Chapter 321: Immortal Fairy Suppresses the Little Medicine King

The Wendao Sect, the Herb Garden.

Under the veil of night, Old Man Ba kept watch over the herb garden as he always did, separating a clone of himself to sit opposite and play chess.

"Old Man Ba." A familiar voice drifted into his ear.

"Little Lu? It is so late, what brings you to the herb garden?"

Cultivators active both day and night, yet most disciples rarely visited the herb garden during the dark hours.

Lu Yang spoke with a face full of embarrassment: "It is just, do you have anything particularly precious here..."

"Herbs?"

"Mud."

"What do you want mud for?"

"To eat."

Old Man Ba: "..."

He had long heard that Yun Zhi was disconnected from worldly matters and could always torment people intentionally or otherwise, but had she finally tormented Lu Yang to this extent?

"No, I have cultivated a type of technique that allows me to eat soil, and I want to find some soil to taste, to see what flavor it has."

Old Man Ba stroked his chin, sizing Lu Yang up from head to toe: "I remember the last time you came to the herb garden, you had mastered the earth-shrinking skill, and this time you come having mastered eating soil, have you obtained the inheritance of an earthworm?"

Shrinking the earth and eating soil, those were the unique talents of the Silver Ring Heavenly King Worm.

Lu Yang said seriously: "Mine is an ancient inheritance."

"An ancient earthworm?"

Old Man Ba did not probe deeper into this question, for nothing done by the disciples of the Wendao Sect was strange, as he himself had lived through it: "Forget it, it is not your first time to the herb garden, one pair of earthworm couples is resting, and the other pair has gone on a honeymoon, go in by yourself to find the soil, it is right over by the Little Herb Kings."

Just as Lu Yang was preparing to enter the herb garden, he was called back by Old Man Ba: "By the way, have you ever been in love?"

"No."

Old Man Ba uttered an 'oh', and asked again: "Then do you know what girls like to hear the most?"

Lu Yang turned his head and immediately asked the Immortal Fairy in his spiritual space: "What do you like people to say to you?"

"Praise me for being beautiful and smart."

Lu Yang turned his head back and said to Old Man Ba: "Praise her for being beautiful and smart."

Old Man Ba looked thoughtful: "Understood, you may go in."

Returning to the herb garden after a long absence, Lu Yang walked toward the dwelling of the Little Herb Kings with familiar ease.

Beneath the tall Tree of Enlightenment, the Little Herb Kings held hands, singing and dancing around a campfire.

"What is that smell, so fragrant..."

"Ginseng King, your whiskers are on fire!"

"Quick, help me put out the fire."

The Little Herb Kings swarmed forward, stomping and kicking the Ginseng Baby, finally giving the Ginseng Baby a beating before the flames were extinguished.

"Lu Yang, you have come?" The Tree of Enlightenment was the first to notice Lu Yang's arrival, greeting him with a chuckle.

"Is it Lu Yang?"

Hearing the Tree of Enlightenment speak, the Little Herb Kings also noticed Lu Yang's arrival.

The Little Herb Kings hopped and skipped around Lu Yang's feet, looking exceedingly happy.

Lu Yang shrunk his body, sweeping his gaze across the Little Herb Kings from whom he had been separated for several months: the Ginseng Baby, the Three-Leaf Star Grass, the Flower of Time's End, and the Qilin Immortal Herb.

Seeing that Lu Yang was still willing to become as tall as they were, the Little Herb Kings became even happier: "How is it, at which step has the plan to counter-attack the female demon progressed?"

When they parted last time, Lu Yang had tricked the Little Herb Kings, saying that he too detested the female demon Yun Zhi and wanted to march forward hand in hand with the Little Herb Kings to counter-attack Yun Zhi.

At that time, Lu Yang did not yet know the Eldest Senior Sister's true strength, thinking she was merely at the peak of the Body Integration Stage, and that after cultivating for several thousand years himself, there might be a chance to overtake her.

Looking at it now, let alone him cultivating for several thousand years, even if he cultivated for several thousand years and added the resurrection of the Immortal Fairy, they might not necessarily be the Eldest Senior Sister's match.

