Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 520: The elusive maid

The rules were broken, and the maid's momentum sharply declined. Lu Yang seized the opportunity and struck first.

"Slash Technique!"

With the enlightenment from Bu Yu Taoist, Lu Yang's understanding of swordsmanship had reached a new level. The power of his Slash Technique was no longer the same as before.

The maid was split in two, letting out a miserable scream, and turned into two streams of ink, retreating back into the painting.

Inside the painting, the maid's expression was filled with resentment as she glared at Lu Yang, but she didn't dare to show herself again and could only hide within the painting.

She had the intention to kill, but after the recent battle, she knew that not to mention fighting three people, even fighting Lu Yang alone was difficult.

"Cultivator, I admit you are stronger than me. This time, you win!"

After saying this, the painting floated up, attempting to escape at high speed.

"Trying to run?"

The painting flew quickly, but Lu Yang's sword was even faster. He once again used the Slash Technique, striking down the painting, which fell from the air but remained undamaged.

Lu Yang clicked his tongue. The quality of the painting was higher than he had estimated; with his current level, he couldn't cut it.

"Cultivator, you are indeed strong, but don't push things too far. Let me go now, and I promise not to come back or harm Song Yuanwai again. But if you keep stopping me, can you protect the Song family forever?"

Lu Yang sneered, poking the painting with his sword tip, unmoved: "Don't think I don't know. Artifacts like you have their own rules. You helped Song Yuanwai achieve his goal, so you must get your reward. If you don't, at best, your foundation will be shaken; at worst, your consciousness will be erased!"

The maid fell silent, not expecting her rules to be seen through so quickly by Lu Yang, but she couldn't admit it: "Nonsense!"

Lu Yang couldn't be bothered to argue with the maid. Regardless of what she said, he had to take the painting to ensure Song Yuanwai's safety.

Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting chose to trust Lu Yang's judgment. Tao Yaoye stepped forward and used her identity jade token to collect the painting.

But the painting quickly flew out of the jade token.

"Do you think you can trap me with this?" The maid sneered. Although she was an ownerless artifact and could be collected by any storage ring, she could control the painting to escape from the storage ring at any time. No one could catch her.

Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting tried twice with the identity jade token, but each time the painting managed to escape.

The two women looked serious. If they couldn't take the painting now, it would surely retaliate against Song Yuanwai's family once they left.

"Let me try."

Lu Yang took the painting. At first, the maid didn't care, but the suction from Lu Yang's palm made her expression change drastically.

Lu Yang used the Palm Village technique to suck the painting into his palm.

"Did it work? Senior Brother Lu, what technique is this?" The two women were surprised, having never seen this move before.

"A spatial divine ability, Sleeve Within the Cosmos," Lu Yang said calmly.

"Don't think you can trap me just because you know a spatial divine ability!" The maid's voice came from Lu Yang's palm as she escaped again.

Lu Yang scratched his chin and used the Palm Village technique again, sucking the maid back in, then clasped his hands together.

The maid, trapped in Lu Yang's palm, thought it was just a repeat of the same trick. She controlled the painting to fly from the left palm to the right palm and back again, unable to find an exit.

"Strange, where's the exit?"

Fortunately, she wasn't new to having consciousness and had seen many cultivators and spatial divine abilities. The biggest problem with such abilities was the rapid consumption of spiritual power, making it impossible to maintain them for long. With Lu Yang's cultivation, he could only sustain it for three to five minutes.

"Senior Brother, is it successful this time?" Tao Yaoye curiously looked at Lu Yang, who had his hands clasped together, thinking he looked more and more like a monk.

"Not yet. Using Sleeve Within the Cosmos consumes a lot of spiritual energy; I can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour."

"What should we do then?" Song Yuanwai was anxious, knowing the maid would definitely seek revenge on his family if she escaped.

He had once secretly admired the maid.

"No problem. Eating a Great Return Pill can extend the time I can use the divine ability. One hour is no problem."

"But an hour isn't enough to get back to the sect," Lan Ting was also worried, starting to think of solutions.

Lu Yang shook his head: "I've already thought of a way."

...

"Sir, are you sure you want to sell a painting-type artifact with a spirit?" The steward of the Falling Money Commerce Association asked politely, his eyes gleaming.

Artifacts with spirits could fetch astronomical prices.

But the guest's appearance was a bit strange, with his hands clasped together, and two female cultivators beside him acting like protectors, occasionally feeding him a pill.

Was this some kind of joyful Zen cultivator?

There was no other way. Lu Yang couldn't free his hands to take the pills, so he had to ask his two junior sisters to help.

Originally, Song Yuanwai had volunteered for the task, but he was scared off by the looks from Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting.

"Taoist Lu, are you sure this will work?" Song Yuanwai asked quietly, still a bit uneasy.

Yuanhe County was relatively remote with a bad reputation, and it wasn't uncommon for wonton stalls to overcharge customers. The Falling Money Commerce Association didn't have a branch in Yuanhe County.

So, Lu Yang and his group came to Qingshui Prefecture.

"Of course."

"What if the painting runs back to my house?"

"Then you profit, you can sell it again."

"That makes sense."

Song Yuanwai still felt something was off.

Lu Yang couldn't trap the maid for long, but he didn't believe the commerce association couldn't either.

If they couldn't even trap an artifact, what would happen to their reputation?

Upon hearing that an artifact with a spirit was for sale, the commerce association immediately called in their oldest appraiser to verify its authenticity.

"My artifact runs fast," Lu Yang reminded.

The branch president laughed and pointed to the room: "This room is surrounded by twelve types of formations. I'd like to see what kind of artifact can escape!"

Lu Yang spread his hands, and the maid, driving the painting, shot out from his palm.

Bang!

She crashed into the wall and fell to the ground.

The elderly appraiser picked up the painting and used a secret technique, causing miniature formations to appear before his eyes, analyzing the painting's structure.

Stroking his white beard, the appraiser smiled with interest: "Interesting, made from materials at the Nascent Soul level. However, the maker's skill was lacking, not fully utilizing the materials. Even so, this artifact has developed a spirit, which is rare, not to mention it contains rules."

"Three million spirit stones, how about it?" The appraiser offered with a smile.

Lu Yang thought for a moment, took off the identity jade token from his waist, and handed it to the appraiser: "I'm from the Seek Tao Sect."

"Five million spirit stones."

The appraiser immediately changed his offer.

Lu Yang continued: "I'm Lu Yang. My brother is Meng Jingzhou, the eldest son of the Meng family. These two junior sisters behind me, one is from the Seek Tao Sect like me, and the other is from the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace."

"Six million spirit stones."

The branch president raised the offer on the spot.

Worried that Lu Yang might continue speaking, he quickly added: "We really can't offer more. We need to make some profit too."

As the largest commerce association on the continent, the Falling Money Commerce Association also had instances of underpricing.

Lu Yang didn't know the market value, but he could leverage his identity to prevent them from underpricing.

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
