Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 190: Great Fortuitous Opportunities!

An all-out massacre unfolded in the secret forest, each and every battle so intense that it sent chills creeping down people's backs.

The diabolic path was vicious and full of crafty schemes. Everyone poured in all they had, unleashing their innate talents and true nature.

The Fleshly Monk, Saber Devil Ancient Piercer, and Flying Swallow needed no further elaboration; they were the favorites. Apart from the three of them, there were many people who usually kept a low profile but stunned everyone with their performances in this trial.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were especially outstanding. Several people had either fallen at their hands, gotten pierced through by iron fists, or pulverized to a clump by iron hammers.

Their reputation gradually spread, and contestants who were aware of their ruthlessness hoped to avoid confrontation with them.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu’s fists and hammers were stained with blood. They had bloodshot eyes, and their whole body radiated with a murderous energy. It was clear at a glance that they were merciless people who killed without blinking an eye, likely having gone mad from the slaughter.

The Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s blood in Man Gu was stimulated further. In ancient times, wars raged ceaselessly. As one of the strongest tribes, the Ancient Barbarian Tribe had no shortage of wars. The blood coursing through Man Gu’s veins encompassed bloody battles and an indomitable spirit...as well as Huang Doudou’s Tame Head Curse. [1]

“I've never heard of these two people before. Where did they come from? Their strength seems to match up to the Fleshly Monk. Look, even the Fleshly Monk isn't willing to bump into them and keeps his activities confined to other areas!”

“They probably obtained some legacy somewhere, or maybe they're spawns groomed by the elders in secret!”

“I can't help but wonder who edges out between the two of them.”

Avid discussions about Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu broke out.

Meng Jingzhou was invincible with his iron fists. With just one punch, he crushed a rather well-known Intermediate Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As Meng Jingzhou was currently at the Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage, a disciple of the Dao-Seeking Sect, and a descendant of the Meng Family’s main branch, he could be considered invincible among his peers outside the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Recitations from Words of Sages echoed around Man Gu, who didn’t even blink with every strike of his hammer. The uncanny sense of incongruity made him appear like a madman.

Finally, the two met, their eyes ablaze with an intractable spirit; neither was willing to bow down to the other person.

Man Gu raised his massive hammer as he hollered, “State your name!”

“I’m Meng Jingzhou! Who are you?”

“Man Gu.”

Both were men of few words, immediately beginning to fight.

As they were the cream of the crop among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, once they clashed, the earth shattered, and trees snapped in half or were crushed to smithereens from the shockwaves of the battle.

Other competitors observed from a distance, hoping the two sides would go down together. That way, these people would be at an advantage when facing either of the two later, just like how the fisherman would benefit from the fight between the snipe and the clam. Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu possessed incredibly high points as indicated by the marks on their hands, a sum that tempted everyone. Whoever managed to kill them would be able to gain all those points!

As the Fleshly Monk and Saber Devil Ancient Piercer watched from the shadows, their hearts were secretly racing.

“These two people are no less dangerous than Flying Swallow!”

“They’re so powerful but still inferior to me. While I still have trump cards yet to be revealed, I’ve already seen through them.”

“I didn’t expect to meet such formidable opponents apart from Flying Swallow and Fleshly Monk this time. This place is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!”

