Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 759: How Did You All Manage to Stir Up So Much Trouble in Half a Day

Chapter 759: How Did You All Manage to Stir Up So Much Trouble in Half a Day

“The timing is about right. We have another friend waiting for us at the alliance headquarters.”

On the way to the alliance headquarters, Lu Yang chatted casually. “By the way, Senior Su, what brings you here to Penglai Island? Is it to attend this so-called Immortal Appraisal Convention?”

Su Yiren shook her head. “I was just passing through. I’m friends with a princess of the East Sea Dragon Palace. She invited me to attend the Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet. I was worried about potential delays on the journey, so I came to the East Sea in advance. That was when fellow Daoists from Penglai Island invited me to the Immortal Appraisal Convention.

“I see, so that’s how it is.” Lu Yang had surmised that, given Su Yiren’s taste, she wouldn’t have specifically come for such a convention. The five of them fighting among themselves would be more intense than the fights at the Immortal Appraisal Convention.

Lu Yang arrived at a good time. When he reached, Hero Yan had just finished his procedures and walked out of the pagoda.

“Finally settled.” Hero Yan felt a sense of relief wash over him. This alliance is truly black and shady. Not only are the procedures cumbersome, but everything hints at asking for money. It’s finally done after half a day.

“Apologies for keeping you waiting, Daoists. I didn’t expect being promoted to hall leader to be so complicated,” Hero Yan said with an apologetic smile. He then noticed Su Yiren leaning against Li Haoran. “Who is this?”

“It’s like this...” Lu Yang explained concisely. The more he spoke, the paler Hero Yan’s visage became.

Attending the Immortal Appraisal Convention, taking turns beating Fan Chong, being chosen as a male concubine by the Penglai Island Lord’s only daughter, two Fusion cultivators engaging in an all-out brawl, publicly humiliating the Mystic Spirit Daoist Priest... and all this happened in just half a day.

How did you all manage to stir up so much trouble in just half a day?

Of all these incidents, he was only qualified to attend the Immortal Appraisal Convention as one of the many spectators.

Suddenly, he realized this unfamiliar female cultivator was a Fusion expert and hurriedly performed a deep bow. “Junior Yan Chuan pays respects to Senior Su.”

“Penglai Island might seek revenge on us in the future. For safety’s sake, Hero Yan, it’s best that you don’t associate with us anymore,” Lu Yang kindly advised. With his current identity as a Five Elements Sect disciple, he couldn’t protect Hero Yan.

Only by bringing out my identity as Young Creed Leader Lu will we stand a chance.

Hero Yan felt that Lu Yang’s words made sense. The experiences he gained from staying with Lu Yang’s group every day were too frightening. As a mere Divine Transfiguration cultivator, I really can’t handle it.

“Then we shall part ways here. Daoists, if you ever come to my Fangshan Island in the future, I will certainly host you.”

“Goodbye.”

Hero Yan and Lu Yang’s group cupped fists solemnly in farewell, then turned and left Penglai Island.

“Just advanced to the Divine Transfiguration Stage yet without arrogance—that’s a rare mindset,” Su Yiren commented. She had seen several cultivators in the East Sea who had just advanced to the Divine Transfiguration Stage. They were arrogant beyond bounds, demonstrating poor mental states.

In fact, this was a prevalent problem among East Sea cultivators—emphasizing cultivation but neglecting mental state. This made them prone to falling into qi deviation or encountering bottlenecks.

Li Haoran thought, If you knew what Hero Yan experienced with us, you’d understand why he is without arrogance.

Su Yiren had been to Penglai Island several times and was relatively familiar with it, and Li Haoran had half of Qin Haoran’s memories. Together, they were more than sufficient as guides.

“We are currently on Penglai Island’s main island. It’s divided into inner and outer zones. The inner zone is the core area of Penglai Island, where the Immortal Appraisal Convention and the East Sea Cultivators Alliance headquarters are located.

