Chapter 256: Book Pavilion!
Liu Zimo's small actions naturally couldn't escape the notice of Sun Jingjing and Liu Keming on the stage.
However, the two chose to turn a blind eye and pretend not to know when they heard the conversation between Liu Zimo and the yamen runner.
Although Liu Zimo's actions seemed a bit like bullying, it involved Liu Yun, a newly admitted genius disciple. Sun Jingjing and Liu Keming didn't want to interfere and offend Liu Yun for no reason.
Liu Yun was an exceptional water spirit root and was personally brought back to the sect by Elder Zhou.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely be accepted into the Emerald Bamboo Peak and become a true disciple of the peak.
The status of a true disciple and their future potential far surpassed that of these two inner disciples.
If their interference led to any accidents happening to Liu Yun's hometown or relatives, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Liu Zimo quietly returned to his original position.
Seeing that Sun Jingjing and Liu Keming, the two immortal masters, were pretending not to hear anything and acted as if they didn't know what he had just done, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that those who could enter the immortal sect and achieve success in their cultivation were definitely smart people.
Being convenient for others is being convenient for oneself.
It wasn't worth it to offend a promising genius disciple for such a trivial matter.
So, despite Sun Jingjing and Liu Keming looking down on him for taking the backdoor, they would definitely not disrespect Liu Yun.
A moment later.
Three minutes after the middle-aged yamen runner left.
The main gate of the Linqing County yamen in the north suddenly opened wide, and a team of horses and men rushed out and quickly left.
If nothing unexpected happened, they should be heading straight to the Liu family's stronghold.
Once they confirmed Liu Yun's true identity and learned about her spiritual root talent displayed on the Immortal Ascension Platform, the Linqing County authorities would naturally know what to do next.
Liu Zimo withdrew his gaze from the team of horses and men, knowing that from today onwards, the Liu family's fortunes had completely turned around.
At least, in the entire Linqing County, no one would dare to bully them recklessly anymore.
In this way, Liu Zimo had repaid the favor of that meal and resolved a cause and effect.
At this moment.
The Immortal Ascension Platform was silent.
The two immortal masters seemed to have entered a state of meditation, silently waiting for the arrival of the next examinee.
Liu Zimo and the other outer disciples who had already been selected all stood obediently in a corner of the platform, not daring to say a word.
Like this.
Everyone waited until evening, when the sun was setting. With a command from Sun Jingjing, Liu Keming waved his hand and put away the Spirit Measuring Immortal Stele, announcing the temporary conclusion of today's recruitment test.
Swish!
Without even looking at Liu Zimo and the others, Sun Jingjing flew away, disappearing in an instant.
Liu Keming bowed and sent her off. After Sun Jingjing had gone far, he straightened his posture, raised his head with an arrogant expression, and looked at Liu Zimo and the others, saying in a cold voice,
"You guys, come with me!"
After speaking, Liu Keming waved his right hand and took out a treasure from his storage magic treasure. Using a secret technique to activate it, the fan-like treasure instantly expanded dozens of times, almost covering the entire Immortal Ascension Platform.
The treasure floated in the air, suspended at a height of about ten meters from the Immortal Ascension Platform.
With a command from Liu Keming, the other six lucky ones who had passed the test, except for Liu Zimo, leaped onto the fan one by one.
Obviously, although these people have not formally entered the path of immortality, they have all cultivated in martial arts and possess formidable strength.
A height of over ten meters is nothing more than a simple jump for them.
"Master Immortal, I..." Liu Zimo didn't forget his current identity as an "ordinary mortal" and looked up at Liu Keming with some difficulty.
"Such a bother!" Liu Keming glanced at him and impatiently waved his hand, directly sending Liu Zimo onto the folding fan.
"Sit tight and hold on, I will take you to Qingyun Immortal Sect for registration!"
After giving the instructions, Liu Keming activated his technique, silently circulated his spiritual power, and directly activated the folding fan Law Weapon beneath his feet, instantly soaring into the sky.
The audience below saw the immortal display such a miracle and all devoutly bowed down, filled with envy.
Especially the family members and relatives of the chosen ones, each of them was filled with pride and had a radiant face.
As the saying goes, when one person becomes immortal, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Even if their children only become outer disciples after joining the immortal sect, they are still disciples of the immortal sect.
