Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Because of the distinct way Fairy Eternity cooked, she held high standards for both food and utensils.

Chopsticks, eating bowls, tablecloths… were all nearly indestructible despite countless trials, having passed the test of time and reality, making them incredibly valuable.

These utensils inevitably carried the aura of the five immortals.

“This indirectly shows how unrivaled we Five Ancients are. Simply by sitting, items around us absorb our aura, which doesn’t dissipate even after three hundred thousand years!” Fairy Eternity boasted and eagerly praised herself.

Or perhaps she was just in good mood seeing the old items.

Lu Yang: “…”

However, upon thinking, it’s quite okay, getting an immortal’s item for four thousand Spirit Stones—is indeed a bargain.

Plus, the cloth cannot be damaged, an absolute treasure.

“Such a pity, you can’t use this cloth.” Fairy Eternity regretfully announced, leaving Lu Yang dumbfounded.

“Why?”

“This tablecloth was once refined by me. Even though I died once, the fact that it’s refined will not disappear, hence only I can use this tablecloth.”

“So, I’ve spent four thousand Spirit Stones and had Junior Sister Tao bid for it, just to buy a tablecloth for you?”

Fairy Eternity sincerely said, “Second-in-command, I will remember your kindness.”

In reality, once Tao Yaoye saw Lu Yang procuring the red satin, she saw his expressions changing from elation to disappointment, filled with hope and then hope crushing, the changes were quite dynamic.

“Senior Brother Lu, what’s wrong?”

Lu Yang sighed, “Nothing much, I just feel like a complete fool.”

While speaking, he wanted to put the tablecloth in his identity jade pendant.

Failed.

“Fairy, could you please put your tablecloth into my jade pendant?”

“Oh.”

The tablecloth belonged to Fairy Eternity and couldn’t be directly placed into the identity jade pendant.

After the waiter gave Meng Jingzhou the Spirit Stones for auctioning the Twin Lotus, he handed over three Talismans packed in jade boxes.

Three Divinity Transformation Level Directional Teleportation Talisman, capable to escape from a Divinity Transformation Stage great demon attack, or send the Divinity Transformation Stage great demon to Demon Suppressing Pass, which can be used in multiple ways.

“Let’s go. It’s time for the training in the enchanted forest.” Lu Yang called others.

The four did not forget their purpose for coming to the forest and went directly from the auction to the forest.

This time, the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain did not accompany them.

Lu Yang and the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain had discussed that most of the Golden Core, Early-Mid Stage, and Demon Beasts they encountered in the outskirts of the forest posed no challenge to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

To achieve the real purpose of training, they needed to delve deeper into the forest where the Golden Core Late Stage Demon Beasts gathered.

Due to this, the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain, who had insufficient Cultivation Levels, couldn’t guarantee their safety. As they were active mostly in the outskirts, their knowledge about the deeper parts of the forest was not much, thus their role was insignificant.

“Senior Brother Lu, would fighting Golden Core Late-Stage Demon Beasts rashly be too hasty? Should we not start from the Foundation Establishment late-stage?” Tao Yaoye was somewhat concerned.

She and Man Gu had just reached the Foundation Establishment Late-Stage, and should solidify their basis, starting by fighting those at their own level.

Tao Yaoye’s opponents had either been Lu Yang or the strongest Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from the Five Elements Sect, she has not won any match yet.

Furthermore, as an owner of Feather Transformation Immortal Body, she was supposed to have superior talent than Single Spiritual Root, yet she only ranked third in her batch, making her lack confidence in her combat skills.

Lu Yang smiled, “Junior Sister Tao, have some self-confidence. Not many in the Foundation Establishment Stage can beat you, a contemporary genius. Challenging higher stages isn’t as tough as you imagine.”

“Don’t say that you are up against Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beasts, even if you face Golden Core Early-Mid Stage, you are sure to win, and in this way, you won’t achieve true training experience.”

Man Gu had a sudden realization, “I thought Brother Lu was worried about running into those opponents who had their heads shaved by him and causing lots of trouble, hence wanted to go deeper into the forest. I was thinking too superficially!”

Lu Yang: “…”

Stop saying the harsh truth.

Now, the forest periphery has been filled with Lu Yang’s enemies, as long as Lu Yang shows his face, it could cause countless people to chase and kill.