“Where we are now is the outer zone, the area most densely populated with East Sea cultivators. These shops in the outer zone can definitely be traced back to their origins, belonging to Penglai Island’s various factions like family clans and elders. Due to the Immortal Appraisal Convention, there are more cultivators in the outer zone than usual.

“In the surroundings of the main island are three smaller islands where mortals live. They plant spirit grains, raise silkworms, mine ores...all for the sustenance, clothing, and needs of Penglai Island disciples.”

Li Haoran interjected, “Especially the mining areas; security is extremely tight. In my past life, I tried to steal a few spirit stones and got discovered.”

At the Dao-Seeking Sect’s 120,000-year celebration, Li Haoran had met Su Yiren, informing her he had awakened his past life memories and confessing that Qin Haoran was the Nine-Netherworlds Creed Leader.

Su Yiren wasn’t surprised. Qin Haoran had always been mysterious, obviously not like someone engaged in legitimate business. Moreover, Qin Haoran claimed that he would reincarnate, which was a belief of the Nine-Netherworlds Creed, indicating he was likely high-ranking in the Nine-Netherworlds Creed.

The six found a restaurant and sat down. The East Sea’s high humidity was something low-cultivators couldn’t withstand. Most teas provided in restaurants had dampness-removing effects.

Lu Yang and the others didn’t need dampness removal but didn’t mind ordering a pot for a taste, along with a few plates of local specialties.

Looking at the insects still wriggling on the plate, Lu Yang and the others really couldn’t bring themselves to eat them. The sliced fish, however, tasted excellent and was extremely fresh.

“What a pity. This fish just isn’t old enough; its spirit energy isn’t abundant. If it lived another ten years, the flavor would surely reach another level,” Meng Jingzhou remarked with slight regret. When he fooled around in the imperial capital, he frequented major restaurants and had considerable expertise in food.

“That’s easy to fix.” The Metamorphic Immortal Grass popped up from behind Tao Yaoye. “Ask the shop for a live white crucian carp; it must be alive.”

They were in a private room, so they weren’t afraid of outsiders seeing the Metamorphic Immortal Grass.

Meng Jingzhou called the waiter for a white crucian carp, stressing that it had to be alive and still jumping.

The waiter brought up a wooden basin with a white crucian carp. It was pure as jade and swimming inside. After placing the basin down, he left, but not forgetting to look at the group strangely.

Although our shop prides itself on freshness, this is the first time we’ve encountered patrons who would just bite into a live fish.

The Metamorphic Immortal Grass didn’t care what the waiter thought. It tore off an almost imperceptible bit of its leaf and fed it to the white crucian carp.

Blessed by fortune, the white crucian carp received a fortuitous opportunity, bursting forth with milky white rays. Then the light vanished. It had transformed into a twenty-year-old white crucian carp, brimming with spirit energy.

“Done.” The Metamorphic Immortal Grass had a look of accomplishment.

“Little Herb King?” Su Yiren was astonished. She couldn’t identify the Metamorphic Immortal Grass‘s variety but could discern that it was a little herb king.

“Such a tiny bit made this fish gain twenty years of cultivation?” Meng Jingzhou was shocked. Isn’t this Metamorphic Immortal Grass too heaven-defying?

The most central leaf of the Metamorphic Grass swayed, acting as its head. “How could it be that convenient? It’s because this fish requires very few resources for cultivation.

“If it were you five, this tiny bit of leaf would only increase your cultivation by an extra week.”

Lu Yang used the Qingfeng Sword to slice the white crucian carp into pieces, and everyone took a slice. The taste was indeed several times better than the previous white crucian carp.

Su Yiren had visited the East Sea several times but never eaten a white crucian carp of this level. Finding the Metamorphic Immortal Grass useful, her eyes lit up. Assuming the immortal grass’s ability was to enhance the quality of natural treasures, she took out a small porcelain vial from her storage ring and asked the immortal grass, “This is a treasure I obtained by chance. Could you increase its quality by one level? I have great use for it in the future.”

Meng Jingzhou found this small porcelain vial and its contents extremely familiar.

Isn’t this my essence blood?

Senior Su, what are you trying to do?
