The most valuable thing on him was probably his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pay?\" The senior brother glanced at the book in his hand, then looked at Lu Yang, his eyelids twitching fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the regulations, compensation for spiritual stones was indeed required, but the problem was that if this book got out, the dragon and phoenix clans would join forces to kill from the Demon Domain to the Central Continent and kill the Profound Heaven Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Profound Heaven Sect was not afraid of the dragon and phoenix clans—dragon liver and phoenix marrow were delicious, and taking them could nourish yin and replenish yang... but they were a righteous sect after all. Having a forbidden book like \"Dragon and Phoenix Transformation\" in the Scripture Pavilion would eventually ruin their reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, the senior brother silently hid the book in his sleeve, his face indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pay? What book did you get dirty? I didn't see it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroying books in the Scripture Pavilion was too conspicuous and would trigger the formation. It was better to take it outside to destroy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang instantly understood the point—the senior brother wanted to hide it privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So nothing happened just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked at each other, the corners of their mouths raised, as if they really understood each other's meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forbidden book was a small episode. Lu Yang didn't forget his purpose for coming to the Scripture Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He searched for a long time before he found the book introducing the Central Continent—\"Continent Geography.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang rubbed his hands excitedly and read carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are humans, demons, ghosts, etc. in the world. The Central Continent is the gathering place for humans. The largest force in the continent is the Great Xia Dynasty, the only country in the Central Continent, suppressing the human race's luck and representing the orthodoxy of the human race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, although my home is close to the Profound Heaven Sect, it also belongs to the scope of the Great Xia Dynasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the east of the continent is a vast ocean, with sporadic islands dotted in it, and ancient demon beasts like Kunpeng and Chaos appear from time to time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the west of the continent is the golden Buddhist country, with immeasurable pure land and temples as numerous as sand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the south of the continent is the Demon Domain of the demon race. The dragon and phoenix clans are the overlords of the Demon Domain. The demon race is cruel and bloodthirsty. The Great Xia Dynasty and the Demon Domain have constant friction, and there are demon races hidden in the Great Xia Dynasty, which is a harm to the human race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the north of the continent is the extreme north, where the ice never melts, not a blade of grass grows, and human traces are rare. Other creatures rarely show up, and only extremely powerful races live there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Central Continent has the most humans and the most cultivators. Some cultivators choose to enter the imperial court as officials, while more cultivators choose to open sects or join a certain sect. The Central Continent has sects scattered like stars, among which the five great immortal sects like the Profound Heaven Sect are the leaders of the righteous path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The book also says that the five great immortal sects must have a Tribulation Crossing stage expert and means to rival the Tribulation Crossing stage... Could it be that the Sect Master is a Tribulation Crossing stage expert? Or does our Profound Heaven Sect have a Supreme Elder who doesn't come out of seclusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that he was lucky enough to worship under the Sect Master who might be a Tribulation Crossing stage expert, Lu Yang was a little happy and excited. He stood up and poured a glass of water, borrowed the water to suppress his excitement, sat back in his original position, and continued to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demonic cultivators are bloodthirsty and use the lives of living beings to help their own cultivation, which is even more harmful than the demon race. Demonic cultivators are ultimately cultivators who cannot be on the stage. They hide in dark corners, and under the joint suppression of the Great Xia Dynasty and the five great immortal sects, demonic sects only dare to act in secret and dare not show their faces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for demonic cultivators, the book also mentioned something called evil demons, which was quite obscure, saying that evil demons are born heartless, are the shadows of the human race, cannot be judged by common sense, and should be kept away when seen. It was very mysterious, and Lu Yang didn't figure out what evil demons were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mortals use gold, silver, and copper as currency, and cultivators use three grades of spiritual stones—upper, middle, and lower—as currency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Lu Yang began to learn common knowledge about the cultivation world, such as the standards for dividing various realms, what the hundred arts of cultivation include, the types of demon beasts, the levels of techniques, the history of the Central Continent, etc...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knowledge Lu Yang heard from the storyteller in the teahouse was far from enough for him to gain a foothold in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang looked at the mysterious knowledge line by line and couldn't help but immerse himself in it. He swam in the ocean of knowledge until evening, felt hungry in his stomach, and remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the senior brother at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion had been replaced by a senior sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang asked respectfully: \"Senior sister, sorry to bother you. I am a disciple who just came yesterday and am not familiar with the Profound Heaven Sect. Is there a place to eat in our Profound Heaven Sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This senior sister was startled by Lu Yang and shivered, her eyes dodging. She was very afraid of talking to people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, everyone could follow the rules of the Scripture Pavilion and didn't need to be reminded. Her personality was very suitable for this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't dare to look at Lu Yang, lowered her head, and said softly: \"So it's the new junior brother. The Profound Heaven Sect has a canteen, but as someone who has been there, I don't suggest you go to the canteen to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang didn't understand: \"Why is this? Is there a problem with the canteen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the Fifth Elder's peak, Bailian Mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang was stunned. This mountain name didn't sound like a place for cooking: \"I don't know what this Bailian Peak is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fifth Elder is good at refining tools. This Bailian Peak is naturally the peak for refining tools. The canteen is opened on Bailian Peak. The chefs in the canteen are all first-class tool refiners. Steamed buns can pierce mountains, rice grains can be used as hidden weapons, and fried dough sticks can even break steel bones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang didn't know where to start complaining: \"...Why can chefs be tool refiners?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior sister explained weakly: \"Junior brother, think about it. The most important thing for a chef is the heat, and what tool refiners are best at is controlling the heat. The relationship between these two professions is closer than you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang nodded sincerely: \"It is indeed closer than I thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior sister looked at Lu Yang's simple dress and hesitated: \"And buying weapons—oh no, going to the canteen to eat requires spiritual stones. This junior brother, you look... not very rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, the clothing of practitioners is not to say how exquisite, but at least it is woven from some common spiritual objects such as sky silk, which is water and fire resistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang's dress was simple, and he didn't know how many patches were sewn on his clothes. One could see at a glance that he was from a commoner background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang smiled embarrassedly. He really didn't have a single spiritual stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be embarrassed. There are many commoners in the Profound Heaven Sect.\" The senior sister comforted softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a way to eat. Um... you can go to Danding Peak and take a look. There should be discarded Bigu pills there. You can ask them for some.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Danding Peak has very high requirements for pills. They say they are discarded, but in fact, the quality is just not high enough. Don't worry about them being poisonous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, on Danding Peak, you must be careful of the peak master, the Seventh Elder, Senior Brother Wu Ming, Senior Brother Wenda, Senior Sister Qingkong, Junior Brother Longyan... In short, be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang suppressed the confusion in his heart and bowed: \"I am Lu Yang, thank you, senior sister. May I ask your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Zhou Lulu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1477,"2026-06-17T22:30:18.437Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","83c7ce0b9b5995e9949967139ed2456e432af42888e724216f446d4fc1ece1ad","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-10","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-8",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-told-him-to-cultivate-cover.jpg"]
