That Bastard Yingtian Immortal
Unfortunately, some heavenly materials and earthly treasures have lost their medicinal properties and become ordinary products due to improper storage methods, while heavenly materials and earthly treasures have become far less valuable due to changes in the times.
For example, the Hehuan Powder has expired, and the price of Hualong Grass plummeted after the dragon race discovered a stable cultivation method two thousand years ago.
"It has archaeological value and commemorative significance, so it can be sold to the Dragon Clan Museum," Yun Zhi whispered. Wild, well-preserved dragon grass is extremely rare. She had been to the Dragon Clan Museum, but they did not have any wild dragon grass there.
"These junk things? When I was alive, I wouldn't even bother picking them up if they fell on the ground!" Huang Doudou said to Lu Yang with a disdainful look. "Wait until you find my treasure trove, then I'll show you what real treasure is!"
Lu Yang rolled his eyes, pretending not to hear what the Immortal Fairy said, and continued to search for treasures with his senior sister.
The Immortal Fairy stomped her foot in anger. In High Antiquity times, how many cultivators went bankrupt just to see me and hear me say a few words!
What I, the immortal, have spoken are divine words; you will benefit from them for a lifetime!
That kid is so ungrateful, I'm ignoring him!
Suddenly, Lu Yang flipped to a thick book with exquisite packaging. The book was made of soft material and was clearly not an ordinary item.
Perhaps this thick book was truly extraordinary, for the Blood Demon Venerable even added a note on its origin.
Lu Yang read aloud, "I obtained this Immortal Method from a black market stall. According to the stall owner, its origin, material, and contents are unknown, but what is certain is that it has a long history and is sealed by a powerful array, making it an artifact from High Antiquity times."
"I laugh at that shopkeeper for being ignorant of his own treasure, not realizing he possesses it. I strained my Heavenly Eye and saw that beneath the seal, in the signature area, there was the character 'Immortal.' This is more than just a High Antiquity artifact; it's an artifact from the High Antiquity. An immortal wrote this book, which could very well be a legendary Immortal Method!"
"Alas, alas, the High Antiquity seal is so powerful that I have spent my entire life trying to break it."
"Immortal Method!" Lu Yang exclaimed in surprise, his heart pounding wildly. He never expected that such legendary Immortal Method were hidden here. What a great fortuitous opportunity!
Moreover, it's such a thick book. Either the Immortal Method it records are too complicated, or it records several kinds of Immortal Method. No matter which possibility it is, it is extremely precious!
He tried to open the book, but as with the Blood Demon Venerable's message, he couldn't.
"Hmm? This thing looks familiar." The Immortal Fairy possessed strong willpower and ignored Lu Yang for a full twenty seconds.
"Have you seen the fairy? Can you break the seal?" Lu Yang asked.
"Naturally, this minor seal can be broken with a flick of the finger."
Following the method taught by the Immortal Fairy, Lu Yang carefully channeled his spiritual power into the seal and successfully broke it.
Lu Yang suppressed his excitement, opened the ancient book, and saw the author's name written in the lower right corner—Ying Tianxian.
"It really is a book written by an immortal!" Lu Yang was overjoyed. Ying Tianxian must be a reliable immortal. If the Five Immortals of High Antiquity are all like the Immortal Immortal, then wouldn't the High Antiquity be doomed?
Looking further up, I saw the book title: <The Complete Cooking Guide>
"Um?"
Lu Yang flipped through a few pages and found that the content was exactly the same as the book title, about how to cook various Demon Beast.
Screw your Immortal Method!
You are completely unreliable, Immortal Yingtian!
You're going to seal this thing up? What, are you afraid humans will eat the Demon Beast to extinction?
The Immortal Fairy noticed something amiss and frowned, saying, "Wait a minute, this immortal has tasted all the rare delicacies of Demon Beast and compiled my culinary experience into a book, which is my masterpiece. This book was written by me, so how did it become Ying Tian Xian's work?"
