Chapter 149: Huang Doudou Shopping

When Lu Yang arrived at the mission hall, it was already late at night, and the vast hall had only a handful of people.

According to Lu Yang, his senior brothers and sisters kept a regular schedule: during the day, they diligently completed missions, vanquished demons, and upheld righteousness. At night, they either enjoyed themselves freely or meditated and rested.

Of course, "enjoying themselves freely" here didn't mean mundane feasting and entertainment. Instead, it involved drinking and revelry while simultaneously engaging in magical duels, ensuring neither rest nor cultivation was neglected.

This was why there weren't many people in the mission hall at this time.

Lu Yang scrolled through the exchange list, selecting spiritual tree seeds that were of decent quality and not too expensive.

"Photinia, pomegranate, apple trees..." Lu Yang scanned the seeds, but none really satisfied him. Their quality and price were acceptable, but they lacked a certain "character."

"Why are you still looking at prices? You can spend my contribution points as you please!" The Immortal Fairy was as generous as ever. She had just checked her contribution points and compared them to the price list, feeling exhilarated and thinking that the Asking Dao Sect was nothing special.

Lu Yang wasn't in the habit of relying on others' wealth, and his conscience wouldn't allow him to take advantage of a 'fool.'

The Immortal Fairy puffed out her cheeks, staring at Lu Yang. Being in his spiritual space, she could vaguely sense some of his thoughts.

For a moment there, Lu Yang had been disrespectful towards an immortal!

Lu Yang continued selecting seeds: "Coconut trees, durian trees... Bodhi tree! Bodhi tree seeds are good!" The Bodhi tree held special significance in Buddhism, appearing in many legends. Lu Yang felt it perfectly suited his identity as a genius.

"You're the one, Bodhi tree seeds." Lu Yang purchased ten Bodhi tree seeds.

When it was the Immortal Fairy's turn, she saw the dazzling array of exchange items, her eyes gleaming. She didn't know what to buy.

"Should I buy some rare spiritual treasures that can restore your power?"

If the Immortal Fairy could recover to her ancient state, Lu Yang would have a powerful backer. With his senior sister and the Immortal Fairy supporting him, wouldn't he, Lu, be able to dictate terms in the cultivation world?

The Immortal Fairy scoffed, "What are you talking about? I am an immortal, do you understand? The pinnacle of cultivators. How many rare spiritual treasures in this world are worthy of my use?"

The implication was that nothing on the exchange list could restore her power.

"Then how about two Youth-Preserving Pills?"

"Leaving aside that my appearance is eternal, flawless, and ageless, I am only sixteen years old. Why would I need to preserve my youth?"

Lu Yang thought to himself, "Fairy, you're exaggerating. I'd believe you if you said you were six and just developed quickly."

Lu Yang stopped offering suggestions to the fairy. "Just pick whatever you like."

"This blind box is quite good! Only two hundred contribution points per try, and there's a chance to open rare cultivation techniques, spells, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual treasures, and a series of other valuable items!"

Lu Yang's eye twitched. Who came up with this stuff?

He wanted to dissuade her, but seeing the Immortal Fairy's excited expression, he knew it would likely be futile.

"Lu Yang, lend me your body for a moment! I'm buying fifty blind boxes!" The Immortal Fairy was only a soul and couldn't make purchases directly; she needed to temporarily possess Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sighed, allowing the fairy to use his body.

Ten thousand contribution points were spent without a single blink. The total contribution points Lu Yang and his two companions had earned from their arduous infiltration of the demonic sect were only eight thousand five hundred.

The Immortal Fairy, clutching fifty blind boxes, wobbled to a corner of the hall and sat down to slowly unbox them.

Actually, with a sweep of her immortal consciousness, she would know everything, but the Immortal Fairy felt that would spoil the excitement. She preferred to open them one by one.

"A teddy bear, a puppy doll, a lollipop, a large iron pot... What are all these? Where are the promised valuable treasures?" The Immortal Fairy felt she had been scammed.

Lu Yang thought to himself, "I knew it would come to this."

Whether it was the Immortal Fairy's good luck or the blind box creator's conscience, she actually did open some good items.

"Soul-Returning Pill: If one's soul leaves the body at the brink of death, taking this pill can recall the soul and save a life." It was a life-saving elixir, but of little use to either Lu Yang or the Immortal Fairy.

Even if Lu Yang was on the verge of death and his soul tried to leave his body, the Immortal Fairy could grab his ankle and pull him back. As for the Immortal Fairy, there was no possibility of her ever being near death.

"It's barely a gain; put it away." The Immortal Fairy instinctively tried to put it into Lu Yang's identity jade pendant, but the pendant could identify souls, so the Immortal Fairy couldn't use it.

While the Immortal Fairy could force it open, there was no need. She could simply let Lu Yang put it away himself when she returned his body.

"Corpse-Dissolving Powder: Sprinkling this powder on a corpse will turn it into a thick liquid. A rinse with water, and the person will cease to exist in this world." "Note: Only effective on corpses of Golden Core stage and below."

Lu Yang's eye twitched slightly. He repeatedly reminded himself that the Asking Dao Sect was a righteous sect, and the Corpse-Dissolving Powder was meant for defeating enemies, eliminating hidden dangers, and to be used only as a last resort.

"Mountain and River Contemplation Diagram: Contemplating this diagram can expand one's spiritual space and enhance mental strength." "Author: Ji Hongwen."

Ji Hongwen was a disciple of the Fourth Elder, a Confucian cultivator skilled in painting, and from the same generation as his senior sister and Dai Bufan.

Lu Yang's eyes lit up. This was a good item! His current mental strength had reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage; further improvement would damage his spiritual space. Once he reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, he could further enhance his mental strength.

The Immortal Fairy pouted, then used Lu Yang's body to pat her chest. "Why contemplate such a thing? It's inefficient and not very useful. Once you reach the late Foundation Establishment stage, just contemplate me directly! I am a true immortal's image; the effect will definitely be better than some unknown contemplation diagram!"

"Sealed Lips Pill: Take this pill, and even under severe torture, without the use of a honey trap, you absolutely will not confess!"

"Auto-Transcription Array: If you are punished by an elder to copy scriptures or cultivation techniques, this array can imitate your handwriting and help you with the transcription!"

Lu Yang sighed with emotion, "It seems my senior brothers and sisters invented this array to save themselves trouble."

"Wait!" The Immortal Fairy noticed something amiss. "This auto-transcription array has a hidden mechanism! If you use it, your elders will find out!"

Lu Yang was speechless.

Good heavens, was this thing invented by the Asking Dao Sect elders to bait people?

He knew it. These elders might seem unreliable on a daily basis, but when it came to scheming against people, they were all incredibly resourceful!

The blind boxes were all opened. Overall, spending ten thousand contribution points was quite a loss, but the Immortal Fairy didn't care. She really liked the teddy bear and puppy doll she got at the beginning and planned to simulate them in her spiritual space later.

In her spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy could simulate anything.

"What interesting thing should I buy next..." The Immortal Fairy was spending contribution points lavishly, wanting to use them all up at once.

"You're the one! Give me three!" The Immortal Fairy made her decision. These three exchange vouchers would perfectly use up almost all her contribution points.

Lu Yang had a bad feeling. What kind of exchange vouchers could be so expensive? He looked closely at the three vouchers, and they read:
