Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 456: Chapter 455: The Fourth Master of the Immortal Lineage_1

Seek Dao Sect, Hundred Refinement Peak.

Li Haoran was still reminiscing about his past life with Mu Baiyi.

As the new generation’s deputy sect leader, Mu Baiyi was young and vigorous, and Qin Haoran greatly valued him.

“Mu Baiyi is a poor child. He came from a poor family, and after he became a cultivator and joined a sect, he initially wanted to earn money. However, he didn’t earn much, and his sect closed down first.”

“Later, he saw that the Nine Nether Sect provided good monthly supplies, so he joined it.”

“According to him, he originally wanted to join the Eternity Sect, given that the benefits for Eternity Sect followers were triple that of local officials.”

“Then why didn’t he join?” Qin Yanyan interjected.

“He couldn’t find the entrance to the Eternity Sect because it’s too concealed. The Nine Nether Sect was much easier to find; if you find an ordinary ghost, there’s a one-in-ten chance it belongs to the Nine Nether Sect, and through them, you can find the Nine Nether Sect.”

“Of course, that was a while ago. Later, Qin Haoran realized that this method was too risky and it was easy to get caught by the Righteous Path, so he imitated the Eternity Sect style, making the Nine Nether Sect also somewhat difficult to find.”

“Qin Haoran and Mu Baiyi had a fairly good relationship, he helped Qin Haoran a lot during the time at Nine Nether Sect.”

“Once, Qin Haoran heard that running a bank could make a lot of money, so he wanted to establish one. But he was afraid that no one would deposit money and he’d be laughed at, so he had Mu Baiyi disguise himself and deposit money on the opening day.”

“It’s just running a ploy, a common business strategy.” Thanks to Qin Haoran’s memories, Li Haoran now had an extensive understanding of underhanded business strategies.

“So, did the bank become established?”

“No, Qin Haoran forgot to apply for government approval before opening the bank, so both he and Mu Baiyi were arrested for illegally raising funds from the public.”

“We explained that no one deposited money, and that it was all a hoax staged by us.”

“Did the government let you go?”

“No, the government officials said this constituted both illegal fund-raising and fraud, and intended to add both charges together.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Qin Yanyan: “…”

“During the time they were in the large prison, they both made headway simultaneously, deeply studying all kinds of law. Finally, when their sentences were fully served, they returned home having become scholars.” According to Li Haoran, he has not fully gotten Qin Haoran’s memory, or else he would currently be a great scholar of the law.

“Fortunately, Qin Haoran was proactive and foresaw such a disaster. He arranged everything before going to prison and did not expose the church’s deficit.”

This shows that Qin Haoran is a man of outstanding foresight.

Li Haoran still wanted to continue talking about the glorious history of the Nine Nether Sect, when a cold figure appeared behind him.

“Eldest Senior Sister.”

“Hello, Eldest Senior Sister.” Qin Yanyan, as a member of Heaven’s Court, was torn between calling Yun Zhi ‘Sect Master’ or ‘Eldest Senior Sister’. After some mental struggle, she decided to follow the herd.

“Eldest Senior Sister, I was just confirming with Junior Brother Li. The person wearing the white hat in Hanshui City is the Sect Master of the Nine Nether Sect, called Mu Baiyi.”

“Mu Baiyi, the Sect Master of Nine Nether Sect? Understood. You guys did well. Junior Brother, come with me and let’s return.”

Lu Yang obediently stood by his Eldest Senior Sister’s side and followed her back to Sky Gate Mountain.

“Eldest Senior Sister, is there something you wish to discuss with me?”

“Not with you, but with Fairy senior.”

“With me?” Upon hearing this, Fairy Eternity bounced up from the bed and cheerfully emerged from the Spiritual Space.

“Tell me, what do you need from me?” Fairy Eternity rarely had Yun Zhi seek her help. Feeling rejuvenated and lively, she appeared to be ten years younger.

