Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 31: Learn to apply

Yunzhi pinched Lu Yang's collar with two fingers and shook it in front of her eyes, but still didn't understand the principle, so she let him go back.

Lu Yang was also very puzzled. He followed the formulas and methods taught by the senior sister, but why were the two spells he performed completely different

“That doesn’t make sense.”

"Let me demonstrate it to you again." Yunzhi is a very responsible teacher. Her teaching level is quite average, but she is patient.

Yunzhi took out an hourglass, placed it upside down on the ground, then held Lu Yang's shoulders, and the two of them jumped through space together.

Lu Yang only felt a flash before his eyes, and he came to a strange space with colorful lights on both sides.

Lu Yang subconsciously wanted to touch the flowing light, but was stopped by Yun Zhi.

"That is a strange sight caused by the distortion of space. Not to mention you, even if a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage encountered it, he would be torn to pieces and his soul would be scattered."

Lu Yang was so scared that he retracted his hand suddenly.

The two stepped out of the space and saw a giant white snake wrapped around the mountain, swallowing the sun and the moon, refining the essence of heaven and earth. The snake's eyes were smart, and the two happened to fall into the giant python's mouth and entered its belly.

When the gastric juice was about to drip, Yunzhi took another step and came to the strange space.

Following Yunzhi's footsteps, Lu Yang saw bizarre and wonderful sights, a sea made of magma, a great practitioner who was suffering from a thunder tribulation, and a silent swordsman carrying a heavy broadsword...

These were places Lu Yang had never seen or heard of before. It was really hard for him to imagine that there were such strange people and sights in the world.

Finally, the two returned, Lu Yang was panting and still in shock.

"The places I took you to just now are all within the Daoist sect. You can go there on your own when you have the chance in the future."

The Dao Sect is too big and broad, and the areas outside the nine core mountains are still unknown to Lu Yang.

"Can you try casting the spell again?"

Yunzhi thought this might be different.

Meeting Yunzhi's expectant eyes, Lu Yang gritted his teeth and cast the spell again.

After a day of practice, Lu Yang finally learned how to sense the underground environment and how to avoid being stepped on after becoming smaller.

He never succeeded in shrinking the earth into an inch, but succeeded every time, becoming more and more skilled each time.

In the end, he didn't even need to use the mantra, he could cast the spell with just a thought, as if he had been immersed in this art for months or even years.

Lu Yang's original intention of learning the skill of shrinking the earth into an inch was to use magic to travel faster. Now that he has learned the magic of "shrinking the earth" to travel faster, it is in line with his original intention.

The method is hard to describe and the speed is a bit slow.

Seeing Lu Yang changing size at will, burrowing around in the soil, and having a lot of fun, Yun Zhi asked casually, "Junior brother, I heard that it was difficult for you to receive missions in the Mission Hall?"

"Yes, most tasks can only be completed at the Jindan stage and above, and there are very few tasks suitable for me." Lu Yang was considering staying in the mission hall for a few days to see if he could get a suitable task.

"What a coincidence. I had a meeting with the elders a few days ago, and someone said that there was a problem at the medicine garden. A mission was posted in the mission hall, but no one took it. I think you are a suitable candidate. You might as well go to the medicine garden and take a look."

Lu Yang knew that ever since his master went into seclusion, it was the senior sister who presided over the meetings on his behalf.

"What mission?" Lu Yang was puzzled. His expertise in the Wendao Sect was not outstanding, so what kind of mission was suitable for him to do, let alone a medicine garden that he knew nothing about.

He hasn't even learned all the knowledge to identify herbs.

"You'll know when you go there." Yunzhi didn't answer.

In Lu Yang's opinion, the Wendao Sect itself is a small world of immortal cultivation. Without leaving the mountain gate, one can find people to help with alchemy, refining equipment, and setting up formations... Most of the time, it can be self-sufficient.

Alchemy requires magical herbs. The Daodao Sect has a huge demand for alchemy and cannot always rely on purchasing from outside.

In order to solve the problem of elixir, a large medicine garden was opened up inside the Wendao Sect to grow herbs, and the Mission Hall also sent people to the medicine garden to help cultivate herbs.

Cultivating herbs requires professional knowledge, and Lu Yang knows nothing about it. He still can't even tell what kind of herbs and spirit beasts he eats every day, let alone cultivating herbs.

Lu Yang could smell the fragrance of the medicine garden from a long distance away. Unlike the fragrance from Danding Peak which might be poison, the fragrance here was the purest medicinal fragrance. If mortals smelled it for a long time, they would live longer and be free from illness and disaster.

An old man was lying at the entrance of the medicine garden, with a palm-leaf fan covering his face, dozing leisurely in a rocking chair.

"Uncle, is this the medicine garden?"

The old man drooped his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yang: "Who are you?"

"Lu Yang."

"I didn't ask your name, I asked your identity."

"The fourth disciple of the sect master, and the younger disciple of Senior Sister Yunzhi."

The old man didn't think much of what he heard at the beginning. The old man, the sect leader, had disappeared for ten years. Who cared about him? He should retire and stop taking up the position and letting Yunzhi do the work all day. What nonsense! He suddenly came to his senses when he heard the latter part.

The sect leader’s disciple means Yunzhi’s junior brother!

The old man stood up suddenly, his body was more agile than Lu Yang.

This is normal. In the world of immortal cultivation, one cannot judge a person's skills and age by appearance. When an old man and a child stand together, it is hard to tell who is the grandfather and who is the grandson.

No one in the world of immortal cultivation advocates respecting the elderly and loving the young. After all, it is possible that both the elderly and children are better fighters than you.

"So it was Yunzhi who introduced you. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The old man and Lu Yang were arm in arm, as close as brothers.

"We are all from the Daoist sect. You can just call me Lao Ba. I have the final say over this three-acre piece of land in the medicine garden."

Lu Yang suspected that Uncle Ba was taking advantage of him, but he had no evidence.

"What do Yunzhi want you to do here? Pick herbs? How old do you want? One thousand or two thousand?"

Seeing Uncle Ba like this, Lu Yang suddenly thought of the food that the senior sister prepared for him. Could it be that they were all one thousand or two thousand year old herbs picked from the medicine garden

A thousand-year-old medicinal herb is not just cabbage and is quite precious to the Wendao Sect.

No, no, the senior sister is a very frugal person, she would not waste the medicinal materials on herself.

Lu Yang asked politely, "Senior Sister said that the medicine garden issued a task a few days ago, but no one took it. I wonder what the task is?"

Uncle Ba suddenly realized that it was this task: "Do you know how to grow herbs?"

"Not at all." Lu Yang told the truth.

"Then I'll explain it to you briefly. The steps to grow herbs are quite complicated. One of the steps is to loosen the soil so that the roots of the herbs can better absorb the spiritual energy in the land and interact with the spiritual energy in the air."

"The loosening of the soil is usually done by a pair of silver-ringed earthworms."

"Some problems have occurred at their home recently, and no one is doing the work, so I issued a task to loosen the soil in the medicine garden. This requires the earth escape method, one of the Five Elements Taoism. There are many little guys who know the earth escape method, but they all think it is too troublesome and are unwilling to take it. Yunzhi happened to ask you to come."

“So what I’m going to do is…”

"Imitate the earthworms, burrow into the soil, and loosen the soil in the medicinal garden."

Lu Yang: “…”

Lu Yang suspected that the senior sister was playing a trick on him, but he still had no evidence.
