Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: The Fifth Elder’s Ingenious Ideas_1

“It’s a pity that Lu Yang didn’t learn my Fairy’s Boxing Style. Otherwise, he also wouldn’t have fallen into unconsciousness.” Fairy Eternity found Lu Yang pleasing in all aspects except for his stubbornness in refusing to learn her boxing technique.

“Fairy’s Boxing Style?” Yun Zhi gently repeated her words, put down her chopsticks, and looked on with great interest.

“It’s also known as the Health Preservation Boxing. Once mastered, it can turn one’s body into a medicine. You wouldn’t need to take any elixirs for illness or for Cultivation, and all toxins would cease to affect you.”

“However, to master Fairy’s Boxing, one must first get the hang of over a thousand techniques like Arhat Fruit Fist, Boat-Fruited Sterculia Seed Fist, Ginseng Fist, and so on. Fuse them together, discard the false and preserve the true, remove the impurities and keep the essence. Use your body as a furnace to melt those over a thousand techniques into one. That will be the Fairy’s Boxing.”

Yun Zhi fell silent for a moment, then got up seriously and asked, “Could you teach me, elder?”

“Naturally, I can.”

…

When Lu Yang awoke, he had already left the kitchen.

“Awake now? How do you feel?”

Lu Yang thought, ‘I’ve been knocked out by the spiciness, and you’re asking how I feel?’

“My Cultivation Level is…”

Barely having moved, Lu Yang realized his Cultivation Level had somewhat improved. It had risen from the early stages of Golden Core Stage to the mid-stage of Golden Core.

He had not done anything at all.

“Hehe, do you think I merely made a normal plate of tomato scrambled eggs? How could it be, the tomato scrambled eggs I made can increase your Cultivation Level!”

“The reason you think your Cultivation Level has not increased much is that you only took one bite. If you were to finish the entire dish, I guarantee you will advance to the late Golden Core Stage!”

Lu Yang felt that his steady and slow Cultivation was safer.

If he were to follow Fairy Eternity’s theory and finish the whole dish, he was afraid he might directly ascend to immortality.

Outside his Abode, Meng Jingzhou shouted at the top of his voice, “Lu Yang, are you awake yet?”

“I’m awake.” Lu Yang stepped out of his Abode. The dazzling sunlight made him slightly uncomfortable.

In front of the Abode’s door stood Meng Jingzhou, Li Haoran, and Qin Yanyan.

Seeing that Lu Yang had awoken, Meng Jingzhou let out a sigh of relief, “Finally, you’re awake now. You’ve been unconscious for three months!”

Lu Yang was amazed. He didn’t expect Fairy Eternity’s poison to be so potent.

Li Haoran helplessly stated, “Senior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Lu has only slept for two hours.”

“Hey, Junior Brother Li, you shouldn’t have… you spoiled my fun. Do you know how hard I tried to trick Lu Yang successfully.”

Qin Yanyan quietly observed this scene, wondering if the notable brilliance of geniuses like Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou stemmed from entwining deceit and trickery into their daily lives.

Very likely.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s all go find the Fifth Elder together. Once Fifth Elder joins our Heaven’s Court, he will be a founding member!”

…

With Li Haoran leading the way, the group soon found the Fifth Elder who was currently refining magic instrument.

The Fifth Elder threw his own Daoist robe into the fire for a fiery test. When the robe turned red-hot, the Fifth Elder emotionlessly reached out his hand to fetch it out of the fire.

The Fifth Elder took a small hammer from his waist and carefully banged the outer part of the robe. Then, he dunked it into the water. A sizzling sound marked the end of the refining process.

The Fifth Elder looked at the newly refined Daoist robe with satisfaction. He casually put it on, only then did he notice Lu Yang and the rest, who were watching from not far away.

“Ah, Little Lu.”

“Fifth Elder, are you refining a garment?” Lu Yang was slightly unsure, the process he had witnessed did not look like refining a garment, but rather refining some kind of metal magic instrument.

“I’m trying to combine a garment and a transit tool together.”

