Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 208: The Everlasting Creed’s Immortal Treasures

“Big Senior Sister, you’re back?” Hearing Yun Zhi calling for him, Lu Yang eagerly scampered back to Heaven’s Gate Peak

Yun Zhi still maintained her usual aloof demeanor. “Mmm, I had gone to the imperial palace to discuss some matters. I heard that you’ve reached the Advanced Foundation Establishment Stage?”

Lu Yang remarked inwardly, The puppet must have told Big Senior Sister.

Yun Zhi swept a glance over Lu Yang, as though she was seeing right through him. “Now that you’ve reached the Advanced Foundation Establishment Stage, the next step is planning how to form your golden core.

“The formation of the golden core is a pivotal step for cultivators. In ancient times, before the advent of artifacts such as flying vessels, Golden Core cultivators were viewed as the dividing line between immortals and mortals because of their unique ability to fly in the sky. Some people even called this stage the ‘Golden Core Great Dao,’ underscoring the significance of this cultivation realm.

“If you form a high-grade golden core, transitioning to the Nascent Soul Stage will come naturally and effortlessly.

“Of course, given your Sword Spirit Root and exceptional talent, forming a first-grade golden core shouldn’t be a challenge for you. What you need to consider is what type of first-grade golden core you wish to form.

“Our sect disciples have formed manifold types of Golden Cores, and they are all recorded in the scripture library. You can go there to browse and seek some inspiration.”

“Understood,” Lu Yang acknowledged.

“Also, take this. It will be of help to you.” Yun Zhi handed Lu Yang a small medicine bottle before leaving.

“What is this?” Lu Yang mused, Could it be a pill to prevent my foundation from being damaged in case I fail to form a golden core, or is this an immortal pill that can guarantee me a first-grade golden core?

As expected of Big Senior Sister. She can even obtain good stuff like this.

“Eye drops. Use them when you’ve read too much.”

Lu Yang didn’t know how to respond. “Many thanks for your concern, Big Senior Sister.”

Yun Zhi then called out to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, “Senior, please come out for a moment.”

“What’s the matter?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked a bit nervous, quickly running through her mind to check if she had done anything wrong. I’ve been behaving myself lately and haven’t caused Lu Yang any trouble, right? At most, I was napping while he was cultivating.

Yun Zhi took out a pile of immortal treasures, each with distinctive shapes. They radiated a divine glow, making it apparent at one glance that they were no ordinary items.

“These are immortal treasures confiscated from the Everlasting Creed. Is there anything here that you desire, Senior?” Yun Zhi wanted to return them to their original owner.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy gave them a once-over and pouted. “There’s nothing I want.”

“Senior, what is this?” Yun Zhi picked up a bamboo needle. Among the immortal treasures, there were many items whose original uses remained a mystery to her. She and the Great Xia Dynasty had studied them for half a day without success, so now was the perfect opportunity for her to ask the original owner of these items.

The bamboo needle could be easily manipulated with one’s consciousness to move at astonishing speed and pierce through defenses. It was a king among covert weapons.

“Toothpick.”

“What about this?” Yun Zhi picked up an iron rod.

Through their preliminary inspection, they concluded that it was smeared with lethal poison, some of its toxins only recorded in ancient texts and others with indiscernible composition. The scholars of the Great Xia Dynasty deduced that this must have been a stirring rod used by ancient immortals when concocting poison. It was the long exposure to various poisons that had resulted in its current state.

“Chopsticks.”

“What about this?” Yun Zhi lifted the lid of a water vat, releasing an acrid stench. The water vat was filled with black liquid, looking like it was brewing countless grievous souls.

“Oh oh oh, that’s the vinegar I fermented. I didn’t expect the Everlasting Creed to have preserved such a treasure. Could you return it to me?”

Yun Zhi fell silent for a moment. Out of safety considerations, she rejected the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s request.

“You’re going back on your word!” the Everlasting Immortal objurgated Yun Zhi with her hands on her hips.

Yun Zhi pretended she didn’t hear a thing.

“What is this for?” Yun Zhi pointed at a piece of square cloth that was nine zhang long and wide.

According to the higher-ups of the Everlasting Creed, this cloth contained spatial powers. It could envelop all things, including a living person. Whoever stood on the cloth could not leave its range even if they had expended all their power.

