Who Let Him Cultivate?!

He became cautious.

The Grand Elder believed Daoist Buyu had a reason to harm him, Daoist Buyu was taken to the mountain by Old Three when he was still a baby, becoming the youngest disciple. As no one from the master to the senior brothers and sisters took care of the baby, he gradually figured it out on his own.

The Grand Elder was proficient in the Dream Spell. When Daoist Buyu was still a child and restless, unable to sleep, he would use the Dream Spell to lull Daoist Buyu into a deep sleep.

When Daoist Buyu grew up to the point of cultivation, he was always sleepy during his training. The Grand Elder would use the Dream Spell to scare him awake. Perhaps because he was too terrified, to this day Daoist Buyu still has a psychological shadow.

Seeing the Grand Elder cautious, the seven Elders also called out together, “Eldest Senior Brother, come in quickly, we are just missing you for our hot pot.”

We can’t be the only ones to suffer, today no matter what, we must gather all nine members of the Seek Dao Sect!

Eight people at the entrance of the Abode were smiling and welcoming the Grand Elder, but they did not dare to cross the threshold. To outsiders, this scene looked extremely strange.

In the Grand Elder’s impression, the seven Junior Brothers and Sisters have never been so enthusiastic.

Two thousand years of experience had made him extremely seasoned, he quickly made a judgement – this was an illusion!

He abruptly bit his tongue.

The Grand Elder tried to break the illusion by shedding blood from his tongue, but nothing changed.

Could it not be an illusion?

He remembered that Lu Yang said that Old Nine had been sealed in the Abode by Yun Zhi but the question was, how were Old Two to Old Eight sealed?

“How were you sealed?”

Eighth Elder explained seriously: “Eldest Senior Brother, it happened like this, when we heard that Old Nine had been sealed by Yun Zhi, we immediately came to investigate. Old Nine said that the seal can’t trap the clever ones, and we seven thought we were clever and will not be trapped by the seal, so we went in one after another to try, and as you can see, we ended up like this.”

Grand Elder raised an eyebrow: “Is it that magical? Let me try.”

The Grand elder walked in the Abode, everyone cheered.

What Eighth Elder said wasn’t wrong, who would voluntarily allow themselves to be sealed if they were clever people?

As of now, all the nine members of the Seek Dao Sect are trapped, good news indeed.

The nine of them sat around the hot pot, the entire Abode was filled with steam, like an Immortal Realm filled with the scent of hot pot.

The ingredients for the hot pot were all provided by Third Elder. As a Body Cultivator, he needed to frequently eat heavenly treasures and Demon Beast meat to replenish his body’s consumption.

When the Grand Elder finally understood the reason of why they were all in this situation, his face turned black.

So you eight were trapped in here, not thinking about asking for help, just thinking about how to pull others in with you?

Uncle Ba stepped forward: “Of course we wanted to get out, but Old Nine said that the only way to do so was to defeat our Inner Demons, but… the Inner Demons are too strong, none of us were able to defeat them.”

“So we joined forces and thought of some other solutions.”

“Like Old Three, he suggested digging a tunnel with a spoon.”

“Like Old Four, he suggested shouting for help and calling Martial nephew Yun Zhi over.”

“Like Old Five, he suggested refining the spoon into a magic artifact and then digging a tunnel.”

“Like Old Six, she…”

The Grand Elder interrupted the planned escape of the nine members of the Seek Dao Sect: “How come I heard Lu Yang say that you just had to meditate honestly for three days, and the seal would be lifted. He also said that he told Old Nine three days ago, and the seal should have been lifted by now.”

The Grand Elder was not a fool, he was confident that he didn’t walk in here because he was deceived, but because he knew the real way to leave.

Eight cold glances broodingly focused on Daoist Buyu.

Daoist Buyu calmly said: “I have made a lot of contributions to the Sect, before you make a move, can you allow me to write a suicide note first?”

Lu Yang, who was meditating, felt the Sky Gate Mountain tremble a bit. He was surprised and didn’t know what had happened.

Is there someone daring enough to make a move on Sky Gate Mountain?

Fortunately, the Sky Gate Mountain only shook for a moment and then returned to its usual calmness, so Lu Yang didn’t think much of it. He entered the isolation Array Method left by the Eldest Senior Sister, adjusted his breath, and concentrated on breaking through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Eldest Senior Sister was not there to guard him, breaking through to the mid- stage of Foundation Establishment was a matter of course for Lu Yang, there would be no accidents, and there was no need for a protector.

A moment later, he had reached the peak of his energy levels, his Lingtai was clear and bright. He ran the “Mind Seeing Method”, drawing in the Spiritual Energy from his surroundings, as an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy continuously cleansed his body.

Ordinary people, when breaking through Foundation Establishment, would use the opportunity to cleanse their marrow, renew their body, and patch up the scars left by cultivation and fighting.

But for Lu Yang, there was no need for this step at all!

He had completed thorough marrow cleansing during the Qi Refinement period, there were no more impurities to exclude!

After Foundation Establishment, Lu Yang’s path of cultivation would keep his body pure at all times, regardless of what he ate or absorbed, it would leave the essence and exclude the dross.

The “Mind Seeing Method” didn’t just clear the mind, but also the body!

After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, a vortex of liquefied spiritual essence would form at the Dantian area of the cultivator.

A raging heat pulsated from within Lu Yang’s Dantian. When he looked inward, he could clearly sense the increasingly strong vortex in his Dantian, which engorged the External Spiritual Energy and released an even purer Spiritual Energy that suited him.

He ran the Great Heavenly Cycle, as the refined Spiritual Energy was circulating within his body, strengthening every part of it, leaving no detail overlooked.

The vortex spun faster and faster, the Spiritual Energy flowed throughout his body at an inconceivable speed, and finally, it felt like a barrier was forcefully broken through by the Spiritual Energy.

Lu Yang opened his eyes, their gaze bright and clear.

Mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, achieved.

The marionette outside the Array Method, seeing that Lu Yang had successfully advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and that his realm was stable and had no hidden danger, got up and left.

“There is still one thing left undone.” Lu Yang remembered a sentence from the “Foundation Establishment Manual”.

The “Foundation Establishment Manual” was a cultivation guide left by Seventh Elder that has been supplemented by various Senior Brothers and Sisters, which clear listed the various issues that one would likely encounter at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with nothing omitted.

Lu Yang gathered Spiritual Energy in his right hand, gently slapped his lower right abdomen, and forcefully spat out a piece of meat. The piece of meat was bloody, appearing to be part of Lu Yang’s body.

Lu Yang unleashed a Sword Qi, smashing the piece of meat into tiny fragments.

“What is this?” Fairy Eternity, watching Lu Yang’s progress in her mind, was afraid to speak for fear of distracting him and disrupting the promotion process. Now that the promotion to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment was successful, she finally felt free to speak.

She was dead bored.

Lu Yang explained earnestly, “I don’t know if Fairy has heard the saying that you shouldn’t undertake vigorous exercise after meals. Vigorous exercise can cause severe stomach pain, and in severe cases, one might roll on the ground in agony, break out in sweat, which seriously affects cultivation.”

“Our Senior Brothers and Sisters of the Seek Dao Sect, after research, found out that by cutting off a small piece of unneeded flesh during the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, one can avoid this situation and move freely after meals.”

“So you just now were…”

“Removing the appendix.”

Fairy Eternity, “…”

She was a bit behind in understanding the thought processes of today’s cultivators.
