Your Immortal Cultivation World Is Not In Good Taste.

Chapter 9: Candlelit Night

Today, although Wu You ascended Emerald Cloud Peak, he did not meditate and cultivate.

"Disciple, Master... I haven't prepared the necessary items for Transcending Tribulation yet, so I can only temporarily suppress your cultivation level," Jiang Bing said to him before leaving Emerald Cloud Peak yesterday.

So now...

He is waiting for Jiang Bing, who is on the opposite side, to come and translate the words on the stone tablet that he is flipping through.

He has already shown him the spiritual fruit.

Jiang Bing is not an alchemist, so naturally he didn't recognize it, but he confirmed that it was harmless.

"Hiss..."

After looking at it for a long time, Jiang Bing put the stone tablet back into his storage ring and shook his head.

"This stone tablet has at least tens of millions of years of history. Even I can't discern what it records."

"Then is there no one in the world who can translate it?" Wu You asked.

Jiang Bing didn't hesitate to answer this question:

"If you were to send it to the Jianmu School, those bookworms there might recognize it."

But after saying that, his expression turned serious: "You must not have the idea of going there. Those guys... they can do anything for the sake of research."

Wu You nodded to indicate his understanding.

To be honest, he was quite interested. Who would have thought that there were researchers in the Immortal Cultivation World...

"By the way, Master, do Demonic Beasts not have Beast Cores?" Wu You asked, thinking of the Xuanjia Zhi and the group of Demonic Beasts he had killed before.

"Hmm?" Jiang Bing was taken aback and asked in return, "What is a Beast Core?"

Wu You was also taken aback.

That's right.

If the Demonic Beasts in this realm don't have Beast Cores... then they wouldn't even have this concept.

But he quickly responded, "They don't? When I was at the foot of the mountain, there were rumors in the mortal world that Demonic Beasts have Beast Cores..."

Jiang Bing shook his head with a disdainful expression.

"Those are just nonsense from the ants in the mortal world. Demonic Beasts are just Demonic Beasts. How could they have something like a Gold Core that cultivators have?"

The master and disciple chatted for a while longer.

It wasn't a good idea to just stay on Emerald Cloud Peak without cultivating, so Wu You soon flew back to his residence on his sword.

...

The sun was already high in the sky.

Wu You sat in the courtyard he had been longing for, leisurely drinking tea and carving a small wooden sculpture in his hand.

It was called carving, but he didn't actually use his hands. He just used a strand of spiritual energy to scrape off the wood bit by bit.

This was also a good method for refining his Soul Refining technique and precision in manipulating spiritual energy.

The fine wood shavings fell and scattered with the wind.

Soon, a small Virgil stood on the table, its details so precise that even when enlarged to life-size, no flaws could be seen.

After putting away the old Ding Tou who held the rebellious blade in his hand, Wu You took out the Immobilization Technique from his storage ring.

Actually... he had been coveting this thing for a long time.

Wu You spread the book on the table and slowly flipped through it.

The earliest time he learned about this spell was when Sun Great Saint immobilized the Seven Fairies.

At that time, he only felt that this spell was so powerful, and how amazing Sun Great Saint's Divine Ability was!

But upon closer inspection, he realized that Sun Great Saint was still too stubborn and naive... Wasn't there more to the Immobilization Technique?

If it were Sun Wukong, the story of the seven little gourd dolls would follow...

Ahem...

Back to the topic, the Immobilization Technique is quite powerful when used for imprisonment and assisting in battles. It's worth studying carefully.

Wu You focused his mind and carefully studied the technique.

He softly recited the mantras, and the spiritual energy in his palms probed and operated along the trajectory on the technique, occasionally stopping to correct himself.

Beyond his thoughts, time quietly passed...

...

A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves to fall.

A small orange wild cat chased after a floating bamboo leaf and stumbled into Wu You's courtyard.

The bamboo leaf fell to the ground, and the little cat played with it for a moment.

Meow, wake up!

...

I couldn't wake it up.

The fallen leaves ignored the kitten, and the cat lost interest in it as well, raising its head and looking around in confusion.

"!!"

Seeing what it had discovered, a person!

The little cat approached quietly, taking light steps.

When it was only a few steps away from Wu You, it stopped moving forward and crouched down in place, tensing its muscles, with its hind legs ready to pounce...

After a moment, in a quiet instant, its instincts told it that the time had come.

Hunt with gusto!!

A flash of orange darted past, hitting the target head-on!

Wu You lowered his head and saw an orange kitten pounce onto his shoe, engaging in a battle with the tip of his shoe!

He couldn't help but laugh.

With his Foundation Building Late Stage mental strength, he had long noticed this little orange cat, but he didn't want to disturb its play...

By now, he had been practicing for half an hour, and he was in high spirits. He already had an Immobilization Technique ready in his hand.

Since it had come to him, he couldn't blame anyone else.

"Freeze."

Wu You flicked his wrist, and the Immobilization Technique that had been building up power for a long time instantly hit the kitten in the face.

Like being pressed on the pause button, the little orange cat's limbs immediately stiffened, and even when it fell to the ground off-balance, it maintained its frozen posture.

Just like a lively cat figurine.

This Immobilization Technique was indeed effective, and easy to understand.

Wu You squatted down, picked up the frozen kitten, and waved his hand to release the Immobilization Technique on its body.

"Meow??" The little cat looked around anxiously.

With a cat's brain, it couldn't understand what had just happened. It stood dumbfounded for a while, then struggled in Wu You's hands.

The time was right, time to pet the cat.

Wu You lowered his head, buried his nose in the kitten's belly, took a deep breath, and only lifted his face after a while, letting out a satisfied long sigh.

He looked at this little guy.

Its mottled patterns resembled a little tiger, quite majestic, and its orange fur was also quite pure. It definitely had the potential to flatten the kang bed.

Let's check its butt...

It's still a little male cat.

The more he looked, the more he liked it.

He had also raised two cats on Earth before, so he was definitely a cat lover.

Who could resist cats?

But they say that the small animals the protagonist encounters by chance are all divine beasts.

Thinking of this, Wu You simply closed his eyes and slowly spread out his mental strength...

There were some creatures in the surrounding bamboo forest, but they were all birds and snakes. When he spread out a bit more, he did find the figure of a wild cat, but it didn't have a lactating mother.

"So you got lost?"

Wu You lifted the kitten and faced it.

The little orange cat meowed, it just wanted to get down.

The human on the other side, however, thought that their encounter was fate and wanted to replace buying with kidnapping.

The joys and sorrows of humans and cats are not the same, it just felt noisy.

"From now on, you will be my cat, and you can call me the Great King!"

Wu You said as he rubbed the kitten's head.

Picking up a cat for free, feeling relaxed.

"Oh, by the way, I have to come up with a name for you..."

Wu You was a bit hesitant, his talent for naming was really not that great.

"My surname is Wu, how about you also have the surname Wu? Let me think... Wu Di, do you think it sounds good?"

"Haha—" The little orange cat opened its mouth in a threatening manner, and its tail stood on end.

"It seems like you don't like it..."

Wu You was thinking hard, trying to come up with a good-sounding name from his mind. Suddenly, he saw the bamboo leaves lying quietly on the ground.

"How about calling you Zhuye (Bamboo Leaf)!"

Since this little cat had come chasing after the dancing bamboo leaves, taking the homonym of bamboo leaves was quite appropriate, and it also had the meaning of illuminating the night, matching its sun-like fur color!

...

On this day, Wu You gained a cat and was extremely happy.
