Chapter 276: Chapter 275: The Function of Invincible Elixir_1
Lu Yang remained silent for a long while before asking, “Fairy, the functionality isn’t what you said it would be, is it?”
“This involves the second function of the Invincible Elixir. It clearly tells you not to fight if you can’t beat the opponent.”
“Think about it, why do you win sometimes and lose others in a fight? What’s the reason for your failure? Isn’t it simply that you can’t beat the other person!”
“Now, the Invincible Elixir directly tells you that you can’t beat the other person, doesn’t that prevent your defeat?” Fairy Eternity spoke confidently, her logic was clear, and her argument was sensible.
This time, Lu Yang fell silent even longer, mainly because he actually found what Fairy said to make a lot of sense.
Lu Yang used the Invincible Elixir to assess each of his Senior Brothers and Sisters. The answer was commonplace, he couldn’t beat any of them.
“Your Senior Brothers and Sisters are all at least in the late Golden Core stage, they can all fight above their level, and you, a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage, want to beat them? Even if I took control of your body, it would barely suffice.” Fairy Eternity advised Lu Yang not to aim too high and asked him to fight Meng Jingzhou when he forms the golden core.
“When you fought Yingtian Immortal and Qilin Immortal, what weaknesses did the Invincible Elixir point out?”
“You’re talking about that, the Invincible Elixir told me they were both at the Foundation Establishment stage. It allowed me to be free and unrestrained.”
“…”
It wasn’t until he got to the business street that Lu Yang regained some of his confidence.
There were not only retired cultivators at the Unification stage in the business street but also Golden Core stage cultivators doing business there.
These Golden Core stage cultivators were formidable, but they seemed less impressive compared to Lu Yang.
“Rou Jia Mo Vendor, early Golden Core level, weak spiritual sense, can be attacked mentally.”
“Hundred Fragrance Building waiter, can’t beat him, try another one.”
“Six-winged Duck, food material, early Golden Core stage, its weakness is fear of flame. You can use Three Flavored True Fire against it, or roast it and let the chef handle it.”
“Tea shop owner, can’t beat him, try another one.”
“Tailor shop owner, mid-Golden Core stage, no weaknesses, can be forcefully defeated.”
The essence of the Golden Core was the unity of Lu Yang’s spirit, Qi, and his mind. In other words, the Invincible Elixir was a part of Lu Yang’s body and could formulate effective tactics based on Lu Yang’s cognition. It was as if Lu Yang had an extra brain.
“BBQ shop Master Liu, can’t beat him, try another one.”
“BBQ shop Master Gao, can’t beat him, try another one.”
“Huh?” Now, Lu Yang discovered that he had unknowingly arrived at the Eternity Sect’s headquarters.
The barbecue shop was busy as always, with the sect master and Immortal Eternity delivering goods. They were moving freshly slaughtered beef and mutton out of their storage ring.
“Lu Yang!” The sect master saw Lu Yang, his eyes complex, three parts conflicted, three parts regretful, and four parts relieved.
Master Liu and Master Gao responded similarly.
Was it not thanks to Lu Yang that the Eternity Sect had met such a fate?
Who could have imagined that this young man, a mere two months into joining the sect, would bring about the downfall of the Eternity Sect!
“Lu Yang? Come, come in and sit!” Seeing Lu Yang, Immortal Eternity showed quite a lot of enthusiasm, his reaction entirely different from that of the sect master and vice-sect master.
He had no choice but to be enthusiastic. Of course, this young man was the source of the Eternity Clan, naturally higher in status.
Not to mention this young man’s status, he was in Fairy Eternity and Yun Zhi’s good books. Neither identity was something he could afford to offend.
Of course, he had to do his best to please.
“What a pity it’s morning now, the meat hasn’t been marinated, otherwise, I would have barbecued it for you.” Immortal Eternity said regretfully, it could be seen that he genuinely wanted to barbecue for Lu Yang.
The treatment from Immortal Eternity was equivalent to serving him on a silver platter in his past life.
