Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 524: Except for the time when officials stopped the flying boat, claiming a murderer was suspected to be hiding on board and needed to verify everyone's identity

Seeing Tao Yaoye still in a daze, another burly man quickly said, "The guild also has financial products with annual interest rates ranging from eight to twelve percent, guaranteed profits!"

Tao Yaoye deeply understood what Senior Brother Lu had said about not flaunting wealth to avoid trouble.

And now, trouble had come.

One after another, they introduced various investment plans, funds, low-risk high-return schemes... she couldn't understand any of it.

"No, I don't need it," Tao Yaoye firmly refused.

What was twelve percent interest compared to the returns she could get by investing ten million spirit stones into the Dreamlike Mirage and expanding its scale? The profits would far exceed twelve percent.

"That's a shame," the burly men said, shaking their heads in regret as they saw her resolute attitude.

Such a plump duck, how could it not fall for the bait?

Fortunately, this was just a minor episode, and nothing major happened along the way.

Except for the time when officials stopped the flying boat, claiming a murderer was suspected to be hiding on board and needed to verify everyone's identity. The murderer then lashed out, injuring people, but was subdued by the burly men from the guild.

The murderer shouted that he had poisoned the captain and only he had the antidote. If they didn't release him, the captain would surely die, and the boat would be doomed.

Before anyone could step forward claiming they knew how to pilot the boat, the captain emerged, saying he was a poison cultivator and immune to poison, then returned to piloting the boat.

There was also a Golden Elixir stage cultivator who tried to evade the fare—he had been flying while taking pills, got tired, and sneaked onto the back of the flying boat for a free ride. But his stealth skills were lacking, and he was caught by the ticket-checking array and had to pay up.

And then there was a pregnant woman who went into labor and fainted from the pain. Fortunately, there was an alchemist among the passengers who saved both mother and child.

"Honey, wake up, we're almost there!" The husband held the pregnant woman's hand, shouting loudly, but the intense pain had already caused her to pass out.

Everyone around was anxious, not knowing what to do. If the woman remained unconscious, it could mean both she and the baby might die.

"I'm an alchemist, let me handle this," a female voice rang out. Lu Yang vaguely recognized the voice.

He turned his head to see a female cultivator with golden alchemical patterns on her sleeves, a mark only alchemists could wear. She had an identity jade token from the Seek Tao Sect hanging from her waist.

Lu Yang remembered her; she was Senior Sister Jasmine from Pill Cauldron Peak, someone who had been in the middle ranks when they used to spar.

This meant that among the senior brothers and sisters who had sparred with Lu Yang, Senior Sister Jasmine's strength was mid-tier, at the Elemental Infant stage.

Lu Yang didn't rush to greet her; he wanted to see how Senior Sister Jasmine planned to help the pregnant woman.

Senior Sister Jasmine scanned the pregnant woman with her divine sense, frowning slightly.

The woman's unconscious state was too deep; harsh methods would be needed to wake her, but such methods could harm the baby.

Given the situation, there was only one solution.

Senior Sister Jasmine closed her eyes, and a three-inch-tall little figure flew out from her spiritual platform, entering the pregnant woman's head to temporarily take over her body.

Waa—

Before long, a baby was born with a loud cry.

"All done."

Senior Sister Jasmine's Elemental Infant returned to her body, and she let out a sigh of relief.

The husband, seeing his wife and child safe, excitedly grabbed Senior Sister Jasmine's hand, "Thank you for helping my wife give birth! Thank you so much!"

Senior Sister Jasmine: "..."

If you can't express your gratitude properly, it's better not to say anything.

After much persuasion, Senior Sister Jasmine finally convinced him not to send a banner of thanks.

"Senior Sister Jasmine," Lu Yang greeted her once the matter was settled.

"Junior Brother Lu? And Junior Sister Tao, and this must be Junior Sister Lan Ting from the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace? What are you three doing together?"

Senior Sister Jasmine had a good impression of Lu Yang, given their close physical contact and the fact that blood had been shed.

"We were on a mission, and coincidentally, Junior Sister Lan Ting was on the same mission."

"I see."

"What about you, Senior Sister Jasmine? Are you on a mission too?"

Senior Sister Jasmine shook her sleeves with a hint of pride, "I went to get my alchemist certification. Look, I just got this robe."

"Weren't you already an alchemist a long time ago?" Lu Yang was puzzled, considering Senior Sister Jasmine was already at the Elemental Infant stage.

"Well, that's recognized within the sect. Outside, it's not recognized. Practicing medicine without certification is illegal and can get you arrested. I used to secretly treat people during missions."

"A few days ago, I thought, why not just get certified and save myself the trouble."

"Congratulations on becoming a certified alchemist of the Alchemist Alliance," Lu Yang congratulated her with a cupped fist, and Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting followed suit.

Senior Sister Jasmine waved her hand, recalling the troublesome exam process, "What's there to congratulate? The exam was a hassle. I went on the wrong day, entered the wrong exam hall, and only realized after the exam that it was for the branch president selection. No wonder the competition was so tough, almost at my level."

"I got first place, but when they confirmed my identity, they found out I wasn't even an alchemist and wasn't qualified for the exam."

"So I had to go to the apprentice alchemist exam hall. I was refining pills while a bunch of alchemy masters stood behind me, learning from me. It was annoying."

Lu Yang thought Senior Sister Jasmine should consider the pressure on the apprentice alchemists taking the exam with her.

"As you can see, I successfully became an alchemist."

"The Alchemist Alliance even asked if I wanted to be a branch president. I thought it was too much trouble, so I declined. In the end, they gave me an honorary branch president title."

Senior Sister Jasmine took out a golden alchemical cauldron badge from her identity jade token, with "Jasmine" engraved on the back.

Lu Yang: "..."

Should he say that Senior Sister Jasmine from Pill Cauldron Peak truly had an extraordinary way of doing things?

After helping the pregnant woman give birth, nothing else happened, and the flying boat safely arrived at the Seek Tao Sect.

"Goodbye, Junior Sister Lan!"

"Goodbye!"

Lu Yang and Lan Ting waved farewell.

This flying boat had two stops: the Seek Tao Sect and the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace.

Upon arriving at the Seek Tao Sect, they saw a junior brother named Meng Jingzhou passing by.

"You're out of seclusion?" Lu Yang casually called out to Meng Jingzhou.

"Seclusion?" Meng Jingzhou looked confused.

Tao Yaoye smiled and said, "Senior Brother Meng, have you forgotten? A few days ago, I wanted to invite you and Senior Brother Lu on a mission, but you were in seclusion, so it ended up being just me and Senior Brother Lu."

Meeting Tao Yaoye's calm yet slightly threatening gaze, Meng Jingzhou suddenly understood.

"Oh right, I was in seclusion those days. Just came out, my mind's a bit foggy."

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
