Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Pellet Cauldron Peak.

“Our most important task as alchemists is to learn to break through the limitations of our thinking. Pills do not necessarily have to enhance the strength of those who take them, like this Ten Bulls Strength Pill I’ve created,” Wu Ming lectured at the Pellet Cauldron Academy, explaining the principles of alchemy in a simple and understandable way.

The disciples below hurriedly took notes, as these precious alchemy principles were hard to come by outside.

Outside alchemists emphasize inheritance, adhering to the notion that teaching a disciple too well might starve the master, making it difficult to learn alchemy principles in the outside world.

Pellet Cauldron Peak is different; they wish to teach everything they know to the new brothers and sisters.

Outside alchemists stick to tradition, believing in the unchangeability of ancestral methods, hence understanding Pellet Cauldron Peak’s alchemy principles is challenging.

Wu Ming felt proud seeing his brothers and sisters listening intently.

This year’s Dao Seeking Sect did not only recruit Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Barbarian Bone, Tao Yao Ye, and Li Haoran because of their exceptional talents. They overshadowed other new disciples, making it easy to overlook them.

Besides these five, there were many disciples with dual or triple spiritual roots or unique skills, forming the backbone of the future Dao Seeking Sect.

They have been learning the nuances of alchemy for over a year at Pellet Cauldron Peak.

“Many cultivators have the habit of taking pills during battle to burst forth with strength several times their own, surprising their opponent and securing victory.”

“While victory is good, this practice can cause the multiplied strength to surge through the meridians. Meridians have their limits, and rashly impacting them can cause significant damage, even harming the foundation, which is detrimental to cultivation.”

“Our duty as alchemists is to heal and save people, to prevent such situations as much as possible.”

“For this, I studied hard, visited a friend skilled in summoning arrays next door, and finally created this Ten Bulls Strength Pill.”

“The pill contains a micro summoning array. Once consumed, it uses the body as a medium to summon ten water buffaloes to aid in battle.”

“Brother Wu, where are these ten water buffaloes summoned from?” a keen and cute younger sister asked during the class.

Wu Ming smiled and replied, “They’re called from the spiritual fields.”

The food in the cafeteria and restaurants mostly comes from Dao Seeking Sect’s own spiritual fields.

Growing such high-quality grains and other foods requires strict standards for soil, fertilizers, and farming methods.

Working hard in the spiritual fields are the Blue-Eyed Water Buffaloes, with immense strength and powerful cultivations ranging from Qi Refinement to Nascent Soul stages, even including an old Ox King in the Soul Transformation stage, truly formidable.

The Third Elder, in his younger days, once pushed aside the oxen to farm the land himself for an entire night. The oxen mentioned here belong to the Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo clan.

The Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo clan enjoys head-butting each other with their horns. Wu Ming contacted them to see if they could be summoned for battle, and they happily agreed.

“As alchemists, you must think like me, put yourselves in the shoes of those who consume the pills, consider why they take pills, the side effects, and if there are better solutions.”

Wu Ming wrote a paper on his creation of the Ten Bulls Strength Pill and submitted it to the authoritative alchemy publication “Dan Huo”. The editor was shocked by Wu Ming’s out-of-the-box idea and forwarded it to the authoritative publication in the summoning field.

It has now been successfully published.

Wu Ming knew his ideas were ahead of their time and needed to give cultivators some time to adapt. Therefore, he set the price of the Foundation-level Ten Bulls Strength Pill very low, at only a hundred contribution points.

To put it in perspective, even a youtiao in the cafeteria costs one hundred and fifty contribution points.

Wu Ming also clearly marked its effect as “granting the strength of ten bulls” on the exchange list, considering it very thoroughly.

…

Lu Yang was lost in thought.

To say the pill was fake, it indeed granted the strength of ten bulls, matching the description and effect without any exaggeration.

But to say the pill was genuine, something felt off.

What went wrong?

Hard to figure out.

The ten Foundation Establishment stage water buffaloes, robust and strong, charged at the tiger demon with great momentum.

Against these wild buffaloes, the tiger demon, even at half-step Golden Core stage, wouldn’t dare to be hit by such a group.

No matter how strong the tiger demon was, it couldn’t surpass the strength of the buffalo demons.

As unreliable as Pellet Cauldron Peak may seem, they never got the effects of their pills wrong. The summoned ten wild buffaloes were indeed capable of defeating the tiger demon.

Barbarian Bone and Meng Jingzhou, seeing this, unconsciously relaxed.

The battle was decided; the tiger demon had no chance of turning the tide.

The tiger demon’s eyes bulged, and its fur bristled, realizing it couldn’t defeat the ten water buffaloes.

If so, then it would take someone down with it!

Just then, with a loud crash, the mountain god temple collapsed.

The temple was already on the verge of falling, and a mere bump from the ten water buffaloes brought it down.

For a moment, dust mixed with the heavy rain, obscuring visibility.

The tiger demon seized the opportunity, leaped high with all four limbs, evading the buffalo’s attack, and pounced towards Lu Yang with lightning speed.

Only this human must die!

The water buffaloes, bulky and not good at jumping, failed to react to this sudden change.

Barbarian Bone and Meng Jingzhou shouted in alarm, but it was too late to save Lu Yang.

Everyone was panicked, except for Lu Yang, who remained calm.

He had anticipated the tiger demon’s desperate final attack, intending to perish together with him.

Trapped beasts fight most fiercely!

Lu Yang didn’t dodge or evade but used the spell “Shrink,” shrinking himself and his sword together.

The tiger demon missed its target, and Lu Yang, now beneath it, resumed his size, with azure spiritual energy flowing along his sword blade, all converging at the tip.

“Break!”

Lu Yang executed the “Break Word Technique,” his Qingfeng Sword irresistibly piercing the tiger demon’s thick fur. With a sound, the sword pierced the tiger demon’s abdomen, the bloody tip emerging from its back.

This was a sword move he learned at Tianmen Peak. Among all sword moves, it had the strongest offensive capability, capable of depleting most of his spiritual energy and was not to be used lightly.

In the battle just now, Lu Yang had pinpointed the tiger demon’s weakness; its abdomen was the least defended.

Lu Yang released sword qi, fine as cow hair and azure in color, exploding within the tiger demon, like countless needles piercing through it.

The tiger demon’s body crackled like fireworks, the noise traveling up its spine to the crown of its head.

The tiger demon bled from all seven orifices, collapsing to the ground.

Leaning against the wall, Lu Yang, exhausted and panting heavily, signaled Barbarian Bone and Meng Jingzhou to assist Lan Ting in eliminating the demon.

The female tiger demon, seeing her husband dead, became even more ferocious, determined to fight to the death. Lan Ting was almost unable to suppress this cornered beast.

Before Barbarian Bone and Meng Jingzhou could join the new fight, the water buffalo demons turned their attention towards the female tiger demon.

The female tiger demon, failing to dodge in time, was trampled into a bloody mess by the water buffaloes.

The battle ended.

Lan Ting opened her mouth, thinking about the various strange and unbelievable rumors about Dao Seeking Sect her sisters had mentioned. Initially skeptical, she now believed about seventy percent of them.
