Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 103: It Seems Like We’ve Gotten the Correct Immortal Name

The old horse was very lucky to be found before it promised a lifetime with the little brown mare. Meng Jingzhou paid the money as he collected the old horse and the carriage.

“No, no, no, it doesn’t cost so much to stay at a stable,” the servant boy declined.

“What about the money for the feed? Don’t you want that?” Meng Jingzhou was puzzled. The old horse has long finished the premium fodder, so I thought that it would have no choice but to eat ordinary fodder out of hunger.

The servant boy shook his head. “Your horse didn’t eat anything.”

“Hmm?” Meng Jingzhou was bemused. He stroked the old horse’s mane and asked, “You managed to fast?”

The old horse snorted loudly but didn’t reply. After all, how could a horse speak?

Meng Jingzhou summoned his inner fierceness to threaten the horse, “If you don’t reply, there’ll be no more fodder for you!”

One man and one horse were at a stalemate for a long time. The old horse never replied to him, and Meng Jingzhou eventually admitted defeat as he pieced some things together.

No wonder it went without a hitch when I left my home back then. Even my younger sister knows that I was leaving home, which means that the others at home must have known too, yet no one stopped me and were unconcerned about my safety. Excluding the possibility that I’m not their biological child, the only explanation is that they knew I would be safe.

Now, the answer is clear—the horse pulling the carriage is the greatest assurance. I wonder what the old horse’s cultivation is. It should be quite high to be able to protect me.

Meng Jingzhou grumbled, “If you’re so strong, why didn’t you stop Big Senior Sister from boarding the carriage back then?”

Meng Jingzhou still remembered how he had foolishly treated Yun Zhi as a candidate, inviting her into the carriage and revealing that he had obtained the examination questions for entering the Dao-Seeking Sect.

That was utterly embarrassing, so much so that I felt like running all the way to my grandma’s house to hide. If only the old horse had stopped Big Senior Sister from getting on, none of all those would have happened!

The old horse gave Meng Jingzhou the side-eye, as if the latter was a fool.

Before Lu Yang departed, he paid a visit to Constable Captain Wei, who was not surprised that the trio were leaving. Which cultivator would really run a barbeque shop for life? It was just for the experience. Once the novelty wears off, they will close the shop.

Captain Wei lamented, “What a pity, I won’t get to enjoy such delicious barbeque anymore. I was even hoping to catch criminals at your barbeque shop until I rise to the position of Chief Constable.” Captain Wei estimated that if he could arrest three more diabolic cultivators, he could finally get promoted to Chief Constable. “It’s not a bad thing that you’re leaving. Things in Yanjiang Commandery likely won’t be peaceful for a bit.”

“What do you mean?”

Captain Wei whispered, “You mustn’t tell this to anyone else.”

“I know that.”

Captain Wei had faith in Lu Yang’s character. “You know Commandery Governor Li, right? There are currently rumors that he had colluded with diabolic cultivators to get promoted. Whether it was with rogue diabolic cultivators or someone from a diabolic creed remains uncertain, but the other party’s cultivation was definitely high enough to have collaborated with Commandery Governor Li.

“Commandery Governor Li’s corpse was discovered on Pine Mountain. Chief Constable Fang suspects that there was a conflict of interest between the diabolic cultivators and Commandery Governor Li which resulted in his death, while the diabolic cultivators remain at large. This implies that their cultivation was higher than Commandery Governor Li’s. Commandery Governor Li is only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage. Just think about how high the diabolic cultivators’ cultivation must be!”

Lu Yang recoiled slightly. “What vicious diabolic cultivators!”

“That’s why I said that it’s not a bad thing that you’re leaving. Yanjiang Commandery may seem peaceful, but you never know where diabolic cultivators are hiding. For all we know, they may be right beside us!”

Lu Yang fully agreed with him. “Indeed.”

Man Gu reluctantly bid farewell to the barbeque shop. In the end, the splendor of the Man Family’s barbeque can’t be brought to new heights in my generation.

The two tiger-henchman ghosts were dancing in ecstasy, celebrating their freedom from having to barbecue day and night.

Before their departure, Tang Yunsheng saw the trio off, reminding them that infiltrating the Dao-Seeking Sect would be fraught with obstacles and that they must be cautious.

Lu Yang reassured him, “Don’t worry, we are not planning to disappoint the creed. We will definitely infiltrate the Dao-Seeking Sect, steal their secrets, and bring glory to the Everlasting Creed.”

