Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 529: Chapter 528: Meng Family’s Attack Method (Request for monthly tickets)_1

“This is the Scripture Pavilion, which contains every book available on the market. Disciples are free to read the first floor, but to access the second or higher floors, you need to complete tasks to exchange for access,”

The Five Elements Sect also has a Task Hall. Unlike Seek Dao Sect, where the disciples can freely learn this realm’s techniques when they reach a particular Cultivation Level, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect need to complete tasks first to study the desired techniques.

This system was established at the establishment of the Five Elements Sect. The theory was that the law should not be passed on casually. When something is obtained too easily, it may not be valued, but rewards gained through effort are cherished.

“However, as disciples here to study in the Five Elements Sect, we cannot expect you to also exchange contributions. As per tradition, you can each choose one technique. If you want to learn more, you will need to complete tasks.”

“This is the lecture hall. Later, the Elder of Passing Skills will explain to you the ‘Five Elements General Outline’. It’s a requisite course for every disciple in our sect. But, of course, we won’t forcibly impose our Five Elements Sect’s theories on you. Just listen, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask the Elder.”

“This is the Martial Skill Spreading Hall. Disciples of the Five Elements Sect usually practice here on regular days.”

On several large platforms fortified by Array Methods, disciples dressed in robes of the Five Elements Sect were showcasing their elemental magic skills. The fierce battles made even the platforms shake slightly, triggering rounds of cheers from the audience.

Even from a distance, Lu Yang could feel the waves of energy produced by the battles. His hair was blowing slightly.

The platform was intense, shards of rock scattered across the ground. A senior brother from the Five Elements Sect pointed at the rubble and shouted, “Transform stones into gold!”

The rocks turned into shiny gold.

Then the senior brother coated all the gold with his Spiritual Sense and cast another magic skill: “A Thousand Gold Throw!”

The shining gold transformed into tangible forces distorting the very fabric of space. The golden forces surged toward their opponent under the influence of the magic skill!

“Is this the legendary technique that transforms wealth into an attack?” Tao Yaoye was astonished. She thought this technique was long lost, but she never imagined seeing it on display in the Five Elements Sect.

Bai Ming explained, “A Thousand Gold Throw is a secret technique of the Golden Meridian. It’s powerful and Elder Zhang innovated it by connecting ‘Transform stones into gold’ with the ‘A Thousand Gold Throw,’ forming a linked technique.

“However, it has its drawbacks. After all, gold is a mundane entity whose value isn’t high. Elder Zhang compensated for the lack of quality with quantity to achieve the desired attack effect.”

“Impressive thinking,” Lu Yang admired. He was already encountering these innovative thoughts upon his arrival at the Five Elements Sect, suggesting that he would undoubtedly learn many things in his journey here.

“Old Meng, do you want to learn this technique?” Lu Yang thought Meng Jingzhou was the most suitable for learning ‘A Thousand Gold Throw.’ Imagine the massive power when Meng Jingzhou transforms gold, jewels, and Spirit Stones into attacks.

Meng Jingzhou shook his head in disapproval, “My Meng Family knows ‘A Thousand Gold Throw’ as well, but our ancestors explicitly forbade us from practicing this skill. They termed it as a forbidden technique.”

“Why?” Lu Yang was puzzled.

“Can you imagine a scene where a son quarrels with his father, and the son uses ‘A Thousand Gold Throw’ to use up all of his father’s Spirit Stones?”

“That guy made it more illuminating as compared to the New Year fireworks, making the Imperial City as bright as daytime even late into the night. The noise was so loud nobody could sleep, and as a result, dozens of people surrounded our Meng Family in the middle of the night.”

In the past, the Meng family offended others one by one. Yet, this time they managed to offend the entire Imperial City in one fell swoop. Even the Meng family couldn’t withstand the ire of the entire city.

Lu Yang: “…”

From now on, I will never confess that I know you when I am in Imperial City to avoid being targeted by unknown enemies.

Meng Jingzhou continued, “Moreover, our Meng family has more remarkable techniques, no need to learn this one.”

“More remarkable techniques, like what?” Lu Yang became more curious.

Meng Jingzhou continued, “I’m not very well aware of the technical details, but I can tell you how to use this technique.”

“During combat, throw a considerable pile of Spirit Stones at the enemy. Consequently, the ownership of Spirit Stones goes from the Meng family to the opponent. Then, urge the opponent to return the Spirit Stones promptly. If they don’t, the force of heavenly punishment, thunderstrike, will descend upon them and end their lives!”

Lu Yang looked askance, why does this technique sound so familiar?

“Oh yes, the thunderstrike force is also known as the ‘Debt Repayment Thunder’.”

Lu Yang also found the name of this heavenly punishment force familiar.

He glanced at Meng Jingzhou, and then at Li Haoran, who was entirely engrossed in the spectacle and oblivious to this conversation. Could it be that the person Qin Haoran borrowed money from long ago was the Meng Family?

Lu Yang finally decided to keep quiet about this matter. As the Eldest Senior Brother, he wanted to maintain brotherly affection within the sect, regardless of any past wrongs. Judging from Li Haoran inheriting memories from Qin Haoran earlier, he either hasn’t remembered who Qin Haoran borrowed money from, or perhaps the Meng family borrowed against a false identity and engaged in lending malpractice.

Let it be, so much time has passed since then. Qin Haoran is already dead, and now the one who owes the debt is Vice Headmaster Shi, so let the matter rest.

Bai Ming looked at Meng Jingzhou with a strange expression, “No wonder the Meng family has so many enemies. Just this combat style is enough to be deemed unscrupulous.”

Meng Jingzhou defended his family’s method vehemently, “What are you talking about? This is a legitimate use of the force of heavenly punishment. Is it wrong to utilize natural law? Which advancement of the human race was not due to understanding and applying natural rules?”

Bai Ming then led the five to a scorching hot location. Fire occasionally sprung from the ground, heating the terra cotta-hued earth. The temperature could be felt even through their boots. If they were not already at the Golden Core Stage, they would be dehydrated by now.

“This is the cultivation ground of the Fire Vein. It harbors various True Fires. Practicing fire attribute techniques or Fire Spirit Root here would lead to twice the results with half the effort. One could also learn about the essence of True Fire.”

“My Daoist friend Li should find this relevant.”

Li Haoran felt the most intense connection. Just standing here for a moment caused the spiritual essence in his body to bubble up, and his technique automatically began to rotate and cultivate.

He was a Fire Spirit Root, and this place suited him perfectly.

“Can I cultivate here?” Li Haoran felt like this place was a treasure tailor-made for him.

Bai Ming revealed a troubled look and hesitantly said, “Your Master is Elder Zhou Xin, isn’t he?”

“Yes.”

“And does he possess numerous True Fires?”

“Yes, my Master’s Refining room contains all sorts of True Fires. He can use them whenever he needs to refine anything.”

Lu Yang had seen Fifth Elder refining. The Fifth Elder had used several True Fires when refining the Dark Moon Sword.

“Elder Zhou Xin obtained several True Fires from Elder Huomai but used some unscrupulous methods. Elder Huomai might not vent his anger on his junior, but we can’t say the same for his disciples.”

“I advise you, don’t practice here alone. It’s unsafe.”

Li Haoran: “…”
