Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 164: Dao-Seeking Sect, Show Your Most Outstanding Disciple!

“Dao-Seeking Sect, you are going too far!” Qiu Jin’an bellowed as he flipped the table in a fit of wrath.

As the dishes smashed to the ground, the sizzling sound of the corroding floorboard filled the air, causing people’s eyes to twitch.

All this time, Qiu Jin’an had maintained the image of a refined gentleman who could hold amicable conversations with ordinary people and cultivators alike. In fact, he was genuinely someone like that. However, he felt that the Dao-Seeking Sect was his natural nemesis, capable of provoking his emotions.

In a sense, the Dao-Seeking Sect had extended Qiu Jin’an a supreme treatment that was befitting for the four ancient immortals—after all, only the four ancient immortals were fit to witness Huang Doudou’s culinary skills.

Inside his mental space, Lu Yang felt his scalp tingling. There’s a reason the four ancient immortals didn’t eat your cooking.

When the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was preparing the meals, she had blocked Lu Yang’s vision with the excuse, “This is an ancient secret. I can’t let you learn it.”

At that time, Lu Yang already had a sense of foreboding, and indeed, it had proven true.

This was just the prelude. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy had prepared eight dishes. Lu Yang didn’t dare imagine what other atrocities and monstrosities lay ahead.

But that’s not the biggest issue! The main problem is that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy has been doing all this with my face! Everyone else will think that I’m the culprit!

Her shenanigans of using the acting sect leader’s authority to wantonly challenge those above her level since two days ago have already attracted a wave of hatred toward me, and here’s another wave today.

What sins did I commit to have called out the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s true name and resurrected her?

Lu Yang felt that the karma of reviving an immortal was as heavy as a mountain that he was about to crumble beneath its weight.

The mastermind behind the scenes didn’t want to personally resurrect the Everlasting Immortal Fairy for a reason!

On the other hand, the elders of the Dao-Seeking Sect secretly let out a sigh of relief at Qiu Jin’an’s outburst, transmitting auditory messages among themselves.

“Fortunately, the Dao-Seeking Sect adhered to etiquette and let the Five-Elements eat first. Otherwise, we would have been the unlucky ones instead.”

“Little Lu is so thoughtful. Although he doesn’t bear hostility toward the Five-Elements Sect, once he heard about the enmity between us, he immediately took action and taught Qiu Jin’an a lesson. What a good kid!”

Those from the Five-Elements Sect were similarly lamenting over the matter.

“In the past, I scoffed at the idea of etiquette, finding it outdated. But from the looks of it now, I realize that the ancient people had a point. Elders should eat first.”

“The elders eat first, and if there’s no poison, we can eat. This is the wisdom of the ancients!”

“The sect leader sacrificed himself to test for poison. This is a spirit we should learn from.”

“I have long heard the sect leader mention that the Dao-Seeking Sect’s pills and poisons are exceptional. I have broadened my horizons today.”

“Others add poison to food, while they make food from poison.”

While Qiu Jin’an was eating, Second Elder showed his concern to Shangguan Yu. “Fairy Yu, it’s been a long time since we last met. You’re still as beautiful as ever.”

Shangguan Yu looked at Second Elder calmly. “Little Ba, it’s impossible between us, and neither is it meant to be. You should give up.”

Second Elder got a little anxious. “Is it because there is something wrong with me? I can change!”

Shangguan Yu shook her head wordlessly, simply moving herself a little further away from Second Elder.

Qiu Jin’an decided to discard all attempts at superficial pleasantries. “All of us have already managed to abstain from eating, so there’s no need to partake of this meal. They are all convoluted formalities. Let’s have the disciples compete directly!” He revealed the true purpose of his trip.

First Elder concurred, “That’s how it should be. We plan to divide the contest into four stages: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transfiguration.”

Qiu Jin’an sneered. As I thought, the Dao-Seeking is organizing the contest by cultivation stages. This eliminates the possibility of Yun Zhi competing.

With a wave of his hand, he announced, “I only have one request. Let the best disciples of both sects compete in one decisive battle. How’s that!”

First Elder was a little hesitant, afraid that another classic scene of Yun Zhi one-sidedly crushing the Five-Elements Sect would unfold. “That may not be such a good idea. We have already planned everything. What if you lose terribly? It would be hard to save face then!”

