Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Vegetable Man_1

Legend has it that at the beginning of the Great Yu Dynasty, there was a genius with a natural affinity for magic skills. He could rapidly learn any magic skill, his talent was near fairy-like.

This genius grew at a pace beyond anyone’s imagination, traversing realms that other cultivators spend their entire lives pursuing at an unprecedented speed, eventually becoming a Pass-Tribulation Stage cultivator named Manifold Daoist Lord.

According to ancient texts, the Manifold Daoist Lord learned the Tree Growing Spell as a youngster. It took him just half an hour to master the magic skills that others would need several days or even months to learn.

The Manifold Daoist Lord sowed a willow tree seed, and it took root upon hitting the ground, grew into a robust tree, blossomed, and bore fruit. The tale became a point of admiration, its fame endured throughout the ages, and to this day, this story is still being told.

Tao Yaoye compared the Manifold Daoist Lord with Lu Yang and felt that Lu Yang was still superior.

In just half an hour Lu Yang achieved Enlightenment, used the Earth Escape technique to grow a tree, the willow tree quickly matured, bloomed, and bore two Lu Yangs.

“Senior Brother Lu is still more impressive.”

There were two people on the willow tree, both of them were Lu Yang.

One Lu Yang was the original, and the other Lu Yang was wearing clothes made of woven willow leaves. The tree had no leaves left – all were given to Lu Yang’s clone to make clothing.

“Where have I gone wrong in my practice?” Lu Yang persevered in identifying the problem.

The result was the same as before, he couldn’t find the cause.

“Lu Yang, you’ve become a plant-human!” Fairy Eternity shouted in schadenfreude.

“Shut up,” Lu Yang retorted gloomily, “Forget it, let’s get down first.”

Lu Yang moved around a bit, it didn’t affect anything. He cut off the willow branch at the back of his neck and landed on the ground with a grunt.

He looked at his other self, tried to control the other party with his spiritual power, and surprisingly, the other party’s finger really moved a bit.

Under Lu Yang’s control, the plant-human also cut off the willow branch on the back of his neck, successfully landing on the ground.

The two Lu Yangs detached from the willow tree, which quickly wilted and shrunk back into a seed. The willow seed, however, had completely lost its vitality and could no longer grow.

Lu Yang attempted to control his clone. Initially, he was unfamiliar with it, but as he gradually got the hang of it, he was able to multi-task – controlling the clone while moving by himself.

“Heh heh, you owe this to me!” Fairy Eternity took credit.

“You can control the other clone because you have opened up your spiritual space, and your spiritual power is much stronger than during the Foundation Establishment Stage. Think about it, how did you initially create your spiritual space?”

Lu Yang thought for a moment, then earnestly replied, “It was because Fairy, you wanted to possess me. You forcibly entered my body, leading to the creation of my Spiritual Space.”

Fairy Eternity’s face darkened, stressing, “I was pretending, I’ve told you I was pretending!”

Lu Yang felt that given Fairy Eternity’s intellect, she indeed must have been pretending.

Continuing to explore his clone, Lu Yang found that the clone could only move within a range of twenty meters. Once it exceeded twenty meters, he could no longer sense the clone’s existence.

Twenty meters was indeed Lu Yang’s spiritual power range.

Within the twenty meters, only the control within ten meters was precise. From ten to twenty meters, the strength of control would decrease with increasing distance.

Lu Yang’s clone also wasn’t sturdy enough, just like the willow wood.

“Is it not sturdy because the willow wood is of common quality?”

Lu Yang wanted to try a real spiritual plant, but he hadn’t collected any tree seeds before and had no suitable materials on hand.

“Senior Brother Lu, try this peach tree seed, it’s not ordinary, right?” Seeing Lu Yang’s predicament, Tao Yaoye kindly handed him a seed.

Tao Yaoye watched Lu Yang intently, brimming with excitement. She liked exploring new things and unsolved mysteries, and currently, the most intriguing mystery for her was Lu Yang.

“This is too much. How much merit should it cost, I’ll buy.” Since becoming a spy for the demonic sect, Lu Yang had gained so much merit that he hadn’t spent it all yet.

“No need, this is a peach tree seed from the Dust Free Peak. It’s free.”

