Who Let Him Cultivate?!

There was a wave of sighs from below the stage. While the Transformation Technique is difficult to cultivate, it’s rather common and evidently has no auction value.

Only a handful of individuals were not sighing, such as Lu Yang and Chi Xulong.

The auctioneer continued to introduce, “This book is not your normal Transformation Technique – it even allows for attacks during the transformation process. If used during combat, I believe the technique could catch your enemies off guard.”

Only then did people start showing some interest, albeit limited. After all, who uses a Transformation Technique during combat?

The auctioneer reminded, “Bear in mind, this magic skill is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even Master Yang Xuanling has said that while this book seems ordinary, it’s far from the simplicity that it presents at surface level.”

Lu Yang murmured just loud enough for Chi Xulong to hear, “Just as I thought, this book is uncannily similar to the one described in the legends.”

Sitting next to him, Meng Jingzhou heard Lu Yang muttering to himself and hissed out in a low, urgent voice, “Shut up! Can you go around broadcasting those remarks? When will you fix this habit of talking to yourself!”

Scared by Meng Jingzhou’s words, Lu Yang shut up, staring intently at the Transformation Technique being exhibited on the stage.

Chi Xulong watched Lu Yang from the corner of his eye, his guesses beginning to solidify.

“Startingbid, one hundred Spirit Stones!”

The price was much lower than the standard Transformation Technique. It appears even the merchant’s guild was unsure about the pricing of this Imitation Fist.

“One hundred and ten!” Someone quickly placed a bid, a small amount of Spirit Stones wasn’t much, and it was worth it to own something unique.

“One hundred and twenty!” Chi Xulong called out nonchalantly, as if just making a casual remark.

“One hundred and forty!”

“One hundred and eighty!”

“Two hundred!”

The price of the Imitation Fist skyrocketed rapidly.

“Eight hundred!” Lu Yang shouted.

Meng Jingzhou promptly restrained Lu Yang’s hand, “Why are you shouting so high? Are you trying to draw people’s attention or what?”

“I’m just afraid someone else will buy it,” he replied.

Eight hundred Spirit Stones wasn’t a significant amount, but that was for a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage; a Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage can’t casually afford eight hundred Spirit Stones.

“One thousand!”

A voice rang out next to Lu Yang. Looking surprised, Lu Yang turned towards Chi Xulong, unable to comprehend why he would compete with him for the Transformation Technique.

It’s merely an appealingly unique magic skill at first glance!

Could he have realized something as well?

But how could he have figured it out?

An inward curse slipped out from Lu Yang’s lips. Could Chi Xulong have overheard him mumbling to himself earlier?

Lu Yang said to Chi Xulong in a low voice, “Fellow Cultivator, this magic skill appears to be a long-lost technique from my family. Could you let me have it? You will be generously rewarded after the auction ends.”

Chi Xulong coldly laughed. Long lost indeed. Who would believe you? There must be ancient secrets hidden within this magic skill!

Shen Jinyi, sitting nearby, wanted to intervene but seeing the determined attitude Chi Xulong displayed, he chose not to say anything.

Seeing sweet talk wasn’t working, Lu Yang made another bid, “One thousand and two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones!”

“Two thousand,” Chi Xulong countered, without batting an eye. Seeing Lu Yang being so compliant, he speculated that the latter hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lu Yang wagered all he had, “Two thousand and three hundred low-grade Spirit Stones!”

“Three thousand,” Chi Xulong still showed disinterest.

Lu Yang asked Meng Jingzhou to lend him some money, “Borrow me a thousand Spirit Stones. I’ll be certain to return them next year!”

“Okay.” Meng Jingzhou agreed readily.

“Three thousand and three hundred low-grade Spirit Stones!”

“Four thousand!”

Lu Yang continued borrowing money, but he ultimately couldn’t compete with Chi Xulong’s deep pockets.

In the end, Chi Xulong successfully bid on the Transformation Technique for a terrifying eight thousand Spirit Stones. Lu Yang, teary-eyed, profited from an advance of eight thousand Spirit Stones. The outcome was mutually beneficial, bringing joy to both parties.

After the auction, as Lu Yang and his party were about to leave, stepping outside the market area and reaching the foot of the barren mountains, they were cornered by Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi.

“What… What do you want!”

Chi Xulong hooked his lips in a cruel smile, “What do I want? Kid, don’t play dumb. No one has ever managed to trick me!”

Chi Xulong pulled out the Transformation Technique, releasing the energy signature of the Foundation Establishment Stage, “Tell me, what’s the ancient secret hidden inside this book?”

“If you cooperate, I can spare your lives. But if you dare to lie, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Chi Xulong had no intention of letting the four of them go, knowing that fewer people who knew the ancient secret, the better. Also, Lan Ting’s extraordinarily beautiful appearance – surely he would want to toy with her before he killed her!

