Chapter 46 : Which One is That - Heavenly Luo Sect

After the Elder of the Hall of Enforcement finished explaining the rules of the sect, it was time for the various halls to recruit new disciples. Bai Song, as an inner disciple of the Sword Pavilion, naturally came to attract new recruits. He demonstrated a set of Earth-Grade sword techniques, which was quite impressive as a crystallization cultivator who had achieved a small amount of proficiency in them, earning him a lot of attention.

The other inner disciples of the halls also showed their prowess, livening up the atmosphere.

"Which hall do you plan to join?" Qin Shi Meng noticed that Ye Yong's gaze was not on the Sword Pavilion, but was looking around for something, curious.

"The Hall of Music and Painting." Ye Yong looked around and did not see anyone from the Hall of Music and Painting.

"The Hall of Music and Painting?" Qin Shi Meng was even more puzzled. She remembered that Ye Yong was also a sword cultivator like her. When they were engaged, the people of the Great Zhou Empire said that they were a pair of immortal companions who could combine their swords in the future.

It was clear from the name that the Hall of Music and Painting was focused on studying music and painting, not sword cultivation. It was not that Qin Shi Meng looked down on music and painting, but that they were too difficult to practice, and belonged to a niche field that not many people would choose.

"Can you tell me why?" As a friend, Qin Shi Meng felt that she should understand the reasons clearly and advise Ye Yong not to waste his precious time by venturing into an unfamiliar field.

"Because I like it," Ye Yong knew that Qin Shi Meng was considering him, but he was also considering himself.

"Okay..." With just one word, "like," Qin Shi Meng's words were all dispelled. She couldn't stop Ye Yong from choosing what he liked.

"I will choose the Sword Pavilion." Qin Shi Meng had been practicing swordsmanship for ten years, and she could not switch to studying music and painting like Ye Yong.

"It suits you." Ye Yong did not try to persuade Qin Shi Meng to join him in the Hall of Music and Painting, because she would have opportunities in the Sword Pavilion. Ye Yong did not dare to change too many details, to avoid the future diverging too much from the novel he had read.

Qin Shi Meng and her personal maid went to the Sword Pavilion, and Liang Xiao Rou was responsible for registering the female disciples. With a single glance, she scared off the male cultivators who wanted to get close to Qin Shi Meng.

Not to mention that Liang Xiao Rou had reached the eighth level of the Crystal stage in her cultivation, even if she had not, her father, who was in the late stage of the Void Reversion, was there. Who would dare show disrespect to her?

"Liang Senior Sister, can you tell me where the Hall of Music and Painting is?" Seeing that Ye Yong was still looking for the Hall of Music and Painting, Qin Shi Meng asked for him.

"The Hall of Music and Painting? It's in that corner. Because there haven't been many people joining it in past generations, the hall master just randomly picks a disciple to deal with it. Are you interested?" Liang Xiao Rou was also interested in the Hall of Music and Painting, but unfortunately, she only knew how to listen to music, not play it. Otherwise, she might have joined the Hall of Music and Painting back then.

After registering their basic information, Qin Shi Meng returned to Ye Yong and told him where the Hall of Music and Painting was.

"Thank you." Ye Yong had wanted to ask someone, but everyone around him was a new disciple and couldn't possibly know. Liang Xiao Rou was also there, looking at him from time to time. If he asked other senior brothers or sisters, she would definitely come over and make trouble.

In the novel, the protagonist did not mention the Hall of Music and Painting when he joined the Sword Pavilion, so this was a detail that Ye Yong had to find out for himself. In the real world, details make up the whole, so Ye Yong had to go and find out for himself. Now that Qin Shi Meng had told him, he saved himself time.

While Liang Xiao Rou was busy registering the female disciples, Ye Yong went to the corner where the Hall of Music and Painting was located.

There was a young female cultivator reading a book. Compared to the other halls, the Hall of Music and Painting seemed to have no intention of recruiting new disciples.

The female cultivator was pretty, with fair skin and long hair falling over her shoulders. She was reading the book very seriously.

