Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1002 - 1001: Falling into a Trap

```

After explaining the meaning of the Earth Ranking, Lu Yang pulled Old Meng to accumulate merit before Tang Qiaoqiao and Cui Que’er arrived, truly racing against time to squeeze out moments to enjoy.

Lu Yang also didn’t dare to neglect this bunch of lascivious monks and insect cultivators, uncertain whether this reincarnation would be the last.

If luck wasn’t on his side and it turned out to be the final round of reincarnation, failing to account for any single person could cause a major uproar in Kaihuang City.

Lu Yang had suffered from similar slip-ups before.

Once, he got caught in a reincarnation loop, having the same conversation with Tao Yaoye fifteen extra times, and later, Lu Yang felt the conversation so dull that he handled it carelessly.

As fate would have it, that turned out to be the last reincarnation, which led Tao Yaoye to believe she did something to displease Senior Brother Lu, almost bringing her to tears. Lu Yang had to backtrack and gently explain everything to Tao Yaoye, eventually clearing up the misunderstanding.

"The chaos in Kaihuang City..."

"Beauty, just give in to me..."

"My life won’t last much longer..."

"From now on your sensitivity..."

"Master, everyone is here, you can just perform a Soul Search."

Lu Yang led Meng Jingzhou through the tasks in one breath, finally catching up to the progress he had before the reincarnation. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Why do I feel like you’re rushing through everything?" Meng Jingzhou couldn’t keep up with Lu Yang’s pace, as if Lu Yang already knew what was going to happen.

"Don’t mention it, I’m just exhausted," Lu Yang sighed, praying silently there wouldn’t be a sixth reincarnation.

Arriving at a time he had never experienced, Lu Yang finally relaxed, stopped by a sugar painting stall, and bought two sugar paintings, one in his image and one in Meng Jingzhou’s likeness.

He handed the one of Meng Jingzhou’s likeness to Meng Jingzhou, "Here, it’s on me."

Meng Jingzhou took the sugar painting with mixed feelings, looking it over from left to right, hesitating to take a bite.

There wasn’t anything wrong with the sugar painting; the only issue was that it was too lifelike.

Lu Yang also hesitated to take a bite, but he felt it was a shame not to buy a sugar painting resembling himself when he finally stumbled upon one.

In the Spiritual Space, whether it was because they had finally reached unknown time or because she saw Lu Yang buying a sugar painting of himself, Immortal Fairy suddenly sat up from the Lotus Platform, showing interest.

"Little Yang, come on, let this Immortal use your body."

Without allowing Lu Yang to resist, he was directly possessed by the ancient major demon.

Using Lu Yang’s body, the ancient major demon licked the sugar painting and uttered a melodious, rising and falling hum.

"So sweet."

Then she returned the body to Lu Yang.

Seeing this, Lu Yang, skeptical, also licked the sugar painting, finding it tasted just like any regular sugar painting. So why did the Fairy comment, "So sweet"?

Having licked it once, he no longer felt any psychological burden, and Lu Yang continued to eat the sugar painting.

Seeing Lu Yang eating unreservedly, Meng Jingzhou had no reason to shrink back, and he too started to eat.

The two walked through the bustling streets, munching on sugar paintings, while the chatter of passersby flowed into their ears.

"Lv Cheng, let’s get a divorce. You’re already forty and still haven’t achieved anything. If I had known this before, I would never have married you."

"Son, you’re already six years old, stop spending my money, it’s time to become independent, let’s sever our father-son relationship."

"You old thing, ever since falling ill, you have cost me so much silver, from today on, I don’t care whether you live or die, get out of this house."

Lu Yang halted in his tracks, he had been hearing many such conversations in succession, divorces, fathers abandoning their children, daughters throwing away their mothers, occurring with a frightening frequency.

"Wait a minute, something doesn’t feel right."

Lu Yang and his companion realized that they didn’t know when the laughter-filled streets had suddenly lost all laughter, leaving only chaotic footsteps and indifferent conversations.

They had been joking and laughing together, only to notice the abnormalities in their surroundings!

On the entire street, only their laughter could be heard, it was they who were out of place!

"What’s going on!"

"It’s the Oblivion Pill!"

Lu Yang suddenly realized, this was clearly the effect of the Oblivion Pill, once people lost their emotions, they would be driven by self-interest, for fathers, young sons were a burden, for children, elderly mothers were a burden, all could be discarded!

Everyone on this street had taken the Oblivion Pill!

No, that’s not right, it wasn’t just this street.

Under the scan of Spiritual Sense, privacy is hard to come by, but now Lu Yang couldn’t care about privacy anymore, his Spiritual Sense spread out, covering dozens of streets and houses, no matter whether they were ordinary people or cultivators, all had expressionless faces, walking like the living dead!

"Looking at this, I’m afraid the whole Kaihuang City has fallen into this state!" Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that something terrible was happening.

"Could it be the work of the Ruthless Sect? How did they manage to affect everyone!" Meng Jingzhou’s expression was serious, they were under everyone’s eyes, yet neither of them had noticed this before.

As if remembering something, Lu Yang looked down at the ground. The ground was wet with standing water, some seeping into the crevices of the bluestone streets, the surface and soil both damp, the clues forming a line.

"It’s the canal water!"

"Do you remember how Master Duanchen described the Oblivion Pill to us after he performed a Soul Search on the Three-eyed Ghost Monk?"

Reminded by Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou also realized, "The Oblivion Pill, it dissolves upon contact with water! It’s a problem with the water!"

"Right, someone must have dumped a large quantity of Oblivion Pills into the canal water, today is the Buddha Bathing Festival, the day of the Worldly Venerable’s birth, and to celebrate his birth, water is splashed in celebration!"

"The canal water is sprinkled all over Kaihuang City, the moisture evaporating, carrying the components of the Oblivion Pill with it into the air, people inhale it without even realizing!"

"Perhaps demon beasts are even more sensitive to the components of the Oblivion Pill. Remember the Insect Cultivator we came across when we were accumulating virtue by doing good? The Insect King possessed his host, almost causing a massive insect calamity, it might all be because the Insect King was influenced by the Oblivion Pill, losing its emotional bonds!"

"Our cultivation levels are too high, even if we took an Oblivion Pill, it would only last a few breaths, and the Oblivion Pill in the air must be diluted countless times, its effect greatly reduced, so we naturally become immune to it."

"But other cultivators can’t do that!"

"Let’s find Master Duanchen, he is also at the Divinity Transformation Stage, although not as strong as us two, he should not be affected!"

The two made a quick decision, disregarding the rule against flying within the city, they took to the air and flew towards Kaihuang Temple.

They landed at the entrance of Kaihuang Temple, where the temple was still bustling with visitors, and the number of pilgrims coming to burn incense and pray to the Buddha had even increased due to the effects of the Oblivion Pill.

The pilgrims had expressionless faces, walking into Kaihuang Temple like marionettes, dropping copper coins, silver, and Spirit Stones into the donation box with extremely standardized movements.

If there had been any who had been carelessly going with the flow before, now in the state of oblivion, even the emotion to do things half-heartedly was gone.

The two pushed open the Abbot’s Room, and in a rush, they called out, "Master, it’s terrible, the whole city has been poisoned by the Forgetfulness Poison!"
