Chapter 145: Ying Tian Xian This Grandson

Unfortunately, some rare natural treasures have lost their medicinal properties and become ordinary items due to improper storage methods. Others have significantly decreased in value due to changes in the times.

For instance, the Joyful Harmony Powder has expired. The Dragon Transformation Grass, for example, plummeted in price two thousand years ago when the Dragon Race discovered a stable cultivation method for it.

"It has archaeological value and commemorative significance; it could be sold to the Dragon Race Museum," Yun Zhi murmured. Well-preserved wild Dragon Transformation Grass is extremely rare. She had visited the Dragon Race Museum before, and it didn't have any wild specimens.

"These are just scraps! When I was alive, I wouldn't even bother picking them up if they fell on the ground!" Huang Douhou said with disdain to Lu Yang. "Wait until you find my treasure trove; I'll show you what true treasures are!"

Lu Yang rolled his eyes, pretending not to hear the Immortal Fairy. He continued sifting through the treasures with his Senior Sister.

The Immortal Fairy stomped her foot in anger. In ancient times, countless cultivators went bankrupt just to catch a glimpse of her and hear her speak a few words!

Her words were the pronouncements of an Immortal, capable of benefiting one for a lifetime!

This brat truly didn't know what was good for him. She wouldn't bother with him anymore!

Suddenly, Lu Yang found a thick, well-packaged book. Its soft texture immediately indicated it was no ordinary item.

Perhaps this thick book truly was extraordinary, for the Blood Demon Venerable had specially noted its origin beside it.

Lu Yang read aloud: "This immortal technique was acquired by me from a black market stall. According to the stall owner, its origin, material, and content are unknown, but it is certainly ancient and sealed by a powerful formation, originating from the primordial era."

"I laughed at that owner, who didn't recognize its true value, unaware of the treasure he possessed. I strained my Heavenly Eye to see beneath the seal, and I saw the character 'Immortal' at the signature location. This is more than just an ancient item; it belongs to one of the Four Ancient Immortals. A book written by an Immortal could be a legendary immortal technique!"

"Alas, alas," he continued, "the ancient seal is too strong; I was unable to open it in my entire life."

"An immortal technique!" Lu Yang exclaimed, his heart pounding fiercely. To think that a legendary immortal technique was hidden here — what a grand opportunity!

And it was such a thick book! Either the recorded immortal technique was incredibly complex, or it contained several different immortal techniques. Whichever it was, it had immense value!

He tried to open the book, and just as the Blood Demon Venerable's note stated, he couldn't.

"Hmm? This looks familiar." The Immortal Fairy, whose willpower was strong, had managed to ignore Lu Yang for a full twenty seconds.

"Have you seen this before, Fairy? Can you undo the seal?" Lu Yang asked.

"Naturally. A minor seal like this can be undone with a flick of a finger."

Following the Immortal Fairy's instructions, Lu Yang carefully infused his spiritual energy, and the seal was indeed broken.

Lu Yang suppressed his excitement and opened the ancient book. On the bottom right of the ancient text was the author's name — Ying Tianxian.

It truly was a book written by an Immortal. Lu Yang was delighted, thinking that Ying Tianxian must be a reliable Immortal. If all five Ancient Immortals were like the Immortal Fairy, ancient times would have been doomed!

Looking further, he saw the title — "Culinary Compendium."

"Hmm?"

Lu Yang flipped through a few pages and found that the content perfectly matched the title, detailing how to cook various demonic beasts.

"What kind of immortal technique is this?!"

Ying Tianxian, you are utterly unreliable!

You sealed something like this? What, were you afraid humanity would eat all the demonic beasts into extinction?

The Immortal Fairy noticed something was off and frowned, saying, "That's not right. I've eaten all sorts of exotic beasts and compiled my culinary experiences into a book. It's my proudest work. I wrote this book, so how did it become Ying Tianxian's?"

The Immortal Fairy gritted her teeth: "That bastard Ying Tianxian stole my work while I was dead?"

