Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Cultivation insights for immortal physiques are rare, especially those that match one’s own.

The Sixth Elder was delighted, like someone who had purchased a desired book, eager to start reading at home.

“Chi Qianqian’s Cultivation Diary”

“First year of cultivation: My master told me that I am a one-in-a-thousand Flawless Immortal Physique, with a cultivation speed far surpassing my peers. This is great news, and I must practice diligently…”

“Second year of cultivation: My cultivation speed is indeed very fast. While others are only at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, I have already built my foundation. The characteristics of the Flawless Immortal Physique are gradually showing. I must not disappoint my master’s expectations and will continue to practice hard…”

“Third year of cultivation: Advancing in realms faster than drinking water, now at the Golden Core stage. Moreover, it’s a pure Golden Core, untouched by a speck of dust. My master says cultivation has no end, and I must continue to strive…”

“Seventh year of cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage…”

The Sixth Elder kept flipping through the pages. The book recorded the life of a Great Yu cultivator, Chi Qianqian, which could be described as epic. Immersed in it, the Sixth Elder eventually reached the last page with a tremble in her heart.

The previous page was at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage, surely the next page must detail the Unity Stage. Why is there only one page about the Unity Stage? Did something unfortunate happen to the person?

The Sixth Elder suppressed her unease and turned to the last page.

“Six hundredth year of cultivation: Finally reached the Unity Stage. Anyway, I can’t reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so might as well slack off!”

The diary ended.

The Sixth Elder: “……”

She rubbed her temples, pondering what she had just read.

It wasn’t entirely useless. The record of cultivation from the Foundation Building stage to the Void Refinement Stage was detailed and could serve as a reference for her.

“Please thank Little Yun for her kindness. Now that Little Yun is in charge of Dao Seeking Sect, even if I wanted to express my gratitude, there’s nothing here that would catch her eye. I’ve heard from Little Yun that you have a unique talent in magic, capable of founding your own school. How about this, I give you a spellbook, would that be okay?” The Sixth Elder smiled gently, communicating with Lu Yang through spiritual sense.

A vacuum field formed around the Sixth Elder, allowing only spiritual communication.

Lu Yang agreed.

“However, my attack methods rely on the power of the immortal physique, which might not suit you,” the Sixth Elder pondered on what spellbook to give Lu Yang.

“Right, I’ll give you ‘The Art of Tree Planting.’”

“The Art of Tree Planting?” Lu Yang looked puzzled, wondering if mastering this seemingly ordinary-sounding technique meant planting trees on barren mountains to promote a green development new pattern in the cultivation world.

Or was it that planting many trees would earn him praise from Eldest Senior Sister and the title of “Environmental Little Guardian”?

The Sixth Elder understood Lu Yang’s thoughts: “Don’t underestimate this technique by its name. It’s a spell many plant cultivators yearn for. If practiced successfully, it can promote the growth of spiritual plants. Big sects would hold you in high esteem.”

“Look at your second senior brother. Why do you think he stays in the herb garden? Because he’s the best practitioner of ‘The Art of Tree Planting’ in our sect.”

Lu Yang realized the value of this technique. Mastered well, it could ensure a lifetime of prosperity, with every big sect having its own cultivation garden, eager for your service.

The Sixth Elder added, “In your spare time, you can also practice this technique. It helps soothe the mind and nurture one’s character.”

“Peach Blossom Leaf, that child has done well in learning ‘The Art of Tree Planting.’ If you have any questions, you can ask her.”

Lu Yang accepted the technique, thanked the Sixth Elder, and left her residence with Peach Blossom Leaf.

After leaving, the two resumed breathing.

“It’s still early. Why not learn here with me? I can teach you,” Peach Blossom Leaf suggested.

Lu Yang thought it was a good idea.

“The Art of Tree Planting,” a high-difficulty wood-element magic that uses one’s spiritual power to promote the growth of spiritual plants, it is difficult to start, harder to make minor progress, and even more challenging to master.

To begin with The Art of Tree Planting, one must first achieve a state of mind akin to a still well, entering a state similar to unity with heaven and earth, to perceive and understand the plants, conforming to the natural laws of their growth to promote their rapid development.

“For the initial practice, ordinary seeds are most suitable. Our spiritual power can easily make the seeds grow into trees. It’s said that cultivation geniuses can even achieve growth, flowering, and fruiting in their first attempt, completing the entire process seamlessly.”

“Willow trees are empathetic and most suitable for practicing The Art of Tree Planting. Here is a willow seed, Junior Brother Lu, take it and close your eyes to see if you can resonate with the willow seed.” Peach Blossom Leaf handed Lu Yang a piece of willow fluff.

Following the method recorded in The Art of Tree Planting combined with Peach Blossom Leaf’s cultivation insights, Lu Yang sought to understand with his heart.

A breeze caressed the lawn, and the sunlight was not too strong, providing a very comfortable feeling.

Gradually emptying himself, Lu Yang felt as if he was floating between heaven and earth, vaguely grasping the life pattern of the willow fluff.

Peach Blossom Leaf, sensing Lu Yang’s unusual state, was surprised. It took her three days to reach this step when she first started, and her master praised her sensing ability as one of the best in history.

Yet, Junior Brother Lu achieved it in just half an hour!

“I’ve always heard that Junior Brother Lu’s talent in magic is unparalleled, even more so than his swordsmanship.”

But Peach Blossom Leaf didn’t expect Lu Yang’s talent in magic to be this profound.

“No wonder he’s personally taught by Eldest Senior Sister. With such talent, others might not be able to teach him.”

Everlasting Fairy, hearing Peach Blossom Leaf’s murmurs, agreed wholeheartedly. Indeed, who else but her could teach him?

At this moment, Lu Yang gained a new insight into The Art of Tree Planting. He placed the willow fluff on the ground and pointed at it, using his own spiritual power as the driving force for its growth.

“Grow!” Lu Yang shouted.

After a while, nothing happened.

Peach Blossom Leaf weakly reminded from the side, “Um, Junior Brother Lu, people usually plant the seeds in the soil.”

“Good point.”

Lu Yang picked up the willow seed and, using the “Shrink Earth” technique, zipped it into the soil.

Peach Blossom Leaf’s eyes widened, surprised that Junior Brother Lu also knew the Earth Escape technique, one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques?

The Earth Escape technique is the most convenient among the Five Elements Escape Techniques, whether for attacking, escaping, or hiding, it’s an excellent choice.

Peach Blossom Leaf wanted to learn the Earth Escape technique, but it was too difficult, and she never managed to master it.

“But why do I feel that Junior Brother Lu’s Earth Escape technique is somewhat different from what I learned?”

As Peach Blossom Leaf murmured to herself, she saw a willow tree rising from the ground.

“It was successful on the first try?!” Peach Blossom Leaf exclaimed. It took her four willow seeds to succeed when she was practicing.

“Huh?” Peach Blossom Leaf rubbed her eyes, thinking she saw it wrong.

The willow tree rose from the ground, with two Junior Brother Lus hanging from its branches.

Lu Yang, hanging on the willow tree with a disheartened expression, swayed back and forth.

Where did the practice go wrong this time? Why did planting one willow seed result in a tree growing two of me?
