Chapter 2367
"The mortal-shedding procedure is complete. Come, have a cup of tea," Yan Aohan said, pointing to the tea already poured beside him.
Zhu Yanyi did not hesitate. She walked over, picked up the cup, and looked around. Her gaze finally landed on the Immortal Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you didn't come here just to welcome me, did you?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Ouyang Mingyue. She felt her appearance must have a reason.
Ouyang Mingyue nodded with a smile. "You are now an immortal. Your cultivation will take place in the Immortal Realm. However, since you follow the path of medicine, your cultivation differs from others. Therefore, your destination will also be different."
"How is it different?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
"Let me put it this way. It is like the difference between Eastern and Western cultures in the mortal realm. Most cultivators focus on their power. But you follow the path of medicine, so you cultivate your true heart. Thus, your place should be centered on that." Ouyang Mingyue explained seriously.
"Just say it directly," Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. She felt it was better for her to be direct, so she wouldn't be confused.
Ouyang Mingyue took a sip of tea. "I will tell you directly, of course."
She then picked up a mung bean cake, took a bite, and swallowed it slowly. "The Immortal Realm is not static. To facilitate management, I have made some changes in recent years. For example, sword cultivators and blade cultivators, who have high combat power, are generally placed in a specific area unless they belong to a designated sect. Others, such as sound cultivators or painting cultivators, have their own areas. Similarly, medical and alchemy cultivators are in another region. Of course, these areas are not exclusively for those types; others are present too. I divided the regions for management convenience, not to force people to stay there. However, I suggest you go to the medical and alchemy area."
Zhu Yanyi understood Ouyang Mingyue's meaning. Going there was like a student going for further study. Her medical skills were supreme in the mortal realm, but she did not know her level there.
"Additionally, I have also changed the ranking of immortals for convenience. They are generally divided into Heavenly Immortal, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Saint, Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Venerable. After reaching the peak of Immortal Venerable, one can ascend to become a god. Each stage is divided into early, middle, late, and peak levels. Most people who ascend from below start as Heavenly Immortals. However, your cultivation was suppressed too deeply, so you have already entered the middle stage of Earth Immortal. You are absolutely a monster in the Immortal Realm."
Ouyang Mingyue truly did not expect Zhu Yanyi to start at the middle stage of Earth Immortal. She thought her cultivation was not low, but reaching the late stage of Human Immortal would be enough. She never expected it to be so surprising.
"What do you mean I am a monster? You are the monster," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Ouyang Mingyue with dissatisfaction.
Ouyang Mingyue coughed. "Well, Zhu Yanyi, you should at least be polite to me. You are on my territory now."
"Are you going to abuse your power for personal gain?" Zhu Yanyi said, implying, 'If you dare, say it in front of my husband.'
Yan Aohan spoke slowly from the side. "So you wanted to bully my wife? In that case, how could I dare to entrust her care to you? How can I feel safe going to the Chaos Abyss? If I don't go, and problems arise at the Gathering of Gods, that is not my responsibility."
"Oh, stop it. You two just like to bully me. Let me talk about something else," Ouyang Mingyue said quickly.
"In general, my Immortal Realm is divided into five areas. Their names are the Dongji Area, the Nanhua Area, the Xifeng Area, the Beita Area, and the Zhongrui Area."
Ouyang Mingyue continued to introduce the Immortal Realm. "All medical and alchemy cultivators are in the Xifeng Area. That place has abundant agricultural products, so medicinal herbs are naturally plentiful. Therefore, medical and alchemy cultivators are usually there."
"Oh." Zhu Yanyi carefully remembered everything Ouyang Mingyue said. Indeed, a place with abundant medicinal herbs was very important for a medical and alchemy cultivator.
"Additionally, although this is the Immortal Realm, life here is not much different from the mortal world. This is also a change I made. Here, every immortal has a profession besides cultivation," Ouyang Mingyue said with a grin. "This is one of my proudest achievements."
Zhu Yanyi thought this must be something Ouyang Mingyue did out of boredom, but she was also curious. "What professions?"
Ouyang Mingyue said seriously. "All kinds of professions. Hunters, blacksmiths, assassins, tailors, bandits, thieves, farmers, workers, bodyguards, mercenaries, and so on. There are three hundred and sixty trades. As long as you can name it, it exists."
"Bandits and thieves are professions?" Zhu Yanyi felt she had entered a strange fantasy world. If so, did the immortals here have any sense of right and wrong?
Ouyang Mingyue coughed and handed her a document. "All professions are listed here. You can look at it. Since you are going to the Xifeng Area, the first thing you need to do is register your profession."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Ouyang Mingyue, then took the document. "Is there more? Tell me everything at once. I think my heart can handle it, so just say it." She just wanted to know how far Ouyang Mingyue had gone.
Ouyang Mingyue coughed again. "Of course, there is more. Because there are many professions, I added various rules. For example, bandits can only rob wealth, not kill people. Assassins can only kill the target for money, not other family members. Thieves cannot steal from the same target twice. If they steal from a home, they cannot visit that home again. Otherwise, there will be heavenly punishment. Other professions also have restrictions. You can see the details in the document I gave you."
Ouyang Mingyue continued. "Additionally, everyone here can create their own sect. As long as you don't mind the hassle, you can do whatever you want. However, within fifty years of creating a sect, you must participate in the Heavenly Fortune Competition once. If you do not participate, the sect will be automatically canceled. Of course, those without a sect are loose cultivators. It is harder for loose cultivators to obtain resources. For example, in some secret realms, sects have more people, so loose cultivators cannot compete with them."
