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)

It really does mean a lot, especially to rookie authors like myself.
