Chapter 314: The Immortal Fairy Suppresses the Little Medicine King

Dao Sect, Medicinal Garden.

Under the shroud of night, Elder Ba, as always, stood guard over the medicinal garden. He conjured a clone, who sat opposite him, and they played chess.

"Elder Ba," a familiar voice echoed in his ear.

"Little Lu? It's so late, what brings you to the medicinal garden?"

Cultivators engage in activities day and night, but most disciples rarely visit the medicinal garden after dark.

Lu Yang said with an embarrassed expression, "Do you happen to have anything particularly valuable here..."

"Medicinal herbs?"

"Mud."

"What do you need mud for?"

"To eat."

Elder Ba was speechless.

He had long heard that Yunzhi was out of touch with worldly affairs and always tormented people, whether intentionally or not. Had she finally tormented Lu Yang to this extent?

"No, it's not that. I've been cultivating a technique that allows me to consume soil. I want to find some earth to taste and see what it's like."

Elder Ba rubbed his chin, scrutinizing Lu Yang. "I recall the last time you were here, you mastered the Shrinking Ground skill. Now you've come back to the medicinal garden, having mastered eating soil. Have you inherited the earthworm's legacy?"

Shrinking Ground and eating soil were the specialties of the Silver-Ringed Heavenly King Earthworm.

Lu Yang earnestly replied, "This is an ancient inheritance."

"An ancient earthworm?"

Elder Ba didn't press the matter. It was nothing surprising for a Dao Sect disciple to do anything; he had seen it all. "Never mind. It's not your first time in the medicinal garden. One pair of earthworm cultivators is resting, and the other pair is on their honeymoon. Go into the garden and find the soil yourself. It's near the Little Medicine Kings."

Just as Lu Yang was about to enter the garden, Elder Ba called out, "Oh, by the way, have you ever been in love?"

"No."

Elder Ba hummed in understanding, then asked, "Do you know what girls like to hear most?"

Lu Yang turned his head and asked the Immortal Fairy in his spiritual space, "What do you like people to say to you?"

"Praise me for being beautiful and intelligent."

Lu Yang turned back to Elder Ba and said, "Praise her for being beautiful and intelligent."

Elder Ba looked thoughtful. "Got it. You can go in now."

Entering the medicinal garden after a long absence, Lu Yang familiarly made his way towards the dwelling of the Little Medicine Kings.

Beneath the towering Enlightenment Tree, the Little Medicine Kings held hands, singing and dancing around a bonfire.

"What's that smell? It's so fragrant..."

"Ginseng King, your whiskers are on fire!"

"Quick, help me put it out!"

The Little Medicine Kings swarmed over, stomping and kicking the Ginseng Child. They finally gave the Ginseng Child a good beating just before the flames went out.

"Lu Yang, you're here?" The Enlightenment Tree was the first to notice Lu Yang's arrival and greeted him with a chuckle.

"Is that Lu Yang?"

Hearing the Enlightenment Tree speak, the Little Medicine Kings also noticed Lu Yang's presence.

The Little Medicine Kings hopped around Lu Yang's feet, appearing delighted.

Lu Yang shrunk his body and surveyed the Little Medicine Kings he hadn't seen in months: the Ginseng Child, Three-Leaf Star Grass, Flower of the End of Ages, and Qilin Undying Medicine.

Seeing Lu Yang willing to shrink to their height made the Little Medicine Kings even happier. "How's the plan to counterattack the Demoness progressing?"

The last time they parted ways, Lu Yang had tricked the Little Medicine Kings, claiming he also hated the Demoness Yunzhi and wanted to join forces with them to counterattack her.

At the time, Lu Yang was unaware of his senior sister's true strength, thinking she was merely at the peak of the Integration Stage. He believed that after a few millennia of cultivation, he might have a chance to surpass her.

Now, it seemed that even if he cultivated for several millennia, plus the Immortal Fairy's full recovery, he still might not be a match for his senior sister.

"I knew it, Lu Yang, you also want to teach that Yun girl a lesson!" The Immortal Fairy, as if finding a kindred spirit, excitedly emerged from the spiritual space.

