The Fifth Elder's Wild Ideas

"It's a pity Lu Yang didn't learn my Fairy Fist Technique, otherwise he wouldn't have fainted." The Immortal Fairy thought Lu Yang was a good person in every way, except that he was too stubborn and unwilling to learn her fist technique.

"Fairy Fist Technique?" Yun Zhi repeated softly, put down her chopsticks, and revealed a look of great interest.

"It's also called a health-preserving martial art. Once you've mastered it, you can become medicine yourself. You won't need to take any pills when you're sick or practicing, and no poison in the world will have any effect on you."

"However, to learn the Fairy Fist, one must first learn over a thousand other fist techniques, such as the Arhat Fruit Fist, the Malva Nut Fist, and the Ginseng Fist, and integrate them, discarding the false and retaining the true, discarding the dross and keeping the essence. Using the body as a furnace, one can fuse over a thousand fist techniques into one, and that is the Fairy Fist."

Yun Zhi paused for a moment, then stood up and asked solemnly, "Senior, could you teach me?"

"Of course."

When Lu Yang woke up, he had already left the kitchen.

"Awake? How are you feeling?"

Lu Yang thought to himself, "I'm so spicy I'm practically fainting, and you're still asking how it is?"

"My cultivation level..."

Lu Yang had only been moving around for a short while when he discovered that his cultivation level had actually improved slightly, from the early stage of the Golden Core to the middle stage of the early Golden Core.

He didn't do anything.

"Hehe, you think I just made a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Impossible! I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes that can enhance your cultivation!"

"You feel your cultivation hasn't improved much because you only ate one bite. If you finish the whole plate, I guarantee you'll advance to the late Golden Core!"

Lu Yang felt that although his cultivation progress was slow, it was safe.

If we follow the Immortal Fairy's theory, Lu Yang fears he might ascend to immortality after eating the entire plate.

Outside the cave abode Meng Jingzhou shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lu Yang, are you awake yet?"

"I'm awake." Lu Yang stepped out of the cave abode, the glaring sunlight making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Standing in front of the cave abode entrance were Meng Jingzhou, Li Haoran, and Qin Yanyan.

When Meng Jingzhou saw Lu Yang wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You're finally awake! You've been in a coma for three months!"

Lu Yang was shocked, not expecting the Immortal Fairy's poison to be so potent.

Li Haoran said helplessly, "Senior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Lu only slept for two hours."

"Hey, Junior Brother Li, that's not right of you. Do you know how hard it was for me to successfully deceive Lu Yang? And you expose me like that."

Qin Yanyan silently observed this scene, wondering if Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, these two exceptionally talented individuals, had honed their skills by incorporating scheming and deception into their lives.

Very likely.

"Let's go, let's go find the Fifth Elder together. Once the Fifth Elder joins our Heavenly Court Sect, he'll be a veteran!"

With Li Haoran leading the way, the group quickly found the Fifth Elder, who was refining a weapon.

The Fifth Elder threw his Daoist robe into the fire to undergo the test of the flames. When the robe was burning red-hot, the Fifth Elder reached out and took it out of the fire, his face expressionless throughout the entire process.

The Fifth Elder took out a small hammer from his waist and tapped it against his coat, then put it into the water. With a sizzling sound, it marked the end of the weapon forging process.

The Fifth Elder looked at the newly refined Daoist robe with satisfaction, and casually put it on. Only then did he notice Lu Yang and the others watching from a distance.

"It's Xiao Lu."

"Fifth Elder, are you making clothes?" Lu Yang was somewhat uncertain. The process just now didn't seem like making clothes, but rather like making some kind of metal magic Law Artifact.

"I'm trying to combine clothing and transportation."

"Combined?" Everyone was puzzled. Were these two things related?

"How can there be no connection?" The Fifth Elder, a grandmaster of weapon crafting, clarified the matter for everyone on the spot.

"So-called means of transportation, whether it's a horse-drawn carriage or a flying boat, are all tools to make your travels convenient, right?"

"Carriages, flying boats, and flying swords all have one thing in common: they can carry us."

"If that's the case, why have we been neglecting the most common thing that carries our bodies—clothes?"

Lu Yang thought about it and realized that it really made sense. Clothes are worn on the body; from another perspective, aren't clothes just clothes covering their bodies?

People are the carriers of clothing.

"Therefore, I believe that clothing is the most suitable means of transportation, as you can see."

The Fifth Elder channeled his Law Power, and the Daoist robe he had just crafted flew upwards, carrying him along with it.

The Fifth Elder circled in the air once, landed safely, and continued to speak to the crowd, "Under normal circumstances, only those in the Golden Core stage can fly on their own. The exception is sword cultivators, who can travel by sword even in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"If Foundation Establishment Realm sword cultivators can fly on swords, why can't ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators fly on their clothes?"

"Of course, my current method of refining clothes is too complicated for the Foundation Establishment Realm to master. Once I refine and simplify it, register a patent, and promote it in the cultivation world, wouldn't countless riches flow into my Refining Peak?" The Fifth Elder spoke with great enthusiasm. Only when the Refining Peak is rich will they buy more materials and refine better Law Treasure.

"Fifth Elder is truly talented!" Lu Yang said sincerely, finding it very feasible.

The Ask Dao Sect possesses countless Spirit Stones, thanks to the extraordinary talents in weapon crafting and alchemy such as the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder. Their weapon crafting skills, in particular, are highly regarded in the cultivation world.

"And who is that little girl?" the Fifth Elder asked, pointing at Qin Yanyan.

"This is Junior Brother Li's ex-wife's daughter," Lu Yang explained.

The Fifth Elder was startled. When did his disciple get married?

"She's my wife's daughter from my past life!" Li Haoran quickly added.

The Fifth Elder suddenly realized, "Oh, Qin Yanyan, right? Haoran mentioned you. So, you're my grand-disciple."

Qin Yanyan: "..."

She somewhat regretted coming to the Ask Dao Sect. She was the youngest in terms of seniority here, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou never mentioned her as their niece. Now she had become someone else's grand-disciple.

Just as Qin Yanyan was about to say that the past life is the past life and the present life is the present life, and that they should not confuse them, she saw the Fifth Elder take out a Law Treasure from his bosom.

"Since it's our first meeting, it's only proper to give each other something. I don't have anything particularly good on hand, but since you seem to be a talisman cultivator, here's a talisman-making brush for you. It contains eighteen common talismans, which can be drawn instantly by activating your magic Law Power. It should be of some help to you."

Qin Yanyan was startled by the power of the Law Artifact. The talisman-making pen was an essential magic Law Treasure for talisman cultivators. She had one, which contained ten kinds of talismans. It was made for her by a renowned weapon-refining master at Su Yiren's request. The weapon-refining master also said that Golden Core level talisman-making pen could only inscribe a maximum of ten kinds of talismans.

"This... this is too precious, I can't accept it."

"Take it. It's just a little trinket I made in my spare time. It's not worth much," the Fifth Elder said generously.

Li Haoran looked at Qin Yanyan with a sour expression. Why was his master's first meeting with Qin Yanyan a gift, while his first meeting with him was throwing him into lava?

"Oh right, what do you want from me?" The Fifth Elder suddenly remembered that Lu Yang and his group must have something to discuss with him.

"Here's the thing, we've established a Heavenly Court Sect with a profound foundation, inheriting the legacy of High Antiquity immortals, receiving assistance from powerful Aristocratic Clan, having members who were once at the half-step Tribulation Transcendence stage, and having someone who is the first in line to succeed the Nine Nether Sect. We would like to ask the Fifth Elder to become the protector of our Heavenly Court Sect."
