Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 345: Even Big Senior Sister Is Not My Match!

“You can’t say it like that. This is called making reasonable use of legal provisions,” Eighth Elder declared with conviction. “Besides, I never expected the other party to expose themselves as rogue diabolic cultivators just to get the authorities to catch me!”

Lu Yang couldn’t help but be curious about how Eighth Elder had scammed them and driven them to the point of disregarding their identities so that they could report him to the authorities.

Normally, diabolic cultivators avoid the authorities like the plague.

Sixth Elder didn’t dwell too long on this topic. “Enough. I’m not here to discuss who you had scammed. We need your help with something related to talismans.”

Tao Yaoye shot Lu Yang an innocent look, which the latter understood immediately. See? You can’t blame me for associating Eighth Elder with swindling. The moment we met, he himself admitted that he scams people.

“You should have said so earlier! Talismans are my specialty!” Eighth Elder laughed heartily. “What type? Offensive? Defensive? Quantity? Senior Sister, just name it, and I can deliver!

“Transcendent Tribulation and Half-Immortal tiers are challenging, but Fusion-tier talismans are no problem.”

Sixth Elder shook her head. “We don’t need such high-tier talismans. My disciple has an idea that requires you to realize it through talismans.”

Eighth Elder looked at Tao Yaoye with interest. “Do share.”

Tao Yaoye recounted her discussion with Lu Yang once again.

Eighth Elder’s eyes lit up, finding Tao Yaoye pleasing to the eye. “What a novel idea! Are you interested in becoming my disciple? From what I see, you don’t seem to be studying your Metamorphic Immortal Physique much, probably because you don’t wish to focus on that. In that case, you don’t have to follow Senior Sister anymore. Your illusions are perfect for joining me in deceiving people.”

Such quick-witted minds are suited to be under my tutelage.

He also knew that Lu Yang was quick-witted, but he dared not poach anyone from Yun Zhi.

Tao Yaoye was startled, vowing inwardly to devote herself to researching her Immortal Physique right upon returning. Lest Shifu loses her mind one day and asks me to become Eighth Elder’s disciple instead.

“Enough, Eighth Junior Brother, don’t scare her anymore. Let’s talk about the talismans. Can you make them?”

Eighth Elder stroked his chin and grinned. “Senior Sister, how could you not trust me? Creating these talismans isn’t anything difficult. I can draw them with a flick of my wrist.”

Lu Yang added two more requests. “Preferably mass-producible and affordable.

“And harmless to mortals.”

Overpowering illusions could leave mortals disoriented even after they broke free from the illusions, leaving them unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Eighth Elder showed a troubled expression. “Making it harmless to mortals is easy. But mass production will be tricky.

“I’m not sure how much you understand about talismans, but they have never been successfully mass-produced, not even the lowest-tier Ultra-Strength Talismans.

“A few fellow daoists and I have researched this problem. Our initial idea was to print talismans with diaoban carved printing blocks[1] like how banknotes are printed. That way, the price of talismans can be reduced drastically.”

The fellow daoists who could discuss talismans with Eighth Elder were naturally top-tier experts in talismans themselves.

“Later, we concluded that it wouldn’t work. Drawing talismans requires every brush and stroke to be infused with the Three Treasures—essence, qi, and consciousness. Just this alone has stumped ninety percent of aspiring talisman cultivators. Moreover, the requirements for printing talismans with diaoban carved printing blocks were even higher. One would need to infuse the Three Treasures into the crevices of the template all at once.

“While it was possible for talisman cultivators, those who could pull it off were so few that mass production wasn’t feasible.

“We even considered whether we could let puppets create talismans. But puppets lack essence, qi, and consciousness, so it was impossible for them to create talismans.

“In short, we brainstormed many methods, but every attempt failed, and this matter was shelved.

“Junior Niece Tao’s illusory domains last between one and two hours, which is considered a large-scale illusory domain. High-tier talismans can achieve this, but they can’t be mass-produced.”

Lu Yang fell into deep thought. Due to having no prior knowledge of talismans, he hadn’t expected to face such a complication. Suddenly, an idea struck him. “I recall that arrays can also induce illusions. What if we combine talismans with arrays?”

