Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Lu Yang teased from the sideline, “This invisible force is everywhere, is it called gravity?”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lan Ting looked up and saw Lu Yang. “Oh, it’s you,” she said.

“Let’s talk inside,” Lu Yang worried that Lan Ting would reveal their true identities.

With Lan Ting’s extremely beautiful appearance, standing at the door was bound to draw attention, making it easy for prying ears to overhear their conversation.

As soon as Lan Ting entered, she saw the ghoul diligently skewering meat and realized it was the ghost of the tiger demon left behind.

Seeing Lu Yang and Lan Ting walk in, the two ghouls silently picked up their meat-filled bowl and skewering sticks, and continued skewering at the table in the corner.

Observing their skillful actions, Lan Ting even thought that the ghouls had done this type of work when they were alive.

Man Gu, who was in the backyard, heard the commotion and stopped his cultivation to come to the hall.

Meng Jingzhou, who had ended a day of wandering, entered the door and exclaimed, “Did you hear? Yanjiang County has its own festival called the Spring Festival, which is half a month away, featuring spring outings and enjoying nature, with a grand poetry and music event at night, making it incredibly lively. People from the nearby counties will all come over.”

“The locals in Yanjiang County even get a three-day vacation.”

“I also heard that every year, the brothels raise their prices for those days, making a fortune. Should we seize the opportunity and hold a big promotion, for example, to celebrate the two-month anniversary of our restaurant opening?”

Meng Jingzhou proved that he wasn’t just out playing, he was also gathering information, although this information wasn’t very useful to the three of them.

Man Gu’s eyes lit up and he was about to talk, but then he saw Lu Yang’s emotionless gaze and shut his mouth silently.

Meng Jingzhou noticed Lan Ting and was surprised, “I remember you, are you Lan Ting from the Laurel Fairy Palace?”

They have been here for more than a month to open a barbecue restaurant, oh no, for infiltrating into the demonic sect, while Lan Ting is here for what?

“Indeed, that’s me,” Lan Ting said softly.

Lan Ting also found the three of them interesting. She had stayed in Yanjiang County for over a month and had heard about the famous barbecue restaurant, but she was naturally fond of tranquility and disliked noisy places, so she never came over.

Today, as she happened to pass by, she realized that this barbecue restaurant was run by people she knew, and they were even disciples of the Immortal Sects.

It seems that these three really made a big accomplishment in Yanjiang County.

Could it be that besides eliminating monsters and demons, the mission of the Seek Dao Sect also includes running a business and making money? Considering the reputation of the Seek Dao Sect, it’s not impossible.

Lan Ting heard her senior sisters saying that in the Seek Dao Sect’s contribution point exchange rewards, there was a “Sect Leader’s One-Day Tour”, an award that the other four Immortal Sects didn’t have.

“You’ve been in Yanjiang County for this long without leaving, are you on a mission? If you need any help, feel free to ask. We know some constables in Yanjiang County, and we even have connections in the jail,” said Lu Yang warmly.

Being from the Five Great Immortal Sects, they should help each other.

Nowadays, Lu Yang and his team could cover the sky with just one hand in Yanjiang County. On the surface, they were enthusiastic citizens who helped Guard Captain Wei catch criminals, and constables often gathered here for meals. In secret, they were seeds of the Demon Path who were valued by the Rudder Master of Yanjiang Rudder. Their true identities were core disciples of the Seek Dao Sect.

Who could compete with them when it comes to their background?

Lan Ting went silent. She was here on a secret mission and shouldn’t come into contact with outsiders. Otherwise, after helping Lu Yang defeat the tiger, she wouldn’t have just asked symbolically for two tiger skins and left.

Now, more than a month had passed, and there was no progress. She was anxious.

The three before her eyes were an opportunity, perhaps they could help her!

Lan Ting was silent for a moment, took a couple of deep breaths to stabilize her breathing, and said seriously to the three of them, “I am on a secret mission. Please do not divulge what I am going to tell you today, since it may jeopardize my safety! Please do not be too shocked after you hear it!”

