Who Let Him Cultivate?!

As Vice Sect Leader Liu stated, Ma Tianyang was gradually losing ground. His opponent was getting stronger and bolder, aiming to defeat him in one go.

Ma Tianyang was a talisman cultivator. The various talismans he drew were top-tier commodities, so prized that small clans would regard them as invaluable heirlooms, capable of delivering a fatal blow in a critical situation to save the family.

Unfortunately for Ma Tianyang, his opponent was a cultivator who could commander thunder. Loud and terribly fast, every thundering strike deftly disrupted Ma Tianyang’s talisman drawing rhythm, denying him the advantage of a talisman cultivator.

Just when the opponent thought the outcome was fixed and pressed his advantage, Ma Tianyang gave a mighty push with both palms. Countless dimly flashing talisman patterns assembled into an imposing mountain, suppressing the opponent.

His opponent was under the weight of the mountain, unable to mobilize even a fraction of his spiritual essence. His defeat came in a daze, “A Mountain- Sealing Talisman! This talisman can’t be stored on paper. It must be drawn on the spot. But even you need five minutes to draw it. Where did you find that time?”

Ma Tianyang sneered, “I’ve been drawing it all along. You just didn’t notice.”

“How could that be? Where did you draw it?”

Ma Tianyang pointed to his body, “Blood vessels.”

“While I was fighting with you, I kept adjusting the position of my blood vessels.”

“I@# ¥%…”

The Field Array of the Martial Arts Platform was comprehensive and user- friendly, including an automatic profanity filter, replacing any foul language with beeping noises for the spectators.

His opponent thought that after observing the ways of the Seek Dao Sect for so long, he was close to mastering them. He hadn’t expected to be so far off the mark.

Vice Sect Leader Liu’s eyes twitched. He hadn’t expected Ma Tianyang to pull such a trick and had overlooked it.

Blood contained spiritual essence, and adjusting the position of the blood vessels to create talisman patterns was feasible, even ingenious, without any loss of spiritual essence.

But seriously, who would think of drawing talisman patterns using blood vessels?

Vice Sect Leader Liu said nonchalantly, schooling Lu Yang, “Don’t learn this style of fighting. Tying knots in your blood vessels can cause blood clots.”

Lu Yang felt Vice Sect Leader Liu was overthinking. He heard that Senior Brother Ma Tianyang could even undo dead knots in blood vessels.

After the Nascent Soul Group ended, it was on to the final group, the Spirit Transformation Group.

This was the highest-level showdown of the exchange event. It was a rare opportunity to witness a duel between two cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage, with incredible benefits!

Representing the Seek Dao Sect in the Spirit Transformation Group was a senior from Elixir Cauldron Peak named Lu Wang, whom Lu Yang had not met before.

People around them whispered, “It’s Senior Brother Lu, we haven’t seen him in along time.”

“I heard that during his Golden Core formation, he failed three times. He wasn’t satisfied with his First-grade Golden Core.”

“Why is that?”

“He insists that a Golden Core is a type of elixir and that without elixir patterns and an elixir fragrance, it’s worthless. Hence, he constantly attempted to form a Golden Core that had the fragrance.”

“Did he succeed?”

“He did. Senior Brother Lu did succeed in forming a Golden Core with fragrance.”

“What’s so special about that Golden Core?”

“It smells particularly fragrant.”

Lu Yang asked his subordinate, “Little Liu, who do you think will win?” “Um?” Vice Sect Leader Liu thought he had heard wrong. What did this kid just call him?

Lu Yang explained casually, “Your portrayal in public is as my temporarily hired employee, and I am your boss. We need to keep up the act. If I show too much respect, it will seem fake. Our plan is on the verge of execution, we can’t slip up now!”

Vice Sect Leader Liu nodded, accepting Lu Yang’s point.

“Lu Wang has quite a reputation in the Spirit Transformation stage, and few are willing to face him. He practices a dual cultivation method of elixirs and poisons, with his poisons being stronger. Unfortunately for Lu Wang, he encountered an opponent who counters him.”

“I’ve heard of his opponent, who has lived in the Five Poisons Pit since childhood and has developed immunity to all kinds of poisons. Against such an opponent, Lu Wang’s skills are ineffective.”

On the Martial Arts Platform, Lu Wang was matches against a disciple from the Five Elements Sect. Initially, Lu Wang tried testing his opponent with Bone- Corrosive Toxic Smoke, but as Vice Sect Leader Liu said, the opponent was not afraid at all, and the smoke had no effect on him.

“This is going to be tough,” Lu Wang found this challenging.

His opponent sneered, “Lu Wang, just admit defeat. You’d win against anyone else but against me, you’re destined to lose!”

The fight at the Spirit Transformation stage was not limited to the ground. The combatants flew, burrowed, and had their rounds of victory and defeat. Lu Wang was at a disadvantage since his opponent was stronger.

Lu Wang took out an elixir for strength enhancement, which was allowed in the competition.

Just as he was about to consume it, his opponent snatched it away and swallowed it.

The opponent sneered, “You want to use an elixir? You’d have to get the chance to do so!”

As soon as the elixir entered his stomach, the opponent felt his strength draining rapidly.

“What’s happening!” The opponent was shocked. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Lu Wang punched him flying, “That’s the Ten-elephants Strength Pill. It gives the consumer the strength of ten elephants.”

“But it’s meant for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. In other words, you can only unleash the equivalent strength of ten Foundation Establishment stage elephants.”

“You &%*#…”

“You should be content. It’s a favor that I didn’t give you a libido-enhancing version of the Ten-elephants Strength Pill.” Lu Wang threw his opponent off the platform.

Following the Spirit Transformation Group, Vice Sect Leader Liu didn’t predict

a single of the four subsequent matches correctly.

It wasn’t that Vice Sect Leader Liu lacked insight. But the Spirit Transformation stage fighters from the Seek Dao Sect were too unpredictable.

Vice Sect Leader Liu took deep breaths to compose himself. It was nearly time to act, and he couldn’t allow his frustration to affect his mood.

He noticed everyone had taken their positions to form the “Dream Pillow Array” to maximize the effects of the Dream Pillow.

According to Fairy Eternity’s introduction, it was a sleep array she often used. It worked wonders.

Vice Sect Leader Liu heard the members of the Seek Dao Sect begin the closing remark, “The friendly exchange between the Seek Dao Sect and the Five Elements Sect has officially ended. We’re glad to have shared this wonderful time with everyone…”

Everyone’s attention was on the podium. It was the perfect time to act!

Vice Sect Leader Liu raised his hand and bellowed, “Attack!”

The Seek Dao Sect disciples hidden around heard the command and appeared to lunge at the top brass of the Eternity Sect.

They remembered Lu Yang saying that someone would give the order to attack.

They were to act as soon as they heard it.

Before, they had guessed who would give the order.

The mystery was now solved.

The disciples of the Seek Dao Sect saluted Vice Sect Leader Liu, who was still somewhat baffled, considering him a hero.

So Vice Sect Leader Liu was also one of our undercover agents, who had successfully risen to the position of Vice Sect Leader.
