Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 116: Sharing Difficulties Together

Lu Yang was fully focused on barbecuing the Kui ox, a competition of wisdom, perseverance, and luck that didn’t allow for the slightest negligence. He didn’t notice Grandpa Ba’s schadenfreude at that moment.

The barbecue was finally ready, its fragrance lingering in the kitchen for three days. The Three-Flavors True Fire, truly a unique creation of Lu Yang, proved to have its merits.

There are a total of 108 types of true fire in the world, and with his talent, Lu Yang had added another to the list, making this flame extraordinary!

If Lu Yang wished, he could open a continent-wide chain of barbecue restaurants or even establish a Barbecue Sect!

This was an opportunity many Barbarian Bones could not even dream of!

But Lu Yang was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no plans in that direction.

Lu Yang placed the roasted Kui ox on a plate, accompanied by roasted potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower as garnishes, ready to be served. The puppet looked at Lu Yang surprisingly, not expecting him to think so comprehensively.

Just as Lu Yang was about to leave the kitchen, he noticed a large piece of meat missing from the Kui ox, revealing stark white bones.

Lu Yang remembered the Flesh Regeneration Pill he had just exchanged.

“What if I give the Kui ox a Flesh Regeneration Pill? Would it regrow the meat?” Lu Yang thought, seeing a great business opportunity.

Without hesitation, Lu Yang forced the pill into the Kui ox’s mouth.

A miraculous scene unfolded: a faint golden glow emerged from the wound on the Kui ox’s corpse. The roasted meat slowly levitated, reverted to its raw state, and drifted to the wound, seamlessly reattaching itself.

Lu Yang: “…”

Is this even scientific?

My hard-earned roasted meat just reverted?!

Even the puppet couldn’t hold back its laughter, sneaking out a chuckle.

Lu Yang had no choice but to start over.

Fortunately, with the experience from the first attempt, the second round was much faster. Lu Yang also found his proficiency in the “Chop Word Technique,” sword energy, and Three-Flavors True Fire had improved.

Could this be what Eldest Senior Sister intended, for him to grow through cooking?

Indeed, there is a cultivation path known as Spirit Cooking, where cultivators refine their skills through cooking. Lu Yang’s experience bore a striking resemblance to this practice.

“Eldest Senior Sister’s intentions are profound!” Lu Yang was deeply moved.

…

Eldest Senior Sister was meditating with her hands in the five-hearted posture in front of the dining table, surrounded by various phenomena like falling stars, revival of all things, and transformation of thunder tribulations… as if all the wonders of the world were concentrated here.

She noticed Lu Yang’s arrival and slowly opened her eyes. The various phenomena instantly retracted into her body as if nothing had happened.

“Roasted Kui ox?” Yun Zhi glanced at the carefully prepared dinner by Lu Yang without saying much, indicating for him to join her.

Lu Yang sat upright at the dining table, nervously waiting for Eldest Senior Sister to eat first.

Yun Zhi sliced a piece, opened her mouth slightly, and tasted it: “Not bad.”

Lu Yang’s heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down.

Yun Zhi opened her storage space and handed a bottle of pills to Lu Yang, who saw “Digestion Aid Pill” inscribed on the bottle.

“This is a classic pill from Pellet Cauldron Peak, designed to promote your digestion and absorption of food. The spiritual energy contained in the roasted Kui ox far exceeds your capacity. You should eat slowly, using the pill as an aid to gradually absorb the energy.”

Reality has proven that Pellet Cauldron Peak was established at the very founding of the Dao Seeking Sect, and has stood steadfast until now, the pills it refines are still sometimes pretty effective.

Lu Yang ate a small piece, chewing lightly a few times. The Kui ox meat, like gelatin, slid into his stomach. The abundant spiritual energy surged within him, rushing towards his crown, and the fatigue from roasting the Kui ox vanished, leaving him feeling thoroughly refreshed.

Lu Yang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately took the pill and sat down to meditate, feeling waves of spiritual energy tides within his body.

