Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Twin Golden Cores _1

Within the clear lake water, a beautiful figure was swimming, moving gracefully. Her hands parted the water’s surface with their strokes, her grace akin to a fish leaping out of the water in an extreme display of beauty.

The figure lay in the lake, going with the flow, enjoying these moments of leisure.

On the shore, Lu Yang stood with a helpless expression: “Fairy, can you stop swimming here?”

“Swimming is also something you want to control? Splat!” Fairy Eternity pouted, her hands came together, and a column of water sprayed from the gaps in her fingers towards Lu Yang, who easily dodged it.

“I naturally can’t control your swimming, but please don’t swim in my Spiritual Space, it makes me look like my mind is all water.” Lu Yang helplessly remarked, wondering why ever since the Fairy came back, she had been unusually fond of playing with water, even creating a lake in his Spiritual Space.

“Go away, focus on your training, don’t bother me.” Fairy Eternity ejected Lu Yang out of the Spiritual Space, appearing to act like the owner of the place.

Lu Yang indeed was involved in a process of cultivation training. Now, he was surrounded by three Golden Core Stage wild boars while Meng Jingzhou and the five heroes from Eagle Mountain watched as if it was an entertainment.

The wild boars charged around with incredible strength. Lu Yang tried to dodge their attacks and target them from the side, but the wild boars, well-coordinated as they were, gave him no such opportunity.

Boom–––

Lu Yang was squarely hit by one of the wild boars and flew away, disappearing into a cloud of dust.

“You can do it, wild pig, kill him!” Meng Jingzhou gleefully cheered from the side.

“Is Young Hero Lu okay? I can see that one of the three wild pigs is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, and the other two are at the top of the initial stage of Golden Core, right?” The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were more compassionate and worried about Lu Yang’s safety.

“Not to worry, if they can’t even defeat him, how can they consider him the number one in their generation? I could do a better job!” Meng Jingzhou dismissed their concerns with a wave of his hand.

The last time Lu Yang had kicked him off a tree to fight, this time it was bound to happen again.

When the three wild pigs wanted to continue their attack, the dust cloud dispersed, but Lu Yang’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, the wild pigs became alert, trying to evade, but it was too late. A cold glint of light emerged from the ground, and Lu Yang’s three-foot-long Green Peak Sword pierced through a wild pig’s abdomen.

The wild pig attempted to resist, but Lu Yang only shook his wrist, changed his sword move, and lightly commanded, “Slash”.

He directly split the wild pig in half, into two parts.

With one stroke, a Golden Core Stage Demon Beast was killed.

After several days of training in the dense forest, Lu Yang had dealt with more than a dozen different types of Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts.

His biggest takeaway was that fighting these beasts was entirely different from sparring with his Senior Brothers and Sisters of the Seek Dao Sect – the Golden Core Stage beasts outside the sect were so easy to defeat.

From now on, if he needed a confidence boost, he shouldn’t look to the sect, he should come out and find it.

“As I have been saying, you have the ability to challenge those beyond your level. Your previous opponents were just too abnormal!” Fairy Eternity defended herself within the Spiritual Space.

When she had just revived, she wanted to show off her skills through Lu Yang’s body to demonstrate to him what a cross-level challenge meant.

However, who could have expected that all those in the Seek Dao Sect were so outrageous? They were high achievers who, even if compared to those talented warriors of ancient times, would still rank at the forefront. She could not defeat them at all.

Luckily, she was later able to challenge and defeat those in the Divinity Transformation Stage with Lu Yang’s body, thus reclaiming her dignity due to her exceptional wisdom.

The other two wild pigs saw their big brother dead and started to panic and flee.

“Quick, chase them, we can’t let them get away!” Lu Yang reminded Meng Jingzhou.

“I know, do you need to say it?” Meng Jingzhou jumped off the tree, and he and Lu Yang divided the task between them, each chasing after a wild pig.

These three wild pigs were known to wander around and ambush humans. They had killed who knows how many human Cultivators, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou certainly couldn’t let them go.

