Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 263: An Ancient Legacy That Is Not to Be Uttered Carelessly

Chapter 263: An Ancient Legacy That Is Not to Be Uttered Carelessly

With the death of the Nine-Infants Jiuying, morale on Lu Yang’s side surged, and they went all in to conclude their battles.

“Barbarian Tribe Battle Tactic—One Strength Conquers Ten Skills!” Man Gu roared angrily and struck with his fists left and right, bashing the armored demon beast’s head until it was flat.

The patterned giant python had lost its sanity in the illusory domain, swallowing half of its body. When it woke up, it was too late.

Meng Jingzhou witnessed Lu Yang slaying two demon beasts with one strike of the sword, and a sense of rivalry swelled within him. With the Heaven-Shaking Six Forms, he beat the tiger and lion demons to death.

Lu Yang’s three companions panted heavily, their faces wreathed in smiles. At the end of the day, they had won the battle.

Lu Yang hadn’t expended too much energy because he had used the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s power earlier.

“Deactivate!” With the battle over, there was no need for him to maintain the appearance of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

As soon as Lu Yang reverted to his original form, he felt his mind becoming active again, and his thought process was no longer as simplistic.

“What on earth did I just do?!” He recalled his earlier foolish acts, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

“You did great just now, very much like my style!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy gave Lu Yang a thumbs-up.

“That’s exactly the biggest problem!”

He recalled how the battle played out. When he used the Huang Doudou Fist to take on the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s appearance, his combat power did increase significantly, or perhaps “soar” might be a more fitting description. He could guarantee that he would be unbeatable among those at the Foundation Establishment Stage with the Huang Doudou Fist.

But the price I pay is too heavy.

Smiling foolishly, speaking foolishly... Luckily, I didn’t do anything too farcical this time; otherwise, how am I going to face others if this gets out?

Lu Yang silently resolved to treat the Huang Doudou Fist as a forbidden art, to be used only in the direst of circumstances.

“Immortal Fairy, I can’t imitate you so easily in the future. It’s too dangerous.” Lu Yang sighed. The power comes at the cost of my brain.

“I don’t think it’s dangerous though?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was baffled.

“That was impressive, Lu Yang. You even killed the jiuying! I didn’t expect your Animal Form Fist to be so effective.” Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily. “Too bad I can’t learn your Lu-Style Animal Form Fist. Otherwise, I’d transform into my dad or grandpa and borrow their power. I wonder who could defeat me then!” Meng Jingzhou showed a regretful expression.

“Though I still have something I can’t quite make head or tail of,” he said.

“What is it?”

“The jiuying wasn’t easy to deal with. Couldn’t we just have used the Targeted Teleportation Talisman to send it back to the Demon Suppression Pass?” Meng Jingzhou was puzzled. Lu Yang had the look of a martyr ready to sacrifice his life just now. Was that really necessary?

Lu Yang, “...”

It’s over. I’m starting to get converted by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. My brain isn’t working well anymore.

“Senior Brother Lu, who did you transform into just now?” Tao Yaoye was curious. When did Senior Brother Lu meet such a cute young girl?

“This is an ancient legacy that is not to be uttered carelessly,” Lu Yang answered enigmatically, though it wasn’t a complete lie.

The more the number of people who knew about the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, the more dangerous it became. Even now, they still had no idea who had killed the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, what methods the culprit had, and what their objectives were. Anyone aware of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence could potentially become a target of the mastermind lurking in the shadows.

For the time being, only five people knew of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy: Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, Yun Zhi, and the Everlasting Immortal.

It couldn’t be helped that Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu learned of her existence—they were present when the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was revived. As for Yun Zhi, it went without saying; it was still uncertain who would pose a threat to whom. Since the Everlasting Immortal couldn’t leave the Dao-Seeking Sect, the information was also safe on his end.

“Come come come, let’s check the spoils!” Meng Jingzhou beckoned everyone to dissect the demon beasts and inspect if there were any valuable items. He didn’t lack treasures and spirit stones, but what he enjoyed was the process of harvesting and collecting rewards.