Eighth Elder gave an affirmative, though he was quite surprised. After some brief mental calculations, he realized that this approach was potentially viable.

“Great idea! If we simplify both talismans and arrays to Qi Training talismans and arrays before combining them, it should work! With this simplified version, even Qi Training cultivators can produce them!

“I’m not adept at arrays, so I’ll have to consult Second Brother. You can go back first and wait for our results!” Eighth Elder acted on his words right away, dashing toward the herb garden. fгeewebnovёl.com

Right then, Lu Yang heard Yun Zhi’s auditory message.

“You can come back. The cultivation technique is ready.”

Lu Yang was delighted. Big Senior Sister’s efficiency in writing cultivation techniques is as high as ever. It has only been a few hours, and she has already finished writing.

~~~

Gingerly approaching the foot of Heaven’s Gate Peak, Lu Yang verified that the puppet wasn’t waiting for him at the entrance before ascending with a peace of mind. Along the way, Lu Yang was vigilant for potential ambushes from the puppet. Fortunately, it was smooth sailing; the puppet didn’t confront him.

Arriving at the summit, he saw Yun Zhi quietly sitting at the stone table and enjoying the tea. The incredibly docile puppet was pouring tea for Yun Zhi, a stark contrast to its usual attitude toward Lu Yang.

A brand new cultivation technique lay on the stone table. It was precisely the Golden Core Chapter of the Clear Heart True Nature Mantra.

“Try cultivating with it. I’ve made revisions to some parts based on your original work.”

Lu Yang looked like he had gained a priceless treasure. As expected of Big Senior Sister—far more reliable than the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy constantly pesters me about teaching me the Play-Dead Technique, unlike Big Senior Sister, who writes cultivation techniques for me.

The handwriting reflected Yun Zhi’s character—neat, pretty, and icy.

Since the cultivation technique was written based on Lu Yang’s thinking framework, he grasped its contents quickly. After poring over it twice, he had already committed it to memory and was ready to circulate energy through his Cosmic Loops.

Following the theories, Lu Yang concentrated his consciousness into a single strand of spirit qi, guiding it to circulate within his body in a regular pattern.

Soon, he completed a Macrocosmic Loop, marking his successful initiation into the cultivation technique.

Hubris swelled within Lu Yang. “I’m truly a rare genius through the ages. I’m the strongest in existence!” He felt that cultivation was as effortless as breathing and that no one could compare to his talent.

His gaze drifted to Yun Zhi, who was serenely sipping her tea.

Even Big Senior Sister is not my match!

“Wait, that’s not right!” No matter how dull his senses were, he still noticed that something was wrong with him.

How suicidal I must be to entertain such illogical notions like “Even Big Senior Sister is not my match!”

It’s the Unbeatable Golden Core! It has imbued me with the confidence of being unbeatable, but I could usually suppress such thoughts with logic. However, the Clear Heart True Nature Mantra has amplified its effects, making me believe I’m unbeatable in the world!

Lu Yang couldn’t stop his body from charging toward Yun Zhi. The Unbeatable Golden Core was even blaring warnings to refrain from such actions.

“PLEASE COMMIT SUICIDE IMMEDIATELY TO MAINTAIN A 100% WIN RATE.

“PLEASE COMMIT SUICIDE IMMEDIATELY TO MAINTAIN A 100% WIN RATE.”

The Unbeatable Golden Core blabbered endlessly to request that Lu Yang maintain its guaranteed victory rate.

Yun Zhi lifted her eyelid, realizing that she had overlooked this unique characteristic of the Unbeatable Golden Core when writing this cultivation technique.

Fortunately, Lu Yang had seen his fair share of storms and adversity, reacting swiftly in this critical moment.

“Scatter Dou-Beans For Soldiers!”

He forcibly transferred control of his body to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, who was watching the spectacle.

“Eh? Eh??”

Color drained from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s face. I was just watching the spectacle. Why have I become the spectacle myself?

Controlling Lu Yang’s uncontrollable body, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy attacked Yun Zhi and was sent flying through the air with a finger.

Lu Yang successfully upheld his unblemished track record of being undefeated.

1. You might have heard that the Chinese invented printing, so this is how the diaoban looked like in the early days of printing. ☜
