Haiyan City is not big. Even two hundred years ago, it was just a small county town near the capital.
It is neither a transportation hub nor a famous industry. The former Haiyan County had low and dilapidated city walls and desolate and deserted streets.
It was not until two hundred years ago, when the Queen ascended the throne and set about building the Heavenly Book Pavilion, that Haiyan City gradually changed its appearance.
Today, the Haiyan City has tall and majestic city walls and bustling streets and alleys, no longer the dilapidated and desolate it once was.
Two hundred years ago, the old city area was squeezed into a corner in the southeast by newly built mansions and houses. It was almost forgotten and only the poorest and most destitute people in the city lived there.
The establishment of the Heavenly Book Pavilion has made this once remote small county town suddenly become a nationally famous holy place, and it has become prosperous and bustling with a thriving economy.
But these have nothing to do with the former civilians.
During the construction of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, the bigwigs from outside expanded the city and seized all the benefits.
The commoner families two hundred years ago are still commoner families two hundred years later and have not become wealthy due to the rapid development of cities.
It even seems to have become poorer.
But these had nothing to do with Luo Jing. Although he lived in the most dilapidated southeast corner of Haiyan City, he had a very good and leisurely job - doing odd jobs in the Tianshu Pavilion.
The job was so honorable that the guys at the dental clinic were extremely puzzled by Luo Jing's choice.
In the opinion of the guys, Luo Jing should buy a small house with a separate entrance, go to the brothel often to listen to music, and enjoy a leisurely life. He should not hang out in this shabby slum.
But Luo Jing chose to live in this slum simply because it was close to the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
The small courtyards with separate entrances and exits that the dental shop clerk mentioned were too far away from the Heavenly Book Pavilion, while those that were closer were large mansions that Luo Jing could not afford.
Although the house where Luo Jing lived was a little shabby, the small courtyards with independent entrances and exits that the clerks in the pawnshop knew of had no appeal to Luo Jing.
He came from a world with abundant material resources where common people had no worries about food and drink. Although he was just a commoner in his previous life, the material life he enjoyed was incomparable to that of the landlords in this world.
The happy life in the eyes of the common people in this world is just so-so in Luo Jing's eyes and has no appeal at all.
Besides, living alone, it doesn't matter if he's a little sloppy. Luo Jing doesn't plan to stay in Haiyan City for long.
He just wanted to comprehend the introductory chapter of "The Magic of Immortal Path" as quickly as possible and transform his magic power into immortal qi.
The so-called private house is just a bigger and deserted room.
Luo Jing was more concerned about when he could see Qingxuan again.
Ever since meeting Qingxuan on the night of September 27, Luo Jing could no longer sense Qingxuan's presence.
His practice reached a bottleneck.
He was unable to decipher the "Immortal Path Magic", and lacked the method of cultivation after the God Summoning Realm.
So Luo Jing had to focus all his energy on "Refining the Demon Blood Sword", guiding his spiritual power to temper the blood sword every day, and practicing the six sword techniques in the Taixu Fairyland.
Although Jie Yin Yue Hua's cultivation abilities could be practiced faster, Luo Jing was in Haiyan City at that time, so how could he dare to practice magic openly
Hiding in Taixu Fairyland and practicing silently was already a big risk for him.
The Heavenly Book Pavilion is the most mysterious and important hub in the Divine Dynasty. Not only does it house all the books in the world, the Heavenly Book Pavilion itself is also a great place for spiritual practice.
The many scholars in the library are all practitioners with strong cultivation.
Luo Jing was in the middle of it, keeping a low profile, going to work and cleaning on time every day.
He only needs to clean the floor, and there is someone else to do the organization of the books.
The Heavenly Book Pavilion is a hundred feet high and towers into the clouds. It would have been a rare skyscraper in the previous life.
In this world, it is definitely a wonder.
It is said that when the empress was building the Heavenly Book Pavilion, she encountered many obstacles. Although it was finally built, the position of the Heavenly Book Pavilion in the court was quite embarrassing.
Although there are many practitioners in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, they are extremely marginal and rarely get involved in court affairs. Their presence is far less than that of the three major holy places.
Luo Jing cleans the Heavenly Book Pavilion every day, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. He can read books freely at other times.
The vast collection of books in the Heavenly Book Pavilion finally made Luo Jing's deciphering progress better.
Luo Jing gradually understood many of the professional terms mentioned in "The Immortal's Way of Magic".
Although without Qingxuan's help, Luo Jing still managed to decipher part of the content on his own.
The other people in the Heavenly Book Pavilion also gradually got used to this new errand boy who was taciturn, seldom sociable, but honest and worked diligently every day.
The Heavenly Book Pavilion is open to everyone, and many visitors from all over the world enter every day. As long as they pass the inspection at the gate and are confirmed not to be a demon cultivator, anyone can enter the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
The Heavenly Book Pavilion itself also has many servants, scholars, and practitioners.
Among these diverse crowds, the honest and inconspicuous Luo Jing is like a drop of water merging into the ocean, and no one pays special attention to him.
Even the scholar named Jiang Muyun forgot to meet Luo Jing after returning to the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Although Mr. Canglan is well-known in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, Luo Jing is just a lucky guy who got the recommendation letter from the Mr. Canglan by chance. He came here to get a job and has nothing to do with the Mr. Canglan himself.
Even the scholar who received Luo Jing that day forgot that he had personally brought Luo Jing in when he saw Luo Jing again later.
Luo Jing, a demon cultivator from the Western Region Demon Sect, lurked perfectly in the Heavenly Book Pavilion without causing any disturbance.
In addition to cleaning every day, he would look through different books in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, looking for relevant information in the vast collection and deciphering the contents of "The Immortal's Way of Magic".
His life went on peacefully like this.
Occasionally, one could hear people discussing the situation in the Western Regions in the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
But those have nothing to do with Luo Jing.
Although several times, he heard his own name.
—The first inner disciple to defect from the Soul Refining Sect in thousands of years. This label is enough to remove him from the list.
The name "Luo Jing" has become somewhat famous in the Western Regions in the past six months, and wanted posters are posted everywhere.
So much so that occasionally one could hear people talking about it in the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
People were all curious about what kind of ability this disciple had that allowed him to escape from the Soul Refining Sect and be hunted down by the entire Soul Refining Sect.
Only Luo Jing himself knew that the reason why he was hunted by the Soul Refining Sect was that he was inadvertently involved in the fight between the sect leader and other factions.
And the grudges of the descendants of the demons...
These things are the main reasons why Luo Jing is wanted and hunted.
As for himself, he is still a nobody.
