Chapter 46: Which One That One
The Law Enforcement Hall Elders finished explaining the sect rules, and it was time for the new disciples to choose a hall to enter. Bai Song, an inner disciple of the Sword Pavilion Hall, was there to attract new disciples to join the Sword Pavilion Hall. He demonstrated a set of Earth grade sword art. Being able to use an Earth grade sword art while being at the Crystallization Realm was a pretty remarkable feat, so he earned quite a bit of attention.
The inner disciples from the other halls also showed off their skills, which heated up the atmosphere.
What hall are you planning to join? Qin Shi Meng noticed that Ye Yong wasnt looking at the Sword Pavilion Hall and was instead looking for something else, so she got curious.
The Music and Artistic Hall. Ye Yong was unable to see anyone from the Music and Artistic Hall.
Music and Artistic Hall? Qin Shi Meng was confused. She knew that Ye Yong was a sword cultivator like she was- people from the Great Zhou Dynasty had even said that they would become a divine couple in the future who could combine their sword abilities. It was obvious from the name that the Music and Artistic Hall focused on the Dao of Music and Art.
Qin Shi Meng wasnt looking down on the Dao of Music or Art- rather, it was just that they were very hard to cultivate, so not many people chose to pursue the path.
Can you tell me the reason? As a friend, Qin Shi Meng thought that she had the responsibility to understand Ye Yongs reason so she could convince Ye Yong to give up early on so he wouldnt waste his precious time by venturing into a field that he wasnt familiar with.
Because I like it. Ye Yong knew that Qin Shi Meng was just thinking for him as a friend, but he was also thinking for himself.
That alright. That single line from Ye Yong dismissed everything that Qin Shi Meng wanted to say. After all, she couldnt stop Ye Yong from choosing to pursue a path that he was interested in, could she?
It suits you well, Ye Yong said. He wasnt going to convince Qin Shi Meng to change and join the Music and Artistic Hall with him because Qin Shi Mengs fortuitous opportunities were in the Sword Pavilion Hall. Ye Yong didnt dare to change too many things as he didnt want the future to go in a completely different direction than the one that he knew about.
Qin Shi Meng and her maid went over to the place where the Sword Pavilion Hall was registering new disciples. Liang Xiao Rou was in charge of registering female disciples. With a single glare, she scared off all the male cultivators who wanted to get near Qin Shi Meng. After all, not only was she at the 8th layer of the Crystallization Realm, but she also had a father who was at the Ascension Realm, so no one dared to be disrespectful to her.
Senior Sister Liang, may I ask where the Music and Artistic Hall is? Qin Shi Meng asked for Ye Yong upon seeing that he was still searching for it.
Music and Artistic Hall? In that corner over there. Because there havent really been any people that joined in the past years, their hall master just randomly picks out a disciple to come. Are you interested?
A little. Qin Shi Meng wasnt dumb- she wouldnt tell Liang Xiao Rou that Ye Yong wanted to join the Music and Artistic Hall. She had overheard Liang Xiao Rou telling Ye Yong to join the Sword Pavilion Hall, so Qin Shi Meng knew that she would just be asking Liang Xiao Rou to cause trouble for Ye Yong by telling her the truth.
Liang Xiao Rou didnt suspect anything at all. In fact, she had also been interested in joining the Music and Artistic Hall, but unfortunately for her, she only knew how to listen and enjoy music, not create music. Otherwise, she might have joined the Music and Artistic Hall back then.
After registering her basic information, Qin Shi Meng went back to where Ye Yong was and told him where the person from the Music and Artistic Hall was.
Many thanks, Ye Yong said. He originally wanted to ask someone, but everyone around him were also new disciples, so they wouldnt know either. Besides, Liang Xiao Rou wasnt looking at him every once in a while, so if he went to ask another senior disciple, Liang Xiao Rou would definitely come over and butt in.
If she learned that Ye Yong wasnt planning to join the Sword Pavilion Hall, then with her hot temper, she would definitely not agree and may even force him to register for the Sword Pavilion Hall.
There had been no mention of the Music and Artistic Hall in the novel when the male lead joined the Sword Pavilion Hall. It was one of the minor details that didnt get any attention in the novel, but a detail that mattered in the real world, so Ye Yong had to find it himself. Qin Shi Meng telling him about the location helped save him some time.
