The Immortal Fairy Awakens

"Did Dai Bufan give you some contribution points for your undercover mission?" Yun Zhi asked after dinner.

"Yes, quite a lot." Lu Yang said happily, as he had the most contribution points among his peers.

"Three days from now, the sect will hold a market, and most people will participate. If you're interested, you can go and have a look; you might find something you like."

Lu Yang nodded. He had long heard that the sect's internal item exchange was held in the form of a market. In the past, Yun Zhi had not allowed Lu Yang to participate in such markets so that he could focus on his cultivation.

Now that Lu Yang Foundation Establishment and made some progress in his cultivation, there's no need for further intervention.

The Ask Dao Sect holds a market every three months, where people barter and buy things with contribution points, and there is nothing to eat, drink, or do.

When disciples of the Ask Dao Sect Daoist Sect travel to all corners of the country to carry out missions, they will always encounter local specialties and various novelties. After obtaining them, some choose to use them themselves, while others choose to take them to the market to exchange them for what they need.

"Also, Master is meditating peacefully, so don't go to his place recently," Yun Zhi instructed.

Lu Yang was confused. He hadn't planned to visit his master anyway, since his master would definitely come out in three days.

"Oh." In any case, listening to the senior sister is definitely the right thing to do.

Three days later, the market was held as scheduled, Ask Dao Sect set up an arena for its disciples to fight freely.

The arena is made of a special type of rock, making it indestructible. It is also encased in an array to ensure that the aftershocks of the battle will not affect the spectators.

At this moment, the two senior brothers fighting on the arena were both at the Golden Core stage. Their Golden Core were full and flawless, perfectly formed, and were clearly top-grade Golden Core that were sought after by outsiders.

"Shattering Moon Slash!" The Golden Core stage senior brother shouted, his broadsword like a crescent moon, driven by brute force, slashing down vertically, making Lu Yang's eyes twitch.

If Chief Chu had possessed the strength of this senior brother back then, they would likely have met with dire consequences.

Another Golden Core disciple, not to be outdone, emitted a golden light from his entire body, forming a thin golden film on his skin. "Buddhist Golden Body!"

Another senior disciple, having somehow acquired the Buddhist golden body technique and already achieving a minor level of mastery, managed to withstand the blow.

The two displayed superb swordsmanship and Law Technique, switching between them with ease. Lu Yang watched intently, as it was a rare opportunity to witness a battle between top-tier Golden Core stage experts.

In fact, Lu Yang had witnessed battles at an even higher level, where powerful cultivators fought against immortals.

Unfortunately, the senior sister's palm technique was too fierce, and the newly awakened Immortal Fairy was powerless to fight back. It was a one-sided battle, and Lu Yang learned nothing.

"The Immortal Fairy is unreliable," Lu Yang sighed. If he could learn even a move or two from his senior sister, wouldn't he be invincible among his peers?

"Wait, my senior sister seems to have taught me Shrinking Earth to an Inch and Samadhi True Fire."

"Kid, watch your mouth! What do you mean I can't be trusted!" The woman's voice echoed in Lu Yang's mind.

"Senior, you're awake?" Lu Yang asked in surprise. The Immortal Fairy had been asleep for several days; had she finally woken up?

"That's a comfortable way to address someone as 'senior'," the Immortal Fairy said lazily, sounding to Lu Yang like she was stretching.

"Let me tell you, I'm far from my prime right now and need to recover slowly. That Yun Zhi can only beat me now. Once I regain my strength, she wouldn't be able to beat me even if I gave her one hand," the Immortal Fairy said fiercely. She, Huang Doudou, was a legendary figure in High Antiquity times; how could she possibly be no match for a junior?

Lu Yang thought about it and felt that what the Immortal Fairy said made a lot of sense, "I will tell Senior Sister the truth."

"No, no, no, we can talk this over." The Immortal Fairy's tone softened instantly.

Lu Yang: "... Senior, can you really be relied on?"

