Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 395: The Intruder in the Dao-Seeking Sect!
Chapter 395: The Intruder in the Dao-Seeking Sect!
As the first immortal chef of all time, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s creations were widely acclaimed as delicacies worthy of immortals.
As the second-in-command of the Everlasting Lineage, Lu Yang was fortunate that he didn’t obtain the immortal legacy and pioneered a unique set of cooking methods through sheer trial and error.
The duck he roasted could be called “Lu-Style Roast Duck.”
The Lu-Style Roast Duck was lustrous with a golden hue, emitting an aroma that assaulted the nostrils. Its skin was crispy, while the meat was succulent with a creamy beige. Each bite released a burst of oily juices that were rich and savory, lingering on the palate.
As the senior sister and junior brother slowly enjoyed the roasted duck, Lu Yang focused entirely on his meal, pointedly ignoring the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s pleas.
“Let me taste it!
“Come on, let me taste it! Just one bite!”
Watching Lu Yang’s blissful expression as he tucked into the roasted duck, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy wanted a taste. However, Lu Yang utterly disregarded her demands, making her stomp her feet in frustration.

When night fell, a dark figure silently appeared before the Dao-Seeking Sect’s entrance.
As the figure strode forward, the two disciples on duty at the gates didn’t seem to have noticed anything, allowing him to slip in.
After going through the gate, he arrived at the bamboo forest. Aware that the River Spirit watched over the place, he dared not be careless. Holding his breath, he gingerly proceeded into the Dao-Seeking Sect.
The dark figure seemed extremely familiar with the Dao-Seeking Sect’s layout, knowing where guards were stationed and how to evade detection. With a mysterious footwork, he carefully skirted the River Spirit’s surveillance range and reached the inner grounds of the Dao-Seeking Sect.
“Hmph, the Dao-Seeking Sect is nothing special!” The dark figure snorted, his eyes coldly glinting with contempt.
After he passed through the bamboo forest, a thick mist rose from the babbling stream, coalescing into the River Spirit, who wordlessly watched the dark figure fading into the distance.
Past the bamboo forest was the mountain peak where the Great Mission Hall was located, and it could be considered the gate to the inner sect.
The dark figure eyed the Great Mission Hall warily, his movements growing even more cautious.
“The purpose of infiltrating the Dao-Seeking Sect this time is to steal its untransmitted spells. This is a secret operation that no one must find out!
“Currently, Dai Bufan is the main overseer of the Great Mission Hall. With his mediocre cultivation and shallow jianghu experience, he’s far inferior to his shifu Qin Jiunian. There’s no way he’ll detect me.
“But I’m just afraid that the old codger Qin Jiunian is around. Although he is detestable, his cultivation is high, and he might sense my presence! I don’t think he’s around though. That old fellow is obsessed with constructing tombs and hardly shows up at the Great Mission Hall.”
The dark figure’s heart pounded wildly as he traversed through the mountain peak unopposed.
“My luck’s not bad. That old bastard Qin Jiunian isn’t around.”
With this hurdle cleared, the dark figure relaxed and brazenly moved about in the Dao-Seeking Sect. He was confident in his stealth arts. Even elder-level figures won’t be able to discover me!
And indeed, that was the case. He wandered freely like an invisible man, brushing past Divine Transfiguration and Void Refinement disciples without drawing any attention. Even when he strolled through the business district, he remained unnoticed. Despite the numerous veteran Fusion cultivators that lurked here, no one discovered the dark figure. One could only imagine the depth of his cultivation!
“Body Refinement Peak. This is the place. The eldest son of the Meng Family is right here!” The dark figure sneered as he boldly ascended Body Refinement Peak. “The Dao-Seeking Sect Old Three’s head is all brawn and no brains. A direct confrontation might be tricky, but against my stealth arts, that fellow is a far cry from me!”
Going through the spirit fields, the dark figure saw the Blue-Eyed Buffaloes tirelessly tilling the fields, and a trace of envy flickered in his eyes. The Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo race is indeed the most suitable for farming. The faction he belonged to had a wide stretch of spirit fields, but they didn’t have the help of Blue-Eyed Water Buffaloes.
“I remember that the Dao-Seeking Sect’s Old Three traveled to the Demon Region in his younger days and saved a Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo. In gratitude, that buffalo led his family to settle here in the Dao-Seeking Sect. Such a serendipitous encounter is hard to replicate.
“Here...no, here...no...” He only knew that the eldest son of the Meng Family resided at Body Refinement Peak, but not his specific location, so he could only comb through the cave abodes one by one.
“Found it! It’s here!”
The dark figure spotted the sleeping old horse and confirmed that this was Meng Jingzhou’s cave abode. A triumphant smirk played at the corner of his lips.
“The Meng Family really spares no expense. A Great Demon King as a bodyguard of the eldest son? Even the biological children of Transcendent Tribulation cultivators don’t receive such luxurious treatment,” he quietly exclaimed and bypassed the old horse, sneaking into Meng Jingzhou’s cave abode.
Meng Jingzhou was seated in the lotus position as he meditated, tempering his shadow, and was completely oblivious to his uninvited guest.
“Meng Family boy, wake up.”
The voice beside Meng Jingzhou’s ear startled him. I’ve already sealed the entrance to the cave, and the old horse is also on guard. How could someone have entered?!
“Who are you?!” Meng Jingzhou stared at the dark figure, on high alert. He felt that he was treading on the fine boundary between life and death. This intruder is definitely not from the Dao-Seeking Sect!
To have sneaked into the Dao-Seeking Sect undetected...even my shifu isn’t capable of that! How high must this person’s cultivation be?!
Who is he?
An enemy of the Dao-Seeking Sect who wants to get rid of me, the second-ranked talent of the younger generation?
An enemy of the Meng Family who wishes to use me as leverage against the Meng Family?
Or a common enemy of the Dao-Seeking Sect and the Meng Family who plans to abduct me and sabotage the relationship between the two?
With Meng Jingzhou’s intelligence, he quickly worked out three possible scenarios and almost closed in on the truth, roughly deducing the dark figure’s origin and aim.
“You don’t need to know who I am.” The dark figure’s gaze locked onto Meng Jingzhou, his tone sounding impatient. “Let me ask you, did you invent a set of fist techniques called ‘Single’s Curse Fist,’ the one that condemns anyone who gets hit to lifelong singleness?”
Meng Jingzhou had a peculiar expression. I’ve already braced myself for being kidnapped. Why did this person suddenly ask about this? He doesn’t seem to be an enemy of the Meng Family and the Dao-Seeking Sect...
“I did create the Single’s Curse Fist. But are you sure you have no grudge against the Dao-Seeking Sect?” Meng Jingzhou asked prudently. He couldn’t discern the dark figure’s identity and sought to stall for time, hoping the old horse would sense that something was amiss.
The dark figure laughed coldly, finding Meng Jingzhou’s question too ridiculous. “My grudge against the Dao-Seeking Sect doesn’t allow us to coexist under the same sky!” He shed his disguise, revealing a familiar face.
He fiercely growled, as if he bore a vendetta against the Dao-Seeking Sect. “How exactly do you cultivate the Single’s Curse Fist? Quick, teach me! Once I master it, I’ll give that bastard Old Two Ba two punches!
“That bastard picked up some tricks from who knows where, and he’s been praising my mom for being smart and beautiful every day!”
Meng Jingzhou, “...”
You’re the almighty leader of the Five-Elements Sect... Do you honestly have to go this far?
