Chapter 154: The Immortal Fairy's Words Become Law

"Are exam questions from twenty years ago not genuine? Young man, don't be so narrow-minded."

"Haven't you heard that the older something is, the more valuable it becomes? When I used to rob tombs with Old Jiu, we always went for the oldest items. We even found treasures from the early Great Qian Dynasty, items once held by tribulations-stage demonic beasts."

Yunzhi had heard a little about this. Her master had told her that he and the Eighth Elder once robbed a tomb and found an invaluable treasure from the early Great Qian Dynasty that could hold the water of three rivers and five lakes. The two of them immediately started fighting over it. Later, upon appraisal, it was discovered to be a chamber pot belonging to a tribulations-stage demonic beast.

The Eighth Elder continued, "Go ask around outside. Genuine exam questions for the Dao Seeking Sect's trials are priceless and rarely available. It's already good that I'm selling them to you, so don't be picky."

"Do you know what kind of risk I took selling you this set of questions? I'm doing all this to generate income for the Dao Seeking Sect!"

The Eighth Elder spoke with conviction, and Lu Yang nodded repeatedly. "What the Eighth Elder says makes sense. In that case, perhaps the Eighth Elder's salary should also be delayed by twenty years."

The Eighth Elder panicked. "That won't do!"

"Eighth Elder, don't worry. It's not that we won't pay you, just that it will be delayed by twenty years. Is a salary paid twenty years late not a salary?"

"Or perhaps the Eighth Elder feels the sect is facing difficulties and is voluntarily waiving his salary? If the Eighth Elder has such a noble idea, I will publicly commend you and encourage everyone to learn from your spirit."

At this point, Yunzhi spoke up. "Eighth Elder, given that you're one of Master's shady friends, as long as you return the spirit stones you swindled from Meng Jingzhou, we can let this matter go."

The Eighth Elder had no choice but to hold his nose and reluctantly return the spirit stones.

With his spirit stones recovered, Meng Jingzhou was delighted. Then Yunzhi said, "Meng Jingzhou, you are also at fault for purchasing the exam questions. As long as you hand over the money you paid for them to the sect, this matter can be dropped."

Meng Jingzhou was a little dumbfounded. 'Wasn't Senior Sister on my side?'

Left with no alternative, Meng Jingzhou had to hand over the spirit stones he had barely had time to warm up.

"Wait, what about Lu Yang? This guy even discussed with me how to handle the trials in the carriage. He had ill intentions!" Meng Jingzhou tried to drag Lu Yang into it.

Lu Yang sneered, "Then go report me to the Sect Master! Or, considering the Sect Master isn't here, you can report me to the Acting Sect Master."

"I'm sure the Acting Sect Master is a fair and impartial person who wouldn't show favoritism to anyone."

"You..."

Meng Jingzhou glared at Lu Yang, gritting his teeth, thinking, 'Just wait until I become Sect Master; you'll get what's coming to you!'

After the Eighth Elder and Meng Jingzhou left, the Immortal Fairy once again took control of Lu Yang's body.

The Immortal Fairy looked at the matters needing attention and found being a Sect Master incredibly difficult.

"The way those people like Ying Tianxian handled problems was similar to mine. How did they manage to control all those planets?"

Yunzhi sighed softly and reminded her, "Just as you can assign tasks to the eight elders, the Sect Master also has the authority to command disciples. You can delegate the review tasks to experienced disciples."

"Oh, right." The Immortal Fairy realized and instructed "Cheat Code" Lu Yang to handle these matters.

Lu Yang took two deep breaths. "Don't you think Senior Sister is subtly hinting that you should let *her* handle these matters?"

After much deliberation, they ultimately let the reliable Senior Sister handle all the disorganized affairs. Sometimes, Lu Yang felt it was fortunate that the Dao Seeking Sect had Senior Sister, otherwise, the sect would surely fall apart sooner or later.

"I wonder how the outside world evaluates the Dao Seeking Sect."

