a young man.
Seeing Qin Yichen's attitude, Tian Liang's hope for him unknowingly increased a little.
Tian Liang's forward steps finally stopped in front of a majestic building.
Qin Yichen also stopped and looked at the huge building in front of him. Its design was unique, and its entire appearance looked like a pill furnace that had been enlarged a few hundred times. There were many windows that looked like vents on the top of the building, and the roof at the top was like the lid of a pill furnace that covered everything.
Finally, Qin Yichen's gaze fell on the top of the building's gate. There was a huge jade plaque there, and three simple words flickered with obscure fluctuations.
"Shifang Pavilion!"
Qin Yichen muttered softly. This was the place where everyone who wanted to enter Shifang Dan Province had to pass the test.
Whether it was recommendations, assessments, or future missions in Shifang Dan Province, they would all be carried out here.
The appearance of Tian Liang and Qin Yichen also attracted many strange gazes. After taking a deep breath, Tian Liang ignored those gazes. He took a step forward and walked into it.
The hall of Shifang Pavilion was extremely spacious. Although there were nearly a hundred people in it, it didn't feel crowded at all.
Some people seemed to have heard some strange noises at the door, and they cast their gazes in this direction. When they saw Tian Liang, who was dressed as a beggar, their eyes were filled with surprise and ridicule. Then, they all lowered their heads and went about their own business. Whispers were also quietly heard.
"Isn't that Tian Liang? Didn't he not come here after he offended the Dong Lin Sect? Why is he here today? "
"I don't know, but he's bringing a kid with him. Could it be that he's here for a recommendation?"
"Pfft? Recommendation? How could anyone dare to take his recommendation? "
Tian Liang's downfall was no secret in Shifang Dan Province. Almost everyone knew about it. They were very curious about how this guy still had the nerve to come here.
Was it really like those whispers, that he was here to recommend someone to enter Shifang Dan Province?
However, these people knew in their hearts that although the latter was down and out, Dan Province didn't revoke his status as an elder. In Dan Province, the hierarchy of status was very important, so they didn't dare to go up and ask anything.
Tian Liang naturally heard and felt these whispers and mocking gazes. He shook his head inwardly and walked straight to the side of the hall with Qin Yichen.
Seeing Tian Liang walk over, the two staff members who were in charge of the recommendation put away their mocking expressions.
"Name, age?"
A middle-aged man on the workbench asked lazily.
"Qin Yichen, 18 years old." Qin Yichen didn't care about the man's attitude and answered.
"18 years old?"
Hearing this age, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
However, when he saw Tian Liang beside Qin Yichen, he chuckled and casually took a piece of paper to register. Then, he pointed to the stairs at the side of the hall, indicating that he should go to the second floor for the assessment.
Tian Liang nodded at Qin Yichen. Under the strange gazes of the crowd, the two of them walked toward the assessment area on the second floor.
"Is Elder Tian Liang deliberately trying to harm someone?"
"Hehe, I don't know how that kid pulled Elder Tian here. However, regardless of whether he passes the assessment or not, I'm afraid he won't have a good ending."
"Hmm, but why does the name Qin Yichen sound so familiar?"
Tian Liang looked at Qin Yichen with some embarrassment when he heard the discussions below. Those who were related to him didn't have a good ending.
