Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Lan Ting had deep doubts about her teaching ability. She’d heard that Lu Yang entered the Seek Dao Sect with the highest rank, and his talent for magic skills is undoubtedly top-notch.

For instance, his previous display of Imitation Fist was proof of this. It was a magical talent that transformed the mundane into something extraordinary. Why did he turn out like this under her instruction?

Did she teach him wrongly?

That shouldn’t be the case. Senior Sister taught her this way, and she taught Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu in the same way, and there was no issue.

Could it be that she had underestimated Lu Yang’s magic skill talent? Was a special teaching method needed for this kind of genius who surpasses the ordinary?

While doubting herself, she also felt guilty.

Lu Yang was diligently studying his talisman, completely oblivious to the fact that a talisman genius was falling into self-doubt because she couldn’t teach him: “Do you think there’s a talisman that can make other talismans invisible? Then my Invisibility Talisman would disappear.”

Meng Jingzhou pondered for a moment before saying: “It’s hard for me to imagine why someone would study such a talisman that you mentioned.”

Feeling dejected, Lu Yang dressed up and continued practicing the Invisibility Talisman, but the result was the same as before. What should have turned invisible did, and what shouldn’t have remained visible.

On the other hand, Man Gu’s drawing was becoming better over time, which gave Lan Ting a sense of achievement.

Meng Jingzhou mockingly laughed at Lu Yang: “Ha ha, give it up, you can’t possibly draw a proper Invisibility Talisman.”

Enraged, Lu Yang gripped the Invisibility Talisman between his fingers and slapped it onto Meng Jingzhou’s forehead: “Heh, demon, take this!”

Meng Jingzhou’s body disappeared, leaving only his clothes.

Not wanting to appear weak, he too took out an Invisibility Talisman and hit Lu Yang with it: “Daoist, don’t think you’re the only one who can draw talismans!”

An Invisibility Talisman was also slapped onto Lu Yang’s forehead, making him and his clothes completely disappear.

The two were attacking each other using the Invisibility Talismans, a playful exchange that was totally harmless.

Man Gu was sandwiched between the two, focusing on his talisman drawings, not at all disturbed by their antics.

“It’s done.” Man Gu lifted up a pile of successfully drawn Invisibility Talismans contentedly. After continuous practice, his success rate in drawing Invisibility Talismans was almost perfect.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu successfully learned it on their own.

Lu Yang successfully learned it with the Invisibility Talisman drawn by Lan Ting.

“Oh, right, Lan Ting, do you know how to prepare the Reverse Life Array?” Lu Yang asked. He was considering whether the hidden person was truly preparing the Reverse Life Array using the Reverse Life Talisman and had not completed it.

If that really was the case, after finding a dozen or so Reverse Life Talismans, according to the position of the Reverse Life Talismans, it would be easy to calculate the positions of other talismans.

Lan Ting nodded, then used her own spiritual essence as a line, sketching out an extremely detailed Array Method in the air with thousands of nodes: “The Reverse Life Array is large in scale and has many nodes. If there are only a few hidden people, considering they need to paste the talismans in hidden locations, they can’t finish setting it up in a short time.”

“Got it. In that case, could you watch the shop? The three of us will go out for a bit and see if we can provide some help,” said Lu Yang.

“Eh? Me, watching the shop?” Lan Ting was a bit insecure. At the Laurel Fairy Palace, she always followed her Senior Sister’s arrangements and didn’t have much decision-making power. Now she had to manage such a large shop alone, she was quite apprehensive.

“It’s okay, nothing will happen. If anything comes up, just make a decision yourself.” Lu Yang didn’t think there was any issue and left soon after speaking.

After Lu Yang and the others left, Lan Ting felt uneasy thinking about temporarily taking over such a large shop.

“Let me set up a Gathering Spirit Array,” said Lan Ting to herself, finding something to occupy herself.

The Gathering Spirit Array is a basic array method for cultivation. She noticed that there wasn’t a Gathering Spirit Array in the grill shop and had no idea how Lu Yang and the others practiced their cultivations.

“Since everyone lives on the second floor, I’ll set it up there.”

The Gathering Spirit Array is the most basic array method, and Lan Ting set it up deftly. She took out a Spirit Stone from her Identity Jade and arranged it step by step according to what she learned during the class.

“Let’s set up a Calming Array as well, which allows one to quickly enter a state of cultivation.”

“And a Soundproof Array, to make it quieter.”

Lan Ting was meticulous in her work. Considering the effectiveness of the Gathering Spirit Array might attract the attention of other cultivators, she also set up an array method to isolate the ripples of spiritual energy.

“This way, it should be foolproof.” Lan Ting was satisfied with her carefulness.

“Hello, is anyone here?” A voice came from downstairs, startling Lan Ting. It sounded like a woman.

Lan Ting went downstairs and saw a fair-skinned woman standing at the door, hesitating about whether to step in.

“Hello, may I ask if you are…”

“I run a tofu shop on Front Street. My name is Wen Xiangyu. Is Mr. Little Lu around?” Wen Xiangyu’s voice was gentle, making people feel a bit tingly.

“He went out. Is there something you need?” Lan Ting recalled that Lu Yang had mentioned her briefly when explaining how to find the Reverse Life Talisman.

“Well, with the Spring Festival approaching, I was thinking of co-hosting an event with your grill shop.”

Lan Ting invited Wen Xiangyu in and served her tea: “What kind of event?”

“Not to boast, but my tofu shop has many customers on normal days, and during the Spring Festival, there are even more.”

“I was thinking, could we have an event where those who buy tofu from my shop can get a 10% discount at your grill shop, and vice versa?”

“We can also have a lucky draw and masks and stuff.”

“Masks?”

Wen Xiangyu took out a few masks. The masks were square and looked white and tender, just like a piece of tofu.

“These are masks made based on the mascot of my tofu shop, and they sell really well.”

Lan Ting thought it over and felt that Wen Xiangyu’s suggestions were good. They would be beneficial for the grill shop’s business, especially considering that Lu Yang had said it would be up to her to take decisions while he was away. So, she agreed to the proposal.

Seeing that Lan Ting agreed to her proposal, Wen Xiangyu was very happy. The two women started discussing various details about the event, from the rewards of the lucky draw to the theory of gravity.

“There’s an invisible force that attracts everything in the world. Lu Yang agrees with my views and has named this force gravity…”

“But while Lu Yang believes this invisible force is naturally occurring, 1 believe someone has set up a huge array method to attract us.”

“Alt, right, you’re unfamiliar with array methods. Let me tell you, array methods are very interesting. This book ‘True Understanding of Array Methods’ explains array methods in a simple and understandable way…”

When Wen Xiangyu came, she was grateful to Lu Yang, but when she left, her mind was full of the principles of array methods.

After seeing off Wen Xiangyu, Lan Ting noticed the Ghoul skewering in the corner, and a thought popped into her head.

Lu Yang’s thoughts were unpredictable, and to teach him well, did she need to adopt his way of thinking?

For instance, could she design an automatic grilling array method based on the Suspension Formation, Gathering Fire Array, and other array methods?

Eh, that seems like a really good idea..
