Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 36: Not A Single Reassuring One

“Big Senior Sister may appear to be placid, but she’s actually temperamental. It’s just that she never shows it on her face. As the saying goes, accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. Staying by her side is no different from being with a tiger!

“She’s indeed a rare beauty or even the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, but you can’t judge a book by its cover. Can you imagine? Every meal, she would make me gnaw on lots of broken limbs of wild beasts and remains of plants. When it was late at night, she would even make me completely soak myself in water filled with the corpses of spirit medicinal herbs, claiming that this could help with strengthening my body!

“Another time, I wanted to learn spatial spells for more convenient travel in the future, but she taught me how to turn small instead, gripping me with her hand and literally having me toyed within her palm!”

Lu Yang denounced all of Yun Zhi’s “atrocities,” quickly resonating with the little herb kings and gaining their sympathy.

The ginseng doll couldn’t help but propose, “In that case, let’s coordinate to act from both inside and outside. You’ll be our inside agent while we’ll be your external support. Let’s rebel against that she-devil right now!”

Lu Yang was taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded, “Absolutely not! We still need to consider this at length. As the number one disciple of the Dao-Seeking Sect, Big Senior Sister’s cultivation is unfathomably high. I’m afraid that just the few of us won’t be a match for her.” He calmly analyzed, “For our safety, we could wait until my cultivation has reached the Transcendent Tribulation Stage. Our chances will be better that way. Then everyone can act together and retaliate against Big Senior Sister, taking her down in one move! At that time, everyone can exact their revenge and settle their scores. Wouldn’t that be better?”

The little herb kings were impressed. As expected of humans, they’re very thorough. “We initially thought that your intelligence was inferior to ours, but to think that you came up with such a meticulous plan! It looks like your intelligence is comparable to ours!”

With a common enemy, Lu Yang and the little herb kings soon became good buddies. It was a cacophony of noises as they shouted out their intentions to attack the she-devil.

With Lu Yang joining us little herb kings, we’ve become even stronger like tigers that have grown wings. Victory is already within our reach, just like us reaching into our pockets!

At the entrance of the herb garden, Grandpa Ba watched how Lu Yang inspired the others with his plan through a water mirror. He slowly let out a sigh. Yun Zhi had instructed him to keep an eye on Lu Yang so that nothing happens to him. However, if an accident did occur, he should inform her right away.

Is this current situation considered an accident? If I really tell Yun Zhi, it may become an accident even if it wasn’t one.

“The youngsters nowadays...why is there not a single reassuring one?”

~~~

“After all that talk, I realized that I haven’t demonstrated my spell to you.” Lu Yang stretched himself and prepared to cast the Shrinking Earth spell. Getting into a diving pose, he directly jumped into the earth.

The Dao Enlightenment Tree had a similar reaction to Yun Zhi, marveling at the sight. Despite having lived so long, it hadn’t seen any spell like it before. On the surface, it seems to be a spatial spell like Shrinking Earth To Inches. But when it’s actually applied, it resembles an elemental spell.

He can already cast an unprecedented spell at such a young age. He’s truly a spell genius.

Now that Lu Yang was entirely in his element with Shrinking Earth, he could also pull off diving, breaststroke, butterfly stroke, and even freestyle. Watching how he burrowed in and out of the soil smoothly could easily mislead one into hallucinating that the soil was actually water.

After the Qilin Immortality Herb and Time Terminus Flower were done fighting, the ginseng doll and Three-Leaf Starry Grass described their tragic experiences under the claws of the she-devil.

“Us herb kings finally have an undercover agent planted among the humans!” The four little herb kings sat on the branch of the Dao Enlightenment Tree and applauded, finding Lu Yang very powerful.

A strange cry emitted from Lu Yang. Pushing off with his legs, he jumped high up. He extended his arms, forming a cross shape and spinning 360 degrees in the air. However, with a grunt, he landed face-first on the ground; he had gotten dizzy from spinning mid-air.

Attempt to act cool failed.

The little herb kings hastily carried Lu Yang up in a frenzy. Such injuries were just superficial external wounds to Foundation Establishment cultivators; it wouldn’t take long for them to heal.

Seeing that Lu Yang really knew how to loosen the soil, the little herb kings took out a map of the herb garden, asking Lu Yang to follow the sequence when burrowing into the ground.

“This area of herbs have roots that run very deep—they can reach up to the third layer of soil. You have to be careful not to touch their roots and cause a misunderstanding. My suggestion is to burrow into the soil and loosen it around three to five meters underground. This is the safe zone. Herbs in other regions have roots reaching from half a meter to two meters.”

Lu Yang was curious. “What happens if we touch the root?”

The ginseng doll replied solemnly, “We would think that you have a foot fetish.”

Question marks were almost popping out of Lu Yang’s head.

The Time Terminus Flower intervened, “There are so many perverts among you humans. They like to eat our plant foot skin with beer, saying that it tastes good. For that, they even grow large quantities of it.”

”What's the plant you’re talking about?”

“Peanuts.”

Lu Yang couldn’t really keep up with the little herb kings’ train of thoughts. Fortunately, he didn’t dwell on his topic longer and started to follow the digging route provided by the ginseng doll.

The ginseng doll was tired from watching the earthworm couple, but it found it entertaining to watch humans burrowing into the ground. It ran behind Lu Yang and followed him closely.

The little herb kings were also capable of traversing underground, but their method was different from Lu Yang’s—they merged with the earth instead of pushing apart the soil like Lu Yang.

The soil in areas Lu Yang passed by became soft, just right for the little herb kings.

The Dao Enlightenment Tree watched them having fun and sighed. Sadly, trees can't burrow into the ground. It then looked up at the sun and found it scorching hot, sighing again. “Why am I so tall? I can't even find shade to sit in.”

The Dao Enlightenment Tree felt that the world was full of malice toward it.

The little herb kings followed right behind Lu Yang’s buttocks and played for the whole day. On the way back, they were still frolicking around and giggling, “Boil some water for a bath!”

The Dao Enlightenment Tree had already prepared a wooden bucket filled to the brim with water, drawn from the stream that irrigated the herbs.

A bright light appeared from the Qilin Immortality Herb’s stomach and slowly moved upward. It finally ended at the mouth, causing it to spew out Qilin True Fire.

The Qilin Immortality Herb was just like the real qilin. It was no wonder that the ancient people claimed that they had seen a qilin.

The Qilin True Fire had an extremely high temperature. In a split second, the water was already bubbling. The little herb kings jumped in one after another, closing their eyes as they floated about on the water surface.

Lu Yang found this sight very familiar, as if he had seen something similar in the kitchen before.

Oh, I remember now. This is called medicinal cuisine.[1]

But it's still my first time seeing the ingredients jumping into the pot so enthusiastically.

Soon, medicinal fragrance wafted through the air. Lu Yang inhaled a deep breath and instantly became invigorated, even finding that his cultivation seemed to be on the verge of improving.

“As expected of herb kings. Their medicinal power is really terrifying.”

Lu Yang watched the little herb kings playing in the water and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

I recall Big Senior Sister mentioning that longevity is a poison, a kind of pain and suffering that no ordinary person can endure. Only those with characters beyond a normal person can bear the misery of immortality.

The little herb kings lived through countless ages, witnessing an unimaginable number of major historical events. Those people and matters might have long passed, but only the little herb kings still live.

I'm afraid it's precisely because of their child-like personalities that they can live so long without breaking down.

It's just that...they're too gullible.
