Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 395: An Enemy Infiltrates Dao Seeking Sect!

Everlasting Fairy was renowned as the greatest immortal chef throughout the ages. Her culinary creations were legendary, widely praised across the realms.

Lu Yang, as the second-in-command of the Everlasting Lineage, was fortunate enough not to inherit her immortal cooking techniques. Instead, he created his own unique style from scratch.

His roasted duck could only be described as “Lu Family’s Roasted Duck.”

Golden in color with an aroma that filled the air, Lu Family’s Roasted Duck had tender meat beneath crispy skin. Each bite was a delightful burst of flavor, with juices flowing and a rich, savory taste that lingered long after.

Lu Yang and his senior sister savored the delicacy, eating slowly and deliberately. Lu Yang remained focused on the meal, pretending not to hear Everlasting Fairy’s requests.

“Let me try a bite!”

“Come on, just one bite!”

Everlasting Fairy watched enviously as Lu Yang ate his roasted duck with a look of bliss on his face. She desperately wanted to taste it herself, but Lu Yang ignored her completely, much to her frustration. She stomped her feet in annoyance.

…

As night fell, a shadowy figure appeared silently at the entrance of Dao Seeking Sect.

The black-clad figure moved forward, unnoticed by the two disciples guarding the gate, as if they couldn’t see him at all.

He passed through the entrance and into the bamboo forest, aware that there was a river spirit guarding the area. He held his breath and cautiously entered Dao Seeking Sect.

The figure seemed intimately familiar with Dao Seeking Sect, knowing exactly where people were stationed and how to avoid being seen.

Stepping lightly with a mysterious gait, he carefully bypassed the river spirit’s surveillance, weaving through the bamboo forest until he reached the inner grounds of Dao Seeking Sect.

“Hmph, Dao Seeking Sect is nothing special,” the figure sneered, his eyes cold and filled with disdain for the sect.

After he passed through the bamboo forest, mist rose from the stream, gathering into the shape of the river spirit. It silently watched the shadowy figure’s retreating back without saying a word.

Beyond the bamboo forest stood the mountain that housed the Task Hall, which could be considered the gateway to the inner sect of Dao Seeking Sect.

The black figure glanced warily at the Task Hall, growing even more cautious, afraid to make the slightest mistake.

“This infiltration into Dao Seeking Sect is to steal their secret, forbidden techniques. It’s a covert mission; I must not be detected by anyone!”

“Right now, the Task Hall is mainly overseen by Dai Bufan. With Dai Bufan’s level of cultivation, there’s no way he could sense my presence. After all, his experience is shallow, nowhere near as seasoned as his master, Qin Jiunian.”

“But the real concern is whether that old man Qin Jiunian is here. While I detest him, his cultivation is truly formidable, and he might be able to detect me!”

“He probably isn’t here, though. That old guy is obsessed with building tombs and rarely stays at the Task Hall for long.”

With his heart pounding, the figure crossed the mountain of the Task Hall without encountering any obstacles.

“Looks like my luck is good—Qin Jiunian isn’t around.”

Having passed this critical point, the black figure felt more at ease as he moved boldly through the inner sect of Dao Seeking Sect. Confident in his stealth abilities, he believed that even if he encountered elders, they wouldn’t be able to notice him.

And indeed, as he moved through the sect, he seemed invisible. Even when he brushed past disciples at the Spirit Transformation Stage or Void Refinement Stage, none of them noticed his presence!

Even as he strolled through the market streets, he went completely undetected.

The market was filled with old Unity Stage cultivators, yet none of them realized he was there—an indication of just how profound his cultivation truly was!

“Body Refinement Peak—this is the place. The eldest son of the Meng family is here!”

The black figure let out a low, cold chuckle before confidently ascending Body Refinement Peak.

“The third elder of Dao Seeking Sect is all muscle. If I faced him head-on, even I would find it troublesome. But when it comes to stealth techniques, he’s no match for me!”

