Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 953: Bai Ye Took the Initiative

Sinner Hall, which had always been cold and quiet, had recently become unusually lively. Lan Ting observed this and fretted over it in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

She had no grounds to stop her senior and junior sisters; after all, there was nothing wrong with visiting a guest.

Though their intentions are hardly pure.

Fortunately, when night fell, the other disciples had a sense of propriety and refrained from disturbing Lu Yang’s rest, allowing Lan Ting to exhale a slight breath of relief.

Though Lu Yang still couldn’t rest at night.

“Shifu, this is Lu Yang’s current situation,” the shrunken Jinghong said to the jet-black ring in her hand.

She had no idea what her shifu feared and why her shifu dared not probe with spiritual consciousness, leaving her to verbally recount Lu Yang’s situation in the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace.

The consciousness within the ancient black ring pondered a moment, then transmitted an aged and deep voice. “It seems this child’s constitution is somewhat special, innately attracting women. Perhaps what he condensed during the Golden Core Stage was the Harem Golden Core!

“You must keep your distance from him, lest you be influenced by his constitution. Those who can form the Harem Golden Core are often not tolerated by heaven and earth, meeting tragic fates.”

“Understood.”

Jinghong stroked the black ancient ring, feeling immensely reassured.

She had obtained this ring from a secret domain. The existence within the ring was ancient, powerful, and omniscient, guiding her cultivation. Following its instructions, she had gradually improved her constitution, mastered artifact refinement techniques, and advanced to the Divine Transfiguration Stage, achievements that brought her to where she was today.

At the ring’s behest to conceal her abilities, no one in the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace knew the full extent of her skills.

“Senior Brother’s experiences are truly incredible.” Bai Ye continuously replaced the stories Lu Yang had just told in her mind, lamenting that she couldn’t witness them in person. “What a pity I can’t leave my original form’s territory; otherwise, I can venture into the jianghu with you, Senior Brother.”

Lu Yang remarked inwardly, Bai Ye, if you go down the mountain with your Transcendent Tribulation cultivation, that’s not called ‘venturing into the jianghu’—you’ll be sweeping through the jianghu.

Like the Epoch Immortal, from the moment Bai Ye developed spirit intelligence, she was equivalent to a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator.

“Oh, I could just leave by moving the mountain!” Inspired by Lu Yang’s stories, Bai Ye’s thinking had subtly shifted, growing increasingly clever.

After all, the Great Snow Mountain has so many peaks; moving one wouldn’t matter.

“Wouldn't carrying a mountain around be rather conspicuous?” Lu Yang kindly pointed out the flaw in this idea, though he did feel sorry for Bai Ye and wished he could take her out for a stroll.

The sky-reaching Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor moving a snow-capped mountain—the very thought is terrifying. Anyone witnessing it would take to their heels without a second thought.

A brilliant idea suddenly struck Bai Ye, and she came up with a compromise. “I could move a mountain to your Dao-Seeking Sect instead.”

Although I can’t accompany Senior Brother Lu Yang in venturing into the jianghu, a change of environment would be nice.

Lu Yang opened his mouth, then closed it, realizing he had no reason to refute it.

Within the mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy nodded with satisfaction. I knew that Xiao Yangzi and I were of one mind.

“Xiao Yangzi deliberately pointed out how conspicuous moving a mountain would be, thereby subconsciously leading Bai Ye to propose moving the snow mountain to the Dao-Seeking Sect. This level of scheming is already on par with mine.”

“Immortal Fairy, don’t talk nonsense. Bai Ye took the initiative to suggest coming to the Dao-Seeking Sect,” Lu Yang hastily clarified. This makes it seem as though I had hoodwinked Bai Ye into coming to the Dao-Seeking Sect. If Big Senior Sister and Senior Brother Dai misunderstand, the consequences would be dire.

“We’ll definitely say that it was Bai Ye who took the initiative,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy replied, wearing an expression that said, “this immortal gets it.”

