Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 160: Everlasting Fairy’s Words Become Law

“Is the real question from twenty years ago not a real question? Young man, don’t limit your thinking so narrowly.”

“Have you not heard that the older something is, the higher its value? When I was tomb raiding with Old Nine, we always targeted the oldest things. We even found a treasure from the early Great Qian era, which was owned by a Tribulation Crossing Stage demon.”

Yun Zhi had heard a bit about this. Her master and the Eighth Elder had raided a tomb together and found an early Great Qian era treasure that could contain the waters of three rivers and five lakes, invaluable. The two of them started fighting over it then and there.

Later, upon appraisal, it was discovered to be a chamber pot used by some Tribulation Crossing Stage demon. (TL Note: A chamber pot is a portable toilet, meant for nocturnal use in the bedroom. It was common in many cultures before the advent of indoor plumbing and flushing)

The Eighth Elder continued, “Go ask around outside. The Dao Seeking Sect’s exam questions are priceless. I’m doing you a favor by selling you the real question, so don’t be picky.”

“Do you know how much risk I took to sell this set of questions? I’m doing this for the profit of the Dao Seeking Sect!”

The Eighth Elder spoke righteously, making Lu Yang nod repeatedly in agreement: “The Eighth Elder makes sense. In that case, the Eighth Elder’s salary should also be delayed by twenty years.”

“That won’t do,” the Eighth Elder hurriedly objected.

“Don’t worry, Eighth Elder, it’s not that you won’t get your salary, just that it will be delayed by twenty years. Isn’t a salary delayed by twenty years still a salary?”

“Or does the Eighth Elder think the sect is in difficulty and voluntarily requests no salary? If the Eighth Elder has such noble thoughts, I will definitely commend you publicly and encourage everyone to learn from the spirit of the Eighth Elder.”

At this point, Yun Zhi spoke up: “Eighth Elder, considering you are a friend of my master, just return the spirit stones you swindled from Meng Jingzhou, and we will let this matter rest.”

The Eighth Elder had no choice but to return the spirit stones begrudgingly.

With the spirit stones returned, Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed. Then Yun Zhi said, “Meng Jingzhou, you were also at fault for buying the real questions. As long as you hand over the money used to buy the questions to the sect, we will let this matter rest.”

Meng Jingzhou was dumbfounded, thinking Eldest Senior Sister was on his side.

Having no choice, Meng Jingzhou had to hand over the spirit stones to the sect.

“Wait, what about Lu Yang? This guy discussed with me on the carriage how to deal with the examination, harboring ill intentions!” Meng Jingzhou tried to drag Lu Yang down with him.

Lu Yang sneered, “Then go tell the Sect Leader about me! Considering the Sect Leader is not here, you can go to the acting Sect Leader.”

“I believe the acting Sect Leader is a fair and strict person and will not favor anyone.”

“Damn it…”

Meng Jingzhou glared at Lu Yang, thinking, wait until I become the Sect Leader, you’ll see!

After the Eighth Elder and Meng Jingzhou left, Everlasting Fairy took over Lu Yang’s body again.

Everlasting Fairy looked at the matters that needed handling and felt that being a Sect Leader was difficult.

“How do the people from Ying Tian Immortal manage to control those planets when their problem-solving skills are about the same as mine?”

Yun Zhi sighed softly and reminded, “Just as you can assign tasks to the eight elders, the Sect Leader also has the right to order disciples to do things. You can delegate the review tasks to experienced disciples.”

“Right.” Everlasting Fairy realized, letting the golden boy Lu Yang handle these matters.

Lu Yang took a deep breath, “Doesn’t it all imply that Eldest Senior Sister is suggesting she handle these matters?”

After going around in circles, it still ended up being the reliable Eldest Senior Sister who took care of these messy affairs.

Sometimes, Lu Yang felt fortunate that the Dao Seeking Sect had Eldest Senior Sister; otherwise, the sect would have been doomed sooner or later.

