Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 322: The Origin of the Qilin Immortality Herb

“Since when do humans need precious soil for cultivation? The Ginseng Doll was taken aback. In its memory, even cultivators specializing in earth-type spells had never come asking for soil.

The herb garden lacked many things, but the one thing it didn’t lack was soil. Especially for the Little Herb Kings, they used rare and precious soil, which couldn’t be bought with gold or spirit stones.

“Hold on a bit.” The Ginseng Doll scurried into the wooden hut. After a series of clattering sounds from rummaging around the place, it came out holding four shovels.

“The four of us will dig up some rare soil and see which Lu Yang needs.” It kept a shovel for itself and handed the remaining three to the other Little Herb Kings.

The four Little Herb Kings split up, and in the blink of an eye, they had already run off, leaving only the Dao Enlightenment Tree, Lu Yang, and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy behind.

The Ginseng Doll was the first to return, its root hairs holding a pile of Black Soil. “Here, this is Black Soil. Do you want it?”

Lu Yang often heard about this type of soil, which could make any spirit plant grow robustly. The land tilled by the Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo Tribe was this very Black Soil.

“This isn’t the Black Soil you see outside. This is the Source of Black Soil. It can be used to till the fields and improve the quality of the surrounding soil, transforming it into Black Soil.

“The Black Soil you see outside is soil converted by the Source of Black Soil. In other words, what you see are derivatives of Black Soil. These derivatives have usage and time limits. After being used a few times, they degrade back into regular soil. What I have here in my hands is the real Black Soil, which will never ever change.” The Ginseng Doll was quite pleased with himself. This was one of the Little Herb Kings’ favorite types of soil.

“So mystical?” Lu Yang grabbed a handful, closed his eyes, shoved it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

The Ginseng Doll and the Dao Enlightenment Tree stared with their mouths agape and eyes wide. They had been wondering how Lu Yang would use the soil for cultivation. But he simply ate it?

“How is it? How does it feel?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy asked eagerly.

Lu Yang smacked his lips, savoring the sensation. “No changes. My cultivation realm didn’t increase, the speed of my internal spirit energy circulation remains the same, my strength isn’t boosted, my agility isn’t enhanced, and my spirit consciousness didn’t get stronger.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy suggested, “Maybe the amount wasn’t enough? Why don’t you eat some more?

Lu Yang thought it made sense and ate all the Black Soil the Ginseng Doll had brought in one go. He even circulated his cultivation technique through the Macrocosmic Loop. “Still no changes.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy pondered deeply and analyzed, “It’s possible that the effect of the Black Soil is to improve your talent. For example, a Triple Spirit Root could become a Dual Spirit Root, and a Dual Spirit Root could become a Single Spirit Root. Since you already have a Single Spirit Root, the best talent possible, there’s no room for improvement.”

Lu Yang looked at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy suspiciously. “Immortal Fairy, have you not eaten it before?”

“Do you hear what you’re saying? As the top of the Ten Great Ancient Beauties, how is it appropriate for me to eat dirt?

“Besides, when I learned this mighty ability, I was already an immortal, at the peak of my cultivation. What would I need to eat dirt for?”

Lu Yang cut off the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s boasting. “Wait, where did the Ten Great Ancient Beauties come from? I’ve never heard of such a ranking.”

“I am the number one beauty in the ancient era, right?”

Lu Yang stared at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s exquisite and flawless face and nodded.

“If there’s a number one, there must be a number ten, right?”

Lu Yang nodded again.

“Although I don’t know who the Ten Great Ancient Beauties are, since there’s a tenth place, it’s only natural for the Ten Great Ancient Beauties to exist.”

“So you made it up?”

“How could you say it’s made up? I’m just stating something that definitely existed! Besides, I can be certain of three individuals among the Ten Great Ancient Beauties: the Qilin Immortal’s two wives and my most devout follower, Qing He.”

“Qilin Immortal?” The Qilin Immortality Herb arrived, carrying another type of soil, and happened to overhear the Everlasting Immortal Fairy mention the Qilin Immortal.

“Your Excellency Immortal Fairy, the Qilin Immortal you mentioned...does He have anything to do with me?” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Seeing how nervous the Qilin Immortality Herb was, Lu Yang remembered a rumor the Ginseng Doll had once told him. There are no qilins in this world. The qilins people saw were actually the Qilin Immortality Herbs. The Little Herb Kings also don’t know whether a real qilin existed in the world.

Lu Yang had once believed the same, but after learning about the Qilin Immortal’s existence from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, he saw through the lie. Only then did he realize that what seemed like ordinary knowledge to him, such as the titles of the Four Ancient Immortals, was something even Fusion cultivators rarely knew. Even the long-lived Little Herb Kings were unaware.

Could the Everlasting Immortal Fairy really be my golden finger cheat?

“The Qilin Immortal is the sole true qilin in the world and the only immortal among the demons. As for you, the Qilin Immortality Herbs...”

The Qilin Immortality Herb asked eagerly, “How did we come to be?”

“The blood of the Qilin Immortal dripped onto a spirit plant. Influenced by the immortal blood, it took on the form of a qilin.”

The Qilin Immortality Herb immediately felt its status elevate and straightened its stem proudly.

Lu Yang was floored. “The Qilin Immortal could still get injured after becoming an immortal? Who was the enemy?”

Could it be that there were terrifying beings in the ancient era that threatened even the ancient immortals? Is the Everlasting Immortal Fairy worried about my low cultivation and keeping it from me, waiting until I grow stronger to reveal the truth?

The Immortal Fairy had the best of intentions and put in much effort, but unfortunately, I still detected subtle clues! Should I pretend not to know, or should I keep pressing for answers?

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was also baffled. “I wasn’t there at the time, so I don’t know the details. It happened during the Qilin Immortal’s wedding. Heaven Mandate Immortal and the other two immortals beat up the Qilin Immortal, causing him to bleed profusely.

“Why would they fight on such a joyous day? I don’t understand them. Is this what they call ‘bridal chamber hijinks?’”[1]

Lu Yang, “...”

Immortal Fairy, weren’t you the one who sparked trouble at the wedding with an immortal fruit? That led to a cooking competition between the Dragon and Phoenix prodigies, who were culinary masters under your tutelage. The Heaven Mandate Immortal and the other two immortals served as judges to appraise the dishes. Afterward, they thought the Qilin Immortal was the source of the trouble and gave him a beating.

So that’s when the Qilin Immortality Herb came into existence. This Qilin Immortality Herb in the herb garden is probably a descendant of that original one.

“A battle between immortals?” The Dao Enlightenment Tree and the Ginseng Doll gasped, surprised that one could still meet with mishaps even after becoming an immortal in the ancient era.

Based on the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s words, they automatically conjured up a scene in their minds.

In the ancient era, during the Qilin Immortal’s wedding, countless demons gathered to pay their respects. The three immortals who were enemies of the Qilin Immortal deliberately chose this joyous occasion to provoke him. For the sake of his beautiful wives and dignity, he unleashed his wrath and faced the three immortals without fear. He valiantly took action and stirred up monstrous waves with his supreme immortal power, shocking all the ages!

This battle defended his unparalleled status as the only immortal among the demons!

The fact that an immortal bled was a testament to how brutal that battle was!

A bona fide immortal battle!

This Everlasting Immortal Fairy truly doesn’t treat us as outsiders. With just a casual remark, she revealed a glimpse into the ancient secrets.

They turned their gazes to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang has followed the Immortal Fairy all this while. How many ancient secrets must he have learned? And how many cruel ancient battles has he heard about?

1. This is a traditional Chinese wedding custom where friends and family make fun and banter with the newlyweds in the bridal chamber. A literal translation would be “disturb the bridal chamber.” ☜
