Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 924 - 923 Unlucky Chamber of Commerce
Yun Mengmeng and Sha Meless mutually self-detonated, the explosion was so loud that they didn’t hear Lu Yang’s desperate scream, blown up with delight.

Sha Meless felt that indeed, studying under the Chief Housekeeper was far more efficient than blindly researching on his own, a few words from the Chief Housekeeper had enlightened him, showing him the path ahead.
If only he had the guidance of the Chief Housekeeper earlier, there wouldn’t have been a need to wage a war of attrition against Great Yu’s second Imperial Teacher, he could have blasted him into a bloody mess right from the start.
Yun Mengmeng, by nature a playful character, found the fun in self-detonation very much to her taste, making her study with great enjoyment.
Boom——Boom——Boom——
The two Semi-Immortals gradually mastered the tricks of self-detonation, their continuous explosions made the small world tremble.
This blasting went on for five days.
During those five days, Lu Yang successfully used the Seven Star Sword Set to weaken the Inheriting Shadow Sword’s resistance and imprinted his own mark on it, becoming its master.
Lu Yang casted his Wooden Avatar, letting it wield the Inheriting Shadow Sword while he held the Green Peak Sword, the two of them practiced their swordplay, moving in unison, familiarizing themselves with the feel of the Inheriting Shadow Sword.
Compared to the Third Boss and the Fourth Housekeeper, who were self-detonating fifty miles away, Lu Yang’s sword dancing was particularly graceful.
Compared to the Dark Moon Sword, the Inheriting Shadow Sword was lighter and sharper, and its slight spirituality was very responsive, making it easy to handle.
"What a sword, what a sword," Lu Yang said with a beaming smile, as a Sword Cultivator, he had a great fondness for swords, especially ones like the Inheriting Shadow Sword that had a legendary quality.
Like the Green Peak Sword, the Inheriting Shadow Sword had been sealed layer by layer by the Eldest Senior Sister to prevent Lu Yang from becoming dependent on divine weapons; the current Inheriting Shadow Sword was just right for him.
The Third Boss and Fourth Housekeeper also returned having finished their learning, and dutifully planted trees and moved mountains to restore the small world to its original state.
Yun Mengmeng, who had been mischievous in the Secret Realm, often accidentally knocked over trees, so she had learned the Tree Planting Spell.
Sha Meless, possessing the memories of all members of the Eternity Sect, also knew the Tree Planting Spell.
The two of them were very easy to take care of, with no need for Fairy Eternity to teach them.
Cleaning up the small world took another half day. If they had simply tidied up, with their Cultivation Level, they could have finished quickly, but under the pressure of the Second-in-command’s gaze, they had to carefully clean up one more time.
Seeing the small world restored to its former state, Lu Yang was satisfied to let the two go.
"Let’s stop here for now, you’re still at the beginner stage and can’t self-detonate at will.
There’s still a short interval between each self-detonation, and if you face an opponent with rich combat experience, you’ll still be caught in a flaw," said Fairy Eternity, emphasizing that practice should be balanced, constant explosions were not the solution, nor would blasting oneself into foolishness do any good.
"Yes."
After leaving the Green Peak Sword small world, Sha Meless stayed at the barbecue shop, while Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng left the barbecue shop.
It was now evening, the busiest time for the market streets, and Yun Mengmeng, smelling the delicious food scents wafting from the stalls, had her eyes light up.
Since Yun Mengmeng had no Contribution Points, Lu Yang had no choice but to accompany her as he did in Shu State, walking the streets and buying snacks.
Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng walking on the street attracted a lot of attention—mainly because no one had ever seen Yun Mengmeng before, and her sudden appearance easily caught people’s eyes.
"Old Lu, what are you doing here…" Meng Jingzhou came face-to-face with them, just as he was about to greet Lu Yang, he noticed a breathtakingly beautiful woman laughing and talking with him, exuding a sense of happiness.
Wait, why am I toiling in cultivation every day under the great ancestor’s tutelage, while you get to hang around with beautiful women all day?
"Hey, Old Meng, you’re back, have you reached Spirit Transformation too?" Lu Yang also saw Meng Jingzhou and casually greeted him.
