Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 155: Isn’t This The Perfect Time?
Chapter 155: Isn’t This The Perfect Time?
The “Dao-Seeking Sect Leader One-Day Experience” voucher was the most expensive prize on the rewards board. To date, not a single disciple had accumulated enough contribution points to redeem it.
There were once five male disciples who pooled their contribution points to redeem the prize, but they ended up fighting among themselves over who should become the sect leader and became injured. After recuperating at the Pill Cauldron Peak, they found the whole incident overly embarrassing and set off to the outside world for long-term missions. Up until now, none of them had returned.
Naturally, disciples like Dai Bufan could afford it. However, due to his special status as the one overseeing the Great Mission Hall in First Elder’s stead, he wasn’t eligible.
Lu Yang tried to dissuade her with kind intentions, “Immortal Fairy, what about considering another prize?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy raised her delicate brows. “What, the Taciturn Daoist Priest can be the sect leader but I can’t?
“Let me tell you, I wielded tremendous power back in the ancient era, and countless tribes worshiped me. How difficult could managing a mere Dao-Seeking Sect be?”
“No, that’s not it. What I meant was that Big Senior Sister is currently in charge of the Dao-Seeking Sect. If you want to be the sect leader for three days, you will need her approval.”
“Can I ask for a refund now? Wait a minute, I mean, so what? As if I’d be scared of a little lass!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy flinched a bit, but her pride as an immortal quickly got the better of her fear and imbued her with confidence.
Controlling Lu Yang’s body, she turned to head back to Heaven’s Gate Peak.
~~~
After arriving at Heaven’s Gate Peak, Lu Yang kindly reminded her, “Big Senior Sister is in the other direction. This is the direction back to my cave abode.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy frowned. “And you still call yourself her junior brother? You’re not the least bit considerate of her at all! That poor lass works so hard every day, and it’s already so late. How could we disturb her? We’ll talk about it tomorrow!”
Lu Yang thought to himself, Big Senior Sister has long transcended the three realms and five elements. What concept of day and night could she possibly have?
~~~
“Little la...Bi-Big Senior Sister, I would like to become the sect leader for three days. Please approve my request.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy submitted the application letter she had spent all night writing.
Yun Zhi was in the middle of handling the affairs of the sect, exuding an aloof aura that warned others from approaching. She glanced at Lu Yang and immediately recognized that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was borrowing Lu Yang’s body.
She said flatly, “Senior, as one of the ancient five immortals, you are the most senior in the cultivation world. How can you address me as Big Senior Sister? You can just call me Yun Zhi.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy sized her up cautiously and confirmed that Yun Zhi’s words were not out of sarcasm or anger before saying, “Yun Zhi, I want to be the sect leader for three days. I spent all my contribution points to redeem these vouchers. The Dao-Seeking Sect is built on integrity. You cannot just go back on—”
“Sure,” Yun Zhi interrupted the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.
“Really?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was prepared to coerce Yun Zhi with the rules and was surprised that it was completely unnecessary.
“Really, you can. Rules are rules. I naturally have to abide by them. Otherwise, how can I command respect? Which days would you like to be the sect leader?”
“Let’s start from tomorrow then.”
“Alright.” Yun Zhi’s tone was still as calm as ever, but Lu Yang noticed a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Something is up!
Yun Zhi handed the matter she was dealing with to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. “In that case, I’ll have to trouble you with the task of hosting the Five-Elements Sect, Senior.”
The Five-Elements Sect was one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.
“Fi-Five-Elements Sect?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked down at the paper Yun Zhi had passed to her. It was a greeting card from the Five-Elements Sect, stating they would visit the Dao-Seeking Sect three days later to facilitate exchanges between their members. A list of attendees was also appended. The paper underneath the greeting card was the hosting plan Yun Zhi had drafted—Yun Zhi had just written the title.
Lu Yang had long heard that it was a tradition of the Five Great Immortal Sects to pay visits to one another. Although it was called a “visit,” it was essentially a contest among the disciples. Rewards were secondary; the main point was to not be defeated and lose face.
This was one of the reasons for Yun Zhi rescuing Lu Yang from the clutches of the Taciturn Daoist Priest. She was hoping to let the new promising talent, Lu Yang, compete against the outstanding disciples of the Five-Elements Sect to gain experience.