The black figure passed through the spiritual fields and saw the Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo Clan diligently working the land. A flash of envy crossed his face. The Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo Clan was the ideal race for farming, and while his own faction had vast spiritual fields, they didn’t have the help of the Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo Clan.

The black figure recalled, “I remember that the third elder of Dao Seeking Sect once traveled to the Demon Territory when he was young and saved the life of a Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo. To repay the favor, the buffalo and its entire family settled at Dao Seeking Sect. Such an opportunity is rare and impossible to replicate.”

“This place… not here… not here either…”

The black figure knew that the eldest son of the Meng family was somewhere on Body Refinement Peak, but he didn’t know the exact location. He had no choice but to check one cave dwelling after another.

“Found it. This is the one!”

He spotted an old horse sleeping nearby and confirmed that this must be the residence of the Meng family’s eldest son. A cunning smile crept onto his face.

“The Meng family certainly knows how to treat their heirs, assigning a Great Demon King as the bodyguard for their eldest son. This is even better than the privileges given to the children of Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators.”

The black figure secretly marveled, skillfully bypassed the old horse, and entered the cave.

Meng Jingzhou was sitting in meditation inside his cave, his palms facing upward as he trained his shadow technique, entirely unaware of the intruder’s presence.

“Meng family boy, wake up.”

A voice echoed in Meng Jingzhou’s ears, startling him. He had sealed the entrance to his cave, and the old horse was supposed to be guarding it. How could someone have entered unnoticed?!

“Who are you?” Meng Jingzhou asked warily, his instincts on high alert. He knew his life could hang in the balance in an instant. The person before him was certainly no one from Dao Seeking Sect!

To infiltrate Dao Seeking Sect without being detected, not even by his master, implied a cultivation level beyond comprehension. Who could this person be?

Were they an enemy of Dao Seeking Sect, here to eliminate him, the second most talented of the younger generation?

Were they a foe of the Meng family, trying to use him to threaten his clan?

Or was this a common enemy of both Dao Seeking Sect and the Meng family, here to kidnap him and strain the relations between the two?

As clever as Meng Jingzhou was, he quickly considered all three possibilities, coming dangerously close to deducing the black figure’s true intentions and background!

“You don’t need to know who I am,” the black figure said, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Meng Jingzhou. His tone was sharp with urgency. “I just need to ask you—did you create a technique called Single Curse Fist, which curses anyone struck by it to remain single for life?”

Meng Jingzhou’s expression turned strange. He had been bracing himself to be kidnapped, but now the intruder was asking about this?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It didn’t feel like this person was a sworn enemy of the Meng family or Dao Seeking Sect…

“I did create the Single Curse Fist, but are you sure you’re not an enemy of Dao Seeking Sect?” Meng Jingzhou asked cautiously, still unable to determine the figure’s motives while stalling for time, hoping the old horse would notice something was wrong.

The black figure sneered, clearly finding Meng Jingzhou’s question laughable. “My hatred for Dao Seeking Sect is boundless!”

As he removed his disguise, his face became one that Meng Jingzhou immediately recognized.

With a menacing look, the figure growled, as though bearing a grudge of blood and vengeance against Dao Seeking Sect: “Now, tell me how to train in the Single Curse Fist. Hurry up and teach me so I can punch that bastard Ba Lao’er twice!”

“That damn Ba Lao’er somehow learned a trick and keeps praising my mom for being smart and beautiful every day!”

(TL Note: I’m just gonna stick with Ba Lao’er. The chinese used here is “巴老二” which is directly translated as “Ba Old Second”, Ba being his surname and 老二 meaning old second. I previously had it as Old Second, Ba but it’s too clunky in my opinion so I’m just calling him Ba Lao’er. It was previously used in Chapter 176.)

Meng Jingzhou: “…”

You’re the Sect Master of Five Elements Sect… is this really necessary?
