At Last, He Found the One Who'd Sold Him Fake Exam Questions
After Lu Yang returned to the Ask Dao Sect, the Immortal Fairy reclaimed his body and took over the sect's affairs.
The Ask Dao Sect has various matters to handle every day, but the visit of the Five Elements Sect is of great importance, so it was given priority. Now that the tasks have been assigned, it's time to deal with ordinary issues.
The Immortal Fairy sat in the Sect Master's seat, feeling quite pleased with herself. "Let's see what matters require my decision."
"The Great Xia Dynasty strongly condemns the Ask Dao Sect's habit of indiscriminately building tombs. The Ask Dao Sect's Grand Elder has repeatedly built tombs outside the Ask Dao Sect's premises, disrupting the Great Xia Dynasty's archaeological work."
The following details the events, stating that an old farmer accidentally discovered a tomb. After the imperial court sent people to investigate, they concluded that the tomb was of ancient style, likely built during the Great Yu Dynasty, and that the builder was a cultivator at the Body Integration Realm.
As archaeological work continues, the artifacts found in the tomb have refreshed people's understanding and overturned their perception of the tombs of the Dayu Dynasty, making it a major discovery.
After a long period of digging, the Great Xia finally brought the tomb back to light, and then they saw the Great Elder sleeping in the coffin.
After all that effort, it turned out that the Grand Elder had built the tomb in violation of regulations, and even modeled it after the style of the Great Yu Dynasty. The Great Xia Dynasty was furious.
"The earthworm couples in the herb garden split into two groups, believing that the four of them are independent individuals and cannot be bound by their original relationships. The four of them want to get married at the same time, with the males on one side becoming the first husband and the second husband, and the females on the other side becoming the first wife and the second wife. The four of them want to hold a grand wedding in the herb garden?"
"Hiss--"
The Immortal Fairy leaned back slightly. "Are all earthworms playing these days this elaborate?"
The earthworms of High Antiquity times never did anything like this.
The Immortal Fairy temporarily set aside the matter of the earthworms and looked at other documents. "The Azure-Eyed Water Buffalo Clan proposes that, given the current dangerous state of the world, even returning home to visit relatives could lead to encounters with vicious people. They hope to refine the 'Power of the Third Elder' pill to summon the Third Elder in critical moments and resolve the danger."
Let's try another one.
"The sect disciples jointly suggested restricting the Third Elder's behavior. The mountains all have owners; they shouldn't be moved around for the sake of physical exercise."
Lu Yang had heard about this. The Third Elder liked to move mountains when he exercised. If it were just moving mountains, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem was that the Third Elder couldn't remember where the mountains were located. After moving them, they wouldn't be restored. Many disciples went out to complete missions and found their homes gone when they returned.
"Huh? Elixir Cauldron Peak claims to have found a way to communicate over long distances." The Immortal Fairy exclaimed as if she had found a treasure.
The Immortal Fairy was astonished by the creativity of Elixir Cauldron Peak. In High Antiquity times, only powerful cultivators possessed the means to achieve communication regardless of distance. Had Elixir Cauldron Peak found a way to popularize this technology?
Elixir Cauldron Peak wrote down their proposed plan.
"First, refine two Lovesick Moon Pills."
Lu Yang remembered that when the ginseng doll introduced the Love-Longing Grass to him, it briefly mentioned this thing. The Love-Longing Moon Pill allows two lovers to communicate regardless of time and space.
"Then refine two Heartbreak Pills. The Heartbreak Pill can force two people to fall in love. As long as they take the Heartbreak Pill and the Lovesick Moon Pill, they can communicate from a distance."
"After the contact ended, Elixir Cauldron Peak initially developed a potion called 'Forget-Me-Not Water,' which, when taken, can counteract the effects of the Heartbreak Pill."
Immortal Fairy: "..."
Lu Yang: "... A genius!"
Lu Yang felt that there was a reason why the alchemy community did not recognize Elixir Cauldron Peak. With your unscrupulous research methods, it would be a miracle if they recognized your position!
The Immortal Fairy gave a unified instruction on these issues. "Read."
"... And the reply?" Lu Yang complained.
"I just don't know how to solve this." The Immortal Fairy looked troubled. She was not good at solving problems, let alone solving the problems of the Ask Dao Sect.
She had her own way of thinking, "Think about it, these things aren't urgent. After three days, it will be Yun Zhi's turn to face these problems, and then I won't have to worry about them."
Lu Yang felt there was a grain of truth in what the Immortal Fairy said, "Fairy, have you forgotten something?"
"What?"
"Our senior sister has been standing behind us the whole time."
The Immortal Fairy broke out in a cold sweat, only then remembering that Yun Zhi had been there the whole time, just without saying a word.
She felt like she was being stared at by a pair of cold eyes and didn't dare to turn around.
"Sect Master, Meng Jingzhou has something to tell me outside the door!" the owner of the cold-eyed man suddenly said, his expression unreadable.
The Immortal Fairy trembled slightly in fright, but remembering that she was the Sect Master, she felt a little relieved and said, "Let him in."
Meng Jingzhou angrily dragged someone in; it was none other than the Eighth Elder.
Seeing this, Lu Yang regained control of his body, crossed his legs, and asked, "Oh, it's Xiao Meng."
Lu Yang said kindly, "Xiao Meng, don't be afraid. If you encounter any problems or troubles, you can tell me. As an elder, it's only right for me to help the younger generation."
Meng Jingzhou's eye twitched, thinking to himself, "Lu Yang, you've really gotten something out of you. Just wait and see when I'll get my hands on Sect Master experience voucher too."
Meng Jingzhou heard that Lu Yang was able to exchange for Sect Master experience voucher because he had found the Silent Daoist who had been missing for ten years.
Then he could seal the Silent Daoist away, preventing him from causing trouble in the outside world.
Reducing a major scourge in the cultivation world should yield a massive amount of contribution points.
However, the situation is pressing now, and it's not the time to argue with Xiao Lu.
"I'm going to sue the Eighth Elder," Meng Jingzhou said confidently.
The Eighth Elder explained, feeling that Meng Jingzhou had misunderstood him. "Nephew, this is all a misunderstanding. I didn't know it was you at first."
"What happened to the Eighth Elder?" Lu Yang wasn't very familiar with the Eighth Elder.
"Don't you remember when we first met, I told you I'd managed to buy the true test Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect?"
Lu Yang nodded. He remembered it clearly. At first, Meng Jingzhou didn't say he had obtained the exam questions in the carriage. Later, when the senior sister also got on the carriage, Meng Jingzhou, blinded by lust, betrayed his principles and claimed that he had obtained the exam questions.
The two of them even discussed how to pass the test in front of their senior sister, but fortunately, she didn't hold it against them.
Later they learned that Meng Jingzhou had indeed obtained the exam questions, but they were from twenty years ago.
Meng Jingzhou pointed at the Eighth Elder: "It was him! He patted his chest and told me back then that these were the real exam questions, and he tricked me out of a lot of Spirit Stone!"
In an instant, the eyes of the three senior sisters, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou were focused on the Eighth Elder.
Yun Zhi knew the Eighth Elder's character and had long suspected that he was behind it, but she had no evidence.
The Eighth Elder calmly replied, "You can't say that. Didn't I sell you the real exam questions?"
"Do you know how many people wanted to buy this past exam paper from me twenty years ago, but I refused to sell it!"