The old horse pulled the carriage unhurriedly, appearing to move at a leisurely pace, but it was in fact covering immense distance. This involved profound knowledge of space.

The three chatted about the Everlasting Immortal on board the carriage.

“Look, the notebook even has our names: Everlasting Immortal Lu Yang, Everlasting Immortal Meng Jingzhou, Everlasting Immortal Mangu.” Lu Yang laughed. Seeing his name in the diabolic creed’s notebook was quite the amusing thing.

He could find the names of all the people he knew in the notebook, indicating that the diabolic creed was assiduous in reviving the Everlasting Immortal.

“Say, what do you think the Everlasting Immortal’s real name is? Mendeleev? Socrates?”

Meng Jingzhou giggled. “Maybe it’s a vulgar name like Dog Egg or Dog something? They were too embarrassed to say their name out loud, so they hid it and only used an honorific title.”

“It could also be a name from our Barbarian Tribe.”

The trio lacked any form of reverence for the Everlasting Immortal. They tossed Tang Yunsheng’s instructions about the one-month interval between guessing the names to the back of their minds, casually throwing out guesses.

“Tone it down a bit, guys. What if we actually guess the name correctly?” Lu Yang warned. It’s still uncertain whether the Everlasting Immortal is a friend or a foe. The Everlasting Creed’s one-sided claim of the Everlasting Immortal protecting humanity also can’t be fully trusted.

“How about this? Let’s call the ‘Everlasting Immortal’ as the ‘Everlasting Immortal Fairy’ from now on. That way, even if we guess the correct name, the Everlasting Immortal can’t get resurrected,” Lu Yang proposed.

“I agree, Lu Yang has a point.” Meng Jingzhou raised his hand in approval.

Man Gu thought, I have to give it to Brother Lu for being so thorough.

After the carriage had traveled for a while, the trio began to feel hungry. They alighted at a grove, planning to eat something.

The grove shielded them from the irksome sunlight. The atmosphere was tranquil, and faint birdsongs could be heard from the distance, easing one into relaxation.

Meng Jingzhou laid out a picnic cloth, Lu Yang took out pots, bowls, and utensils along with fire-starting talismans, while Man Gu summoned the tiger-henchman ghosts.

The two tiger-henchman ghosts had just been unemployed for half a day when Man Gu summoned them back. They returned to their old profession, skilfully barbecuing.

Meng Jingzhou fished out a cookbook and a bunch of bottles and jars, pushing them all to the two tiger-henchman ghosts. “Don’t barbecue anymore. Let's change up the flavor. Come, follow this cookbook.”

Lu Yang and Man Gu cast sidelong glances at him. Why do you bring a cookbook around with you?

The two tiger-henchman ghosts could only start learning from scratch, planning to begin with the simplest scrambled eggs. Despite not working hard when they were alive, they had to study diligently now that they are dead.

The three had no intention of ingesting Fasting Pills at all. If we can enjoy delicious food, why do we have to resort to things like Fasting Pills?

Lu Yang asked, “Tang Yunsheng speculated that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was from the Barbarian Tribe. Are there related legends from the Ancient Barbarian Tribe?”

Man Gu shook his head. “I heard from the elders about how the Ancient Barbarian Tribe fought against heaven and earth and were capable of battling immortals, but never have I heard of an immortal ever being born in our tribe.

“The ruins are also very strange. If it records the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s greatness, why didn’t it include their name along with it?”

Meng Jingzhou analyzed logically, “Think about it. During the ancient times, everyone had imposing titles and names, and they would report their names prior to battles. If the Everlasting Immortal Fairy just came up and introduced themselves as “I am the Everlasting Immortal, Li Dog Egg, wait, I mean, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy Li Dog Egg, they would have lost in grandeur even before the battle began! The Everlasting Immortal Fairy would definitely want to erase this kind of embarrassing blemish from their past!”

Lu Yang laughed. “It could also be that the name was too cute and not intimidating at all, something like the ‘Everlasting Immortal Fairy Huang Doudou.” [1]

The words ‘Everlasting Immortal Fairy Huang Doudou’ seemed to have triggered a cosmic secret, causing a shift in the fabric of heaven and earth. An incomprehensible power swirled above the trio and formed a silhouette.

The old horse instantly became vigilant, positioning itself in front of Meng Jingzhou protectively as it stared fixedly at the power in the air.

The three swallowed nervously.

Uh oh, it looks like things have spiraled out of control.

1. Huang Doudou translates literally to ‘yellow bean bean.’ Names with repeated characters also tend to sound cuter. ☜
