Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 157: How Did the Five-Elements Sect Lose Last Time?

After the meeting with Tang Yunsheng, Yun Zhi said nothing on the way back to the Dao-Seeking Sect. Perhaps it was because she deemed it unnecessary to trouble herself over such a matter and had decided to delegate full authority to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Lu Yang.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu also didn’t ask anything. They felt that nothing could possibly go wrong with Yun Zhi bringing up the rear.

Upon returning to the Dao-Seeking Sect, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy focused on drawing out the arrangements for the reception.

“Speeches by the sect leaders during the welcoming ceremony...so troublesome. Lu Yang, do you know how to write this? If you can help me, I’ll teach you an immortal spell.” Sensing a headache coming on, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy sought assistance from her capable assistant, Lu Yang.

Lu Yang chuckled awkwardly. “You can forget it if you want to teach me the culinary compendium.”

“Brat, watch your words! What’s wrong with my cooking skills?!”

Lu Yang simply rolled his eyes, expressing his firm stance on this matter.

Out of options, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy would only hunker down and write it herself. After expending much effort and time, she forced herself to come up with two lines. “We would like to warmly welcome the Five-Elements Sect. Everyone is free to move around.”

Lu Yang acquiesced, “...Never mind, I’ll help you write it.” He was compelled to help; otherwise, he would be the one embarrassed when the time came.

“Really?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s eyes twinkled. She handed the matter of the speech over to Lu Yang, while she shifted her attention to ideas on what food to serve.

“This is my first time organizing such a large event, so it needs to be more grand! To show how much I value this event, I shall personally cook the meals!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was imbued with fighting spirit. My culinary skills are comparable to a Transcendent Tribulation spirit chef, so I, Huang Doudou, have to demonstrate it to the world!

The bar was extremely low for Lu Yang. He only prayed that her skills wouldn’t be comparable to a Transcendent Tribulation poison cultivator.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy even designed a proposal to deal with the Everlasting Creed. “As my followers, it’s one thing if they don’t help me, but they still dare to cause trouble! None of them will escape!”

After working hard the whole day, they finally drafted the event proposal for Yun Zhi to review.

~~~

Yun Zhi didn’t raise any objections, simply commenting that it was acceptable. “From today onward, Senior, you will be the acting sect leader of the Dao-Seeking Sect. I have informed the eight elders, and they have agreed to cooperate with Lu Yang’s work.”

After all, the elders were not aware of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence.

And thus, Lu Yang summoned the eight elders to discuss the flow of the welcoming ceremony.

~~~

“Am I the sect leader or is she the sect leader?” Lu Yang felt that he had also put in considerable work.

“What is there to be dissatisfied about? If it weren’t for me, would you even have the chance to redeem the “Dao-Seeking Sect Leader One-Day Experience” vouchers? I am benevolent to bestow you with a fortuitous opportunity, I mean, an immortal opportunity!

“In ancient times, everyone wanted to be a leader. The other immortals controlled at least tens of thousands of stars, and this doesn’t even include the mineral stars, gravity stars, dead stars, and other stars with various uses! They fought violently in their quest to conquer more stars, and I had to mediate the dispute several times!”

“So how many life stars did you control?”

“One.”

“...And why did you only have one?”

“I’m just not good at managing people. It was only because the other four immortals told me that it was embarrassing for immortals not to have their own territory and forcefully gave me a star. Only then did I reluctantly accept it.

“After receiving the star, I found a cultivator with strong management skills to oversee the star. I would just head to the mortal realm occasionally to check on how it’s doing.”

Lu Yang asked, “So what did you do after becoming an immortal?”

“Shopping, visiting friends, cooking, and sleeping,” she listed.

“So are you human or a lazy salted fish[1] demon spirit?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was unhappy. “Have you ever seen such a beautiful salted fish demon spirit?!”

“I have now,” Lu Yang muttered.

“I also often follow the four of them secretly to keep an eye on their actions and scope of activities.”

Lu Yang thought to himself, It finally feels somewhat like the ancient Great Era. Is she trying to ambush them to reduce the number of immortals?

He asked, “What were you planning to do?”

