Before entering the Seeking Dao Sect, his knowledge came from storytelling old men. After entering the Seeking Dao Sect for a year, his reserve of knowledge regarding cultivation grew at an astonishing speed, but none of the books he read mentioned how to get off a flying boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who writes about such things in books?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of common sense for living in the immortal cultivation world, he was still inferior to someone like Tao Yaoye, who grew up in a family of cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the flying boat, he only knew that it was an industry belonging to the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce, and the way to get off was to jump, but the specific method was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year, the flying boat could bring in huge amounts of wealth, but for the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce, this was just an insignificant small industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Landing Money Chamber of Commerce was the largest chamber of commerce in the Central Continent, with mysterious forces behind it and countless rare treasures. As long as you had enough spirit stones, you could even buy legendary immortal treasures that no one had ever seen, such as the relics of the Buddha Kingdom, the holy bones of the Demon Domain, and the Dao fruits of immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone dared to owe a debt to the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce, or harbored a fluke, or stole things from the chamber of commerce, then the several immortal experts who had disappeared without a trace were a warning to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend has it that there was an immortal expert known as the Thief King, who was proficient in the way of space. Taking others' storage spaces was as easy as reaching into a bag. Distance was just a meaningless string of numbers to him; he could cross thousands of mountains and rivers in one step, from the far west of the Central Continent to the far north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the belongings of Tribulation Crossing experts had been stolen by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an unspoken rule in the thief sect: one must not steal things from the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the Thief King followed the ancestral teachings of thieves and did not have any interaction with the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce. As his fame grew, countless famous experts joined forces to hunt him down, but they couldn't even find a corner of his clothes. He gradually felt that these immortal experts were nothing more than that, and that he had surpassed the ancestor of thieves, so why should he still follow those rigid ancestral teachings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrogantly announced that he would steal the treasures of the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the world thought that either the Thief King's spatial path was mysterious and he would steal the treasure silently, or a great battle would break out inside the chamber of commerce, with the Thief King fighting against the experts behind the chamber of commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected that nothing happened that night, and from then on, the Thief King never appeared again, disappearing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang's embarrassment only lasted for a short while. When it was time to jump off the boat, the strangers didn't have time to keep looking at Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone opened their paper umbrellas, leaped down, and got off the boat one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye also moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the sky, several strangers opened their umbrellas, looking as small as sesame seeds from afar. Lu Yang was different; he pulled the rope on his back, and the parachute opened with a \"bang,\" making him particularly conspicuous in the high sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In normal times, Lu Yang would be very nervous at such a height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Lu Yang didn't have the heart to think about these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, everyone had different destinations, and only Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye were going to Taiping Township.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they arrived at Taiping Township, the two were greeted warmly by the Township Chief, who seemed to have known they were coming all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two immortal elders, you have finally arrived. The way you jumped off the flying boat was truly extraordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't ask why he knew when they would arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Lu Yang, and she is Tao Yaoye. We are both disciples of the Seeking Dao Sect. The description of the demon bird in the mission is not very detailed, so please tell us in detail, Township Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the Township Head had prepared a welcome banquet, intending to drink a few rounds, give some local specialties when they were drunk, and then talk about the demon bird in detail, asking for help—that was how things were done when people came from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect the two to be so swift and decisive, and couldn't help but feel happy, secretly praising them—worthy of being disciples of an immortal sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Yaoye glanced at the Township Head; he was in the late stage of Qi Refining, his foundation hadn't been laid well in his early years, there were many impurities in his spiritual power, and he had no hope of Foundation Establishment. He was an ordinary cultivator with nothing outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of the demon bird, the Township Head looked bitter. Taiping Township didn't have many outsiders to begin with and was relatively isolated. Now that the matter of the demon bird had spread nearby, even merchants were unwilling to come near here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had reported it to Quhe County, but Quhe County was short of manpower, and seeing that the demon bird didn't hurt people, they said to wait a bit longer and send someone to Taiping Township when they had time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"waiting\" had been twenty days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was about twenty days ago. Tailor Feng ran to the street, shouting that a big demon that eats people had come to their house, and it was very powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The neighbors were terrified when they heard this. A demon that eats people is no small matter. There are only about thirty cultivators in Taiping Township, and my cultivation is the highest among them, and I am the Township Head, so Tailor Feng brought the neighbors to find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before eliminating the demon, I had to find out the situation, so I asked Tailor Feng, 'You said the big demon eats people, who did it eat?'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a big difference in danger between a demon that has eaten people and one that hasn't. Humans are the spirits of all things and are naturally enlightened. Once a demon eats one, it will linger on this taste and will eat a second, a third person... causing disaster to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tailor Feng said, 'I don't know who the big demon ate, but the demon can speak, so it must be because it has eaten people that it can speak.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is indeed a rumor among the people that demons can speak human language and turn into human form if they eat people, but these are all hearsay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can demon cultivation be so simple? To speak human language, one must refine the transverse bone in the throat, which requires at least the late stage of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tailor Feng said the demon was colorful. He initially thought it was a bird lost in the mountains. The demon bird sat behind him watching him sew clothes, motionless, and suddenly spoke, scaring Tailor Feng into running out of the shop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing that Tailor Feng couldn't provide any useful information, I told them to wait in the distance, and I approached secretly alone and saw the demon bird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demon bird's feathers were bright and lustrous, with very distinct red around its eyes. It was obviously not an ordinary bird. How could an ordinary bird dare to look so flamboyant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demon bird spoke, asking me, 'Who are you, where is Zhang Guanjia?' The tone was quite urgent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was confused. Zhang Guanjia is a cultivator in our township, at the third level of Qi Refining, with mediocre cultivation. How could he be connected to a demon beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, I tried my best to relax, looking like I had no threat, and asked politely, 'I don't know why the Demon King is looking for Zhang Guanjia?'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demon bird didn't answer and flapped its wings to leave the tailor shop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since then, the demon bird has been flying around Taiping Township, eating grain in the fields, and speaking human language. Although it doesn't eat people, how can mortals not be afraid when they see a demon? Therefore, everyone has been living in fear these days, afraid that the demon bird will become fierce and eat everyone in one bite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you fought with the demon bird? How is its strength?\" Lu Yang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Township Head shook his head: \"The demon bird is in the sky all day, elusive and hard to find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I can't see the demon bird's cultivation, which means it is at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining, the same as me. I was worried that the demon bird had no intention of hurting people, and if I rashly fought it, it would be counterproductive and anger the other party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang nodded, the Township Head's actions were reasonable. ===== CHAPTER 19 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1582,"2026-06-17T23:08:26.054Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5f59d2561832ed3bad495522c857c0435686251198d595e8de10000af5c12f93","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-19","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-17",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-told-him-to-cultivate-cover.jpg"]
