Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

(TL Note: Here are the 5 chapters as promised, time for me to replenish my stock of chapters.)

This is equivalent to Lu Yang’s side only providing the barbecue grills and fire seeds, leaving the business operations to the Nine Nether Sect, while still receiving 60% of the profits.

Even the Fifth Elder did not expect Lu Yang to dare to make such a deal.

This was far more profitable than when he followed Old Nine in his younger days selling “Big Or Small As You Wish (Localized Version)”!

Each generation produces talents, and the young surpass the old.

Lu Yang was also not afraid that the Nine Nether Sect could break the Fifth Elder’s restrictions, or replicate the fire seed and kick their Heavenly Court Sect aside to work independently.

He had already hinted that their Heavenly Court Sect had the Sect Leader and Bean Celestial, whose strength far surpassed that of the Nine Nether Sect. Now, collaborating with the Nine Nether Sect so harmoniously was only out of respect for the ancient Nine Nethers. If the Nine Nether Sect did not acknowledge the Heavenly Court Sect, the Heavenly Court Sect would also turn against them.

If the Nine Nether Sect dared to act alone, it would be a path to self-destruction.

Lu Yang had another consideration in letting the Nine Nether Sect open barbecue chain stores, which was to limit the actions of Nine Nether Sect followers.

The current situation did not allow for the complete eradication of the Nine Nether Sect, and during this time, the followers of the Nine Nether Sect could potentially engage in criminal activities.

Rather than letting them run amok, it was better to give them something to do.

After completing the Sect Leader’s task and discussing the cooperation matters, the Petrified Bone was very pleased.

It wouldn’t be long before he could pay off the billion spirit stone bill in full.

Speaking of the billion spirit stone bill, the Petrified Bone set his gaze on the silent Qin Yanyan, stood up, and chuckled, “I assume this is the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin that your sect has found?”

Lu Yang also laughed, “Whether she is or not, doesn’t Sect Leader Bone already have the answer in his heart?”

Qin Yanyan remained expressionless, unwilling to say a word.

What could she say? The Nine Nether Sect was now convinced she was the reincarnation of Qin Haoran. Even if she said that Li Haoran was the true reincarnation of Qin Haoran, the Nine Nether Sect might not believe it.

“Who would have thought that the former leader of the Nine Nether Sect, Sect Leader Qin, would be reincarnated as a woman? The impermanence of the world is truly unpredictable.”

Despite these words, the Petrified Bone still had great admiration for Qin Haoran.

All signs pointed to the fact that the other party had successfully reincarnated, possibly connected to the Reincarnation Ariya-Phala.

The Reincarnation Ariya-Phala was what the Petrified Bone was most interested in.

The three deputy Sect Leaders were so persistent in competing for the legacy left by Qin Haoran precisely because they suspected it was related to the Reincarnation Ariya-Phala!

The Petrified Bone had already decided that the cultivator he had originally pushed forward to impersonate the reincarnation of Qin Haoran was no longer needed. There was the real reincarnation of Qin Haoran right in front of him.

When it was time to compete for the legacy, Qin Yanyan would be asked to act.

The Nine Nether Sect and the Heavenly Court Sect had just established a cooperative relationship, and it was not the right time to discuss these matters.

The Sect Leader had instructed him to discuss cooperation with the Heavenly Court Sect, and future cooperation would still require his continued involvement, so there was no need to rush.

“Would it be possible for Qin Yanyan to return to the Nine Nether Sect with me? Sect Leader Qin managed the Nine Nether Sect for nine hundred years and left many traces. Perhaps Qin Yanyan, upon returning to the Nine Nether Sect, could recall more things by revisiting those places?”

Qin Yanyan was somewhat panicked. Returning to the Nine Nether Sect alone was like walking into the lion’s den, where a single misstep could lead to endless calamity.

Li Haoran stepped forward, blocking half of Qin Yanyan’s body, and calmly said, “As far as I know, your sect is not entirely united, is it? Not to mention the new Sect Leader’s attitude toward Qin Yanyan, how would those old subordinates view her? Would they support her as the new Sect Leader? Wouldn’t that throw your sect into chaos?”.

