Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 119: Let You Witness the Keen Judgment of an Immortal!
Chapter 119: Let You Witness the Keen Judgment of an Immortal!
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was supposed to have had it all planned out. Since Lu Yang was personally trained by Yun Zhi and his constitution and talent would have made him a rare prodigy in ancient times, fighting beyond his level wouldn’t be a difficult matter, so she could take advantage of this opportunity to shine in the arena.

Now, she confirmed that Lu Yang could indeed fight beyond his level in ancient times, but that didn’t imply that he could do so in the Dao-Seeking Sect. What the Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t know was that despite being one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Dao-Seeking Sect’s reputation wasn’t built on their outstanding spells and techniques—unparalleled imagination was their forte.
The Dao-Seeking Sect had stood the test of time for 120,000 years not just because of luck but also their capabilities. During the generation of the Dao-Seeking Nine, the Nine had their respective methods in elevating the sect to greater heights.
One example was Seventh Elder, who managed the Pill Cauldron Peak. When he was young, he had the experience of a hundred attempts at breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, paving a solid foundation for future disciples, including Lu Yang. At the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Stage, Seventh Elder proposed that the world didn’t stipulate that a person could only have one golden core, so why not have two or even three golden cores?
He began deducing the configurations for two and three golden cores. Two golden cores were still manageable; both of them would attract and rotate around each other with a discernible pattern. However, when it came to three golden cores, Seventh Elder began to struggle; their rotation patterns were as unpredictable as a fog of primordial chaos.
Through sheer tenacity, Seventh Elder listed out eighteen equations of the Heavenly Element Math Technique (Tianyuan-Shu)[1] formula and borrowed his master’s spiritual consciousness to calculate the results. However, the computations required for the rotation of three golden cores were enormous, and since three golden cores were beyond what a Golden Core cultivator could bear, the idea of three golden cores was abandoned.
Although it ended in failure, the new calculation methods derived from the process of solving the problem were of immense help to Seventh Elder. After generations of research at the Dao-Seeking Sect, they already had a profound understanding of forming a golden core. Standing on the shoulders of giants, one could easily form a high-grade golden core by following the procedures.
Any random disciple of the Dao-Seeking Sect could be considered a prodigy in the outside world. Although they couldn’t guarantee that they would be unmatched among their peers, defeating 99% of those at the same level wouldn’t be a problem.
Inside the mental space, Lu Yang was silently watching the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.
I understand all the reasons, but why am I the one embarrassed when the useless one is the Everlasting Immortal Fairy?
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy had failed miserably even before getting started, like how one died before sending the troops out.
“Return my body to me!” Lu Yang regretted letting the Everlasting Immortal Fairy control his body.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy decided to educate her junior, “Youngster, cultivation is not only about violence. Does strength represent everything? Of course not! Cultivation embodies knowledge and is a test of one’s judgment. There are many good things in this marketplace of the Dao-Seeking Sect. Let me demonstrate to you what the judgment of an ancient immortal is like!”
Lu Yang decided to trust her one more time.
“Come take a look! Liuli-Glazed Blue-And-White Vase, retrieved from ancient cave ruins, a rare magical treasure!”
“Crouching Dragon[2] Jade Pillow! It lets you cultivate in your dreamscape. A specialty from the southern regions, definitely good stuff!”
“Minor Circulation Pill! Ten contribution points for one, buy three get one free! The more you buy, the more you get! Buy a hundred pills, and we’ll throw in the pill formula for free!”
“Person for rent, I am available for rent! A Golden Core cultivator that can accompany you outside for missions, is able to endure hardships, and willing to do work. One hundred and twenty points per day!”
The Dao-Seeking Sect’s marketplace had everything that one might possibly need, ranging from cave treasures to people on sale.
Controlling Lu Yang’s body, the Everlasting Immortal squatted down, and as she did so, she reflexively swept her hand behind her rear, but that was when she realized that Lu Yang was not wearing a dress.
Lu Yang grumbled to himself, Seriously? I’m a man. Why would I be wearing a dress?
“How much is this Liuli-Glazed Blue-And-White Vase?” The vase had attracted the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s attention. Inside was a withered flower, its species indistinguishable, and it was unclear how long it had been dead.
“888 contribution points.”
“So expensive?!”
“Junior Brother, don’t be put off by the price. This Liuli-Glazed Blue-And-White Vase was a treasure I found in a cave belonging to a Divine Transfiguration cultivator. Look at the exquisite craftsmanship, look at its sturdy material, it’s a great bargain.”
“Apart from it being sturdy, are there other strengths? It can’t be that the magical treasure’s strength is only its sturdiness?”
The male disciple was a bit embarrassed. This vase had been in his possession for a long time, and he never found a use for it, so the only selling point he could promote was its sturdiness.
“One hundred contribution points. I’ll buy it back as a decoration.”
“Junior Brother, you’ve slashed the price too much. Seven hundred, it can’t go any lower.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy turned her head and walked away.
“Wait, don’t be in a hurry to leave! Four hundred! That’s the lowest I can go!”
“Two hundred.”
The male disciple gritted his teeth. This vase has been on display for a very long time, and no one has shown interest in it. It’s not easy to have a potential buyer. I mustn’t let this opportunity slip away!
“Deal!”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy bragged to Lu Yang, “Did you see that? That’s my keen sense of judgment!”
Lu Yang was curious. “Does this vase hold some kind of secret?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shook her head in a cryptic manner. “The only characteristic of this vase is its toughness, but the secret doesn’t lie in the vase but this withered flower! There’s a cultivation technique hidden in this flower. Let me analyze it for you!”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy moved to a corner of the marketplace and began softly chanting what sounded like an ancient scripture. As the words left her lips, the withered flower began to revive, turning into a bud ready to bloom. When the flower was in full bloom, a stream of characters floated out from the flower.
Her expression appeared to imply that everything had gone according to her expectations. She diligently translated and soon attained the results.
“This is Liuli-Glazed Bone Art, a cultivation technique that can be practiced until the Void Refinement Stage. It is divided into three stages, Non-Transmuted Bone, Vajra Bone, and Liuli-Glazed Bone. However, this is an incomplete version, and it only contains the Non-Transmuted Bone stage, which is the part from the Qi Training to the Golden Core stages. If we ever get a chance to enter an ancient ruin, we might even find the second half of the cultivation technique!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was feeling smug. This is an incomplete version of a Divine Transfiguration cultivation technique. If this were in ancient times, it could have easily wiped out middle- or small-sized tribes. Countless people would have fought tooth and nail to cultivate it.
Lu Yang fell silent for a bit, then quietly recited a passage.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was astounded. This is the final section of the Liuli-Glazed Bone Transmutation Art!
“I haven’t even translated it for you. How did you know that? You can understand the meaning of these characters?”
Lu Yang sighed and explained, “The Dao-Seeking Sect had retrieved the complete version of the cultivation technique from ancient ruins a long time ago. I read this as a reference when I was delving into cultivation techniques.
“Big Senior Sister even fixed a few flaws and extended it. She deduced that what comes after the Liuli-Glazed Bone stage is the Imperishable Bone, so now, the Liuli-Glazed Bone Transmutation Art can be cultivated all the way until the Apex Fusion Stage.
“If you are interested, I can take you to see it. It’s right on the first floor of the scripture library. It’s free of charge, so you can read it whenever you want.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy, “...”
Why did your sect place such a precious cultivation technique on the first floor of the scripture library?
Lu Yang also had a question. Can I get my two hundred contribution points refunded?