While Liang Xiao Rou was busy registering the female disciples, Ye Yong came to the corner where the disciple from the Music and Artistic Hall was. There was a young female cultivator there reading a book, and compared to the other halls, it seemed as if the Music and Artistic Hall didnt care about recruiting new disciples.
The female cultivator was pretty with white and tender skin. Her long hair reached down her shoulders, and she was reading her book seriously.
Hello, Senior Sister, Ye Yong said.
The female cultivator looked up and saw Ye Yong, who had a handsome face, so she immediately put her book away and smiled lightly. Whats up, junior brother, asking for directions?
No, I want to join the Music and Artistic Hall.
Oh, join the Music and Artistic Hall. Let me think about where hmm? Wait! Join the Music and Artistic Hall? the female cultivators eyes widened in shock as if she had heard something unbelievable. Are, are you sure?
Im sure.
What about this junior sister? the female cultivator asked, looking at Qin Shi Meng.
Qin Shi Meng shook her head. Ive already joined the Sword Pavilion Hall.
Although she was a bit regretful, the female cultivator was satisfied that there was even one cultivator who was willing to join the Music and Artistic Hall, especially since he was very handsome. She quickly took out the registration book and asked, Whats your name? Whats your cultivation level? How many colors is your foundation?
Ye Yong-
Ye Yong only managed to say his name when the female cultivator shouted in surprise. Its you! Youre Ye Yong! That Ye Yong!
Although I dont know which one youre talking about, but I should be that one.
Ye Yong? The Ye Yong with a 7-color foundation? The female cultivators shouting drew the attention of the senior disciples of the other halls. The news that Ye Yong had a 7-color foundation had long circulated through the Great Zhou Dynasty and even the East Forest Continent.
It had been more than a hundred years since the last 7-color foundation cultivator had appeared, and his name had long spread in the cultivator and the mortal world while he had been on the airship to Heavenly Luo Sect.
Liang Xiao Rou frowned upon hearing the commotion. What is that guy doing at the Music and Artistic Hall? She was just about to push her registration duty to a fellow disciple of the same hall to see what was happening when she saw the female cultivator at the Music and Artistic Sect quickly write something down in the registration book.
Dont tell me hes joining the Music and Artistic Hall! Liang Xiao Rou had a bad premonition. Despite her small stature, she was very quick, and with a whoosh, she arrived in front of the female cultivator from the Music and Artistic Hall. Sure enough, she saw Ye Yongs name in the Music and Artistic Halls registration book.
Why are you joining the Music and Artistic Hall? Do you know music or do you know art? I havent even started to dig out your secrets and youre already escaping. Sure, there was no rule against disciples of different halls from seeing each other, but it was definitely more inconvenient than if they were in the same hall.
A bit of both, Ye Yong said, smiling lightly. He was a man with a system, and he had just spent 50,000 transcend points to buy the upper, middle, and lower volumes of [Basic Music Mastery] and [Basic Art Mastery]. He did have more than 200,000 transcend points, so he was able to splurge a little instead of only being able to buy the upper volumes.
[Basic Music Mastery] cost 20,000 transcend points, while [Basic Art Mastery] cost 30,000 transcend points. These only contained basic knowledge. There was also advanced knowledge contained in [Dao of Music] and [Dao of Art], as well as expert knowledge contents meant for immortals. They would cost a few million transcend points, but if Ye Yong bought them all, he could be either a Music Immortal or an Art Immortal.
Plus, the basic knowledge that he currently grasped was way deeper than the basic knowledge that normal cultivators grasped.
A bit of both? Liang Xiao Rou and the others had previously investigated the basic information of some promising disciples before they went to the assessment. She knew that Ye Yong cultivated the sword and had no one near him who cultivated music or art, so she didnt believe that it was possible for Ye Yong to know either of them. I think you dont know any at all.
No, there is no one present here that knows them better than I do. Having obtained both [Basic Music Mastery] and [Basic Art Mastery], Ye Yong was confident that his knowledge of music and art was on the level of cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm. Since the senior disciples currently present were at most in the Golden Core Realm, with most of them not pursuing the Dao of Music or Art, he wasnt boasting without basis- he really did know music and art better than all of the cultivators present.
Translators Notes:
Does this sound better or does Music and Art Hall sound better? Or is there a better name?
So uh, whats the word for bragging without having the skill to back it up?