The Immortal Fairy stood with her hands behind her back, nodding frequently as she observed the training ground being maintained, resembling a leader inspecting a rural area.

Near the training ground were many small arenas for disciples to spar. The Dao Seeking Sect still placed great importance on practical combat training, to prevent disciples from being bullied when they went out. Lu Yang felt the Dao Seeking Sect's upper echelons were simply overthinking it.

At this moment, two Golden Core stage senior disciples were fighting in an arena. Their Golden Cores were full and radiant, clearly indicating first-grade Golden Cores at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Lu Yang recognized both of them. The male Golden Core disciple was Luo Hai, who had formed a "Daylight Vast Sea" Golden Core, a top-tier first-grade core. His water-attribute spells were exceptional, and he had even slain several Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators, making him a prominent figure even among the numerous geniuses of the Dao Seeking Sect.

The female Golden Core disciple was Yi Jing, a member of the Yi family from Imperial City. Although her family wasn't as prominent as Meng Jingzhou's, they were still a renowned aristocratic family in the Central Continent. Senior Sister Yi Jing possessed astonishing experience; she had compared her family's ancestral cultivation method with various techniques from the Scripture Pavilion, making preliminary modifications to make them more suitable for herself.

Neither of them was an ordinary person. Many onlookers watched their sparring, hoping to gain inspiration and benefit their future cultivation.

The Immortal Fairy swaggered over, drawing some attention. To outsiders, Lu Yang was the first disciple to redeem the Sect Master experience voucher, which was highly inspiring. Most people, however, remained focused on the battle in the arena and did not notice the Immortal Fairy's arrival.

"Watch as I demonstrate what it means to fight above your level!" the Immortal Fairy told Lu Yang, who immediately had a bad feeling.

"Wait, what are you going to do...?"

Before Lu Yang could finish, the Immortal Fairy took control of his body and leaped onto the arena.

The two on the platform, seeing the Immortal Fairy, were curious, wondering what this junior disciple, who had just become the Acting Sect Master, intended to do.

"I'm challenging both of you."

Luo Hai and Yi Jing froze, then looked surprised. The crowd below erupted in an uproar. Lu Yang was only at the Foundation Establishment mid-stage; how could he challenge two peak Golden Core cultivators?

However, since Lu Yang wanted to challenge them, Luo Hai and Yi Jing wouldn't refuse. The two stood opposite the Immortal Fairy. "Junior Disciple, you go first."

The Immortal Fairy showed a slight smile. "In the name of the Acting Sect Master, I command you to jump off the arena."

Lu Yang: "..."Luo Hai: "..."Yi Jing: "..."The assembled senior disciples below: "..."

Was this how an Acting Sect Master's authority was supposed to be used?

The Acting Sect Master's words had to be obeyed. Without hesitation, the two jumped off the arena, forfeiting the match.

The Immortal Fairy's maneuver quickly piqued the interest of many senior disciples.

"Senior Brother Ma, quickly go check out the arena! I heard Junior Brother Lu Yang has mastered 'words become law' and defeated several Golden Core stage junior disciples, even boasting he's going to challenge Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Is that so?" Senior Brother Ma showed an interested expression.

Ma Tianyang, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator and a disciple of the Artifact Forging Peak, was skilled in using fire and forging weapons. He once performed the astonishing feat of forging artifacts mid-battle while fighting a Soul Transformation stage cultivator, defeating them purely by relying on an endless supply of spirit treasures.

"Let's go take a look."

The junior disciple who incited Ma Tianyang revealed a triumphant smile.

As Ma Tianyang approached the arena, he heard the Immortal Fairy boasting loudly: "Hahaha, I'm already invincible at the Golden Core stage! Bring on a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Hearing this, Ma Tianyang immediately jumped onto the arena, and then witnessed the Immortal Fairy's "words become law" ability.

That day, the Immortal Fairy, fighting above her level with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, defeated cultivators from the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Soul Transformation stages, gaining widespread fame.

That day, Lu Yang wished he could bury himself in the ground.
