The Dao Fruits of the Ninefold Immortal and the Qilin Immortal

"Junior Brother Lu, there's a letter of thanks for you." Ten days later, a senior brother on duty in the mission hall delivered a letter to Lu Yang, who was at that moment absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate.

Lu Yang opened it and found it was written by Master Song.

The letter mainly thanked Lu Yang for his help in resolving the issue of the washerwoman and putting the Song family's business back on track.

The letter also mentioned the matter of his youngest daughter and Zhou Lang. Master Song said that after investigation, Zhou Lang was his biological son, and his youngest daughter, Song Lian'er, was actually the steward's daughter.

As for what exactly happened that led to this situation, Master Song did not elaborate in his letter. Lu Yang guessed that the midwife had switched the babies during childbirth.

Lu Yang silently put the letter away. The Song family's relationships were complicated and gave him a headache.

"This is nothing. In High Antiquity times, everything was based on tribes and Lineage, and the relationships were much more complex than this."

"Which tribe are you from, fairy?" Lu Yang asked casually, but to his surprise, the immortal fairy remained silent for a long time.

"... Let's not talk about that small tribe. It was gone before I even came of age. It was a war between a human and a beast that affected the tribe." The Immortal Fairy muttered softly, no longer as lively as before.

Lu Yang also fell silent. He didn't know what to say at this moment, as saying the wrong thing might backfire.

Before the era of the Five High Antiquity, it was not a peaceful time; small tribes were often crushed.

"Junior brother, come here for a moment."

Fortunately, the senior sister's telepathic message broke the silence at that moment.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Lu Yang went to find his senior sister. She rarely sought him out for anything. Could it be that their master had been arrested again and needed a guarantor to help him get released on bail?

Or is it that Master has been arrested again and needs to be visited in prison, but Senior Sister is too embarrassed to go and wants to go instead?

Could it be that Master has finally been captured by his enemies, beaten to the point of near death, and is on the verge of death, and he is being sent to rescue someone?

"Wait for the others to arrive."

Not long after, the others mentioned by the senior sister arrived at Heaven Gate Peak one after another: Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, and Li Haoran.

"Hello, Senior Sister."

The four of them arrived at Heaven Gate Peak one by one and greeted their senior sister respectfully.

"That's right, the Five Great Immortal Sects have a tradition of exchanging disciples. This time, disciples from the Ask Dao Sect can go to the Five Elements Sect to study. There are five spots available, so it's perfect for the five of you to go."

Originally, disciples of the Ask Dao Sect could go to the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace to study, but Palace Master Luo was adamant and refused to let Lu Yang go to the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, so the eldest senior sister had no choice but to change to the Five Elements Sect.

"Go to the Five Elements Sect?" Upon hearing this good news, Lu Yang and the others couldn't help but smile, their eyes revealing joy.

They had never been to any other immortal sects.

Meng Jingzhou was also very happy, he didn't expect to be able to go to the Five Elements Sect again so soon.

Qiu Jinan used Meng Jingzhou's body to deliver a "Single Curse Fist" to Grandpa Ba, and promised to teach Meng Jingzhou a Five Elements Law Technique. Four months ago, Meng Jingzhou went to the Five Elements Sect to learn a Five Elements Law Technique from Qiu Jinan. The spell was extremely powerful, but he had never had the chance to use it on Lu Yang.

"So who is it that has come to our sect to study this time?"

"The Buddhist and Zen traditions of the Hanging Temple"

Lu Yang had heard of Shi Chan's name before. It was said that he was still slaughtering pigs at the slaughterhouse, but he wondered how it was going.

"Then get ready, we'll depart in two days."

"Who is our team leader?" Lu Yang asked. Logically, someone should be leading the team. It wouldn't be right to send five juniors to the Five Elements Sect.

"The First Elder hasn't returned since he impersonated Master and went out last time. The Second Elder volunteered to go to the Five Elements Sect, but the Five Elements Sect disagreed."

"Due to unresolved issues from earlier years, the remaining elders are afraid to go alone as they fear retaliation."

"So you didn't bring any elders with you when you went to the Five Elements Sect this time?"

Lu Yang: "..."

Why does this trip to the Five Elements Sect feel so dangerous?

They won't go in standing up and come out lying down, will they?

"It's alright, I've been to the Five Elements Sect before, I'll lead you." Meng Jingzhou immediately stepped forward to take responsibility when he saw an opportunity to be the team leader.

Lu Yang glanced sideways at Meng Jingzhou, thinking this bastard was trying to use this opportunity to mess with him, "Are you reliable?"

"More reliable than you."

"Okay."

Lu Yang didn't argue with Meng Jingzhou, since there was no one else who could lead the team anyway.

"The Five Elements Sect's Five Elements philosophy has some merit; you can learn from it when you go there," the eldest sister instructed the five.

All five answered in unison.

"The Five Elements, huh? So, it seems the Dao Fruit of a Nine-Level Immortal is somewhat related to the Five Elements."

What kind of Dao Fruit is the Ninefold Immortal?

"The Yin-Yang Dao Fruit represents the extremes of the world, such as extreme heat and extreme cold, rapid speed and stillness, strong and weak, etc. It is very complex to use and cannot be explained in just a few words."

"What about the Dao Fruit of the Qilin Immortal?"

"The Dao Fruit of Survival of the Fittest can be simply understood as: any move used on a Qilin Immortal cannot be used a second time. For example, if you use the Palm of Heaven and Earth move on him, slamming him to the ground or sucking him into your palm, his Dao Fruit will quickly adapt to this move, and you will be unable to harm him when you use this move again."

"Once, the Nine Heavens Immortal used the hottest flames in the world to scorch the Qilin Immortal. The Qilin Immortal screamed in pain. The next time this move was used, the Qilin Immortal was able to dance and bathe in the sea of fire."

"Did the Qilin Immortal win?"

"No, the Nine Heavens Immortal recorded the Qilin Immortal taking a bath and used it to blackmail him into surrendering."

Lu Yang: "..."

Why is it that the way you immortals win battles is different from what I imagined?

"Is it alright for the Qilin Immortal to eat the food you cooked?"

Doesn't this mean that Qilin Immortal became immune after being poisoned by the Immortal Fairy once?

The Immortal Fairy was completely baffled by the question, "What do you mean, 'whether it's something or not'? You mean he'll get tired of my cooking? No way! As a celestial chef, I strive for innovation in my cooking; I always prepare different dishes each time!"

Lu Yang felt that Fairy, you would actually be happier if you didn't innovate on the Qilin Immortal.

"There's one more thing. I remember that when the prodigies of the Dragon and Phoenix clans were vying for the position of immortal, they lost to the Qilin Immortal. Is there a fixed number of people who can become immortal?" This has always been a question on Lu Yang's mind. Is it necessary to compete for immortality? What were those people in High Antiquity times fighting for?

"No, it's just that the Dao Fruits of those two little girls conflict with those of the Qilin Immortal."

"Conflict?"

"The two of them have Dao Fruit prototypes, one called the Dao Fruit prototype of natural selection and the other called the Dao Fruit prototype of survival of the fittest. The rules represented by these two Dao Fruit prototypes are very similar to those of the Qilin Immortal, right?"

"Just as there can only be one Immortal Dao Fruit, as long as I am here, no nascent Immortal Dao Fruit can become a true Dao Fruit."

"Only one Dao Fruit of similar rules can be produced."

"Of the three, only one is destined to become an immortal; the other two will at most be demigods, infinitely close to immortals."
