Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Traslator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

When Lu Yang first saw the pill recipe, he wasn’t sure if the “river water” mentioned by Alchemist Qing He referred to the water of the Mother-Child river.

However, Everlasting Fairy’s voice soon confirmed this idea for Lu Yang.

“Eh, it’s Qing He? This little girl was my most devout follower and always acted in line with my wishes.”

…

“River water?”

“I’ve read in an ancient book that in ancient times, there was a river. Women who drank from this river could conceive.”

“Such a magical river exists?” The Seventh Elder was very surprised. He had never heard of such a river.

Lu Yang thought to himself, “What’s this compared to a river that can grow sisters?”

The Seventh Elder was not surprised that Lu Yang knew ancient secrets. Lu Yang had shown his knowledge when he represented the sect master in receiving the Five Elements Sect. Considering that Lu Yang was Junior Brother to Yun Zhi, his knowledge of ancient secrets was also understandable.

“Where does this river water come from? Could it be naturally occurring?”

Lu Yang hesitated. The Mother-Child river water was created by Everlasting Fairy, but her existence could not be revealed to outsiders.

“Just say it was made by Ying Tian Immortal. After all, he has already claimed the authorship of my recipes. One more Mother-Child river won’t hurt!” Everlasting Fairy waved her hand, appearing very generous.

Respecting Everlasting Fairy’s wishes, Lu Yang said to the Seventh Elder, “It was water refined by Ying Tian Immortal in ancient times.”

“I see. When an immortal takes action, it’s naturally extraordinary. Refining such an unnatural river water is within reason.”

The Seventh Elder quickly believed Lu Yang’s story.

“By the way, what brings you here?”

Lu Yang took out the Mu Tian Grass and explained what had happened: “That’s the situation. Eldest Senior Sister said to leave this grass to you.”

The Seventh Elder’s eyes lit up, “A spirit-intelligent herb is indeed rare. Most intelligent herbs do not do evil and cannot be easily refined into pills. It’s a rare chance to have one in my hands!”

It was the first time the Seventh Elder was allowed to use a spirit-intelligent herb for alchemy, making him very happy. “The value of this Mu Tian Grass is immeasurable. Tell me what you want, and I will fulfill your wish!”

Lu Yang waved his hand repeatedly, “No need, no need. The Mu Tian Grass has harmed many. It’s enough just to deal with it.”

Seeing that Lu Yang didn’t want anything, the Seventh Elder made a decision for him, “That won’t do. How about this, I’ll refine three batches of pills for you for free.”

His alchemy skills were unmatched in the entire cultivation world. Inviting him to refine pills even once could exhaust the resources of a Void Refinement Stage cultivator.

After leaving Pellet Cauldron Peak, on his way back to Heaven’s Gate Peak, Lu Yang encountered a group of over a dozen people. Their eyes lit up when they saw him.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Lu!” Their synchronized shout startled Lu Yang.

Lu Yang noticed that the group consisted of both men and women, all around his age.

“You are… Junior Brother Wei Nanfei and Junior Sister Jin Qinqin?” Lu Yang recognized them as disciples who had entered Dao Seeking Sect with him.

Junior Brother Wei Nanfei had been poisoned by his stepmother in his childhood but was saved by Senior Brother Dai Bufan.

Junior Sister Jin Qinqin had eaten a fruit in a valley, the Azure Wood Immortal Fruit, which allowed the internal energy in her body to circulate endlessly.

He hadn’t seen them before because they hadn’t yet reached Foundation Building. Now that they had recently succeeded in Foundation Building, they were allowed to come out.

Lu Yang scanned them with his divine sense and found it to be true; these dozen junior brothers and sisters had all reached Foundation Building.

Reaching Foundation Building at this age would already make them geniuses in the outside world, worthy of being groomed as the next sect master by a top-tier sect.

Lu Yang and his four companions were exceptions. As Eldest Senior Sister put it, their talents were proof of the great era to come. Dao Seeking Sect had never recruited five disciples with such extraordinary talents in the same cohort before.

The junior brothers and sisters all looked at Lu Yang with eyes full of admiration.

So this is the legendary Senior Brother Lu Yang?

While they had just reached Foundation Building, Senior Brother Lu Yang had already formed his Golden Core, a full major realm ahead of them.

They had heard that Senior Brother Lu Yang had served as acting sect master, a first in the history of Dao Seeking Sect, which was full of prodigies.

They heard from the senior brothers who participated in the exchange with the Five Elements Sect that Senior Brother Lu Yang was proficient in the Five Elements spells, capable of using Samadhi True Fire, Shrinking Earth, and the Water Avoidance technique. He could even create clones and was the best in swordsmanship among his peers!

Mastering even one of these techniques was difficult enough, let alone all of them.

He was their role model.

They secretly vowed to learn from Senior Brother Lu Yang and catch up to him as soon as possible!

Lu Yang encouraged his junior brothers and sisters and said, “Eldest Senior Sister has something for me to do, so I must leave first.”

“Goodbye, Senior Brother Lu Yang!” The junior brothers and sisters enthusiastically bid farewell to Lu Yang, reluctant to see him go.

Lu Yang had a smile on his face the entire way. It felt good to have junior brothers and sisters.

“Eldest Senior Sister, I’m back.”

Eldest Senior Sister was handling official matters, dealing with various complaints against Dao Seeking Sect. For instance, the sect master of the Five Elements Sect strongly condemned the second elder for harassing his mother.

Then there was the matter of the Five Elements Sect master’s mother hoping the second elder would bring more innovative gifts next time.

Another issue involved Daoist Non-Speaker staggering into jail, hoping that Yun Zhi could bail him out as his guarantor.

Some people even wanted to hear Daoist Non-Speaker narrate the continuation of “The Legend of Dao Seeking Sect,” applying to be jailed next to him. The Great Xia Dynasty hoped Yun Zhi would quickly get Daoist Non-Speaker out, as the prison was now full of prisoners who came to hear his storytelling.

She gently rubbed her temples, puzzled as to why there were so many troublesome matters to handle in the thriving Dao Seeking Sect.

Why did it seem that there were fewer problems when the master was the sect leader?

Eldest Senior Sister stood up and motioned for Lu Yang to come over. “Since you’re back, come with me.”

“Where are we going?” Lu Yang was curious.

“After the downfall of the Undying Sect, the Undying Sect’s Sect Leader revealed the location of the Undying Sect’s origin, where the first Undying Sect’s Sect Leader saw the Everlasting Celestial relics.”

“The Great Xia Dynasty had sent people to investigate. Their report mentioned many things that seemed to be from ancient times. Since the ancient period was so long ago, their understanding of the texts, traditions, and ancient languages was minimal. The Great Xia Dynasty was cautious about moving these ancient items, fearing they might damage them.”

“My knowledge of the ancient period is not as extensive as Senior Everlasting Fairy’s, and this matter is closely related to her. She should be the one to go.”

“After the Great Xia Dynasty informed me of this, I initially planned to take you and Senior to explore the relics. At that time, you were training in the dense forest, at a crucial stage of forming your Golden Core, so I didn’t disturb you.”

“Now that you have successfully formed your Golden Core, I can safely take you to the relics.”

As Eldest Senior Sister spoke, she walked out of the cave, waved her hand to the sky, and a gap appeared in the clouds. A white cloud descended from the sky and landed in front of her.

“Let’s go.”