She was now only six years old.

“Emperor Xia’s lifespan has issues. He only has about ten years left. The Little Medicinal Kings have no solution for him, do you have any idea, Fairy senior?”

Lu Yang was startled by this news. Everyone in the outside world said that Emperor Xia was in the prime of his life, carrying out great plans, and Great Xia has a promising future. How could he suddenly be on the brink of death?

Fairy Eternity, full of excitement and readiness, blurt out: “When are we staging the revolt?”

She believed that the Seek Dao Sect was set to reach great heights and had the potential to compete for the world’s throne. When the time was ripe, they would gather support from all over the world and they were bound to succeed!

Didn’t Lu Yang tell the Nine Nether Sect to follow this strategy?!

With her and Yun Zhi, two absolute powerhouses, wouldn’t they conquer the throne if they wanted to?

“…not a revolt, Fairy senior. Do you have a way to prolong the lifespan?”

Fairy Eternity’s Dao Fruit feature was immortality; even if she died, chanting her title and name would bring her back to life. Even the Little Medicinal Kings envied this ability, let alone other cultivators.

In Yun Zhi’s impression, Fairy Eternity was the most likely to solve Emperor Xia’s problem.

“Give him the immature Eternity Dao Fruit, and let him become the fourth-in-command of the immortal line?”

Everything had an order, and the last to arrive naturally would be at the end.

The Immortal Line was strong and powerful. The first elder was the head of the Five Immortals of the Ancients, the second elder was the Jindan Ancestor, the third was the Semi-Immortal, and the fourth was the reigning emperor.”

Lu Yang suddenly felt that his position as the second-in-command of the Immortal Line was of great importance.

“The imperial ancestral land would definitely not agree.” Yun Zhi shook her head.

A seemingly well and good Emperor Xia turning into the fourth elder of the Immortal Line, Yun Zhi could imagine that after this matter became reality, the person at the imperial ancestral land might be so infuriated that they would want to compete against Fairy Eternity one-on-one.”

Moreover, this would expose the existence of Fairy Eternity.

Yun Zhi wanted a method that everyone could see.

“If the Little Medicinal Kings are useless, then it’s the Immortal Fruit… My Immortal Fruit can only maintain the preservation of the body. It’s only useful after someone’s death.”

“Neither Qilin Immortal’s nor Yingtian Immortal’s Immortal Fruits have the ability to prolong life or increase lifespan.”

“Right, does he have any children? Find water from the Mother-child River, it could leave him a descendant.”

“He has nine sons and seven daughters.”

“He’s so fertile, is he breeding piglets?” muttered Fairy Eternity. Even after drinking the water of the Mother-child River and the Twin River, Emperor Xia was more fertile than she.

The Immortal Qilin and the Dragon and Phoenix species’ geniuses had tried for many years, but had not given birth to a single Qilin yet.

The higher one’s cultivation level, the harder it is to leave offspring.”

“Right.” Fairy Eternity suddenly shouted, remembering a clue, “There’s a Spirit Root in the world, it’s a peach tree, naturally nurtured by heaven and earth, and not a part of the natural treasures. The peaches it bears have the effect of prolonging life!”

“The five of us have eaten peaches from that tree. They were very tasty and juicy.”

“Where is this Spirit Root?” This was the first time the Eldest Senior Sister had heard of such a Spirit Root, and there was no record of it in the ancient books either.

“I don’t know, the peach tree grew legs, and after we picked its peaches, it ran away.”

Eldest Senior Sister nodded. This was a clue, albeit a difficult one to follow. She instructed Lu Yang to continue his cultivation while she sought advice from other Elders.”

After Eldest Senior Sister left, Lu Yang thought for a while, then turned towards the Scripture Pavilion.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I vaguely remember seeing a magic skill related to longevity in the Scripture Pavilion. It was buried at the very bottom, so very few people should have learned it. Maybe it could be useful.”