Logically speaking, since he possesses the soul of High Antiquity immortal, he should be able to defeat any god or Buddha in his path, have endless fortuitous opportunity, level up as easily as drinking water, be invincible among his peers, and easily kill those of higher levels.

However, the way the Immortal Fairy acts always gives off a sense of unreliability; it would be better for her to cling to her senior sister's coattails.

"Ha. Who do you think I am? I am the Immortal Fairy Huang Doudou!"

"Why do I remember you referring to yourself as 'this one' before?" Lu Yang still remembered the arrogant and invincible Immortal Fairy from back then.

The Immortal Fairy paused for a moment, then said again, "I am the Immortal Fairy Huang Doudou... No, it's too awkward to call myself 'I'."

The Immortal Fairy explained, "Mainly because I heard from others that referring to oneself as 'this one' makes one seem very powerful. I had just woken up and my mind wasn't clear, so I wanted to try it out. Now I feel too uncomfortable with it, so I'll stick to referring to myself as 'I'."

Lu Yang asked curiously, "Who told you that?"

"There are cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage and even immortals. After finally reaching the highest level of cultivation, everyone tries to avoid fighting if possible. But how can we know who is strong and who is weak if we don't fight? So someone started it, speaking arrogantly and very bluffingly."

"Then everyone thought this way of speaking was good, and they kept saying things like 'I was born in response to Heaven,' 'Those who disobey this immortal shall be beheaded,' 'How dare a mortal defy an immortal,' and 'This immortal contains great power within me, do not force me to break the seal,' and so on."

"Let me think, who started it... Oh right, it was Ying Tianxian!"

"I found their way of speaking quite interesting at the time, so I wrote down everything they said and compiled it into a small booklet called 'The Sayings of Immortals.' I don't know where that book is now."

Lu Yang: "..."

He felt he had found the reason why the Immortal Fairy had been stabbed in the back.

"I'll show you some of my immortal abilities, so you won't think I got here by chance." The Immortal Fairy felt it necessary to demonstrate some of her true power so that Lu Yang would look up to her and treat her with more respect.

"Come on, hand over control of your body to me, and I'll let you experience what it's like to fight someone stronger than you."

This is the territory of the Ask Dao Sect, so Lu Yang is not worried that the Immortal Fairy will take the opportunity to seize his body and voluntarily relinquishes control of his body.

At this moment, the arena was empty. The Immortal Fairy controlled Lu Yang's body to leap onto the arena, clasped her hands and said, "Fellow elders and heroes, have I gained any insights from my cultivation today? I wonder if any senior brothers or sisters in the early Golden Core stage would like to come up and ask for my guidance?"

The Immortal Fairy explained to Lu Yang, "The High Antiquity geniuses all did the same thing as now, provoking everyone and building their reputation with their fists, laying the foundation for their invincible path. Today I will demonstrate for you, and you will learn from it!"

"I'll go!" A bald senior brother jumped onto the stage, his whole body radiating golden light of merit.

The Immortal Fairy gasped. A top-grade Golden Core, imbued with merit, possessed by an Arhat, and with the Limitless Golden Body at a minor stage—how could she possibly fight back?

"Change it, change it to another one."

The bald senior brother wasn't annoyed; he chuckled and jumped off the stage, while another Confucian senior brother jumped onto the stage.

The Confucian scholar, dressed in a long gray robe, held a bamboo book in his hand and wore a calm and unhurried smile.

The Immortal Fairy froze once more. Born a Confucian cultivator, blessed by a powerful being, wielding divine authority, and possessing a supreme treasure—how could she possibly fight this?

"Let's choose another one!" the Immortal Fairy said through gritted teeth.

"I'll go." The Confucian senior brother stepped down, and the honest-looking chubby senior brother stepped onto the stage.

The Immortal Fairy could tell at a glance that Senior Brother Pang had achieved the highest level of five-element cultivation, possessed great fortune, protected by his bloodline, and his Cultivation Method was top-notch, without the slightest flaw.

The Immortal Fairy then realized that she couldn't defeat any of the Golden Core cultivators present.