To Chi Xulong, these four people couldn’t even afford a few thousand spirit stones, so they must be in the Qi Refinement stage.

Those in the Qi Refinement stage have no chance of resistance against him!

Lu Yang sighed, remembering how Rudder Master Chu had hinted to him to stir up trouble during the Spring Festival. Could it be that Master Chu had already anticipated today’s situation and suggested to him to kill Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi?

Master Chu is truly inscrutable in his plans!

Lu Yang removed his mask, revealing his true face, “Chi Xulong, there is no need for such tension between us.”

As he spoke, he sneaked out the Recording Orb.

“Lu Yang! You deserve to die!” Chi Xulong was furious, instantly realizing that Lu Yang was just toying with him.

The auction was just a show played for his own benefit!

“There must be some misunderstanding between us; certainly, it’s caused by some mischief-maker. What do you say we go to Rudder Master Chu and clear the air? Even if you don’t believe me, you should trust Master Chu, right?”

He wasn’t angry until Master Chu was mentioned, Chi Xulong was furious, “How dare you mention Master Chu? Have you no shame?”

“Master Chu must have been deceived by you, that’s why he let you be the Manager. Who is the troublemaker? It’s you!”

” How could I be the troublemaker? Don’ t slander me!” Lu Yang vehemently defended himself.

Chi Xulong sneered, “Don’t think I don’t know about your damned deeds!”

“You act decent in front of Master Chu. Since you have joined the sect, everything you’ve done is all about screwing us over. I suspect you’re a mole from the Righteous Path!”

Of course, Chi Xulong was saying this out of anger. If he genuinely thought that Lu Yang was a mole from the Righteous Path, he would have secretly been monitoring Lu Yang for evidence.

Lu Yang heaved a sigh, tucked away the Recording Orb, drew out his Green Peak Sword, and regrettably stated, “It seems there’s only one way to settle this between us – a battle.”

Both Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi responded with disdainful smiles and readied their weapons.

Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, and Lan Ting too, prepared themselves for battle.

The battle began.

Lu Yang brought news of Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi’s deaths to Master Chu.

No matter how strong Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi were, it was impossible for them to survive against four disciples of the Immortal Sect. This was a battle where they were completely crushed. Their grisly deaths made Lan Ting lose her appetite.

As he pulled out the Recording Orb, Lu Yang explained to Master Chu: “You know Chi Xulong’s temper. He would kill someone at the slightest disagreement. I was worried something like this might happen, so I recorded everything beforehand. This way, he couldn’t come here claiming innocence, accusing me of bullying him.”

“It seems like he isn’t going to be coming here after all.”

“Something must have gone wrong with the Recording Orb; the recording is quite fragmented. But, it should give you a general idea of what happened. Please have a look.”

Sitting in his jade chair, Rudder Master Chu picked up the Recording Orb and watched the recorded scene.

“Chi Xulong, there’s no need for such tension between us.” Lu Yang tried to mitigate the situation.

“Lu Yang! You deserve to die!” Clearly, Chi Xulong didn’t appreciate his efforts.

“There must be some misunderstanding between us; certainly, it’s caused by some mischief-maker. What do you say we go to Rudder Master Chu and clear the air? Even if you don’t believe me, you should trust Master Chu, right?”

“Master Chu…Where do you get the nerve!”

“Master Chu…. let you..become the Manager… You are the mischief-maker!”

“…How could I be the mischief-maker? Don’t speak nonsense!” Lu Yang firmly defended himself.

“Don’t think I don’t know …what… good things you’ve done!”

“…Master Chu… acts like a perfect gentleman… everything you’ve done since joining is screwing us over… I think…you’re a mole from the Righteous Path!”

The recording ended there, leaving Master Chu gritting his teeth in anger.

With righteous indignation, Lu Yang commented, “Master, you’ve been good to me. We, of the Demon Path, know the value of loyalty, the fury of not being recognized, and the power of gratitude. Seeing Chi Xulong falsely accusing and framing you, with Shen Jinyi standing by doing nothing, I was enraged and decided, with Meng Jingzhou and others, to kill him!”

“It was not suitable to record during the fight, so I put away the Recording Orb.”

Of course, Lu Yang wouldn’t let Master Chu know his style of combat.

Rudder Master Chu loudly praised him, barely containing his anger towards Chi Xulong: “Well done! Those two beasts, Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi, deserved to die!”

Master Chu knew that Chi Xulong was dissatisfied with him. Considering Chi Xulong was talented, he had once summoned him for guidance. At that time, Chi Xulong even pledged his loyalty, promising to do better than Lu Yang.

Now it seems that Chi Xulong still held resentment against him, even spouting nonsense about him being a mole from the Righteous Path.

How could the Eternity Sect have a mole from the Righteous Path!

“Lu Yang, you have eliminated two serious threats for our sect. Well done! When the Inspector comes, I will certainly put in a good word for you!”