The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain waited in the original place. In just a few minutes, they heard fighting sounds from not far away, the noises came quickly and also disappeared quickly.

By the time the five of them returned to their senses, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were already back, each dragging a wild pig.

“Our dinner tonight is secured.”

…

When night fell, the Three Flavored True Fire rose, illuminating the faces of the seven people, causing them to appear reddish. A wild pig was hung over the fire, slowly being roasted. The sizzling oil dripped on the True Fire, causing the flames to leap up high.

“I never thought in our lives we would have a chance to eat food roasted using True Fire. All thanks to Young Hero Lu.” The Five Heroes marveled, they were surprised that Lu Yang, despite his young age, had already mastered a True Fire.

Taking advantage of Lu Yang’s grilling, the Five Heroes were dissecting the other two wild pigs.

The Inner Core, skin, tusks, and even the bones, all were valuable items that could fetch a handsome price at the Demon Suppressing Pass.

The Inner Core could be used as the primary material for Refining Pills, the skin could be used to forge magic instruments, the tusks could be used as decoration indicating status, and the bones could be used to make broth.

“Everyone, look. This wild pig has Twin Golden Cores!” One of the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain exclaimed.

“What? Is it really?” Hearing this, the Eagle Nosed Big Brother immediately went over to examine it.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou also took an interest and put down their current tasks.

They had only heard about Twin Golden Cores within the Seek Dao Sect, but they had never heard of anyone outside the sect who could actually grow two Golden Cores.

Displayed on the ground were two Golden Cores, one golden and the other pitch black, seeming to represent two extremes, light and darkness, with a sense of “the Way” contained within them.

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more extraordinary these two Golden Cores seemed to be. They contained boundless truths.

What a great thing indeed.

” I can’t believe that I was able to defeat a Demon Beast with Twin Golden Cores in my life,” Lu Yang was moved by his own growth.

Meng Jingzhou also found it extraordinary. He had never heard of anyone having a black Golden Core.

Golden Cores are divided into nine grades. The first grade being the brightest, shining gold, the ninth being the least bright, but also gold.

This wild pig, which didn’t look particularly impressive, was able to grow a black Golden Core. Did it have a bloodline of the ancients, or had it encountered some fortune?

This wild pig is a descendant of the ancient Mount Pig. It can carry two mountains on its shoulders. The Mount Pig is all guts and no brains, so its status in the Demon Race is not high,” The Elderly Big Brother speculated. Living in a dense forest for a long time, he understood a lot about Demon Beasts.

“So, it must have encountered some kind of fortuitous event?”

Meng Jingzhou speculated, “It is said that there is a rare heavenly treasure in the forest, known as the Twin Lotus. The seeds of the Twin Lotus are one light and one dark. Consuming it can reverse Yin and Yang and change one’s constitution.”

“Could it be that this wild pig inadvertently found the Twin Lotus and after consuming it, grew these Twin Golden Cores, one black and one white?”

The Old Brother nodded, agreeing with Meng Jingzhou’s speculation: “If that is true, this wild pig is indeed very fortunate. There are many people who come to the forest in order to look for the Twin Lotus, but they obtain nothing. Instead, this wild pig managed to consume it.”

Everyone’s hearts burned with desire. Was there any leftover Twin Lotus where the pig found it? Would it be possible to find clues from its body, follow the vine to get the melon, and locate the Twin Lotus?

“Fairy, do you have any thoughts? Can you figure out the origins of these Twin Golden Cores?” Within the privacy of the Spiritual Space, Lu Yang quietly asked Fairy Eternity.

“The Twin Golden Cores? Isn’t that black one a gallstone?”

Fairy Eternity was very puzzled; was it not due to the fact that Mount Pig is all guts that over time it had excreted bile, which accumulated and condensed into a gallstone?

She had often seen this situation in ancient times.

What were these people talking about?

Where did these Twin Golden Cores come from?

Lu Yang: “…”
