Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 748 747: Lord Ma Zhen

Seeing Lu Yang, Old Ma sobered up considerably.

Although Lu Yang had disguised himself, Old Ma had known him for a long time and had always been there whenever Lu Yang changed his appearance.

Old Ma's gaze shifted and upon seeing the four people beside Lu Yang, all the effects of the alcohol vanished.

No way, how come you five are here?

Do you know how far this place is from where I left you? With your speed, even flying at full strength, it would take three days to get here!

So you came straight to my home right after I set you down?

Although the Dragon horse clan can't compare to the Kunpeng Clan, the Xuanwu Clan, or other top ten clanta, it still holds a considerable status in the East Sea. According to the hierarchy of the Great Xia sects, it belongs to a First-Class Sect.

And with Old Ma's return, it meant that the status of the Dragon horse clan in the Sea Clan had risen yet another step.

Over the years, as Old Ma continued his training, he indeed became the top expert of the Dragon horse clan, unbeatable even by the Clan Leader or the Supreme Elders.

Returning home with honors, Old Ma naturally wanted to flaunt his achievements.

For this reason, he deliberately left Meng Jingzhou and the others on the fringe of the East Sea, considering with their abilities, asking for directions and finding a map would take at least ten days to reach the depths of the East Sea.

That didn't even include the troubles they might encounter on the way. If something else happened, it could take half a month to get here.

Unexpectedly, instead of meeting two months later as planned, it had only been three days and they already bumped into each other, and in such an awkward situation.

"Fellow daoist, toast to True Gentleman Ma," the three heroes of Fangshan Island prompted Lu Yang via transmission when they noticed him standing there dumbfounded.

Despite the approachable manner of True Gentleman Ma from the Dragon horse clan, he is still at the Body Integration Realm. If he gets displeased, a casual gesture from him would be unbearable for someone at the Nascent Soul Stage.

"True Gentleman Ma, I toast to you," Lu Yang said respectfully. As Yun Zhi's junior brother, the Immortal Lineage's second-in-command, the Young Master of the Heavenly Court Sect, and the Phoenix Ancestor's senior brother, he didn't put on airs and was amiable, especially courteous toward his seniors.

"True Gentleman Ma, we toast to you," Meng Jingzhou and the others joined in on the fun, struggling to suppress their laughter.

"True Gentleman Ma, do you recognize these five?" Old Ma's attendant, who previously played the role of the comic relief, asked with obvious intent. He sensed something odd in the atmosphere between Old Ma and Lu Yang's group.

"Recognize them? Of course, I do. We had the fortune to meet True Gentleman Ma at the Seek Dao Sect," Lu Yang replied with a hearty smile.

"Ah, right, I know them. They are from Great Xia… Which part of Great Xia are you from now?"

"Five Elements Sect."

"Right, they are the geniuses from the Five Elements Sect, truly extraordinary. Indeed the pillars of society, destined for greatness in the future," Old Ma generously praised, assuming Lu Yang and the others wouldn't dare to reveal their true identities.

"The Five Elements Sect, one of the Five Immortal Sects?" someone exclaimed. This was an impressive background indeed, no wonder the ancestor paid so much attention to these five.

Several members of the Sea Clan were even considering marrying off their younger relatives as an investment.

One of the advantages of the Sea Clan is their prolific nature. Even if the investment failed, it wouldn't matter much, but success would bring numerous benefits.

Meng Jingzhou nodded continuously, "True Gentleman Ma has a renowned reputation in our Great Xia. In recent years, there have been several battles between those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and Semi-Immortals, and True Gentleman Ma was present at all of them. He moved freely and emerged unscathed, showing extremely clever tactics.

Even those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage had to address him with the honorific 'Old'."

"The Seek Dao Sect has strict controls on who enters and exits, but True Gentleman Ma is an exception. He can enter and leave as he pleases, with no one to stop him."

...

After the banquet ended, Old Ma secretly sought out Lu Yang and his four companions, and, following a whispered instruction, they arrived at a side hall of the palace.

"Why have you come here?"

Old Ma looked perplexed, a question he had stifled throughout the entire banquet.

With an innocent face, Lu Yang replied, "This is our first time in the East Sea, we're not familiar with the place, so we thought of finding a place with higher-level cultivators to buy a map. It just so happened that we ended up here."

"It really was a coincidence," Lu Yang emphasized that today's meeting was unintentional.

Old Ma: "..."

He knew he should not have left in such a hurry back then; if he had left a map, they would not have had any issues today.

"Wait here, I'll find you a map," Old Ma said with a grimace, having not returned to the East Sea for over a hundred years and without any maps on hand.

Soon after, Old Ma returned with five jade slips in his mouth, which contained the most detailed maps he could find in a short time.

Upon activating the jade slips with their Spiritual Sense, Lu Yang and his companions finally saw the full scope of the East Sea. Indeed, it was much more detailed than the maps sold at Jubao Pavilion for ten Spirit Stones each, including everything from the top ten Sea Clan races to the Human race islands, and even the lesser Sea Clans.

After sending Lu Yang and his group away, Old Ma was in high spirits. With Lu Yang and the others at the banquet, he felt too embarrassed to enjoy himself fully.

"Should I find an excuse to have another banquet? But what reason would be good enough..."

The Sea Clans loved to hold banquets, a tradition left behind by the Dragon Clan since Ancient Times.

...

"Back in Ancient Times, we also used to hold banquets frequently," said Fairy Eternity, inspired by seeing the Dragon horse Clan's banquet, "especially when Zhu Tian would sing and dance, it was very lively."

As they entered the East Sea, Lu Yang's Spiritual Space was once again drastically altered by Fairy Eternity. She filled the Spiritual Space with seawater and transformed herself into a Jiaoren, half fish, half human, swimming leisurely and comfortably.

A sea bed was also placed on the water's surface, where Fairy Eternity could lie down and sleep when tired, which was quite convenient.

Lu Yang felt that if he slightly shook his head, he could hear the sound of the sea.

"Second Boss, you should practice diligently. Your Spiritual Space is still not large enough," Fairy Eternity taught earnestly, warning Lu Yang against becoming negligent or lazy.

"Yes, yes, I will certainly practice diligently to create a larger playful space for you, Fairy," Lu Yang agreed.

"It's a pity that we're too far from the Demon Territory; otherwise, I could invite Zhu Tian over and hold a banquet right here in the East Sea," Fairy Eternity remarked. When she spoke of a banquet, she meant the legendary feasts of the immortals, grand and splendid, on a scale the Dragon horse Clan could not match.

In his heart, Lu Yang taught that Zhu Tian, after all, is the ruler of the Demon Nation; Fairy should at least spare him some dignity.

Lu Yang recalled how Zhu Tian would call him "big brother" and, before leaving, insisted on giving him four imperial chairs, showing utmost sincerity.

"Fellow Daoists, do you have a place to go in the East Sea? If it's not imposing, you might consider visiting Fangshan Island for a chat?" The three heroes of Fangshan Island invited Lu Yang and his companions.

It was rare for them to meet cultivators from Great Xia, especially those from a top power like the Five Elements Sect, so naturally, they wanted to seize this opportunity to connect.

"That would be nice."

Meng Jingzhou agreed readily, since they had no other plans, they might as well visit Fangshan Island.