With this relationship, their family and even their village will have much better days ahead.
Liu Zimo sat comfortably on the folding fan, taking the opportunity to overlook the scenery of the mountains and rivers below.
The other six selected individuals were excited and nervous, gathering together and not daring to look down.
Obviously, this was their first time riding a flying treasure, and it was flying in the high sky thousands of meters above.
Even though they knew that they were protected by an immortal, their instinctive reaction still made them feel fearful.
Liu Keming ignored the reactions of the few people and focused on controlling the front end of the folding fan.
Perhaps because his cultivation was too low, or because he was carrying so many people at once, Liu Keming dared not be distracted in the slightest.
"The speed is a bit slow, not as fast as the airplanes on Earth!" Liu Zimo glanced lightly at Liu Keming in front of him and muttered to himself.
But this is better.
Slower speed allows him to enjoy the scenery along the way.
[Your good sister Liu Yun unexpectedly encountered a windfall, triggering the 'Heavenly Thief' innate talent, sharing the windfall equally, gaining half of the windfall amount, low-grade spirit stones +50.]

[Your good sister Liu Yun swallowed a Qi Condensation Pill, solidifying her foundation, breaking through to the Qi Condensation First Realm, triggering the 'Heavenly Thief' innate talent, sharing half of the cultivation improvement, immortal foundation +1, immortal power cultivation +3.]
[Your good sister Liu Yun unexpectedly comprehended the immortal sect technique 'Azure Water Technique', triggering the 'Heavenly Thief' innate talent, sharing half of the comprehension of the technique, Azure Water Technique +2.]
[...]
A series of notifications suddenly sounded in Liu Zimo's ears. It turned out that that girl Liu Yun had officially entered the path of immortality and successfully achieved Qi Condensation!
It seems that she is highly valued in Qingyun Immortal Sect.
Just after joining the immortal sect, she received so many rewards, and even successfully advanced one level that same night!
Spirit stones, techniques, immortal power cultivation.
Although not a lot, compared to Ouyang Xinxin's contributions, it is even a bit pitiful.
But at least it has already started on the right track.
With Liu Yun's talent and aptitude, he will definitely continuously provide Liu Zimo with a vast amount of cultivation experience in the future.
Moreover, there are people in the court who are good at being officials.
With such a talented backer in the Qingyun Immortal Sect, even if Liu Zimo is in the menial hall, he can live much more comfortably than others.
Of course.
The premise is that Liu Yun is not an ungrateful person and can still remember him, Liu Zimo, after joining the sect.
Liu Zimo calmed his mind, sat cross-legged, and silently absorbed and refined the immortal power and insights of cultivation provided by Liu Yun.
Liu Keming didn't notice anything unusual and continued to control the feather fan magic treasure attentively, striving to maintain a stable flight.
The six outer disciples beside him, however, noticed Liu Zimo's abnormal behavior, but they all sneered and showed mocking expressions.
They thought this guy who entered through the back door was just trying to please the crowd. What does a mortal like him know about cultivation?
After about ten minutes or so, the feather fan magic treasure landed in front of a towering mountain peak.
The six disciples with only average spiritual roots were sent by Liu Keming to report to the outer sect, where there were dedicated officials responsible for receiving and registering them.
As for Liu Zimo, he was directly thrown into the menial hall at the back of the mountain by Liu Keming.
However, out of consideration for Liu Yun's face, he still exchanged a few words with the official in charge of the menial hall through voice transmission.
Afterwards, the official named Tang smiled and sent Liu Keming away respectfully, then turned to look at Liu Zimo.
"At noon, Tang heard that our Cui Zhu Peak has had good luck and recruited a true disciple with a single attribute of the highest-grade water spirit root. I didn't expect it to be Brother Liu's sister!"
"I really apologize, Brother Liu!"
Tang, the official, warmly greeted Liu Zimo with a cupped hand gesture, a face full of flattery.
Liu Zimo may not know the weight of a true disciple, but after mixing in the Qingyun Immortal Sect for half his life, he couldn't be clearer.
What if he's just a mortal with average aptitude? What if he's a waste of talent?
With a true disciple as a backer, maybe in three or five years, Liu Zimo could rise up and surpass even this official of the menial hall.
In the sect, sometimes it's not just about cultivation and aptitude.