“Perfect timing! My devil saber is thirsty. The blood of those trash weaklings wasn’t enough to satiate it, but the blood of these two peerless talents will be its favorite!”

~~~

Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily. “Hahaha, what a thrilling battle! It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a worthy opponent!”

Man Gu was equally exhilarated, the Ancient Barbarian Tribe’s blood boiling as it surged through his veins.

Another old tree fell during their battle. After it gave way, a Bodhi tree appeared before the two. On the tree were three little dolls swaying in the wind, while the Bodhi tree exuded a calming presence, depicting a sacred image.

Meng Jingzhou was astounded. “It’s a Bodhi Ginseng Fruit Tree?!”

“Ginseng Fruit?” Man Gu was similarly shocked.

Both people tacitly chose to cease fire in front of a sacred entity.

Man Gu was half in disbelief. “Is this the legendary Ginseng Fruit Tree?”

Meng Jingzhou nodded. “It can’t be wrong. Look at the three plump little dolls growing on the tree. Aren’t they exactly the Ginseng Fruits in the legend?”

Man Gu continued to ask, “But why would Ginseng Fruits grow on a Bodhi Tree?”

Meng Jingzhou gave him a side-eye. “That’s because you don’t know how rare Ginseng Fruits are! You can’t find a single Ginseng Fruit Tree in the world. That’s because there’s no such thing as a Ginseng Fruit Tree!

“Ginseng Fruits are born from the cadence of the union between heaven and earth. It will only appear on other trees. When a tree has amassed sufficient essence from heaven and earth, it will grow Ginseng Fruits naturally.

“Among all the trees, the Bodhi tree is the most mystical and surrounded by many legends. It’s the ideal tree for Ginseng Fruits to grow on!”

Man Gu felt like he had seen the light. This is something I’ve never considered.

It was a great fortuitous opportunity to have the Ginseng Fruits before them. There was no need to continue fighting. Even if each of them took one, they would still have an additional one left.

Initially, everyone else didn’t recognize the Ginseng Fruits. However, they were convinced after listening to Meng Jingzhou’s logical and rational explanation. They were also reminded of what the creed leader had mentioned about great fortuitous opportunities in this secret forest.

Could they be these three Ginseng Fruits?

“Charge!”

The spectators originally hidden in the dark swarmed toward the tree in a frenzy, determined to snatch at least one Ginseng Fruit!

The Saber Devil Ancient Piercer tossed out his projectile of cow-hair needles. Sensing the covert weapons, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu leaped backward, dodging the attack.

As the two were now a distance from the Ginseng Fruits, it created an opening for the others. Even if the competition included tough opponents such as Meng Jingzhou and the Fleshly Monk, everyone was willing to risk it all. As long as they could secure a Ginseng Fruit, their cultivation journey from now onward would be a smooth-sailing one.

It was worth putting everything on the line!

The Saber Devil Ancient Piercer was the first to grab one of the Ginseng Fruits. Wasting no time, he bolted right away. “So this is a Ginseng Fruit? Its texture feels like flesh. No wonder it’s called a Ginseng Fruit!”

The rest were seized with regret as they pursued him relentlessly. However, the Saber Devil Ancient Piercer was faster at navigating the dense forest, successfully shaking them off in no time.

It is mine only when it is refined. Living by this principle, the Saber Devil Ancient Piercer took a bite.

He couldn’t bite into it.

“Could it be that although the Ginseng Fruit has a flesh-like texture, it becomes extremely hard once you try to eat it?”

Just as he was mulling over how he could consume the Ginseng Fruit, his expression changed drastically.

“Damn, there’s poison!” A look of incredulity spread across his face. The surface of the Ginseng Fruit was laced with poison!

Who could’ve done this? On a Ginseng Fruit, no less! Poisoning something as precious as this is sacrilegious!

Suddenly, the Ginseng Fruit spoke, “Has no one ever told you not to eat random fruits by the roadside?”

As regret nearly suffocated the Saber Devil Ancient Piercer, the Ginseng Fruit, the Ginseng Fruit moved.

The three-inch-tall Lu Yang stretched lazily. After pretending to be a Ginseng Fruit for so long, I can finally move again.

This was a new technique he had comprehended while being tormented by his senior brothers and sisters in the Dao-Seeking Sect. He would first use To Inches, then Shrinking Earth, and finally the Tree-Planting Mantra. This combination allowed three miniature Lu Yangs to grow from the Bodhi Tree. With Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu as his shills, his status elevated to that of a Ginseng Fruit.

In passing, he also coated himself in a layer of lethal poison. Anyone capable of laying their hands on the Ginseng Fruits will undoubtedly have a high cultivation. I’ll make sure to poison them all.

“That’s all you got for someone from the diabolic path? So gullible.” Lu Yang shook his head in disdain as he finished off the Ancient Piercer.

This cohort of diabolic cultivators is truly not up to standard. It only took the three of us from the righteous path to have them wrapped around our fingers.