Meng Jingzhou grinned proudly and said, "Spirit Transformation was a breeze. And who is this?"
"Yun Mengmeng, Eldest Senior Sister’s good friend."
Meng Jingzhou was stunned for a moment—Yun Mengmeng? So Eldest Senior Sister, you’ve been using your good friend’s name as an alias?
"Senior Brother, who is this?"
"Meng Jingzhou, my junior brother."
Meng Jingzhou froze again. What was Yun Mengmeng shouting? Calling him Senior Brother? What was their relationship?
Or could it be that this Yun Mengmeng wasn’t even twenty years old?
Meng Jingzhou felt as though he had only been away for just over a year, yet everything seemed so strangely unfamiliar.
The three of them went to the food stall union and found a place to sit. They ordered a few signature dishes, with Meng Jingzhou treating them.
"I heard that the Sword Tower collapsed. That’s got something to do with you, right?" Meng Jingzhou asked as he settled down.
"Don’t talk nonsense. I went to the Sword Tower to attend the Sword Inquiry Ceremony. The collapse was caused by a conflict between immortals. What does it have to do with me?" Lu Yang felt he had a clear conscience.
Meng Jingzhou scoffed in disbelief at Lu Yang’s tall tale; the outside world was buzzing with rumors of a battle between two immortals at the Sword Tower, and Lu Yang being the victor of the Sword Inquiry. Although the two events seemed unrelated, Meng Jingzhou could see at a glance that they were definitely connected to Lu Yang.
Meng Jingzhou’s laughter was tinged with schadenfreude: "You have no idea how badly the Land Money Trade Association suffered this time."
"The Trade Association?" Lu Yang was puzzled. What did this have to do with the Trade Association?
"You don’t know, do you? The Manager of the Tower had bought insurance for the Sword Tower from the Trade Association, a comprehensive policy at that."
"After the collapse of the Sword Tower, the association had to pay up honestly. The compensation was a devastating blow. I heard the head of the Shu State branch of the association has lost sleep and become thinner from worry."
"According to the rules, since the collapse of the Sword Tower was caused by human factors, the association will seek compensation from the person responsible after paying out. I’d like to see if they dare to come looking."
The Trade Association would have to be out of its mind to go after Ashy Bean.
"By the way, in the Sword Tower conflict—was it this Yun Mengmeng...Senior Sister involved?" Meng Jingzhou was somewhat unsure of how to address Yun Mengmeng.
"It was her."
Meng Jingzhou suddenly understood: "So she’s the one who claimed to be Yun Zhi and got into a fight with Liu Ningxuan?"
"No wonder the word outside is now that Eldest Senior Sister is a Great Power at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, and some even speculate she’s a Semi-Immortal."
The battle at the Sword Tower revealed a lot of information. By the time it had been through several iterations and reached Meng Jingzhou, the story had been distorted. It’s true that asking the person directly involved was the only way to understand what happened at the Sword Tower.
When Lu Yang asked how Meng Jingzhou had been trained by Meng Junzi, Meng Jingzhou’s eyes showed a look of terror, clearly not wishing to recall that miserable past.
After chatting with Meng Jingzhou for a while, Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng returned to Sky Gate Mountain.
"You’re back?" Yun Zhi was sitting on the Emperor’s Chair, as if she had been waiting for the two.
"Eldest Senior Sister... were you waiting for us?" Lu Yang asked hesitantly.
Yun Zhi didn’t reply, but instead brought up another matter: "Guan Shanhai has explained how Wu Yao sealed the sun, and he also told me how to break the seal."
"I’m planning to unseal one of the seals. Do you want to come and see?"
After more than a year of torture, Guan Shanhai could no longer endure the pressure and divulged some important information.
He felt that if he didn’t share some crucial information, Yun Zhi was going to initiate a soul search.
Lu Yang’s eyes lit up at the news. This was a spectacle that hadn’t been witnessed in hundreds of thousands of years; of course, he wanted to see it.
"We’re going!"
"I’ll follow Senior Brother’s lead," Yun Mengmeng added.
