Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

“Your Dao Seeking Sect have gone too far!” Qiu Jin’an roared furiously, overturning the table. The food landed on the floor, sizzling as it corroded the floorboards, causing onlookers to twitch at the corners of their eyes.

In the outside world, his image had always been that of a graceful gentleman who could engage in lively conversations with ordinary people and cultivators alike, without any barriers. In fact, that was indeed the kind of person he was.

Qiu Jin’an felt that the Dao Seeking Sect was his natural enemy, capable of easily stirring his emotions.

In a sense, the Dao Seeking Sect treated Qiu Jin’an with great respect, comparable to the ancient Four Immortals.

After all, only the ancient Four Immortals were worthy of experiencing Yellow Bean’s culinary skills.

In the spiritual space, Lu Yang felt a chill down his spine at this scene, realizing there was a reason the ancient Four Immortals did not eat your cooking.

Everlasting Fairy, while cooking, blocked Lu Yang’s view with the excuse, “This is an ancient secret, you cannot learn it.”

At that moment, Lu Yang had a bad premonition, which now seemed to have come true.

And this was just two dishes; Everlasting Fairy had prepared a total of eight dishes, and Lu Yang dared not imagine what kind of monsters and demons would appear next.

But that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that everything Everlasting Fairy did was using his own face. To outsiders, it appeared as if these actions were his own doing!

The day before yesterday and yesterday, using the rights of a proxy sect master, she arbitrarily challenged others beyond her level, already drawing a wave of hatred. Now, another wave of hatred was coming.

What sin have I committed, to recite Everlasting Fairy’s true name and resurrect her.

Lu Yang now felt that the karma of resurrecting an immortal was as heavy as a mountain; he was almost unable to bear it.

There was a reason why the person behind the scenes was unwilling to personally resurrect Everlasting Fairy!

Seeing Qiu Jin’an’s fury, the Great Elders and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, communicating with each other through voice transmission.

“Fortunately, our Dao Seeking Sect observed etiquette and let the Five Elements Sect eat first; otherwise, we would have been the unlucky ones.”

“Little Lu is thoughtful. He has no hostility towards the Five Elements Sect, but upon hearing that the Five Elements Sect had conflicts with us, he immediately took action, giving Qiu Jin’an a lesson. What a good kid!”

The Five Elements Sect disciples was also reflecting: “I used to disdain the adherence to etiquette, thinking it was old-fashioned. But now, it seems that the ancients were not without reason. Elders should eat first.”

“Elders eating first to test for poison before letting us eat, that’s the wisdom of the ancients!”

“The Sect Master risking himself to test for poison is a spirit worth learning from.”

“I had heard before that the Dao Seeking Sect’s pills and poisons were unparalleled. Today, I’ve truly seen it.”

“Others poison their food, but this is cooking with poison.”

While Qiu Jin’an was eating, the Second Elder showed concern for Shangguan Yu: “Fairy Yu, it’s been a long time. You are still so beautiful.”

Shangguan Yu looked calmly at the Second Elder: “Little Ba, it’s impossible between us, and it’s not suitable. You should give up.”

The Second Elder became anxious: “Is there any flaw in me? I can change!”

Shangguan Yu shook her head and said nothing more, simply moving a bit farther away from the Second Elder.

“We are all beyond the need for food; this meal is unnecessary. It’s all just formalities. It’s better to let the disciples compete directly!” Qiu Jin’an, no longer beating around the bush, revealed the purpose of his visit.

The Great Elder said, “It should be so. We plan to divide the competition into four stages: Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul Stage, and Spirit Transformation Stage, to compete accordingly.”

Qiu Jin’an sneered, thinking that the Dao Seeking Sect indeed planned to divide the competition by cultivation level, avoiding Yun Zhi’s participation.

With a grand gesture, he said, “I have only one requirement: let your best disciple from the Dao Seeking Sect compete against our best disciple. One battle to determine the winner, how about it!”

The Great Elder hesitated, fearing a repeat of the classic scene where Yun Zhi brutally defeated the Five Elements Sect: “That might not be a good idea. We’ve already planned it all out. If you lose badly, it won’t look good for you.”

