Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 557: Letter from Third Senior Sister

Three months had passed since Lu Yang returned from the Five Elements Sect. On this day, the eldest senior sister received a letter delivered from afar and paused for a moment.

She pondered in her cave for a while and sighed softly.

"It seems I'll have to send Junior Brother on a trip."

At this moment, Lu Yang was at a critical stage in his cultivation.

He opened his mouth wide, absorbing spiritual power, sweat beading on his forehead and turning into mist, gathering above his head like auspicious clouds.

"Phew, I've finally advanced from the seventh level of the Golden Elixir stage to the eighth!"

As he opened his eyes, he saw the eldest senior sister standing in front of him, expressionless, asking, "Since when did the Golden Elixir stage have a seventh and eighth level?"

Lu Yang quickly revealed the mastermind behind it: "The Immortal Fairy said so. She mentioned that the more detailed the cultivation levels, the more motivated one becomes, and each step feels like an achievement!"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you selling me out?" The Immortal Fairy emerged from Lu Yang's body, displeased. She was dressed in pink pajamas, having just woken up to hear Lu Yang speak ill of her.

"How is this selling out? The eldest senior sister asked, and I answered truthfully."

"This is selling out."

"This is not selling out."

The eldest senior sister felt that if the two continued their discussion, nothing would get done today.

She pulled out a letter, the handwriting on the envelope delicate and cute, addressed to 'Eldest Senior Sister Yun Zhi.'

"This is..."

"Your third senior sister, Gan Tian, sent this from the Demon Realm. She mentioned seeing some ancient-related things there and wanted me to find a scholar familiar with ancient history to help her research or answer some questions."

This was no ordinary letter but an artifact with two types: mother and child. The eldest senior sister had the mother artifact, while the third senior sister had the child artifact. Whatever the third senior sister wrote would synchronize to the eldest senior sister.

"I thought about it, and you're the most knowledgeable about ancient history. If you're not busy, you could make a trip to the Demon Realm."

Lu Yang considered it. Having just reached the eighth level, he was still far from the ninth. Staying in the sect for cultivation wasn't ideal; it might be better to go out and explore.

"I'll go."

Seeing Lu Yang agree so readily, the eldest senior sister seemed to see the shadow of their master in him.

She reminded him, "You might discover something new at the border between the Central Continent and the demon race. You can ask the third junior sister when you meet her."

...

A cultivator dressed in gray silk descended, hands tucked in his sleeves, a faint smile on his face, squinting so much that his eyes were almost invisible.

"Halt, who goes there?"

The Seek Tao Sect disciple guarding the mountain gate raised his hand, stopping the gray silk cultivator from entering, eyeing him warily.

The gray silk cultivator had anticipated this and pulled a letter from his sleeve, handing it to the two.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I am Xu You, the steward of the Meng family, here to visit our young master. Please grant me passage."

The Seek Tao Sect disciple opened the envelope, which was an introduction letter from the Meng family, verifying Xu You's identity. No one dared to forge such a thing.

The Meng family was known for deceiving others, not the other way around. Anyone impersonating the Meng family clearly didn't want to stay in the Central Continent.

"So it's Senior Xu. May I ask what business you have with Junior Brother Meng?"

Everyone in the Seek Tao Sect knew Meng Jingzhou was the young master of the Meng family, but no one mentioned it.

Xu You sighed, his smile fading: "What else could it be? I'm here to persuade the young master to change his mind. His parents miss him and want me to convince him to visit home."

Saying this, he pulled out two storage rings from his sleeve and placed them in the hands of the two Seek Tao Sect disciples.

"In this cold weather, it must be hard for you two to guard the gate. There are some trinkets in the storage rings; please grant me passage."

The Seek Tao Sect disciples repeatedly refused.

"This is absolutely unacceptable. The sect strictly forbids accepting bribes. If discovered, the punishment will be severe!"

"Please, take them. This matter is known only to us three. If none of us speak, who will know?"

The two Seek Tao Sect disciples, unable to refuse, reluctantly accepted.

"It's only natural for parents to want to see their son. Please, Senior Xu, go ahead." The Seek Tao Sect disciple folded the letter, placed it back in the envelope, returned it to Xu You, and stepped aside.

Entering the Seek Tao Sect, Xu You put away his worried expression and wore a friendly smile again.

The River Spirit poked its head out, surfacing.

Xu You nodded in greeting to the River Spirit, waiting until it submerged again before continuing forward.

He had already inquired and knew the young master was in the cave on the Body Refinement Peak, with an old horse grazing at the entrance, making it easy to find.

He greeted the old horse, which snorted in response, indicating that Meng Jingzhou was inside.

Xu You lightly knocked on the stone door, three times, waited thirty seconds, and, hearing no response, knocked three more times.

As he prepared to knock again, Meng Jingzhou impatiently pushed open the stone door: "Who is it? I'm not in seclusion. If you want to see me, just come in..."

He looked up and saw Xu You's face, surprised that it was him knocking, and asked warily, "Steward Xu, why are you here?"

"Young master, can we talk inside? Some things are not convenient to discuss outside."

Meng Jingzhou had no choice but to invite Steward Xu inside.

Inside the cave, Steward Xu found a straw mat to sit on and explained his purpose: "The master hasn't seen you for two years and wants you to visit. He said he misses you."

"Impossible."

Meng Jingzhou refused without thinking. He had left home with such determination; how could he return after just two years?

"The master said he knows about the mistakes you made and has forgiven you."

Meng Jingzhou looked suspiciously at Xu You's smiling face, trying to discern the truth from his words.

"Really?"

"Really."

Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed: "The incident where I orchestrated my father and my uncle to spend lavishly at the High-class Brothel, competing for the courtesan, and ended up awkwardly meeting when the curtain was pulled back—my father forgave me for that?"

"The time I beat up the grandson of Minister Li, the youngest son of Minister Gong, and the young prince—I thought I had covered my tracks well, but my father found out and forgave me?"

"My father wanted to take a concubine, and I told my mother, leading my grandfather to beat my father in the dark—my father found out it was me and forgave me?"

"And..."

The more Xu You listened, the more alarmed he became. The master had only mentioned two or three incidents, but not the rest.

He coughed twice, steeling himself to say, "Young master, you don't have to rush home. The master is busy with affairs and may not have time to see you. You can choose a day to return."

"I mainly came for another matter."

"What matter?"

Xu You smiled, his voice low and sinister: "I heard you're close with Lu Yang, Pride Lu. The master said this young man has great talent and will achieve great things in the future. Perhaps he could be of use to our Meng family..."

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
