Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 39: Junior Brother, Do You Know That the Dao-Seeking Sect Is a Righteous Sect?

“Of course, not everything can be considered as a mission. All three scenarios I’ve mentioned have a common prerequisite—upholding the righteous path.

“Coincidentally, Brother Man Gu has discovered a mission suitable for us. It’s hard for him to complete it alone, so he has called us along.”

Man Gu simply nodded, not saying anything else. He indeed bore the humility of a gentleman.

Lu Yang asked, “So when should we set off?”

“What about early tomorrow morning?” Meng Jingzhou suggested.

This suited Lu Yang perfectly. He wanted to redeem some items from the Great Mission Hall before setting off. With the contribution points he had accumulated, he kept feeling the temptation to spend them.

~~~

“Iced gourd: The water inside the gourd chills rapidly and provides a refreshing sensation. It’s the best choice for people who like iced drinks.

“3 contribution points.

“Multifunctional folding knife: Its features include an ear pick, nail clipper, marker brush, and compass, a must-have for outdoors.

“10 contribution points.

“Buddhist Dragon Blood Saber. It was once a magical treasure of a diabolic cultivator. Its bloodthirstiness is activated with dragon blood, and its ferocity is suppressed by Buddhist techniques. Slicing through flesh and bone is as easy as taking something out of your pocket. This blade has now been cleansed of its devil aura and its ferocity subdued, but it is slightly less sharp.

“The selling price is 300 contribution points.

“Fragments of Maha Inner Cultivation Method: Text fragments of an inner cultivation method left behind by an ascetic monk after self-immolation. Believed to be an original inner cultivation method, the original version can no longer be verified. This fragment can calm the hyperactive mind and aid in swiftly entering a meditative state.

“The selling price is 1500 contribution points.”

Lu Yang continued browsing several more items, but none of them were to his liking, so he inquired with the senior male disciple on guard duty. “Senior Brother, I’ll be going out to gain experience tomorrow, so I hope to buy some self-defense items. Do you have any recommendations?”

The senior male disciple was tall and burly. His face was filled with ferocious-looking muscles that could make a child stop crying. In fact, he looked exactly like the target a chivalrous hero would eliminate.

He glanced at Lu Yang, finding him unfamiliar, but he soon realized that Lu Yang was one of the newly recruited disciples. Thinking of how he could finally be addressed as “senior brother,” his expression relaxed. How many years has it been? I’m finally not at the bottom among disciples. “How many contribution points and spirit stones have you budgeted?”

“Three hundred contribution points, no spirit stones.”

“My name is Li Dan. You can address me as Senior Brother Li. Since you are at Foundation Establishment, the grade of items you can use isn’t high, so it won’t cost too many contribution points.”

Contrary to Li Dan’s fierce appearance, he was actually a very kind man at heart. He skillfully scrolled through the rewards board and introduced the various defense-type items, “Hundred-Battle Heart-Protecting Mirror. When worn at the chest, it can withstand an all-out blow from an Apex Foundation Establishment cultivator. It only costs two hundred contribution points.”

Just as Lu Yang was contemplating whether he should buy one to save his life in a pinch, he heard a timid voice. “Junior Brother...Junior Brother Lu, actually, you don’t have to buy a heart-protecting mirror here. The shaobing[1] from the dining hall can also withstand an all-out blow from an Apex Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it’s even cheaper than this.” The voice grew increasingly quieter. Toward the end, it became almost as soft as a fly flapping their wings. If not for Lu Yang’s heightened senses from being at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he might have missed it.

“Senior Sister Zhou Lulu?” Lu Yang was surprised.

The first month of him joining the Dao-Seeking Sect, he had spent most of his time in the scripture library, and he would consult Zhou Lulu whenever he encountered something he didn’t understand. After being confined by Yun Zhi in Heaven’s Gate Peak for cultivation training, he hadn’t seen Zhou Lulu since. Before he knew it, a year had already passed.

“Senior Sister.” Li Dan was only senior to Lu Yang by one cohort, so he had to address Zhou Lulu as “senior sister.”

