Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 396: Take My Fist!

Qiu Jin’an was the helm of one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, the sect leader of the Five-Elements Sect, and an influential figure with real power in the Central Continent. With a single command, he could mobilize the entire Five-Elements Sect, enough to affect the state of the world.

The Five-Elements Sect embodied the concept of the five elements. Any elemental spell could be found within the sect. Beyond that, the sect amassed other spells. The scale of its scripture library was on par with even the imperial family.

Yet, to preserve his seniority, this very person had endured humiliation for the greater goal, secretly sneaked into the enemy’s territory, and was not ashamed to lower himself to learn spells from a disciple of the enemy’s camp—Meng Jingzhou held deep respect for such a spirit and dedication.

Meng Jingzhou pondered, retracing how his fist technique had been exposed. It was likely during the Qing Province Grand Ceremony. I had mentioned it offhand to Yan Tianzhi, Bai Ming, and the others. Bai Ming had probably never seen a fist technique like this before and consulted his shifu, Qiu Jin’an.

Once he heard of such a fist technique, he came straight over.

Everything makes sense now.

As the leader of the Five-Elements Sect, Qiu Jin’an’s cultivation went without saying; even the elders might not be his match in a one-on-one duel. He had effortlessly slipped into the Dao-Seeking Sect. No matter how high the old horse’s cultivation was, it couldn’t surpass the sect leader of an immortal sect.

Meng Jingzhou wore a complicated expression. Right now, he had one good and one bad piece of news.

The good news was that his personal safety was assured.

The bad news was that he didn’t know how to teach the Single’s Curse Fist.

“Sect Leader Qiu, it’s not that I don’t want to teach you; it’s just that I genuinely have no idea how. The Single’s Curse Fist is a technique of my Single’s Spirit Root lineage and contains thick resentment. It was because of my Double Single’s Golden Core that I comprehended this fist technique.”

Qiu Jin’an stared at Meng Jingzhou silently. As expected of the eldest son of the Meng Family and a disciple of the Dao-Seeking Sect, he is a bold one. It’s my first time hearing of someone forming two Single’s Golden Cores.

Such a do-or-die mentality is worthy of respect.

After a moment of contemplation, he replied, “I didn’t know that was the case. Show me the technique first.”

Meng Jingzhou dared not go against Qiu Jin’an. His two Single’s Golden Cores spun and formed a vortex of qi in his dantian, channeling spirit energy through his body. “Hyah! Hah!”

Meng Jingzhou’s fists vigorously tore through the air with terrifying fist seals. Even disregarding the curse’s effect, the sheer power of his fist seals alone could contend for supremacy among Golden Core cultivators.

Qiu Jin’an keenly sensed the curse’s power embedded within the fist seals. It can indeed curse people to eternal singleness.

“Truly an innate Buddhist spawn.” He felt that if Meng Jingzhou had joined a Buddhist sect, he would have become an arhat.

Although those with a Single’s Spirit Root are not suited to become members of Buddhist sects, that’s only under the premise that remaining single is involuntary.

This Meng boy is different. His remaining single is voluntary. Look, he even formed two Single’s Golden Cores to prove his resolve.

Meng Jingzhou finished his demonstration and patiently waited for Qiu Jin’an’s critique.

Qiu Jin’an was placed in a tough spot. Meng Jingzhou hadn’t lied; the core of the fist technique lay in the Single’s Golden Core, and only those with a Single’s Spirit Root could master it.

“Should I imitate a Single’s Golden Core?” He ruminated carefully. The Single’s Spirit Root is a variant of a Metal Spirit Root. With my power of the five elements, imitating a Single’s Spirit Root and a Single’s Golden Core wouldn’t be difficult.

But with the Single’s Spirit Root’s reputation, I don’t dare to be reckless—what if I can’t return to normal after imitating it?

No, it’s too risky. I need to find another solution.

What if I have the Meng boy give Old Two Ba a punch?

No, his cultivation is too low; the curse’s effect is useless against Old Two Ba.

I’ve got it! I can borrow his body to execute the fist technique! That way, I don’t have to care about that Meng boy’s cultivation; it’ll be equivalent to me unleashing the fist technique!

