Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 118: The Everlasting Immortal Fairy Awakens

After dinner, Yun Zhi asked, “Did Dai Bufan give you some contribution points for your undercover mission?”

“Yes, quite a few.” Lu Yang was pleased as he had the most contribution points among the peers of his cohort.

“Three days from now, the sect will organize a marketplace which most people will attend. You can go and check it out if you’re interested. You might find something you like.”

Lu Yang nodded. He had long heard that exchange of items within the sect would take place in the form of a marketplace. In the past, Yun Zhi hadn’t allowed Lu Yang to participate in such events so that he could focus on cultivation. Now that Lu Yang was at the Foundation Establishment Stage and made some progress in his cultivation, she saw no need to intervene as much.

The Dao-Seeking Sect held a marketplace every three months, allowing for barter trade, purchases with contribution points, eating, drinking, and merrymaking.

The disciples traveled to all corners of the world to carry out their missions and would often encounter local specialties and various novelties. After obtaining them, some chose to keep them for personal use, while some opted to take them to the marketplace to exchange for things they needed.

Yun Zhi exhorted, “Also, Shifu is currently sitting in deep meditation, so don’t go to him for a while.”

That came off as puzzling for Lu Yang. I wasn’t planning to visit Shifu. In any case, he will definitely come out in three days. “Oh.” Regardless, nothing can go wrong by listening to Big Senior Sister.

Three days later, the marketplace kicked off as scheduled.

An arena platform had been set up for the disciples to spar freely. It was crafted from a special type of rock that was indestructible, and it was even enveloped in an array to ensure that the battles wouldn’t spill over and affect the spectators.

Two Golden Core senior male disciples were fighting it out in the arena. Their golden cores were full and flawless and resembled the beauty of nature, evidently high-grade golden cores the world sought after but rarely attained.

“Moon Shattering Slash!” one of them shouted, wielding a broad saber shaped like a crescent moon as he hacked it down with sheer brute force, a scene that made Lu Yang’s eyelids twitch.

If Branch Leader Chu had similar strength to this senior brother, it would have been disastrous for us.

The other senior male disciple was not to be outdone, emanating a golden light that coated his body with a layer of golden membrane. “Buddhist Golden Body!” He had somehow learned the Buddhist Golden Body with some degree of success and managed to withstand the blade.

The mesmerizing display of saber techniques and spells was remarkable while the two disciples switched between them seamlessly. Lu Yang watched with rapt attention; it was a rare opportunity to witness a battle between two top-tier Golden Core experts.

However, Lu Yang had seen an even higher-level battle where a formidable cultivator clashed with an immortal. Perhaps Yun Zhi’s palm technique was too fierce, so the just awakened Everlasting Immortal Fairy stood no chance, and it could be said to have been a one-sided battle—Lu Yang didn’t learn anything at all.

“The Everlasting Immortal Fairy is unreliable,” Lu Yang sighed. If I could master even half a move from Big Senior Sister, wouldn’t I be unmatched at my rank?

“Wait, Big Senior Sister taught me Shrinking Earth To Inches and Three Esse True Fire.”

“Kid, I advise you to watch your words! What do you mean I’m unreliable?!” A woman’s voice rang out in Lu Yang’s mind.

“Senior, you’re awake?” Lu Yang exclaimed in surprise. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy slept for a few days, and now she’s finally awake?

“Calling me senior doesn’t sound too bad,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy remarked lazily.

Lu Yang could imagine her stretching herself after just waking up.

“Let me tell you, I’m currently far from my peak and still need time to recover slowly. That person called Yun Zhi can only beat me now. Once I regain my strength, I’ll defeat her with just one hand,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy declared fiercely. In ancient times, I, Huang Doudou, commanded the wind and clouds, so how could I lose to a junior?

Lu Yang pondered for a bit and thought that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy made a valid point. “I’ll relay that to Big Senior Sister truthfully.”

“Wait wait wait! We can talk this out,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s tone immediately deflated.

Lu Yang asked, “...Senior, so are you reliable or not?”