The Immortal Fairy gritted her teeth. "That bastard Ying Tianxian stole my works while I was dying?"
"So it was you who wrote it, that makes perfect sense now." Lu Yang suddenly realized.
"What did you say?" The Immortal Fairy's expression was unfriendly.
"Oh no, I mean Ying Tianxian must be bored and have nothing better to do than write her name in this kind of book."
The Immortal Fairy felt that Lu Yang was looking down on her. "You brat have no taste, looking down on my work. If you could learn this book, you'd be at least a Tribulation Transcendence stage spiritual chef. If this were out there, a whole bunch of people would be fighting over it, beating the dog brains out of their heads!"
"When I was cooking for the other four people, they felt they weren't good enough to eat my food and tried every possible excuse to avoid coming over!"
"Is it really because your cooking was so bad?"
"Nonsense! My cooking emits golden light, how could it possibly taste bad!"
The two, one human and one immortal, argued and bickered, eventually returning to the matter of Ying Tianxian. After discussing it for a long time, they still couldn't reach a conclusion. Lu Yang told his senior sister about it, but Yun Zhi just frowned and didn't say anything.
Meng Jingzhou found some Cultivation Method, some of which had been lost and others had been improved. Overall, the gains were considerable.
As Yun Zhi searched through the treasure, she revealed a surprised expression. "This is a cultivation manual for an Immaculate Immortal Body?"
Yun Zhi was surprised; she hadn't expected to find a cultivation manual for the Immaculate Immortal Body here, especially one Integrated Body Early Stage of the Integration Realm.
Cultivation techniques for immortal bodies are rare, and those suitable for the Ask Dao Sect are even rarer.
Lu Yang asked in the spiritual space, "Fairy, did you have immortal bodies back then? Could you become immortals?"
As far as Lu Yang knew, there were twenty types of immortal bodies in the world, which were even rarer than single Spirit Root. Each immortal body, after cultivating to the Body Integration Realm, would automatically form a [rule], which was terrifyingly powerful, unpredictable, and impossible to defend against.
Lu Yang heard that there were two immortal bodies in the sect: Tao Yaoye and her master, the Sixth Elder. Tao Yaoye had Ascension Immortal Body, and the Sixth Elder had a Pure Immortal Body.
At this moment, Huang Doudou was still immersed in anger over "that shameless Ying Tianxian stealing her copyright." Her anger came and went quickly. Huang Doudou was a magnanimous person, and when she heard Lu Yang's question, she quickly shifted her attention.
"Immortal bodies? We had immortal bodies back then, and their history is much longer than you imagine."
"The concept of the Immortal Body can be traced back to the most ancient times, when humans did not know how to cultivate and relied entirely on trial and error. Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation were all achieved step by step by the Immortal Body, relying on its unique characteristics."
"I only know one person who achieved immortality through a celestial body: the Nine-Headed Immortal. He is a formidable opponent, and his strength is on par with mine!" The Immortal Fairy's expression turned solemn when she mentioned the Nine-Headed Immortal, acknowledging his strength.
"Nine Heavens Immortal was the first among us to become an immortal. According to him, his immortal body greatly aided his ascension!"
Lu Yang then secretly asked, "Is Senior Sister a celestial being? What is her cultivation level?"
The Immortal Fairy chuckled, "Guess."
Lu Yang's face darkened, and I guessed.
"Lu Yang, after you return to the sect, give this cultivation experience to the Sixth Elder. This cultivation experience is most suitable for her."
"Yes."
The three returned to the Ask Dao Sect and reaped a rich reward.
Yun Zhi went to Prison Peak to interrogate and extract confessions from the Blood Demon Venerable, Meng Jingzhou returned to Body Refining Peak to cultivate, and Lu Yang went to Wuchen Peak, where the Sixth Elder resided, to deliver his cultivation insights.
There will be another update around 11 PM.
