*If it were him, perhaps he would have paused to consider the impact and etiquette.*
But with Lei Jun’s current cultivation and status, whether or not he attended such a law conference depended entirely on his own interest.
If he went, it was a rare spectacle since the founding of the event.
If he did not go, it was the attendees’ regret, not his own.
"Baobao, co here."
Lei Jun called for his eldest disciple, giving no extra instructions, only noting that although the law conference was being held at White Horse Mountain near Luoyang, it was still outside the city. Normally, under the emperor’s feet, nobody dared take audacious risks, but any outing demanded caution and attention to personal safety.
Zhuo Baojie nodded solemnly.
With his master uncle, master, and third master uncle’s three layers of instruction both in words and actions, Gungun was always cautious in his day-to-day conduct.
Except, of course, when he was occasionally greedy for food...
"Take these," Lei Jun gave his Breathing Soil Banner to his eldest disciple, and even quietly added the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat.
To Lei Jun, it was a risk-free, moderately good lot; for Zhuo Baojie, with Middle Three Heavens cultivation, it might not be the sa.
Since he had sent his disciple off to pursue another moderately good lot, Lei Jun naturally prepared accordingly.
Though White Horse Mountain was within his flying swords’ range, and in true ergency Lei Jun could protect his disciple,
This was, after all, under the empress’s gaze, so Elder Lei preferred to keep his secrets a while longer.
After watching Zhuo Baojie leave with Lin Shan, Lei Jun himself set out for Hui Tian Hall.
Even within Luoyang City, Hui Tian Hall was divided into main and branch halls.
The branch hall was open to the public all year round, with a steady flow of people coming and going.
The main hall, however, was generally closed to outsiders.
But those involved had received instructions from Yu Cheng long before, so when Lei Jun arrived, soone escorted him inside.
In the front hall, a slender, refined-looking man appearing to be about forty years old waited with a smile.
When Lei Jun entered, the man stood to greet him, "Master Lei, welco, welco."
"Master Yu, I am disturbing you," Lei Jun saluted Daoist style.
After both parties were seated and had exchanged a few pleasantries, Lei Jun produced an item and handed it to Hui Tian Hall’s Hall Master, Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng accepted it solemnly, glanced at it, then let out a long breath, "Thank you, Master Lei!"
Lei Jun said, "Master Yu, you are too kind, I simply acquired this prescription by a stroke of fortune."
Yu Cheng gently shook his head, "The Heavenly Net Powder prescription was created by my grandmaster years ago, but sadly lost in an accident. My own master has tried to reconstruct it in recent years, yet still hoped to retrieve the scattered ancient formula to comfort our grandmaster’s spirit.
Now that it has finally co together, we must certainly thank Master Lei and Dragon Tiger Mountain. It’s unfortunate my master has been wandering about for years and has not returned to the capital. Otherwise, he would surely be delighted this mont."
The partial recipe for Heavenly Net Powder was one Lei Jun obtained years ago in the Celestial Book Universe through a transaction with Age Star Mu Yao, who was Future Maitreya.
At the ti, he also acquired the lost partial prescription for the Heavenly Primordial Qingjing Pill belonging to Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, and the Cold Light Pill recipe from Mount Shu sect’s sacred land of the External Alchemy School.
The True One Altar and Celestial Master Seal had shown special changes previously, when resonating with Lei Jun’s spiritual soul, allowing him to use the first layer of the True One Altar to deduce broken pill and dicine recipes.
Besides reconstructing his own Heavenly Primordial Qingjing Pill, Lei Jun also succeeded in restoring Mount Shu Sect’s Cold Light Pill and the Martial Tao healer version of the Heavenly Net Powder.
Earlier, when Zhang Taigang took leadership of Mount Shu, Lei Jun visited with Celestial Master Mansion’s formal congratulations.
One of the gifts was the Cold Light Pill recipe, which greatly pleased Zhang Taigang, Ji Chuan, Ji Dongquan, and the others.
Now, visiting Hui Tian Hall in the capital, Lei Jun provided the Heavenly Net Powder recipe to Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng had founded Hui Tian Hall, and his own master was dicine King Sun Mingjing, one of the most accomplished figures in the lineage of Great Tang physicians.
Sun Mingjing was advanced in years, but still traveled widely each year, searching for new dicinal herbs, and all the while healing the world, offering treatnt regardless of status.
Even common folk sotis received a personal diagnosis from the dicine King himself.
Thus, in the Great Tang mortal realm, dicine King Sun Mingjing’s reputation was exceedingly high.
Lei Jun said, "I have long admired your master’s character. It’s unfortunate that I missed the chance to et him today. Though I regret it, I believe there will be opportunities in the future."
Yu Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Master Lei, if you have ti, you may as well remain in Luoyang a little longer. My master has been away quite a few years, but by his usual habits, he should return to the capital again soon."
Lei Jun said, "I am not certain how long I’ll stay in the capital, but if I could wait here for dicine King’s return, that would be ideal."
Compared with Ye Cheng, Chu Lin, Fang Hezhou, Shangguan Qing, Lu Zhen, and the others, this ti, Lei Jun’s dealings with Yu Cheng were much deeper.
He was not acting only for himself, but on behalf of Celestial Master Mansion to cooperate with Yu Cheng’s Hui Tian Hall.
Their exchange included all kinds of heavenly materials and treasures as dicine ingredients, and also cultivated an ongoing relationship for dan dicine trades.
Celestial Master Mansion, as the ancestral court and mountain of the Taoist Talisman Sect, practiced talisman crafting, alchemy, and artifact refining alike.
Lei Jun’s master, Yuan Moba, was presently Celestial Master Mansion’s top alchemist.
Yu Cheng greatly respected him.
This ti, with Lei Jun gifting the Heavenly Net Powder recipe, even though dicine King Sun Mingjing had already restored it, obtaining the ancient formula still counted as a favor from Lei Jun and Celestial Master Mansion.
Thus, both sides had a smooth discussion, and Hui Tian Hall showed Lei Jun much preferential treatnt in response.
Lei Jun, in these years learning alchemy under Yuan Moba, had deepened his mastery over ti.
This made his exchanges with Yu Cheng mutually beneficial.
"Master Lei, your use of Yin Yang Twin Thunder to drive the Thunderheart Furnace for Spirit Pill refinent is quite rare, truly inspiring to ," Yu Cheng sighed.