Don’t really anger Qiu Jin’an to a bad end, at least not in the Dao Seeking Sect.

Seeing the Great Elder like this, Qiu Jin’an was even more certain of his thoughts: “Face? Strength speaks among cultivators. Losing is losing, winning is winning. What need is there for face!”

Qiu Jin’an beckoned, letting his top disciple step forward.

“This is my top disciple, Lin Shaoyou, also the most outstanding disciple of the Five Elements Sect, with a single wood spiritual root, early Unity stage cultivation. Generally, cultivators with a single wood spiritual root are suitable for healing and treatment, not skilled in combat, but he is different!”

“Shaoyou has also carried the Five Elements Sect’s philosophy of the mutual generation and overcoming of the five elements to the extreme, capable of wood generating fire, fire generating earth, earth generating metal, and has mastered fire and metal spells — Six Ding Divine Fire and Berserker Golden Body. He has even turned these two types of spells into taboo spells with great lethal power!” (TL Note: The Six Ding Divine Fire is the fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace which was owned by Laozi in “Journey to the West”.)

“Shaoyou has maintained the enduring aura of a wood spiritual root while mastering the ultimate attack spells. His combat power is far beyond the early Unity stage. Just a few days ago, he defeated a Grand Elder from a first-grade sect, who had late Unity stage cultivation!”

Lin Shaoyou, dressed like a well-fed scholar, wore a pleasant smile, exuding an elegant temperament that gave off an effortless vibe.

Indeed, he had the qualifications to be so effortless. Among his peers, he hardly found any match. His sights were set on the previous generation, or even the one before that.

“Is my opponent Dai Bufan or Ji Hongwen?”

In his view, among the Dao Seeking Sect’s peers, only these two were qualified to be his opponents.

He had encountered Yun Zhi before, many techniques not yet deployed. This time, he was determined to fully demonstrate them, to win honor for his master!

“It’s me.”

A voice, calm with a hint of indifference, came through, sending shivers down the spine.

Yun Zhi, who had been silent from the start, stepped forward, causing the hearts of Sect Master Qiu and his top disciple to skip a beat.

Qiu Jin’an managed a forced sneer: “Don’t try to scare me. I’ve already inquired thoroughly. Yun Zhi is acting as the sect master and cannot participate in the fight. The best disciple should either be Dai Bufan or Ji Hongwen!”

Yun Zhi took out a document stating in black and white that Lu Yang was acting as the sect master for three days. Pointing at Lu Yang, she said, “This person is the current acting sect master. I am now just an ordinary disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect.”

Everlasting Fairy chimed in: “Exactly, I am now the acting sect master!”

“What kind of joke is this, how can a Foundation Building stage possibly act as the sect master!” Qiu Jin’an exclaimed in anger.

The Great Elder shook his head: “You are mistaken. This Sect Master Lu is a genius among geniuses. Though only at the Foundation Building stage, he can challenge those beyond his level and has defeated cultivators at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul Stage, and Spirit Transformation Stage!”

At these words, all eyes from the Five Elements Sect instantly focused on Everlasting Fairy.

A Foundation Building stage defeating a Spirit Transformation Stage, even with external aid, was akin to a fairy tale, an impossible feat not even conceived in myths!

Though the Dao Seeking Sect’s reputation wasn’t great, they never lied, especially about such matters. Qiu Jin’an’s expression turned solemn, realizing the Dao Seeking Sect had produced such a shocking genius.

Compared to Lu Yang, any genius from history seemed dimmed!

The Dao Seeking Sect was indeed formidable, having anticipated his move and prepared in advance by having Yun Zhi participate.

Qiu Jin’an found himself in a difficult position. Having spoken boldly, if he didn’t fight, wouldn’t it be a great loss of face?

Just as Qiu Jin’an was troubled, Lin Shaoyou took a step forward, moving Qiu Jin’an deeply.

Worthy of being the top disciple, daring to step forward at this moment, facing the pressure from Yun Zhi.

Lin Shaoyou took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing and mindset. He looked straight at Yun Zhi and declared loudly:

“In that case, then I shall no longer be a disciple of the Five Elements Sect!”
