Chapter 726: The Thoroughly Considerate Ancestor Zhuiyue

Lu Yang was a bit surprised. He didn't expect that a place like the Moon Laurel Xiangong, which was full of female cultivators, would have a specialized weapon refining room. Usually, few female cultivators were willing to refine weapons.

After all, female cultivators were pursuing elegance and beauty while pursuing cultivation. For example, Lu Yang had never seen a female cultivator swinging a giant hammer like Seeing Man Gu, nor had he seen a female cultivator whose body was torn apart like Li Haoran.

"Does Senior Brother Lu Yang think it's strange for us female cultivators to refine weapons?" Seeing Lan Ting noticed Lu Yang's strange look and probably guessed what he was thinking.

"No, no." Lu Yang laughed awkwardly.

"It's not strange to think so. There are indeed very few female cultivators in the outside world who are weapon refiners. It's just that our Xiangong has some special features."

"Special features?"

"We have Moon Laurel trees."

Seeing that Lu Yang still had a confused expression, Seeing Lan Ting took Lu Yang to a small forest. The small forest was full of Moon Laurel trees. If they were sold to the outside world, they could be sold for a sky-high price.

Before entering the Moon Laurel forest, Lu Yang heard a dull thumping sound, as if two heavy objects were colliding.

Then he saw many disciples of the Xiangong swinging axes to chop down Moon Laurel trees, all of them panting and sweating profusely. It was hard to imagine that they were all fairy-like figures who didn't eat the five grains in the outside world.

Lu Yang discovered that when the disciples of the Xiangong chopped at the Moon Laurel tree, the Moon Laurel tree would have a gap, and then the gap would quickly be filled, as if the gap had never appeared. The disciples of the Xiangong needed to continue chopping trees, over and over again, without stopping.

"This is?"

"This is a tradition passed down by the founder, True Person Zhuiyue. Legend has it that the ancient immortal Ying Tian Immortal often used an axe to chop down Moon Laurel trees, for unknown reasons. True Person Zhuiyue believed that every move of the ancient immortals had deep meaning, and this must be some kind of cultivation method, so she advocated using an axe to chop Moon Laurel trees for cultivation."

"This Moon Laurel tree is indeed very durable. If it cannot be chopped down with one axe, the gap will heal."

Seeing Lan Ting laughed embarrassedly: "We have all swung axes to chop Moon Laurel trees, so this weapon refining and hammer swinging is not considered a vulgar behavior in our eyes."

"As for the fact that weapon refining and hammer swinging require a lot of strength, we have all practiced it when chopping Moon Laurel trees."

Lu Yang was just about to nod when he suddenly thought that since chopping Moon Laurel trees was a tradition of the Moon Laurel Xiangong, didn't that mean Seeing Lan Ting had also chopped them?

If Seeing Lan Ting also chopped trees, was it reasonable to fight with light silk ribbons all day long?

"Senior Sister Seeing Lan Ting, Senior Brother Lu Yang!"

The disciples of the Xiangong who were chopping trees hard saw Seeing Lan Ting and Lu Yang walking together, their eyes lit up, and they all put down their axes and walked towards Lu Yang.

But when they were about to approach Lu Yang, they didn't dare to come forward.

They had been chopping Moon Laurel trees for a long time, and they were covered in sweat. If they approached Lu Yang in this state, wouldn't they lose etiquette?

When they realized they could use the Cleansing Spell, Seeing Lan Ting had already pulled Lu Yang away. The two walked into the depths of the Moon Laurel forest until they stopped in front of a Moon Laurel tree that towered into the clouds.

Lu Yang looked up and couldn't see the end of this Moon Laurel tree at a glance. He only felt that he was standing at the foot of the Moon Laurel tree, as small as dust.

"This is the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor, which existed before our Xiangong was established. All the Moon Laurel trees on this Great Snow Mountain are descendants of the Tree Ancestor."

"According to the research of the ancestor seniors, the Tree Ancestor is very likely to be a Moon Laurel tree from the ancient period, and its age is extremely long."

