Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 324: Chapter 323: Qilin Immortal, I’ve remembered you!_1

“Right, this is the mud I found, Breath Soil.” Kirin Immortality Medicine regained its composure after the shock of the immortal battle and remembered why it was here.

“Breath Soil, is it the legendary kind that just needs a small piece to obstruct a river?!” Lu Yang had only seen this precious soil in books. Because of its magical effects, it was known by people as “Immortal Soil”.

Fairy Eternity walked around the Breath Soil a few times and recognized its origins: “Oh, this is a good thing made by the Immortal Jiuchong. It swells when it encounters water and is used to control floodwaters.”

“Back then, our river channels were a mess, frequently flooding, and the tribes were all settled by the river. This led to massive casualties every time the river flooded, making it difficult to rebuild afterwards.”

“The large tribes were okay because they had cultivators who used the Water Control Technique to control the river’s direction and prevent dangers to the tribe. But for the medium and small tribes, their cultivators weren’t powerful enough to control the massive river.”

“Although Immortal Jiuchong was from the Lianshan Clan, the largest Human family, he treated everyone alike, especially the small tribes.”

“After becoming an immortal, he sought to solve the problem of floods by refining a type of mud that swells when it meets water, which is this Breath Soil you’re holding.”

“Oh, right, Lu Yang, you can’t eat the Breath Soil.” Fairy Eternity reminded him.

“Is there a problem with that?”

Fairy Eternity looked at Lu Yang with a sympathetic gaze: “Breath Soil swells when it meets water, and saliva counts too. If you take a bite of Breath Soil, it will swell up and wrap around you.”

“In that case, I’ll stay away.” Lu Yang quickly distanced himself from the Breath Soil.

After consuming the other two kinds of precious soil brought by the Three-Leafed Star Grass and the Time Termination Flower respectively, Lu Yang didn’t notice any effect.

“It’s not working.”

The effects of the three types of soil couldn’t all be bodily enhancements.

“Try another bite?” Fairy Eternity wasn’t convinced.

Lu Yang ate all the soil he brought, and there was absolutely no change.

Lu Yang thought he probably hadn’t eaten enough, so he had the Little Medicinal Kings continue to find soil for him to eat, but he ate until dawn without sensing any changes.

“Fairy, is this Devour the Sky and Swallow the Earth of yours reliable?” Lu Yang suspected that he had been tricked by Fairy Eternity.

“Why wouldn’t it be? This was taught to me by Qilin Immortal himself as a great divine ability of the Gluttony!”

Lu Yang instantly had a bad feeling: “Wait, was it Qilin Immortal who taught you?”

“Yes.”

“When did he teach you? Was it after his wedding?”

Fairy Eternity asked in surprise: “How did you know?”

“Not long after his wedding ended, Qilin Immortal approached me, asking if I wanted to learn the ancient great divine ability of the Gluttony. I thought there was no harm in trying.”

“Devour the Sky and Swallow the Earth was not difficult to learn; I mastered it quickly. Afterwards, Qilin Immortal asked me if I wanted to try eating some soil. I retorted, saying that as an immortal, what could eating soil do for me? Hearing this, he left in disappointment.”

Lu Yang remained silent for a while before he tentatively asked: “Fairy, did you mention in the book that the gluttonous clan could enhance their cultivation potential by eating soil?”

“No, Qilin Immortal told me that.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Lu Yang roughly understood what was going on—Devour the Sky and Swallow the Earth was indeed for eating soil, and the Gluttony did indeed rise to prominence from eating soil, but there was absolutely no saying that eating soil could enhance cultivation potential!

It was Qilin Immortal who wanted to take revenge on Fairy Eternity, deliberately teaching her this divine ability and using the “improvement of cultivation potential” as a lure to make Fairy Eternity eat soil.

In this way, Qilin Immortal could spread the fact that Fairy Eternity ate soil around, using it to mock her.

Who would have imagined that Fairy Eternity was so unworldly and didn’t fall for it at all!

