Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 744: The Search for The Longevity Immortal Herb

The five of them squeezed into the carriage. The old horse’s heart was set on returning home. A journey to the East Sea would usually take four or five days, but this time, they reached the Great Xia border, Ming City, in just half a day.

After having their identities verified, the five entered the city to apply for exit documents.

“Name?”

“Lu Yang?”

“Identity?”

“Disciple of the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

“What is your purpose for going to the East Sea?”

“Travel.”

“Alright, you may proceed.”

“Hmm? Why are there so many people?” Meng Jingzhou noticed three large ships at the departure port. Judging by the insignias on the ship, they belonged to Great Xia’s government.

Is the imperial court sending envoys to visit the East Sea Dragon Palace?

“Excuse me, brother, what are those three large ships about to depart?” Meng Jingzhou randomly stopped a kind-looking passer-by.

“You’re talking about that? I heard those are the fleet organized by the Second Imperial Prince to go out to sea.”

“Why is the Second Imperial Prince going out to sea?”

That person lowered his voice mysteriously. “From what I heard, the Xia Emperor is gravely ill, with little lifespan left. The Second Imperial Prince heard there is a longevity medicine at the East Sea, so he organized three large ships to the East Sea to search for this medicine.”

Meng Jingzhou naturally knew the Xia Emperor had a limited lifespan left, but he hadn’t expected the news to have spread among the common folk.

“Immortal Fairy, does longevity medicine really exist in the world?” Lu Yang asked upon overhearing Meng Jingzhou’s conversation with the passer-by.

“In any case, this immortal doesn’t recall cultivating such an immortal herb.” As the leader of the Everlasting Lineage, she could make everyone in the world live forever if she wished.

“I remember now, I did cultivate it once. That was when the Nine-Layers Immortal was researching the power of yin and yang. He had the jade rabbits and jinwu golden crows mate, but after prolonged mating, they became listless with their energy depleted, so he asked me to think of a solution.

“Hence, I cultivated one Longevity Immortal Herb, ground it into powder, mixed it with water, and fed it to the jade rabbits and jinwu crows.

“From this perspective, this immortal also shares some credit for the Nine-Layers Immortal’s results from the research on yin-yang power.”

Lu Yang clicked his tongue. This Longevity Immortal Herb sounds far more effective than any yang-boosting medicine. The jade rabbits and jinwu crows that the Nine-Layers Immortal bothered to study must have at least been at the Fusion Stage.

“However, one Longevity Immortal Herb can only grant longevity to one person. If a whole bunch of jade rabbits and jinwu crows ate it, it merely prolonged their lifespan and lost the longevity effect.

“Aside from that, I’ve never cultivated a Longevity Immortal Herb again.”

“How is the Longevity Immortal Herb cultivated?” Lu Yang felt that this was a skilled craft; learning it could save the Xia Emperor.

“Simple. Just take a drop of this immortal’s blood and drip it onto any random plant. One drop of blood can cultivate one Longevity Immortal Herb.”

Lu Yang, “...”

It sure is simple, but it can’t be mastered.

“I haven’t heard of the Heaven-Mandate Immortal and the others cultivating longevity herbs either. Those fools probably couldn’t cultivate them either. It’s hard to say for half-immortals.”

“Can half-immortals cultivate Longevity Immortal Herbs too?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy rolled her eyes, her voice languid. “How’s that possible? Half-immortals can’t even achieve longevity themselves, so what Longevity Immortal Herbs can they cultivate?

“If they were a half-immortal from the Everlasting Lineage, such as one with an Undying Incipient Dao Fruit or Imperishable Incipient Dao Fruit, they could cultivate spirit herbs that greatly extend one’s lifespan.

“By the way, Second-in-Command, are you sure you don’t want an Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit? It’s free, no charge,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy urged Lu Yang again.

“No, I want to rely on my own efforts to cultivate an Incipient Dao Fruit.” I can’t be someone like Li Haoran, eating soft rice and living off women.

Seeing Lu Yang reject her again, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked quite regretful. “You’ll need to work hard then. Look at Li Haoran, he’s already a half-immortal, while you’re only at the Two Infants Stage.”

“It’s called the Double Infant Stage... Wait, what do you mean Li Haoran is already a half-immortal?”

“Li Haoran has a Reincarnation Incipient Dao Fruit, so he’s a half-immortal, of course.” As the founder of cultivation realms, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy held the final right of interpretation.

Lu Yang’s expression changed as he turned his gaze toward Li Haoran, who was currently applying for his exit documents. To think that despite Li Haoran having the slowest cultivation progress among us five, he actually has the highest cultivation level.

“What’s your purpose for going to the East Sea?”

“Returning home to visit family.”

“Then I wish you a pleasant family visit.”

“Thank you.”

Lu Yang and the others noticed a commotion behind them after they finished their customs clearance.

“Look, it’s a demon!”

“True, it’s become a demon spirit!”

The five turned around and saw the old horse standing on two legs, one leg resting on the counter and the other holding up the carriage while going through the exit procedures. It was a bizarre scene that appeared completely out of place.

It was no wonder there was such a commotion. Even Lu Yang and the others would have taken a second look.

After the old horse finished saying thank you, he put down the carriage and resumed walking on four legs, passing by five dumbfounded individuals with a gait as steady as an ordinary horse.

“Let’s go, what are you standing around for? Haven’t you seen me walk upright before?” The old horse urged the five inexperienced individuals. Judging by their reaction, they need more training and exposure.

“I thought you were going to stow away to the East Sea, old horse.”

The old horse snorted and ignored Meng Jingzhou. How can I admit that I had originally come to Great Xia as a stowaway and was nearly caught by the authorities?

Such embarrassing matters are best left unsaid.

“Whoa, it’s the sea!” They were ultimately young at heart. Seeing the blue waves and ocean sprays, they couldn’t help but feel excited.

Tao Yaoye was so excited that she removed her shoes and stepped onto the soft sand, letting the seawater cover her feet. The cool sensation felt inexplicably comfortable, and she kept smiling.

Lu Yang acted better; he had seen the sea in his previous lifetime.

Of course, the sea in his previous life couldn’t compare in size to the East Sea before him, nor would hundred-meter-long whales perform diving acrobatics above the sea in his past life.

They saw a hundred-meter-long whale leap out from the water, soaring a thousand meters high before plunging headfirst back into the sea with a boom, like a bomb exploding on the surface and sending waves rolling.

There were also schools of fish floating on the sea surface, lining up to form a suspended fish bridge. Glittering under the sunlight, it was like a massive bridge cast from gold and silver. Two lovers started from opposite ends, met in the middle, and expressed their feelings to each other in a romantic atmosphere.

Both scenes were distinctive features of the East Sea border. The only difference was that for the former, the whales enjoyed diving, while for the latter, the fish forming a bridge was a paid performance.

The three large ships searching for the Longevity Immortal Herb set sail. The crew members were in high spirits, determined to find the legendary herb and extend the Xia Emperor’s lifespan.

These large ships were built by the most skilled shipbuilding cultivators the Second Imperial Prince could find. Not only were the ships enormous and operated like a small city, with a total of nine deck levels and all kinds of supplies available, but they were also powered by spirit stones. Once they set sail, their speed surpassed that of flying vessels by severalfold, making them arguably the fastest means of transportation on the sea.

Then, the crew saw a horse-drawn carriage galloping rapidly across the sea’s surface. The horse glanced back at the three large ships in disdain before accelerating again, swiftly leaving the ships behind. Faint cheers could even be heard from within the carriage.

After all, no matter how fast the large ships were, they couldn’t outpace a great demon king returning home to visit family.
