Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality - Chapter 276: Invincible Momentum

Traslator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

“Didn’t I tell you that the Golden Core leaves no regrets? How can you go back on your word?”

Everlasting Fairy’s earnest teachings echoed in Lu Yang’s ears, “This is the Invincible Core. In the future, it can help you become an immortal, second only to me. How can you not be satisfied with that?”

Everlasting Fairy stepped out from the spiritual space and manifested in the real world, “I haven’t finished yet. This Golden Core has a third function.”

“What is it?”

“Do you know that the most important thing in cultivation is not talent but an indomitable Dao heart?”

“There are so many people who have smooth sailing in their cultivation journey, but lose their fighting spirit at the slightest setback and thus fall into decadence. I’ve seen this happen far too many times.”

“The invincible momentum I told you about is a kind of Dao heart. The invincible momentum you formed in the dense forest, condensed into the Invincible Core, is a core of the Dao heart. The third function of the Invincible Core, and its main function, is to stabilize the Dao heart!”

“Do you know how important the invincible momentum is? There is a saying from ancient times: ‘When two paths cross, the bravest wins.’ When you and your enemy battle, victory and defeat are often decided in an instant. With invincible momentum, you can win decisively in this battle!”

“Take me as an example. Back in the Golden Core Stage, I faced Ying Tian Immortal and Qilin Immortal, and with full preparation and reliance on invincible momentum, I defeated them both in one fell swoop!”

“…But I remember they were only in the Foundation Building Stage back then, weren’t they?”

“So what if they were in the Foundation Building Stage? Combat is a serious matter, and you must never take it lightly. Even a lion fights a rabbit with all its might; you must understand this principle!”

“There are quite a few examples of Foundation Building Stage beating the Golden Core Stage, such as you and me. We are both living examples. What if Ying Tian Immortal and Qilin Immortal could fight against people at the Golden Core Stage?”

“What the Fairy says makes sense.”

Everlasting Fairy continued, “Even if you lose miserably, the Invincible Core can keep you confident and make you believe you are invincible!”

Lu Yang: “…”

Isn’t that just being overconfident?

“Then, Fairy, did you ever lose when you were in the Golden Core Stage?”

“Are you kidding? Me, lose? When I was in the Golden Core Stage, I defeated Ying Tian Immortal, Qilin Immortal, and Nonuple Immortal. Who could beat me?”

“What about Immemorial Immortal?”

Everlasting Fairy waved dismissively, “Immemorial Immortal is a spirit born from the ancient tree. It’s meaningless to measure him by cultivation level. There’s no point in me fighting him.”

Yun Zhi listened quietly from the side, unsurprised. She already knew that Immemorial Immortal was a spirit born from the ancient tree, as recorded in ancient texts from the Great Qian era.

“By the way, Eldest Senior Sister, I found a Mu Tian Grass that has developed intelligence in the dense forest,” Lu Yang said, pulling out the struggling Mu Tian Grass from his sack.

When Eldest Senior Sister’s indifferent gaze fell on the Mu Tian Grass, the Mu Tian Grass felt a chill, as if it had fallen into a cold ice cellar.

“I’ve known about this for a long time. It’s good that you noticed there was someone behind the Mu Tian Grass.”

Lu Yang was stunned. From Eldest Senior Sister’s words, could it be that they were being watched by Eldest Senior Sister throughout their entire training process in the dense forest?

“Then what about this Mu Tian Grass?”

“Mu Tian Grass’s maturity method is not limited to devouring humans. It chose the most aggressive way, so it must be severely punished. Take this grass to Pellet Cauldron Peak and inform the Seventh Elder of Mu Tian Grass’s actions. The Seventh Elder will know how to deal with it.”

“Come see me after you return from Pellet Cauldron Peak. I have something else to tell you.”

“Understood.”

Lu Yang’s curiosity was piqued. He wanted to know what Eldest Senior Sister meant by “something else,” but since she didn’t elaborate, he didn’t dare to ask. He decided to go to Pellet Cauldron Peak first.

The first thing Lu Yang did on his way to Pellet Cauldron Peak was to hold his breath and complete the self-circulation within his body to avoid being poisoned by the unknown toxins that might appear.

The Golden Core Stage was still insufficient to counter the poisons at Pellet Cauldron Peak.

Fortunately, after advancing to the Golden Core Stage, he could control his organs to some extent, like moving the internal organs and performing self-circulation within the body, achieving true freedom of movement.

“Excuse me, where is the Seventh Elder?” Lu Yang found a familiar senior brother from Pellet Cauldron Peak, who was likely one of those who had queued up to fight him back then.

“Is that Junior Brother Lu? Are you looking for Master? He should be writing in the alchemy room.”

“Writing?”

As the senior brother from Pellet Cauldron Peak led Lu Yang, he explained, “Yes, our Pellet Cauldron Peak’s alchemy style is not mainstream in the alchemy world. The outside world is jealous of our talents. To expand the influence of Pellet Cauldron Peak, Master encourages us to write articles and publish them outside to let the world see the real us.”

Pellet Cauldron Peak was lush with vegetation, with greenery providing shade and spirit grass everywhere. The materials for refining major restorative pills and fasting pills were abundant. If one wasn’t careful, they might step on a valuable herb.

Although these herbs were not as precious as those in the medicine garden, they could still fetch a high price outside.

“Here we are.”

In contrast to the luxurious decorations that high-status alchemists usually preferred to display their special status, the Seventh Elder’s alchemy room looked like a thatched cottage from the outside, embodying simplicity.

However, the environment inside the alchemy room was incomparable to that of a thatched cottage.

Lu Yang could sense the rich medicinal properties emanating from the alchemy room, which could be highly beneficial even to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, slowly improving their physique.

After the senior brother from Pellet Cauldron Peak left, Lu Yang knocked cautiously, worried about disturbing the Seventh Elder’s thoughts.

“Come in.”

“Greetings, Seventh Elder,” Lu Yang saluted respectfully.

The Seventh Elder had white hair, yet not a single wrinkle on his face. He looked youthful and energetic, possibly due to long-term alchemy practice.

“I heard you were writing an article?” Lu Yang wanted to know the latest academic trends in the alchemy world, which might help him in future encounters with alchemists.

“Yes, I’m researching an ancient pill recipe discovered by the chief alchemist of the Great Xia Dynasty. He couldn’t solve the puzzle of the recipe and offered a reward, inviting renowned alchemists to analyze and solve it. If someone could decode it, it would validate the reputation of our Pellet Cauldron Peak.”

“The recipe is from an ancient alchemy master and describes a pill that can make women conceive, but it doesn’t have a name. We decided to call it the Son-Bearing Pill.”

“However, the recipe is too old and incomplete.”

“I have been experimenting with the herbs identifiable from the recipe, combined with my understanding, trying to restore it. Although all attempts have failed, I have eliminated most possibilities.”

“So far, I haven’t heard of anyone successfully restoring the recipe.”

“What puzzles me is that the herbs listed in the recipe are all for beauty and skin care, with no fertility effects. I suspect the missing ingredient is an ancient herb that has now disappeared.”

“Can I take a look?” Lu Yang felt that the effects of this Son-Bearing Pill sounded familiar.

The Seventh Elder handed him a copy of the recipe, which listed many herbs with some parts missing.

The recipe was written by an alchemist named Qing He, who described the Son-Bearing Pill’s effect as follows: “Taken with river water, it can cause pregnancy.”

Lu Yang was silent for a moment, then said, “Is it possible, just possible, that it’s not the Son-Bearing Pill that causes pregnancy, but the river water?”