“Bedsheet. I refined it to replace my mattress so that I could roll around on the bed as much as I wanted without falling off. Now that I don’t have a physical body, this thing is no longer useful to me. You can keep it.”

“What about this?” Yun Zhi took out a round disk.

The round disk was very sturdy and tough. Some scholars surmised that it was a shield from ancient times, albeit a smaller one, while other scholars speculated that as long as one activated it with the correct method, it could appear above an enemy’s head and immobilize them.

“My personalized dining plate.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy complained, “Back in my time, the quality of dining plates was poor, and they would leak easily, so I specially crafted a set for myself.”

After the whole series of questions, Lu Yang realized that the so-called immortal treasures of the Everlasting Creed were merely the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s daily household items.

One could only remark that these indeed belonged to an immortal. All the items bore their own mystical properties. For example, a wooden barrel that could accommodate the vast rivers and lakes was just her swimming pool, and her Yellow Millet Dream Pillow was still revered as a precious treasure by First Elder.

“Barbeque skewers! Freshly grilled skewers, tender and juicy!

“Exclusive recipe guaranteed to keep you hooked!

“One skewer makes you crave two, and two will have you dreaming of ten more!”

In the bustling commercial district of the Dao-Seeking Sect, the loud voices of hawkers reverberated through the air, while the tantalizing aroma of barbeque drew countless customers.

Night had just fallen. After a day of rigorous cultivation, this was a favorite retreat of disciples from the Dao-Seeking Sect, who loved to come here to relax, shop, and exchange insights on their cultivation.

Just as the vendors proclaimed, the skewers from “One More Skewer” Barbeque Shop had a unique flavor that left many disciples coming back for more the very next night. Some suspected that the barbeque shop had added addictive substances, but after an investigation by Seventh Elder of the Pill Cauldron Peak, it was verified that their food was simply delicious with no foul play involved.

Three hooded figures in black robes stood in front of the barbeque shop in a daze. The vibrant scene before them felt exceedingly distant, while the lively patrons gradually blurred in their vision.

One of the black-robed figures removed their hood, lamenting as they gazed at the busy barbeque shop, “Little Liu, Little Gao, you are still alive?”

Hearing a familiar voice, Chef Liu and Chef Gao froze momentarily, thinking that they must have misheard. When they looked up and saw who had spoken, their faces were filled with incredulity.

“Creed Leader?!”

“And me too.” The second black-robed figure lifted their hood, revealing the face of Vice Creed Leader Jin.

At this moment, the higher-ups of the Everlasting Creed—one creed leader and three vice creed leaders—were reunited here. Once influential figures who commanded absolute power over one of the Four Great Diabolic Creeds, they could now only convene at a humble barbeque stand.

The creed leader had never viewed the downfall of the Everlasting Creed as the responsibility of the two vice creed leaders, Liu and Gao. He knew that he was the one who had invited the wolf into their den; no one else could be blamed.

“Have a seat first. Let us finish these last few orders, and we’ll close up for the day.”

There was still a long line of customers at the shop, so Chefs Liu and Gao could only ask the people waiting behind to stop queuing; they would grill five more orders and call it a day.

The creed leader noticed that the waiter cleaning the tables and clearing the skewers was formerly an elder from the creed. He shook his head lightly, a swirl of unidentifiable emotions stirring within him.

After Chefs Liu and Gao were finished with their last order, they announced that the opening hours were over and pulled down the shutters before reminiscing with the creed leader.

“How did all of you end up here?”

Only a few knew the full story of the Everlasting Creed’s destruction. Chefs Liu and Gao were simply ordinary barbeque shop owners here, completely oblivious to what had transpired in the outside world.

“It’s a long story...” The creed leader let out a long sigh that encompassed much helplessness. He recounted in detail how Lu Yang’s trio had infiltrated the headquarters of the Everlasting Creed and how the creed was eventually surrounded by the Great Xia Dynasty.

The news of the Everlasting Creed’s annihilation was too heavy, leaving silence draped over the group for a while. Chef Liu was the first to accept reality and soon lifted his spirits.

“It’s fortunate that you have come! The Dao-Seeking Sect is currently divided into many internal factions. It’s a great opportunity to make our move. We were just fretting over a lack of manpower, and here you are now!” Chef Liu’s eyes sparkled as he gazed at the creed leader and Vice Creed Leader Jin.

The creed leader’s eyes lit up.
