Don't Tell Anyone You're Ever Eternal's Disciple When You're Out and About

Meng Jingzhou resisted the urge to unleash his "Single Curse Fist." Although he had been tricked once, he wouldn't go so far as to Curse someone to be single.

Immoral.

With Lan Ting voluntarily conceding defeat, the competition came to an end, leaving the cultivators below the stage looking as if they were still enjoying themselves.

Is this what a battle between geniuses looks like? It's not enough to watch!

"I'll never be ashamed to say I'm in the early stage of the Golden Core again. I feel like ten of me combined couldn't compare to them."

"Who says otherwise? When I formed my core, I thought I was a powerful Core Formation expert, someone of considerable influence. But after watching their battle, I think I should just go back and continue my cultivation."

Reaching the Golden Core stage in cultivation can ensure Lineage's prosperity for five hundred years and allow them to dominate even in small places. For example, in Yanjiang County, there are only three people at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, they excitedly pursued the formation of their core and eagerly participated in the Golden Core Appreciation Conference to make friends with fellow Daoists. In the end, their confidence was shattered by the battle fought by Lu Yang and the others.

Elder Kang had long anticipated that they would find the gap too large and be unable to accept it. "You don't need to belittle yourselves. Reaching the Golden Core stage already surpasses 99% of cultivators, and you are at the middle-third grade Golden Core stage, with the potential to reach the Nascent Soul. How can you deny yourselves because of a single battle?"

Yuan Zhi smiled wryly, "It's not that we deny ourselves, it's just that the gap between us is too big. We can't feel that we've already surpassed 99% of cultivators."

Old Master Kang shook his head. "You shouldn't compare yourselves to the disciples of the immortal sects, especially these five people today. There hasn't been a single genius like them in hundreds or thousands of years. Why are they all appearing in this era? Because they were born at the right time, able to stand out in the great struggle of the ages, and even become the protagonists who dominate the great era!"

Old Master Kang made himself very clear: your group is considered to be doing well among ordinary cultivators; there are plenty of them in the Central Continent. Lu Yang and his five companions are geniuses that appear only once in a thousand years; there's no comparison. Don't create trouble for yourself.

After Yan Shizi, Gu Qisheng, and the others were eliminated, they all observed the battle on the arena with shining eyes.

Everyone was under eighteen years old, yet they had not only formed their cores but could also challenge opponents of higher levels. In contrast, the others were still struggling to form their cores; the difference was obvious.

However, they were not discouraged. The gap between them was too large to inspire any competitive spirit. They simply felt that Lu Yang and the others were very powerful. By watching this battle, they realized their own shortcomings and resolved to continue their training when they returned.

Lu Yang hadn't paid attention to Meng Jingzhou's situation and was very surprised to hear that he was the first to finish the fight.

"How could you lose so quickly?"

Meng Jingzhou, his face dark, shooed Lu Yang away. "Get lost, get lost, don't bring this up with me, or I'll give you a set of 'single Curse punches'."

Lu Yang was not afraid of Meng Jingzhou's threats. With the protection of an immortal, how could he Curse by someone as insignificant as Meng Jingzhou?

As they were talking, Lanting walked over, holding a palm-sized tri-colored stone in her hand.

"What's this?"

Lan Ting laughed and said, "Senior Brother Lu Yang, have you forgotten? The first place reward is a Core Formation Spiritual Item, which can increase the probability of Core Formation by 50%."

Lu Yang had heard of such items; they were highly sought after by cultivators at the half-step Golden Core stage and the Void Core stage, and their prices were so high that they could empty their savings.

The Ask Dao Sect possesses everything, except for spiritual objects that can help one achieve the Core Formation stage.

This situation applies to the other four major immortal sects as well.

They're all geniuses; why would they need external help to reach the Core Formation stage?

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are the first and second place winners, and they will receive two Core Formation spiritual items and two Core Formation experience books.

"Lanting, you must be joking. What would Lao Meng and I do with this? Give it to the third and fourth place winners."

Lan Ting smiled as she put away the Core Formation spiritual item. It was one of her own Core Formation spiritual items, which she had brought out to tease Lu Yang. The real Core Formation spiritual items as rewards had already been given to the third and fourth place winners.

Bai Ming and Yan Tianzhi also came over and invited, "It's rare to see you all, shall we find a place to sit?"

"Okay," Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou agreed.

They were all disciples of the Five Great Immortal Sects, so they inevitably had to interact.

"The governor's subordinates recommended several restaurants to us; they are all very famous restaurants in the city, and these are temporary branches that have opened here."

Bai Ming led the four to a restaurant. It was a three-story building, temporarily constructed using Law Technique, but decorated like an old, thousand-year-old establishment, showing the care put into it.

When the waiter saw Bai Ming enter, he asked warmly, "Master, are you here to beg for alms?"

"... I came here to eat."

"Eating vegetarian food?"

Bai Ming angrily retorted, "I'm not a monk!"

The waiter recalled a rumor: there was a Cultivation Method circulating in the martial Cultivation Method world that used hair as weapons. Every single hair could be used as a weapon with immense power, but this Cultivation Method also had a flaw: once a hair was used, it would not grow back, and each hair used was one less available.

Someone found this Cultivation Method, mastered it, encountered a powerful enemy, fought it, lost all his hair, and became a monk.

Therefore, some people suspect that this Cultivation Method originated from Buddhism and was used to recruit people.

The waiter looked at Bai Ming with pity; he was yet another pitiful person who couldn't accept losing all his hair.

"Oh, right, here, you can use this for now." Seeing this, Lu Yang took out a wig and handed it to Bai Ming.

Since learning the Arhat Fist, Lu Yang has been stocking up on wigs, just in case. And now, he's putting them to use.

Bai Ming looked at the wig handed to him by the culprit, resisted the urge to pull out a gun and stab Lu Yang to death, and put on the wig with a sour expression.

Lu Yang's Arhat Fist technique wouldn't cause his hair to fall out and never grow back; he could just wear a wig for a month.

"Let me introduce you. This is Yan Tianzhi from the Zhenyu Sect. He's not much of a talker," Bai Ming said.

Yan Tianzhi nodded without saying a word.

He seemed to be a man of few words. Lu Yang greeted him, "My name is Lu Yang, I come from the Ask Dao Sect, and my master is the Silent Daoist."

"Meng Jingzhou, we've already crossed swords."

Upon hearing Lu Yang's background, Yan Tianzhi's eyes widened in shock. "It was you, Master! You killed my master!"

"My master killed your master?" Lu Yang's first reaction was disbelief. No matter how unreliable the Silent Daoist was, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Lan Ting coughed lightly and explained, "Yan Tianzhi has a stutter and speaks rather briefly. It's not what you think."

"Yan Tianzhi's master was the Sect Master of the Zhenyu Sect. When he was young, he had a very bad relationship with the Silent Daoist. When he learned that the Silent Daoist had become the sect leader of the Ask Dao Sect Master, he was indignant. He felt that the Silent Daoist was not worthy of becoming the sect Sect Master. He said that he would rather live eight thousand years less than let the Silent Daoist step down from the position of Sect Master."

They can live for eight thousand years Body Integration Realm.

"Isn't the current Sect Master your senior sister Yun Zhi? Yan Tianzhi's master felt he couldn't break his promise, so he erected a tombstone for himself. He buries himself in it when nothing's wrong, and climbs out when something happens, telling everyone he meets that he's dead."

Lu Yang: "..."

He remembered what his senior sister had said: when you're out in the world, don't say you're the disciple of the Silent Daoist, or you'll easily get into trouble.
