Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 126: Qingfeng Sword’s Small Accessory

Ever since the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had been resurrected, she had suffered consecutive setbacks and traumatic blows. First, she failed to frighten Lu Yang and ended up getting beaten by Yun Zhi instead. Then, she tried to prove her worth by attempting to control Lu Yang and battle beyond his level, only to be taught a lesson.

Now, she realized that clinging on to her past experiences wouldn’t work. The thought process of cultivators nowadays was much more dynamic than those in ancient times. They even worked together and accumulated cultivation experiences across various realms, something that would have been unimaginable in ancient times. There was no shortage of overt and covert machinations between senior and junior brothers; they would scheme against one another and vie over resources. How could sects and tribes unconditionally share their cultivation experiences?

Oh, there was one exception—the Ancient Barbarian Tribe. They liked discussing their cultivation experiences within their own tribe.

Lu Yang stretched lazily before standing up to perform a set of radio calisthenics. As he loosened his muscles and heard the satisfying crack of his bones, he felt inexplicably comfortable.

“Where are you planning to go?”

“Hundred Refinements Peak. I want to get a custom-made weapon.”

Upon arriving at the Hundred Refinements Peak, Lu Yang saw that the dining hall was as lively as ever.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy exclaimed, “Eh? The food in your sect looks pretty good. So many disciples are coming here to buy the food.”

Lu Yang nodded. “The food quality is indeed pretty good.”

However, the purpose of this visit was not the dining hall but the Hundred Refinements Hall halfway up the mountain on the other side.

The dining hall sold common weapons, which were good but not necessarily suitable for everyone. And thus, the Hundred Refinements Hall was born. They specialized in selling customized weapons and had grand artifact-crafting masters stationed there.

“You are...Senior Brother Lu Yang?” a surprised voice called out to Lu Yang at the entrance of the Hundred Refinements Hall.

Lu Yang immediately recognized who the other party was. “You are Li Haoran, from my cohort!”

In Lu Yang’s cohort, there were altogether three people with a Single Spirit Root: Lu Yang with his Sword Spirit Root, Meng Jingzhou with his Single’s Spirit Root, and Li Haoran with his Fire Spirit Root.

“More than a month ago, I heard Senior Sister Zhou Lulu say that you were soaking in lava. You finally managed to come out?”

At the mention of the lava bath, Li Haoran’s expression visibly turned grim, as if he was recalling some very unpleasant experiences. “I finally met Shifu’s expectations to learn to swim in lava, eat fire salamanders raw, and successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. In fact, I just came out. I was about to look for Shifu and ask him what the next steps are, but Senior Sister Zhou Lulu said that she hasn’t seen Shifu for three days and doesn’t know where he has gone.”

Lu Yang thought to himself, Could it be that Fifth Elder and Shifu share a close bond, so he decided to accompany Shifu in meditation?

“After progressing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you need to go to the Great Mission Hall to take on missions for the sect.”

Li Haoran nodded; he had heard of this from his senior brothers.

“Do you know the way? Why don’t I go with you?” He does call me “Senior Brother Lu Yang” after all, so I should also fulfill my duties as a senior brother.

“Thank you then, Senior Brother.”

On the way to the Great Mission Hall, Lu Yang learned more about Li Haoran’s background. Both of his parents were cultivators, though they were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. When his parents found out that their son had a Fire Spirit Root, no words could describe how elated they were, and they showered him with as much affection as they could.

This also resulted in Li Haoran becoming condescending and irascible. A reflection of this was when they were climbing the Heart-Seeking Mountain. Li Haoran’s Dao heart wasn’t steadfast, so everyone else with poorer talents reached the fiftieth step before he did, and he came in last place.

Lu Yang’s conjecture was that Fifth Elder, Zhou Xin, had discerned Li Haoran’s weakness and deliberately made him soak in lava for a year to temper his Dao heart.

And it looked like it worked very well.