“I wonder how the outside world views the Dao Seeking Sect.”

Everlasting Fairy, with hands behind back, looked at the martial arts training ground being maintained, nodding frequently, like a leader inspecting the countryside.

Near the training ground, there were many small platforms for disciples to spar.

The Dao Seeking Sect still places a great emphasis on practical combat training to prevent its disciples from being bullied outside.

Lu Yang felt that the higher-ups of the Dao Seeking Sect were overthinking things.

At this time, on the platform, two Golden Core stage Senior Brothers and Sisters were battling, their Golden Cores full and shining brightly, clearly of the highest quality and at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Lu Yang recognized these two. The Golden Core stage Senior Brother was named Luo Hai, with a Golden Core known as the White Day Vast Sea Core, skilled in water attribute spells and having slain several Nascent Soul Stage demonic cultivators. In the talent-filled Dao Seeking Sect, he was a prominent figure.

The Golden Core stage Senior Sister was named Yi Jing, from the imperial city’s Yi family. Although not as distinguished as Meng Jingzhou’s family, they were still a well-known clan in the Central Continent. Senior Sister Yi Jing had an impressive experience, comparing her family’s ancestral techniques with various techniques from the scripture pavilion and initially modifying them to better suit herself.

These two were no ordinary individuals, and their bout attracted many spectators hoping to gain insights to aid their cultivation.

Everlasting Fairy swaggered over, drawing some attention. To outsiders, Lu Yang was the first disciple to exchange for a Sect Leader experience coupon, which was very inspiring.

Most people were focused on the battle and did not notice Everlasting Fairy’s arrival.

“Watch me demonstrate what it means to fight across levels!” Everlasting Fairy said to Lu Yang, who had a bad feeling about this.

“Wait, what are you going to do…”

Before Lu Yang could finish, Everlasting Fairy controlled Lu Yang’s body and jumped onto the platform.

Seeing Everlasting Fairy, the two combatants were curious about what this newly appointed acting Sect Leader’s junior brother intended to do.

“I want to challenge both of you.”

Luo Hai and Yi Jing were stunned, then surprised, causing an uproar among the spectators. Lu Yang, only at the mid-stage of Foundation Building, was challenging two at the peak of the Golden Core stage?

However, Luo Hai and Yi Jing did not refuse Lu Yang’s challenge.

The two stood opposite Everlasting Fairy. “Junior brother, you go first.”

Everlasting Fairy revealed a smile. “In the name of the acting Sect Leader, I order you two to jump off the platform.”

Lu Yang: “……”

Luo Hai: “……”

Yi Jing: “……”

The crowd of Senior Brothers and Sisters below: “……”

Is this how the powers of an acting Sect Leader are used?

The words of the acting Sect Leader had to be obeyed, so the two did not hesitate and jumped off, losing the match.

Everlasting Fairy’s actions quickly piqued the interest of many Senior Brothers and Sisters.

“Brother Ma, go check out the platform. I heard Lu Yang refined the power of ‘his words become law,’ defeating several Golden Core stage brothers and sisters, and even claimed he wants to challenge those at the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“Really?” Brother Ma showed a keen interest.

Ma Tianyang, at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, a disciple of the Refining Artifact Peak, excelled in using fire and forging weapons. He once fought a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator while simultaneously refining artifacts, defeating the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator with a continuous stream of spirit treasures.

“Let’s check it out.”

The disciple who encouraged Ma Tianyang revealed a triumphant smile.

As Ma Tianyang approached the platform, he heard Everlasting Fairy boasting loudly, “Hahaha, I am invincible among the Golden Core stage, bring on someone from the Nascent Soul Stage!”

Hearing this, Ma Tianyang immediately jumped onto the platform, then witnessed Everlasting Fairy’s “his words become law.”

That day, Everlasting Fairy fought across levels, defeating cultivators from the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation stages with his mid-stage Foundation Building cultivation, becoming famous.

That day, Lu Yang wished he could bury himself in the ground.
