Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Vice Sect Leader Liu reprimanded the other for his lack of sophistication: “Calm down! Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world. If our mission goes smoothly, causing the Dao Seeking Sect to fall into slumber and allowing us to loot at will, why worry about not being able to afford such an airship?”

Another high-ranking member of the Undying Sect expressed concerns about their plans: “But can our plan really succeed? We’ve never infiltrated the Dao Seeking Sect before!”

To them, the Dao Seeking Sect was akin to a dragon’s lair.

“Please rest assured, gentlemen. Our undercover agent in the Dao Seeking Sect has provided us with the activity schedule and a map of the war zone, ensuring our safety!” Tang Yunsheng spoke up, his position and cultivation level were the lowest among them as an inspector. Even the helmsmen had to pay him respects, but here, he was at the bottom of the hierarchy.

“Right, Little Tang is correct.” Another vice sect leader spoke, his name was Gao Zhenglai, a cultivator in the early stages of Unity.

“Moreover, we are all believers of the Everlasting Celestial, the symbol of wisdom, power, and luck. With the Everlasting Celestial’s blessing, our mission will surely be a success!”

“May the Everlasting Celestial bless us!”

“May the Everlasting Celestial bless us!”

The eight men whispered, afraid of being overheard.

“You’ve been waiting for a while.” Lu Yang came to greet his subordinates. His public identity was the acting sect master of the Dao Seeking Sect, but in secret, he was the sect leader of the Undying Sect, playing both sides.

“Let me introduce, this is the successful infiltrator into the Dao Seeking Sect, our loyal follower, Lu Yang.” Tang Yunsheng introduced him and then quietly asked, “What about the other two?”

Where was the leadership reception for just one person?

Lu Yang explained, “Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone are busy grilling skewers and can’t get away.”

Tang Yunsheng then introduced the seven high-ranking members of the Undying Sect, including Vice Sect Leaders Liu and Gao, as well as five elder guests.

Tang Yunsheng was responsible for coordination. Without him entering the Dao Seeking Sect, his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation wouldn’t make a splash there, and his presence wasn’t necessary.

Lu Yang warned his seven subordinates, “The Dao Seeking Sect is extremely dangerous for us from the Undying Sect, like entering a dragon’s den. Please follow my instructions carefully. If anything goes wrong, we will have nowhere to bury our bodies!”

The seven frowned, feeling an instinctive dislike for taking orders from someone in the Foundation Building Stage, but considering that visitors to a mental hospital must follow the guide to avoid attacks from patients, they let it go.

“Lead the way.”

The gatekeeper disciples saw the acting sect master leading people into the sect and did not stop them, letting them through directly.

Vice Sect Leader Liu was surprised at how easily they entered the Dao Seeking Sect.

Lu Yang explained with a smile, “The disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect often come to our place for skewers. After a while, we got to know each other, and they generally don’t make things difficult for me.”

Vice Sect Leader Liu patted Lu Yang’s shoulder, “I didn’t expect you to blend in so well with the people of the Dao Seeking Sect. This is something many cultivators can’t achieve even if they go mad. Well done. It’s a pity you’re of such a low realm now, or I would promote you no matter what!”

Lu Yang thought to himself that he could still be promoted further; any more and he would be a patriarch.

“Hmm? Wait, what’s a patriarch? Isn’t it the founder of a sect? Since I’ve resurrected the Everlasting Fairy and given the Undying Sect a faith, I’m essentially doing what a patriarch does!”

Lu Yang felt that it was only logical and rightful for him to be a patriarch, and he wouldn’t need to compete for the position with the fake sect leader of the Undying Sect.

The hierarchical order of the Undying Sect has now become clear, with the Everlasting Fairy at the highest level, followed by the patriarch Lu Yang, and then the sect leader, vice sect leaders, and other minor figures.

Considering that the Everlasting Fairy is already a guest elder of the Dao Seeking Sect and a temporary three-day acting sect master, it’s reasonable to regard the Undying Sect as a branch of the Dao Seeking Sect.

