Chapter 935: The Thoughtful Master Zhuiyue

Lu Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a place like Laurel Fairy Palace, which was full of female cultivators, had a special refining room. Normally, few female cultivators were willing to refine weapons.

After all, female cultivators are pursuing elegance and beauty while pursuing cultivation. For example, Lu Yang has never seen a female cultivator who swings a sledgehammer like Man Gu, nor has he seen a female cultivator whose body is torn into pieces like Li Haoran.

"Brother Lu Yang, do you think that we female cultivators are weird?" Lan Ting noticed Lu Yang's strange look and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

"No, no." Lu Yang smiled awkwardly.

"It's not surprising to think so. There are indeed very few female cultivators in the outside world who are weapon refiners. Our Immortal Palace is somewhat special."

"What's so special about it?"

“We have laurel trees.”

Seeing that Lu Yang was still confused, Lan Ting took Lu Yang to a small grove full of laurel trees. If they were sold outside, they could fetch a sky-high price.

Before entering the laurel grove, Lu Yang heard a dull thumping sound, as if two heavy objects were colliding.

Then he saw many disciples of the Fairy Palace taking turns chopping laurel trees with axes. They were all panting and sweating profusely from exhaustion. It was hard to imagine that they all looked like fairies who did not eat grains when they were outside.

Lu Yang discovered that when the disciples of the Immortal Palace chopped down the laurel tree, a gap would appear on the tree, and then the gap would quickly be filled, as if the gap had never appeared. The disciples of the Immortal Palace needed to continue chopping down the tree, over and over again, without stopping.

"This is?"

"This is a tradition passed down by our ancestor, Master Zhuiyue. Legend has it that the ancient immortal Yingtian often used an axe to chop down laurel trees. The reason is unknown. Master Zhuiyue believed that every move of the ancient immortals had a deep meaning, and this must be some kind of practice, so he advocated using an axe to chop down laurel trees for practice."

"This laurel tree is indeed very durable. If one axe cannot cut it through, the gap will heal itself."

Lan Ting smiled sheepishly and said, "We all swung axes to chop laurel trees, so swinging hammers to refine weapons is not considered vulgar behavior in our eyes."

"As for the hammer, it takes a lot of strength to forge weapons. We learned it when we were chopping down laurel trees."

Lu Yang was about to nod when he suddenly remembered that since chopping down laurel trees was a tradition of Laurel Fairy Palace, didn’t that mean Lanting had also chopped down trees?

If Lanting also cuts trees, is it reasonable to fight with a light skirt all day? "Sister Lanting, Brother Luyang!"

When the Immortal Palace disciples who were busy chopping trees saw Lan Ting and Lu Yang walking together, their eyes lit up and they put down their axes and walked towards Lu Yang.

But when they were about to get close to Lu Yang, they didn't dare to move forward.

They had been chopping laurel trees for a long time, and their bodies were covered with sweat. If they stayed like this and approached Lu Yang, wouldn't it be impolite? When they realized that they could use the purification spell, Lan Ting had already pulled Lu Yang away. The two walked deep into the laurel forest and stopped in front of a towering laurel tree.

Lu Yang looked up and could not see the end of the laurel tree. He just felt that he was standing at the foot of the laurel tree, as small as dust.

"This is the laurel tree ancestor. It existed before our Fairy Palace was established. All the laurel trees on this snowy mountain are descendants of the tree ancestor."

"According to the research of our ancestors, the ancestor tree is most likely a laurel tree from ancient times, which is extremely ancient."

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

In the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy was seriously making snowmen. Two snowmen stood side by side, with carrots stuck in their noses and branches as their hands. Names were written on the snowmen. The one on the left was Huang Doudou and the one on the right was Lu Yang.

Only when she heard Lu Yang calling her did she come to her senses and look outward.

"What a tall laurel tree!" Even the Immortal Fairy saw such a huge laurel tree for the first time.

"I have seen a 200,000-year-old laurel tree on the moon, but it was not as tall as this one. This one must be more than 200,000 years old. As for how long it has lived, we can either cut down the tree and count its growth rings, or ask the Fairy of Time to come and ask the laurel tree."

Obviously, neither approach is feasible.

"But it is possible that it is a laurel tree from ancient times."

"What do you mean?"

"I needed Ying Tianxian to chop wood when I was cooking. I told Ying Tianxian that we should be responsible for our actions. If we chop down a laurel tree, don't forget to plant another one."

"Perhaps this is one of the many laurel trees planted by Ying Tianxian."

"It is probably because of Ying Tianxian's blessing that I am lucky enough to be alive today."

Lu Yang was greatly shocked by the Immortal Fairy's advanced concept of environmental protection.

As far as Lu Yang knows, no tree has lived for 200,000 years. Even if the laurel tree in front of him was not planted in ancient times, it should be the oldest tree and deserves the title of tree ancestor.

Walking out of the laurel forest and to the other end of the forest, there was a large courtyard. Lu Yang saw many disciples of the Immortal Palace practicing diligently in the courtyard: repeatedly thrusting hot iron sand with their hands, smashing boulders of unknown material with one elbow, and running with hills on their backs...

Lu Yang felt that this scene was particularly familiar. This was how Lao Meng practiced when he was training his body.

“What are you doing?”

"Body training." Lan Ting said seriously.

"ah?"

Lu Yang felt that the practice method of the Laurel Fairy Palace was indeed completely different from that of the female practitioners in the outside world. Even the disciples of the super sect Mei Sect would not swing axes and practice body training at the same time.

“This also has historical roots.”

"That was a thousand years after the establishment of the Immortal Palace. Daxia had recovered from the war, the country was at peace, the people lived and worked in peace, and Master Zhuiyue went down the mountain to travel."

"Then she accidentally found a few not-so-serious books at a bookstall. Although the stories were different, they had one thing in common: in each book, a fairy went down the mountain to practice, but was accidentally poisoned by spring poison. The hero had to detoxify her, and the fairy became one of the heroines of the story, starting a love-hate relationship with the hero."

"At first the hero is still a nobody, but as the story progresses, he becomes stronger step by step and becomes worthy of the fairy."

"Master Zhuiyue feels that even though it is a story, the content is not without reason and it is something that could possibly happen."

"After she came back, she added another training content, which is body training. All disciples must do body training."

"After refining the body, the physical fitness will be enhanced, which can greatly weaken the reaction of the spring poison, increase the time to find the antidote, and not give up the body casually."

"The facts have proved that Master Zhuiyue's decision was correct. In the past 100,000 years, many seniors who came down the mountain were poisoned by spring. If they hadn't practiced body training, they would have slept with wild men whose origins were unknown."

"At the same time, Master Zhuiyue also took into consideration that stories often have a male and female protagonist falling in love, but the female protagonist's sect disagrees and creates difficulties. In the end, the male protagonist becomes successful and goes to the female protagonist's sect to embarrass them. Therefore, he stipulates that if a disciple of the sect falls in love with a man, the sect must not stop them."

Lu Yang: “…”

Your ancestors have really thought things through.
