Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 250: The Sensible Huang Doudou

After leaving the merchant guide and temporarily parting ways with the Eagle Mountain Five Heroes, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou returned to the inn. They asked the waiter to buy some quality dishes nearby and deliver them to their rooms.

“By the way, no tofu,” Lu Yang reminded the waiter before heading upstairs.

“The bed is still the best!” Upon returning to his room, Lu Yang pounced onto the bed with an expression of pure bliss.

“Right? Sleeping is very comfortable.” Having been dead for three hundred thousand years, a certain Huang Doudou wholeheartedly agreed with Lu Yang’s sentiment.

She now spent her days sleeping in the mental space, sleeping more when she was in a good mood and less when in a bad mood. Thankfully, I’m always in a good mood.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy waited a long time but didn’t receive a response from Lu Yang. Only then did she realize that Lu Yang had fallen deeply asleep, his mouth slightly open.

The past few days in the jungle had been exhausting. Lu Yang had to be on constant alert like a taut string. The moment he encountered a comfortable environment, his entire body relaxed.

Meng Jingzhou’s situation was not much different. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Pampered since childhood, his family could give him anything, even plucking the stars from the sky. He naturally had never experienced such hardships in the jungle.

“Guests, your meal has arrived.” The waiter knocked on the door lightly.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was worried that the noise would wake Lu Yang up, so she temporarily took control of Lu Yang’s body and went to open the door.

“Shh, keep it down, he’s sleeping!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy placed a finger to her lips, signaling to the waiter that he was too loud.

The waiter handed over the tray and instinctively lowered his voice, “Understood, guest.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy took the meal and closed the door. She placed the food on the table and controlled Lu Yang’s body to return to the bed, arranging him in the same position, as though nothing had happened.

“So boring, I’ll sleep too.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy yawned and fell asleep inside the mental space.

When the waiter reached the stairs, he suddenly remembered the state of the room he had glimpsed from the corner of his eye. “Wasn’t the guest who opened the door the only person in the room? Who’s sleeping?”

He felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine, as if someone was watching him, and subconsciously sped up his pace down the stairs.

“Immortals, please bless me! Immortals, please bless me! I haven’t done anything wrong!”

~~~

“Feels amazing!” Lu Yang stirred awake. “What smells so good?”

He was stupefied to see the spread on the table—three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup.

Where on earth did the food come from? I remember telling the waiter to deliver the food, but I don’t remember opening the door.

“Do I have the habit of sleepwalking?” Lu Yang scratched his head, thinking his mind was still foggy from just waking up.

To be fair, the waiter had a decent taste in food. The dishes were delicious and packed with local flavor. It was tender, likely made with Foundation Establishment demon beasts, which could replenish spirit energy and rejuvenate the mind.

Originally, Lu Yang thought about asking the Everlasting Immortal Fairy whether she wanted to occupy his body for the time being to try the local specialties, but he noticed that she was still asleep and didn’t wake her up.

After having his fill, Lu Yang was invigorated and in high spirits, completely different from last night.

He went next door to look for Meng Jingzhou.

“You’re saying you want me to teach you the Arhat Fist?” Meng Jingzhou was slightly stunned to hear Lu Yang’s request.

“I thought about it this morning. I’ve made decent progress in spells and sword techniques, but I lack a fist technique in my repertoire. The battlefield is unpredictable, and who knows when a fist technique might come in handy?”

“Don’t you know the Animal Form Fist?”

“And then summon Big Senior Sister?”

Meng Jingzhou agreed that it was a bit overboard. If you fight like that, the battle won’t be fun anymore; it’s practically summoning a deity. Besides, Lu Yang’s Animal Form Fist is more like a Shapeshifting Technique rather than a fist technique.

“Is it possible for you to teach me?”

“My shifu is not averse to sharing this technique with others. Though the Arhat Fist is rare, you can also learn it from Big Senior Sister when you go back. It’s just a matter of whether you learn it from me or her.”

As long as you know the name of a spell or technique, you can learn it from Big Senior Sister. If she really doesn’t know, she could create a new version based on the name.

“That’s great then.” Lu Yang was fired up at the thought of learning another fist technique.

“You’d rather learn the Arhat Fist than my Arhat Fruit Fist?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stomped her feet in anger. The name “Arhat Fist” doesn’t sound strong at all, nowhere as nice-sounding as the Immortal Fairy Fist Technique.

“When you master Arhat Fruit Fist, you can continue to learn over a thousand other fist techniques like the Sichuan Peppercorn Fist[1], Star Anise Fist, and Cumin Fist. Once you internalize them all, you’ll be able to learn the Immortal Fairy Fist Technique, and you’ll be unbeatable in the world!”

Lu Yang could only sigh at the imaginary grand vision the Everlasting Immortal Fairy promised. “As long as you change the name of your fist techniques, I’ll learn it.”

In battles, others display mighty moves like the Eight-Extremes Fist[2] and Heaven-Shaking Six Forms. If someone asks me who I learned it from and what fist technique I’m using, I can’t possibly say that this is the Immortal Fairy Fist Technique.

I’ll lose in terms of grandeur before the battle even begins.

~~~

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou rented a closed-off training ground and began learning the Arhat Fist.

“I won’t tell you about the history of the Arhat Fist since it’s just memorization; you can look it up yourself when you have time.” Meng Jingzhou skipped the formalities and went straight to hands-on teaching.

“The overall sequence emphasizes breaking the bottom from the top and the top from the bottom, pointing to the right and striking the left, making a feint in the east and attacking the west, and highlighting unpredictability, speed, and variation. At the same time, it uses qi to emit sounds like thunder to boost morale and amplify one’s might.

“Just like this.”

Meng Jingzhou stood upright with his arms naturally at his sides. Staring straight ahead, his left foot stepped half a step to the left, while both palms moved upward and outward in an arc.

“Ha!”

His demonstration looked the part, resembling an angry vajra with an imposing might that seemed to have come from hell, while his booming and resonant voice sounded like the Buddhist Lion Roar Art.

“The sea of suffering is boundless; turning back leads to the shore![3]

“This is the Horse Stance Single Whip!

“This is the Extended Step Piercing Fist!

“This is the Great Peng Sweeping Claw!”

Meng Jingzhou showcased every move of the Arhat Fist, making Lu Yang’s heart surge with exhilaration. When he finished his sequence, he had fully displayed the essence of the Arhat Fist, as though an actual arhat monk had appeared before Lu Yang, vanquishing demons and dispelling evil.

Upon recalling that Third Elder’s unique technique, the “Heaven-Shaking Six Forms,” was derived from the Arhat Fist, Lu Yang was even more excited. Perhaps I can also comprehend other fist techniques through studying the Arhat Fist.

“Speaking of which, has Third Elder ever told you how he comprehended ‘Heaven-Shaking Six Forms’ from the Arhat Fist?” Lu Yang asked, thinking he might be able to draw on Third Elder’s experience.

“Yes, he did.” Meng Jingzhou thought back. “Shifu said that when he was younger, he traveled to the Golden Buddhist Kingdom and met an old man proficient in the Arhat Fist. The elderly man was called the Devil-Subduing Arhat, and he beat Shifu like he was a grandson.

“Shifu was forced to flee and scurry away while covering his head to avoid being beaten further. In his desperate straits, he exploded with power and invented his own fist technique, the ‘Heaven-Shaking Six Forms.’”

Lu Yang, “...”

Why does this process of developing a fist technique sound so different from what I’d imagined?

“So, did Third Elder defeat him in the end?”

“No, the other party was one major cultivation realm above Shifu.”
