Twin Lotus Blossoms

After much persuasion, Lu Yang finally dissuaded the Immortal Fairy from showing off her culinary skills by saying that "mortals are not qualified to enjoy the cooking skills of fairies."

"Lu Yang, your thinking is wrong. When it comes to delicious food, everyone is equal. But let's let it go this time."

"The fairy is truly righteous." Lu Yang praised her without reservation.

He felt that his actions were of immeasurable merit, having saved countless lives.

In other words, there is no theory of achieving immortality through merit in the cultivation world; otherwise, Lu Yang felt he could definitely achieve immortality through that.

The seven arrived at the Landing Money Merchant Guild and took out various Demon Beast corpses from their identity jade tokens. These were all spoils of war, causing gasps of surprise.

"These... these are all Golden Core stage Demon Beast?!" It was the same waiter who had previously received Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. He could tell at a glance that these Demon Beasts were all Golden Core stage, and their corpses were intact with almost no damage.

This was mainly due to the fact that Lu Yang used a sword, which aimed to kill with a single blow, while Meng Jingzhou used his fist, using the hidden force of his fist to shatter the Demon Beast's brain.

The waiter immediately understood once he thought of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's identities.

Needless to say, a disciple of the Ask Dao Sect possesses extraordinary combat strength, making him synonymous with invincibility among his peers.

In reality, disciples of the Five Great Immortal Sects are synonymous with invincibility among their peers. If you can't fight against opponents of higher levels, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

What the waiter didn't know was that Lu Yang was exceptionally skilled in combat among the Five Great Immortal Sects, having defeated the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Realm in their battle against them.

A direct descendant of the Meng family. The Meng family is notorious in the capital for causing trouble. Those seeking revenge can line up from the Meng family all the way to the palace. If a direct descendant of the Meng family didn't have some skill, he would have been killed long ago.

The waiter also heard that headquarters was considering setting up a "Meng family personal accident insurance policy".

"Gentlemen, you don't want the inner core either?" The waiter picked out the inner core, which was the most valuable part of Golden Core stage Demon Beast. It could be used to refine pills that increased the probability of forming a core, and it was quite popular among Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

Some cultivators who are halfway to the Golden Core stage are only one pill made from an inner core away from truly reaching the Golden Core stage.

"They're useless, let's just sell them together." Meng Jingzhou waved his hand dismissively.

The waiter quickly assessed the price of the Demon Beast corpses: roughly three complete Demon Beast corpses at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm could buy one teleportation talisman, even with a discount based on the Meng family's status.

"Five more teleportation talismans, please." Having tasted the benefits, Meng Jingzhou bought five more.

He now has nine teleportation talismans, enough to deal with nine Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beast. This setup is more than enough to make him invincible in the dense forest.

"Here are four for you." Meng Jingzhou handed four cards to Lu Yang.

"Are there any higher-level teleportation talismans?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

"Higher level?"

"Even when facing attacks from Spirit Transformation stage Demon Beast, the teleportation will not be interrupted."

"Wait a moment, let me check." Because teleportation talismans are expensive, few people buy them, and the waiter doesn't know much about them.

"I'm sorry, we only have Nascent Soul level teleportation talismans in stock here. Spirit Transformation level teleportation talismans are only available at headquarters. Would you like us to send some over?"

"Have your headquarters send over three copies." Meng Jingzhou always prioritized security.

"OK."

"Have there been any reports of heavenly materials and earthly treasures appearing in the dense forest recently?" Lu Yang inquired. The Chamber of Commerce offered this service, claiming that as long as you provided enough Spirit Stone, they could find any information for you.

This is obviously false advertising; at the very least, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't know the eldest sister's age.

The waiter gestured for them to enter the soundproof room and activated the protective array to prevent outside detection.

Since it concerns important intelligence, it cannot be discussed in public.

"Someone has discovered twin lotus flowers growing side by side," the waiter said bluntly.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were both taken aback. They had just mentioned this heavenly materials and earthly treasures last night, and now it had already appeared?

"Where?"

The waiter spread out a map and pointed to one of the lakes. "It was discovered in a lake 110 miles south of Zhenyao Pass. Originally, that lake was inhabited by a fish king at the late Golden Core stage, a pufferfish spirit. Its body contained potent poison, and few of its level could withstand it. It was undoubtedly a tyrant."

"Moreover, it is rumored to have formed an alliance with four Golden Core stage Demon Beast, causing harm to countless people."

"Just three days ago, someone mistakenly entered the Fish King's territory, thinking they were doomed. Unexpectedly, they were not attacked. There were also the corpses of four Golden Core stage Demon Beast by the lake. They died of poisoning, and the autopsies later confirmed this."

"At the same time, the man also found the fish king's corpse in the lake, in pieces."

"We suspect that the Fish King and the four Demon Beasts had a disagreement over the spoils, leading to an internal conflict. The four Demon Beasts were poisoned to death by the Fish King, and the Fish King was also beaten to pieces and died."

"Later, people discovered twin lotus flowers growing side by side in that lake, which had been well hidden and guarded by the Fish King."

"That twin lotus will bloom in five days, and many people have already heard the news and are preparing to snatch it."

"Twin lotus blossoms..." Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou both smiled with interest.

Neither of them had decided what kind of Golden Core they wanted to form. Lu Yang didn't want to form a sword core, and Meng Jingzhou didn't want to form a single Golden Core. They both needed to rely on external objects to find inspiration.

It is believed that gazing upon twin lotus blossoms may lead to enlightenment and the attainment of the Golden Core Elixir; there are examples of this within the Ask Dao Sect.

When one of my fellow disciples was forming his Golden Core, the twin lotus flowers in his room happened to bloom. He observed the lotus flowers under the moonlight, gained enlightenment, and formed a Yin-Yang Golden Core with extremely strong offensive power.

Circulating the Yin-Yang Golden Core, one can utter sarcastic and absurd words, making it incredibly effective at drawing hatred.

Lu Yang recognized the man; he was his second senior brother, who was still training in the Golden Buddha Kingdom.

There's also the abbot of the Hanging Temple, the only one among the Five Great Immortal Sects leaders to reach the Tribulation Transcendence stage. He also referenced the Twin Lotus Flower when he was at the Golden Core stage.

The abbot of the Hanging Temple had lotus flowers tattooed on his Golden Core. This way, when he debated or preached scriptures in the future, he would have the special effect of lotus flowers spitting out of his mouth and lotus flowers blooming with every step, which was very impressive.

This is different from Law Technique. Law Technique is an external force, while this is a special effect that appears automatically, completely natural.

It has been praised by many great figures, which shows the powerful efficacy of twin lotus flowers.

"Lotus seeds are delicious too," the Immortal Fairy reminded Lu Yang, mentioning another benefit of the twin lotus flowers.

She noticed the twin lotus flowers when she killed the fish king, but they hadn't bloomed yet, and picking them rashly would cause the lotus flowers to lose their spirituality.

As a celestial chef, or rather, the only celestial chef in the world, I naturally cannot waste such a precious resource.

"Lotus seeds can be used to make lotus seed soup, which symbolizes many children and good fortune. If you want children in the future, you can make this for your wife."

"... Fairy, your thinking is too advanced. I don't even have a fiancée."

"It will happen sooner or later; it's a blessing from the immortals!"

The Immortal Fairy was full of confidence; her blessings had never gone wrong.

Lu Yang felt that his life was full of misfortunes.
