Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 127: Sword Flight

Lu Yang spent three days at Hundred Refinements Peak, during which he constantly discussed with Li Haoran how to better refine flying sword add-ons.

“It needs to be as light as possible; otherwise, it won’t fly or will fly too slowly.”

“Do you think we should install an ejector seat? So, it automatically shoots upwards in case of danger, escaping to the heavens?”

“Place the flying sword above the head? No, no, that won’t do. I am practicing legitimate sword flying techniques. Have you ever seen a swordsman who mounts their flying sword above their head?”

Persistence pays off. After three days of effort, the add-on was finally refined.

“Should we name it?” Li Haoran suggested that Lu Yang give it a name.

“How about calling it ‘Flying Chariot’? Its shape is like a carriage, and it can fly in the sky,” Lu Yang proposed a rather simple name.

“Brother Lu, would you like to try?” With the add-on refined, Li Haoran felt a sense of satisfaction and wanted to see how Lu Yang would fly.

Lu Yang nodded, somewhat excited. He sat in the chariot, grabbed the steering wheel, and didn’t move for a while.

Lu Yang scratched his head: “I just remembered, I haven’t learned how to fly with the sword yet.”

Li Haoran: “…”

I was excitedly refining all this time, and you can’t even fly?

“Don’t worry, I’ll learn it now.” Lu Yang was calm and asked Everlasting Fairy to teach him the sword flying technique.

The sword flying technique is a must-learn spell for sword cultivators, widely known, and Everlasting Fairy naturally knew this basic skill.

To be honest, Everlasting Fairy was not very keen on teaching Lu Yang the sword flying technique. If he learned it incorrectly, her lifetime reputation could be ruined.

“The so-called sword flying technique involves using the sword as a medium, carrying the consciousness. The stronger the consciousness, the higher the compatibility with the sword, and the faster the sword will fly…”

Everlasting Fairy was far better at teaching than the Eldest Senior Sister, explaining in a simple and understandable way. It didn’t take long for Lu Yang to learn the sword flying technique.

The Qingfeng Sword floated in the air, moving freely. Lu Yang felt that even if an elephant were to step on the Qingfeng Sword, it could still fly smoothly.

Lu Yang’s talent in swordsmanship was indisputable.

Lu Yang had an insight; perhaps this was the function of the Sword Spirit Root, ensuring that one could learn swordsmanship and techniques correctly.

There was a groove underneath the Flying Chariot, and the Qingfeng Sword fit perfectly in it, not falling out, exceptionally stable.

Lu Yang got into the chariot again, held the steering wheel, activated the sword flying technique, and the Flying Chariot really started to fly, propelled by the Qingfeng Sword!

The Flying Chariot initially hovered slowly, not because the Qingfeng Sword was slow, but because Lu Yang was not yet fully accustomed to this new way of flying.

As the Flying Chariot hovered at a high altitude, Lu Yang gradually mastered the flying technique. The flying speed increased, performing “8” shaped maneuvers and eventually even sharp turns, which was incredible!

With the physique of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment, issues like lack of oxygen and pressure did not affect Lu Yang at all.

“Ha ha, Even I, Lu Yang, have a day of sword flight!” Lu Yang laughed heartily, knowing that every problem has a solution.

Who says I dare not fly to the sky?

Everlasting Fairy found this feeling quite fresh.

On Hundred Refinement Peak, countless people looked up at Lu Yang’s sword flight, dumbfounded.

The Flying Chariot, an advanced mode of transportation, was considered a cross-era vehicle even in the forward-thinking, self-proclaimed trend-leading Hundred Refinement Peak.

“Look, what is that?!” The junior brothers and sisters from the same cohort as Lu Yang were surprised to see the metal shell flying in the sky.

“I asked Brother Li Haoran a question yesterday and saw this; it’s a magic weapon refined for Brother Lu!”

“Brother Lu? You mean the same Lu Yang who possesses a Sword Spirit Root, ranked first among us, and successfully became a disciple of the sect leader?”

A junior brother widened his eyes, holding Lu Yang in high regard.

Without direct contact with Lu Yang, one would be shocked by his lifetime achievements, considering him a safe, stable, and reliable senior brother.

Of course, there are also those who have had long-term direct contact with Lu Yang and still haven’t changed their initial impression of him, like Barbarian Bone.

“Yes, that’s him! Brother Li said that this is Brother Lu’s sword flying technique!”

“It’s amazing, this is completely different from the sword flying techniques I’ve seen, it gives a sense of inexplicable safety! No need for insurance!”

Among the insurance types proposed by the Land of Gold Commerce, there is one for flight, which can be divided into flight loss insurance, third-party liability insurance, etc.

“Brother Lu, who is the same age as us, has already been able to create his own sword flying technique, that’s the difference!”

“It’s a pity I’m not a sword cultivator, otherwise I would learn this sword flying technique no matter what!”

Lu Yang had a great time flying in the sky before landing, looking somewhat reluctant to end the experience.

After getting off, Lu Yang noticed Li Haoran respectfully standing aside, and Elder Zhou Xin had arrived at some point.

“Elder Zhou.” Lu Yang greeted respectfully.

“Hehe, Lu Yang, right? I heard the whole process from Haoran. Your creativity is commendable, it might even become a mainstream mode of transportation in the future.”

“Elder Zhou flatters me.”

“Those familiar with me know I don’t make a habit of flattering. This Flying Chariot could bring you a lot of benefits.”

“Benefits?” Lu Yang was puzzled.

Elder Zhou turned to Li Haoran and said, “Since you’ve also come out of seclusion, you should get familiar with the main business of Hundred Refinement Peak. Our peak regularly produces items that have never been seen before. To protect the rights to these inventions and gain benefits, we regularly apply for patents at the government office.”

“The same goes for Pellet Cauldron Peak. This is a major source of income for both Hundred Refinement Peak and Pellet Cauldron Peak.”

“In a few days, your senior brothers will go down the mountain to register. Organize Lu Yang’s invention ideas and go with your senior brothers.”

Elder Zhou then said to Lu Yang, “You have good talent and a bright mind, naturally fitting for our Dao Seeking Sect. Learn well from Yun Zhi, the future of Dao Seeking Sect is yours. Try to stay away from that old rascal, Elder Nine.”

Lu Yang shrank his neck. Normally, as a disciple, he should defend his master against Elder Zhou’s insults, but he thought adopting Everlasting Fairy’s “if you can’t beat them, join them” optimistic spirit wasn’t a bad idea either.

Everlasting Fairy frowned, feeling Lu Yang was contemplating something very rude, but she had no proof.

“How is master doing now?”

Elder Zhou coldly chuckled, remaining silent.

…

At Heaven’s Gate Peak, in the pine forest.

The seal of the cave dwelling was finally broken. Everyone from the Great Elder to the Eighth Elder had already left, leaving only Daoist Non-Speaker, who was unwilling to leave.

Daoist Non-Speaker was tied up like a worm, wriggling on the ground with yellow paper stuck to his forehead and his mouth gagged with a sock, making muffled noises.

The rope was a top-tier treasure, preventing Daoist Non-Speaker from breaking free with brute force. The yellow paper sealed his magical powers, making it impossible for him to cast spells.

How long it would take for Daoist Non-Speaker to wriggle out depended on his fate.

This was the punishment for Daoist Non-Speaker disturbing the eight who were meditating in an attempt to break the seal by banging drums and gongs.
