Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 89: It Is Not Recommended for Diabolic Cultivators To Dine at the Barbeque Shop
Chapter 89: It Is Not Recommended for Diabolic Cultivators To Dine at the Barbeque Shop
Meanwhile, Lu Yang was still not aware that Lan Ting had successfully clinched a big business deal. He was currently using the Invisibility Talisman and Concealment Technique to tail the bailiffs and search for the Lifespan-Reversal Talismans.
The trio split up to cover as much ground as possible and locate the Lifespan-Reversal Talismans. They could tell that the authorities took this matter very seriously from how the authorities had mobilized almost all their manpower, as if they were ready to turn Yanjiang Commandery inside out.
The authorities started off by summarizing data on the areas where civilians easily became fatigued or sleepy, then proceeded with their search according to these demarcated zones.
Fang Qingyun even manifested two clones of himself. His real self and two clones spread their spiritual consciousness, leading the troops to search for the talismans.
As Fang Qingyun’s cultivation was too high, the trio didn’t dare to follow him directly.
Soon after, a bailiff found a Lifespan-Reversal Talisman. While hiding in the shadows, Lu Yang silently noted down the location.
When evening came around, Lu Yang reconvened with the other two and took out a map of Yanjiang Commandery with the locations of the Lifespan-Reversal Talisman marked out.
“One at the Big Stone Bridge, one in the rogue shop on Qianman Street, one in the pawn shop... These are the locations of the six Lifespan-Reversal Talismans we have found.
“These inconsequential pieces of information alone can’t let us ascertain if they’re indeed arranged according to the Lifespan-Reversal Array. Let’s take a look again tomorrow.”
Upon returning to the barbeque shop, the three saw Lan Ting assiduously improving the Automatic Barbecue Array while wearing a tofu mask.
The barbeque skewers hovered over the table as it became roasted under the high temperatures.
The two tiger-henchman ghosts knelt on the ground, tears and snot streaming down as they thanked Lan Ting for her great favor in rescuing them from their endless hell of barbecuing.
Question marks appeared above Lu Yang’s head. We were gone for just an afternoon. What exactly happened?
“Where did you get this mask from?”
Lan Ting swelled with pride. “Oh, it’s from the tofu shop lady boss who you saved last night. She even said that she wants to organize a collab event during the period of the Spring Harvest Festival. This is the event plan we drafted after discussion.
“When I was working yesterday, I realized that efficiency is too low with only two tiger-henchman ghosts working. Some customers get impatient from waiting. Hence, I designed this Automatic Barbecue Array to raise the efficiency by a significant margin.
“The Automatic Barbecue Array can be considered an innovation. When I return to the Celestial Palace, I can even use this to exchange for contribution points.
“This array is also simple. Who knows if I can promote it on a greater scale in the future?”
The Moon Laurel Celestial Palace was also similar to the Dao-Seeking Sect in that they had similar long-term missions.
Lu Yang, “...”
It looks like the rapid growth of the barbeque shop is inexorable.
Meng Jingzhou gleefully took a tofu mask. “This tofu mask looks pretty good. Come, one for each person. Lu Yang, look at how well this tofu mask complements you. Both of you are practically identical.”
Lu Yang stared at the square-shaped tofu mask and rolled his eyes as he accepted the mask. I won’t lower myself to the level of an idiot.
Lan Ting continued, “I also set up a Spirit-Energy Gathering Array, Soundproofing Array, and other arrays to aid in cultivation on the second floor.”
This was the only good news Lu Yang had heard ever since he stepped inside the shop. “That’s too expensive. Setting up the array requires many spirit stones right? Calculate how many you’ve used; the three of us will fork out the cost.”
Lan Ting waved her hand. “They’re all just pocket money.”
Meng Jingzhou suddenly raised his head, eyeing Lan Ting warily. It was his first time meeting an opponent in the field of flaunting one’s wealth.
With Lan Ting’s addition, the trio’s life became much more relaxed, and they could focus on searching for the talismans in the day.
Over the next ten days, the trio had managed to pinpoint the locations of more than two hundred talismans, and they were in the same positions as the nodes of the Lifespan-Reversal Array.
After determining the pattern, they went to other node positions and did end up finding more Lifespan-Reversal Talismans.
“What do we do? Should we inform Captain Wei?” Meng Jingzhou asked.
Lu Yang was in a dilemma.
If we tell Captain Wei the positions of the talismans, his superior will definitely know that someone is helping them in secret. Once Branch Leader Chu learns of this, he may suspect that it’s our doing.
