Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 158: The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s Golden Finger Cheat
Chapter 158: The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s Golden Finger Cheat
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy pitied the Five-Elements Sect’s defeat, considering how unjust the battle was for them. No one knew the extent of Yun Zhi’s capabilities better than her. Even when I have fully regained my strength, Yun Zhi is still qualified to be my opponent, and the outcome might very well be fifty-fifty.
You sent someone like that to contest against the Five-Elements Sect? Isn’t that no different from thrashing your own grandson? I’ll be surprised if the Five-Elements Sect can take that lying down.
Lu Yang thought to himself, Immortal Fairy, please stop boasting. If you were so capable, with the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the Nine-Layers Immortal qualified to be your opponents, how did you die back then?
As the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was reveling in the feeling of being the sect leader, she didn’t notice Lu Yang’s expression.
She tried to assuage everyone’s mood. “It’s said that the Five Great Immortal Sects have a close-knit relationship like hands and legs. I feel that we don’t have to treat the Five-Elements Sect so harshly.”
Second Elder sneered. “Right, we are the hands, and the Five-Elements Sect is the legs. The hands and legs are not connected, so where is this close-knit relationship?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy discreetly asked Sixth Elder, Feng Ya. “Does Second Elder have some sort of grudge with the Five-Elements Sect?”
As Sixth Elder had appeared as just a projection, there was no need to hold one’s breath when communicating with her through the mind.
She contemplated for a bit and reckoned that although it was a private matter, she saw no reason to hide it from the acting sect leader. “When Second Senior Brother was young, he liked a woman called Shangguan Yu and even confessed to her. However, she rejected him outright.
“Subsequently, he happened to catch sight of Shangguan Yu and Qiu Jin’an whispering to each other in an intimate manner, looking like they were making a lifelong vow to be together. From then on, Second Senior Brother has found the Five-Elements Sect distasteful.”
Qiu Jin’an was the current sect leader of the Five-Elements Sect.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy knitted her brow. Something like this is indeed tricky to handle. She cleared her throat and said, “Since we are still the hosts and the Five-Elements Sect our guests, we should still observe the relevant etiquette and protocol. I have drafted a basic event proposal, and I would require everyone’s cooperation.
“The welcoming ceremony will be held in the Martial Plaza. It’s spacious, allows room for standing, and is close to our mountain peaks.”
The core area of the Dao-Seeking Sect consisted of nine mountain peaks, one for the sect leader and one for each of the eight elders. These nine peaks were positioned in the shape of a lotus, with the center being the most bustling place. It housed large businesses such as restaurants, bookstores, and clothing stores for the disciples’ recreation. There were also trial grounds and puppet arenas for disciples to train their physical form, and the biggest of them all was the Martial Plaza.
The Martial Plaza was primarily used for sparring among disciples. Its entire platform had been refined such that it was sturdy and indestructible. Furthermore, it was shielded by layers of arrays, preventing damage from intense collisions. Even if it were damaged, it could repair itself automatically. The array also ensured that the duels between disciples wouldn’t affect bystanders. This place was practically perfect.
“Fourth Elder, you are the most attentive and have an understanding of arrays. Please check the arrays at the Martial Plaza for any loopholes or gaps and whether they can withstand the force from continuous high-intensity collisions.”
“Understood.”
“After both parties have delivered their speeches, it should be around noon. It would be a great chance to bond over a meal. I happened to acquire an immortal’s personal journal which records rare methods of preparing meals. I will be leveraging this opportunity to demonstrate it to everyone.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy took it upon herself to undertake the task of cooking.
“Next would be the sparring segment. My initial plan is to carry it out according to cultivation stages: the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transfiguration stages.”
The division was very reasonable; at the very least, the bloody history of Yun Zhi dominating the arena wouldn’t repeat itself.
“First Elder, with the Five-Elements Sect visiting, places like restaurants may observe an increase in customer traffic, leading to potential price gouging. When the time comes, please assign people to patrol these venues to prevent such incidents from occurring.
“In addition, some disciples like gambling and may use this opportunity to set up underground casinos. First Elder, please also keep an eye on that. Shut down any illegal operations and mete out punishments as necessary.
“Third Elder, during the exchange, there will be a large flow of people, and conflicts will inevitably arise. You will need to send some disciples to maintain order on-site.
“Fifth Elder, please craft four wooden boards to broadcast the contest at the Martial Plaza in real-time so that everyone can watch it.”
The elders nodded, finding the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s arrangements reasonable and thorough. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was able to delegate the tasks orderly because of her entire night’s efforts—mostly spent pleading Lu Yang to lend a helping hand.
Lu Yang had no choice but to act as the temporary acting sect leader’s external brain, providing her ideas and advice. He was truly Huang Doudou’s golden finger cheat, offering her timely assistance at critical junctures.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy continued assigning the tasks. “Seventh Elder, please concoct more pills, mainly those for saving lives, healing injuries, and detoxification.”
Seventh Elder hesitated for a bit before nodding. “Certainly, but disciples typically show restraint in their duels, so such pills may not come in handy.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy also agreed, so she asked Lu Yang within the mental space. “Why did you ask him to concoct those pills?”
“Because I’m worried about food poisoning.”
She let out an “oh” before withdrawing her consciousness from the mental space, and she repeated it to the Seventh Elder, “I’m worried about food poisoning...wait...” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy caught on and glared at Lu Yang, who shrugged innocently.
“After the exchange between disciples, according to plan, the Everlasting Creed will ambush us.”
The elders were stunned. What do you mean by “according to plan?” Are you the one setting the plan?
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy put on a solemn expression. “We have planted a mole within the Everlasting Creed, someone with a rather high position who knows part of their plans.”
Lu Yang remarked to himself, Yeah right, the mole has already become their faith.
“According to reliable sources, the Everlasting Creed will dispatch two vice creed leaders and five higher-ups.”
Although the vice creed leaders were at the Fusion Stage, they wouldn’t be able to stir up trouble in the Dao-Seeking Sect without immortal treasures. As for the Fusion cultivators of the Dao-Seeking Sect, they naturally didn’t consist of only the sect leader and eight elders. The Dao-Seeking Nine were the nine most outstanding people in that generation—it didn’t mean there were only nine people in their generation. The rest were either away on missions or guarding treasure grounds somewhere within the Dao-Seeking Sect; some were also uninterested in working and in a semi-retired state, rarely showing up.
“When the time comes, I will arrange for someone to monitor the Everlasting Creed. If someone shouts “take action,” all of us will take action together and seize them. Try to take it easy and capture them alive,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy added.

After the meeting ended, the elders went about their own tasks.
On the other hand, Lu Yang left the Dao-Seeking Sect with the event plan and met with Tang Yunsheng again.
“Inspecting Officer Tang, I have brought the Dao-Seeking Sect’s event plan with me. This is all public information, so it’s very easy to obtain.”
Tang Yunsheng was overjoyed. However, he looked slightly puzzled after browsing through the event plan. “Why does it seem so similar to the event plan I imagined?”
“This just means that you are on point with your predictions!”
Tang Yunsheng didn’t think much of it and assumed it was purely a coincidence.
Lu Yang continued, “I think that we should decide on a signal for our operation. For instance, the vice creed leader could shout ‘take action,’ then all of us can act together, catching the Dao-Seeking Sect off guard!”
Tang Yunsheng nodded, approving Lu Yang’s suggestion.