We can’t afford to make Qiu Jin’an so angry that something happens to him. At the very least, we can’t let anything happen to him within the Dao-Seeking Sect.

First Elder’s reaction only further convinced Qiu Jin’an of his speculations. “Face? Cultivators speak with strength. A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. What face is there to speak of?!” Qiu Jin’an waved his hand, beckoning for his eldest disciple behind him to step forward.

“This is my eldest disciple, Lin Shaoyou, also the most outstanding disciple of the Five-Elements Sect. He has a wood-type Single Spirit Root and is at the Basic Fusion Stage. Most wood-type Single Spirit Root cultivators are suited for healing and recovery and not adept at combat, but that's not the case for him!

“Shaoyou has also thoroughly internalized the Five-Elements Sect’s philosophy of the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, where wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. He has successfully cultivated both fire- and metal-type spells, the Six Ding Divine Fire[1] and Berserk Devil Golden Body. On top of that, he also turned them into forbidden spells with immense destructive power!

“Shaoyou has balanced the continuous aura flow of a Wood Spirit Root and mastery of extreme offensive spells. His combat power is far beyond that of a Basic Fusion cultivator. Just a few days ago, he defeated the grand elder of a first-class sect whose cultivation was at the Advanced Fusion Stage!”

Lin Shaoyou’s attire resembled that of a well-read literati. With a pleasant smile and elegant demeanor, he exuded an aura of sheer confidence.

And his qualifications did back him up. Among his peers, he could hardly find a worthy opponent. His sight was already set on the previous generation and even those from two generations ago.

“Is my opponent Dai Bufan or Ji Hongwen?” In his opinion, only the two were qualified to be his opponent.

Last time, he had encountered Yun Zhi, so he didn’t get to unleash his arsenal of techniques. This time, I must showcase all of them and earn glory for Shifu!

“It’s me.” A placid voice tinged with coldness sounded, sending chills down people’s spines.

Yun Zhi stepped forward after keeping silent all this while, causing the hearts of Qiu Jin’an and his eldest disciple to stop beating momentarily.

Qiu Jin’an forced a cold laugh. “Don’t try to scare me. I’ve already heard that Yun Zhi is the acting sect leader and cannot participate in the battle. The most outstanding disciple should be either Dai Bufan or Ji Hongwen!”

Yun Zhi took out an official piece of document with black ink clearly stating that Lu Yang was the acting sect leader for three days. She pointed at Lu Yang and said, “This is the current acting sect leader. I am now just an ordinary disciple of the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy bounced up and down. “That’s right, that’s right! I am the acting sect leader now!”

Qiu Jin’an shouted furiously, “Are you joking with me? How can a Foundation Establishment cultivator be the acting sect leader?!”

First Elder shook his head. “That is not quite right. Sect Leader Lu is a genius among geniuses. Although he is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he can already defeat opponents beyond his level, including those at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transfiguration stages!”

Everyone from the Five-Elements Sect turned their gazes to “Lu Yang” all at once. A Foundation Establishment cultivator defeating a Divine Transfiguration cultivator? That’s still as absurd as a fairy tale even with external help. It’s just impossible. Even myths don’t dare to fabricate such a stothe ry!

Despite Dao-Seeking Sect’s poor reputation, they had never lied, especially about matters like this. Qiu Jin’an’s expression grew grave, not expecting such a terrifying genius from the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Compared to this guy, all the geniuses throughout history paled in comparison!

The Dao-Seeking Sect is truly shrewd. They’ve already anticipated my move and made arrangements beforehand to let Yun Zhi fight.

Qiu Jin’an felt that he was in between a rock and a hard place. I have already talked so big. If we don’t fight, we will lose so much face!

While Qiu Jin’an was in a dilemma, Lin Shaoyou took a step forward, an action that deeply moved Qiu Jin’an. As expected of my eldest disciple. He dares to step forth at such a moment and face the pressure from Yun Zhi directly.

Lin Shaoyou inhaled a deep breath of air and adjusted his breathing and state of mind. Staring straight at Yun Zhi, he spoke in a sonorous voice, “In that case, I shall no longer be a disciple of the Five-Elements Sect!”