"Fairy, can you tell the age of this tree?"

In the mental space, the Immortal Fairy was seriously building a snowman. Two snowmen stood side by side, with radishes inserted in their noses, tree branches instead of hands, and names written on the snowmen. The one on the left was named Huang Doudou, and the one on the right was named Lu Yang.

Hearing Lu Yang calling her, she split her mind to look at the outside world.

"What a tall Moon Laurel tree!" Even the Immortal Fairy was seeing such a huge Moon Laurel tree for the first time.

"This fairy has seen a 200,000-year-old Moon Laurel tree on the moon, and it wasn't as tall as this one. This one must be over 200,000 years old. As for how long it has lived specifically, either chop down the tree to count the annual rings, or let the Years Immortal come over and ask this Moon Laurel tree."

Obviously, neither method was feasible.

"However, it is indeed possible that it is a Moon Laurel tree from ancient times."

"How so?"

"Back then, didn't this fairy need the Ying Tian Immortal to chop firewood for cooking? This fairy instructed the Ying Tian Immortal, saying that we must be responsible for our actions. If we chop down a Moon Laurel tree, don't forget to plant another one."

"Maybe this one is one of the many Moon Laurel trees planted by the Ying Tian Immortal back then."

"With the blessing of the Ying Tian Immortal, it probably survived until now by luck."

The Immortal Fairy's advanced environmental protection concept shocked Lu Yang.

As far as Lu Yang knew, no tree had lived for 200,000 years. Even if the Moon Laurel tree in front of him wasn't planted in ancient times, it should be the oldest tree, worthy of the name Tree Ancestor.

Walking out of the Moon Laurel forest to the other end of the forest, there was a large courtyard. Lu Yang saw many disciples of the Xiangong cultivating diligently in the courtyard: repeatedly stabbing their hands into hot iron sand, smashing giant rocks of unknown material with an elbow, carrying a small mountain and running...

Lu Yang felt that this scene was very familiar. Old Meng cultivated like this when he was refining his body.

"What is this doing?"

"Body refining." Seeing Lan Ting said seriously.

"Ah?"

Lu Yang felt that the cultivation method of the Moon Laurel Xiangong was indeed completely different from female cultivators in the outside world. Even disciples of the super-grade sect, the Mei Sect, wouldn't swing axes and refine their bodies.

"This also has historical origins."

"That was a thousand years after the Xiangong was established. The Great Xia was recuperating from the war, the country was peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace, and Ancestor Zhuiyue went down the mountain to travel."

"Later, she inadvertently found a few improper books at a book stall. Although the story content was different, one point was the same. In every book, there was a fairy who went down the mountain to cultivate and accidentally got poisoned by spring poison. The male lead had to detoxify, and thus the fairy became one of the female leads of the story, starting a love-hate entanglement with the male lead."

"At first, the male lead was still a small character, but as the story developed, he became stronger step by step, becoming worthy of the fairy."

"Ancestor Zhuiyue felt that although it was a story, the content was not unreasonable and was a possible thing to happen."

"After she came back, she added a cultivation content, which was body refining. All disciples must refine their bodies."

"After body refining, the physique is enhanced, which can greatly weaken the reaction to spring poison and increase the time to find the antidote, so as not to give away the body casually."

"Facts have also proven that Ancestor Zhuiyue's decision was correct. In 100,000 years, many seniors have gone down the mountain and been poisoned by spring poison. If they hadn't practiced body refining, they would have been afraid of sleeping with wild men of unknown origin."

"At the same time, Ancestor Zhuiyue also considered that in the story, the male and female leads often fell in love, but the female lead's sect disagreed, creating difficulties. Finally, the male lead achieved success and went to the female lead's sect to slap their faces, so it was stipulated that if a disciple of this sect fell in love with a man, this sect must not stop it."

Lu Yang: "..."

Your ancestor really considered things thoroughly enough. ===== CHAPTER 727 =====
