Chapter 150: That Bastard Ying Tian Immortal
“They have archaeological value and commemorative significance. They could be sold to the Dragon Clan museum,” Yun Zhi whispered. Wild Dragon Transformation Grass in perfect condition is extremely rare. She had visited the Dragon Clan museum, which did not have any wild Dragon Transformation Grass.
“All this junk, back when I was alive, I wouldn’t even bother picking these things up if they fell on the ground!” Yellow Bean scoffed disdainfully, telling Lu Yang, “Wait until you find my treasure trove, and I’ll show you what real treasures are!”
Lu Yang rolled his eyes, ignoring Everlasting Fairy’s remark, and continued scouring for treasures with Eldest Senior Sister.
Everlasting Fairy, stomping her foot in frustration, reminisced about the ancient times when many cultivators would spend their fortunes just for a glimpse of her or to hear her speak.
Her words were like those of an immortal, benefiting one for a lifetime!
This kid really didn’t know what was good for him. Ignoring him!
Suddenly, Lu Yang stumbled upon a thick book with exquisite packaging. The book’s material was soft to the touch, clearly no ordinary item.
Perhaps due to its uniqueness, the Blood Demon Sovereign had specifically noted the book’s origin.Lu Yang read out loud, “This immortal technique was acquired from a stall in a black market. According to the stall owner, its origins, material, and content were unknown. However, one thing for certain was its ancient provenance and that it was sealed by a powerful formation, dating back to the ancient era.”
“I laughed at the seller for not recognizing its value, oblivious to the treasure in his possession. I strained to use my heavenly eye to see beneath the seal, and at the place for the author’s name, there was the word “immortal”. This is not merely an item from the ancient era, but something belonging to the ancient immortals. A book written by an immortal could potentially be an legendary immortal technique!”
“Alas, the ancient seal was so powerful that I spent my entire life unable to unlock it.”
“An immortal technique!” Lu Yang exclaimed, his heart racing at the thought of finding a legendary immortal technique in such a place, a great opportunity indeed!
And such a thick book might either contain a complex immortal technique or several techniques. Either possibility was invaluable!
He tried to open the book, finding it sealed just as the Blood Demon Sovereign had described.
“Hmm? This looks familiar,” Everlasting Fairy commented, her attention diverted from Lu Yang for a solid twenty seconds.
“Have you seen it before? Can you unlock the seal?” Lu Yang asked.
“Of course, this little seal is nothing but a flick of a finger to me.”
Following Everlasting Fairy’s instructions, Lu Yang carefully infused his spiritual power into it and indeed unlocked the seal.
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Yang opened the ancient book, which listed the author’s name at the bottom right — Ying Tian Immortal.
Truly a book by an immortal, Lu Yang was delighted. Ying Tian Immortal should be a reliable immortal. If all the ancient immortals were like Everlasting Fairy, how did the ancient times not collapse?
Looking up, he saw the title of the book — “The Complete Guide to Cooking.”
“Huh?”
Flipping through a few pages, Lu Yang found the content perfectly matched the title, detailing how to cook various demonic beasts.
Screw your immortal technique!
Ying Tian Immortal, you’re absolutely unreliable!
You even sealed such a thing, afraid that humans would cook demonic beasts to extinction?
Everlasting Fairy sensed something was amiss and frowned, “Wait, that’s not right. I’ve tasted all sorts of demonic beasts and treasures, compiling my cooking experience into a book, which was my pride. How did it become Ying Tian Immortal’s?”
Everlasting Fairy gritted her teeth, “That bastard Ying Tian Immortal stole my work after I died?”
“So, you were the author. That makes a lot of sense,” Lu Yang suddenly understood.
“What did you say?” Everlasting Fairy looked displeased.
“Ah, no, I meant to say that Ying Tian Immortal was just fooling around by putting his name on this kind of book.”
Everlasting Fairy felt Lu Yang was looking down on her too much: “You kid can’t appreciate the value, scoffing at my work. If you could master the recipes in this book, at the very least, you’d be a Tribulation Crossing Stage spiritual chef. If this were known outside, there would be a mad scramble for it, to the point of fighting dogs for it!”
“When I cooked for the other four back in the day, they felt unworthy to eat my cooking and tried every possible excuse not to come!”
“Are you sure it wasn’t because your cooking was too awful?”
“Nonsense, my cooking could emit golden light, how could it possibly taste bad!”
The argument between the human and the fairy went back and forth, eventually circling back to Ying Tian Immortal. After much discussion, no conclusion was reached. Lu Yang mentioned this to Eldest Senior Sister, but Yun Zhi merely frowned and said nothing.
On Meng Jingzhou’s side, some techniques were found and weighed by the pound. Some had been lost over time, others had been improved upon. All in all, the loot was significant.
While sifting through the treasures, Yun Zhi expressed surprise: “Is this a cultivation experience from a Flawless Immortal Physique?”
Yun Zhi was astonished to find cultivation experiences for a Flawless Immortal Physique here, especially from someone at the early stages of Unity.
Cultivation experiences for immortal physiques are rare, and those suitable for Dao Seeking Sect are even rarer.
In the spiritual space, Lu Yang asked, “Fairy, were there immortal physiques back in your time? Could they become immortals?”
As far as Lu Yang knew, there are twenty known types of immortal physiques in the world, rarer than single spiritual roots. Each immortal physique cultivator, upon reaching the Unity Stage, automatically forms 【rules】, with terrifying and unpredictable power, making them difficult to defend against.
Lu Yang heard that there were two immortal physiques within his sect, Peach Blossom Leaf and her master, the Sixth Elder. Peach Blossom Leaf has a Feathered Immortal Physique, and the Sixth Elder has a Flawless Immortal Physique.
At this moment, Yellow Bean was still seething with anger over “that shameless Ying Tian Immortal stealing her copyright.” Her anger quickly subsided, though. Yellow Bean is quite magnanimous. Upon hearing Lu Yang’s question, she shifted her focus.
“Immortal physiques? Yes, we had immortal physiques in our time, and their history is much longer than you might think.”
“The concept of immortal physiques dates back to the most ancient times when the human race did not yet know how to cultivate and had to figure it out themselves. Foundation Building, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation—all these stages were developed step by step by those with immortal physiques relying on their special traits.”
“As for those among the immortal physiques who became immortals, I only know of one person, Nonuple Immortal. He was a formidable opponent, equal in strength to me!” Everlasting Fairy mentioned Nonuple Immortal with a serious expression, acknowledging his power.
“Nonuple Immortal was the first among us to become an immortal. According to him, his immortal physique played a significant role in his ascension!”
Lu Yang sneakily asked, “Is Eldest Senior Sister an immortal physique, and what exactly is her cultivation level?”
Everlasting Fairy chuckled, “You guess.”
Lu Yang’s face darkened. How am I supposed to guess.
“Lu Yang, when you return to the sect, hand this cultivation experience over to the Sixth Elder. This experience suits her the most.”
“Understood.”
The trio returned to Dao Seeking Sect with rich rewards.
Yun Zhi went to the Prison Peak to interrogate the Blood Demon Sovereign, Meng Jingzhou returned to the Body Refining Peak for cultivation, and Lu Yang went to the Sixth Elder at the Dust-Free Peak to deliver the cultivation experience.
