Chapter 159: Finally Found Who Sold the Fake Questions Back Then
Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
After returning to the Dao Seeking Sect, Everlasting Fairy once again took over Lu Yang's body to deal with sect affairs.
The Dao Seeking Sect has various matters to deal with daily, but the visit from the Five Elements Sect was given priority due to its significance. Now that tasks have been assigned, it's time to handle regular issues.
Everlasting Fairy, sitting in the sect leader's seat, felt delighted: "Let's see what matters require my decision."
"The Great Xia Dynasty strongly condemns the Dao Seeking Sect's habit of haphazardly establishing graves. The Dao Seeking Sect's eldest elder has repeatedly built graves outside of the sect's territory, disrupting the archaeological work of The Great Xia Dynasty."
Attached were detailed accounts of the incident, mentioning an old farmer who accidentally discovered a grave. The imperial court sent people to investigate and believed the grave's style was ancient, resembling those from the Da Yu Dynasty era, constructed by someone at the Unity Stage.
As the archaeological work continued, the contents of the tomb overturned people's understanding of the Da Yu Dynasty's graves, marking a significant discovery.
After a long period of excavation, The Great Xia finally unearthed the tomb, only to find the eldest elder sleeping inside the coffin.
All the effort was for the eldest elder's unauthorized construction of a grave, even styled after the Da Yu Dynasty era, nearly infuriating The Great Xia Dynasty.
"The earthworm couple in the medicinal garden split into two each, believing they are four independent beings, no longer bound by their original relationship. All four wish to marry simultaneously, with the males as the 'big' and 'small' husbands and the females as the 'big' and 'small' wives, planning a grand wedding in the medicinal garden?"
"Sss—"
Everlasting Fairy leaned back, wondering if the earthworm clan had always been this adventurous.
Such antics were never heard of in the earthworm clan during the ancient times.
Everlasting Fairy momentarily set aside the earthworm matter to review other documents: "The Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo clan proposes, given the dangerous times, even a visit home could encounter villains. They wish to concoct 'The Power of the Third Elder' pill, to summon the third elder in critical moments to resolve dangers."
Moving on to another matter.
"A group of sect disciples suggests restricting the third elder's behavior. The mountains have owners; do not move them around just to exercise."
Lu Yang had heard about this. The third elder liked to move mountains as part of his physical training. If it were just moving mountains, that would be one thing. The problem is, the third elder can't remember where the mountains originally were, often leaving disciples to find their homes gone upon returning from missions.
"Ah, Pellet Cauldron Peak claims to have found a method for long-distance communication." Everlasting Fairy sounded like she had discovered a treasure.
Everlasting Fairy didn't expect Pellet Cauldron Peak to be so creative. In ancient times, only powerful cultivators had the means to communicate regardless of distance. Had Pellet Cauldron Peak found a way to make this widely available?
Pellet Cauldron Peak detailed their proposed solution.
"First, concoct two Lovesick Moonlit Elixirs."
Lu Yang remembered when the Ginseng Child introduced the Lovesick Grass, briefly mentioning this item. Lovesick Moonlit Elixirs allow two people in love to communicate irrespective of time and space.
"Then, concoct two Heartbreak Pills, which can force two people to fall in love. As long as they consume the Heartbreak Pill and Lovesick Moonlit Elixir, the two can communicate over long distances."
"After communication ends, Pellet Cauldron Peak has preliminarily developed a 'Forgetful Water' potion, which, after consumption, can negate the effects of the Heartbreak Pill."
Everlasting Fairy: "......"
Lu Yang: "......Genius."
Lu Yang felt there was a reason the alchemy world didn't recognize Pellet Cauldron Peak; with such reckless research methods, it would be strange if they acknowledged you!
Everlasting Fairy responded uniformly to these issues: "Seen."
"......And the response?" Lu Yang quipped.
"I just don't know how to solve these," Everlasting Fairy admitted with a troubled face. She was naturally not adept at resolving issues, let alone those of the Dao Seeking Sect.
She had her way of dealing with it: "Think about it, these matters aren't urgent. Once these three days are over, it will be Yun Zhi, that young girl, who has to face these problems. Then, I won't have to worry about them."
Lu Yang felt Everlasting Fairy made some sense: "Immortal, have you forgotten something?"
"What?"
"Eldest Senior Sister has been standing behind us all this time."
Everlasting Fairy broke into a cold sweat upon remembering Yun Zhi had been there all along, simply not speaking.
She felt as if a pair of cold eyes were fixed on her, not daring to turn around.
"Sect Master, Meng Jingzhou has something to report outside!" the owner of the cold eyes suddenly spoke, her tone revealing no emotion.
Startled, Everlasting Fairy shivered but then remembered her status as the sect master and somewhat reassured, said, "Let him in."
Meng Jingzhou came storming in, dragging someone along—it was the eighth elder.
Lu Yang, regaining control of the body, asked with his legs crossed, "Ah, it's Little Meng."
Lu Yang said warmly, "Little Meng, don't be afraid. Whatever problem or trouble you've encountered, you can tell me. As an elder, it's my duty to help the younger generation."
Meng Jingzhou's eye twitched, thinking, Lu Yang, you've really grown some skills. I'll see when I can exchange for a sect master experience coupon myself.
Meng Jingzhou had heard that Lu Yang could exchange for a sect master experience coupon because he found the missing Daoist Non-Speaker for ten years.
In that case, he could just seal Daoist Non-Speaker away, preventing him from causing trouble in the outside world.
Reducing a major disaster in the cultivation world should earn him a massive amount of contribution points.
However, the situation was pressing, not the time to squabble with Little Lu.
"I want to sue the eighth elder," Meng Jingzhou declared righteously.
The eighth elder explained, feeling Meng Jingzhou misunderstood him: "My nephew, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know it was you back then."
"What's the matter with the eighth elder?" Lu Yang wasn't very familiar with the eighth elder yet.
"Do you remember our first meeting when I mentioned I bought the Dao Seeking Sect's exam real questions?"
Lu Yang nodded; he remembered clearly. Initially, on the carriage, Meng Jingzhou didn't mention he got the real questions. Later, when Eldest Senior Sister also got on, Meng Jingzhou, betraying his principles for beauty, doomed himself by saying he had the real questions.
The two even discussed how to pass the exam in front of Eldest Senior Sister. Fortunately, Eldest Senior Sister didn't mind this matter.
Later, they learned that Meng Jingzhou indeed got the real questions, but they were from twenty years ago.
Meng Jingzhou pointed at the eighth elder: "It was him. He assured me with all confidence that these were the real questions, deceiving me of many spirit stones!"
In an instant, the gaze of Eldest Senior Sister, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou converged on the eighth elder.
Yun Zhi, aware of the eighth elder's character, had long suspected him but never had evidence.
The eighth elder calmly said, "That's not how you should put it. Didn't I sell you the real questions?"
"Do you know how many people wanted to buy these questions from me twenty years ago? I didn't sell to any of them!"
