Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Is that even reasonable?

“Yeah, is that reasonable? How come you don’t have a single spirit stone?” The two monsters fighting Lu Yang were also furious.

Lu Yang: “…Can you two stop talking? It ruins the dignity.”

The two monsters ignored him.

They had been fighting hard and were almost losing, while the tiger and lion monsters did nothing and got a high-grade spirit stone for free.

That was a high-grade spirit stone! They had lived so long and never got one.

Bloodline hatred was important, but reality had to be considered.

“How about you two go fight him instead?” Lu Yang suggested, trying to divert the trouble to another target.

“Hey, Lu Yang, that’s not fair!” Meng Jingzhou shouted from a distance. This guy was jealous of his wealth!

“Stop shouting. Those two monsters are coming back!” Lu Yang casually warned, causing Meng Jingzhou to pause.

Roar—

A lion’s roar echoed, more terrifying than thunder, shaking Meng Jingzhou to his core, making his brain spin.

The lion and tiger monsters returned, emitting a chilling aura.

“Why are you back?”

The tiger monster showed a greedy expression. “Since you could take out a high-grade spirit stone, you must have more. Hand them all over, and I’ll spare your life!”

The lion monster’s mane shook as it saw Meng Jingzhou as a treasure trove, threatening, “If not, we’ll capture you and take all your spirit stones!”

Meng Jingzhou frowned and snorted, “Greedy!”

He was reluctant to fight, but it didn’t mean he feared them.

“Just two mid-Golden Core stage monsters, not even worthy of guarding our Meng family gate!”

“Courting death!”

The tiger and lion monsters were furious, ready to tear Meng Jingzhou apart.

“Heaven Shaking Six Forms!” Meng Jingzhou stopped playing around, his eyes wide with divine wrath, exuding an intimidating aura.

After constantly practicing Arhat Fist, he gained new insights into Heaven Shaking Six Forms, making it more powerful than ever!

Meng Jingzhou moved like a phantom, his steps swift and chaotic, weaving through the battlefield. His fists swung like the wind, landing on the two monsters.

Caught off guard, the tiger and lion monsters took solid blows, coughing up blood.

They were shocked. They had thought he was a spoiled rich kid who threw money around but didn’t expect such terrifying combat strength!

……

The patterned giant python, with blood-red eyes, was completely enraged by Peach Blossom Leaf. Its eyes widened as it searched for the annoying figure, determined to swallow the girl who had been toying with it.

Monsters were naturally weak in mental strength, making Peach Blossom Leaf, who excelled in illusions, their natural nemesis.

Throughout the battle, the python hadn’t touched even the hem of Peach Blossom Leaf’s clothes.

Crack—

With a crisp sound, like a shattered mirror, the truth beneath was revealed.

“Found you!” The giant python finally broke through the illusion and spotted Peach Blossom Leaf.

Peach Blossom Leaf, seemingly unprepared for the change, stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.

The python opened its massive jaws, swallowing the terrified and desperate Peach Blossom Leaf whole.

Despite her desperate struggle, she couldn’t match the python, and it swallowed her bit by bit.

Not far away, the real Peach Blossom Leaf, holding her red paper umbrella, watched the python swallowing its own tail, shaking her head slightly.

Though it seemed like she was toying with the python, only she knew how dangerous it truly was.

The patterned giant python was a late-Golden Core stage monster, and Peach Blossom Leaf had to exert all her effort just to keep it lost in her illusion.

If she made the slightest mistake, the python would break free and attack her in reality.

Then, she would be in real danger.

“Lack of offensive means,” Peach Blossom Leaf realized her flaw. If she had Lu Yang’s attacking skills, she would have defeated the python long ago.

Illusions could kill, but only if the target was in a deep illusion.

Peach Blossom Leaf could confidently trap any Foundation Building stage cultivator in a deep illusion, but Golden Core stage was much harder.

This meant she couldn’t kill enemies above her level.

As for her Feathered Immortal Body, it focused more on defense than attack.

All she could do now was keep the python trapped.

……

As Barbarian Bone kept chanting Everlasting Fairy’s name, the ancient barbarian bloodline, dormant for so long, erupted like a volcano, unstoppable.

Barbarian Bone’s body continued to strengthen. At the start of the battle, he had been at a disadvantage against the late-Golden Core stage armored monster, but now he was holding his own.

This was incredibly terrifying—a late-Foundation Building stage body matching a late-Golden Core stage.

