Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 388: Chapter 387: Speaking The Truth After a Meal_1

“Strange, could there be another Demon Cultivator involved in Huai’an Village?” All those present looked at the withered elder, completely puzzled.

The Grand Elder discreetly gave a cough, transmitting a message to Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye.

“I know a thing or two about what’s going on in Huai’an Village. According to the Master of the Eternity Sect, he set up a slaughterhouse in Huai’an Village in Liang State, disguising puppets as villagers.”

Dai Bufan has been managing the Task Hall and information in place of his Master. The real manager, however, should be the Grand Elder.

Although the Grand Elder likes to construct his own graves in his spare time, he doesn’t ignore everything. Both the Task Hall events and the information in Dai Bufan’s grasp are known to him, including the confession of the Master of the Eternity Sect.

Lu Yang: “…”

Tao Yaoye: “…”

Dear Elder, you knew all along about what’s going on in Huai’an Village, yet you didn’t intervene as we ran about from place to place?

The Grand Elder thought to himself, wasn’t I just looking for the most conspicuous way to make an entrance? How could I have made my entrance without you going to Huai’an Village?

The Grand Elder had hoped that Vice Headmaster Shi would attack Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye, and that he could then make a dramatic rescue in the nick of time.

Such a pity, the chance never came.

At least the withered elder is giving face.

The information known by the Grand Elder can’t be shared with Vice Headmaster Shi. This is not information that the Heaven’s Court should have, it could lead Vice Headmaster Shi to suspect their identities.

“Well then, having this ancient cultivator is a gain, so this trip wasn’t in vain,” Lu Yang voluntarily says. There’s no need to remain in Huai’an Village any longer.

“Master Shi has been very helpful throughout this process. How about the matter of this person be left to you?”

Vice Headmaster Shi can’t believe his ears. Clearly, the Dark Ghost Heavenly King captured the withered elder, but he’s giving him to himself to handle.

“This… wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”

Lu Yang, standing with his hands behind his back, laughed: “What’s inappropriate about it? Our two Sects are in cooperation. Let’s just call it a welcome gift. You, the Jiuyou Teaching, have more information than we do, and what this ancient cultivator has to say could be more useful to you than to us at the Heaven’s Court.”

Vice Headmaster Shi nodded inwardly. After all, the Jiuyou Teaching still has information on other ancient cultivators. Combining that with the information from the withered elder, they could gain a better grasp of the actions of the ancient cultivators.

Information on the ancient cultivators is of utmost importance. They might be able to find the ancient cultivators’ hidden treasure troves and enrich their wealth.

The Heaven’s Court’s indifferent attitude towards the ancient cultivators suggests that they don’t really care about them.

Just how vast is the influence of the Heaven’s Court?

Does Young Master Lu intend to owe the Jiuyou Teaching a favor, or is he trying to display his power?

Vice Headmaster Shi can’t understand Lu Yang’s attitude. As expected of Young Master of the Heaven’s Court– his profound thoughts are indeed unmatched by peers of his age.

Seeing that Vice Headmaster Shi understood the gist, he clasped his hands in a salute and said, “In that case, much thanks.”

Grand Elder put away the brick-like object and handed over the withered elder to Vice Headmaster Shi.

“Damn, my good pillow is being used as a pillow!” Fairy Eternity is discontent. She could see clearly that the object in the Grand Elder’s hand was her Immortal Treasure, the Dream Pillow.

This was captured by Seek Dao Sect during the invasion by Master Liu and Master Gao, who run the barbecue shop. It can induce forced sleep.

“We’ll be leaving now!” Vice Headmaster Shi took out his flying boat, sealed the Cultivation Level of the withered elder, threw him onto the boat, and got underway.

The Grand Elder pulled out a water-ink landscape painting from his sleeve. A waterfall in the painting rushed down for what seemed like forever. There was no sound in the painting, but when Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye saw this, they felt like they heard a sound in their ears.

The Grand Elder smiled, “This is a magic artifact I often use when I travel – it’s a High Mountains and Flowing Water Picture. Within the painting is a world, another type of Cave Heaven. Fourth Junior Brother drew this for me.”

Tao Yaoye hesitates a bit as she has not seen this kind of magic artifact before. She doesn’t know how to use it.

“Do we need to jump in?” Lu Yang recalled, he had seen Ji Hongwen, the Senior Brother of the Fourth Elder, use a similar method before.

“Indeed.”

The Grand Elder jumps into the painting. Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye follow suit and jump in as well.

Just as they jump into the painting, there is a roaring sound of a waterfall. The two lift their heads and discover that they are standing next to a waterfall. The waterfall is flowing down from the sky, making countless splashes of water.

The two crouch down and observe the vegetation by the riverside. The grass and trees are lush and dripping with vibrance, with dewdrops on their leaves. They can’t tell if it’s real or not.

Is this just a painting, or is there another small world within the painting?

Seeing their shocked expressions, the Grand Elder feels very satisfied. He has no intention to give them any explanation, and manipulates the painting to fly towards the Seek Dao Sect.

“Ah, it’s painting cultivation. I didn’t expect that there would be skilled practitioners amongst painters in this era,” Fairy Eternity is slightly astonished. Since ancient times, there have been saints in the Confucianism Path, and many great cultivators studied painting in ancient times.

“Are the plants and streams within the painting real or fake?” Lu Yang asked.

“Fake, but they’re very close to the real thing. If the spirit of vegetation were infused into it, they would become real. This skill was very rare even in our time.”

“Can Fairy paint?”

Fairy Eternity waved her hand dismissively: “That’s a small, poor scholar’s trick. I don’t have any interest in learning such things.”

Remembering something, the Grand Elder turns his head and asks, “Speaking of painting, I once read a record in an ancient book. In ancient times, there were two Immortals, one a Demon Immortal and the other a Wood Immortal. The Demon Immortal was imprisoned in a painting by the Wood Immortal. This led to a great battle between the two Immortals, with Heavenly Lights radiating, shocking the universe. If it weren’t for the ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix Two Clans stepping in and mediating the battle, who knows how many stars would have been shattered. This is recorded in several ancient books to some extent.”

“Lu Yang, you’re familiar with ancient history, have you heard of this?”

Lu Yang shakes his head. This is his first time hearing of it.

The Demon Immortal and Wood Immortal, could they be the Qilin Immortal and Time Immortal?

It’s time to use the golden finger.

“Fairy, have you heard of this?”

Fairy Eternity thought for a moment, and then suddenly exclaimed: “Now I remember. One time Time Immortal ate my cooking and spoke the truth afterwards, mentioning this incident!”

“You’re asking the right person. If you’d asked anyone else, they truly wouldn’t know!”

“…Before we go on, why does Time Immortal speak the truth after eating your meal?”

Fairy Eternity was surprised by Lu Yang’s question and naturally said: “Isn’t this normal? After getting full and sleepy, the Yingtian Immortal and Time Immortal often become drowsy after eating my food. They lie their heads against the table and they start babbling. If you ask them anything at this time, they’ll answer, and they won’t remember what they’ve said afterwards.”

“Please continue.”

Fairy Eternity continued: “I never cared to learn about painting cultivation, but Time Immortal did show a great interest and was quite skilled in it. Even I have trouble distinguishing the authenticity of his works. After all, he derived from the Firmament Tree and stands at the pinnacle of plant spirits. He naturally feels a connection to paper.”