Seeing Lan Ting being so serious, the three of them straightened their backs.

“I have to infiltrate the Eternity Sect as an undercover agent!”

Their eyes all blinked simultaneously, as if they had misheard.

Lan Ting continued, “This is reliable information obtained by our Laurel Fairy Palace through special channels, revealing that the Four Great Devil Sects all plan to recruit believers on a large scale. The Yaoyang Sect has finished recruiting while the other three are in the process.”

“There is a sub-branch of the Eternity Sect in Yanjiang County, called Yanjiang Rudder. The Rudder Master is mysterious, whose identity isn’t clear, and even the surname is unknown to anyone.”

“Among all the branches of the Eternity Sect, Yanjiang Rudder is one of the lower-ranking ones. The general cultivation level of its members is relatively low, making it suitable for a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple like me to infiltrate. If planned properly, there’s even a chance to mix into the upper ranks of Yanjiang Rudder.”

“My senior sisters have very high cultivation levels and are too noticeable. Moreover, they are well-known in the outside world, which is not conducive to infiltration. After some discussion, this task fell onto me.”

The “fame” that Lan Ting mentioned about her senior sisters referred to their extraordinary beauty which had previously appeared in some banned books to satisfy some men’s fantasies.

Lan Ting sighed, “However, I have been in Yanjiang County for over a month and haven’t found the location of Yanjiang Rudder yet. I don’t even know if the testing period is over yet, I hope it’s not too late!”

Lan Ting looked at the trio with a hopeful look in her eyes, especially at the very reliable Lu Yang, hoping that they could provide some help.

Silently, all three of them pulled out the waist card given by the Rudder Master. The word “manager” was particularly noticeable.

“Sorry, we’re already part of the Eternity Sect,” they said.

Lan Ting: “!!!?”

“Oh, don’t panic. What we mean is that we have successfully infiltrated the Eternity Sect,” Lu Yang added.

Lan Ting relaxed, thinking the three had defected, but it turned out to be just an infiltration…wait, that’s not right either.

“How did you manage to get into the Eternity Sect?”

Lu Yang felt a bit awkward. How should he explain this? They simply took part in a regular test and successfully passed.

Meng Jingzhou proudly said, “We performed exceptionally well in the sect disciples’ selection, so the Eternity Sect thought we were very suitable for the demonic sect, and chose us.”

Man Gu didn’t understand what Meng Jingzhou was proud of.

Lu Yang, in a simple language, narrated how they had found Qin Yuanhao’s letter in the tiger demon’s lair, located Qin Yuanhao according to the letter, and then learned about the recruitment of disciples and the location of Yanjiang Rudder.

Lan Ting was full of regrets. If she had just followed Lu Yang’s actions at the beginning, she wouldn’t have wasted more than a month. She didn’t even find the entrance to Yanjiang Rudder, while others had already made a way into the high ranks of Yanjiang Rudder.

“You should be able to recruit ordinary disciples like Qin Yuanhao, right? Can you recruit me?” she asked.

Lu Yang shook his head, “Ordinary disciples cannot access Eternity Sect’s confidential information. You must go through the test organized by Eternity Sect’s headquarters. To be honest, I don’t think you can pass the test, and there’s a very high chance of exposing your identity.”

Lan Ting looked down in disappointment. However, Lu Yang continued, “On the other hand, we can create a new identity for you, claiming that you are my distant relative or something and come here to seek shelter. On the surface, you work at the barbecue restaurant. When we are on a mission, you can help from the side, which can be considered as completing a part of the mission.” “Really?” Lan Ting didn’t expect such good news.

Man Gu hadn’t expected that the barbecue restaurant was finally getting a new staff member.

Lu Yang nodded, “Of course. As a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, you possess considerable combat power, which would be a great help to us. But you are too conspicuous, so you need to disguise yourself. By the way, do you know the Transformation Technique? If not, I can teach you.”