Barbarian Bone realized that in ancient times, all ancient barbarians might have been capable of this, meaning the Fairy’s blessing had significantly enhanced their combat power.

“Everlasting Fairy is unparalleled!”

The armored monster began to feel an urge to retreat. It sensed a threat from Barbarian Bone, not from his abilities but from a deep-seated fear rooted in its bloodline.

Previously, the monster’s bloodline origin both feared and hated Barbarian Bone, with hatred overshadowing fear.

Now, fear was starting to outweigh hatred.

……

Lu Yang, in his tiger form, was deftly handling two mid-Golden Core stage monsters.

Just as he was about to deliver the killing blow to the two monsters, his keen hearing detected something off.

A baby’s cry echoed from the distance, sending chills down Lu Yang’s spine.

This was the dense forest, teeming with ferocious monsters—how could there be a baby?

The two monsters exchanged glances, fear evident in their eyes.

“It’s coming!”

Lu Yang was puzzled. “Who?”

The two monsters didn’t answer. The crying grew closer.

Suddenly, the crying stopped, and an ancient aura that made everyone’s hearts race burst forth.

“Fighting all this time and you still can’t handle a few humans?”

A cold voice sounded in everyone’s ears. Lu Yang reverted to his human form, gripping the Qingfeng Sword in readiness.

The owner of the voice emerged slowly from the forest, revealing its true form—a massive creature over ten meters tall with nine snake heads.

Lu Yang exhaled slowly. “Nine Infant.”

An ancient monster, a Nine Infant. (TL Note: 九婴 (Nine Infant) is a mythical creature from Chinese mythology, often depicted as a fearsome monster with nine heads. It is known for its malevolent nature and its association with water and floods. According to legend, the Nine Infant could spew water and fire from its multiple heads, causing destruction wherever it went. It’s cry is like a baby crying. The word 婴 means infant but it’s often depicted as a snake monster similar to a hydra. I don’t really like the translation of the name but I can’t come up with a better one. Please suggest one in the comments. /item/%E4%B9%9D%E5%A9%B4/7148151)

Judging by its appearance, this was not a descendant of the tiger or lion monsters.

This was a pureblood Nine Infant.

“You two, come with me and kill this sword-wielding human!” Nine Infant commanded with authority. It too had been drawn by the ancient barbarian bloodline. Upon arriving at the battlefield, it realized that Lu Yang was the strongest of the four and knew that to kill Barbarian Bone, it first had to kill Lu Yang.

The two monsters, aware of Nine Infant’s terrifying power, dared not disobey.

“Fairy, what is its level?”

“Late-Golden Core stage peak.”

Lu Yang’s expression grew troubled.

A late-Golden Core stage pureblood Nine Infant, plus two mid-Golden Core stage monsters—he couldn’t win against them with his current abilities.

The four of them could leave at any time using Meng Jingzhou’s directional teleportation talismans.

They hadn’t left because of his and Meng Jingzhou’s mutual understanding.

Both realized this was an excellent training opportunity for Barbarian Bone and Peach Blossom Leaf, with enemies that were just within and beyond their limits—a rare chance.

Lu Yang glanced at Barbarian Bone, who was engaged in fierce combat with the armored monster, his ancient barbarian bloodline continuously activating.

Interrupting this process would be detrimental.

Meng Jingzhou and Peach Blossom Leaf were both tied up in their battles.

Given the situation, he had no choice but to face Nine Infant himself.

“Hey, you can’t win this fight!” Everlasting Fairy worried for Lu Yang.

“I can. I have one move, theoretically feasible, but I’ve never used it before. I need your help, Fairy.”

“Hmm?”

In reality, Lu Yang slowly closed his eyes, appearing to fall asleep, his body swaying lazily.

Nine Infant’s nine heads sneered simultaneously. “Sleep Arhat Fist? Maybe that move will be effective against me once you reach the Golden Core stage.”

“No, this isn’t Sleep Arhat Fist. This is a technique I created myself—Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist.”

“Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist?” Nine Infant repeated instinctively.

As Lu Yang’s movements changed, his form began to shrink, and his appearance gradually became more feminine.

“Bluff!” One of the monsters snorted and charged at Lu Yang first.

A delicate fist punched the monster’s face with lightning speed. The monster had no time to react and was sent flying by the punch.

Nine Infant’s expression turned serious, staring intently at Lu Yang.

By now, Lu Yang had completely transformed, becoming a small yet stunningly beautiful girl.

“Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist—Yellow Bean Fist. Please, teach me!”