Logically, with an ancient immortal’s soul within me, I should be unstoppable and able to crush all opponents, encounter bountiful fortuitous opportunities rolling in, level up as easily as drinking water, become invincible among my peers, and slay opponents beyond my level. All of this would be a cinch.

But the Everlasting Immortal Fairy just gives off an unreliable feeling. I might as well quickly latch onto Big Senior Sister’s thigh and curry favor with her.

“Hmph, who do you think I am? I’m the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, Huang Doudou!”

“Why do I remember you referring to yourself as ‘this esteemed one?’” Lu Yang still remembered how arrogant the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was previously.

The Everlasting Immortal fell silent for a moment before repeating, “This esteemed one is the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, Huang Doudou... No, that’s too awkward.” She tried to explain, “The main thing is that I heard from others that referring to myself as ‘this esteemed one’ will make me sound very impressive. When I just woke up, my brain wasn’t functioning properly, so I wanted to try it out, but I now find it too strange. I shall just refer to myself as ‘I.’”

That piqued Lu Yang’s curiosity. “Who did you hear it from?”

“Transcendent Tribulation cultivators and immortals, you name it. It’s not easy to cultivate to the highest realm, so everyone would refrain from combat if possible, but how then would they know who’s stronger or weaker? Hence, someone started the trend of speaking very arrogantly to intimidate others.

“After that, everyone found this method of speaking to be a good idea, so they would frequently say things like ‘This esteemed one was born as mandated by Heaven,’ ‘Those who defy this immortal shall be slain,’ ‘How dare mortals defy immortals,’ ‘This esteemed one bears tremendous power, don’t force this esteemed one to undo my seal.’

“Let me think, who started it... Oh right, it was the Heaven Mandate Immortal!

“At that time, I thought the way they spoke was quite interesting, so I recorded everything they said and compiled it into a booklet called Immortals’ Quotes. I don’t know where that booklet has gone now.”

Lu Yang, “...”

I think I have found the reason for the Everlasting Immortal Fairy getting backstabbed.

“Let me demonstrate what an immortal is capable of so that you won’t think I got here by sheer luck.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy deemed it necessary to showcase some of her true power to earn Lu Yang’s admiration and respect.

“Come, give me control of your body. I’ll let you experience what it feels like to battle beyond your level.”

Since they were in the Dao-Seeking Sect’s territory, Lu Yang wasn’t afraid that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy would seize this opportunity to take over his body, so he willingly relinquished control.

At the moment, there was no one in the arena. Controlling Lu Yang’s body, the Everlasting Immortal stepped into the arena and cupped her fists as she addressed the crowd, “Dear elders and heroic friends, I have gained some comprehension in my cultivation today. May I know if there is any Basic Golden Core senior brother or sister willing to come up to offer me some guidance?”

She then explained to Lu Yang, “The ancient prodigies were just like this, provoking the crowd and counting on their own fists to establish a resounding reputation and laying the foundation for their path to invincibility. I’ll demonstrate it once today. Make sure to learn!”

“I’ll do it!” A bald senior male disciple leaped onto the stage, radiating golden light of merit[1] from head to toe.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy drew in a cold breath of air. Premier-grade golden core, fortified with merit, the embodiment of Arhat,[2] and a basic mastery of the Immeasurable Golden Body. How am I going to fight him? With my head?

“So-someone else, please”

The bald male disciple wasn’t offended, simply laughing as he jumped off the stage while another Confucian cultivator male disciple leaped onto the platform. He donned gray robes and held a bamboo book, wearing an unruffled smile.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stiffened again. A natural Confucian cultivator, blessed by almighty beings, speaks words imbued with laws, and wields supreme treasures in hand. How do I fight him?

“Someone else, please!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy gritted her teeth.

“I’ll do it.” After the Confucian cultivator male disciple left the arena, a down-to-earth, stout senior male disciple took the stage.

In one glance, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy could tell that his core contained the five qi and was considered to be a first-tier high-grade core. Not only was he endowed with fortune and protected by his bloodline, his cultivation technique was also top-notch. There was not a single flaw with him that she could discern.

Only then did the Everlasting Immortal Fairy realize that she couldn’t defeat any of the Golden Core cultivators present.