Finding it a good idea, Qiu Jin’an proposed it to Meng Jingzhou. “Meng Family boy, how about lending me your body? Once the deed is done, I’ll impart my cultivation insights! You can also choose one of the Five-Elements Sect’s untransmitted spells! I guarantee you’ll master it as long as I can teach it!”

Meng Jingzhou’s eyes lit up. The Five-Elements Sect’s elemental spells are renowned across the cultivation world. I heard that even our Meng Family had offered a large sum of money for a spell but was rejected by the Five-Elements Sect.

“Deal!” he agreed. It’s not like refusal is an option. Before a cultivator who is at the level of an immortal sect’s leader, resistance is futile; even if I refuse, he can forcefully take control of me.

With his seniority and potentially becoming a stepfather at stake, I feel that Sect Leader Qin will stop at nothing.

I’m sorry, Grandpa Ba. Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Although I’m all for romance in one’s twilight years, my cultivation is too weak to stop Sect Leader Qiu.

With Meng Jingzhou’s consent, Qiu Jin’an turned into a streak of spirit light and entered his body.

“Perform it again.”

Meng Jingzhou executed the Single’s Curse Fist once more. But now, with the amplification from Qiu Jin’an, his strikes could work against even Fusion cultivators!

A frigid smirk crept onto Qiu Jin’an’s visage. Old Ba Two, let’s see you wriggle out of this one!

“Do we go now?”

“Let’s wait. Going at night is too conspicuous and can easily arouse Old Ba Two’s suspicions. Let’s go in the day.” Having been opponents for over a thousand years, Qiu Jin’an was extremely familiar with Grandpa Ba’s character.

Qiu Jin’an had learned his stealth arts through his competition with the Dao-Seeking Nine, who had resorted to every underhanded tactic and sneak attacks in their youth. To counter them, he devoted himself to comprehending stealth arts and finally achieved a breakthrough.

My stealth arts rival even the Taciturn Daoist Priest’s!

Since it was still a long while before the sky turned bright, Meng Jingzhou resumed his meditation, and Qiu Jin’an seized the opportunity to offer him some earnest guidance.

“I know about your shifu refining even his shadow when refining his body, and that’s impressive, but it’s also flawed. Listen closely, when tempering your shadow, you must avoid these few pitfalls... Even your shifu doesn’t know these weaknesses.”

In terms of knowledge, Qiu Jin’an undoubtedly stood at the forefront. A few words of guidance from him solved the problems that had stumped Meng Jingzhou for days, leaving the latter enlightened.

Meng Jingzhou cultivated until dawn broke. Seeing that it was about time, Qiu Jin’an urged Meng Jingzhou to exit his cave abode.

At the moment, Grandpa Ba lolled at the herb garden’s entrance, entranced by rosy dreams of his future.

“Lu Yang’s advice is really useful! Girls love being complimented as smart and beautiful, and Yu’er is no exception!” His mouth spread into a wide smile. Though he was old in appearance, by Fusion cultivators’ standards, he was considered middle-aged.

“Ah, it’s Little Meng. What brings you here?” He greeted cheerfully, too delighted to notice anything amiss with Meng Jingzhou.

“I have something to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Grandpa Ba’s curiosity piqued.

“I dare you to think of becoming my stepfather!” Meng Jingzhou exploded, his aura waves flaring up.

“What?! Who are you?!”

“You’ve only realized now? Too late!”

Grandpa Ba was instantly filled with dread and tried to restrain Meng Jingzhou, but the latter’s aura and energy shattered his restraining methods. He saw Meng Jingzhou flash a triumphant smirk as he unleashed the Single’s Curse Fist.

The punch landed squarely on Grandpa Ba.

Grandpa Ba blinked, feeling nothing.

Meng Jingzhou and Qiu Jin’an felt like they had struck a mass of red threads. Their fists failed to penetrate the red threads, and instead, the threads wound around them tightly.

“What’s going on?!” Qiu Jin’an was flabbergasted. This is totally different from the outcome I’d envisioned! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Meng Jingzhou’s face blanched. “We’re doomed. Grandpa Ba’s marital fate is something even you can’t suppress, Sect Leader Qiu! We’ve suffered the backlash!”
