Daily life of a cultivation judge-Chapter 946: Two places

The risks outside were still there, but he felt they would be less than Ma Ling would face when she joined the Order. Though he felt slightly guilty about it, borrowing Ma Ling’s sympathy for his current state, at least out there he would be assured she wouldn’t leave his side.

Out there they would have no one else to rely on but each other, and with Ma Yuan’s crippled cultivation base, he believed Ma Ling no matter what ambitions on desires she had, she would not easily leave his side in the state he was in. At least for as long as he did, it was a guarantee that she would always be near him looking after him as much as he was looking after her.

But if they joined the Order, then she wouldn’t have to do all that as the Order could ensure his safety freeing her to do whatever she pleased which would no doubt mean throwing herself to the frontlines of whatever chaos the Order assigned to her.

It was selfish of him to use his condition, but it had to be done, at least until he passed on

"And do you have thoughts on where you would like to go?" asked Yang Qing.

"No, not yet," Ma Yuan answered with a bitter smile.

In his early life he lived as a vagabond moving from place to place which rendered it difficult to build any connections or relationships. He didn’t stay long to know the places so well or establish roots, and when he and his wife became a family, that aspect didn’t change as they moved from place to place every few years.

The place he stayed the longest was the Rapid Twin Valley, which was the place where they were attacked. With the memories attached to that place especially the last one, it was the last place he ever wanted to back to. The same applied to the other places they lived at.

If he wanted a fresh start it would have to be some place he had never been to, and with how dangerous the world was, he couldn’t choose the place lightly.

"I have two places you could try,"

Even though he expected it, Ma Yuan couldn’t help but light up at Yang Qing’s remark.

"Please enlighten me," Ma Yuan said in excitement.

"One of the places is Summerfield Kingdom, which you have likely heard of."

Ma Yuan nodded in agreement. As a herbologist, he would have been the biggest ignoramus if he didn’t know of a kingdom that had built its bones in herbology. He had thought of visiting the place at some point in his life, but with how complicated his life was, the timing was never right.

"The reason why I believe Summerfield Kingdom would be a good fit, one of the reasons, it goes without saying is their ply of trade. With your skills, you would thrive there, and maybe even learn a few things from them. You won’t lose out one bit, and they will likely appreciate you and your talents, making your integration smoother.

One of the other reasons is that their current king happens to be a close acquaintance of one of our instructors, and I also happen to have some friendship with their crown prince. A referral from us, will guarantee that they will treat you better.

The next reason is its strength and location. I feel soon enough they are likely to produce a palace realm expert," Yang Qing said as he recalled the strange farm he saw, and the missing former king who got kicked out when he went to the Spiritual Temperance Sect for a little bit of guidance on reaching the palace realm.

"While a palace realm expert doesn’t guarantee protection against all dangers, it is a decent deterrence, and when it comes to location, the Summerfield Kingdom is in the territory of the Spiritual Temperance Sect, which is also an added layer of protection. With them around even a domain expert would have to be careful," Yang Qing meaningfully said which drew a contemplative look from Ma Yuan.

Outwardly the Spiritual Temperance Sect was known to be a rank three sect, but according to the internal reports the Order had of the place, the sect is likely to have already produced a domain expert, and not one at that.

"But aren’t they ascetics who never concern themselves with anything outside their sect grounds?"

"They are, but something recently happened within their territory, which made us force their hands into action, which also brings me to my final reason of why Summerfield Kingdom. the final reason is at some time in the future the Order will be building a branch there,"

"Really?" Ma Yuan asked with a gladdened expression.

"Yes, really. However, it will be some time before it is built and running. There are still certain logistics to handle, but there will be a branch there,"

"Good, good, that is good," Ma Yuan said as he sighed. To him, the presence of the Order made him more at ease than even the Spiritual Temperance Sect. Even if the branch lacked a domain expert, he would still be much more at ease with them than the Spiritual Temperance Sect.

Even though he felt he already had his destination set, he couldn’t help but feel curious about the second place.

Yang Qing as if reading his thoughts smiled slightly as he said,

"The second place is the White Baobab Kingdom."

Ma Yuan couldn’t help but raise his brows in confusion. Try as he may he had never heard of the place. Then again there were countless places and things he had never heard of. After all, the first 200 years of his life, he spent it all sequestered in some ruin embarking on his cultivation journey and for those 200 years he never took a single step out, and when he did, he welcomed a life on the run which didn’t give too much time to fill up the knowledge gaps he had.

He could bet that there were countless foundation establishment cultivators out there who knew more than him.

Seeing his confusion, Yang Qing introduced a bit about the kingdom, mostly focusing on its uniqueness as being the kingdom of food.

"But I am no cook?" Ma Yuan asked, still looking as confused as he was even before the introduction.

"You don’t have to be a cook to settle there," Yang Qing said as he laughed a little, his gaze wandering to some of the herbs Ma Yuan had introduced to the place.

"You may not be one, but you have something they need," Yang Qing said.

It wasn’t hard for Ma Yuan to connect the dots, especially when he saw where Yang Qing’s eyes were looking at.

"They will pay you well, and with your hunger, there is no better place to meet the demands of your body than there, and just like Summerfield Kingdom, the White Baobab Kingdom will soon produce a palace realm expert, their king, who also happens to be a very close friend of mine.

While the Summerfield Kingdom will likely not mistreat you, but when it comes to the White Baobab Kingdom, I can guarantee it with my life that they won’t.

Once accepted, every person there, including the king will accept you and your daughter as one of their own. You will not feel like an outsider there and it has a less restrained nature."
