Who Let Him Cultivate?!

The medicinal garden lacked everything, everything but soil. Especially for them, the Little Medicinal Kings, who all used the precious soil that couldn’t be bought with a mountain of gold.

“Wait for me.” The Ginseng Doll dropped this phrase before quickly running into the wooden house. There was the sound of rummaging before it came out holding four iron shovels.

“The four of us will dig for some rare soil, to see which one Lu Yang will use.” It kept one shovel for itself and divided the remaining three shovels amongst the three Little Medicinal Kings.

The four Little Medicinal Kings scattered, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only the Enlightenment Tree, Lu Yang, and Fairy Eternity.

The Ginseng Doll was the first to return, its roots cupping a pile of dark, black soil: “Here, this is black soil, do you want it?”

Lu Yang had often heard of this kind of soil. It was a soil that could nourish any spiritual plant to thrive. The lands cultivated by the Green-eyed Buffalo people were made up of this black soil.

“This isn’t the black soil you see outside. This is the source of the black soil. It can be used for cultivation, and also for improving the quality of the surrounding soil, turning it into black soil.”

“What you see outside is black soil that has been assimilated by the source soil, or you could say what you see are derivatives of the black soil. These derivatives have a limit in terms of cycles and time. After a few uses, they will degrade back to their original soil state. What I have in my hand is the real black soil; it never changes.” The Ginseng Doll looked quite pleased. This was their favorite kind of soil among the Little Medicinal Kings.

“It’s that amazing?” Lu Yang grabbed a handful, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth. He opened his mouth and swallowed the black soil.

The Ginseng Doll and Enlightenment Tree were stunned, staring wide-eyed. They were still pondering how Lu Yang was going to cultivate with the soil; had he just eaten it directly?

“How does it feel? How does it feel?” Fairy Eternity asked hastily.

Lu Yang smacked his lips, savoring the sensation: “Nothing’s changed. My cultivation level hasn’t increased, the speed of spiritual essence within my body hasn’t changed, my strength did not increase, my agility did not improve, my spiritual sense strength hasn’t changed.”

“Maybe the amount wasn’t enough, eat some more?” Fairy Eternity suggested.

Lu Yang thought it made some sense. He quickly consumed all the black soil the Ginseng Doll had brought, even going so far as to complete a full cycle of his cultivation method: “Still no change.”

Fairy Eternity pondered carefully before analyzing: “It’s possible that the black soil’s function is to improve talent, for example allowing someone with Three Spirit Roots to become someone with Dual Spirit Roots, and someone with Dual Spirit Roots to become someone with a Single Spirit Root. You already have a Single Spirit Root, the best possible talent, there’s no room left for improvement.”

Lu Yang looked suspiciously at Fairy Eternity: “Fairy, have you ever eaten it?”

“What do you mean? How could a top Ancient beauty like me eat soil?”

“Moreover, by the time I mastered this divine ability, I had already become immortal. I was at the peak of cultivation, why would I need to eat soil?”

Lu Yang interrupted Fairy Eternity’s boasting: “Hold on a minute, where did this top ten Ancient beauty stuff come from? I’ve never heard of such a ranking?”

“Am I not the most beautiful woman of ancient times?”

Looking at Fairy Eternity’s flawless radiant face, Lu Yang nodded.

“If there’s a first, there must be a tenth, correct?”

Lu Yang nodded again.

“Although I don’t know who the top ten beauties of ancient times are, since there’s a tenth-ranking, there must be a top ten, right?”

“So, you made it up?”

“How can you say that I made it up? I’m just stating something that definitely exists! Besides, it’s certain that there are three people in the top ten ancient beauties: the two wives of Qilin Immortal, and my most devoted follower, Qinghe.”

“Qilin Immortal?” At this moment, the Kirin Immortality Medicine arrived carrying another type of soil, just in time to hear Fairy Eternity talking about the Qilin Immortal.

“Master Fairy, the Qilin Immortal you mentioned… Does he have anything to do with me?”

Seeing the Kirin Immortality Medicine’s anxiety, Lu Yang suddenly recalled the rumor the Ginseng Doll had shared with him. The rumor said there were no Qilins in the world, and that all the Qilin’s people had seen were actually Kirin Immortality Medicine.

The Little Medicinal Kings also didn’t know whether there was a real Qilin in the world.

Lu Yang once thought the same, until he learned about the existence of the Qilin Immortal from Fairy Eternity, which shattered that lie.

Only then did Lu Yang realize that the knowledge he took for granted, such as the titles of the Four Immortals of the Ancients, was not known by many, even amongst the medical practitioners in the Unification realm. Even the long-lived Little Medicinal Kings didn’t know about it.

Could it be that Fairy Eternity was truly my golden finger?

“Qilin Immortal is the only Qilin in the world, and also the only immortal of the Demon Race. As for you, the Kirin Immortality Medicines…”

The Kirin Immortality Medicine asked eagerly: “How did we come into existence?”

“When the blood of the Qilin Immortal dropped on a spiritual plant, the plant was affected by the immortal blood and transformed into a Qilin.”

The Kirin Immortality Medicine immediately felt a rise in its status as its medicial stalk stiffened.

Lu Yang was surprised: “Did the Qilin Immortal get injured after attaining immortality? Who was the enemy?”

Was there a terrifying existence that could threaten the ancient immortals in ancient times? Was Fairy Eternity always worried since my cultivation level was too low and didn’t tell me, planning to wait until my cultivation level improved before telling me?

Fairy Eternity tries so hard, what a pity it was still discovered by me!

Should I pretend to know nothing, or continue asking?

Fairy Eternity was equally puzzled: “I wasn’t present at the time, and I’m not clear about the specifics. It was during Qilin Immortal’s wedding. The three of them, Ying Tian and the others, beat up Qilin Immortal and he lost a lot of blood.”

“What were they doing on such a joyous occasion? I don’t understand them. Is this what they call wedding pranks?”

Lu Yang: “…”

Isn’t it because you caused trouble with the immortal fruit at the wedding, instigating a cooking competition between the two top chefs using your dragon and phoenix cooking skills, and made Ying Tian and the others taste test them? Afterward, Ying Tian and the others thought the source of trouble was the Qilin Immortal, so they taught Qilin Immortal a good lesson, right?

So the Kirin Immortality Medicine appeared at that time.

This Kirin Immortality Medicine in the garden is the offspring of that first one.

“A battle between immortals?” The Enlightenment Tree and the Ginseng Doll gasped in shock. They never expected that even during ancient times, immortals could meet with misfortune.

They automatically filled in the gaps in Fairy Eternity’s story with their imaginations:

During ancient times, when Qilin Immortal got married, all the demons came to pay their respects. Three immortals, who were at odds with Qilin Immortal, deliberately provoked him on his joyous day. For the sake of his beloved and dignity, Qilin Immortal did not back down and fought back fiercely. With his supreme immortal power, he stirred up waves and shocked the world, leaving an imprint on the ancient timeline!

This battle defended his unique standing as the sole immortal amongst the Demon Race!

Seeing immortals bleed, one could imagine how fierce the battle was!

A truly fitting Immortal War!

This Fairy Eternity really did not consider them as outsiders, casually revealing a corner of the ancient secrets with just a few words.

They turned to look at Lu Yang.

Being so close to Fairy Eternity, Lu Yang must already know many ancient secrets and heard about numerous cruel ancient struggles!