But if we don’t tell him and leave the talismans scattered throughout Yanjiang Commandery, they will remain a threat.
“Waiter! Give us two hundred lamb skewers and two hundred beef skewers!” an unrestrained voice bellowed. Even the tiger-henchman ghosts in the backyard could hear it.
Normally, the information in this voice would have scared them out of their wits. However, with the introduction of the Automatic Barbecue Array, their workload had decreased appreciably. Two hundred lamb skewers and two hundred beef skewers? Even if you count in another two hundred pork skewers, we’re not afraid at all!
“Another two hundred pork skewers!” the spirited voice continued to shout. Whoever it was, they sounded wealthy.
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, finding the owner of the voice to be somewhat familiar. “It’s One Zhang Red. He participated in the creed’s selection trials. The two behind him are also at the Foundation Establishment Stage like One Zhang Red is.”
These three people didn’t pass the selection trials.
“Would they recognize us? Man Gu asked. The three of us previously masqueraded as examiners and tricked One Zhang Red.
Lu Yang shook his head. “They won’t. The branch leader had mentioned before that to maintain the confidentiality of the branches, those who didn’t pass will have their memories erased. They no longer remember what transpired at the selection trials.”

With no one serving him for a while, One Zhang Red hollered in a gruff voice, “Where’s everyone? Are all of you deaf?!”
“Coming, I’m here! What do you wish to order, patron?” Lu Yang scampered over.
One Zhang Red's attitude was insufferable. “Two hundred each for the pork, beef, and lamb skewers. As for the rest, you can make the call. I heard from my grandfather that your food is the most delicious here. If it’s not tasty, I’m going to smash your store!”
Clearly, he hadn’t recognized Lu Yang. If he had, he would have directly smashed Lu Yang’s store.
Lu Yang greeted with a smile and bowed. “Please rest assured, our barbeque skewers will be so delicious that you wish you could eat them for your whole life.”
One Zhang Red snorted and didn't bother with Lu Yang. His two companions also closed their eyes and didn't deign to talk to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang transmitted an auditory message to Meng Jingzhou. “Inform Captain Wei that there are three rogue diabolic cultivators who are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. He can gather his men to arrest them.”
These rogue diabolic cultivators kill people like flies. They would have died countless times according to the law. Lu Yang was not going to be benevolent to them.
Let me show you the power of the diabolic path’s method—whistleblowing!
Meng Jingzhou was stunned. “We don't have evidence, right? How can we tell that they are rogue diabolic cultivators and also at the Foundation Establishment Stage? Will Captain Wei believe that?”
Lu Yang smirked. “What's not to believe? Just say that we noticed that he seems to be carrying talismans that cause people to fall asleep.”
Meng Jingzhou got Lu Yang’s cue. They had a few Lifespan-Reversal Talismans in their hands—perfect for framing others.
“Alright, I'll be right back.” Meng Jingzhou sprinted away.
~~~
After Captain Wei heard the news, he was shocked to hear that three Foundation Establishment diabolic cultivators had appeared and that they seemed to have Lifespan-Reversal Talismans in their possession. This is not a small matter!
He hurriedly reported it to Fang Qingyun.
After learning of the news, Fang Qingyun immediately led a huge group to surround and apprehend the three diabolic cultivators. Regardless of whether they possessed Lifespan-Reversal Talismans, three Foundation Establishment diabolic cultivators warranted such a massive operation.
Upon arriving at the barbeque shop, Fang Qingyun released the oppressive aura of a Golden Core cultivator, freezing One Zhang Red and his group in place. With a wave of his hand, he sternly ordered, “Take them down! Frisk them!”
Before One Zhang Red and the gang could register what was happening, several Foundation Establishment constable captains had already tackled them to the ground.
What on earth is going on? Is eating barbeque skewers in Yanjiang Commandery illegal?
Next, Captain Wei found a whopping number of Lifespan-Reversal Talismans on One Zhang Red, far more than the few talismans Lu Yang had planted to frame them with.
“It was indeed you guys who placed those Lifespan-Reversal Talismans!” Fang Qingyun glared at One Zhang Red. It’s all because of him that I didn’t get to rest for days.
Lu Yang, “...”
Meng Jingzhou, “...”
Wow, did you have to be this cooperative?
One Zhang Hong and his companions were even more baffled. Our execution has been flawless without leaving behind any traces. Why did the constables come to arrest us?
What exactly went wrong?!
