In the clear lake water, a graceful figure swam lightly, her movements fluid as she cut through the water like a fish leaping out, incredibly beautiful.

The graceful figure lay in the lake, drifting with the waves, enjoying this moment of leisure.

On the shore, Lu Yang looked helpless: “Fairy, can you not swim here?”

“You’re even meddling in my swimming? Take this,” Everlasting Fairy pouted, clasped her hands together, and a stream of water spurted from her fingers towards Lu Yang, who easily dodged it.

“I don’t mind you swimming, but please don’t swim in my mental space. It makes it seem like my brain is full of water,” Lu Yang said helplessly. He didn’t know what was going on, but since the fairy had returned, she particularly enjoyed playing with water, even creating a lake in his mental space.

“Go, go, go, go on your training and leave me alone,” Everlasting Fairy pushed Lu Yang out of the mental space, as if she were the master there.

Lu Yang was indeed in the middle of training. He was currently being besieged by three Golden Core stage wild boars, while Meng Jingzhou and the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain watched from a tree.

The wild boars charged fiercely with great strength. Lu Yang tried to avoid their onslaught and attack from the side, but the three boars coordinated perfectly, giving him no chance to strike from the side.

Boom—

One of the wild boars rammed into Lu Yang solidly, sending him flying far away, dust rising in the air.

“Go wild boars, trample him to death!” Meng Jingzhou shouted gleefully from the side.

“Is Young Master Lu alright? I see that one of the boars is mid-Golden Core stage, and the other two are peak early-Golden Core stage,” the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain, who were more considerate, expressed concern for Lu Yang’s safety.

“He’s fine, he’s fine. If he can’t handle this, then he doesn’t deserve to be ranked first in our generation. I might as well take his place,” Meng Jingzhou waved dismissively.

Last time, Lu Yang had kicked him off a tree to face a challenge; now it was the other way around.

The three wild boars wanted to continue their pursuit, but as the dust settled, Lu Yang was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, the wild boars sensed danger and tried to dodge, but it was too late. A cold glint burst from the ground, and a three-foot Qingfeng Sword pierced one boar’s abdomen.

The boar tried to resist, but Lu Yang flicked his wrist, changing his sword technique, and softly said, “Slash.”

He split the boar in half from the middle.

With one strike, the mid-Golden Core stage demonic beast was dead.

After days of training in the dense forest, Lu Yang had fought against more than a dozen different Golden Core stage demonic beasts.

His biggest takeaway was that fighting against Dao Seeking Sect’s brothers and sisters felt completely different—the Golden Core stage outside was so much easier to handle.

From now on, to regain confidence, he should look outside the Dao Seeking Sect.

“I’ve always told you, you have the ability to challenge higher levels. It’s just that your previous opponents were too monstrous!” Everlasting Fairy in the mental space lamented.

When she first revived, she wanted to show off using Lu Yang’s body to demonstrate what a real higher-level challenge was.

Who would have thought that the guys at Dao Seeking Sect were so ridiculous, ranking at the top even among the geniuses of ancient times. She couldn’t beat them at all.

Fortunately, later on, relying on her extraordinary wisdom, she used Lu Yang’s body to challenge and defeat a Spirit Transformation Stage, regaining her reputation.

The other two wild boars, seeing their leader dead, fled in panic.

“Chase them, don’t let them escape!” Lu Yang reminded Meng Jingzhou.

“I know, you don’t have to tell me,” Meng Jingzhou jumped down from the tree, and he and Lu Yang divided the task, each chasing one wild boar.

These three wild boars were demonic beasts that roamed around, ambushing humans. Countless human cultivators had been killed by them, so Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were determined not to let them go.

The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain waited in place. After just a few minutes, they heard the sounds of battle not far away. The fight was swift, both starting and ending quickly.

When the five of them came to their senses, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had already returned, each dragging a wild boar.

“Looks like we’ve got dinner sorted for tonight.”

As night fell, Three Flavours True Fire rose, casting a red glow on everyone’s faces. A wild boar was roasting over the fire, sizzling with oil that dripped onto the flames, causing them to leap high.

“Who would have thought that in our lifetime, we could eat food roasted with True Fire? All thanks to Young Master Lu,” one of the Five Heroes remarked, amazed that Lu Yang, so young, had mastered a type of True Fire.

While Lu Yang was busy with the roasting, the Five Heroes were dissecting the other two wild boars.

The inner core, leather, tusks, and even bones were all valuable items that could fetch a high price at the Demon Subjugation Pass.

The inner core could be used as a main ingredient for alchemy, the leather for crafting Spiritual Weapons, the tusks as status symbols, and the bones for making hearty soups.

“Look at this, this wild boar demon has twin Golden Cores!” one of the Five Heroes exclaimed in surprise.

“What? How is that possible?” The hook-nosed leader hurried over to check.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were intrigued and put down their tasks.

They had only seen twin Golden Cores within the Dao Seeking Sect and had never heard of anyone outside the sect who could form two Golden Cores.

On the ground lay two Golden Cores, one golden and shiny, the other pitch black, seemingly representing two extremes, one bright and one dark, imbued with the essence of “Dao.”

The more Lu Yang studied the two Golden Cores, the more extraordinary they seemed, containing infinite profound principles.

These were great treasures. most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on .

“Never thought I’d one day defeat a demonic beast with twin Golden Cores,” Lu Yang marveled at his growth.

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

Golden Cores are ranked from one to nine, with the first grade being the brightest and most golden, and the ninth grade being the dimmest, but still gold.

This wild boar, which appeared unremarkable, had actually formed a black Golden Core. Was it of ancient bloodline, or did it have some other extraordinary encounter?

“This wild boar is a descendant of the ancient Mountain Carrying Pig, capable of bearing two mountains on its shoulders. As far as I know, the Mountain Carrying Pig is full of courage but lacks brains, holding a low position among the demonic beasts,” the hook-nosed leader pondered, well-versed in demonic beasts due to his long-term residence in the dense forest.

“Then it must have had some extraordinary encounter?”

Meng Jingzhou speculated, “I’ve heard there is a rare heavenly material and earthly treasure in the dense forest called the Twin Stem Lotus, with one bright and one dark seed. Consuming it can reverse yin and yang and change one’s constitution.”

“Could it be that this wild boar accidentally found the Twin Stem Lotus, consumed it, and then formed these black and white twin Golden Cores?” ƒreewebɳovel.com

The hook-nosed leader nodded, agreeing with Meng Jingzhou’s guess, “If that’s the case, this wild boar was really lucky. So many people come to the dense forest looking for the Twin Stem Lotus and find nothing, yet this wild boar ate it!”

Everyone’s hearts were aflame with excitement. Was there any Twin Stem Lotus left? Could they find clues on this wild boar and trace them back to the Twin Stem Lotus?

“Fairy, do you have any thoughts? Can you identify the origin of these twin Golden Cores?” Lu Yang secretly asked Everlasting Fairy.

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

Everlasting Fairy was very puzzled. Wasn’t it because this Mountain Carrying Pig, full of courage, had been secreting bile for a long time, leading to the formation of a gallstone?

She had seen such cases often in ancient times.

What had this group been discussing for so long?

Where did the twin Golden Cores come from?

Lu Yang: “…”