The demon beasts qualified to be slain by Yun Zhi naturally possessed extremely high cultivation levels.

Yun Zhi elegantly ate the barbecue, chewing slowly, savoring the taste. Now, there were hardly any things left that could enhance her cultivation.

…

The seven elders gathered in the pine forest of Heaven’s Gate Peak. Except for the Grand Elder and Yun Zhi, all the high-ranking officials of the Dao Seeking Sect were present, including the elusive Sect Master.

“How could something happen to Ninth Junior Brother just like that?”

“Life is unpredictable; who can foresee the future?”

The seven elders discussed noisily, while Daoist Non-Speaker, who was meditating, was so angered he wanted to draw his sword for a duel.

“Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. I need to meditate quietly for three days and cannot break my meditative state,” Daoist Non-Speaker repeatedly warned himself not to get angry.

The seven elders took pleasure in the misfortune, as Ninth Junior Brother had always played tricks on them. Now that they had a chance to mock him, they naturally wouldn’t miss it. Such an opportunity might not come again in a lifetime!

“To me, Ninth Junior Brother is just too petty. Having a highly talented disciple is a good thing. How could he get so angry that he had a stroke?”

“Nonsense, how could this be a stroke? This is clearly a vegetative state!”

Daoist Non-Speaker could no longer hold back and roared, “Don’t push me too far!”

Who exactly leaked his situation?!

Little Yun? No, I can’t defeat her.

Then it must be Lu Yang!

“Ninth Junior Brother, you have a day like this too!” Grandpa Ba laughed gleefully.

In his youth, Grandpa Ba was fond of flowers and plants. At that time, Daoist Non-Speaker mentioned a method of cultivating with plants by burying oneself in the soil, leaving only the head exposed to sense the spiritual energy of the earth, which could increase cultivation levels.

Grandpa Ba still didn’t want to recall his foolish past!

A lifelong shame!

“You dare! Take my sword!” Daoist Non-Speaker executed the Four Absolute Sword Formation, attacking everyone. The seven elders immediately assumed defensive postures, but thunder appeared at the entrance of the cave, blocking the sword formation’s attack.

The seven elders breathed a sigh of relief; Yun Zhi’s defenses were reliable.

“Haha, Ninth Junior Brother, your swordsmanship has deteriorated. Even a small cave entrance can’t be penetrated. If it were me, I would have come out long ago!” Grandpa Ba laughed unrestrainedly.

Daoist Non-Speaker sneered, “If you’re capable, then blow open the cave entrance.”

“Heh, it’s just a cave entrance. How hard could it be to blow it open!” Grandpa Ba launched a massive palm strike at the cave entrance, which was also shattered by the thunder.

“Unexpected, let’s try again!” Grandpa Ba, not deterred, attempted again, but his attack was still neutralized by the thunder.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, “I’ve calculated the position of the formation’s eye, but my attacking methods are limited. I need everyone’s help!”

The six other elders gladly agreed.

All seven elders exerted their force simultaneously, attacking the spot identified by Grandpa Ba. For a moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the entire pine forest was enveloped in chaos and radiance, terrifying to behold.

The seal of the cave, as if provoked, unleashed a suction force that seemed capable of absorbing everything in the world. Seeing the situation turn dire, the seven elders tried to escape using various methods but were no match for the suction force and got pulled into the cave.

The seven elders: “……”

Daoist Non-Speaker was deeply moved. Was this the true brotherhood of fellow disciples? To share both good fortune and misfortune together.

…

Yun Zhi, who was eating, paused momentarily. She sensed that the seal she left for her master was disturbed.

The people of Dao Seeking Sect had various ingenious ideas, and Yun Zhi worried that someone might forcefully break the seal. Thus, she set up the seal so that if anyone attempted to force it open, they would be sucked into the cave and sealed together with it.

“Surely there wouldn’t be someone like that, right?” she murmured to herself, not entirely sure.
