However, no matter what Baldy Qin said, Yi Yun did not change his mind. 【【，
Yi Yun said, "Thank you Instructor Qin for your advice. I understand what you said."
No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger. Xiao Chen could not even stab a single Great Desolate Eon Arrow. However, a genius youth from a hidden clan could stab seven arrows in one go.
The gap between them could be imagined.
Baldy Qin's eyelids twitched. "Can you tell me your reason?"
He felt that there might be a reason why Yi Yun was so insistent on his ideas. If not, it would be too difficult to understand.
Yi Yun said, "There's no special reason. Back when I was in the Cloud Wilderness, I spent my days picking herbs to make a living. From the moment I could walk, I began picking herbs. After so many years, I have accumulated a lot of herb-picking experience. Furthermore, I am very talented in herb-picking, so I should be able to do well."
Yi Yun casually explained, but his words reached the ears of the people around him. They were all dumbfounded as they looked at Yi Yun oddly.
Cloud Wilderness? Gathering herbs to make a living?
The young elites present would occasionally gather herbs, but they would gather herbs in search of heavenly treasures that could help them break through to the next realm. Who would rely on gathering herbs to make a living?
They never expected that one of them was actually a medicine boy in the past, and he even came from the Cloud Wilderness?
They obviously knew that Yi Yun was stronger than them!
This made it even more difficult for them to accept … A medicine boy that came from the barren land of the Cloud Wilderness had defeated all of them who came from aristocratic families?
This really made people speechless. It was as if a mule had been mixed into a herd of horses. Then, this mule defeated all the horses.
A mule is not necessarily inferior to a horse. Mules excel in endurance and strength, and they eat less. Although horses were weak and could not do heavy work, they could run fast. It could be said that they each had their own advantages, but … no one would want to be a mule that could endure hardships instead of a fine horse.
Now, after a bunch of horses had chosen a job that could train their abilities, only Yi Yun chose herb-picking.
It was like a thousand-li horse choosing to fight on the battlefield. The mule chose to grind in the mill.
As for the reason, it was because he had done this back in the Cloud Wilderness. This was his profession.
Moreover, he said that he was talented in picking herbs.
This really made people not know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of talent could one have in picking herbs? Who didn't know how to pick herbs?
"What the hell is this kid doing?" Zhou Kui frowned as he looked at Yi Yun. He had crossed swords with Yi Yun a few times, and other than the last time, which could not be considered a loss, he had lost the other two times. He knew how powerful Yi Yun was, which was why he found it odd.
"Leave him alone, Kui. I think this kid is addicted to being a bumpkin. He's someone who came from the Great Wilderness. His way of thinking is so special … "
"What Old Xiong said is right. Brother Kui, if we were to come to the Tai Ah Divine City, there would be many benefits. He had to quickly accumulate dragon scale runes to increase his strength. That way, they would be able to engage in high-risk, high-reward work like hunting. How could one quickly accumulate dragon scale runes by picking herbs? That kid Yi Yun might be stronger than us now, but if he were to court death in such a manner, it would be impossible for him to win. No one can stop him. Perhaps it won't be long before he disappears into the crowd and becomes a stepping stone for others to climb up. "
The people from the Xuanwu Army secretly transmitted their voices. They had never met Yi Yun before, so they did not say much. It should be said that if anyone made a foolish choice, they would gloat because they were all competitors!
Baldy Qin shook his head and finally stopped trying to persuade them. He said, "All the best. Every year, there will be a few outstanding rookies. Qiuniu, Chu Xiaoran, in another two years, they will become the Yang Qian and Yao Dao you met before!"
"The two of them have hopes of entering the top 1000 of the Heaven or Earth roll of honor within a year. But what about you? How long will it take to enter the top 1000? And by the time you leave the Tai Ah Divine City, you might not even enter the top 1000? "
After Baldy Qin said this, he left.
Baldy Qin had said that if anyone could enter the top 1000 in the Tai Ah Divine City in a year, they would receive the attention of all the large factions in the Divine Kingdom.