Huang Doudou was dumbstruck. She thought she had it all planned out nicely. There isn’t much going on at the Dao-Seeking Sect, so I assumed I could just have fun and get a taste of authority for three days. I wasn’t expecting a brother sect to be visiting.
She wanted to back out. I’ve never organized something on such a big scale. The most I did in ancient times was to gather with the four other immortals and make merry together.
But immortals have an immortal’s pride to uphold! I must stand by my word!
Isn’t it just being the sect leader? How hard can it be?
“Even if anything goes wrong, Lu Yang will be the one embarrassed!”

“Hey, hey! Immortal Fairy, you just said your inner thoughts out loud!” Lu Yang protested angrily.
Lu Yang suddenly thought of another issue. “Big Senior Sister, the Immortal Fairy’s existence must be kept a secret, so how are we going to explain it to the outside world? How did I get so many contribution points to become the sect leader?”
“What's the problem? You found your shifu who has been missing for ten years. That’s a major meritorious achievement.” Yun Zhi’s tone was as dull as always, making Lu Yang unsure if she was being serious or sarcastic.
In any case, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy would be the acting sect leader from tomorrow onward for three days. Coincidentally, her last day in office would be the day the Five-Elements Sect visited.
After the Everlasting Immortal Fairy returned Lu Yang’s body, he felt a warmth at his waist. What’s going on?
It’s the branch leader’s bone tablet! When it flashes three times, it means that my handler, Tang Yunsheng, is looking for me.
The meeting place had been determined before “infiltrating” the Dao-Seeking Sect.
“Oh? Will I finally get to meet one of my devotees?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was gleeful.
Lu Yang informed Yun Zhi, and her response was straightforward. “Go meet him then. I’ll be watching from the shadows.”
That reassured Lu Yang.
~~~
At the entrance of the Dao-Seeking Sect, he met Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, indicating that Tang Yunsheng had summoned all three of them.
Meng Jingzhou asked, “Do we go over directly?” He wanted to know Lu Yang’s opinion.
Lu Yang clasped his fists and raised them above his head. “Big Senior Sister is nearby.”
“Then that’s no problem.”
~~~
There were many towns in the vicinity of the Dao-Seeking Sect, and one of them was the meeting point Tang Yunsheng had chosen.
Tang Yunsheng was dressed in black robes and appeared mysterious, but in reality, he was extremely conspicuous in the town, as if he was afraid that others wouldn’t know he was trying to conceal his identity. A few passers-by even considered reporting him to the Dao-Seeking Sect—he looked too suspicious.
Tang Yunsheng gazed at the three of them with satisfaction. “The Dao-Seeking Sect’s merchant recruiting list has your names on it, stating that you have opened a barbeque shop in the sect. Good job! You have finally infiltrated the Dao-Seeking Sect!”
No doubt this was the fake name list Dai Bufan had arranged.
“There are finally spies from the Everlasting Creed in the Dao-Seeking Sect!” Tang Yunsheng exclaimed with overwhelming emotions, as if he had fulfilled a lifelong dream. “Even the creed leader didn’t expect things to go so smoothly!”
He then shifted his tone and sighed. “It’s a pity things haven’t been going well in the other three immortal sects.”
“What happened with the three other immortal sects?” Lu Yang asked.
“I also have no idea, but those three immortal sects suddenly became perceptive, even ferreting out every last one of our spies by borrowing the Everlasting Immortal’s name. They are so vicious that it caught us completely off guard! The three other diabolic creeds are not faring much better either. They also lost quite a few spies.”
“What should we do now?” Lu Yang was slightly anxious. As a branch leader, I am partly responsible for the capture of so many people from the Everlasting Creed.
“No worries, we have to look ahead. A temporary setback is nothing.” He tried to spur them on. “The last message from a spy in the Five-Elements Sect mentioned that they’d visit the Dao-Seeking Sect in three days. This is our opportunity!
“The creed leader said that he senses the Everlasting Immortal reviving. The rise of the Everlasting Creed is imminent. We can leverage this opportunity to stir up trouble during the exchange contest and let the Five Great Immortal Sects know that the Everlasting Creed is not a pushover!
“With the three of you as our mole, this plan is sure to succeed!”
Lu Yang and the other two nodded.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy in his mental space nodded.
Yun Zhi in the shadows also nodded.
