Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 480: Where am I now?

"Many unfamiliar Body Fusion stage cultivators?"

Lu Yang was full of questions. He didn't know many Body Fusion stage cultivators, mainly those from his own sect. The only outsider he had invited to the celebration was Su Yi, and he only knew the names of the others.

For example, he didn't recognize the Sect Master of the Qi Control Sect who had just passed by.

The newly acquired "List of Body Fusion Stage Cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty" did include introductions and portraits of various Body Fusion stage cultivators, but Lu Yang had been too busy wandering around to look at it.

Unlike the unreliable Immortal Fairy, the eldest senior sister's words were highly credible, and Lu Yang had to take them seriously.

"Could they be reclusive Body Fusion stage cultivators?"

Like Su Yi, who had a very low presence and was known by few.

The eldest senior sister shook her head, dismissing this possibility: "I know most of the reclusive Body Fusion stage cultivators. It's unlikely that all the ones I haven't met just happen to be here."

Lu Yang frowned in thought. This was indeed strange. So many Body Fusion stage cultivators appearing out of nowhere—were they friends or foes?

Attacking the Seek Tao Sect? Even a fool wouldn't think of that.

Friends?

Then why come uninvited?

Lu Yang couldn't quite understand the mindset of these Body Fusion stage cultivators.

"It's not just Body Fusion stage cultivators; there are also three or four Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators, and they're strangers too," Yun Zhi suddenly said.

Lu Yang was startled. This was no small matter.

"Should we capture them and ask?" Lu Yang suggested. If they caught the wrong people, he could always apologize as the acting sect master.

"Alright." Yun Zhi nodded, agreeing with Lu Yang's idea.

A wooden sign blocked their path.

The sign read: "Hold your breath before entering."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"This sign wasn't here earlier, was it?" Lu Yang was puzzled. They had almost walked a full circle.

"It's the Sixth Elder's sign." Yun Zhi, having seen this sign before, recognized it at a glance as the work of the Sixth Elder.

Lu Yang understood, and it made sense.

Those attending the celebration were all prodigies and powerful cultivators. Holding their breath was a trivial matter.

The arrival of the Sixth Elder hadn't caused much of a stir.

Soon, the two of them saw the Sixth Elder, in a familiar spot where Luo Hongxia was fishing.

Luo Hongxia and the Sixth Elder were close friends, taking the opportunity of the celebration to chat.

Though they couldn't speak, their relaxed expressions showed they were enjoying their conversation.

Lan Ting and Tao Yaoye, following their respective masters, were also chatting via divine sense.

"Palace Master Luo."

"Daoist Yun."

They greeted each other with cupped hands.

"Lu Yang, it's been a long time since we parted in Qingzhou." Lan Ting greeted warmly.

"Sister Lan Ting, do you know Sister Tao?" Lu Yang noticed the two smiling brightly, looking very close.

Both were celestial beings, perhaps having much in common.

"I've long heard from my master that Palace Master Luo has taken a highly talented disciple, no less than me. Today, I finally meet her." Tao Yaoye took Lan Ting's hand, stepping aside to keep some distance from Lu Yang and Lan Ting.

Lan Ting echoed, her voice sweet: "I felt an instant connection with Sister Tao. She even wants to use my image in her Dreamlike Mirage."

Tao Yaoye chuckled, gently shaking Lan Ting's arm: "I've always wanted to use the image of a beautiful cultivator in Dreamlike Mirage. Meeting Sister Lan Ting today, I'm amazed by her beauty. She's perfect for the role."

"You're too kind, Sister Tao. You're much prettier than me. All I have to show is my cultivation."

Lu Yang sensed a subtle tension but couldn't pinpoint it, so he remained silent.

Yun Zhi noticed the Light Confining Box at Luo Hongxia's feet and asked, "Palace Master Luo, what are you using the box for? Is your task completed?"

Luo Hongxia thought for a moment. Most of the known elders of the cultivation world were already in the box, so she should be done.

"It's done."

"May I borrow it?"

With the Light Confining Box, it would be perfect to capture those unfamiliar Body Fusion and Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators.

"This..."

Luo Hongxia looked troubled. Although the Light Confining Box was a treasure of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, it was common for the five major immortal sects to lend treasures to each other, making it hard to refuse.

Luo Hongxia felt guilty. They had imprisoned the powerful attendees on the Seek Tao Sect's territory, which would look bad if word got out.

Moreover, Yun Zhi was right there, making it too late to release them now.

Unable to think of a reason to refuse, she reluctantly lent the box.

"Thank you, Palace Master Luo." Yun Zhi bowed, and with a flick of her finger, the box floated up.

"Little junior brother, let's go."

Hearing the eldest senior sister's call, Lu Yang sighed in relief, quickly bidding farewell to the two women and hurrying after her.

...

True Lord Wangyue was crouching by a stall, thoughtfully examining the goods.

He was on a mission from the national teacher to investigate the celebration and had stumbled upon an unexpected find.

"Interested in this?" The stall owner, an old man who looked like a simple farmer, picked up a book from the stall with a humble smile.

"This old book was found in a secret realm. It records the existence of a Heavenly Court Sect figure called the King of Hundred Medicines. If you're interested, I'll sell it for eight hundred thousand spirit stones!"

True Lord Wangyue was tempted. The national teacher was troubled by the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Court Sect, and this could be a significant clue.

For a Body Fusion stage cultivator, eight hundred thousand spirit stones wasn't much.

He wasn't worried about it being fake. After all, this was the Seek Tao Sect's territory. Selling fake goods here would be an affront to the sect.

"I'll buy it!"

Without hesitation, True Lord Wangyue used his storage ring to transfer eight hundred thousand spirit stones to the old man's ring.

Just as he was about to take the book, a beam of light enveloped him, pulling him into the box.

Thud.

The book fell to the ground.

"Junior Niece Yun, what are you doing..." Grandpa Ba looked at Yun Zhi in surprise.

"The eldest senior sister wants to ask him some questions." Lu Yang answered obsequiously for Yun Zhi.

True Lord Wangyue looked around in confusion, unable to understand what had happened.

He had been buying a book, and now he was here?

And why were there so many people?

He saw two powerful cultivators grinning at him, cracking their knuckles and approaching slowly, while a kind-looking old monk exuded a murderous aura.

Further away, a group of bruised and battered cultivators lay on the ground, groaning, making him shiver.

Where was he?

"Do you know him?" Qiu Jin'an hesitated, not recognizing True Lord Wangyue.

"Who cares? Since Daoist Luo put him in here, he must be here to mock us. Beating him up can't be wrong!" Yang Ding analyzed simply and concluded.

"Sounds reasonable."