"Hello, Senior Sister." Ye Yong called out.

The female cultivator looked up and saw Ye Yong, who was handsome, and quickly put away her book, revealing a smile. "What's up, little junior brother? Are you lost?"

"No, I want to join the Music and Painting Hall."

"Oh, the Music and Painting Hall, let me think...hmm? Wait! Join the Music and Painting Hall?" The female cultivator widened her eyes, as if she had heard some incredible news. "Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"What about you junior sister?" The female cultivator looked at Qin Shi Meng. Qin Shi Meng shook her head. "I have joined the Sword Pavilion."

Although she was somewhat disappointed, it was rare to have a new disciple who wanted to join the Music and Painting Hall, and he was also a handsome young man. The female cultivator was already very satisfied, and she quickly took out the registration book. "What is your name? What is your cultivation level? What level of Qi refining have you achieved?"

"My name is Ye Yong..."

Ye Yong only said his name, but the female cultivator exclaimed, "It's you! You're Ye Yong! The Ye Yong!"

"Although I don't know which Ye Yong you're talking about, it should be me."

"Ye Yong? The Ye Yong who achieved seven color foundation?" Because of the female cultivator's exclamation, the attention of the senior brothers and sisters from other halls was drawn to them.

The news that Ye Yong had achieved seven color foundation had long since spread throughout the entire Da Zhou Empire and even the Eastern Province. Seven levels of Qi refining had not appeared in the Eastern Province for more than a hundred years. When Ye Yong took the flying ship to Heavenly Luo Sect, his name had already been known in both the cultivator world and the secular world.

When Liang Xiao Rou heard the commotion, she frowned involuntarily. "Why did that guy go to the Music and Painting Hall?"

She had just been about to delegate the registration work to her fellow disciples, but when she went over to investigate, the female cultivator from the Music and Painting Hall had already written something down on the registration book at lightning speed.

"Don't tell me he wants to join the Music and Painting Hall!" Liang Xiao Rou had a bad feeling. Although she was petite, she was very fast. With a swoosh, she arrived next to the female cultivator.

Sure enough, she saw Ye Yong's name on the registration book of the Music and Painting Hall.

"Why do you want to join the Music and Painting Hall? Do you understand music or painting?" Liang Xiao Rou hadn't even started to pry into Ye Yong's secrets when he slipped away.

It wasn't that the disciples of the Sword Pavilion couldn't go to the Music and Painting Hall to find people, but it definitely wasn't as convenient as being in the same hall.

"I understand both." Ye Yong smiled slightly.

He was a systematic man. He had already spent 50,000 Transcend Points in the system store to purchase the entire series of "Comprehensive Music Theory" and "Comprehensive Painting Theory" in their upper, middle and lower levels. He now had more than 200,000 Transcend Points, so he no longer had to buy only the first volume like he did before.

"Comprehensive Music Theory" cost 20,000, while "Comprehensive Painting Theory" was more expensive at 30,000. These were considered "basic" content, and there were also "advanced" content such as "Music and Tao" and "Tao of Painting," and even "advanced" knowledge related to becoming an immortal. To buy and master the entire series would require several million Transcend Points, but if Ye Yong bought and mastered them all, he would be considered a music immortal or a painting immortal.

The "basic" content he now mastered was already more profound than that of ordinary cultivators.

"You understand both?" Liang Xiao Rou and the others had investigated the basic information of some promising disciples before going to assess them. Ye Yong was clearly a sword cultivator, and there was no one around him who was studying music or painting. How could he possibly understand both? "I think you don't understand anything at all."

"No one here understands more than me."

Having mastered the entire series of "Comprehensive Music Theory" and "Comprehensive Painting Theory," Ye Yong was confident that his current professional knowledge was no less than that of a Nascent Soul stage music cultivator or painting cultivator.

The senior brothers and sisters present were at most at the Golden Core stage and did not study music or painting. So Ye Yong wasn't bragging. He really understood more than anyone else in the room.
