Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 413: Seven-Emotions Valley’s Businesses

The white paper-hatted man fled without a trace. Knowing this was no ordinary foe they could capture, both Lu Yang and Zhao Po didn’t take it to heart.

Zhao Po took out a small gong and struck it gently, producing a melodious chime. “This is how I contact my friend. If she’s in the valley, she’ll come out to meet us shortly.”

Before long, a slender woman walked out from the Seven-Emotions Valley. Spotting Zhao Po, her eyes brightened momentarily before she expertly concealed her delight, adopting a slightly disdainful tone. “What curse have you fallen victim to this time?”

Unbothered by her attitude, Zhao Po smiled and made introductions. “This is my new friend, Lu Yang from the Dao-Seeking Sect. He would like to ask for the valley leader’s help.

“This is Luo Yu, a true lineage disciple of the Seven-Emotions Valley. Her shifu is the valley master.”

“Lu Yang?!” Luo Yu was astonished to hear Lu Yang’s name. “The same Lu Yang who seized first place at the Qing Province Grand Ceremony, then proceeded to beat up the judges for good measure?”

Lu Yang thought, With my numerous strengths, I don’t need to become famous in this manner...

“A friend of mine is suffering from a curse which is hard to speak of. It’s extremely difficult to remove, so we’d like to request the valley leader’s assistance.”

Luo Yu looked at Lu Yang with pity in her eyes. Yet another curse victim claiming it’s a “friend.”

“Shifu will emerge from seclusion soon. But I can’t be sure whether she’ll agree to lift your curse. Come in first.”

“It’s not me. It’s my friend,” Lu Yang corrected.

“Don’t worry, I understand.”

Following Luo Yu through the array’s entrance, they entered Seven-Emotions Valley.

Luo Yu suddenly asked, “By the way, is there someone named Xie Shanren in the Dao-Seeking Sect?”

“Yes, that’s our Fourth Elder. Is there a problem?”

Fourth Elder rarely left the sect, and the outside world wasn’t aware of his name.

“There is a small problem. When my shifu was young, she liked a man named Xie Shanren. The two had met by chance, and she fell in love at first sight. They often sat together, discussing the Dao and conversing joyfully for hours. My shifu even taught him curse-breaking techniques to prove her feelings and devotion. Yet in the end, Xie Shanren didn’t accept my shifu’s affections, cast her aside, and left Wilderness Province to return to the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“Based on how my shifu mentions him all year around, I can see she hasn’t let him go. As for whether it’s love or love turned into hatred, I’m not certain.”

Lu Yang broke into a cold sweat. No wonder Fourth Elder didn’t direct us to Seven-Emotions Valley but instead recommended us the Corpse-Driving Sect, despite the Seven-Emotions Valley’s expertise in curses. So, this is the reason. frёeωebɳovel.com

But I have already stepped into Seven-Emotions Valley. Leaving now would be disrespectful. I hope Lord Valley Leader will be magnanimous and not take offense with a little Dao-Seeking Sect disciple like myself.

Lu Yang felt that he had made too many sacrifices to solve Meng Jingzhou’s curse. Even a father couldn’t have done more than this.

“Do friends like to be each other’s parents?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy asked Lu Yang, seemingly reminded of something.

“I can’t say it’s all of them, but some do.”

“I see.”

“Did you think of something, Immortal Fairy?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy nodded, revealing a guileless smile. “When I first cooked for the Qilin Immortal, he called me ‘Mother.’ So, it was because he considered me a friend! Looks like having meals together really does strengthen bonds.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s smile was much more pleasing than Yun Zhi’s icy countenance, but Lu Yang knew better than to be fooled by her innocent smile.

“Could you elaborate on that occasion?”

“After I challenged beyond my level and fought the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the Qilin Immortal, I felt bad about it, so I invited them for a meal. Initially, they were wary of me, thinking I wanted to poison them. But later, when they witnessed my smooth cooking process, which had no signs of adding poison, they felt reassured to dig in.

“The Qilin Immortal took one bite, cried ‘Mother,’ and passed out—probably because he was too weak to handle the nourishment.

“The Heaven Mandate Immortal passed out too.

“Since the Qilin Immortal was born from the convergence of heaven and earth’s fortune and has no parents, he must have hallucinated me as his mother.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shook her head. The Qilin Immortal is also a pitiful person.

Lu Yang suspected the Qilin Immortal might have been trying to yell ‘motherf*cking poison’ but fell unconscious after just uttering the first word, which resulted in the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s misunderstanding.

Though later generations had a hard time appraising the young immortals’ strength, Lu Yang had his own method. Since the Qilin Immortal could still say a word before collapsing while the Heaven Mandate Immortal couldn’t even speak, the former’s cultivation is likely superior.

In the real world, the three were traversing the Seven-Emotions Valley, and Lu Yang observed many visitors seeking help to break their curses. These were all complex curses that the disciples holding consultations couldn’t solve.

“Curse Master, whenever I meditate at night, I hear mosquitoes buzzing beside my ears and feel unbearable itchiness. I heard you’ve developed a new curse with these effects. Have I been afflicted with such a curse?”

“Fellow Daoist, it’s true that we Seven-Emotions Valley developed this curse, but I detect no indications of curses on you. The visible mosquito bites are probably due to actual mosquitoes around you.”

“Impossible! You must have cursed me!”

The Seven-Emotions Valley disciple sighed softly. The cost of creating that curse is exorbitant. With how low your cultivation is, why would anyone waste it on cursing you?

“Never mind. Place this item beside you during your seclusion, and there will no longer be any ‘curse.’”

“What is this?”

“Mosquito-repellent incense. Three hundred spirit stones per coil.”

~~~

“Curse Master, all my life, no female cultivator has ever liked me. Every time I confess, I get rejected, without exception. My peers of the same age are already married, while I don’t even have a girlfriend. Am I cursed?”

“Fellow Daoist, your situation isn’t due to a curse. Your charisma isn’t in question—only your spirit stones. We Seven-Emotions Valley offer lending services. Would you want to borrow spirit stones from us? The annual interest rate is just twenty percent.”

~~~

“Curse Master, after killing someone, vivid images of their bloody final moments haunt me. They scream and curse me to never be at peace. Now, I even have nightmares of them bleeding and crawling toward me, demanding my life. I’m too scared to sleep.

“Recently, I’ve been getting chills down my spine, as if someone’s following me. But when I turn around, nothing’s there.

“When I was in seclusion, eerie laughter would ring in my ears, as if it was mocking my pathetic state. I scurried away in panic, but the voice kept echoing in my ears.

“Sometimes, a red figure would even appear in my vision, only to vanish again when I rub my eyes to take a closer look.

“Have I been cursed?”

The Seven-Emotions Valley disciple studied the man’s darkened forehead, puffy eyes, and panicked gaze before nodding lightly. It’s a rare case of a genuine curse. “You’re indeed cursed, and it’s even the Wrongful Death Curse, one of the toughest curses to lift.

“Is there a way to solve it?”

“Of course. There is no curse our Seven-Emotions Valley can’t remove. However, this kind of curse is too difficult for me to remove. Hold on a bit, let me get my senior brother to help.”

Not long after, the disciple called his senior brother over and pointed at the other party. “Senior Brother, that’s the killer right there! I couldn’t take him down alone, so let’s work together to haul him to the authorities!”
