Chapter 277: Chapter 276 Unstoppable Momentum_1
“It’s said that there is no regret in Golden Core, how could you regret it?”
Lu Yang heard Immortal Eternity’s teachings in his ear: “This is the Invincible Elixir, it can help you become an immortal second only to me in the future. What are you not satisfied with?”
Immortal Eternity stepped directly out of her Spiritual Space and took corporeal form 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 the talent for cultivation, but the invincible will that never admits defeat?”
“There are so many people who have been smooth sailing in their cultivation journey, and when they encounter a slight setback, they lose their fighting spirit and sink from then on. I’ve seen too much of this.”
“The invincibility I told you about is a form of will. The invincibility you developed in the dense forest and the Invincible Elixir condensed from it is the Pill of Will. The third function of Invincible Elixir, and its main feature, is to stabilize your will!”
“Invincibility is very important. In ancient times there was a saying that ‘the brave wins when they meet on a narrow path,’ in fighting your enemies, victory often hangs in the balance. When you have invincibility, you can win every battle!”
“Take me as an example, when I was in the Golden Core Stage facing Yingtian Immortal and Kirin Immortal, I fought with everything I had, relying on invincibility, and I defeated them both in one go!”
“… but didn’t both of them only just reach Foundation Establishment Stage during that time?”
“What’s wrong with Foundation Establishment Stage? Taking a battle lightly would be a grave mistake. Just like a lion uses all its power to swat a rabbit, you should understand this principle!”
“Aren’t there plenty of examples of those in Foundation Establishment Stage defeating those in Golden Core Stage? For instance, you, and me – we’re both prime examples. Who knows if Yingtian Immortal and Kirin Immortal could also have defeated those in Golden Core Stage?”
“The fairy makes a good point.”
Immortal Eternity continued: “And let’s take a step back, even if you lose miserably, the Invincible Elixir can make you remain full of self-confidence and believe that you are invincible in the world!”
Lu Yang: “…”
Isn’t this inflation?
“Then Fairy, did you ever lose when you were at the Golden Core Stage?”
“Are you joking, will I lose? When I was at the Golden Core Stage, I fought Yingtian Immortal, Kirin Immortal, and Jiuchong Immortal all at once. Who could beat me?”
“What about Time Immortal?”
Immortal Eternity dismissed casually: “Time Immortal is an awakened Firmament Tree, he can’t be measured using realms. There’s no point in me fighting him.”
Yun Zhi, standing by and quietly listening, was not surprised. She already knew that Time Immortal was an awakened Firmament Tree, as it was recorded in the ancient books of the Great Qian Era.
“By the way Eldest Senior Sister, I found a Herbal Celestial Grass with sentience in the forest.” Lu Yang fetched the struggling Herbal Celestial Grass from the knapsack.
As Eldest Senior Sister’s cold gaze fell on the Herbal Celestial Grass, it felt as though it had fallen into a frigid ice cellar.
“I’ve heard about it long ago, your ability to notice the people behind the Herbal Celestial Grass is commendable.”
Lu Yang was taken aback. From the sound of Eldest Senior Sister’s words, could it be that their entire journey through the dense forest practice was under her scrutiny?
“So what about this Herbal Celestial Grass?”
“The maturing process of Herbal Celestial Grass doesn’t necessarily involve eating humans. It chose the most aggressive path and should thus receive severe punishment. You should take this grass to Elixir Cauldron Peak, tell Seventh Elder everything about its deeds, he will know how to deal with it.”
“After returning from Elixir Cauldron Peak, I want you to find me again. I have something else to tell you.”
“Yes.”
Lu Yang’s curiosity was piqued. He wanted to know what Eldest Senior Sister meant by “something else to tell,” but he dared not ask, so he had to head to Elixir Cauldron Peak first.
The first thing Lu Yang did before going to Elixir Cauldron Peak was to hold his breath, complete his self-circulation, and avoid being poisoned by an unknown poison.
