The Role of the Invincible Pill

Lu Yang remained silent for a long time before asking, "Fairy, how come this is different from the function you described?"

"This brings us to the second function of the Invincible Pill: it will explicitly tell you not to fight if you can't win."

"Think about it, why do you sometimes win and sometimes lose battles? What's the reason for the defeat? It's simply because you can't beat the other person!"

"Now the Invincible Pill directly tells you that you can't beat them, which avoids your defeat, doesn't it?" The Immortal Fairy spoke with conviction, her logic clear and her argument reasonable.

This time, Lu Yang remained silent for even longer, mainly because he actually felt that what the fairy said made a lot of sense.

Lu Yang used the Invincible Pill to check on each of his senior brothers and sisters, and the answer he received was always the same: he couldn't beat them.

"Your senior brothers and sisters are all at least in the late Golden Core stage, and they can all fight beyond their level. You, a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage who hasn't even stabilized yet, want to defeat them? I'd be the one controlling your body." The Immortal Fairy advised Lu Yang not to be too ambitious and to wait until Meng Jingzhou returned after forming his Meng Jingzhou before dealing with him.

"When you fought Ying Tianxian and Qilin Xian, did the Invincible Pill tell you what their weaknesses were?"

"You mean this? Invincible Pill told me that those two are both at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and told me to use my own judgment."

"..."

Once they reached the commercial street, Lu Yang regained some of his confidence.

The commercial street isn't just full of Integrated Body Realm Cultivator have retired and are living here; there are also Golden Core stage cultivators from other places who run businesses here.

These Golden Core cultivators were formidable fighters, but they paled in comparison to Lu Yang.

"The roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) owner is at the early stage of the Golden Core, with a relatively weak Divine Sense, making him susceptible to mental attacks."

"If you can't beat the waiter at Baixianglou, find another one."

"Six-winged duck, an ingredient, requires early-stage Golden Core cultivation. Its weakness is its fear of fire. You can use the Samadhi True Fire to fight it, or you can order a roast duck and have the kitchen prepare it."

"Tea shop owner, if you can't beat them, find another one."

"The tailor shop owner, with mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, has no weaknesses; I can defeat him by force."

The essence of the Golden Core is the unity of Lu Yang's essence, qi, and spirit. In other words, the Invincible Elixir is originally a part of Lu Yang's body. It can formulate effective countermeasures based on Lu Yang's cognition, which is equivalent to Lu Yang having an extra brain.

"Master Liu from the barbecue restaurant, if you can't beat him, find someone else."

"If you can't beat Chef Gao at the barbecue restaurant, find another one."

"Huh?" Lu Yang then realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the headquarters of the Immortal Cult.

The barbecue restaurant was bustling with activity as the cult leader and the immortal immortal were delivering freshly slaughtered beef and mutton from their storage rings.

"Lu Yang!" When the sect leader saw Lu Yang, his eyes were filled with complex emotions: three parts conflict, three parts regret, and four parts relief.

Master Liu and Master Gao had similar reactions.

If it weren't for Lu Yang, would the Immortal Sect have ended up in such a state?

Who could believe that this kid destroyed the Immortal Cult after only two months of joining!

"Lu Yang? Come, come, come in and sit down!" The Immortal Immortal's expression upon seeing Lu Yang was completely different from that of the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader; he was quite enthusiastic.

You can't be unenthusiastic, not to mention that this kid has an immortal fairy living inside him, the source of the immortal lineage, making him inherently superior to you.

Just considering this kid's status, he's a favorite of both the Immortal Fairy and Yun Zhi, neither of whom I can afford to offend.

Of course, you have to please them.

"It's a pity it's morning, the meat hasn't been marinated yet, otherwise I would have grilled some skewers for you." The Immortal said regretfully, it was clear that he really wanted to grill some skewers for Lu Yang.

Immortal Immortal Grilled Skewers – in my past life, this treatment was on par with a strongman removing his boots.

Lu Yang also felt a little uncomfortable. The higher-ups of the Immortal Sect were all here. If it weren't for the fact that the Sect Leader, Master Liu, and Master Gao had all been refined into vengeful spirits by the Senior Sister and couldn't harbor any hostility towards the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect, Lu Yang felt that he wouldn't have been able to leave the barbecue restaurant alive.

The sect leader and the elder of the Ask Dao Sect were contemporaries and both reached the Integrated Body Peak Stage.

"I have important business to discuss with my senior sister, so I won't come in," Lu Yang declined. Upon hearing that Lu Yang was going to see his senior sister, the Immortal Immortal quickly let go of his hand and stopped blocking Lu Yang.

After Lu Yang left, the Immortal narrowed his eyes slightly. "Lu Yang has formed his Golden Core. Can you tell what kind of Golden Core he formed?"

The sect leader shook his head. "Judging from its appearance, it is a first-grade Golden Core pill, but I'm afraid I can't tell exactly which one."

"It should be a completely new type of Golden Core, which is also in line with the style of the Ask Dao Sect."

Having stayed in the Ask Dao Sect for so long, the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect have figured out some of the Ask Dao Sect's patterns. For example, the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect never follow the usual path to forming their Golden Cores, and the Golden Core Cores they form are all kinds of different.

"Should we activate the plan targeting Lu Yang?" The sect leader opened the barrier and asked softly, as if afraid of being discovered.

The immortal nodded. "Now that he has formed his core, proceed according to plan and catch Lu Yang off guard. Remember, the plan must be executed while Yun Zhi is not around!"

"If Yun Zhi appears, all our plans will fall apart, and none of us will escape unscathed!"

"This matter must be kept secret. Only if we succeed will we have a future!"

The Immortal said in a deep voice, "Although we don't know the type of Core Formation Lu Yang has, knowing that he has formed his Core is enough. We can use this as an excuse to give him gifts and try our best to please him!"

"Remember, the gift-giving plan must be flawless; it's crucial to whether we can open a branch Ask Dao Sect!"

We will remember this!

Lu Yang returned to Heaven Gate Peak, where his senior sister was meditating and cultivating as usual.

She sensed Lu Yang's arrival, slowly opened her eyes, and carefully examined Lu Yang.

"He's reached the Core Formation stage?"

The senior sister's expression rarely showed doubt, as she didn't recognize Lu Yang's Golden Core type. "What kind of Golden Core did you form?"

Lu Yang honestly confessed. "The Golden Core I formed is the same as the one formed by the Immortal Fairy, called the Invincible Core."

Yun Zhi nodded. "It seems to be a kind of Golden Core that disappeared in the long river of history. The name of the Golden Core is very much in the style of a fairy. As for its power, since it is the same kind of Golden Core as the fairy's, it should be among the top three of the first-grade Golden Core."

"What are the effects of this Golden Core?"

"It allows you to see through your opponent's weaknesses, develop targeted tactics, and thus achieve victory."

"Oh?" The senior sister became interested, and her tone softened, no longer as cold as ice. "If I were your opponent, could your invincible pill reveal my weakness?"

Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.

"I... I'll try."

Lu Yang activated the Invincible Pill to probe his senior sister's weaknesses. Unsurprisingly, the Invincible Pill responded the same way as before, "If you can't beat her, try another one."

Lu Yang told his senior sister the result, and she continued to ask, "What if I insist on fighting?"

Since battle was unavoidable, the Invincible Pill quickly provided a follow-up answer:

"Committing suicide now will guarantee you a perfect record of victory in every battle."

Lu Yang: "... Is it too late for me to re-form my core?"

Everyone says that there is no regret in achieving the Golden Core, Lu Yang doesn't know what others think, he certainly regrets it.

Screw your immortal-style Golden Core!
