Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 338: Confidence From the Unbeatable Golden Core

“Who?!”

“The Nine-Netherworlds Creed. You don’t know them?” Lu Yang was somewhat surprised, not understanding why the higher-ups of the Everlasting Creed were so shocked.

Aren’t you already selling barbeque skewers here? Isn’t it perfectly normal for the Nine-Netherworlds Creed to open chain stores outside?

You are at the Fusion Stage, yet you’re still so easily startled and jumpy. You need to work on cultivating your mental state.

In comparison, Senior Brother Dai displayed remarkable composure. When he learned that the Nine-Netherworlds Creed was planning to open chain stores, he remained composed.

“The Nine-Netherworlds Creed asked me if I had any money-making opportunities, so I told them I happened to have a barbeque shop project that was guaranteed to make money. I asked if they were interested, and they said yes.” Lu Yang concisely summarized the events.

The creed leader and the others thought they had misheard. The Nine-Netherworlds Creed in charge of the barbeque shop’s expansion? Does this sound like something the Nine-Netherworlds Creed would do?

Although Lu Yang made his recount of the matters sound simple, the creed leader and the others were no fools. They believed Lu Yang had omitted many details.

But no matter how much he left out...the idea of the Nine-Netherworlds Creed helping the Dao-Seeking Sect open their barbeque chain stores reeks of bizarreness.

Lu Yang must have used some kind of lie to deceive the Nine-Netherworlds Creed.

But that doesn’t make sense either. Shi Huagu of the Nine-Netherworlds Creed has an arcane spell that can assess whether someone is lying—no one could possibly lie in front of him.

Can’t figure it out.

Forget it. What’s the point of thinking so much? We’re all tiger-henchman ghosts now with no ambitions. As long as the barbeque business prospers, that’s good enough.

Having the Nine-Netherworlds Creed help manage the barbeque business is a good thing. The more people we drag down the water, the merrier.

“In this cooperation with the Nine-Netherworlds Creed, we will provide two vital forms of technical support. As the first branch of One More Time Barbeque Shop, you’re also entitled to them.”

Under the eager gazes of the Everlasting Creed’s higher-ups, Lu Yang retrieved something resembling a bookshelf from his identity jade tablet. “This is the Automated Barbeque Grill. Just place the skewered meat on it, and it’ll grill it automatically.”

Chefs Liu and Gao scoffed and didn’t deign to use it, feeling that this magical treasure was challenging their expertise. “Boss Lu, pardon my bluntness, but food barbecued on such a grill has no soul. We don’t need such a thing.”

Lu Yang mulled over it and found their point valid. After all, Chefs Liu and Gao are at the Advanced Fusion Stage. Their barbecue skills are definitely superior to this magical artifact.

Most importantly, all they can do here is barbecue skewers. If the Automated Barbeque Grill replaces them, they’ll lose their jobs.

“There’s this too—the Three Flavor Pure Yang True Fire Fire Seed.” Lu Yang took out a small jade bottle and opened it. A flickering flame hovered midair in an enigmatic fashion.

The Everlasting Creed’s higher-ups were unfazed, but when the three female ghosts saw the true fire fire seed, an instinctive fear washed over them. The fire seed contained the Pure Yang Fire of a Single’s Golden Core cultivator, exerting an inherent suppression over ghosts and spirits.

Lu Yang smiled. “This is a fusion of the Three Flavor True Fire and Pure Yang True Fire. The Three Flavor True Fire has miraculous effects on barbecue, imparting three distinct flavors. As for the Pure Yang True Fire, it’s different from the version you know. The one I have here has yang virility boosting properties.”

“There’s such a mystical thing in the world?” It wasn’t just the creed leader; even the Everlasting Immortal couldn’t hide his astonishment. Despite possessing the memories of all the creed members, he had never heard of the Three Flavor True Fire and the Pure Yang True Fire that boosted one’s yang virility.

“This Pure Yang True Fire was discovered by a close friend of mine in his pursuit of perfection. I find his spirit of dedication truly admirable.”

