Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 248: Immortal Fairy, Please Stop Sharing So Many Ancient Tales, I’m Afraid I Won’t Live Long Enough

Chapter 248: Immortal Fairy, Please Stop Sharing So Many Ancient Tales, I’m Afraid I Won’t Live Long Enough

“You can use Targeted Teleportation Talismans like that?!” The Eagle Mountain Five Heroes were stupefied to see the Silver-Ringed Monarch Earthworm forcibly teleported away.

What left the deepest impression was the hopeless look in the earthworm’s eyes.

The great Nascent Soul demon’s fate was evident.

Due to the rules established in the Demon Suppression Pass, any demons below the Fusion Stage that got close to the city would die. A Nascent Soul demon might sound formidable, but when confronted with a truly colossal entity such as the Demon Suppression Pass, only death awaited.

“Ah? Isn’t this the proper way to use it?” Lu Yang was taken aback. He had thought only demon beasts were slow-witted and couldn’t come up with such a usage method. The Eagle Mountain Five Heroes are fellow humans, yet they also can’t think of this idea?

Look at Meng Jingzhou—he figured it out in an instant.

“Are there really so many Golden Core and Nascent Soul demon beasts in the jungle? Lu Yang thought back about their encounters in the past few days. Not counting the ones that intentionally came seeking them at their doorstep, the group had met quite a few demon beasts that were criminals on the run, all of them at the Golden Core Stage.

Tonight was crazier; even a Nascent Soul demon beast came looking for us. Fortunately, Meng Jingzhou had the Targeted Teleportation Talisman and sent the Silver-Ringed Monarch Earthworm back to the Demon Suppression Pass; otherwise, the last resort would have been Big Senior Sister Animal Form Fist.

The hook-nosed boss shook his head. “How is that possible? Be it humans or demons, most of those who wander this jungle are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If things were like now, constantly getting ambushed by Golden Core demon beasts, no one would dare come here anymore.”

Lu Yang thought about it and agreed. Those demon beasts were unlucky to have bumped into us. Had it been any other Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would have been dead by now.

The hook-nosed boss analyzed, “It’s probably because you two young heroes have killed too many demon beasts, and the scent attracted the attention of other demon beasts.” The five of us are at the Advanced Foundation Establishment Stage, and we struggle to fight demon beasts at the same level, yet here are these two young heroes, slaying Basic and Intermediate Golden Core demon beasts as effortlessly as chopping vegetables.

So this is disparity.

“I propose we wait until the city gate opens tomorrow morning to return to the city. We’ll rest well, change our clothes, and wash off the scent,” the hook-nosed boss suggested.

Lu Yang nodded. That makes sense. Over the past few days, the seven of us have been on edge. If we weren’t fighting, we were on our way to fight. That’s too much mental strain.

Since my mental strength is far superior to those at the same level, it shouldn’t have depleted so quickly. Meng Jingzhou and the Eagle Mountain Five Heroes may feel exhausted, but I shouldn’t be.

But what can I do? I have the Everlasting Immortal Fairy always stirring up chaos. I need to spare part of my mental strength to deal with her and listen to her ramblings about ancient tales.

Ancient tales included, but were not limited to the following:

The jealousy and rivalry for affection between the prodigies of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes.

The Qilin Immortal fled to a foreign land when a fire broke out in his harem, earning him the nickname “Fire Qilin.”

The Heaven Mandate Immortal urged everyone to hold back from taking action to elevate the prestige of immortals.

The Epoch Immortal felt that time dragged on like years while eating the food prepared by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Comprehending the theory of relativity, he strongly supported having the Everlasting Immortal Fairy also cook for the other three immortals.

The Nine-Layers Immortal published an academic paper proving himself to be the first immortal and managed archaeological excavation projects to prove his legitimacy.

To be honest, these were all wondrous ancient tales related to immortals and worth a great deal; they could fetch a sky-high price at an auction. If the old pedants studying ancient history heard these stories, they would likely be so excited they couldn’t sleep. The amount of information contained within was vast enough to overturn people’s impression of the ancient era.