"Oh, so you wrote it. That makes perfect sense," Lu Yang suddenly realized.

"What did you say?" the Immortal Fairy asked, her expression unfriendly.

"Ah, no, I meant... I meant Ying Tianxian must have been bored out of his mind to put his name on a book like this."

The Immortal Fairy felt that Lu Yang was looking down on her too much. "You brat have no taste, looking down on my masterpiece. If you could master this book, you'd at least become a Spirit Chef at the Tribulation Transcendence stage. If this were out there, a crowd of people would fight over it, beating each other senseless!"

"When I cooked for the other four back then, they felt unworthy of eating my cooking, and tried every excuse to avoid coming over!"

"Are you sure it wasn't just too terrible to eat?"

"Nonsense! My cooking even produces golden light; how could it be unappetizing!"

The human and the immortal bickered back and forth, eventually circling back to the matter of Ying Tianxian. After much discussion, they still couldn't reach a conclusion. Lu Yang told his Senior Sister about the incident. Yun Zhi merely frowned, but said nothing.

Meanwhile, Meng Jingzhou found several cultivation techniques, measured by weight. Some were long lost, while others had been improved. Overall, his gains were considerable.

As Yun Zhi sifted through the treasures, an expression of surprise crossed her face. "Is this the cultivation insights of a Flawless Immortal Physique?"

Yun Zhi was surprised, not expecting to find cultivation insights for a Flawless Immortal Physique here, especially insights from someone at the early Body Integration stage.

Cultivation insights for Immortal Physiques are rare, and insights suitable for the Dao-Seeking Sect are even rarer.

In the mental space, Lu Yang asked, "Fairy, did Immortal Physiques exist in your time? Could they achieve immortality?"

To Lu Yang's knowledge, there were twenty types of Immortal Physiques in the world, a constitution even rarer than a single spiritual root. Once an Immortal Physique cultivated to the Body Integration stage, it would automatically form rules, possessing terrifying power, mysterious and unpredictable, making it impossible to guard against.

Lu Yang heard that there were two Immortal Physiques in the sect: Tao Yaoye and her master, Sixth Elder. Tao Yaoye possessed the Feathered Immortal Physique, and Sixth Elder possessed the Flawless Immortal Physique.

At this moment, Huang Douhou was still immersed in her anger over "that shameless Ying Tianxian stealing her copyright." Her anger, however, came and went quickly. Huang Douhou was a magnanimous person, and upon hearing Lu Yang's question, she quickly shifted her attention.

"Immortal Physiques? Yes, we had them back then. The history of Immortal Physiques is far more ancient than you imagine."

"The concept of Immortal Physiques can be traced back to the most ancient times, when humanity didn't yet know how to cultivate and relied entirely on exploration. Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul, and Body Transformation stages were gradually developed by Immortal Physiques relying on their unique characteristics."

"Among those with Immortal Physiques who became Immortals, I only know of one person: Ninefold Immortal. He was a formidable opponent, a match for my strength!" When the Immortal Fairy mentioned Ninefold Immortal, her expression grew serious, acknowledging his power.

"Ninefold Immortal was the first among us to achieve immortality. According to him, his Immortal Physique greatly aided him in becoming an Immortal!"

Lu Yang secretly asked again, "Is Senior Sister an Immortal Physique? And what exactly is her cultivation level?"

The Immortal Fairy chuckled, "Guess."

Lu Yang's face darkened. How was he supposed to guess?

"Lu Yang, when you return to the sect, give these cultivation insights to Sixth Elder. These insights are most suitable for her."

"Yes."

The three returned to the Dao-Seeking Sect, their gains plentiful.

Yun Zhi went to Punishment Peak to interrogate the Blood Demon Venerable. Meng Jingzhou returned to Body Tempering Peak to cultivate. Lu Yang went to Dustless Peak, where Sixth Elder resided, to deliver the cultivation insights.
