Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 349: Star-Type Cultivation Techniques

Although Lu Yang didn’t consider himself a debonair playboy, he never imagined someone could mistake his gender.

When Lu Yang wanted to say that he was male, the thought of the other party’s infatuation with his senior brother made him hesitate.

When he wanted to say he was female, the thought of paying such a hefty price for buying a star atlas didn’t seem worth it.

After all, I wanted to buy it just to guess Big Senior Sister’s golden cores for fun.

Fleeing is still the best stratagem.[1]

As soon as the words left the senior brother’s mouth, he wished he could slap himself. What nonsense had I just spouted?!

The two other people with him felt even more embarrassed. This is Senior Brother’s chronic shortcoming. He is always prone to mispeaking when he’s nervous.

What’s worse is that Senior Brother is often nervous.

Rumor has it that the Palace Leader suggested that Senior Brother switch to cultivating the Mouth-Shut Chan Meditation.

“No, I meant... This senior brother here, a senior sister I admire requires this star atlas for cultivation. Would you be willing to part with it?” Collecting himself, the senior brother reckoned that he should reorganize his thoughts by starting with introductions. “I am Gu Qisheng, a disciple of the Rainbow Palace, and my cultivation is at the Basic Foundation Establishment Stage. I am here to participate in the Grand Ceremony tournament. Brother, we appear to be of similar age, so I believe you are a participant as well?”

Given that Gu Qisheng was not yet eighteen but had already reached the Basic Foundation Establishment Stage, his cultivation speed could be ranked among the top five in the history of Rainbow Palace.

Although high-level cultivators could freely alter their appearances, Gu Qisheng doubted this was the case for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. If they’re old monsters at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages, they wouldn’t be shopping here. With their longer lifespans and vast experience, those old monsters would have their own procurement channels.

Lu Yang had heard of the Rainbow Palace, a first-class sect in Ji Province, but he knew nothing beyond that.

“I’m indeed here to participate in the Grand Ceremony’s tournament. Who knows? Maybe we’ll meet on the arena stage. As for this star atlas, Junior Brother, please help yourself.” Lu Yang took another step back.

Seeing Lu Yang retreat further and further away, Gu Qisheng hastily clarified, “I apologize for the slip of the tongue earlier. My words got mixed up. It’s actually a senior sister of mine who needs the star atlas for her cultivation.”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously. Moments ago, Meng Jingzhou was so startled that he almost unleashed his Single’s Curse Fist.

Lu Yang chuckled. “I was simply intrigued by the star atlas. It’s not as important as your marital fate, Junior Brother Gu.”

Gu Qisheng was over the moon. He fished out one thousand five hundred spirit stones and purchased the star atlas. It was no small sum for him, but if he could make his senior sister happy, it was worth every spirit stone!

Unable to contain his enthusiasm, he unfurled the star atlas, only to find it smeared with bloodstains, rendering most nearly indiscernible.

“What is this?!” Gu Qisheng roared in rage. I went through all that to buy the star atlas just to waste my spirit stones on a piece of blood-wiping tissue?

The vendor explained in an unruffled manner. “Didn’t I mention? I poured blood, sweat, and tears to draw this. Spitting up a few mouthfuls of blood during the process is normal.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Why is this street market riddled with traps and scams?

Meng Jingzhou transmitted an auditory message to Lu Yang. “Most items here are fakes. One of the trials in our Meng Family’s coming-of-age ceremony is to buy something authentic in these street markets.”

“I see. Hold on...don’t you come of age at sixteen? Why haven’t I heard of you returning to the Meng Family for the ceremony?”

The age cut-off for joining the Dao-Seeking Sect was sixteen and below, and Lu Yang had never seen Meng Jingzhou return home.

Meng Jingzhou declared unabashedly, “I ran away from home! Why would I attend that kind of ceremony after that?”

Gu Qisheng was still arguing with the vendor. “If that’s the case, can’t you redraw a clean copy of the star atlas?”

“This is where you wouldn’t understand, guest. The stars contain great secrets. Ask around—has anyone successfully drawn a star atlas in these few centuries? Even if one is completed, it’ll ultimately be destroyed for all sorts of reasons.

“Moreover, the cartographer can never remember the arrangement of the stars. It’s already rare that this copy has a small portion untainted by blood. You got a bargain for one thousand five hundred spirit stones.”

Gu Qisheng naturally didn’t buy the vendor’s nonsense, but he remembered how his true lineage senior sister lacked a star atlas all this time. For someone of her status, this shouldn’t be the case.

Neither Lu Yang nor Meng Jingzhou had heard of such a thing. Who had nothing better to do than to observe the stars and memorize their positions? Then, Lu Yang recalled Yun Zhi’s golden cores and wondered if the vendor had a certain credibility, so he entered his mental space to wake the Everlasting Immortal Fairy up.

“Ah? You called me?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy yawned, her eyes still bleary.

Lu Yang repeated the vendor’s words verbatim, drawing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s attention.

Borrowing Lu Yang’s body, she gazed up at the sky. Although it was day, she could still make out the stars obscured by the sunlight.

Then, she returned control of Lu Yang’s body.

“Well? Did Big Senior Sister’s golden cores set up a barrier to prevent people from detecting which stars are her golden cores?”

“Whether it was Lass Yun who set up the barrier, I’m not sure. But there is indeed a barrier blocking one’s recognition, preventing people from remembering the stars’ positions unless they ascend to the sky to check for themselves.”

Lu Yang brooded over her words. Then there’s an eighty or ninety percent chance that it’s Big Senior Sister’s doing. But what is her motive?

Is she worried about enemies ascertaining the positions of her golden cores?

Or is she preventing people from practicing cultivation techniques related to stars?

After the stars were refined into the continent beneath our feet, the power of star-type cultivation techniques has long waned compared to the ancient era. After all, its strength stemmed from the stars in the skies. However, there are still people who stubbornly believe that ancient things are the best and insist on cultivating star-type cultivation techniques.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy exclaimed, “You’re in Qing Province for the Grand Ceremony? Come come come, let me show you the discerning judgement of an immortal!”

Lu Yang regretted waking her up. Now that she was awake, she was buzzing with vitality and hopping around restlessly.

Passing by a stall, he saw historical books chronicling all kinds of ancient secrets.

“Lu Yang, look at that book! It’s called Antiquity Secrets. Buy it! I want to see what it says!” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy urged excitedly. freewёbnoνel.com

“Boss, how much does this book cost?”

“Three thousand spirit stones.”

Lu Yang frowned, finding it too expensive.

The vendor pressed, “Customer, don’t find it too expensive. You should know that ancient secrets hide countless unknown fortuitous opportunities. If you’re lucky and unearth a fortuitous opportunity no one else has discovered, you’ll be able to directly soar to the heavens and lead a carefree life roaming the world!

“This copy of mine is the newest edition and records the latest scholarly breakthroughs regarding the ancient era!”

“Here’s three thousand spirit stones.” He handed over the payment and received the book.

It was not considered a significant sum for him. Putting aside the mysterious disappearance of his royalty fees, the future dividends from the Nine-Netherworlds Creed were enough to make three thousand spirit stones seem as trivial as a fine hair on a bull.

Meng Jingzhou was also curious about ancient secrets and peered over.

The first chapter wrote: The ancient immortal, Heaven Mandate Immortal, loved beautiful women, especially married women, and impregnated countless women.

Lu Yang was flummoxed and entered his mental space to ask, “Was the Heaven Mandate Immortal really like that?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy blinked innocently. “Who’s spreading such lies? The Heaven Mandate Immortal wasn’t someone like that.”
