Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 207: Senior Brother Ji said, “I know where the problem lies.”

Just as Lu Yang was trapped and contemplating how he should escape, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy woke up from her sleep. Noticing that Lu Yang was locked in a dungeon, her eyebrows arched with delight. “Lu Yang, have you finally been caught and punished for too many evil deeds?”

Lu Yang replied, “...Immortal Fairy, can’t you wish me well?

“Fine then, I wish you success in reducing your sentence.”

Lu Yang inhaled two deep breaths of air and forced himself to explain, “I was practicing a spell, but there just happened to be a small mishap.”

“What spell were you practicing?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was curious what kind of spell could lock its caster in a dungeon.

“Draw Ground as Prison.”

“Got it.”

While the two were conversing, a large hand suddenly appeared and yanked Lu Yang out of the ground. It was none other than Ji Hongwen.

Just moments ago, he had watched in a daze as Lu Yang burrowed underground and built a prison for himself out of earth. Ji Hongwen couldn’t process what had happened. Is there even anything similar between the spell I taught you and the spell you learned?

Oh, the names are similar.

But that makes it even more ridiculous!

Faced with Ji Hongwen’s helpless gaze, Lu Yang blinked innocently. “Senior Brother Ji, is there still hope for my Draw Ground as Prison?”

Ji Hongwen nodded steadily. “The sages advocate for education for all, irrespective of background.[1] As long as the method is appropriate, all students can be taught. I will definitely be able to teach you!”

Lu Yang was delighted. See? Senior Brother Ji is still reliable.

“Try casting the spell you have learned again. This time, draw a circle around me. Let me see where the problem lies.”

“Alright.”

Lu Yang recalled how he had cast the spell earlier as he drew a circle around Ji Hongwen with his finger.

The circle was perfect, in accordance with pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Then, Ji Hongwen felt his body sink and found himself locked in an underground prison.

Ji Hongwen, “...”

He blinked, still stunned as to what had just happened. As a Fusion cultivator, if he had the intention of resisting, Lu Yang would have no way of locking him in the dungeon. However, that would have prevented him from figuring out how Lu Yang had learned it off-kilter.

As Ji Hongwen frequently substituted Fourth Elder to teach his lessons, he was effectively half a teacher. As a teacher, I should teach the students until they truly understand. But before teaching the students until they truly understand, I have to understand them.

Ji Hongwen knocked the earth pillars and found the dungeon to be quite sturdy, enough to trap an Intermediate Foundation Establishment cultivator. It can be considered a form of combat tactic.

That said, he still didn’t understand how Lu Yang had learned it off-kilter.

Ji Hongwen darted out of the underground prison. “Try again.”

Lu Yang used his finger again and locked Ji Hongwen back inside.

Ji Hongwen was like a groundhog, constantly burrowing in and out of the ground. After repeating this dozens of times, just as Lu Yang was about to cast the spell again, Ji Hongwen stopped him.

“I know where the problem lies.” Ji Hongwen nodded firmly with a profound gaze.

Lu Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked him what the problem was.

“The problem is that I shouldn’t be teaching you.”

“Ah?”

Ji Hongwen sighed inwardly. It’s not that I’m not putting the sages’ ideologies into practice. I simply have limited perceptiveness to understand.

He also suspected that it wasn’t that he couldn’t teach Lu Yang. Perhaps even if the sages were here, they would also be unable to teach him.

“Man Gu, Meng Jingzhuo, remember to practice diligently.”

“Yes.”

Ji Hongwen left gracefully, leaving the three of them to continue drawing circles on the ground.

After practicing for so long, Meng Jingzhou gradually grasped the key to Draw Ground as Prison, and his success rate increased significantly. On the other hand, Man Gu was still not progressing. The circles he drew couldn’t confine anyone.

“It’s over, Senior Brother Ji has given up on you,” Meng Jingzhou mocked Lu Yang with schadenfreude.

“Draw Underground Prison!” Humiliated, Lu Yang flew into a rage and swiftly drew a circle around Meng Jingzhou.