“By the way, Junior Sister Tao, can you create an illusion?”

“What kind of illusion?”

Lu Yang, slightly embarrassed, touched his barely growing hair, , “Like, we think our hair is still as it used to be kind of illusion.”

Meng Jingzhou was also nodding.

Tao Yaoye: “… okay.”

With a slight application of magic, she allowed the four to enter an illusionary realm where the only difference with reality was that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou grew a great deal of hair.

“I will first find a late-stage Golden Core Demon Beast for Junior Sister to practice on,” said Lu Yang. Then, in the spiritual space, he asked Fairy Eternity to expand her divine consciousness to find the nearest late-stage Golden Core Demon Beast.

“Fairy, please help.”

“I can help, but first, I want to activate the barbarian bloodline of this young member of the Barbarian tribe,” Fairy Eternity rarely saw her own masterpiece and wanted to lend a hand.

The barbarians lack detailed records of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, otherwise, Man Gu wouldn’t be unaware of Fairy Eternity’s existence.

At the same time, Man Gu didn’t know how to activate the bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe and he was currently in the exploration phase.

The ancient barbarians of the past would gradually activate their bloodline as their cultivation level increased, but this process was very slow.

With the help of Fairy Eternity, the process to activate the bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe would be greatly shortened.

“Once he activates the bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, this little barbarian will have a dominant advantage when facing Demon Beasts, which will be very helpful to you!”

After some thought, Lu Yang agreed that this made sense.

“Man Gu, I’m going to tell you now how to activate your Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline. Prepare yourself.”

Although Man Gu did not understand how Brother Lu knew how to activate his bloodline, he trusted that Brother Lu would not deceive him.

“Alright, I am ready.”

In the spiritual space, Fairy Eternity uttered a sentence, and in reality, Lu Yang repeated it to Man Gu.

“The Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline originates from Fairy Eternity. It’s a blessing from the Immortals. You need to spread your arms wide and shout ‘Long live Fairy Eternity’, three times. Your body will start to become warm, which is an early sign that your bloodline is awakening.”

Upon hearing this, Man Gu was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that they, the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, had originated from Fairy Eternity.

“Next, you have to sing praises of Fairy Eternity’s status, call her the supreme being, the leader among the Five Immortals, incomparable and irreplaceable.”

“Repeat this three times.”

“Have you remembered it all?” Lu Yang understood that the awakening ceremony essentially involved flattery of Fairy Eternity.

“Err… what was the first sentence… ‘May Fairy Eternity perish forever?\'”

“No, it’s ‘Long live Fairy Eternity!\'”

Man Gu opened his arms wide, facing the sky, and shouted loudly:

“Long live Fairy Eternity!”

“Long live Fairy Eternity!”

“Long live Fairy Eternity!”

The earnest outcry startled the birds in the trees into flight.

As the awakening ceremony progressed step by step, Man Gu felt a surge of heat within his body, as if it was on fire.

His skin turned bright red, he grimaced in pain, sweat the size of soybeans trickled down his forehead, and his body felt like it was on the verge of bursting.

“Huff — huff –” Gradually, Man Gu’s bloodline returned to normal and the excruciating pain slowly vanished.

“How do you feel?”

“I feel filled with strength!”

“Then…”

Before Lu Yang could finish saying “okay”, the sounds of beasts running could be heard from not far away.

The sound didn’t come from a single spot either – it echoed from all around, all targeting their location.

Boom–

The trees fell down, revealing a scale-armored beast with red eyes, staring fiercely at Man Gu.

Boom–

Behind them, another beast appeared, fixing its gaze on Man Gu, as if he was its sworn enemy.

One after another, Golden Core Stage Beasts appeared, encircling the four of them.

The beasts’ only target was Man Gu.

“Senior Brother, is this the single late-stage Golden Core Beast you were talking about for me to practice on?” Tao Yaoye asked in a low voice, having never seen such a large setup.

“Fairy, what’s happening?!” Lu Yang realized there was an issue with Man Gu’s Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s bloodline.

“Hmmm, it seems the activation of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s bloodline wasn’t complete. Rather than suppressing the beasts, it has enraged them… But don’t worry, everything is within my expectations!”

“Fairy, look me in the eyes and say that again.”

Fairy Eternity guiltily averted her gaze: “It’s an Immortal’s trial.”
