Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 455: Immortal lineage, four heads of the family

Seek Tao Sect, Hundred Refinements Peak.

Li Haoran was still reminiscing about the bits and pieces of his past life with Mu Baiyi.

Mu Baiyi, as the new generation's deputy leader, was young and ambitious. Qin Haoran held him in high regard.

"Mu Baiyi was also a pitiful child. He grew up poor, and after becoming a cultivator, he joined a sect hoping to make money. But instead of earning much, the sect closed down first."

"Later, he saw that the Jiuyou Sect had good monthly offerings, so he joined them."

"He said he originally wanted to join the Immortal Sect since their monthly offerings were three times that of local officials."

"Then why didn't he join?" Qin Yanyan interjected.

"The Immortal Sect was too well-hidden, and he couldn't find its entrance. The Jiuyou Sect was easy to find; just look for a wild ghost, and there's a one in ten chance it's from the Jiuyou Sect. Following the clues, he found the Jiuyou Sect."

"Of course, that was in the past. Later, Qin Haoran realized this method was too risky and could easily get caught by the righteous path. So, he learned from the Immortal Sect, making the Jiuyou Sect hard to find as well."

"Once, Qin Haoran heard that running a bank was profitable and wanted to start one. But he was afraid no one would deposit money, which would be embarrassing. So, he had Mu Baiyi disguise himself as various people to deposit money on the opening day."

"Just hiring shills, a common business tactic." Thanks to Qin Haoran's memories, Li Haoran was now well-versed in all sorts of underhanded business methods.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Did the bank open?"

"No, Qin Haoran forgot to get government approval, and they were both arrested for illegally collecting public deposits."

"We explained that no one actually deposited money; it was all staged by us."

"Did the government release you?"

"No, they said we were guilty of both illegal deposit collection and fraud, and we were punished for both."

Lu Yang: "..."

Qin Yanyan: "..."

"During their time in prison, they studied law diligently and were released after serving their sentence, returning as legal experts." Li Haoran hadn't fully absorbed Qin Haoran's memories yet, or he would be a legal scholar by now.

"Fortunately, Qin Haoran had foresight and arranged everything before going to prison, ensuring the sect's deficit wasn't exposed."

This showed Qin Haoran's exceptional foresight.

Li Haoran wanted to continue talking about the glorious days of the Jiuyou Sect when a cold figure appeared behind him.

"Eldest Senior Sister."

"Eldest Senior Sister." Qin Yanyan, a member of the Heavenly Court Sect, had struggled with whether to call Yun Zhi the sect leader or Eldest Senior Sister. After some internal conflict, she chose to follow the crowd.

"Eldest Senior Sister, I was just confirming with Junior Brother Li that the man in Hanshui City wearing a white paper hat is the Jiuyou Sect's leader, Mu Baiyi."

"Jiuyou Sect's leader Mu Baiyi? Got it. You did well. Junior Brother, come with me."

Lu Yang obediently stood by Eldest Senior Sister's side and followed her back to Tianmen Peak.

"Eldest Senior Sister, is there something you need from me?"

"Not from you, but from the Immortal Fairy."

"Looking for me?" The Immortal Fairy, hearing this, sprang up from the bed and cheerfully emerged from the spiritual space.

"What's the matter?" The Immortal Fairy, rarely seeing Yun Zhi needing her help, was in high spirits, feeling ten years younger.

Now she was only six years old.

"The Emperor of Xia has a problem with his lifespan, with about ten years left. The Little Medicine King is useless to him. Do you have any ideas?"

Lu Yang was shocked by this news. The outside world said the Emperor of Xia was in his prime, achieving great things, and the future of Great Xia looked bright. How could he suddenly have only a few years left to live?

The Immortal Fairy, excited and eager, said, "When are we starting the uprising?"

She believed the Seek Tao Sect had the potential to seize the world. When the time was right, with the world responding, success was inevitable!

Wasn't this the strategy Lu Yang had given to the Jiuyou Sect?

With her and Yun Zhi as top-tier combat forces, becoming emperors would be a piece of cake!

"…Not an uprising. Do you have a way to extend his lifespan?"

The Immortal Fairy's Dao fruit characteristic was immortality. Even if she died, reciting her title and name could revive her. Not even the Little Medicine King could envy such an ability.

In Yun Zhi's impression, the Immortal Fairy was the most likely to solve the Emperor of Xia's problem.

"Give him an embryonic form of an Immortal Dao fruit and make him the fourth head of the Immortal lineage?"

Everything had its order, and the last to join naturally ranked last.

The Immortal lineage was strong, with the first head being the leader of the five ancient immortals, the second head a Golden Core ancestor, the third head a half-immortal, and the fourth head the current emperor.

Lu Yang suddenly felt that his position as the second head of the Immortal lineage was quite significant.

"The royal family won't agree to that." Yun Zhi shook her head.

The Emperor of Xia becoming the fourth head of the Immortal lineage would surely infuriate the royal family, who might challenge the Immortal Fairy to a duel.

Moreover, this would expose the Immortal Fairy's existence.

Yun Zhi wanted a method that everyone could see.

"If the Little Medicine King is useless, then it's an immortal fruit... My immortal fruit can preserve a corpse, but it's only useful after death."

"The immortal fruits of Kylin Immortal and Heavenly Immortal Ying don't have the effects of immortality or prolonging life either."

"Does he have any sons? Find some water from the Mother-Child River to leave him a descendant."

"He has nine sons and seven daughters."

"That's a lot of children, like a piglet." The Immortal Fairy muttered, thinking even the water from the Mother-Child River and Twin River couldn't compare to the Emperor of Xia's fertility.

The Kylin Immortal and the prodigies of the Dragon and Phoenix clans had tried for years without producing a single Kylin.

The higher the cultivation, the harder it was to have offspring.

"Wait." The Immortal Fairy suddenly remembered something. "There is a world spirit root, a peach tree, naturally born and not considered a heavenly treasure. The peaches it bears can extend life!"

"The five of us have eaten peaches from that tree. They were delicious and juicy."

"Where is this world spirit root?" Eldest Senior Sister had never heard of such a thing, and it wasn't recorded in ancient texts.

"I don't know. The peach tree has legs and ran away after we picked its peaches."

Eldest Senior Sister nodded. This was a clue, but it wouldn't be easy to find. She told Lu Yang to continue cultivating while she consulted other elders.

After Eldest Senior Sister left, Lu Yang, deep in thought, turned towards the Scripture Repository.

"Where are you going?"

"I vaguely remember seeing a spell related to longevity in the Scripture Repository, buried at the bottom. It might be useful."
