Chapter 242: Lu Yang, I Want to Go Out and Play

The Arhat Fist is one of the supreme fist techniques of the Golden Buddhist Kingdom. If cultivated to the extreme, it can grant the practitioner the Arhat’s ariya-phala. However, this exists only in theory, as Lu Yang had never heard of anyone successfully cultivating this technique.

The Monk Fruit Fist, created by an immortal, seems very close to the Arhat’s ariya-phala in name, differing by just one word. Its effects include clearing heat, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the throat and voice.

Based on the origins of the techniques, the Monk Fruit Fist seems superior.

But the problem is that this technique was created by Everlasting Fairy.

“No need to practice it. Just from the name, I can guess what this fist technique is for.”

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s with that look? The Monk Fruit Fist is a proper immortal-level technique created by me. The so-called Arhat Fist can’t even compare to it!” Everlasting Fairy jumped up, feeling that Lu Yang was underestimating her.

“It’s not that I’m underestimating you. It’s just that the name of your fist technique is a bit...lacking. It doesn’t sound powerful at all.”

“What do you know? Do you think learning fist techniques is just for fighting and showing off? No, the most important aspect of fist techniques is health maintenance.”

Everlasting Fairy educated Lu Yang, correcting his mistaken beliefs: “Isn’t the purpose of cultivation to live better? And what’s most important for living? It’s the body.”

“That’s why I specially created these health-maintaining fist techniques, including the Monk Fruit Fist for clearing heat and moistening the lungs, the Fennel Fist for dispelling cold and relieving pain, regulating qi and the stomach, and so on. There are thousands of them.”

“If you maintain your body well, why worry about not becoming an Arhat?”

“If you can master all these thousands of fist techniques and integrate them, you’ll be able to learn my supreme fist technique – the Immortal Fairy Fist!”

The Immortal Fairy Fist was the technique Everlasting Fairy used to beat up Everlasting Celestial back in the day. Its power was astonishing, leaving Everlasting Celestial fleeing in panic and disgrace.

“So, what do you think? Want to learn it?” Everlasting Fairy felt it was time to show Lu Yang her skills, lest he think she was just a fraud.

As one of the five ancient immortals, how could she be considered a fraud? “I have absolutely no interest in learning it,” Lu Yang directly refused.

In reality, the old turtle had crawled back up from the lake, still dizzy.

A single punch had such power. If they fought for real, even among Golden Core stage beings, few could match them.

The other person hadn’t even shown his strength yet, but it was clear he was on par with this junior surnamed Meng.

Which force nurtured these geniuses?

Thinking this, the old turtle decided not to hinder them anymore and agreed to help them find opponents.

Seeing Everlasting Fairy’s hesitant yet expectant expression, Lu Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why are you laughing!”

“Nothing, nothing.” Lu Yang tried to maintain a serious expression.

“I can give you a bodhi tree avatar, but you have to behave in the forest, don’t cause trouble, and make sure to return before Meng Jingzhou and I head back to town.”

“Absolutely no problem!” Everlasting Fairy promised confidently. “I can always find you with my wide range divine sense.”

“Alright then.”

In reality, Lu Yang stopped in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Meng Jingzhou and the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were puzzled, thinking Lu Yang had sensed some danger.

“Nothing, I just want to send an avatar to explore other parts of the forest.”

“Avatar?” The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain looked at each other in confusion, while Meng Jingzhou understood immediately. Lu Yang held the bodhi tree seed, performed an earth escape technique, and sank into the ground. Then he used the “Tree Planting Art,” causing the bodhi tree to sprout and grow two Lu Yangs.

The two Lu Yangs simultaneously broke free from the bodhi tree’s restraint. The real one stayed put while Everlasting Fairy occupied the avatar. Once on the ground, the avatar ran off swiftly, just like the legendary stories of ginseng fruit disappearing as soon as it touched the ground.

The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were stunned, their eyes wide open and mouths agape.

“An... an avatar?!”

They had never heard of anyone, not even in the Golden Core stage, using such a technique.

“It’s just a minor technique, nothing worth mentioning.” Lu Yang pretended to be humble, eliciting admiration from the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain.

“Master Lu, can you control this avatar?”

“No need to control it, the avatar can act on its own.”

“Then your avatar should be careful. I’ve heard some cultivators like to ambush solitary cultivators, and several have gone missing because of it.”