In the Great Mission Hall, the two still couldn’t find a suitable mission for Li Haoran even after searching one round.

“By the way, can you craft artifacts?”

“Of course! Shifu said that my skill in crafting artifacts is already at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment cultivators.” Those with a Fire Spirit Root were the most suited for crafting weapons, and Li Haoran had also studied knowledge on crafting weapons for a year in the lava.

“How about this? I’ll post an artifact-crafting mission, and you’ll accept it. You can complete a mission and I can also achieve my goal of getting a weapon crafted.” Lu Yang had already thought this through. The artifact-crafting masters in the Hundred Refinements Hall were at least from the Golden Core Stage, and their prices were exorbitant, but the weapon he had in mind didn’t need such a high-level artifact-crafting master.

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, you don’t have to accommodate me. I can just come back to the Great Mission Hall in a few days.”

Lu Yang shook his head. “I’m not accommodating you. I just happen to need a weapon to be crafted, and you’re the most suitable choice.”

“The most suitable?” Li Haoran felt rather flattered.

Lu Yang nodded. “Yes, you are the cheapest.”

Li Haoran, “...”

After the two returned to Li Haoran’s artifact-crafting room, Lu Yang took out his Qingfeng Sword, giving Li Haoran a fright. The quality of the Qingfeng Sword is outrageously high. It’s far beyond what a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me can modify.

“No, no, no, Senior Brother Lu, you should find someone else. My skills are limited. I can’t forge a sword like this.”

Lu Yang laughed. “You've misunderstood. I’m not asking you to craft this sword. I simply want to add a small accessory to the sword’s exterior.”

Li Haoran heaved a sigh of relief. That’s simple. “Do you have a sketch?”

“Yes.” Lu Yang had come prepared and pulled out a drawing that was four meters wide, hardly looking like the “small accessory” he was talking about.

When Li Haoran saw the contents of the drawing, his expression became even stranger. Crafting this isn’t difficult, but this thing looks nothing like an ornament. At the very least, I’ve never seen a decorative item like this before.

“I’m planning to learn the Flying Sword Technique soon. I’m a sword cultivator after all. I gotta know how to use a sword. But flying around in the sky with no traffic rules is so dangerous. Out of safety considerations, I came up with this design. Here's the drawing.

“When I’m using the Flying Sword Technique, I intend to sit inside a steel shell, and the flying sword shall be fixed beneath the steel shell to provide motive power. A chair will be mounted inside the steel shell for sitting. Also, let’s install two rows of seats. After I’ve mastered the Flying Sword Technique, I can take others with me to fly in the sky too.

“This thing is called a steering wheel, and it can adjust the direction.

“There are also windows. Mortals can’t use sand to refine glass, but it shouldn’t be a problem for us cultivators, right?

“In theory, there should be brakes, but since the source of motive power comes from me, we can do without the brakes; I can just use my feet...

“By the way, this big steel shell must be easy to install and dismantle, otherwise, it would be inconvenient during battles. “

As Lu Yang carefully elucidated the functions and the crafting requirements of the small accessory, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Li Haoran felt as if they had opened their eyes to a whole new world.

“It’s not that I have a fear of heights. I just find flying alone too lonely, so I wanted to bring a few more people along.” Lu Yang stressed repeatedly that he wasn’t afraid of heights. “Can you do it?”

Li Haoran contemplated for a bit. Although the thing in the drawing is bizarre, it’s not hard to craft. The only possible issue is that I haven’t crafted something like this before, so I’ll need to practice a few more times. “Sure, I can do it.”

“That’s great. These are Dark Lightning Metal to be used as the material. There’s this mask too. You can also refine it to make it tougher so that it doesn’t break easily.” Lu Yang whipped out the tofu mask. I’ll need a false identity when I go out next time.

Lu Yang took the initiative to offer, “As for the price, how about twenty contribution points?”

Twenty contribution points were equivalent to two thousand spirit stones; it was definitely not a low price.

Li Haoran accepted the mission.
