Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 513: The stratagem of luring the tiger out of the mountains
Chapter 513: The stratagem of luring the tiger out of the mountains
"Damn it, that old thief Bu Yu runs so fast!"
"It's because you acted too soon. I told you before, wait until he leaves the Seek Tao Sect before making a move! But no, you had to attack the moment he showed his face. If it were me, I'd run too!"
"Couldn't help it. Got too excited seeing an enemy."
"So, what do we do now?"
"There is a way, but I'm not sure if it'll work."
"What way?"
"Don't forget, we're part of a marriage proposal team..."
...
Recalling the dense barrage of attacks earlier, Bu Yu Taoist felt a lingering fear. If he had taken a hit, it was uncertain whether he would have survived or just lost a layer of skin.
"Those people at the merchant guild, is this how they treat customers? I went to buy insurance, and they wouldn't sell it to me!"
Bu Yu Taoist was quite furious, thinking the merchant guild people were not qualified businessmen. They wouldn't even make money when it was offered. He wanted to buy the most expensive insurance.
...
"So this is the correct way to comprehend swordsmanship."
Lu Yang emerged from his state of enlightenment, feeling that his understanding of swordsmanship had reached a new level. The young sect master Lu, who had fought him to a draw three months ago, was no longer his match!
He opened his eyes and saw his eldest senior sister bringing over a stack of red, festive envelopes, handing them to him.
"What's this?"
"Invitation letters from marriage proposal teams, hoping to enter the Seek Tao Sect and discuss marriage with you in person."
Lu Yang casually picked up one of the invitations, and the sender was none other than the top-tier sect, White Horse Temple.
"...Am I really this popular?"
If Meng Jingzhou saw this, he'd be so envious he'd probably grind his molars to dust.
"Your popularity is one reason, but the main reason is they want to enter the sect to find your master."
"Master hasn't left yet?" Lu Yang was surprised. He thought that given his master's restless nature, he would have left after teaching him.
No, it wasn't that he was restless. Even when his master was in prison, he stayed put until his sentence was served.
"He was supposed to leave, but someone blocked the gate."
Lu Yang wasn't the least bit surprised by this turn of events; in fact, he felt it was only natural.
As far as he knew, his master's whereabouts were sold for astronomical prices on the black market, and the information was always in high demand. Any hint of his master's location would be bought up in no time, showing just how popular his master was.
Similarly, news of his master's return to the sect would spread just as quickly.

His master's enemies were all at the Body Fusion stage, and they could fly at terrifying speeds. If someone was proficient in spatial techniques, they'd arrive even faster.
He now felt that comprehending swordsmanship could indeed have "protection" as its goal.
Not protecting others, but mainly protecting himself.
"So what should we do now?"
Looking at the stack of invitation letters, Lu Yang felt a headache coming on. These people were here to propose marriage. If they were driven away, it would be the Seek Tao Sect that was in the wrong.
"There are two options." The eldest senior sister put down the invitations and analyzed.
"One is to quickly respond to them, agree to let them into the sect, and once they find the master, their goal will be achieved."
Lu Yang shook his head; this option was definitely not viable.
"What's the second option?"
"Hand over the master."
Lu Yang: "..."
The second option was even worse than the first.
"Isn't the master skilled in transformation techniques? Can't he transform into someone else and sneak out?"
The eldest senior sister shook her head, rejecting this plan: "White Horse Temple has brought out their temple's treasure, the Demon Revealing Mirror, which can see through all disguises."
"Even if it couldn't see through disguises, and the master successfully sneaked out, they wouldn't know and would still be at the gate proposing marriage to you."
"Let's just hand over the master."
Considering that handing over Bu Yu Taoist was extremely risky, the two first went to Pill Cauldron Peak to find the Seventh Elder.
"Junior Niece Yun, Junior Nephew Lu?" The Seventh Elder was very surprised to see the two of them together; it was rare for them to come to him simultaneously.
"Is there something you need?"
Since it concerned the master, they couldn't be too blunt. Lu Yang carefully chose his words: "Hypothetically, just hypothetically, if there was a very powerful Body Fusion stage cultivator with many enemies, also at the Body Fusion stage, and this cultivator was unlucky enough to be surrounded by his enemies, about fifty or sixty of them."
"Is there any Dan pill that could help him survive their siege?"
Lu Yang didn't have much hope, but to his surprise, the Seventh Elder nodded: "In ancient times, there was a legendary Dan pill called the Conception Pill. Junior Nephew Lu, you've even seen its recipe."
"As long as he takes the Conception Pill and gets pregnant, out of humanitarian considerations, they probably wouldn't kill him."
"...This Body Fusion stage cultivator is a man. Is there any other way?"
"He could also pray to keep his corpse intact. After tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, the corpse might develop intelligence, which is akin to resurrection. But that's just a legend; who knows if the resurrected one would still be him."
"Is there a more reliable plan?"
"There is. This Body Fusion stage cultivator must be extremely wicked, with a record of heinous deeds. Report him to the authorities and have him arrested. Although he'd lose his freedom, at least he'd keep his life."
Lu Yang and the eldest senior sister thought this was a good plan.
"Hey, you two are here." Bu Yu Taoist found Lu Yang and the eldest senior sister in the alchemy room and took the opportunity to ask the Seventh Elder for several bottles of top-grade healing Dan pills.
"Just in time to tell you, I'm leaving."
Lu Yang was shocked. He hadn't even made up his mind to betray his master, and now his master was leaving on his own?
"You're not afraid of those people at the gate?"
"Fighting them is out of the question, but I have another plan."
"What plan?"
"I'll have my senior brother leave the Seek Tao Sect and cause a commotion in the neighboring state, making those people think I've left the sect. They'll rush to the neighboring state, and I'll take the opportunity to leave the sect."
Bu Yu Taoist laughed smugly. He had roamed the world for two thousand years; catching him was a pipe dream.
Things went exactly as Bu Yu Taoist planned. The Great Elder, being the eldest of the Nine Sons of the Seek Tao Sect, hadn't done many things to attract hatred. At least, there were no enemies among the marriage proposal teams this time.
The Great Elder went to the neighboring state, impersonating Bu Yu Taoist, and narrated the latest chapter of "Legend of the Seek Tao Sect—Meng Jingzhou's Story," describing how Childe Meng, despite his immense wealth, remained pure and focused solely on cultivation, avoiding women to the extent of cursing himself to not see any females for a long time, earning great admiration.
Upon learning that Bu Yu Taoist was in the neighboring state, and considering his skill in hiding, the marriage proposal teams didn't doubt it and immediately set off for the neighboring state.
Bu Yu Taoist took this opportunity to escape the Seek Tao Sect smoothly.
After his master left, Lu Yang sighed slightly. He had thought of this method too, considering it the safest, but he was unwilling to let his master use it.
He always felt uneasy about letting his master leave the Seek Tao Sect safely.
A few days later, an unexpected person found Lu Yang.
"Senior Brother Lu, can you accompany me on a mission?" Tao Yaoye invited with a cheerful smile.