With a yelp, Meng Jingzhou was thrown into an underground prison.

He broke free with brute force and immediately drew a circle at Lu Yang, trapping him inside. “Draw Ground as Prison!”

“Draw Underground Prison!”

“Draw Ground as Prison!”

“Draw Underground Prison!”

“Draw Ground as Prison!”

“Wicked creature, you have caused endless bloodshed and countless grievous souls! Watch as I suppress you in this underground prison, never to rise again for eternity!”

“Old bald donkey, it’s still uncertain who will suppress whom. I’d like to see if you can walk out of the circle this Devil Sovereign has drawn!”

“Ha! Take this!”

“Take that!”

As the two applied the spell they had just learned in actual combat, their proficiency grew at a remarkable rate.

Only Man Gu remained focused as he drew circles repeatedly by the side.

In the end, the two were exhausted with their powers depleted, so both ceased fire. They sat on the ground, panting heavily. While they fought, they had been shouting out their moves so much that their throats were dry and hoarse. With the last bit of their power, they formed water orbs in the air and drank heartily.

“Senior Brother Man Gu, I’ve finally found you.” A figure walked into the bamboo grove and approached Man Gu.

“Li Haoran?” Lu Yang recognized the visitor.

“Oh, Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Meng, both of you are here too,” Li Haoran greeted them.

“Senior Brother Man, the giant hammer you requested for modifications has been completed.”

“So fast? Quick quick quick, take it out and let me see.” Excited by the news that his weapon had been upgraded and fitted with new parts, Man Gu could hardly wait.

Li Haoran didn’t say anything as he pulled out the giant hammer—as tall as a person—from his identity jade tablet.

The head of the hammer resembled a huge red agate, giving it a solid and heavy appearance as it sparkled under the sunlight. The color of the handle was changed to pure white, matching Man Gu’s white Confucian robe.

“Not bad, not bad.” Man Gu weighed the large iron hammer in his hands and swung it a couple of times, extremely satisfied with the whooshing sound it created.

Li Haoran had also retained the pivotal feature of broadcasting Words of Sages during combat.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou wore strange expressions. “Junior Brother Li, are you sure this is a hammer?”

“Yes.” Li Haoran nodded as if it was the most natural thing.

Meng Jingzhou grumbled, “What do you mean by yes? This is nothing but a super-sized lollipop! Man Gu even licked the head of the hammer just now!”

Li Haoran elucidated the reasons for his modification. “Originally, Senior Brother Man Gu told me to add two sharp edges to both ends of the hammer. However, considering that he is a Confucian cultivator, I suggested that using an iron hammer to hit people isn’t elegant and that it would go against the public’s impression of Confucian cultivators.

“Furthermore, since Senior Brother Man Gu likes to use the hammer in combat, I figured out a compromise—transforming the hammer into the appearance of a super-sized lollipop. That way, it’s more approachable and can be used as a weapon during battle. When not in use, it can also be eaten. Carrying the large hammer while walking on the streets can even attract children’s attention and increase its friendliness. This is effectively killing many birds with one stone!”

Indeed, when it comes to approachability, no weapon can compare to a super-sized lollipop.

Lu Yang, “...”

I’m doomed. I actually think that Li Haoran has a point. Could I have been converted by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy?

Man Gu added, “Also, the lollipop Junior Brother Li makes is twenty percent cheaper than what the dining hall offers.”

Only then did Lu Yang remember that the dining hall was also a business under the Artifact Refinement Peak. Li Haoran, are you sure you’re not trying to open a lollipop shop in the dining hall and experimenting with your skills on Man Gu first?

“This is not a matter of whether it is cheap...forget it, as long as you’re happy with it,” Lu Yang remarked weakly, giving up on trying to persuade them.

“Hmm?” Lu Yang heard someone transmitting him an auditory message.

“What’s the matter?”

“Big Senior Sister has returned, and she told me to go back to Heaven’s Gate Peak.”