“It’s...it’s me.” Zhou Lulu was visibly nervous as she spoke. She had just finished a mission and came to redeem her rewards. That was when she happened to bump into Lu Yang. “You...you two can continue browsing. I...I was just giving a small suggestion, nothing else.” Afraid of meeting the two’s gaze, Zhou Lulu hid far away and tried to minimize her presence. She planned to redeem her rewards after Lu Yang was done with his.

The two stopped paying attention to Zhou Lulu.

“This is the Mountain Quaking Hammer. One strike has accompanying vibration effects, and it can disrupt the other party’s rhythm in setting up arrays or talismans. It has some degree of suppression effects toward array and talisman cultivators. However, cultivators proficient in arrays and talismans have strong mental willpower and remain composed in the face of danger. They can adjust their rhythm even if they encounter disruptions. In such cases, the Mountain Quaking Hammer would be much less effective. It costs two hundred and seventy contribution points.”

Lu Yang nodded. This is also good stuff. Who knows if I may come across opponents who are array or talisman cultivators. Except for cultivators that have immersed themselves in arrays and talismans for years, this Mountain Quaking Hammer would have some use.

Zhou Lulu softly muttered by the side again, “The youtiao in the dining hall also has similar effects.”

The two pretended not to have heard her.

“Senior Brother Li, are there gadgets that can ambush others?”

Li Dan’s expression turned solemn. “Junior Brother, do you know that the Dao-Seeking Sect is a righteous sect?”

“What about it?”

“So you have to ask this question quietly.”

“Oh.”

Li Dan scrolled down the rewards board rapidly. He found the right moment and tapped the rewards board, continuing with his introduction, “These are Jade Fragment Needles. They are as fine as ox hair and become extremely sharp after being infused with spirit energy, capable of piercing through barriers. However, they’re hard to master, requiring much practice, and the price is also quite expensive.

“This is a Qimen[2] Nail. Against strong enemies, you can throw a handful toward their seven orifices to gain an unexpected victory through a surprise move. It is easy to master, and the price is also appropriate.”

Lu Yang nodded. This item is really not expensive. It’s cheaper than its true worth.

“The rice in the dining hall is more useful than this.” Zhou Lulu reminded from the side.

Li Dan couldn’t tolerate Zhou Lulu’s murmuring anymore. He suddenly turned around, frightening Zhou Lulu. The latter lowered her head, not daring to look straight at the fierce-looking Li Dan.

She didn’t have any intentions of causing trouble, but she truly found the things from the dining hall to be very useful. She wanted to recommend it to Lu Yang directly but was too shy to do so.

From how Zhou Lulu behaved, Li Dan could tell that she didn’t have any ill intentions, and his tone involuntarily softened. “Senior Sister Zhou, I know that you are from the Hundred Refinements Peak, but you can’t harm our newcomer just because you want to bring in more sales for your peak!

“And Junior Brother Lu, think about it. Besides being cheap, sturdy, durable, multifunctional, serving as both weapons and food, what other benefits are there to the dining hall’s food?”

Lu Yang didn’t know how to answer. Are these benefits still not enough?

Li Dan thought for a bit. Apart from the appearances not being suitable for combat, it does seem like there are no other flaws to the food from the dining hall.

“Senior Sister Zhou, how about you take Junior Brother Lu to the dining hall for a tour?”

Zhou Lulu’s eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Lu Yang to the dining hall. Lu Yang realized that Zhou Lulu had a terrifyingly strong grip; he couldn’t break free at all. I wonder what cultivation level Senior Sister Lu is at.

“Senior Sister Lu, you are from the Hundred Refinements Peak?”

The Hundred Refinements Peak was under the Fifth Elder’s name. Its two main functions were crafting weapons and managing the dining hall, though most of the time, these two roles overlapped into one.

Zhou Lulu replied, “That’s right, I’m a disciple from the Hundred Refinements Peak.”

“But I often see you reading in the scripture library, and they didn’t seem to be about forging artifacts.” Lu Yang was bewildered. Shouldn’t disciples from the Hundred Refinements Peak study how to refine artifacts?
