Yang Qing sighed deeply as he stared at the towering black building that pierced the sky, exuding an unassailable aura.
"The Order sure has a heart of stone," he thought angrily as he reluctantly entered the building. This place could be considered his second home, though it brought him endless grief due to its relentless working hours.
The building housed the courtrooms of the Cultivation Order Society, an organization established to maintain order in the chaotic cultivation world of the southern continent. Without this society, the cultivators might have plunged the entire continent into ruin due to their impulsive nature. Consequently, the cases never ceased.
"Yi Jie, what do we have today?"
"Two cultivators at the Palace Realm fought over a treasure and destroyed half of the Blue Deer Kingdom's territory in the process. A rogue cultivator is suing the owner of the Falling Meteor Blacksmith Shop for selling him a faulty saber that keeps attracting lightning tribulations. A cultivator suffering from pill poisoning blames the White Hilltop Restaurant, suspecting they feed pills to their spirit beasts to make them bigger and fatter. Lastly, 500 families are suing a cultivator named Ren Fu for being negligent as a husband and father while also depleting their resources as he moves from place to place."
An awkward silence followed...
Join me as we follow Yang Qing in his role as a judge in the Cultivation Order Society, dealing with cases and troubles that never seem to end.
Fair warning: the story has multiple POVs. I will also be re-editing the first 50 chapters, as they were missing a few things, including commas, and had some info dumps that I'll be editing out. Thanks to the readers who pointed it out. I don't know how I missed it. For new readers, please don't shy away from reading; as lovers of wuxia, we've all sampled MTL Dao at some point. If you can survive that, this won't be hard at all.
Re-edited chapter (32/50)
All support matters, whether it's power stones, comments, reviews, golden tickets, subscriptions, or those who buy privilege chapters, or even lurking readers—I welcome all your support in whatever format it comes in and thank you for it. It really does mean a lot, especially to rookie authors like myself.
The cases that were presented atleast in the free chapters were quite different from each othere represting the range this novel may offer. The plot of the cases seem interesting and the analysis and evaluation at the end of the first case was just awesome. And not all cases seem to be deep and schematic, some were just simple misunderstanding and a little funny, which provided a bit of comic relief.
The main character and the supporting characters are defined well enough that it wouldn't be hard to enjoy them apart from each other. MC is quite an oddball though, more in a funny way and surprisingly enough very stern when needed whithout it being an out of character thing for him.
I really would suggest reading till the end of the first case, and his evaluations. After that you can decide whether to continue. I don't usually write reviews but it seemed like a good novel and lacked reviews, so here I am.
And yeah, the writing was quite detailed and grammar... everything written by a human seems heavenly to me after geeting deep into mtl and raws so idk about that. That's all. Have a nice day.
Secondly, the build up promises for an awesome politics + cultivation adventure and I'm down for it.
Five star review for the moment.
Gonna review again after reading more chapters
