Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 954: Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit

“Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit? Are you saying that one can use the Incipient Dao Fruit to influence emotions?” Lu Yang watched as Xue Shilou writhed on the ground like a maggot in the adjacent cell, the latter displaying an expression of blissful enjoyment.

A peculiar expression crossed Lu Yang’s visage.

I wonder what expression Xue Shilou would wear upon waking up. Probably, he may not want to live anymore?

“Since one cannot endure pain, one might as well accept it and even revel in it.”

“Fellow Daoist Xue has comprehended such a mental state even while mired in this predicament. He’s truly impressive.”

“A role model for us all!”

Observing Xue Shilou’s behavior, the other inmates felt that his mental state was extraordinary and that he would surely achieve great things in the future.

“Yes, the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit can make people happy, angry, scared, and so on. In ancient times, several people condensed this Incipient Dao Fruit. I recall one called the Bliss Supreme Lord, who was the most active; he could freely change others’ emotions.

“For example, if he hit someone, that person wouldn’t be angry at all and would even be overjoyed.

“For example, he could make anyone fall in love with him, regardless of gender.

“For example, he could eliminate his own fear, allowing him to face any danger or peril with composure.

“For example, he could plunge his opponents into sorrow, rendering them not in the mood to fight. Alternatively, he could plunge them into rage, clouding their judgment.

“In any case, there were many applications.”

“What happened to him later?”

“Later, he fought the Nine-Layers Immortal. Back then, both were half-immortals and roughly at the same level, so it was difficult to determine a victor.

“Thus, the Bliss Supreme Lord plunged the Nine-Layers Immortal into sorrow, trapped in it.

“As you know, sorrow is often linked to anger. After being consumed by sorrow, the Nine-Layers Immortal quickly grew enraged, his veins bulging and his eyes bloodshot. In that burst of emotions, he let out a couple of roars. His strength surged, and he eliminated the Bliss Supreme Lord.

Oh, by the way, that person with the Harem Golden Core also had the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit. According to him, he comprehended ‘love’ from his harem, and from there, he comprehended the ‘Seven Emotions.’

”Ever since obtaining the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit, even more female cultivators liked him.

“You know his fate, too. The female cultivators loved him so much that they couldn’t bear to part with him, so they parted his corpse, each taking a piece for themselves.

“I had witnessed it from afar back then. All the female cultivators clutched parts of his body, their faces and clothes covered in blood. They even wore eerie, maniacal smiles. It was rather terrifying.”

Lu Yang shuddered. That kind of scene is indeed horrifying. Fortunately, I won’t ever encounter something like that.

As he mused, he casually picked a spirit fruit from a basket and began eating. “The taste is not bad. I’ll buy ten jin later for Big Senior Sister to try.” He was eating an unfamiliar white spirit fruit, and it was surprisingly delicious.

“You call this not bad? Wait until I breed a new variety of Everlasting Immortal Fruit for you to try. Now that will be truly delicious.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy turned her nose up at Lu Yang’s lack of discernment.

“If my memory serves me right...wasn’t the function of the Everlasting Immortal Fruit to prevent corpses from decaying?” Lu Yang always had the feeling that the Everlasting Immortal Fruit was meant for the dead.

“The function is the function, and the taste is the taste—they’re too different things.” The Everlasting Immortal Fruit was meticulously grown by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy herself. Setting aside its functions, its taste was naturally top-tier.

“Just follow this immortal and enjoy a peaceful life of comfort. Back in the ancient era, only immortals and a few individuals like Little Ling and the others could eat this.”

Lu Yang didn’t reply, mainly because he wasn’t sure whether he was enjoying a peaceful life of comfort or a peaceful life of suffering.[1]

Seeing that no one had noticed her, the Moonchaser True Person resumed her cultivation with a clear conscience.

To elevate the Seven Emotions Incipient Dao Fruit’s state, the most crucial thing was to observe the myriad facets of life and comprehend worldly emotions.

Sinner Hall is filled with anger, sorrow, fear, and hatred—perfect for cultivation.

Of course, there is also joy.

The Moonchaser True Person opened her right eye and glanced at Lu Yang to her right. That’s where the joy is.

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, are you alright?”

Hearing yet another visitor, Lu Yang turned, plastering on a professional smile. “I’m fi...Junior Sister Tao?!”

Lu Yang looked as if he had seen a ghost. Why is Junior Sister Tao here?

“It’s me.” Tao Yaoye smiled sweetly, carrying a cloth bundle. “I haven’t seen you in a long time, Senior Brother. You’ve grown so small.” Tao Yaoye crouched down, speaking to Lu Yang through the bars. Her joy seemed to transmit right through them.

“Junior Sister, what brings you to the immortal palace?” Lu Yang managed a strained smile. He was afraid Tao Yaoye would spread news of his diminution upon returning.

Although everyone in Sinner Hall knows I’ve shrunk, they can’t leave anytime soon, so there’s no rush there.

But Junior Sister Tao is different; who knows if she would capture this in a Dreamlike Bubble Mirage?

“I heard you were visiting the immortal palace, Senior Brother. I’ve longed to see it myself, so I seized this opportunity to come and look around. I just didn’t expect you to have a little accident.” Tao Yaoye looked at Lu Yang, struggling to suppress the urge to pat his small head.

Seeing through Lu Yang’s concern, Tao Yaoye declared, “But don’t worry, Senior Brother, I won’t tell anyone that you’ve shrunk.”

“Thank you, Junior Sister.” Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Junior Sister Tao is reliable after all.

The Moonchaser True Person covertly observed fluctuations in Lu Yang’s emotions. “Quite a series of ups and downs.”

“Senior Brother, why do you have so many fruit baskets? Can you finish them all?” Tao Yaoye looked in surprise at the fruit baskets all over the floor.

Lu Yang smiled wryly. How could I possibly finish them all?

“If you can’t finish them, Senior Brother, they’re just taking up space here. Why not let me take some back as gifts for the other senior and junior brothers when I return to the sect?”

“I’ll have to trouble you then, Junior Sister.”

Tao Yaoye beamed as she took one fruit basket after another. “Your matters are my matters, Senior Brother. It’s no trouble at all.”

She opened her cloth bundle to reveal a four-tier lunch box. “By the way, Senior Brother, I’ve been practicing culinary skills recently and made a bit extra on the side. I don’t know if it will suit your taste, but if you don’t mind, you could try it.”

“Anything Junior Sister Tao cooks must be heavenly.” Lu Yang smiled, thinking to himself that he could finally stop snacking on spirit fruits and pretending they were seeds.

After chatting for a while, Tao Yaoye took her leave. “I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll make a move first. I will visit you again tomorrow, Senior Brother.”

“Take care, Junior Sister.” Lu Yang waved goodbye.

Even Lu Yang failed to notice the recording orb hidden in Tao Yaoye’s sleeve, which had captured his childlike appearance.

Tao Yaoye’s cooking was indeed excellent; even a Divine Transfiguration-level spirit chef couldn’t do better. The dishes were exquisitely arranged and matched each other, all prepared with rare ingredients highly beneficial for cultivation.

As Lu Yang ate, he ruminated over a question.

“I’ve been at the immortal palace for several days now. Why did Junior Sister Tao only just arrive? Does it take this long to travel from the Dao-Seeking Sect to the immortal palace?

“Or did she just hear about it from Man Gu?”

~~~

Tao Yaoye walked out of Sinner Hall, raising her right hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sun as she looked toward the figure waiting for her at the entrance.

“Junior Sister Lan, I totally never expected you to take the initiative to contact me and inform me of Senior Brother Lu’s situation.”

1. These two sound really similar in Chinese. ☜