"Oh, a soul body, human, who are you?" The Ginseng Child stood with two whiskers akimbo, looking quite confident.

It had heard of and seen powerful souls residing within human cultivators. At most, those powerful souls were in the Tribulation Transcending Stage.

What was the Tribulation Transcending Stage? Could they live as long as the Medicine Kings?

"Little medicine child, show some respect to this immortal! Do you know who this immortal is?" As the leader of the Five Ancient Immortals, the Immortal Fairy had seen everything. Medicine Kings were trivial; she could have them whenever she wished. Countless Little Medicine Kings would willingly follow her, but she was simply too lazy to nurture them.

The Immortal Fairy merely released a faint aura, startling the Little Medicine Kings into sitting down abruptly, as if the person before them possessed an innate suppression over them.

"You-you-you, who are you?!"

The Enlightenment Tree was also greatly astonished. It didn't know who this soul body was, but instinct caused it to feel an inexplicable panic towards the Immortal Fairy.

Beneath the panic, there was a faint hint of longing.

The Little Medicine Kings could live for a very long time, but they ultimately couldn't escape the shackles of lifespan. One day, they would reach the end of their lives.

The Immortal Dao Fruit, however, was synonymous with eternal existence and endless life. It was the lifelong pursuit of the Little Medicine Kings and naturally had a suppressive effect on them.

For example, when the Heavenly Herding Grass previously put Lu Yang in a tough fight in the dense forest, the Immortal Fairy, seeing Lu Yang being bullied, had originally intended to teach it a lesson and then release her immortal aura to suppress it. However, Lu Yang later entered a state of enlightenment, so the Immortal Fairy did not proceed with further actions.

"This immortal is the Immortal Fairy, leader of the Five Ancient Immortals from 300,000 years ago! Now, I am the Dao Sect's only guest elder, respectfully invited by that Yun girl herself!"

"Furthermore, this immortal was the first to achieve immortality in ancient times, establishing the Heavenly Court and serving as its Supreme Heavenly Venerate — the Bean Heavenly Venerate!"

"So, so mighty!" The Little Medicine Kings were astonished by the Immortal Fairy's various identities and gazed at her with adoration.

"Hehe, do you understand this immortal's might now?"

"This immortal has not yet fully recovered. Once I regain my full strength, I will lead you all to attack Yunzhi, so she'll know who is truly the strongest!"

The Little Medicine Kings clapped enthusiastically, finding the Immortal Fairy incredibly powerful and confident.

"So, Immortal Fairy, are you currently recovering your strength within Lu Yang's body?"

"You're half right. Not only is this immortal recovering strength within Lu Yang, but I have also set up various trials for him to undertake. Once the trials are complete, this immortal will designate him as my successor!"

"This immortal allowed Lu Yang to experience the sensation of wielding power, letting him serve as the Dao Sect Master for three days, holding absolute authority and basking in unmatched glory. After those three days, Lu Yang's senior brothers and sisters were all queuing up to find him!"

"This immortal guided his cultivation, recounted ancient secrets to him, imparted the great divine abilities 'Near at Hand, Yet Worlds Away' and 'Devour the Heavens and Earth,' used his body to challenge those of higher realms, and fostered his invincible aura!"

"Lu Yang successfully formed the greatest Golden Core of all time, the Invincible Core—all thanks to this immortal's proper guidance!"

The Little Medicine Kings listened with wide eyes, thinking how fortunate Lu Yang was to become an immortal's successor, with the immortal imparting everything they knew.

What an immense opportunity!

Although they had never heard of an "Invincible Core," for an immortal to call it the greatest Golden Core of all time, its power was undoubtedly immense.

Lu Yang opened his mouth, intending to say that the Immortal Fairy was spouting nonsense, but on second thought, it seemed everything she said was actually true.

Who did she learn that from?

Lu Yang interrupted the Immortal Fairy's boasting. "We came to the medicinal garden to ask if there's any particularly valuable soil here. We need it for cultivation."