The creed leader mused, “The Pure Yang True Fire may be impressive, but it doesn’t seem like the Dao-Seeking Sect will have any use for it, though?”

Everyone in the Dao-Seeking Sect had a high cultivation and didn’t need such enhancing effects. Moreover, the sect already had plenty of yang-boosting herbs. From what Lu Yang knew, the Ginseng Doll’s ginseng was already a supreme yang-boosting remedy.

Realizing they made a reasonable point, Lu Yang stowed away the Three Flavor Pure Yang True Fire Fire Seed. With a flip of his palm, he produced the Three Flavor True Fire instead. “This is the Three Flavor True Fire. You can give it a try and see if it has wondrous effects on barbecue.”

Chef Liu took the flame skeptically and replaced the charcoal. Grabbing ten skewers of tofu skin,[1] he began barbecuing. Under his practiced hands, the tofu skin sizzled and its aroma slowly intensified.

“Everyone, try it.”

After the tofu skin was roasted, everyone took one skewer.

Chef Liu took a bite, and his eyes instantly widened. I’ve grilled something as simple as tofu skin countless times and know its taste like the back of my hand. Yet, with the infusion of the three distinct flavors from the Three Flavor True Fire, the tofu skin now carries an exquisite taste that starts sweet on the palate, then transitions into spiciness.

It has elevated the roasted tofu skin to a whole new level! This is no longer something skill alone can make up for. It’s miraculous! No wonder Qin Yanyan was never satisfied with our barbeque skewers. So this is the reason.

Despite months of painstaking research into barbecuing skewers, we still lost to a Golden Core cultivator. After this, we must go into seclusion and strive for a new comprehension of the Dao of Barbecuing!

“I’ll leave this fire seed to you then.”

Chefs Liu and Gao treated it as a priceless treasure.

“Oh, and Niece, did you tell anyone before leaving Hundred Refinements Peak?”

“I don’t think so.”

“Then you better head back now. If Fifth Elder and Junior Brother Li return to Hundred Refinements Peak and find you missing...”

“They’ll be extremely worried?”

“They’ll forget all about you.”

Qin Yanyan didn’t know how to respond to that. “I’ll go back now.”

Lu Yang stretched lazily, pleased with the good deed he had done.

In truth, if Fifth Elder and Li Haoran discover Qin Yanyan is missing, how could they possibly forget about her? Quite the opposite—they'll be searching for her everywhere.

But if I say that, Qin Yanyan will feel it’s too sappy. Best that I don’t.

He leisurely ambled toward the scripture library.

“Why are you going to the scripture library?” Inside his mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was lying lazily on the bed, her feet pointing upward and her toes wiggling. “If there’s anything you don’t know, I can teach you.”

Lu Yang replied, “I’m planning to extend my self-created cultivation technique, Clear Heart True Nature Mantra. However, my knowledge was limited back then, and I only wrote up to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now that I’m already at the Golden Core Stage, the cultivation technique can’t keep up, so I can only seek inspiration in the scripture library to figure out how to proceed with my cultivation.”

“You could write a cultivation technique at such a young age?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was astonished. Even if it only goes up to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it’s already very impressive.

“How’s that possible? After I wrote it, Big Senior Sister revised parts of it.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy secretly sighed in relief. “I knew it! Even I couldn’t write my own cultivation technique at the Foundation Establishment Stage. How could you possibly do it? How much did Yun Zhi change?”

Lu Yang hesitated for a while before deciding that he should be honest. “She only kept the title.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was stumped for words. “Then you might as well have Yun Zhi that lass write the rest of the cultivation technique for you.”

“One must be independent. How can I rely on Big Senior Sister all the time? Who knows? Maybe this time, the cultivation technique I write will meet her standards.” Lu Yang brimmed with confidence.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stayed silent, suspecting that Lu Yang’s confidence might stem from the Unbeatable Golden Core.

But it’s best not to tell him such a trivial matter.

1. There are many variations, but here’s an example of how BBQ tofu skin skewers may look like. ☜