Lu Yang had roasted the Nine-Infants Jiuying into a crisp. Its demon core was split into two, rendering it useless. Nothing else of note could be found.

The two demon beasts Lu Yang had beheaded were rather ordinary, only offering demon cores and furs.

The tiger demon Meng Jingzhou slayed could provide several favorable goods: tiger bones and a tiger whip which could boost one’s yang. Unfortunately, these were of no use to Meng Jingzhou.

The blood of the tiger and lion demons was quite valuable. A pill-concocting master could refine them and trace their origins, producing a drop of true blood from the luwu tiger beast and the nine-headed lion.

As for the patterned giant python, its gall’s detoxification properties could fetch a good price.

Tao Yaoye was the poorest among the four. Lu Yang and the other two had gone on undercover missions for the Everlasting Creed and contributed to its destruction in small ways. All of these had accumulated contribution points for them.

In contrast, although Tao Yaoye had worked on many missions, none of them compared to the ones related to the Everlasting Creed.

Man Gu stripped the scales from the armored demon beast. Since the scales were tough and hard to grip, they were suitable materials for crafting armor. “I’ll bring this back for Junior Brother Haoran to take a look.” He stored the scales in his identity jade pendant.

The four of them tidied up and lit a campfire to prepare for dinner. From the auction in the morning to the battles in the jungle in the afternoon, it had been a long day for them; now was the time to relax and enjoy. Especially after acquiring so many amazing ingredients, it would be a pity not to savor a meal.

Man Gu questioned, “Can we eat the lion? I heard in my tribe that there’s a traditional delicacy in the Central Plains called Lion’s Head. I’ve never tried it before.”

Tao Yaoye fell silent for a while before responding, “Junior Brother Man, have you considered that the Lion’s Head Stewed Meatballs[1] you’re talking about is different from the lion’s head we have now?”

“Aren’t they all called lion’s head?”

“...never mind, lion’s head it is then. We’ll eat lion today,” Tao Yaoye conceded.

Everyone worked on their delegated tasks. Although Man Gu had never eaten lions before, he was used to handling other demon beasts back in his tribe. The process was mostly similar, so he was in charge of processing the lion.

Lu Yang chopped down a huge tree and used his Qingfeng Sword to carve it into a three-meter-long rod to skewer the lion.

Meng Jingzhou set up a large-scale Automatic Barbecue Array and put together the grilling rack.

Tao Yaoye went off to search for edible fruits in case they got tired of the meat.

Man Gu had plucked off the hair of the tiger and removed its innards, after which he brushed the meat with the Barbarian Tribe’s secret sauce. Lu Yang skewered the lion and placed it on the grill, igniting it with the Three Flavor True Fire.

In the large-scale Automatic Barbecue Array, the skewered lion slowly rotated, sizzling and oozing oil as its tantalizing aroma suffused the air.

Man Gu stared at the lion in a daze, as though he had thought of something.

“Man Gu, what’s the matter?” Lu Yang thought Man Gu was homesick.

“I was thinking, the main target of the Automatic Barbeque Array is small barbeque skewers. But it struggles a bit when it comes to roasting whole lambs, lions, or other huge animals, and the heat is also not distributed evenly. It really tests the skill of the barbeque chef,” Man Gu replied.

“So you are thinking...” Lu Yang couldn’t figure out what Man Gu was thinking.

“I heard that some sects at the southern border are skilled in controlling corpses. Do you think we could learn such spells and techniques and apply them to barbecuing? Like controlling a lamb’s corpse to make it roast itself?”

Lu Yang, “...”

Am I the only normal person in the Dao-Seeking Sect?

1. I added “stewed meatballs” in the text to clarify. In any case, Lion’s Head is a Huaiyang dish from China where large pork meatballs are stewed with vegetables. The reason for its name is its resemblance to the lion guardian deity in China. ☜