“And furthermore, the meaning of reincarnation lies in severing ties with one’s past life, to have no further connection. Pursuing past memories so deliberately is actually a step down.”

“As a deputy Sect Leader, is this the extent of your understanding of the Nine Nethers and reincarnation?”

In the entire room, if anyone truly understood the Nine Nether Sect, it wasn’t the always serious and seemingly nonsensical Lu Yang, but Li Haoran.

With fragmented memories from his past life, Li Haoran could barely piece together Qin Haoran’s understanding of reincarnation and the Nine Nethers.

After reincarnation, all karma is eliminated. The Nine Nethers is the place of reincarnation and also the place where karma is cleansed.

Petrified Bone didn’t doubt why Li Haoran had such a deep understanding of reincarnation. After all, he was a prodigy from ancient times, often dealing with the ancient Nine Nethers, so knowing these things was perfectly normal.

He originally just wanted to try to take Qin Yanyan from the Heavenly Court Sect, but since that didn’t work, he decided to drop it.

He laughed heartily, “I was only joking just now. Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously.”

Lu Yang also laughed, “It’s good that it was a joke. I was beginning to think your sect wanted to snatch someone from our Heavenly Court Sect. That’s something even Ying Tian Immortal never dared to do.”

Petrified Bone could tell that although Lu Yang’s tone was calm, he was actually a bit angry, so he didn’t dare to continue probing.

“Enough, it’s a good thing that our two sects have reached a cooperation. I’ll leave this barbecue shop to you. Here’s a jade pendant; if you want to contact me, just crush it.” Lu Yang said lazily, tossing a jade pendant to Petrified Bone.

Lu Yang and his group couldn’t stay at the barbecue shop forever, so it was better to transfer the shop to the Nine Nether Sect.

If they needed to find the Nine Nether Sect, they could always come here.

Petrified Bone knew this was a sign of Lu Yang’s trust and didn’t dare take it lightly. He turned around and instructed Huo Huashen, “Take a few trusted people and manage this barbecue shop well!”

In the future, when the chain stores were established, this would be considered the main store, and it wouldn’t be excessive to have someone at the Spirit Transformation Stage overseeing it.

“Yes!”

Huo Huashen thought to himself that he must seize this opportunity to earn Spirit Stones. If the day ever came when it was revealed that he was the one who brought back the billion spirit stone IOU, at least he would have an excuse.

Petrified Bone released the analysis secret technique. Keeping the secret technique active for so long had been a great mental burden.

Throughout this conversation, he noticed that this young Sect Leader Lu hadn’t uttered a single lie, and he secretly admired him. This was the demeanor of the future Heavenly Court ruler—doing things openly and uprightly, disdainful of using lies to deceive or test others.

In contrast, he had been cautiously using the analysis secret technique, which put him at a disadvantage.

In fact, from the beginning, Everlasting Fairy had warned Lu Yang that Petrified Bone was using a secret technique to detect lies and asked if it should be blocked.

Lu Yang refused, thinking it would trouble Everlasting Fairy too much. He could deceive people with the truth; why would he be afraid of Petrified Bone detecting it?

…

On the way back to the Nine Nether Sect, Petrified Bone suddenly thought of a possibility.

“Could it be that the young Sect Leader was already aware of the billion spirit stone IOU and deliberately sent it to me?”

“Did he burden me with the billion spirit stone debt and then show me the potential of the barbecue shop, forcing me to agree to the cooperation?”

Petrified Bone broke out in a cold sweat, realizing how deeply calculating this young Sect Leader was! Such a strategic mind!

And it was an open scheme—he had no choice but to comply.

No wonder he was a disciple of Bean Celestial! The future ruler of the Heavenly Court!

…

On the way back to Dao Seeking Sect, the flying shuttle wasn’t moving as fast as it had on the way there. The Fifth Elder curiously asked, “Lu Yang, the analysis of the world’s situation you gave just now, the plan you laid out for the Nine Nether Sect, and the idea of the barbecue chain stores—you never discussed those with us, did you?”

In the original plan, there was no mention of how to respond to the two questions posed by the Nine Nether Sect Sect Leader.

“Oh, those were just things I thought of on the spot.”