Early the next morning, the Moonchaser True Person fixed Lu Yang with an unfriendly stare. “Lu Yang, you kid, it’s one thing to have good relations with our immortal palace disciples, but now you want to trick Little Ye into leaving?”

She has only known Lu Yang for a few days, and she already has thoughts of moving a mountain to the Dao-Seeking Sect. If she continues interacting with Lu Yang, who knows what would happen?

“A’Ri, I was the one who took the initiative; it has nothing to do with Senior Brother Lu Yang,” Bai Ye quickly interjected. “Besides, if I go to the Dao-Seeking Sect, can’t you go too?” She couldn’t leave her original form’s territory, and neither could the Moonchaser True Person.

The Moonchaser True Person hesitated for a moment and didn’t counter. Although this may feel like I’ve let down the immortal palace I founded, I do have thoughts of playing somewhere else.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy praised Lu Yang’s actions effusively. As expected of Xiao Yangzi, he knows that as long as he can hoodwink Bai Ye, Bai Ri will obediently follow her to our Dao-Seeking Sect. If he weren’t already at the pinnacle of officialdom with no further titles to confer on him, I would certainly promote him.

“Xiao Yangzi, how about you become the Dou Emperor now?”

A question mark popped out of Lu Yang’s head. He was puzzled how the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had suddenly conceived such a terrifying idea.

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, may I also consult you regarding Sword Dao?” Two cells away, Xuanyuan Tianhen called out. Having witnessed his junior brother Xue Shilou’s great gains from Lu Yang the previous day, he could no longer hold himself back.

“It’s possible, but could you have Fellow Daoist Xue relay your questions?” Lu Yang kindly suggested. With Xue Shilou between them, Xuanyuan Tianhen could only shout, which was too noisy.

“Junior Brother, ask Fellow Daoist Lu Yang: when I execute Falling Goose on Flat Sand Form, I always feel like something is lacking. What exactly is missing?”

Xue Shilou looked at his senior brother with an odd expression. “I can answer that question.”

Xuanyuan Tianhen leaned sideways to stare at Xue Shilou, as if he were meeting him for the first time. “You can answer it? Then why didn’t you say so before?”

“I thought you were deliberately concealing your abilities.”

“Conceal my ass! This is my actual level!” Xuanyuan Tianhen roared in anger.

“Senior Brother, keep your voice down. With that shout, the entire Sinner Hall now knows your Sword Dao level is not up to standard.”

“Conceal my ass! This is my actual level.” Xuanyuan Tianhen repeated in a lower voice, this time audible only to Xue Shilou.

“You don’t need to say it twice; I can hear you clearly,” Xue Shilou said helplessly. He often felt he was the senior brother instead.

“No can do. If I don’t say it twice, I’ll feel stifled inside.” Xuanyuan Tianhen insisted on clear communication and absolutely refused to get the short end of the stick.

“Fine.”

Xue Shilou addressed each of Xuanyuan Tianhen’s questions one by one, though he didn’t know everything. Occasionally, he encountered a difficult problem and had to seek Lu Yang’s help.

“Please excuse the embarrassment,” Xue Shilou said sheepishly.

“Don’t say that. Exchanging insights on Sword Dao benefits not only you and Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan but also greatly aids my improvement.”

Just as Xue Shilou was about to respond, his expression suddenly changed drastically. His face was covered in sweat as he rolled on the ground, howling in pain.

“So noisy,” remarked the Moonchaser True Person from two cells away.

After pondering for a bit, she figured no one would notice and secretly activated her Incipient Dao Fruit, aiming it at Xue Shilou. The latter immediately ceased his cries. Although he was still rolling on the ground, his expression shifted to one of comfort and joy—he was thoroughly enjoying himself.

The Moonchaser True Person’s subtle action eluded everyone, but not the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

“Making Xue Shilou perceive pain as pleasurable and granting him feelings of joy—could this be the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit?”