However, when it came to Lu Yang, he was deeply worried that one day, he would wake up to find the four ancient immortals standing beside him, looking down at him with a malevolent smile and telling him, “You know too much. Time to die.”

I have no Everlasting Dao Fruit to save me.

To look on the bright side, by the time Big Senior Sister arrives, she may be able to collect my corpse.

Lu Yang expressed his concerns to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, but she remained her simple-minded and devil-may-care self. “Aiya, the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others are good people. They are easy to talk to and won’t treat you like that. Look at me, even though I know so many things, am I not alive and doing just fine?”

Lu Yang silently looked at the soul state of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, wanting to remind her that she had been dead for over three hundred thousand years and had only been resurrected two months ago.

After all the fights these few days, both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s combat experience had improved significantly, and they had also become more proficient in delivering deadly blows. Their cultivation was also steadily rising. Consolidating their Advanced Foundation Establishment cultivation, they were slowly advancing toward the Golden Core Stage.

“Why does it feel like you have more combat experience than me?” Meng Jingzhou was nonplussed, believing it wasn’t an illusion.

Lu Yang replied expressionlessly, “If you get beaten up by our senior brothers and sisters from night until morning, your combat experience will also increase.” I still remember that when I was getting thrashed, this grandson was clapping and cheering beneath the stage.

Meng Jingzhou mused, “There’s such an effect?” I’ve never been weaker than others in my life; I can’t lose to Lu Yang in combat experience.

Their supposed rest night was not a peaceful one. Another Golden Core demon beast attempted an ambush and was punched to death by Meng Jingzhou, who was on night watch.

It was a rabbit the size of a domestic pig, with two large incisors about three to four inches long and two eyes as red as rubies.

“Do we really attract this much hatred? Can’t even get a good rest at night!” Meng Jingzhou furiously kicked the rabbit demon. He was distracted for a moment during the fight earlier, and the rabbit took the chance to bite his hair. Fortunately, I had long tempered my whole body, including my hair, and saved myself from catastrophe.

The Eagle Mountain Five Heroes couldn’t offer an explanation either. They had limited experience and had never seen anyone kill demon beasts so ruthlessly. “It really shouldn’t be the case. Logically speaking, this area is on the outskirts of the jungle, so there won’t be so many Golden Core demon beasts. It’s not worth it for them to come here.”

“Never mind, let’s discuss this after we get back.” Lu Yang asked everyone to head back and rest at the Demon Suppression Pass.

~~~

When the group returned to the Demon Suppression Pass, they overheard the people chattering at the city gate.

“Have you heard? Last night, a great Nascent Soul demon tried to ambush the Demon Suppression Pass under the cover of the night and was slapped to death by a Divine Transfiguration expert on night duty.”

“Is that for real? Did the demon beast have too much to drink? It was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, yet it dared attempt an ambush?” His companion was astonished.

The Demon Suppression Pass was one of the six major cities guarding the border with the Demon Region. Unless several Fusion cultivators joined hands, one shouldn’t dream of breaking through this fortress.

However, there were precedents for this. A few great demons had gotten drunk and run to the Demon Suppression Pass to train their courage. The lucky ones were driven away, while the unlucky ones ended up in the pot the next day for the whole city to feast on.

“Of course, it’s true. Haven’t you noticed there are more guards at the city gates today? The higher-ups suspect that the demons are planning something big, which is why they sent cannon fodder to test our defenses!”

“Is another fight going to break out again?”

“That’s unlikely. They’re probably just testing the waters. There’s also another unreliable rumor.”

“What is it?”

“They say the demon beast was sent here by someone using a Targeted Teleportation Talisman?”

“That can’t be real, right? How can Targeted Teleportation Talismans be used like that?”

“That’s why I said it’s an unreliable rumor.”

“So are we getting a good meal today?” The Demon Suppression Pass often distributed demon beast meat killed at the city gates to everyone.

“I doubt it’s enough.”

“Why’s that?”

“It was an earthworm demon that died. How are you going to eat that?”

Inside Lu Yang’s mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was surprised. “Hey, you guys here don’t eat earthworms?”

“...Immortal Fairy, do you want to listen to what you’re saying?”