Upon arriving inside the Dao Seeking Sect, Vice Sect Leader Liu and the others were curious, but they dared not release their spiritual senses and only observed with their eyes.

They were on edge the entire way, fearing detection by the Dao Seeking Sect. Fortunately, the riskiest part has already happened, and worrying now was too late.

On the martial arts field, the first match of the Golden Core group began, featuring Brother Luo Hai from the Dao Seeking Sect, who had been challenged beyond his level by the Everlasting Fairy.

Brother Luo Hai was proficient in water attribute techniques, as was his opponent. Their battle saw waves crashing against each other, with the roar of tides, and the scale of their fight was unlike any typical Golden Core phase battle.

“Here we are, this is our base!” Lu Yang arrived at a barbecue restaurant named “Come Again.”

This was a shop arranged by Dai Bufan well in advance, managed by others until now. During the exchange event, it was temporarily handed over to Lu Yang and two others.

Barbarian Bone was skillfully grilling skewers, and the spacious shop had only a few people inside.

Other shops were just starting to open at this time.

The competition between the Dao Seeking Sect and the Five Elements Sect included four major groups. Only the Foundation Establishment group had proceeded so far. The battles of the other three groups, due to their longer durations, strategies, and tactics, were more interesting and attractive to the audience, which was the highlight of the exchange meeting.

Therefore, the shops chose this time to start business.

“Greetings to the vice sect master…” Barbarian Bone put down his work, intending to salute, but was stopped by Vice Sect Master Liu.

“Given the dangerous circumstances, let’s keep things simple.”

“Yes, please take a seat,” Barbarian Bone invited them.

“Where’s Meng Jingzhou?” Lu Yang looked around but couldn’t find him.

“Oh, Brother Meng said he’s going to check out other shops to see how their business is doing and if we need to come up with a strategy against them.”

Lu Yang frowned, about to scold Meng Jingzhou for not focusing on important matters. The success or failure of the Undying Sect depended on this, how could he be distracted by trivial matters?

Vice Sect Master Liu stopped Lu Yang, “Eh, no need to be angry. As the saying goes, play the part fully. Meng’s actions also fit those of a barbecue shop employee, which is understandable.”

Vice Sect Master Liu continued, “However, it’s difficult to proceed with one person missing. Little Barbarian, go find Meng Jingzhou and bring him back. You three are most familiar with the Dao Seeking Sect, let’s discuss our next actions together.”

“Yes!” Barbarian Bone hurried out of the barbecue shop.

Before leaving, Barbarian Bone mentioned, “By the way, Brother Lu, someone pre-ordered our skewers, and I’m almost done grilling them. Remember to deliver them.”

“Alright.”

Lu Yang took over Barbarian Bone’s task and continued grilling skewers, his movements skilled, showing he was a veteran of thirty years.

Vice Sect Master Liu nodded in approval; Lu Yang’s movements were standard, not much different from what he had learned.

After grilling, Lu Yang said, “Please wait a moment, esteemed guests. I need to deliver a meal.”

“Hold on, where to? I’ll send someone to deliver it for you,” Vice Sect Master Liu stopped Lu Yang. If Lu Yang left, there would only be the seven of them left in the barbecue shop.

Lu Yang pointed to a distant stand, “It’s ordered by the bigwigs in the stands.”

Vice Sect Master Liu was at a loss for words; the stands were occupied by the high-ranking members of the Dao Seeking Sect and the Five Elements Sect, all at the Unity Stage. If they went to deliver the meal, their identities could easily be exposed.

“Go ahead, go and come back quickly!” Vice Sect Master Liu gestured.

Lu Yang, carrying the meal box, quickly walked out.

Not long after Lu Yang left, a pure and beautiful girl noticed the place.

“Oh, ‘Come Again BBQ shop’, what an interesting name. Since you guys are starting a business, give me twenty mutton skewers. If it’s good, I’ll order more!”

It was Shangguan Yu.
