One Step at a Time

Lu Yang continued flipping through the pages. The Pill Formula and the Golden Core they formed all highlighted a sense of unbridled self-expression, showing no sign of any "no regrets about Golden Core."

"That's not right either. Maybe the senior brothers and sisters think that they would regret it if they honestly formed their core?" Lu Yang roughly guessed what the senior brothers and sisters were thinking.

This aligns with the consistent approach of the Ask Dao Sect.

Lu Yang himself firmly opposes this line of thinking. He believes that the future Ask Dao Sect needs people of his vision to lead it, to rectify its problems, to change its unhealthy Ask Dao Sect, and to guide Ask Dao Sect towards a more proper path!

The Pill Formula are varied and diverse.

For example, a senior brother, while browsing through ancient texts, discovered that many High Antiquity powerful beings were born with unusual features, such as double pupils, seven-colored eyebrows, or three eyes. Although he was already born, he couldn't claim to be born divine. As the saying goes, diligence can make up for lack of talent, and people can always come up with solutions. He placed his Golden Core between his eyebrows, which was like having a third eye, making him appear very divine. In particular, when the Golden Core emitted light, it could stun people.

"You say you were born different? Hey, that's all a lie. It was added later. Back then, the competition among geniuses was so fierce that without some unique characteristics or unconventional legends, you couldn't make a name for yourself." The Immortal Fairy scoffed at this kind of false advertising.

"However, there are also cases of birth abnormalities. For example, a child born to two humans had wings, which caused a sensation. Later, it was found out that the child's father had been cuckolded, and the child's real father was a winged person, which caused an even bigger sensation."

"What was your most famous feature back then, fairy?"

"Beautiful!"

"I'm not bragging, but none of the saintesses or witches back then were as beautiful as me! If there had been a list of the top ten beauties of High Antiquity times, I would have been number one!"

Lu Yang took the fairy's words as true.

Lu Yang also saw a senior brother who observed the celestial phenomena at night and pondered for a long time. He realized that none of the stars in the sky were as powerful as the sun. So he created the Sun Pill, which uses the sun's energy to fight. The Golden Core was extremely powerful during the day, but it became weak at night.

Fortunately Ask Dao Sect Cultivation Method covering various fields, and one of them, which stores solar energy, made up for that senior brother's Cultivation Method.

Lu Yang searched through all the Core Formation records of his senior brothers and sisters, but he didn't think these things could be of any use to him.

However, there were some gains as well.

Lu Yang has figured out the specific process of forming the core, and the most basic condition of perfecting his Law Power and reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage goes without saying.

To achieve the Core Formation stage, one needs to engage in comprehension. Some people actively pursue comprehension, such as Dai Bufan who pursues water and Senior Brother Ji Hongwen who pursues bamboo. Others let things take their natural course, such as Senior Sister Zhou Lulu.

Neither of these two Pill Formula is superior or inferior; it is entirely a matter of choice.

At present, Lu Yang has not yet decided which Pill Formula he will choose.

"This should be the Core Formation Pill Formula from my master's generation."

Lu Yang turned to the first page, where the four large characters "Silent Daoist" were displayed, along with his master's insights upon successfully forming his core.

"Haha, I've cultivated a Sword Core, a first-grade Golden Core. Those who come after me don't need to envy me. Of course, if you do envy me, there's nothing I can do, since this is the result of my hard work. Cultivation allows no carelessness or shortcuts; you need to be like me, down-to-earth, taking one step at a time."

"However, no one can learn this kind of insight from me. Everyone knows my talent in swordsmanship. I can easily learn the sword moves of the predecessors. Look at how hard my senior brothers work to form their cores. I don't think forming a core is that difficult!"

"Hey, the senior brothers' talent is too poor."

The following are the eight elders' evaluations of the Silent Daoist: "Taking one step at a time, what Ninth Brother said makes sense."

Lu Yang flipped over again and found that the Silent Daoist had accidentally fallen to the ground, covered in footprints. Lu Yang counted them and there were exactly eight footprints.

"Sword Pill..."

The Sword Core is a unique Golden Core Sword Spirit Root. As long as Lu Yang wants it, forming a Sword Core is not difficult. He may even achieve enlightenment in his dreams, just like the Silent Daoist, and it will come naturally.

"Do you want the Sword Formation Pill?"

Lu Yang shook his head. He had just reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and still had time. There was no need to rush into a choice; he could take his time.

"Does the fairy have any recommendations, besides harem Golden Core pills?"

"Hehe, that's of course the golden core I formed, the Invincible Core! It's the second most powerful Golden Core in the world!"

"How does it form?" Lu Yang had never heard of such Golden Core before; the name was too straightforward.

"By continuously battling cultivators, unafraid of challenges, and winning every battle, one cultivates an invincible aura of 'I am the only one who can do it.' Using this aura as a guide, one directs spiritual energy to circulate and condense it into a pill!"

"This is my own unique Golden Core, which I have named the Invincible Pill."

"I don't usually tell people how to form this kind of pill! Now you know the benefits of following me, right?" The Immortal Fairy said smugly, trying to attract Lu Yang's admiring gaze.

"Just to be on the safe side, let me ask you in advance: when you say you're invincible, are you referring to fighting against someone of the same level, or someone a level below?"

"Of course it's a level below!"

The Immortal Fairy's Golden Core was very powerful, so Lu Yang decided to ignore it.

Lu Yang spent three whole days studying in the Scripture Depository. His eyes were dry and his mind was foggy. Fortunately, his senior sister provided him with eye drops. After using a couple of drops, his eyes and mind improved.

"Forming the Golden Core is really something that needs careful consideration." Lu Yang rubbed his temples in anguish. He had read too many Pill Formula Golden Core, but he still didn't know which one to choose.

"Let's go for a walk."

Lu Yang felt his whole body freeze.

He greeted Zhou Lulu, who was guarding the door, and left the Scripture Depository.

Facing the sun, Lu Yang stretched comfortably at the entrance of the Scripture Depository, twisting his body to ease the stiffness.

"Senior Brother Lu, so you were here! I've finally found you." A voice, tinged with surprise, rang in my ears.

"It's Haoran."

The visitor was none other than Li Haoran I had met just a few days ago.

"See, I told you he was here." Li Haoran then said, followed by the languid Meng Jingzhou.

Is there something you need?

Li Haoran was a little embarrassed, feeling ashamed to talk about this, but he couldn't keep quiet. "My parents wrote yesterday saying that my fiancée has returned and they want me to meet her. I haven't met her yet, so I'm a little nervous. I was thinking of finding someone to go with me."

"I originally wanted to find you, Senior Brother Meng, and Senior Brother Man. But Senior Brother Man is busy studying Law Technique and can't get away for the time being, so I only found Senior Brother Meng."

"Senior Brother Lu, do you have time?"

Lu Yang thought about it. He didn't have anything to do right now, so it wouldn't hurt to accompany Li Haoran home. A change of environment might give him some ideas on how to form his core.

"Okay, when do you want to leave?"

"Is tomorrow morning okay?"

"OK."
