Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

The owner of the pharmacy continued slowly, “This place was arranged by several Unity Stage cultivators, who established the rules. The formation has both life and death gates, and as heaven leaves a sliver of hope, the rules set here must have a way out.”

“But the Unity Stage cultivators didn’t really want anyone to leave, so they set up this seemingly nonsensical rule.”

“It serves their interests, while also adhering to the principle of leaving a sliver of hope.”

Lu Yang, suppressing the urge to curse, continued writing: Then how do we kill the town chief?

The pharmacy owner said, “It’s impossible to kill him; the town chief is immortal. How do you plan to kill him?”

Meng Jingzhou clenched his fists, cursing the group of Unity Stage cultivators who set up the rules in his heart.

It would have been better not to set up the twenty-first rule at all; what’s the difference between having it and not having it?!

Lu Yang’s expression was also not good, but he remained calm, knowing that swearing wouldn’t solve the problem, and continued writing: Where is the town chief?

The pharmacy owner chuckled, “Do you really think about killing the town chief? Unfortunately, I do not know his whereabouts, but you can ask the enforcers, as they are closest to the town chief. As for whether they’ll tell you, that’s not my concern.”

Before leaving, the pharmacy owner called out, “Seeing that you truly wish to leave this place, let me remind you that the town chief knows everything that happens in the town. It’s his ability, so be careful.”

Meng Jingzhou wanted to politely thank him, but remembering he couldn’t speak to the pharmacy owner, he could only nod to acknowledge.

Lu Yang was indifferent from beginning to end.

“Do you think what the pharmacy owner said is all true?” Meng Jingzhou quietly asked.

Lu Yang didn’t answer, and only after they had walked a distance from the pharmacy, he sneered, “Given the rules, what he said is naturally true, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s on our side.”

“Do you know the biggest difference between him and the innkeeper?”

“What?”

“The pharmacy owner tried every means to make us speak.”

Meng Jingzhou was shocked, realizing that when they communicated with the innkeeper, both parties used text, but when communicating with the pharmacy owner, it was always them writing and the pharmacy owner speaking.

One party speaks, and the other party, without being careful, might respond with their voice.

“Cunning old fox.” Meng Jingzhou muttered under his breath, then felt something was wrong, “If he wanted to harm us, why would he still remind us that the town chief knows everything happening in the town?”

Lu Yang didn’t even think before saying, “Seeing that we are trying every possible means to leave, and he can’t stop us, he then tells us important information, letting us know that the town chief is unbeatable.”

“This could lead to two outcomes, either giving up on leaving or creating chaos within our ranks, leading to our own defeat.”

Meng Jingzhou clicked his tongue, feeling troubled, “The biggest problem now is that the town chief knows what we are up to. Even if we figure out a way to leave, the town chief can stop us!” freēwēbnovel.com

How do we manage to sneak away under the town chief’s watchful eye?

Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He took out paper and pen, writing: We use text for communication, maybe it could reduce the town chief’s attention on us.

Meng Jingzhou nodded.

Lu Yang continued writing: Do you remember the jade pendants our sect gave us? Each pendant is a symbol of identity. Once a pendant is shattered, the sect will send someone to check on us. The pendants are too hard for us to crush, but we can throw them at the exit, where the wind will shatter them.

Meng Jingzhou’s eyes lit up, realizing it was indeed a good plan.

Meng Jingzhou also wrote: Then how do we deal with the town chief?

Lu Yang wrote: To understand the town chief’s behavior, we need to start with the enforcers.

The two scribbled on paper, formulating a detailed plan, then burned the written paper completely, acting as if nothing had happened.

As Lu Yang walked, he approached the private school nearby. As always, there were sounds of reading, but according to Everlasting Fairy, these were actually barking sounds, which, under the influence of the rules, turned into reading sounds. fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

If someone couldn’t suppress their curiosity and wanted to enter the private school, the reading sounds would turn into barking, and something bad would happen.

The private school teacher approached Lu Yang, continuing to persuade him to enter the private school. Lu Yang looked down, pretending not to hear.

The private school teacher was eloquent, saying endlessly, “My friend, we meet again. You’ve come alone, which means you’ve had a falling out with your companion. This shows you still believe what I said. Don’t believe what the rules say, nine truths and one lie, you can’t tell them apart…”

Just as the private school teacher wanted to surprise attack Lu Yang, suddenly, as Lu Yang, who was bending over and bowing his head, looked up, everything went dark, and he didn’t know what happened.

The private school teacher’s attention was all on Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou sneaked up behind him and bagged him with a sack.

Both were eager to avenge their last scare by the private school teacher, not afraid of his gaze now, they had to get revenge!

The demonic sect often harbored vindictive individuals, and this trait was evident in both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“Hit him!”

The two punched and kicked the private school teacher mercilessly.

The private school teacher had never encountered such a situation before, howling continuously, “Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!”

[Rule 9: The one wearing a gray robe is the private school teacher. If you encounter the private school teacher, no matter what he says, you need to pretend you didn’t hear.]

Both were the kind-hearted type who would stop when the other party begged for mercy, but due to the rules, they had to pretend not to hear whatever the private school teacher said.

They had no choice but to continue hitting him.

Finally, the two sighed in relief, feeling satisfied after beating him up. Before leaving, Meng Jingzhou spat, “Pah, scum, don’t let me see you again.”

The two returned to the inn, arm in arm. The private school teacher broke free from the sack and watched their retreating figures with a fierce gaze.

“Don’t let me see you again!”

On the fourth day, at the time of si, the two went down to the restaurant on the ground floor, the only place in town with meat buns.

【Rule 11: All food in the town is provided for free; you may take it yourself, but do not eat the meat buns】

Considering that meat buns were free, even if they couldn’t eat them, they decided to take them all, using the same sack they had used for the private school teacher the day before.

When the enforcers in black clothes came to the restaurant as usual, they found not a single meat bun left.

“Who did this!” the enforcers raged.

According to the【Commoner Town Enforcers’ Rule】, they could only eat meat buns every day, so what were they supposed to eat now?!

“Boss, look at those two, are they carrying our meat buns?” An enforcer with a keen sense of smell caught the scent.

Seeing the enforcers looking at them, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou knew they had been found out and hurriedly ran away.

What was initially suspicion now became certainty: “It’s definitely them, chase!”

The townspeople of Commoner Town found that the usually quiet town was unusually noisy today.

“You two bastards, stop right there!”

As Lu Yang ran, he responded, “Can’t do that, rule number twelve says【Be wary of officials; individuals in black clothes are officials. If encountered, run away immediately, and do not turn your head, regardless of what they call out】, I’m just following the rules, don’t make it hard for us.”

The yamen leader was furious, “The damn rules didn’t say to take away the meat buns!”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s legs moved incredibly fast, and the enforcers couldn’t catch up with them.