Having connections and a backer is also extremely important.
At least in this menial hall, a true disciple's relative in the menial department might not be much lower in status than this official.
"Tang, you're being too polite. Regardless of how my sister is, I am just a menial in this menial hall, a soldier under your command. If there's anything, just give me your orders!"
Liu Zimo saluted respectfully and did not show any arrogance because of Liu Yun's identity as a true disciple.
After all, he would have to rely on this official, Tang, for his livelihood in the future. Offending this direct superior would inevitably lead to trouble.
However.
When he mentioned Liu Yun, the words "sister Yun" were spoken with great affection, causing Tang, the official, to look at him with a few more cautious and wary glances.
"Hahaha, Brother Liu, you're being too polite. Once you enter this menial hall, we're all family. In the future, I'm afraid your older brother will have to rely on you, younger brother!"
Tang, the official, laughed heartily and became even more enthusiastic.
Next, he not only personally arranged a single-person dormitory for Liu Zimo, but also left him with the easiest task in the menial hall.
It can be said that this official, Tang, opened the door of convenience to the maximum within his own authority.
"Clean the book depository?"
After seeing off Tang Dashui, also known as Tang Zhi Shi, Liu Zimo sat alone in his dormitory, speaking softly to himself.
Tang Dahai, or Tang Zhi Shi, was assigned by Liu Zimo to do miscellaneous tasks, such as cleaning and organizing the book pavilion.
To say it was cleaning was just a name.
There was a dust-removal formation set up in the book pavilion, so there was no need for deliberate wiping and cleaning.
And those disciples who entered the book pavilion to search for information or cultivate techniques would not bring any unnecessary items into the book pavilion.
In general, the book pavilion was always clean as new, without a trace of dust or clutter, so there was no need for deliberate cleaning.
Therefore, Liu Zimo's daily task was actually to help the person in charge of the book pavilion tidy up the books that the borrowing disciples had placed randomly.
The workload was not much, and during his free time, he could take the opportunity to browse through the books in the book pavilion. It was definitely a good job.
"Not bad at all, just like a librarian, leisurely and without anyone disturbing."
"More importantly, according to Tang Zhi Shi, it seems that there is only one book pavilion in the entire Qingyun Immortal Sect, which is Cui Zhu Peak."
"If disciples in the sect want to consult books or techniques, they will basically choose this place."
"If I can stay in the book pavilion all the time, I can basically wait for those talented disciples in the Qingyun Immortal Sect to come to me."
Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction.
He was very pleased with Tang Dahai's arrangement.
This was much more convenient than him running around in the Qingyun Immortal Sect as a miscellaneous disciple to find those talented disciples.
At the same time.
In a dormitory in the miscellaneous hall.
A handsome young miscellaneous disciple clenched his fist in anger and looked up at Tang Dahai standing in front of him with an unwilling expression.
"Tang Zhi Shi, why did you transfer me from the book pavilion? Have I offended you in any way?!"
Tang Dahai seemed to not see the endless anger hidden in the eyes of the young miscellaneous disciple and continued to smile on his round face.
"Wu Xuan, my brother, I just told you clearly earlier that this is an arrangement from above, not me intentionally targeting you!"
"Moreover, you have been in the book pavilion for a year, according to the rules, it's time to rotate to other positions!"
Wu Xuan stared at Tang Dahai and angrily said, "You didn't say that before!"
"When I first came to the miscellaneous hall, you promised me that I could stay in the book pavilion as long as I wanted!"
"What, just a short year has passed, and you want to go back on your word?"
Tang Dahai shook his head helplessly and said to Wu Xuan with a sincere attitude, "Wu Xuan, my brother, I'm just a steward in the miscellaneous hall. If there were no orders from above, I could naturally keep you in the book pavilion."
"But now, a true disciple has given a direct order, and I am also helpless!"
"In that case, you can choose any other position besides the book pavilion. If you have your eye on a certain position, my brother will arrange it for you immediately!"
True disciple?!
Wu Xuan was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized in his heart.
No wonder Tang Dahai changed his attitude so quickly. It turned out that a true disciple had intervened.
However, when did true disciples become so free that they started to get involved in the affairs of the miscellaneous hall?
Could it be that this Tang Dahai was deceiving people here with a false decree?