If they entered the top 1000 in a year, they would be in the top 200 in two years. In three years, they would be in the 50s or 60s. By the time they left the Tai Ah Divine City in the sixth year, they would be in the top 5, top 3, or even first place!
The overall first place in the entire Tai Ah Divine City sounded too far away. The people who stood in that position were existences that people like Yao Dao and Yang Qian could not even hope to reach!
And Yao Dao and Yang Qian were existences that they could not even hope to catch up to.
The gap between them could be imagined.
Yi Yun did not care about what others thought of him. After dinner, he returned to his residence and began to meditate. He allowed his body to slowly integrate with the primordial species' essence.
An uneventful night …
At daybreak, the Tai Ah Divine City was still covered in the morning fog. Yi Yun washed up and prepared to report to the office.
Song Zijun had also gone out. The two of them lived very close.
Today, Song Zijun had changed into an ordinary short-sleeved shirt. He did not have the luxury of a rich young master, but had a simple and unpolished aura.
"Yi Yun, it's a waste for you to choose herb-picking. Your movement technique is the best I've seen among youths your age!" Song Zijun was puzzled by Yi Yun's decision.
The most important thing about being a sparring partner was not being able to withstand attacks. After all, no matter how resistant you were, you would eventually be beaten down. A truly good sparring partner would know how to dodge attacks and protect themselves.
With Yi Yun's Minute Subtlety, there was no need to mention the benefits of being a sparring partner. Song Zijun was originally envious, but now that Yi Yun wanted to pick herbs, wasn't it a waste?
"You really don't want to consider joining me?" Song Zijun still felt pity for Yi Yun's decision.
"There's no need." Yi Yun smiled and waved at Song Zijun.
Song Zijun shook his head, "Forget it. You have your own decision. My way of thinking might not be suitable for you …"
Ever since Yi Yun's movement technique reached the threshold of the large success stage of Minute Subtlety, Song Zijun had always admired Yi Yun. Although Yi Yun's decision sounded odd, Song Zijun felt that he had his reasons …
Fifteen minutes later, Yi Yun appeared at the Miscellaneous Chores Department. Different types of chores were handled in their respective Miscellaneous Chores Department.
The job of sparring partner was the most popular. Many a time, there would be a surplus of applicants. There would be long queues in the office every day.
But the office responsible for picking herbs was much more deserted.
When Yi Yun came to the Miscellaneous Chores Department, he found a few girls there. They were leisurely organizing the herbs.
When these girls saw Yi Yun, they were surprised. They saw that Yi Yun was wearing a rookie outfit. Clearly, he was a rookie who had just entered the Tai Ah Divine City. For a rookie to pick herbs, and a boy at that, was unbelievable.
Most of the boys who occasionally came to pick herbs were injured. They were not suitable to be sparring partners or blacksmithing, so they came here to pick herbs.
Yi Yun ignored these girls. After reporting his name, he received a herb basket, a jade box to store the herbs and a map of the herb mountain.
The person in charge of the office was a woman in her thirties. Her surname was Wang. She ignored Yi Yun's arrival and was looking at herself in the mirror. She was fiddling with a lock of hair, as if she was not satisfied with anything.
Even as the person in charge of the herb-picking office, she thought that picking herbs was a job with no future. She did not have a good impression of Yi Yun coming here at such a young age.
"That … Sister … Can I ask, what is the price of the herbs picked by this junior in dragon scale runes?"
Wang glanced at Yi Yun and put down the bronze mirror in her hand. It was probably because Yi Yun calling her "sister" was very pleasing to her. Hence, she became a little more patient with this lazy kid who came to pick herbs. She threw a booklet to Yi Yun and said, "This is the exchange table for the herbs' dragon scale runes. Take a look."
Yi Yun took the booklet and flipped to the first page. Upon seeing the words on the first page, Yi Yun was stunned.
The first page wrote:
"Qing calendar year 82, Zhong Yi picked 630 pounds of herbs. He spent 60 days and obtained 19,0260 dragon scale runes. He broke the previous record. This is recorded to encourage future generations!"
Record? It can't be …
"There are records for a job like picking herbs?"
Zhong Yi had broken the record by picking herbs in 60 days!