Lu Yang remembered Tao Yaoye’s kindness and began an attempt to plant a peach tree.

After burying the peach seed in the soil and operating the Tree Growing Spell, nothing happened.

“Is it necessary to use the Earth Escape skill?” Lu Yang wondered, remembering using it when planting the willow tree seed.

“Shrink the Land.”

Lu Yang shrunk into the soil and activated the Tree Growing Spell. It was really effective.

A strong peach tree broke through the soil in front of Tao Yaoye, bearing two Lu Yangs on its branches – one real Lu Yang and another in the form of a Plant- Person Lu Yang, both have cheeks rubbed with pink blush.

Lu Yang’s eyes twitched once: “How come this peach tree comes with coloration?”

“Nevermind, as long it’s successful.”

Lu Yang controlled his plant-person self movable, he was overjoyed. He could feel a distinct change in the strength of Plant-Person Lu Yang’s body, roughly equivalent to seventy or eighty percent of his own strength.

This was already quite remarkable.

Think about it, in battle, using the Tree Growing Spell to produce two of self, and the newly appeared self have seventy to eighty percent power, plus seamless collaboration with oneself, the combat power would surge immediately, catching the enemy off guard.

Tao Yaoye also noticed this, admiring Senior Brother Lu.

The Manifold Daoist Lord is considered as a genius, but he only managed to practice the Tree Growing Spell strictly following the steps of his predecessors, without any innovative development. Look at Senior Brother Lu, he has skillfully transformed into an offensive magic skill, and it’s highly powerful too!

At this moment, the Sixth Elder in the sky silently watched Lu Yang, then turned around and left.

Originally, if Lu Yang had any inquiries that Tao Yaoye could not answer, she could come down to explain, fulfilling her duty as an elder.

Now, after seeing this, she decided to leave the explaining task to Xiao Yun, and she wouldn’t meddle unnecessarily.

“Xiao Yun said Lu Yang has the potential to establish his own sect.”

The Sixth Elder was skeptical about this.

It’s undoubtedly true that he possesses high talent, but creating a new sect, can disciples learn it?

Lu Yang, engrossed in his cultivation, became increasingly adept at using the Plant-Person function. Tao Yaoye observed from the side and gained a deeper knowledge of the Tree Growing Spell.

Obviously, this was in relation to the normal Tree Growing Spell.

As evening fell, Lu Yang felt uncomfortable staying at Dust Free Peak. After bidding goodbye to Tao Yaoye, he headed to the Task Hall to exchange some items. He couldn’t keep using Tao Yaole’s seeds, he had to buy some for his own use.

Fairy Eternity raised both hands in agreement. She could finally do a big clearance sale.

After Lu Yang left, Tao Yaoye’s expression changed. She felt a strange pressure that made her feel suffocated.

Danger!

She helplessly turned her head and sent a voice transmission to her master: “Master, could you let me know in advance before you come over? It’s not easy for me to hold my breath every time.”

The Sixth Elder stood behind Tao Yaoye with an innocent look on her face.

“I forgot you’re not in the Golden Core stage.” The Sixth Elder subconsciously thought all her disciples were at the Golden Core stage.

Tao Yaoye: “…”

Was this retribution?

I made fun of Senior Brother Lu’s low cultivation level in the morning, and it’s my turn in the evening.

The Sixth Elder didn’t forget why she came: “Do you have feelings for Lu Yang?”

Tao Yaoye’s cheeks reddened quickly. Although she was usually carefree, when it came to this topic, whether she liked it or not, she didn’t want to discuss it with her master: “Master, what are you talking about? My interaction with Senior Brother Lu is normal.”

The Sixth Elder continued transmitting: “Some days ago, Luo Hongxia kept asking me about what kind of person Lu Yang is. I suspect she wants to introduce her excellent disciple Lan Ting to Lu Yang after hearing about how outstanding he is. If you have feelings for him, be careful.”

The Sixth Elder was quite sure of her guess, feeling that it must be correct.

Luo Hongxia, the Palace Master of Laurel Fairy Palace.

Tao Yaoye didn’t say anything.

To outsiders, the long silence between the master and disciple was an odd scene.

Of course, from another perspective, it could be interpreted that the master and disciple understood each other without words.
