The courtyard of the registration office wasn't big. It was only half the size of the courtyard used by the genius disciples, but it looked incomparably exquisite and the environment inside was really good. At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was open. According to Dong Fei, there was only one elder in the entire registration office, because there really wasn't a need for too many people.
Genius Prefecture would recruit top disciples from the major sects at a fixed time every year. Only during those two days would the registration office be busier. As for the rest of the time, the registration office was the most idle. Basically, there was nothing to do. So, the person in charge of the registration office was actually an idle job.
Under the lead of Dong Fei, Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog came to the gate of the courtyard. Without any hesitation, they walked over. The small courtyard was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. The scenery was incomparably beautiful. There were even rockeries. Upon entering the gate, they saw an elder who seemed to be in his fifties reclining lazily on a wide rattan chair. No one knew what he was chewing in his mouth. He was holding a golden fan in his hand, which was flashing at a high frequency.
"This old man is really leisurely. Sure enough, he's the most leisurely position in Genius Prefecture."
Da Huang Dog said enviously.
"Half-step Immortal Emperor cultivation base, but his qi doesn't seem stable. He must have used some kind of medicine to forcefully increase his cultivation base. Such a half-step Immortal Emperor is vulnerable, but it's understandable. After all, he's already old and his potential has been exhausted. It's already very good that he can maintain his current cultivation base. He won't have the chance to break through to the true Immortal Emperor realm in his lifetime."
Jiang Chen murmured. With his sharp eyesight, he could see the depth of this elder at first glance. Although this elder was a half-step Immortal Emperor, he was only a little stronger than an ordinary late Immortal King expert. Plus, his foundation was very unstable. He must have used some kind of medicine to forcefully increase his cultivation base.
For a person like this elder, having cultivated to this level, he had nothing else to ask for. Being able to get an idle job in Genius Prefecture was also a pretty good choice.
"Brother Jiang, that being said, Elder Yang isn't someone to be trifled with. Because his surname is Yang and he's a member of the Yang Family of Great Qian Empire. It's impossible for an ordinary person to get an idle job in Genius Prefecture."
Dong Fei explained.
"I see."
Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog were enlightened. They finally understood why Elder Yang was able to enjoy life in Genius Prefecture even though his cultivation was so weak. It turned out that he was a member of the Yang Family. In that case, there was nothing more to say. The entire Genius Prefecture belonged to the Yang Family.
"He's called Yang Ling, a member of Crown Prince Palace. Previously, he was merely at the peak of late Immortal King realm. Later on, he broke through to the half-step Immortal Emperor realm with the help of Crown Prince."
Dong Fei added.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen could not help but frown. He did not have a good impression of the people from the Crown Prince Palace. However, he did not care about Yang Ling at all. Anyway, he was here to register. After the registration, he would not have any contact with this old man anymore.
Yang Ling sensed that someone had come. He did not even open his eyes. He said lazily, "Who is chattering here? You are disturbing my rest."
Dong Fei hastily took a step forward and saluted Yang Ling. "Elder Yang, a new disciple has come to register."
Jiang Chen didn't care about Yang Ling, but Dong Fei didn't dare to neglect him. Putting aside the fact that he couldn't afford to offend the people of Crown Prince Palace and Yang Family, Yang Ling's cultivation base alone wasn't something that he could afford to offend. No matter what kind of method Yang Ling used to advance, Yang Ling was a true half-step Immortal Emperor. Given Dong Fei's intermediate Immortal King cultivation base, he wouldn't be a match for Yang Ling at all.
Hearing the arrival of a new disciple, Yang Ling opened his eyes reluctantly. His eyes fell upon Jiang Chen. When he realized that Jiang Chen was merely a half-step Immortal King, he knitted his brows immediately.
"Is there a mistake? A half-step Immortal King has come to register? Is there a mistake?"
Yang Ling said.
"Elder Yang, there's no mistake. He's Jiang Chen, the Jiang Chen of King Fan Prefecture. He has an identity jade token."
Dong Fei said.
"Jiang Chen."
Upon hearing the name of Jiang Chen, Yang Ling's eyes flickered with a trace of coldness. Dong Fei might not be able to feel it, but Jiang Chen could sense it clearly.
"This is my identity jade token. Elder, please arrange a place for me to stay."
Jiang Chen took out the identity jade token and handed it to Yang Ling. Yang Ling was still lying there lazily. The fan in his hand was constantly flashing. The corner of his mouth was wearing a smile, but he didn't have the slightest intention to take the jade token from Jiang Chen's hand.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen was very annoyed. He had been very polite, but this old man still acted arrogantly. However, from the moment he heard that Yang Ling was a disciple of Crown Prince Palace, Jiang Chen had already expected such a scene. He knew that a small registration would bring trouble to this place.
"The new disciple isn't polite at all. Can't you see that I'm resting? Just wait for a while. After I'm done resting, I'll handle it for you. "
Yang Ling said faintly. Clearly, he was trying to make things difficult for Jiang Chen.
"Elder is busy resting, but this disciple is busy cultivating. I hope elder can handle it for me as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen resisted the urge to slap him and spoke in a tone as kind as possible. "Why is this disciple of yours so insensible?
You've just arrived at Genius Prefecture and you've already learned to talk back to the elder. Fine, I'll handle it for you now. Look over there, keep walking until you reach a valley at the end. There's a northern courtyard in the valley. It's quiet and secluded. That will be the place for you to cultivate. Go ahead. "
Yang Ling was very impatient.
Jiang Chen looked in the direction where Yang Ling was pointing and saw a long row of courtyards. The valley at the end seemed to have been separated from the courtyard area.
Dong Fei widened his eyes and said, "Elder, that place is extremely old. There's no spiritual vein below. It's not a place for disciple to cultivate at all."
* Pa! *
Before Dong Fei could finish his words, Yang Ling had already slapped the rattan chair.
"Dong Fei, who do you think you are? How dare you point your fingers in front of me? Are you courting death?"
Yang Ling seemed extremely angry.
"Elder Yang, I think you'd better check the qi on the identity jade token. My residence has already been arranged."
Jiang Chen continued. There was a limit to his patience.
"What are you looking at? I'm the one who has the final say on the arrangement of the residence. You go there and scram."
Yang Ling waved his fan, looking like he was asking for a beating.
"Brother Jiang, you can't go there. That's the forbidden area for the disciples of Genius Prefecture. Those who have entered that place in recent years have all died. No one knows what's hidden in that valley. Although it's not clearly marked as a forbidden area, no one dares to go there anymore."
Dong Fei said.
Upon hearing this, if Jiang Chen could still endure it, Da Huang Dog absolutely couldn't.
"F * ck you, old fart! What the f * ck are you being so arrogant for? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
