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?”Rêạd new chapters on no/v/e/lbin(.)com

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.”

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?”
