Floating
The immortal fairy was sleeping soundly, Lu Yang, feeling embarrassed to disturb her slumber, began to research the invincible pill on his own.
Lu Yang's spiritual energy reserves were already higher than those of others at the same level, which was due to his own superior abilities. After forming his core, his spiritual energy reserves underwent a dramatic transformation.
"My spiritual energy reserves have increased at least tenfold, and the speed at which I absorb external Spiritual Qi has also increased. Without using highly destructive techniques like the 'Slash Technique' or 'Break Technique,' I can maintain a balance between the spiritual energy I use and the Spiritual Qi I absorb in ordinary battles. This will save me money on buying Great Rejuvenation Pills in future battles."
During the battle with Mu Tiancao, I consumed Great Rejuvenation Pills like they were free, leaving only a pitiful few. Thinking about it afterwards, I felt a pang of regret.
"Furthermore, my physical fitness has improved. My strength, speed, and reaction time are all far beyond those of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Now, I can even compete with other body cultivators of the same level!" Lu Yang said with a smile, very confident in himself.
His physical abilities have always been a weakness, inferior to physical cultivators like Meng Jingzhou, and even more inferior to Confucian cultivators like Man Gu.
Now he has finally made up for this shortcoming.
Lu Yang was extremely proud, as his Golden Core was the same type used by immortals, second only to the Golden Core used by concubines, ranking second among first-grade Golden Core!
The Golden Core of the Harem concentrates the power of the harem into one person; it is a form of borrowing power and does not count as the power of an individual.
Strictly speaking, the power of the Golden Core of the Harem is the power of a group of people; its power alone is not as great as that of the Invincible Elixir.
My own invincible pill is truly the number one Golden Core in the real sense!
According to the Immortal Fairy, this is even more powerful than the Senior Sister's Golden Core!
Lu Yang believed himself to be invincible and capable of defeating anyone.
It's commonly known as getting carried away.
"The strength of my Divine Sense has also increased."
The most obvious change is in Lu Yang's mental space. If it used to be a single hotel room, it is now a large bungalow with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms!
The Immortal Fairy was the first to notice the changes in her spiritual space and made adjustments—she tripled the size of her bed and then slept comfortably.
Lu Yang unleashed his Divine Sense, and the entire flying boat was within its Divine Sense, something that would have been impossible before.
Lu Yang saw that the levitation array of the flying boat had malfunctioned. The array repairman on board spent half a day repairing it, finally breaking the levitation array completely. Then, fearing that he would be discovered and have his year-end bonus deducted, the array repairman flew directly to the bottom of the flying boat and lifted it into flight.
"... Did I just see something incredible?"
"The distance and number of clones that can be controlled should have increased as well, but I don't know by how much."
You can't just bring out a flowerpot and create a clone on the spaceship; that would look bad.
"Let's test it when we get back."
"I just don't know what other uses my Golden Core has." Lu Yang studied it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
"Never mind, let's just ask the fairy when she wakes up."
The airship flew without incident, and upon reaching the next stop, the formation repairman sought help. They managed to repair the formation just before the airship took off.
After stopping at several major cities, the flying boat landed in front of the Ask Dao Sect, and Lu Yang stepped off the flying boat.
Lu Yang suddenly discovered that his Dantian was completely empty, with no trace of the Golden Core, and he didn't know when it had disappeared.
Where is my Golden Core?
He was about to go to the spiritual space to ask the Immortal Fairy what was going on when he saw her lying on the bed, holding the Invincible Pill, sleeping soundly.
Lu Yang was quite helpless and woke up the Immortal Fairy: "Fairy, could you please stop hugging my Golden Core? I thought I had lost Golden Core."
She quickly devised an explanation using her extensive knowledge of High Antiquity: "You wouldn't understand, would you? Do you even know about the ancient martial arts?"
The Immortal Fairy gently pushed the Invincible Pill.
Lu Yang nodded. "I remember it being a martial art from High Antiquity times?"
"Yes, this martial art doesn't use Spiritual Qi; it's purely about tempering the physical body. When cultivated to its limit, the physical body can rival that of the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Ancient martial arts can be divided into four categories: Ming Jin (manifest strength), An Jin (hidden strength), Hua Jin (transformation strength), and Bao Dan (emerging strength).
"So?"
"So I'm holding your Golden Core now so that you can enter the Golden Core Formation realm."
Lu Yang: "..."
The Immortal Fairy and Lu Yang shared the same habit: they liked to sleep while holding something. The Invincible Pill was something she hadn't seen in a long time, so she felt a strong sense of familiarity with it. However, she couldn't say this, as it would damage the dignity of an immortal.
"Fairy, do you think our IQs are on the same level?"
"How could you be as clever as this immortal?"
"Fairy, you've been sleeping for two days already." Lu Yang implied that the fairy had been sleeping too much and asked her to sleep less.
"What do you know? I sleep to recover my strength. How can I defeat that little girl Yun Zhi if I don't recover my strength?"
"If this were High Antiquity times, I could die and be resurrected on the spot, and the dissipated power would be regained by me."
"I have been dead for over 300,000 years now. The power in my body vanished without a trace when I died. I can only rely on sleep to slowly recover my strength."
How much have you recovered now?
"About 10-20%, if there are no other ways to speed things up, I can fully recover in another hundred years or so." She said it casually, a hundred years passing in the blink of an eye for the sixteen-year-old immortal fairy.
"How does it feel to have formed the Invincible Pill? Don't you feel like you're invincible? The Invincible Pill will make you invincible and unbeatable. It's the first-class Golden Core that I'm so proud of!" The Immortal Fairy patted Lu Yang's shoulder, as if she saw a second version of herself rising up, illuminating an entire era.
"How exactly do we do it?"
The Immortal Fairy chuckled, "Back when I first created the Invincible Pill, I spent a lot of time researching its Golden Core. With me here, you can skip the research phase and learn about the Invincible Pill's function directly."
"As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' The first function of the Invincible Pill is to see the opponent's weaknesses, allowing you to formulate tactics that target those weaknesses during battle. Wouldn't that guarantee victory?"
"I defeated Ying Tianxian and Qilin Xian when I was in the Golden Core stage, and that was thanks to this ability!"
Lu Yang's heart pounded. This Invincible Pill truly lived up to its reputation as an immortal's pill; it was indeed powerful.
"Come, let me show you how to use it."
"Good!"
The method of using the Invincible Pill is not difficult, but Lu Yang had not found the way until now. With the Immortal Fairy as his guide, Lu Yang quickly mastered the method of using the Invincible Pill.
"Try it on anyone."
Following the Immortal Fairy's advice, Lu Yang targeted a senior brother. Lu Yang remembered this senior brother as one of the members who had lined up to beat him up after the Five Elements Sect exchange meeting.
He was indeed no match for her before and took the blame for the Immortal Fairy. Now that he has obtained the Invincible Pill, he is determined to avenge himself and prove his strength.
The Invincible Pill slowly rotated, analyzing this senior brother's weaknesses. Soon, a line of text appeared before Lu Yang's eyes.
"If you can't beat them, find another one."
I'll try to post the second update around 10 PM. If it's later, then disregard what I said.
