Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

The group of cultivators, not their first time handling such matters, easily dealt with the town’s explicit and hidden rules. Whether it was not being able to make eye contact with the private tutor, the danger in the thatched cottages during the day, all became a joke.

They captured the private tutor, dragged out the shadows hiding in the thatched cottages, checked how many were living corpses and how many were alive, researched if those transformed into black dogs could be reverted… everything was progressing in an orderly manner.

Everlasting Fairy had never seen such a scene before. In the ancient era, there was no concept of a nation, and the system built around clans did not have such clear division of labor and organized structure.

According to Daoist Non-Speaker, this was just the power of one dynasty. If the dynasty were to unite with the five great immortal sects for a joint operation, they could easily overpower ancient cultivators.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou found the innkeeper who had been rescued. Seeing them, the innkeeper cried tears of joy, never expecting the two to actually solve the problem, and in such a short amount of time at that.

He should not have doubted Lu Yang and the others were demon cultivators.

The Qingzhou enforcers also discovered that the pharmacy owner was an undercover agent for the town chief, with evidence of countless harms done. Under the restrictions of the rules, what the pharmacy owner seemed to say truthfully, was actually all deceptive, misleading many.

The pharmacy apprentice, the private tutor, the yamen officers, and the meat bun shop owner… these people were all detained, waiting for the truth to be clarified before deciding their fate.

On-site, the inspector of Qingzhou wrote a memorial to report the matter to the court, but Daoist Non-Speaker stopped him, asking the inspector to omit the names of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, though the rewards due were still granted.

Daoist Non-Speaker then took the two promising juniors to the most bustling restaurant in Qingzhou for a meal.

“Ha ha, it’s finally over!”

“Although our trip encountered a little, minor hiccup, it was ultimately a small matter. After we’ve had our fill, I’ll take you to experience the prosperity of the southern part of the continent.”

“This time, with your Eldest Senior Sister not around, the three of us will let loose and have fun, don’t worry, I’ll cover for anything that happens!”

Daoist Non-Speaker laughed heartily, with the aftermath being handled by the government, he had nothing more to do. Finally able to get out, he naturally wanted to let loose.

“Oh? So you were restrained when I was around?”

A cold voice made Daoist Non-Speaker’s laughter come to an abrupt halt.

Only then did Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou realize that the once bustling restaurant had quieted down, with only their table having any laughter. Now, all three of them stopped talking, and the entire restaurant was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

The guests had long noticed when a stunningly beautiful woman entered the restaurant, drawing all eyes to her the moment she appeared. They were amazed by her beauty and aura, subconsciously shutting their mouths, not daring to breathe too loudly, fearing the woman would notice them.

The woman chose a table and sat down quietly, watching the carefree master and disciples.

No one could see that the woman was also holding two chains in her hands, binding two soul bodies.

Finally, the woman spoke, and only then did the master and disciples notice her.

“Oh, it’s Little Yun, come, sit down and join us,” Daoist Non-Speaker forced a smile.

“Eldest Senior Sister, hello,” Lu Yang and the others greeted her respectfully.

Daoist Non-Speaker looked surprised at the two chains in Yun Zhi’s hands, recognizing the bound individuals as the escaped Unity Stage beings.

“Little Yun, when did you find us?”

“Since the first time you performed the sword technique that turns one sword into ten thousand and merged with the sword.”

Daoist Non-Speaker broke out in a cold sweat; that was a day ago, no wonder Little Yun was able to capture those two.

He calmly thought about it, realizing he hadn’t bad-mouthed Little Yun at all during the day. That was a relief.

The two captured Unity Stage cultivators looked at Yun Zhi in horror. Just a gentle palm strike from afar had sent their souls flying. What kind of realm did this power belong to?

Why did they keep running into such monsters?!

What happened to the promised reemergence of ancient times and lands filled with opportunities? Where were the opportunities in this land filled with danger?!

“I was just worried that you, Master, might get lost and lead the two astray. I didn’t expect you to have so much fun without me,” Yun Zhi said evenly, her tone sending shivers down the trio’s spine.

Meng Jingzhou was the quickest to react, pointing at Lu Yang: “It’s all Lu Yang’s fault. I didn’t want to come at all; it was Lu Yang who dragged me here.”

Lu Yang promptly pointed at Daoist Non-Speaker: “It’s all Master’s fault. He said he needed to fulfill his responsibilities as a master by taking me out to see the world!”

Daoist Non-Speaker pointed at Meng Jingzhou: “It was this kid’s grandfather who asked me to look after his grandson, that’s why I took them out for some fun!”

Daoist Non-Speaker’s rich experience in causing trouble told him that blaming someone not present was the wisest choice.

Yun Zhi’s icy gaze swept over the three: “Master, you continue to spread the glorious deeds of our Dao Seeking Sect outside. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, you two come back with me.”

Yun Zhi was worried that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou would pick up their master’s bad habits.

Before taking the two away, Yun Zhi told Daoist Non-Speaker, “On your way, tell the inspector of Qingzhou that I’ve captured the people, no need to be so tense anymore.”

Yun Zhi intended to bring the two Unity Stage captives back, hoping to extract some useful information from them.

On the way back, Lu Yang tried to claim credit with Eldest Senior Sister, asking if he could receive contribution points for killing a Unity Stage.

Yun Zhi wondered, “Wasn’t it Yellow Bean who killed the Unity Stage?”

Hearing this, Everlasting Fairy, no longer caring that Yun Zhi was calling her by her name directly, excitedly asked, “Can I get contribution points then?”

“As you are not a member of our Dao Seeking Sect, naturally, you cannot.”

Without a second thought, Everlasting Fairy declared, “Then I’ll join the Dao Seeking Sect.”

Lu Yang looked at Everlasting Fairy in surprise. Joining just like that, what about the dignity of being an immortal?

Yun Zhi nodded, “An immortal joining Dao Seeking Sect is certainly permissible. I can specially appoint you as the first guest elder of Dao Seeking Sect. However, only I will know of your status. Accordingly, you will receive the contribution points for this occasion as well as the provisions of an elder. If you agree to these terms, then you can join.”

“I’ll join.” Everlasting Fairy quite liked the atmosphere of Dao Seeking Sect; it matched her personality, a rare compatibility.

Yun Zhi also brought up another matter, speaking to Lu Yang, “A few days ago, the master of Moon Laurel Immortal Palace approached me, saying they wanted to compensate you to Lan Ting.”

“I think you’re at the age for discussing marriage. Dao Seeking Sect and Moon Laurel Immortal Palace are well-matched, so I agreed to you two becoming dao companions. But somehow, the master of Moon Laurel Immortal Palace changed their mind. Do you have any idea why? Could it be that they found you not impressive enough?”

Lu Yang was utterly confused.
