Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: Fellow Villager

Looking in the direction where Director Chunjin’s back vanished, this Deacon of the Third Palace Qingmu Department lingered bewildered for a long time.

Helping Jing Yan sign up for the Fourth Palace advancement assessment?

A sudden gleam sparkled in the Deacon’s eyes.

The news quickly spread within the Third Palace Qingmu Department, followed by an atmosphere of joyous celebration.

Since the Chief went to the Assessment Department to help Jing Yan apply for the Fourth Palace advancement assessment, it indicated that Jing Yan had met the registration conditions. Given Jing Yan’s immense strength, it’s almost certain that as long as he participates in the advancement assessment, he will pass.

They were naturally filled with joy. With Jing Yan participating in the advancement assessment so swiftly, their Third Palace Qingmu Department could earn surprising rewards, just like the First Palace and Second Palace, with another Divine Spring Hall.

At this moment, Jing Yan was seated cross-legged inside his house, resting with his eyes closed.

"Hmm?" His mind stirred slightly.

Jing Yan took out the Communication Crystal Stone; it was a message from Gong Luo, the Director of First Palace’s Qingmu Department.

"Jing Yan, the matters you asked the Personnel Department to investigate have results. Come to the First Palace at a convenient time," Gong Luo’s message read.

Jing Yan’s eyes flickered, and then he stood up, walked out of the house, and rapidly headed towards the main gate of the Third Palace Qingmu Department manor.

This time, many people greeted Jing Yan with smiles as he walked, some even with a flattering expression.

The change in attitude was very noticeable. Jing Yan knew that these people must have heard about him signing up for the Fourth Palace advancement assessment, which prompted the courteous attitude towards him.

With a light sigh, Jing Yan kept returning greetings with clasped hands as he quickly passed through, not bothering to entangle with them much.

Leaving the Third Palace Qingmu Department manor, Jing Yan flew swiftly to the transmission point leading to the Second Palace. Upon entering the transmission point, in the blink of an eye, Jing Yan appeared at the Second Palace.

A Martial Artist holding the Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s Third Palace Identity Token can freely teleport between the First Palace, Second Palace, and Third Palace.

After identifying the direction, Jing Yan flew quickly again.

Outside the First Palace Qingmu Department manor.

"Lord Jing Yan?" The guard at the gate was taken aback upon seeing Jing Yan, then loudly shouted.

Jing Yan smiled and clasped his hands towards the guard, saying, "I need to see Director Gong Luo. Please inform him for me."

Now, he was no longer a member of First Palace’s Qingmu Department, so it wasn’t appropriate to directly enter the First Palace’s Qingmu Department manor. Although the Qingmu Departments across the palaces form a system, they operate relatively independently.

"I’ll report right away." The guard excitedly rushed into the manor.

Without waiting long, Gong Luo emerged from within the manor. Following Gong Luo were four Deacons and numerous members of First Palace’s Qingmu Department. Everyone had heard of Jing Yan’s arrival, and they all wanted to come out and meet him.

Although Jing Yan was already at the Seven-star Void God Realm and a member of the Third Palace’s Qingmu Department, he was still quite warm and casual towards these people.

"Director Gong Luo, you sent a message saying the Personnel Department found some information?"

After exchanging pleasantries with many members of the First Palace Qingmu Department, Jing Yan then asked Director Gong Luo.

"Yes, the information has been found. Jing Yan, I’ll take you to the Personnel Department to meet Elder Bao Tong," Gong Luo said with a wave of his hand.

"Alright." Jing Yan nodded.

In the Personnel Department of the First Palace, Jing Yan and Gong Luo met Elder Bao Tong. Bao Tong asked them to sit down first and then had people bring several cups of tea.

"Jing Yan, I’m truly sorry; the amount of data is immense, which is why it took so long to find," Bao Tong said to Jing Yan with utmost politeness.

Now, Jing Yan was a member of the Third Palace’s Qingmu Department, whose status was not much lower than theirs. The position of the Third Palace’s members may not be as high as that of the Ninety-nine Departments Directors of the First Palace, but it’s not too far off. Furthermore, Jing Yan, being a Third Palace Qingmu Department member under two hundred years old, has limitless potential.

Even the Assessment Department Director, a True God Warrior, had no airs in front of Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s standing in the Luo Jiu Divine Palace was indeed already very high. Maybe Jing Yan himself hadn’t realized this yet, but others genuinely felt it in their hearts.

"Elder Bao Tong, you’re too kind. In fact, I should be grateful that you helped with this," Jing Yan quickly responded.

Bao Tong smiled and waved his hand, feeling relieved to see Jing Yan without any sign of displeasure. Truthfully, he had been worried that Jing Yan might be upset due to the prolonged delay.

"Jing Yan, you came to Luo Jiu Divine Palace from the four-three-four-three spatial node. Your homeland is the one-three-nine-nine Low-class World connected to this node," Bao Tong slowly spoke.

"Over the past two years, I’ve meticulously instructed people to search for corresponding data. But due to the sheer amount of data, I first asked them to search for Martial Artists from your home world in Low-class World who have already advanced from the First Palace. In about half a year, the data was searched thoroughly, but no findings were made."

"Next, we began searching for records of members who did not advance in the First Palace. After nearly two years of searching, we finally discovered two individuals from your home Low-class World who passed the selection assessment and became members of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace," Bao Tong explained slowly.

At this moment, Jing Yan’s breath stirred slightly.

Indeed, there were Martial Artists from the same Low-class World as himself, and there were two of them.

Jing Yan’s eyes shone as he looked at Bao Tong.

"However, one of these two has already died. This person died in the military after joining the Divine Palace’s army," Bao Tong continued, "and the other one is still alive, residing within our First Palace. This person is named Bi Fang, and he has been a member of the First Palace for over twenty thousand years."

One person dead, only one still alive?

Jing Yan couldn’t help feeling a bit sentimental, but having one person alive was better than none.

"Elder Bao Tong, can we find out where this Bi Fang is currently?" Jing Yan quickly asked.

"It’s possible to find out. Every time these Martial Artists collect basic resource rewards at Wanbao Hall, they need to report and confirm with the Personnel Department," Bao Tong nodded, "This Bi Fang should currently be working at the Jade Bay Medicine Field."

"Jade Bay Medicine Field?" Jing Yan slightly frowned, "Where is this Medicine Field located?"

Jing Yan had been at Luo Jiu Divine Palace for less than three years in total, and it was his first time hearing of the Jade Bay Medicine Field; he was completely unaware of its location.

"The Jade Bay Medicine Field is not too far from here. Jing Yan, do you want to go see Bi Fang yourself? There’s no need to go personally; I can send someone to Jade Bay Medicine Field to invite Bi Fang to meet you," Elder Bao Tong proposed to Jing Yan.

"I’d rather go see for myself. After all, he’s from the same Low-class World as me. Having spent more than twenty thousand years at Luo Jiu Divine Palace without advancing to the Second Palace must have been tough," Jing Yan shook his head and replied.