Even the Golden Core stage is no match for the poison at Elixir Cauldron Peak.
Luckily, after advancing to the Golden Core stage, one can control the organs to a certain extent, such as changing the positions of the internal organs, and one can also carry out self-circulation within the body, achieving the true meaning of reaching the sky and diving into the ground.
“May I ask where the Seventh Elder is?” Lu Yang found a familiar Elder Brother at Elixir Cauldron Peak, who was probably one of those who had lined up to fight him back then.
“Oh, it’s Junior Brother Lu, are you looking for Master? He should be writing in the pill room.”
“Writing?”
As the Brother from Elixir Cauldron Peak led Lu Yang along, he explained: “Yes, our Elixir Cauldron Peak’s pill refining style isn’t mainstream in the refining world, and outsiders are jealous of our talent. So, in order to expand the influence of Elixir Cauldron Peak, Master encourages us to write articles and publish them to the outside world to let them understand the real us.”
The vegetation in Elixir Cauldron Peak is lush, the plants provide ample shade, and there are spiritual herbs everywhere. Material for refining Great Recovery Pills and fasting pills are randomly strewn about. If one does not pay attention to their step, they might crush a spiritual herb under their foot.
Although they are not as rare as the herbs in the Medicinal Garden, these spiritual herbs can still fetch a good price if sold in the outside world.
“Here we are, it’s here.”
Refiners in the outside world enjoy a high status, and they usually prefer luxurious decorations to show off their special status. In contrast, the Seventh Elder’s pill room looks simple from the outside, just like a thatched hut.
The environment of the pill room is beyond comparison to a thatched hut.
Lu Yang could feel the strong medicinal power emanating from the pill room. This is greatly beneficial to those at the Nascent Soul Stage and can gradually improve their physical constitution.
After the Brother from Elixir Cauldron Peak left, Lu Yang gently knocked on the door, careful not to disrupt the Seventh Elder’s train of thought.
“Come in.”
“I’ve come to see the Seventh Elder.” Lu Yang respectfully saluted.
The Seventh Elder had a head full of white hair, but his face was wrinkle-free and youthful, full of life, leading one to wonder if this has anything to do with his long-term pill refining.
“I heard that you’re writing an essay, Elder?” Lu Yang was curious about the new academic trends in the pill refining world. It would help him show off when he met pill refiners in the future.
“Yes, I’m researching an ancient pill formula unearthed by the chief refiner of the Great Xia Dynasty. He couldn’t solve the mystery of the ancient pill formula, so he offered a public bounty, inviting famous refining masters to analyze it. If the mystery can be solved, it would be a boon for Elixir Cauldron Peak.”
“The ancient pill formula was written by an ancient master refiner, and it recorded an elixir that can make people pregnant. However, the elixir was not named. After discussing amongst ourselves, we, the refiners, decided to name it Procreation Elixir.”
“But, this formula is so old and incomplete, incomplete.”
“I’ve been trying to replicate it based on the herbs I can still identify from the formula and my own understanding, although all attempts have failed, it has ruled out many possibilities.”
“So far, I haven’t heard of anyone who has successfully replicated the formula.”
“But what I find strange is that the medicinal materials written in the formula are all for beauty and nourishment, and don’t have any pregnancy effects. I suspect that the formula is missing some medicinal material that was only available in ancient times but is now extinct.”
“Can I have a look?” Lu Yang felt that the Procreation Elixir sounded familiar.
The Seventh Elder took out a copy of the pill formula, which listed many medicinal materials. The pill formula was clipped off.
This is a pill formula written by a refiner named Qinghe, which described the effect of the Procreation Elixir at the beginning: it makes people pregnant when administered with river water.
Lu Yang hesitated for a moment and said, “Is it possible, I mean just may be, that it’s not the Procreation Elixir that makes the woman pregnant, but the river water?”