“I was trying to avoid running into them. For instance, when I attended auctions, some arrogant and ignorant person would brag about being the son of some tribe chief and claim that competing with him would be a form of disrespect to his tribe. At that moment, I’d stand up and reveal my identity as an immortal, scaring him until he trembles like a leaf.

“Alternatively, two tribes might be in conflict, and I would step in to mediate. Since both parties don’t know me, they would point at me in contempt and say, ‘Who do you think you are?’ Then, I would release my aura waves as an immortal, and it would work wonders. Both sides invited me to their tribes as a guest.

“Perhaps someone could also have provoked me and I had sent them flying with a palm strike. He would find his backer, and his backer would find an army to surround me. At this moment, their ancestor would recognize my identity and exclaim, ‘You...you are the Everlasting Immortal Fairy!’ Then, he would fall to his knees with a thud and beseech me for my forgiveness.

“Based on my experience, in such cases, having only one immortal present would have the best effect.”

Lu Yang’s eyelids twitched. The Immortal Fairy’s life as an immortal is really enriching and exciting. She can’t be a salted fish demon spirit.

While the two were speaking, the eight elders had walked in one after another. Lu Yang paid particular attention to Eighth Elder; this was his first time meeting him.

“We pay our respects to the acting sect leader.” The eight elders bowed.

“Come on, let me preside over the meeting!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shoved Lu Yang to one side and occupied his body.

This is precisely the reason I wanted to be the sect leader! It’s because of exciting moments like this!

“Dear subjects, please rise,” she announced.

Lu Yang wanted to cover his face. I shouldn’t have called out the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s real name back then. I had thought that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy would be a golden finger and my cheat, but now, I’ve realized that the things she does best are recounting embarrassing stories from ancient times and embarrassing me.

The eight elders were somewhat unaccustomed to Lu Yang’s current demeanor. However, once they remembered that he was the Taciturn Daoist Priest’s disciple, all the dots seemed to be connected.

“Acting sect leader, let me pour you some tea.” A cold and familiar voice from behind frightened the Everlasting Immortal Fairy such that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Yun Zhi carried a teapot and poured some tea, her posture impeccable and making everyone marvel at how she was perfect in everything she did. When she bent down, she cast a cold glance at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, who hurriedly nodded to acknowledge that she would behave and not stir up any trouble.

The whole exchange didn’t even require them to use their spiritual consciousness; only their eyes were enough.

With the Everlasting Immortal Fairy now obedient, she cleared her throat and said, “As all of you should already know, the Five-Elements Sect will be visiting our sect the day after tomorrow. I have summoned everyone here for this reason. What are your thoughts on this matter?”

First Elder was the most composed. “Visitors with hostile intentions.”

“Why do you say that?”

“The Five-Elements Sect has already visited us once. According to customs, we should be visiting them in return, yet they went against the customs to come knocking on our door again. There is only one explanation. They want to wash away their past humiliation and defeat us on our home turf!”

This was something the Everlasting Immortal Fairy hadn’t considered. “In that case, what does everyone think we should do?”

Second Elder made a gesture across his throat. “We can ambush them on the road, cover their heads, and give them a beating so that they voluntarily back out! Don’t worry, I have experience. I leave no loose ends, so they can’t trace it back to me.”

The other elders nodded in agreement.

“I have long found the Five-Elements Sect an eyesore. After they lost the previous time, they even claimed that the Dao-Seeking Sect was not part of the five elements! What nonsense is that!”

“Take them down! Show them who’s boss! Let them see how powerful the Dao-Seeking Sect is!”

“That brat Old Qiu has changed ever since he became the sect leader. I reckon he’s forgotten the consequences of provoking the Dao-Seeking Nine when he was young!”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was intrigued. “How did the Five-Elements Sect lose last time?”

Eighth Elder replied, “Oh, it’s very simple. The last time they came over, they said that elders cannot intervene in the contest between disciples. They suggested having a match between the best disciples of both sects.”

“And then?”

“And then Little Yun stepped forth.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy immediately turned to look at the expressionless Yun Zhi. I almost forgot that you are also considered a disciple.

First Elder sighed, “Perhaps Little Yun was so strong that Old Qiu forgot she isn’t from our generation but Old Nine’s disciple.”
