Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 220: Overcast and Clear Skies
Chapter 220: Overcast and Clear Skies
As the founders of “One More Time” Barbeque Shop, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s skills would naturally be no letdown. This was already evident back in Yanjiang Commandery. Now that Lu Yang had mastered the Three Flavored True Fire, his abilities had risen to a new level.
Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lu Yang was confident that no one could rival him—in terms of barbeque skills.
As Lu Yang shook the skewers, the cumin and chili powder rolled between the pieces of meat. Seared by the fire, the flavors were completely released, making even someone like Qin Yanyan, who preferred a lighter palate, involuntarily swallow her saliva.
“Come, it’s ready!” Lu Yang placed two large handfuls of skewers onto the barbeque grill with a loud and hefty thud.
Meng Jingzhou wasn’t idle either. He kept flipping the roasted potato slices, leeks, and tofu, each emitting a tantalizing aroma that was no less enticing than Lu Yang’s.

“Delicious!” Li Haoran’s parents were impressed upon digging into a few skewers. As expected of model students. Not only do they have high cultivation, but their culinary skills are also amazing. Li Haoran can’t compare to them at all.
“I’ll have a skewer too!” Li Haoran had long heard of the legends of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s barbeque, but he didn’t have the chance to try them yet.
These are the barbeque skewers so delicious that they brought down the entire Everlasting Creed.
“Delicious!” Li Haoran’s eyes lit up. This is the best barbeque skewer I’ve ever tasted.
Qin Yanyan and Su Yiren nibbled reservedly at the beginning, but as the atmosphere became livelier, they loosened up and enjoyed their meal heartily.
Watching everyone eat to their heart’s content, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was drooling with envy. In her soul form, she had no sense of taste and couldn’t eat. “Lu Yang, let me use your body. I want to eat a couple of skewers too,” she discussed with Lu Yang.
Lu Yang didn’t mind and generously gave control of his body to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. The latter happily took over and ate with gusto, not showing any self-restraint.
“Haha, Senior Brother Lu, you’ve loosened up too!” Li Haoran laughed. Senior Brother Lu was eating in a more elegant manner moments ago, but he’s now like a different person, wolfing down the skewers and downing the bamboo juice in large gulps.
There were many red-leaf bamboo forests in the mountains near Luofeng Commandery, and their bamboo juice was clear and sweet. Many tourists here would savor its refreshing fragrance.
Lu Yang sighed. You’re an immortal fairy, you know? Can’t you show a bit more restraint?
“The Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others also advised me to speak as little as possible in front of others. They even said that after much effort, they had finally improved the external world’s impression of immortals, and they warned me not to ruin it.
“But there are no outsiders here, are there?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t consider Lu Yang an outsider.
Lu Yang retorted in rage, “But the problem is that you’re using my body!”
“Aiya, why draw such a clear line between what’s yours and mine?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy demonstrated her magnanimity. “When I find my inheritance in the future, I’ll share half of it with you.”
Lu Yang remembered that when he first met the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, she had claimed that she’d buried immortal treasures on the North Star, all of which were her prized possessions.
Based on my understanding of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, there’s probably nothing good in there.
“If worse comes to worst, I’ll impart you a few immortal-level culinary skills.” The Everlasting treated the second-in-command of her Everlasting Lineage as her successor.
Lu Yang rolled his eyes and didn’t respond to her.
Casting aside this small exchange that only the two were privy to, everyone was content with the meal.
Li Haoran’s parents had arranged the respective rooms for their guests.
After Lu Yang washed up, he took out a half-human-sized pillow from his identity jade tablet. It was Lu Yang’s bolster; he liked to hug something while sleeping. With over a decade of sleep experience, Lu Yang could sleep well anywhere, never picky about his sleeping location.
~~~
Early the next morning, Lu Yang woke up to find that he had kicked his bolster to the foot of the bed, which made it look rather forlorn.
“This little lass Su Yiren is thoughtful,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy suddenly remarked.
“What do you mean?”
“While you were sleeping, she set up an array in the courtyard. It’s not much use to you, but for Li Haoran’s parents, it can allow them to subconsciously cultivate, infusing them with spirit energy to enhance their cultivation. However, this will take a very long time to show any results, so Li Haoran’s parents won’t notice it now.”
Walking out of his room, Lu Yang stretched lazily. The weather is not bad; an overcast day. Nice and cool.
Compared to sunny days and clear skies, Lu Yang preferred cloudy days and overcast skies.
He saw Li Haoran practicing his punches and meditating in the courtyard.
“Junior Brother Li is so hardworking even at home?” Lu Yang was astounded. I thought I’d woken up early enough. I didn’t expect Li Haoran to have gotten up even earlier, and he’s already cultivating.
Though I don’t remember him being this diligent when we were at the Dao-Seeking Sect?
Li Haoran wore a solemn expression as he transmitted an auditory message to Lu Yang. “Senior Brother Lu, that’s because you don’t know. Don’t be fooled by how delighted my parents were when I came home yesterday. Based on my experience, after a night’s sleep, the sense of novelty would have worn off for them by the next day. That’s when they’ll lecture me and upbraid me for doing nothing but eating and sleeping at home and living a very decadent life.
“Rather than suffering from their tirade, I might as well take action first and pretend to be industrious. Anyway, I’ll just do this for a bit in the morning, then go out to play later in the day. They won’t bother me then.”
Lu Yang felt like he had seen the light. I’ve never realized that there’s so much knowledge and depth to this.
What Li Haoran didn’t mention was that if Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou hadn’t come, his parents would have spoiled him for a couple more days. Now that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are here, the time they’ll pamper me will be cut short drastically!
“Haoran, you’re up so early?” Li Haoran’s mother noticed that Li Haoran was already cultivating early in the morning, with Lu Yang standing nearby with a wide smile.
It must be Lu Yang getting Haoran to join him in cultivating.
Li Haoran, “...”
He really wanted to say, “Mom, me ranking fifth in this cohort of the Dao-Seeking Sect is genuinely no small feat.”
This was not false. With Li Haoran’s talent, he could have been the undisputed first place in any first-class or ultra first-class sects. Even in the past few cohorts of the Dao-Seeking Sect, he could have also ranked in the top three.
Unfortunately, there are too many monsters in this particular cohort.
During breakfast, Su Yiren ate silently, not bringing up the array she had set up in the courtyard last night. It seemed like she didn’t want others to know about it. If not for the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, Lu Yang wouldn’t have known either.
Li Haoran beckoned to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. “Come, I’ll take you around the commandery!” After some thought, he also invited Qin Yanyan and Su Yiren.
“I only asked you along because you’re guests. Don’t overthink it,” Li Haoran said to Su Yiren.
Even so, Su Yiren smiled very brightly.
The group got ready and was about to set off when the overcast weather grew even more gloomy. The layers of clouds thickened, and the faint rumble of thunder could be heard in the distance.
“It’s going to rain.” Li Haoran looked up at the sky, a bit disappointed. Luofeng Commandery had much rainfall, and judging by how dark the sky was, a downpour seemed inevitable. “Looks like we won’t be able to go out today.”
Hearing his words, Su Yiren struck toward the sky with her palm. The oppressive tenebrous clouds instantly dissipated, replaced by a bright clear sky.
She smiled gently as if nothing had just happened. “It’s sunny now. Let’s head out.”
Li Haoran, “...”