300,000 years later, the trap, which was set by Qilin Immortal, managed to catch Lu Yang, the unlucky schmuck who ate soil all night.

Qilin Immortal, if you can’t trick Fairy Eternity, then you trick me?! I remember you!

…

When everyone arrived at the meeting point, Lu Yang hadn’t arrived yet.

Just as they were about to go look for him, Lu Yang walked over with a heavy gait, his face covered in a layer of mud.

Meng Jingzhou was startled by Lu Yang’s appearance, “What happened to you? Did you fall in the mud while sleeping?”

Lu Yang brushed it off as if nothing had happened, “Nothing much, just a minor setback when learning divine abilities – a common occurrence on the path of cultivation.”

Luckily, as a Golden Core stage cultivator, he doesn’t need to sleep; otherwise, Lu Yang would be so exhausted that he could hardly keep his eyes open.

The Fifth Elder also showed concern for Lu Yang, “Really, you’re alright?”

“I’m really okay.”

“That’s good then.”

The Fifth Elder pulled out a flying shuttle from his sleeve, tossed it lightly in the air, and it expanded to the size of a commercial flying boat.

The flying shuttle opened, revealing the seats and various sophisticated facilities within.

This was the Fifth Elder’s favorite flying magic artifact. As far as cost was concerned, it was much more expensive than a flying boat.

“Get in.”

One by one, everyone jumped onto the flying shuttle, and it closed up.

“Everyone’s seated and buckled up?” The Fifth Elder stood at the forefront, asking lightly.

Everyone, not quite understanding his meaning, sat obediently in their seats and collectively confirmed that they were secured.

“Good.”

With a nod, the Fifth Elder raised his index and middle fingers, activating the flying shuttle.

The shuttle broke the air barrier, creating a sonic boom, and launched at a high speed.

Feeling as though something heavy was charging towards them, everyone felt pushed tightly against their seats, unable to move, including Lu Yang.

No matter how hard Lu Yang gritted his teeth and used all of his strength, he could not break free and was stuck to his seat.

He even attempted to form a shield of spiritual essence around him for protection, but it shattered as soon as it left his body due to the high speed — he couldn’t maintain a barrier.

Finally, the pressure disappeared. The four of them sloppily sprawled forward, arms propped on their legs, heads drooping forward to steady themselves.

They were filled with a sense of relief as if they had just escaped from a crisis.

They hadn’t even felt this way when facing the Nine Nether cult.

The Fifth Elder paced in front of them, advising, “I intentionally accelerated sharply just now to train your response to sudden situations. Remember this feeling. As cultivators, you must be alert to possible dangers around you at all times.”

“Back when I was young, I was always racing flying boats, dealing with law enforcement cultivators flying in unpredictably from all directions. Not once did they manage to seize me.”

The four of them watched the Fifth Elder cautiously, thinking that right now, the biggest danger was him!

The flying shuttle’s speed was extremely fast. Lu Yang had intended to demonstrate his newly learned “Devour the Sky,” but before he could speak, the Fifth Elder announced.

“We’re here.”

Meng Jingzhou leaned over and spotted Yanjiang County below.

The flying shuttle was now directly above Yanjiang County, completely invisible to the naked eye.

“We descend now.”

The four of them looked at each other, unable to find any equipment for landing.

Only cultivators at the Golden Core stage could fly. Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan were not yet at the Golden Core stage, and Lu Yang feared heights.

How could they descend?

The Fifth Elder hit his forehead, “I’ll bring you guys down.”

With a swipe of the Fifth Elder’s sleeve, Lu Yang felt a sudden darkness in front of his eyes. When he forced his eyes open, he found himself lying on the floor of a barbecue shop with Li Haoran on his left and Qin Yanyan on his right.

“What happened? Can Fifth Elder also use the ‘Universe within the Sleeve’?” Lu Yang was astonished. Wasn’t that a great divine skill that was difficult to cultivate?

Fairy Eternity spoke softly, “No, he just knocked you guys out and carried you here.”
