Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

“You traitor!”

Lin Shaoyou turned to Qiu Jin’an and said, “Master, didn’t you just say it yourself? What need is there for face among cultivators.”

“Get back here to me!” Qiu Jin’an raged.

“Oh.” (TL Note: This is hard to translate. It’s sort of like acknowledging the sentence another party says. I don’t like translating it as “Ok” because the Oh has a nuance that I can’t really explain well. It’s kind of like nodding your head)

Lin Shaoyou obediently stood back behind Qiu Jin’an, and as they passed by each other, they communicated with their eyes.

“Master, did I act well?”

“You overdid it a bit. You need more practice.”

Qiu Jin’an coughed, gradually calming down: “Since Shaoyou is unwilling to participate in the match, as elders, we can’t force him, right?”

By proposing not to compete against Yun Zhi, Qiu Jin’an found a legitimate reason to continue as per the Dao Seeking Sect’s plan without losing face.

As the top disciple, Lin Shaoyou often had the experience of taking bullets for his master.

This time, Qiu Jin’an planned to challenge the Dao Seeking Sect from the bottom up, bringing along direct disciples from the Foundation Building stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage, all of whom were confident in their invincibility within their respective realms.

“Old Ba, keep away from her!” Qiu Jin’an noticed the Second Elder, who was still persistently harassing, grabbed Shangguan Yu’s hand, pulling her over and protecting her.

“Jin’an, Little Ba means no harm to me.”

Qiu Jin’an glared: “That’s even more problematic!”

Without further ado, Qiu Jin’an, along with the people from the Five Elements Sect, arrived at the martial arts field, briefly arranged the order of appearance, and then returned to the stands.

At this time, the disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect were gathered around the martial arts field, each with a smile on their face, all there to watch the excitement. Lu Yang had not expected the Dao Seeking Sect to have so many disciples.

The inns and other businesses within the Dao Seeking Sect spotted a business opportunity, selling viewing spots or carrying large boxes to sell fruits, claiming to make a fortune every day.

On the stands, Everlasting Fairy and Qiu Jin’an sat side by side, with Yun Zhi, the Great Elder, Shangguan Yu, Lin Shaoyou, and others sitting on either side.

Inside the spiritual space, Lu Yang and Everlasting Fairy were discussing a matter of life and death.

“Fairy, have you ever thought about being killed by the Eldest Senior Sister and then resurrected tens of thousands of years later?”

“Eh? Why are you so cruel to me?!” Everlasting Fairy was very surprised, not feeling she had done anything wrong.

“Wait, are you upset because I didn’t teach you ancient culinary skills? I’m telling you, this kind of method cannot be casually passed on.”

“Our relationship is not that of teacher and disciple. Teaching and enlightening is a very serious matter, not to be taken lightly!”

Lu Yang thought to himself, where did the fairy get the confidence in her cooking skills? Was it because the ancient Four Immortals were not poisoned to death by you?

He wore a look of deep distress: “Fairy, think about it. Since you became the acting sect master, how much hatred have you drawn for me? Even if I were made of iron, I couldn’t bear it!”

Lu Yang was sure that those Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation Stage brothers and sisters who were challenged by Everlasting Fairy would come after him with weapons to teach him a lesson after today.

Only then did Everlasting Fairy realize the trouble her playfulness had caused Lu Yang, but she was unwilling to admit her mistake: “How can it be called drawing hatred?”

“This is a test from an immortal for you. Once you pass my test, you can inherit my legacy.”

If it were the legacy of Ying Tian Immortal, Lu Yang might be tempted, but he wondered if inheriting from Everlasting Fairy might actually lower his intelligence.

“This is the legacy of an immortal. You don’t know how many people wish to obtain it.”

“What does your inheritance include?” Lu Yang looked at Everlasting Fairy skeptically.

“That’s a lot. I don’t need to mention spatial spells like Shrinking Earth into Inches and Miles in a Step, since you’ve already learned them.”

“Besides, I can teach you spells related to time!”

Lu Yang’s interest was piqued. Time-related spells were among the most treasured, and there were very few of them in the Dao Seeking Sect’s scripture library. Everlasting Fairy really did have something special.

“This spell is called Playing Dead. When you cast it, you can make yourself appear dead inside and out. You can even adjust the time freely, controlling the degree of the corpse’s decay to ensure no one can tell!”

“When you can’t beat an enemy, just play dead!” Everlasting Fairy seemed very experienced, leaving Lu Yang wondering how many times she had played dead.

Lu Yang suspected he was being assimilated by Everlasting Fairy, as he actually found her quite reliable.

“There’s also the Water Avoidance Charm, allowing you to freely enter lakes and oceans!”

Lu Yang’s interest was rekindled. Many powerful beings had fallen in battles, and their bodies and relics had ended up in lakes and oceans. Lakes and oceans were natural treasures. If one could go down, perhaps a great harvest awaited.

“However, remember to use the Water Avoidance Charm quickly, as it has a time limit.”

“What time limit?”

“My Water Avoidance Charm is very comprehensive. It not only repels the water around you but also the water in your body. If you use the Water Avoidance Charm for too long, you might die of dehydration.”

Lu Yang: “…You can keep your inheritance to gather dust.”

“Eh, why are you like this?!” Everlasting Fairy stomped her foot in frustration.

Outside, Qiu Jin’an turned his head, interrupting their conversation, and asked Everlasting Fairy: “Sect Master Lu seems to know a lot about ancient matters. I have some questions. May I seek guidance from Sect Master Lu?”

Qiu Jin’an did not look down on Lu Yang because of his age. Since the other was acting as the sect master, he treated Lu Yang with the respect due to someone of the same status.

Everlasting Fairy found Qiu Jin’an’s attitude agreeable: “Sure, but after I answer your question, you have to tell me where you got the book of Ying Tian Immortal.”

Lu Yang understood Everlasting Fairy’s intention. Having the book of Ying Tian Immortal meant that there was an ancient relic site. She wanted to search there for clues about herself and the ancient times.

“Agreed.” Qiu Jin’an consented.

“I heard that in ancient times, there was a divine being who could be beheaded without dying, using his own breasts as eyes and his navel as a mouth.”

“There was such a person.”

“I want to know, did he wear clothes?” Qiu Jin’an was very interested in such ancient legends.

Everlasting Fairy thought for a moment and said, “Usually, he didn’t wear any, bare-chested. But this also brought him some troubles.”

“For example, some big tribes are particular about attire, and those not properly dressed cannot enter. He, being bare-chested like a savage, couldn’t enter. But if he wore clothes, he would look like a masked robber, also not allowed in, facing a dilemma.”

“Later, he became smarter, fitted himself with a fake head, and wore clothes. Then, people couldn’t recognize him. However, one day he put his head on backwards, frightening the people around who thought his neck had been twisted and turned into a zombie, wandering in the streets.”
