Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 992 - 911: Meng Jingzhou Becoming Increasingly Destined with Buddha Country

```

Lu Yang thought more and more that the value of the Oblivion Pill was immeasurable. It was an excellent elixir that could concentrate attention, improve efficiency in handling affairs, and even treat spiritual illnesses; moreover, if a cultivator took it, it could help them enter a meditative trance quickly.

"By the way, Master, do you know why the Ruthless Sect wanted to develop the Oblivion Pill?"

"It seems to be because the higher-ups of the Ruthless Sect in our Buddha Country accidentally came into contact with Benefactor Lu’s Second Senior Brother. They were so infuriated by Benefactor Lu’s Second Senior Brother that their cultivation was disrupted and they needed the Oblivion Pill to calm their mind state."

"What a waste of heavenly materials, just for that?"

Lu Yang shook his head. The higher-ups of the Ruthless Sect were not maintaining their mind state properly. First his master, and now his Second Senior Brother, how could just about anyone disrupt their mind state?

"Does the Three-eyed Ghost Monk have the formula for the Oblivion Pill?"

Master Duanchen shook his head, "I don’t know. From their memories, it seems that the formula of the Oblivion Pill is a secret of the Ruthless Sect. I’m afraid even the elders of the Ruthless Sect who assigned them their tasks do not know the formula."

Lu Yang sighed. It was a pity. He had intended to grab the formula for the Oblivion Pill, tap into its potential, and make money for the Ruthless Sect, but they didn’t give him the opportunity. They truly did not show face to this Young Sect Master.

"Although I do not know the formula, I know what herbs are needed to refine the Oblivion Pill."

Lu Yang was quite surprised, "Fairy, you have this skill too?"

Immortal Fairy crossed her arms, reveling in Lu Yang’s surprised expression, her head tilting proudly toward the sky: "Of course. To create an unparalleled fist technique, I have done extensive research on the properties of herbs."

Lu Yang remembered, the Immortal Fist Technique is derived from Health Preservation Boxing, which includes techniques like Arhat Fruit Fist, Croton Fist, Hundred Grass Withering Fist, etc. If one did not study the properties of herbs, one could indeed not invent it.

"Let me see, this Oblivion Pill contains licorice, Three Spirit Flower, Bodhi Leaf..."

Immortal Fairy listed over a hundred different herbs in one breath, accurately stating their proportions.

"I can’t discern the pill concoction technique," said Immortal Fairy, who was not skilled in refining pills and had little research in this area.

"But refining pills is like cooking in principle. You throw stones, herbs, and whatnot into a pot and then cook them fiercely. I can research the ingredients of the Oblivion Pill and stir-fry them into a dish; the effects should be the same. Oh no, they will definitely be better."

"Although I don’t know how to make Oblivion Pill, I can make Forgetfulness Meal. After they ate one plate of it, the Yingtian Immortals went to sleep, woke up forgetting whether they had eaten, so I made them another plate. When they had bad memory, they could eat more than a dozen plates."

"Forgetfulness and memory loss are probably interconnected, and with my skills, I should be able to work it out quickly by analogy."

"That’s enough," Lu Yang broke into a cold sweat, quickly stopping Immortal Fairy’s idea. That much help was enough; any more would be dangerous.

When he captures the higher-up of the Ruthless Sect who was infuriated by his Second Senior Brother, he might as well feed him the Forgetfulness Meal. It wouldn’t be a loss to treat him well with an executioner’s last meal.

An Immortal cooking, how many people seek such an incredible opportunity in vain.

Although the elixir formula was still unknown, learning about the herbs used in the Oblivion Pill was indeed a good thing.

To refine elixirs, the Ruthless Sect will undoubtedly purchase or cultivate these herbs on a large scale. Perhaps this information could help Elder Brother Dai follow this clue and find the traces of the Ruthless Sect.

But with over a hundred herbs, how many times would one have to die to pass on the message?

...

Western Paradise Temple.

```

The ruler of Buddha’s Country, Master Mingyu of Western Paradise Temple, held his Buddha beads and regarded the visitor with calm eyes, keeping him at arm’s length.

"Benefactor Jiang Qun, our temple is aware of the matters concerning the Ruthless Sect. We will dispatch monks to every city and temple to search and when we find those from the Ruthless Sect, we will restore peace to Buddha’s Country."

"Does Benefactor Jiang Qun doubt that Buddha’s Country can handle the matters of the Ruthless Sect properly?"

Officials who had accompanied Prince Jiang Qun frowned in secret. It seemed that Buddha’s Country considered this an internal affair and was reluctant to involve Great Xia.

If your Buddha’s Country could have managed it well, would our Great Xia Cultivators have discovered any trace of the Ruthless Sect?

Our Great Xia Cultivators arrived a few days ago and uncovered their whereabouts. How is it that Buddha’s Country didn’t notice it for so many years?

Master Mingyu also felt somewhat helpless. The dynasties of the Central Continent had changed three times, yet Buddha’s Country remained unshaken, surely having something to rely on, but this reliance was not to be exposed. Cooperating with Great Xia might risk exposing it.

When negotiating between countries, especially involving deep cooperation, rules must be respected. After learning about the Ruthless Sect, Great Xia sent Prince Jiang Qun as a representative to discuss cooperation.

Regrettably, they encountered obstruction at the very first step.

It was uncertain how the Crown Prince would respond; the officials’ attention was focused on his actions.

The Crown Prince smiled faintly, as if he had anticipated Buddha’s Country’s reaction all along.

It was reasonable to assume that in order to find traces of the Ruthless Sect, Spiritual Sense had to be used for the search. That would mean combing through Buddha’s Country from top to bottom, a prospect nobody would agree to.

"The Ruthless Sect matters, naturally, belong to the internal affairs of Buddha’s Country; it would be overstepping for Great Xia to intervene. Our Great Xia has always been one to follow rules, and we certainly would not do anything to overstep. Therefore, we have come up with a good solution."

He took out a piece of paper from his Storage Ring and had someone deliver it to Master Mingyu.

"This is an application letter written by the Senior Meng Junzi. He has long admired Buddha’s Country and has always wanted to join Buddhism but never found a proper chance. He would like to take this opportunity to join Buddha’s Country, and he hopes Master Mingyu will give him a chance."

"Presumably, with Senior Meng Junzi joining Buddha’s Country to handle the Ruthless Sect affairs, it would no longer be considered an overstepping by Great Xia."

...

"What kind of nonsense is this? Has our entire Meng Family joined Buddha’s Country?" When Meng Jingzhou heard the news, he was dumbfounded, his grip on his spoon faltering, and with a clatter, it fell into his plate, making the vegetarian meal unappetizing.

How could I become a citizen of Buddha’s Country while merely on a trip here?

I’m just here for sightseeing!

"I told you that nickname wasn’t given by mistake; you have a connection with Buddhism, Buddhist Meng." Hearing the news, Lu Yang, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, started laughing so hard he rolled on the bed.

Having laughed for a while and finally tiring, Lu Yang, with good intentions, patted Meng Jingzhou’s shoulder to distract him: "Alright, alright, stop thinking about joining Buddhism. Go out for a walk to change your mindset."

As the Buddha Bathing Festival drew near, Kaihuang City visibly buzzed with excitement. Commoners and Cultivators from other regions were hurrying towards Kaihuang City, and images of Lu Yang and his companion were even posted at the city gate as part of the promotion.

Although, Lu Yang always felt that it seemed less like advertising and more like a wanted poster.

Regardless, Lu Yang and his companion’s appearances were widely known; venturing outside required a disguise.

Light masks adhered to their faces, they adopted different visages and left Kaihuang Temple.