"I knew you also had the idea of teaching that girl Yun a lesson, Lu Yang!" The Immortal Fairy felt as though she had found a like-minded friend, excitedly leaving the spiritual space.

"Huh, a soul body, a human, who are you?" The Ginseng Baby placed its two whiskers on its hips, presenting an air of great confidence.

It had heard of and seen instances of powerful souls residing within human cultivators, and those powerful souls were at most in the Tribulation Transmutation Stage.

What did the Tribulation Transmutation Stage amount to, could they live as long as the Herb Kings?

"Little herb child, show some respect to this Immortal, do you know who this Immortal is!" As the leader of the five ancient immortals, what had the Immortal Fairy not seen, a mere Herb King was nothing, she could have them whenever she wanted, and countless Little Herb Kings had volunteered to follow her, it was only that she was too lazy to raise them.

The Immortal Fairy slightly released her aura, shocking the Little Herb Kings into sitting flat on the ground, as if the person before them possessed an inherent suppression over them.

"You, you, you, who are you!"

The Tree of Enlightenment was also greatly shocked, it did not know who this soul body before it was, but instinct caused it to feel a strange panic toward the Immortal Fairy.

Beneath the panic, there was faintly a hint of yearning.

The Little Herb Kings could live for a very long time, but ultimately they could not break free from the shackles of longevity, and would one day reach the end of their lives.

Yet the Immortal Dao Fruit was the very pronoun for eternal existence and immortality, the lifelong pursuit of the Little Herb Kings, which naturally exerted a suppressing effect on them.

For instance, the Mutian Grass that had previously caused Lu Yang to fall into a hard battle in the dense forest; when the Immortal Fairy saw Lu Yang being bullied, she had intended to teach it a lesson, and then release her immortal aura to suppress the Mutian Grass, only later because Lu Yang entered a state of sudden enlightenment did the Immortal Fairy refrain from following through.

"This Immortal is the Immortal Fairy, the leader of the five ancient immortals from three hundred thousand years ago, and is now the sole guest elder of the Wendao Sect, a position that girl Yun respectfully invited me to take!"

"This Immortal was also the first to achieve immortality in the ancient times, established the Heavenly Court, and is the Supreme Great Heavenly Venerate of the Heavenly Court—Venerate Bean!"

"So, so incredible!" The Little Herb Kings were stunned by the Immortal Fairy's various identities, looking at her with adoration.

"Heheh, now you know the power of this Immortal?"

"This Immortal has not yet fully recovered, but once I return to my peak strength, I shall lead you to attack Yun Zhi, so she may know who is truly the strongest!"

The Little Herb Kings clapped their hands rapidly, thinking the Immortal Fairy was incredibly amazing and confident.

"Then, Fairy, are you currently recovering your strength within Lu Yang's body?"

"You are less than half right, this Immortal is not only recovering strength within Lu Yang's body, but I have also set various trials for Lu Yang to undergo, and once the trials end, this Immortal shall designate him as my successor!"

"This Immortal allowed Lu Yang to enjoy the feeling of possessing power, letting him serve as the Sect Master of the Wendao Sect for three days, monopolizing all authority, with unparalleled glory. After the three days passed, Lu Yang's senior brothers and sisters all lined up to seek him out!"

"This Immortal guides his cultivation, recounts ancient secrets to him, imparts the great divine abilities of the Close Yet Worlds Apart and the Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring, utilizes his body to challenge those of higher levels, and cultivates his invincible posture!"

"Lu Yang's successful formation of the Golden Core of Invincibility, the number one golden core of past and present, is precisely due to this Immortal's proper guidance!"

The Little Herb Kings listened with dumbfounded expressions, thinking that Lu Yang's luck was truly excellent, becoming the successor of an immortal and having the immortal impart everything to him.

What a grand fortune this was!

Although they had never heard of any Golden Core of Invincibility, since it could be called the number one golden core of past and present by an immortal, its power naturally went without saying.

Lu Yang opened his mouth, originally intending to say that the Immortal Fairy was talking nonsense, but upon careful reflection, it seemed that everything the Immortal Fairy said was the truth.

From whom had she learned this?

Lu Yang interrupted the Immortal Fairy's self-praise and said: "We came to the herb garden to ask if there is any particularly precious mud here, which is needed for cultivation."
