Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

Chapter 10 - Danding Peak Even the Smell Is Fragrant

Lu Yang bade farewell to Zhou Lulu and arrived at Danding Peak. Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, he could smell a strong medicinal aroma.

"Danding Peak is indeed worthy of its name. Even the air is filled with fragrance. Even the legendary Heavenly Mountain and Heavenly Island are nothing compared to this."

Lu Yang could not help but take two more breaths. His body felt light as a feather, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

"Junior brother, don't breathe!"

Not far away, a loud shout could be heard. Seeing Lu Yang take two more breaths, the owner of the voice became even more anxious.

"Junior brother, hurry up and use the Tortoise Breathing Technique. Eh, you look like a mortal. Quickly cover your nose. This is the smell of poison that I accidentally released when refining pills..."

These were the last words Lu Yang heard before he fainted.

"What the hell is this place? Even the smell is poisonous..." Lu Yang mumbled. His body was unsteady, and he felt like the world was spinning. Then, he blacked out and fell to the ground.

Reality proved that the smell had nothing to do with whether it was poisonous or not.

When Lu Yang woke up again, he saw a big face in front of him. Lu Yang was so scared that he woke up.

The person laughed sheepishly, "Junior brother Lu, you're awake. It doesn't hurt anymore right?"

The jade pendant clearly stated Lu Yang's identity.

Lu Yang blinked his eyes, feeling sore all over. It was as if someone had rolled him into a ball and rolled him out with a rolling pin.

This was an alchemy room. The smell of herbs was strong, and the temperature was much higher than outside. In the middle of the room was a huge alchemy furnace, surrounded by shelves. On the shelves were bundles of herbs and white porcelain bottles. Inside the bottles were pills that had been successfully refined.

On the floor were piles of drawings of alchemy methods and caged white mice. Those unfamiliar with this place would not even be able to find a place to stand.

There was only one bed in the alchemy room, and that was the one Lu Yang was lying on.

"My name is Wu Ming. I'm sorry, junior brother. I was thinking about something when I was refining pills. I lost focus for a moment and did not control the fire properly. Hence, the pills turned into poison."

"But you don't have to worry. Even though I often make poisons by accident, I have never poisoned anyone to death." Wu Ming said proudly.

… I'm even more worried now that you put it that way.

Lu Yang got up with difficulty and moved his butt to lean against the corner of the bed and the wall. He felt better this way.

Lu Yang felt an itch in his head. He touched the back of his head. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Since I only inhaled the poisonous gas, why is the back of my head wrapped in gauze?"

Wu Ming explained embarrassedly, "I was careless when I was carrying you, and your head hit the ground.

You don't have to worry too much. As long as you're still alive, Danding Peak will be able to treat you! "

"The medicinal pills I have on hand are too strong for you to take. Look, while you were in a coma, I specially refined medicinal pills that can be taken by mortals for you." Wu Ming offered two pills to Lu Yang as if he was presenting a treasure.

The pill was golden in color, and there were three rings on top of it. Lu Yang knew that these were Pill Veins, representing that the refined pill had reached a near-perfect level.

Lu Yang still did not dare to eat it.

He had only come to Danding Peak to ask for a few Fasting Pills. But before he could do anything, he was already lying on his bed with bandages wrapped around his head.

If he were to eat anything else, even the King of Hell would praise him for being reckless.

"It's not poisonous, really." Wu Ming promised again.

Seeing that Lu Yang did not believe him, Wu Ming found a white mouse to demonstrate.

The white mouse seemed to know that it was about to die. When Wu Ming brought it out, it was still squeaking, saying goodbye to its wife and child.

The white mouse swallowed the pill and fell to the ground, dead. Its wife and child cried pitifully, as if they saw their future.

Lu Yang: "..."

Wu Ming: "..."

"Accident, it's all an accident. The white mouse is small in size and died with just a little poison. It's definitely different for humans.

I know what went wrong. Wait a moment, I'll make you a new one. "

Lu Yang quickly diverted Wu Ming's attention. "Senior brother, you said you were thinking about something and lost your mind. What are you thinking about?"

Wu Ming really diverted his attention. He summarized the wording: "Medicinal pills, medicinal pills, the focus is on the word 'medicine' at the back. Medicinal pills can naturally cure diseases and save people, but fasting pills are not for patients. Why are they also counted as medicinal pills?"

"If Fasting Pills belong to the category of pills, then pills are not only for curing illnesses and saving lives, they can also be eaten as food."

"If Fasting Pills do not belong to the category of pills, then what does Fasting Pills belong to?"

Lu Yang felt that if he did not put his brain into the furnace for three days and three nights, he would not be able to think of such a question.

"Speaking of Fasting Pills, the only thing that can be eaten by mortals here is Fasting Pills. There are strawberry, apple and watermelon flavored ones. Do you want some? They're not poisonous." Wu Ming took out a bunch of colorful candies.

Lu Yang thought of Yama's expectations and did not choose to accept Wu Ming's gift. There were many people on Danding Peak who were practicing cultivating the Fasting Pill. No matter who it was, they would be safer than Senior Brother Wu Ming.

"Junior brother, if you need any pills, remember to look for me. It's free." Wu Ming sent Lu Yang off enthusiastically.

Lu Yang limped and quickened his pace.

The next day, Danding Peak's Seventh Elder heard of Lu Yang's tragic experience and sent Lu Yang a real pill that could cure mortals, as well as a gourd of Fasting Pills.

Lu Yang recovered.

...

In the following month, Lu Yang's life was very fulfilling. He wandered around the Sutra Depository, Yan Chuanfeng, and the Immortal's Cave. Lu Yang greedily learned and absorbed the cultivation knowledge that he had never come across before. He was like a traveler in the desert who saw a clear spring, hungry and thirsty.

Meng Jingzhou became the Third Elder's disciple, Man Gu became the Fourth Elder's disciple, the Fire Spirit Root Li Haoran became the Fifth Elder's disciple, and Tao Tianye became the Sixth Elder's disciple …

This made Lu Yang feel rather strange. He thought that Man Gu would be like Meng Jingzhou and become a disciple of the Third Elder. The Third Elder was a famous body cultivator in the Immortal Cultivation World, and no one dared to fight with him. Man Gu, who had the bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, was most suitable to be taught by the Third Elder.

On the other hand, the Fourth Elder was a Confucian cultivator. He was very knowledgeable and wasn't famous for his strength. It was unknown why Brutal Bone would choose him as his teacher.

The Fifth Elder was good at refining weapons, and Li Haoran had a Fire Spiritual Root, so he was a suitable candidate.

Lu Yang had never seen the Sixth Elder before, but he heard that she was a breathtakingly beautiful woman who had an immortal body similar to Tao Tianye.

Man Gu becoming the Fourth Elder's disciple wasn't the most eye-catching. The most eye-catching one was Lu Yang himself, who became the disciple of the mysterious Sect Leader.

It was said that the Sect Leader hadn't taken in any disciples for more than a hundred years and was living a carefree life. The disciples were all discussing and couldn't understand why the Sect Leader, who was still in seclusion, would accept Lu Yang as his disciple.

Under everyone's envious gazes, Lu Yang was brought to Tianmen Peak by Senior Sister Yunzhi, where the Sect Leader was.
