Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 937: The Mysterious Bai Ye

“Our immortal palace cannot accept benefits without offering something in return. Lu Yang, tell me, what does your Dao-Seeking Sect need?!” Luo Hongxia asked. Right now, she felt that Lu Yang was the best kid under heaven.

If the Twins River really proves effective, it could make up for the regrets of many in the immortal palace.

Even if Lu Yang wants Lan Ting, I would consent right away.

“Uh, perhaps you would like to ask my Big Senior Sister?” Lu Yang had no idea what the Dao-Seeking Sect needed. This was something only Yun Zhi would know.

“Right, right, right. I was being foolish.” Luo Hongxia quickly realized her oversight. Although Lu Yang is world-famous, he is not yet a decision-maker for the Dao-Seeking Sect. This matter should be discussed with Yun Zhi.

Luo Hongxia calmed down. This matter is of great significance; it mustn’t be rushed. To exchange for such an immortal item from the Dao-Seeking Sect, I have to carefully take stock of what our immortal palace possesses that is of equal value.

As the palace leader, Luo Hongxia had far more considerations than the average person. Until the Twins River’s efficacy could be verified, she had to keep the matter under wraps, lest it raise false hopes.

After seeing Lu Yang off, Luo Hongxia paced within her cave abode, hands clasped behind her back. It had been a long time since she experienced such fluctuations in her emotions.

The last time she experienced such emotional fluctuations was when she learned of Lan Ting’s interest in Lu Yang.

“To ascertain the Twins River’s efficacy, we must find someone to test it. It would be best to choose someone with higher cultivation so that if something happens, they can still be saved.”

Suddenly, Luo Hongxia thought of someone. Leaving her cave abode, she quietly made her way to the artifact refinement chamber to find the Third Elder, Zhu Hong.

Zhu Hong was a beauty with bronze skin. She was from a branch of the Barbarian Tribe and disliked elaborate formalities. While forging artifacts, she often wore only a few strips of cloth to cover the key areas.

With her hammer paused mid-air, she asked in confusion, “Senior Sister, why did you come in such a hurry? Do you urgently require me to forge some magical treasure?”

“Old Three, haven’t you always wanted a child? I can make you pregnant. Would you like to come with me to the Dao-Seeking Sect to give it a try?”

Zhu Hong’s mouth fell open, and she stood frozen in place. At some point, the hammer slipped from her grasp, crashing to the ground and creating a sizable pit.

Senior Sister, do you want to hear what you’re saying?

Heaven’s Gate Peak welcomed visitors from the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace.

“Palace Leader Luo, so you’re hoping to taste the water of the Twins River?” Yun Zhi asked.

Initially, when she learned that Luo Hongxia intended to pay her a visit, she found it strange. Little Junior Brother has only been at the immortal palace for two days. Could he have stirred up so much trouble that Luo Hongxia is demanding that I bring him back?

This troublemaking speed is a bit too fast; it’s breaking records.

Only after Luo Hongxia explained her purpose did Yun Zhi understand the situation.

So it’s because of the Twins River.

“Is that possible?” Luo Hongxia inquired.

“Of course, it is,” Yun Zhi replied.

Since Little Junior Brother could divulge information about the Twins River to Luo Hongxia, it implies that this matter has the Immortal Fairy’s approval. The Twins River belongs to the Immortal Fairy. She is free to do as she pleases with it.

Luo Hongxia and Elder Zhu Hong exchanged a glance, both elated.

“It is possible, but we are still figuring out how the Twins River water should be consumed and if there are any contraindications. I ask that you give us some time. Once we have worked it out, we will invite Elder Zhu Hong to partake.”

Yun Zhi genuinely did not know how the Twins River water should be consumed, what quantity was appropriate, or what contraindications existed. These were known only to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Only when Lu Yang returned with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy could they seek clarification.

However, Yun Zhi couldn’t mention such matters openly, lest she inadvertently reveal the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence or risk others misunderstanding that the Heaven Mandate Immortal resided within Lu Yang.