Lu Yang was also a bit uncomfortable. The high-ranking personnel of the Eternity Sect were all here, if it weren’t for the fact that the sect master, Master Liu, and Master Gao had all been turned into ghouls by Eldest Senior Sister and couldn’t bear any hostility towards disciples of the Seek Dao Sect, Lu Yang felt that he wouldn’t leave the BBQ shop alive.
The sect master and the elder of the Seek Dao Sect were contemporaries. They were at the peak of Unification.
“I have other matters to attend to and need to see Eldest Senior Sister, I won’t go in.” Lu Yang declined, hearing that Lu Yang was going to see Eldest Senior Sister, Immortal Eternity quickly let him go, no longer stopping him.
After Lu Yang left, Immortal Eternity squinted, “Lu Yang has formed a golden core. Did anyone figure out what kind of Golden Core he formed?”
The sect master shook his head, “Judging from the quality, it’s a first-grade Golden Core, but I can’t discern precisely which kind it is.”
“It must be a novel kind of Golden Core. This also fits in with the style of the Seek Dao Sect.”
Having stayed with the Seek Dao Sect for this long, the high-ranking personnel of the Eternity Sect were beginning to notice a pattern, such as the fact that the disciples of the Seek Dao Sect never took the conventional path when forming a Golden Core. The Golden Cores they formed were diverse.
“Should we implement the plan targeting Lu Yang?” The Sect Master opened a barrier and quietly asked, as if he was afraid someone might discover.
Immortal Eternity nodded, “Since he’s already formed a golden core, then we proceed according to the plan and catch Lu Yang off guard. Remember, you must execute the plan when Yun Zhi isn’t around!”
“If Yun Zhi shows up, we must abandon all plans and neither of us will end well!”
“This matter must be kept secret. If we can succeed, then we might have a future!”
Immortal Eternity spoke seriously, “Although we don’t necessarily know the type of Lu Yang’s Golden Core, it’s enough to know that he has formed a Golden Core. We can use this as an opportunity to give him a gift and try to please him as much as possible!”
“Remember, the gift-giving plan mustn’t show any flaw, this relates to whether we can open a branch outside of the Seek Dao Sect!”
“We will keep it in mind!”
…
When Lu Yang returned to Sky Gate Mountain, Eldest Senior Sister was still in her usual meditation practice.
As she sensed Lu Yang’s arrival, she slowly opened her eyes and observed Lu Yang closely.
“Have you formed the golden core?”
A rare hint of confusion appeared in Eldest Senior Sister’s expression, she couldn’t recognize the type of Lu Yang’s golden core, “What type of golden core did you form?”
Lu Yang honestly admitted, “I formed the same type of golden core as Fairy Eternity, named the Invincible Elixir.”
Yun Zhi nodded in approval, “it seems like a type of Golden Core that was lost in the river of history. The name of the Golden Core is certainly fitting with Fairy’s style; as for its power, since it’s the same type as Fairy’s, it should rank in the top three amongst first-grade Golden Cores.”
“What’s the effect of this Golden Core?”
“It can perceive the opponent’s weakness, formulate targeted tactics, and achieve victory.”
“Oh?” Eldest Senior Sister became interested, and her tone softened a bit, no longer as icy cold, “If I were your opponent, could your Invincible Elixir discern my weaknesses?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat.
“I, I’ll give it a try.”
Lu Yang activated the Invincible Elixir to probe for Eldest Senior Sister’s weaknesses. As expected, the response of the Invincible Elixir was the same as before: “Can’t beat, try another one.”
Lu Yang informed Eldest Senior Sister of the result, only to have her continue asking, “What if I definitely want to fight?”
Since the battle was inevitable, the Invincible Elixir quickly gave a follow-up answer:
“Commit suicide now to ensure you maintain an undefeated record.”
Lu Yang: “…..Can I reform a Golden Core now?”
They say there are no regrets with a Golden Core. Lu Yang doesn’t know what others think, but he’s quite regretful.
Screw your goddamn immortal’s Golden Core!