“Combine them?” Everyone heard this with a puzzling expression on their face; could these two things be related?

“Why aren’t they related?”” The Fifth Elder, as a Grandmaster in Refining, unraveled this mystery for everyone.

“The so-called transit tools, whether they’re carriages or flying boats, are all tools that facilitate your movement, correct?”

“Carriages, flying boats, flying swords, they all have one thing in common, they all bear our weight.”

“If that is the case, then why have we always been ignoring the most common object that bears our weight—clothes?”

Upon thinking, Lu Yang found that this was indeed the case. Clothes, when worn on the body, from another perspective, aren’t they enveloping our bodies?

People are carriers for clothes.

“That’s why I believe that clothes are the best transit tools. Take a look.”

The Fifth Elder maneuvered his spiritual power and the newly refined Daoist robe flew up, taking him along with it.

The Fifth Elder made a turn mid-air, landed steadily, and continued speaking to everyone. “Usually, only individuals at the Golden Core Stage can fly on their own. A special case would be Sword Cultivators, who can fly with swords during the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“So, if Foundation Establishment Stage Sword Cultivators can fly with swords, why can’t regular Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators fly with clothes?”

“Of course, the method I’m currently using to refine clothes is overly complex. It’s not something that those at the Foundation Establishment Stage can master yet. Once I refine and simplify the process, register a patent, and promote it in the Cultivation World, won’t there be endless wealth flowing into the Refining Peak?” The Fifth Elder said with great enthusiasm. When there’s more money in Refining Peak, they can buy more materials and refine better magic artifacts.

“Fifth Elder, you’re brilliant!” Lu Yang sincerely praised, finding it to be highly feasible.

The Seek Dao Sect has endless Spirit Stones, and it relies on talents in refining and pill-making like the Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, especially in refining, which gained them a good reputation in the Cultivation World.

“Who is that girl?” The Fifth Elder pointed at Qin Yanyan and asked.

“That is the daughter of Junior Brother Li’s ex-wife.” Lu Yang explained.

The Fifth Elder jumped in shock. When did his apprentice get married?

“It’s the daughter of my wife from the previous life!” Li Haoran quickly added an explanation.

“Oh, it’s Qin Yanyan, Haoran mentioned you before. So you can be considered my granddaughter.”

Qin Yanyan: “…..”

She somewhat regretted coming to the Seek Dao Sect as she seems to be of the smallest status here. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou frequently refer to her as their grandniece, and now she has directly become someone’s granddaughter.

Just as Qin Yanyan wanted to say that the past life was past, and this life is the present, not to mix them up, she saw the Fifth Elder take out a magic artifact from his bosom.

“This is our first meeting, so I should give you something. I don’t have much of value on me, but I see you are a Talisman Cultivator. Here, take this Talisman Making Brush. There are eighteen common talismans engraved inside. When you run your spiritual power through it, it can instantly complete drawing them. It should be of some help to you.”

Qin Yanyan was shocked by the function of the magic Instrument. A Talisman Making Brush is a must-have for a Talisman Cultivator. She has one too, with ten kinds of talismans inside. That brush was made by a renowned refining master at the request of Su Yiren. The refining master said that a Golden Core-level Talisman making brush could at most engrave ten kinds of talismans.

“This… this is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”

“Take it. It’s just a small gadget that I refined during my leisure time. It’s not worth much.” The Fifth Elder said generously.

Looking at Qin Yanyan, Li Haoran felt a sour feeling. As he recalled, why did the master give a gift on meeting Qin Yanyan for the first time, but threw him into the magma the first time they met?

“Oh, why were you guys looking for me?” The Fifth Elder suddenly recalled that Lu Yang and the others must have come looking for him for a reason.

“This is the thing, we established a sect called Heaven’s Court. It has a deep foundation, with the inheritance of ancient immortals, the support of influential families, someone who had once been in the half-step Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and someone who was the first-in-line successor of the Nine Nether Sect. We would like to invite Fifth Elder to become the Protector of our Heaven’s Court.”