“I see.” Luo Hongxia and Elder Zhu Hong couldn’t help but show traces of disappointment.

Yun Zhi could only add. “Although the method of consumption remains unclear, please rest assured that the Twins River can certainly induce pregnancy. This I can guarantee.”

Even though there was no evidence, Yun Zhi’s assurance seemed to carry a mystical power that compelled one to believe her. The two women’s spirits were visibly lifted.

It’s just waiting for a few days. As two Fusion cultivators, we don’t lack time.

Watching their retreating figures, Yun Zhi couldn’t shake the feeling that Luo Hongxia and Zhu Hong resembled a long-time infertile couple, while she played the role of an old physician capable of miraculous cures.

If Elder Zhu Hong does become pregnant, her presenting me with a brocade banner that reads “Miraculous Cure” wouldn’t seem entirely out of place.

Yun Zhi shook her head, tossing out these peculiar thoughts. She felt that frequent contact with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was causing her own thinking to become peculiar.

After the two departed, Yun Mengmeng stealthily emerged and pounced onto Yun Zhi.

“There’s such a fun thing as the Twins River?” Yun Mengmeng’s eyes sparkled with curiosity about the Twins River.

It inevitably reminded her of the Mother-Child River in her hometown. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Yun Zhi shot Yun Mengmeng a sidelong glance. She pried the arms wrapped around her neck loose and warned, “You are not allowed to research anything regarding the Twins River.”

Yun Mengmeng stuck out her tongue in defiance.

Lan Ting increasingly felt that Lu Yang was truly amazing. He has just arrived at the immortal palace, yet he has already resolved a problem that has plagued us for a hundred thousand years.

If I get together with Lu Yang, I’m sure Shifu won’t oppose it; in fact, she’ll even offer us her blessings.

When night fell, Lan Ting bid Lu Yang goodbye and went to cultivate. Bai Ye came looking for Lu Yang again, carrying a small stool in her hand.

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, I’ve come to hear more stories.”

Lu Yang chuckled. “Skipping cultivation again to sneak out? Where did we leave off yesterday?”

“We were at the part where the three of you infiltrated the Everlasting Creed’s headquarters and reported its location, prompting the Dao-Seeking Sect and the imperial court to join forces to wipe out the Everlasting Creed.” Bai Ye sat on her small stool, her eyes gleaming with anticipation for more stories.

The two sat beneath the moon laurel tree in the courtyard, one narrating and one listening. Just like that, another night passed.

Before parting, they agreed to meet again tomorrow, and Bai Ye cheerfully handed Lu Yang a paper bag.

At Bai Ye’s gesture, Lu Yang opened the bag and discovered it contained numerous petals. “What are these?”

“These are moon laurel petals. They’re delicious. Senior Brother Lu Yang, you can snack on them when you have nothing to do.”

Moon laurel trees have petals? This was news to Lu Yang.

He pinched one and placed it in his mouth. The sweet fragrance of osmanthus blossomed on his tongue, intertwined with a tinge of spirit qi that transformed directly into his own spirit energy without any need for refinement.

“No wonder you dare sneak out and skip cultivation.” Eating moon laurel petals counts as cultivation. That’s so convenient.

Seeing that Lu Yang enjoyed them, Bai Ye grinned widely. “I don’t have many moon laurel petals myself, but if you like them, I’ll set some aside for you next time, Senior Brother.”

“It’s settled then.”

Lu Yang had never eaten moon laurel petals before and didn’t expect them to be so delectable. The more he ate, the more addictive they became.

Judging by Bai Ye’s tone, these shouldn’t be anything precious. If they’re too valuable, I would feel embarrassed to accept them.

Within the mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had sculpted a throne from snow. Seated upon it, she stared intently at Bai Ye’s figure, murmuring to herself.

“Is this lass a tree? Somehow, it doesn’t feel like it.

“Silly Xiao Yangzi can’t tell a thing. I suppose this is what they mean by ‘fortune favors fools.’”
