Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: 403

Chapter 404: 403

Ancestral Hall.

“It seems like the villagers come to the Ancestral Hall quite frequently, look at the amount of food in front of the spirit positions,”

Meng Jingzhou was somewhat surprised. The Ancestral Hall was clean and shiny, with food like steamed buns and pickled vegetables placed in front of the spirit positions, simple but genuine.

“Indeed, this food is still hot.”

Lu Yang noticed the warmth of the steamed buns as if they had just been freshly steamed.

“Looking at this makes me hungry, let’s eat something.”

Meng Jingzhou took out the prepared food from his Identity Jade. This was the food he bought from the market street, consuming it can greatly improve cultivation levels.

Such is the beauty of being a Spirit Chef.

Upon seeing this food, Lu Yang was reminded of the Immortal Cook living in his spiritual space. Eating the meals she prepared would be even more beneficial to his cultivation level.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang felt a heavy mood.

Lu Yang generated a thread of Three Flavored True Fire with a flick of his hand, he didn’t need things like twigs. Just this sliver of spiritual essence would keep the True Fire burning for quite some time.

Both of them placed the food on top of the Three Flavored True Fire to grill it. The already delicious food became even more enticing.

“Speaking of Eldest Senior Sister being absent, can’t we just use your Lu’s Imitation Fist to summon her?” Meng Jingzhou had a sudden inspiration. Thinking of the most convenient solution, the Eldest Senior Sister would not be affected by causality backlash.

Lu Yang gave Meng Jingzhou a glare, it’s easy for you to come up with such ideas when you are not the one summoning the Eldest Senior Sister.

“When I summoned Eldest Sister last time, we were in a life-or-death situation. What you’re going through is just a trivial causality backlash, if we were to summon Eldest Sister and she found out about this, do you think she will solve your causality backlash first or deal with you first?”

The thought of the Eldest Senior Sister being summoned by Lu Yang, and then coldly focusing on him like he was a dead man after finding out the details of the situation, sent chills down Meng Jingzhou’s spine.

“In that case, let’s forget about it. We should solve the causality backlash ourselves.”

Lu Yang proceeded to explain: “Moreover, Eldest Sister is constantly busy. What she has to do is far more important. What if I disturb her and cause a misstep or delay in her tasks?”

This was also why Lu Yang would not simply summon the Eldest Senior Sister. While it’s true that difficulties could be solved by asking for her help, doing so would not help train and improve him, and since Eldest Sister’s cultivation level is high and her tasks are quite important, she should not be disrupted casually.

Unless faced with life-or-death difficulties, Lu Yang would not ask the Eldest Sister for help.

“It’s a shame that the Grand Elder is not around. With his experience, he might have been able to offer an alternative solution.”

Although Meng Jingzhou was not sure where the Grand Elder went, he could guess that he probably went to build a cemetery.

Given the Grand Elder’s frequent creation of cemeteries, and the way he filled them with zombies, Meng Jingzhou found it hard to believe there was no business transaction going on between the Grand Elder and Corpse Chasing Sect.

The Grand Elder, with his high cultivation level and rich experience, might know how to deal with this situation, or could tell them who to look for in Wild State.

“You know, Wild State has had a corpse-chasing tradition since ancient times. A hundred thousand years ago, when the Great Yu Empire collapsed into chaos, people from all over took up arms to rebel against the Empire. Massacres happened everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, corpses were everywhere. Many of the bodies turned into zombies, which led to a large number of corpse-drivers. A group of them banded together to form a sect, which is now the Corpse Chasing Sect,” Meng Jingzhou said, pointing at a passage in “The Culture of Wild State”.

“That makes the tradition quite old then,” Lu Yang exclaimed. A hundred thousand years ago was indeed a very long time ago to him. Seek Dao Sect was one of the oldest sects, and its history was only over a hundred and twenty thousand years old.

“The tradition of corpse chasing is older than you imagine it to be,” Fairy Eternity chimed in at the right moment.

“So corpse-chasing has existed since ancient times?”

Fairy Eternity smacked her lips and recalled the intense times: “Sort of. But back then, everyone’s methods of driving bodies were unique, and the magic skills used to manipulate bodies didn’t have a collective name like they do now, being called ‘corpse chasing’.”

“Remember that idiot who speaks spells? He was formidable, and with his mere voice, he could drive bodies. Whenever he encountered a powerful enemy, he would hide in a cemetery and shout. The corpses in the cemetery would come out in succession, quite terrifying really, he was one of the most formidable opponents I have ever encountered.”

Anyone referred to as an idiot by Fairy Eternity must really have been an idiot.

Lu Yang remembered this idiot. He could speak spells, which made him extremely difficult to deal with. He had a notorious reputation in ancient times and was one of the most likely to ascend to immortality. There were even legends about him in later generations. And yet, he was ambushed by Fairy Eternity, who caused him to scream “I’m dying!”, after which he actually died.

“And then there’s that one who cultivated the Harem Golden Core. By sheer coincidence, he nurtured a beautiful female zombie, who, after much intimacy, developed feelings and was promoted to the level of a Drought Demon. It was as if she had truly been resurrected, becoming one of his harem.”

Lu Yang also had an impression of this person who cultivated the Harem Golden Core. He had numerous beautiful women in his harem, and with their collective assistance, he cultivated using the Love-making Technique and rapidly progressed in his cultivation. But he failed to manage the relationships within his harem ended up being dismembered by his concubines.

Honestly, disregarding the final outcome, this experience of a genius who cultivated a Harem Golden Core was quite enviable.

“Fairy, do you control corpses?”

“Indeed, I used the top-notch corpse-chasing technique!”

“You can?” Lu Yang was surprised, but looked excited. The Fairy was indeed impressive, knowing all kinds of magic skill, and the top-most ones at that.

It must be even higher level than Corpse Chasing Sect’s corpse chasing.

“Do you want to learn the playing dead technique?”

“I want to…Wait, the playing dead technique?” Lu Yang reacted instantly.

“Yes, didn’t I first play dead and then come back to life? Isn’t that the top-notch corpse-chasing technique?”

Lu Yang fell silent. For the dead to come back to life is indeed the top-level corpse chasing technique, but he felt that something was off.

Lu Yang remembered something and asked: “Besides your playing dead technique, are there any other corpse-chasing techniques that can revive the dead?”

“Not sure.”

“Not sure?”

“In theory, yes, but I have yet to come across a corpse-chasing technique that can compare to my playing dead technique.”

“We five discussed this topic while eating. A top-notch corpse-chasing technique should be able to revive the dead, but if the original soul is gone and a new soul is formed in the old body, can it really be called resurrection?”

Lu Yang thought to himself that the discussion must have probably been due to Ying Tian and the rest worrying that they might suddenly die after eating her food.

“Wait, something is approaching!” Lu Yang stopped discussing and exited from the spiritual space.

He sensed something nearby drawing closer. Judging from the noise it made, there were quite a lot of them!

Almost at the same moment, Meng Jingzhou reacted too and got ready to face the incoming threats.

Boom—

The door of the Ancestral Hall was pushed open from the outside. In front of them was a group of desiccated bodies; at a glance, there were nearly a hundred!

Both of them expanded their spiritual senses and found that the group of desiccated bodies had surrounded the Ancestral Hall making it impossible to escape!

“Why are there living corpses everywhere in Wild State?”
