The Immortal Fairy's Trial
Lin Shaoyou said solemnly, "I think the Ask Dao Sect is a good place. The brothers and sisters in the Ask Dao Sect get along harmoniously without any barriers, which I really admire. I am willing to join the Ask Dao Sect!"
Qiu Jinan was almost angered by Lin Shaoyou. He pointed at Lin Shaoyou, trembling, and it took him a long time to utter a single sentence.
"You wicked disciple!"
Lin Shaoyou turned to Qiu Jinan and said, "Master, didn't you just say that cultivators don't care about face?"
"You get back here right now!" Qiu Jinan roared in fury.
"Oh."
Lin Shaoyou stood obediently behind Qiu Jinan, exchanging glances as they passed each other.
"Master, was my acting alright?"
"You overacted a bit; you need more practice."
Qiu Jinan coughed, gradually calming down. "Since Shaoyou doesn't want to participate in the competition, we as elders can't force him to go, right?"
Lin Shaoyou suggested not to compete with Yun Zhi, so Qiu Jinan naturally said that they should continue according to the Ask Dao Sect's plan.
Having a legitimate reason won't make you lose face.
As the eldest disciple, Lin Shaoyou often had the experience of taking bullets for his master.
This time, Qiu Jin'an planned to take on the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect from top to bottom. Therefore, he brought along his personal disciples from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Spirit Transformation stage, all of whom were outstanding individuals and confident that they were invincible in their respective realms.
"Second Elder, stay away from her!" Qiu Jin'an noticed the Second Elder still pestering her, grabbed Shangguan Yu's small hand, pulled her over, and protected her.
"Jin'an, Xiao Ba means me no harm."
Qiu Jinan glared. "Then there's even more of a problem!"
Without saying a word, Qiu Jin'an pulled Shangguan Yu along and led the Five Elements Sect members to the martial arts arena. After briefly arranging the order of appearance, they returned to the stands.
At this moment, the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect gathered around the martial arts training ground, all with smiles on their faces. They were all there to watch the excitement. Lu Yang hadn't expected the Ask Dao Sect to have so many disciples.
Restaurants and other establishments located within the Ask Dao Sect discovered a business opportunity, selling viewing spots or carrying large boxes to hawk fruits and vegetables; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were making a fortune every day.
On the stands, the Immortal Fairy and Qiu Jin'an sat side by side, while Yun Zhi, the Grand Elder, Shangguan Yu, Lin Shaoyou, and others sat on either side.
Inside the spiritual space, Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy were discussing a matter of life and death.
"Fairy, have you ever thought about being killed by Senior Sister and then being resurrected hundreds of thousands of years later?"
"Huh? Why are you being so cruel to me?!" The Immortal Fairy was extremely surprised, not feeling that she had done anything wrong.
"Wait, are you angry because I didn't teach you High Antiquity cooking techniques? Let me tell you, these techniques cannot be passed on lightly."
"We are not in a master-disciple relationship. Passing on knowledge, imparting skills, and resolving doubts is a very serious matter and cannot be done casually!"
Lu Yang thought to himself, "Fairy, where do you get the nerve to think your cooking is so good? Is it because you didn't poison the Four Immortals of High Antiquity?"
He wore a pained expression. "Fairy, think about it, since you became the acting Sect Master, how much hatred have you stirred up for me? Even if I were made of iron, I couldn't withstand it!"
Lu Yang was certain that those Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation stage senior brothers and sisters who were challenged by the Immortal Fairy beyond their level would be wielding weapons to teach him a lesson after today.
The Immortal Fairy then realized how much trouble her playfulness had caused Lu Yang, but she was unwilling to admit her mistake. "How can this be called attracting hatred? This is a test from the immortals for you. Once you pass my test, you will receive my inheritance."
If it were the inheritance of Ying Tianxian, Lu Yang would be tempted, but he doubted whether learning the inheritance of the Immortal Fairy would lower his intelligence.
"This is the inheritance of immortals; countless people would love to obtain it."
"What's in your legacy?" Lu Yang asked the Immortal Fairy with suspicion.
"There are many more. Spatial Law Technique like Shrinking the Earth to an Inch and Reaching the Ends of the Earth in an Inch need not be mentioned; you've already learned those."
"Besides that, I can also teach time-related Law Technique!"
Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. Time-related Law Technique were the most precious Law Technique; even the Ask Dao Sect's Scripture Depository had only a few copies. The Immortal Fairy was indeed quite something.
"This Law Technique is called the Feign Death Spell. Casting this spell will make you look like a dead person from the inside out. You can also adjust time at will and control the rate of decomposition of the corpse, ensuring that no one can tell the difference!"
"What do you do when you can't beat an enemy? Just play dead!" The Immortal Fairy seemed very experienced, having probably played dead countless times before.
Lu Yang suspected that he was being assimilated by the Immortal Fairy, and actually found her to be quite reliable.
"And then there's the Water Avoidance Technique, which allows you to freely enter and exit lakes and oceans!"
Lu Yang's interest was piqued again. Many powerful figures had perished in the battles, and their remains and belongings had fallen into the lakes and oceans. It could be said that the lakes and oceans were natural treasures, and if one could go down into them, there might be a great harvest.
"However, remember to use the water-repelling spell quickly, as there is a time limit."
What time limit?
"My water-repelling technique is very comprehensive. It can not only dispel the water around you, but also repel the water inside your body. If you use the water-repelling technique for a long time, you might die of dehydration."
Lu Yang: "... Your legacy is better left to gather dust."
"Hey, how could you do this?!" The Immortal Fairy stomped her foot in anger.
Outside, Qiu Jin'an turned his head, interrupting the conversation between the two, and asked the Immortal Fairy, "Sect Master Lu seems to know a lot about High Antiquity matters. I have some questions. May I ask Sect Master Lu for guidance?"
Qiu Jinan did not look down on Lu Yang because of his young age. Since the other party was the acting Sect Master, Lu Yang should be treated as an equal.
The Immortal Fairy thought Qiu Jin'an's attitude was good, "Okay, but after I answer your question, you have to tell me where you got the book by Ying Tianxian."
Lu Yang understood what the Immortal Fairy meant. The existence of the Book of the Celestial Immortal indicated that the place was a High Antiquity ruin, and she wanted to find clues about her and the High Antiquity times there.
"Okay," Qiu Jinan agreed.
"I have heard that in High Antiquity times there was a divine being who, after having his head cut off, did not die, and used his own breasts as eyes and his navel as a mouth."
"There is such a person."
"I wonder, did he wear a shirt?" Qiu Jinan was very interested in these kinds of High Antiquity legends.
The Immortal Fairy thought for a moment and said, "He usually doesn't wear it, he's shirtless, but that does cause him some trouble."
"For example, some large tribes are quite particular about their attire. People who are not properly dressed are not allowed to enter. If someone is shirtless, like a savage, they cannot enter. But if they are dressed, they are considered masked robbers and are also not allowed to enter. This puts them in a dilemma."
"Later, he got smarter and put a fake head on himself and dressed him up so that no one could recognize him. But one day, he put his head on backward, which scared the people around him. They thought he had been twisted in the neck and turned into a zombie, wandering the streets."
