Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Dao Seeking Sect, Medicine Garden.

Under the night sky, Old Man Ba was as usual guarding the medicine garden. He sent out a clone to sit opposite him and play chess with himself.

“Old Man Ba,” a familiar voice reached his ears.

“Little Lu? What are you doing at the medicine garden so late?”

Cultivators’ activities aren’t bound by day or night, but most disciples rarely come to the medicine garden at night.

Lu Yang, looking a bit embarrassed, said, “Do you have any particularly precious…”

“Herbs?”

“Dirt.”

“What do you need dirt for?”

Old Man Ba: “…”

He had long heard that Yun Zhi was out of touch with the world and could inadvertently torment people. Now, it seemed she had finally tormented Lu Yang to this extent?

“No, it’s not that. I cultivated a technique that allows me to eat dirt. I want to try some and see what it tastes like.”

Old Man Ba rubbed his chin and looked Lu Yang up and down: “I remember the last time you came to the medicine garden, you had just learned the Shrinking Earth technique. This time, you come back and you’re eating dirt. Did you inherit from the earthworm lineage?”

Shrinking Earth and eating dirt were the specialties of the Silver Ring Heavenly King Worms.

Lu Yang said seriously, “This is an ancient inheritance.”

“Ancient earthworm?”

Old Man Ba didn’t delve into it further. Nothing the Dao Seeking Sect disciples did would surprise him; he had seen it all: “Never mind, it’s not your first time here. One pair of earthworms is resting, and another is on their honeymoon. Just go find some dirt in the garden yourself, near the Little Medicine Kings.”

Just as Lu Yang was about to enter the garden, Old Man Ba called out, “By the way, have you ever been in love?”

“No.”

Old Man Ba nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Do you know what girls like to hear the most?”

Lu Yang turned and asked Everlasting Fairy in his spiritual space, “What do you like to hear from others?”

“Praise my beauty and intelligence.”

Lu Yang turned back to Old Man Ba and said, “Praise her beauty and intelligence.”

Old Man Ba pondered, “Got it, you can go in.”

…

Returning to the medicine garden after a long absence, Lu Yang walked familiarly toward the residence of the Little Medicine Kings.

Under the tall Enlightenment Tree, the Little Medicine Kings were holding hands, singing, and dancing around a campfire.

“What smells so good…”

“Ginseng King, your roots are burning!”

“Quick, help me put out the fire.”

The Little Medicine Kings swarmed the Ginseng Child, stomping and kicking until they managed to put out the fire just before it went out.

“Lu Yang, you’re here?” The Enlightenment Tree was the first to notice Lu Yang’s arrival and greeted him with a smile.

“Is it Lu Yang?”

The Little Medicine Kings, hearing the Enlightenment Tree speak, also noticed Lu Yang.

The Little Medicine Kings jumped around Lu Yang’s feet, looking very happy.

Lu Yang shrank his body and looked over the Little Medicine Kings he hadn’t seen for months: the Ginseng Child, Three-Leaf Star Grass, Flower of Time’s End, and the Qilin Immortal Medicine.

Seeing that Lu Yang was willing to shrink down to their size, the Little Medicine Kings were even more pleased: “So, how’s the plan to counterattack the female demon progressing?”

Last time they parted, Lu Yang had tricked the Little Medicine Kings, saying he also hated the female demon Yun Zhi and wanted to team up with them to counterattack Yun Zhi.

At that time, Lu Yang didn’t know the true strength of Eldest Senior Sister, thinking she was just a Unity Stage Cultivator, and figured he might surpass her after cultivating for a few thousand years.

Now it seemed, even if he cultivated for thousands of years and revived Everlasting Fairy, they still might not be able to defeat Eldest Senior Sister.

“I knew it, Lu Yang, you also wanted to teach that Yun girl a lesson!” Everlasting Fairy, finding a like-minded friend, excitedly left the spiritual space.

“Huh, a soul form or a human. Who are you?” The Ginseng Child, with its two roots akimbo, looked confident.

It had heard and seen cases of human cultivators harboring powerful souls. Those powerful souls, at best, were at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

A Tribulation Crossing Stage? Can they live as long as these Medicine Kings?

“Little medicine child, show some respect to this fairy. Do you know who I am?” As the head of The Five Ancient Immortals, Everlasting Fairy had seen everything. Medicine Kings were nothing to her. She could have as many as she wanted; countless Little Medicine Kings willingly followed her, but she was too lazy to care for them.

Everlasting Fairy released a faint aura, which immediately caused the Little Medicine Kings to fall to the ground in shock. It seemed that the presence of this fairy had a natural suppressive effect on them.

“Wh-who are you?”

Even the Enlightenment Tree was taken aback. It didn’t know who this soul was, but instinctively felt a strange fear mixed with a bit of desire toward Everlasting Fairy.

The Little Medicine Kings could live for a long time, but they could never escape the constraints of their lifespan and would eventually reach the end of their lives.

However, Everlasting Fairy, being a symbol of eternal life and immortality, was the ultimate pursuit of the Little Medicine Kings, and she naturally suppressed them.

For instance, when Lu Yang was previously struggling against the Mu Tian Grass in the dense forest, Everlasting Fairy intended to teach it a lesson by releasing her aura to suppress it. However, when Lu Yang entered a state of enlightenment, she decided not to proceed with it.

“I am Everlasting Fairy, head of The Five Ancient Immortals from three hundred thousand years ago. Currently, I am the only guest elder of the Dao Seeking Sect, respectfully invited by Yun Zhi herself!”

“I was the first to become immortal in ancient times, established the Heavenly Court, and am the Supreme Great Celestial of the Heavenly Court—Bean Celestial!”

“That’s amazing!” The Little Medicine Kings were stunned by the numerous identities of Everlasting Fairy and looked at her with admiration.

“Hehe, now you see how powerful this fairy is?”

“When I fully recover my strength, I will lead you to attack Yun Zhi, so she will know who is truly the strongest!”

The Little Medicine Kings applauded enthusiastically, thinking Everlasting Fairy was incredibly powerful and confident.

“Fairy, are you currently recovering your strength inside Lu Yang?”

“You’re half right. Not only am I recovering my strength inside Lu Yang, but I have also set up various trials for him. Once he completes these trials, I will designate him as my heir!”

“I’ve made Lu Yang experience the feeling of gaining power, letting him be the Sect Master of Dao Seeking Sect for three days, holding supreme authority, basking in glory. After three days, his senior brothers and sisters were all lining up to see him!”

“I guide his cultivation, tell him ancient secrets, teach him great divine abilities like Shrinking Earth into Inches and Swallowing Heaven Devouring Earth, and use his body to challenge stronger opponents, building his invincible aura!”

“Lu Yang successfully formed the first ever Invincible Golden Core under my guidance!”

The Little Medicine Kings were left speechless, thinking Lu Yang was incredibly fortunate to become the heir of an immortal who taught him everything.

What a tremendous opportunity!

Even though they had never heard of an Invincible Core before, being called the first ever Golden Core by an immortal spoke volumes about its power.

Lu Yang opened his mouth, wanting to say that Everlasting Fairy was exaggerating. But on second thought, it seemed that she was telling the truth.

Who taught her to speak like this?

Lu Yang interrupted Everlasting Fairy’s self-praise, saying, “We came to the medicine garden to ask if there is any particularly precious soil here. I need it for my cultivation.”
