Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 248
Chapter 248: Chapter 247 Do You Believe I Say This is an Accident? (Thanks to the book friend who tipped all night) _1
Under the explanation of Lu Yang, everyone finally understood they’ve made a big mistake, what they’ve been studying for a good while as a black Golden Core was not a Golden Core at all.
It was not really their fault. The Mount Pig is full of gall, but gallstones only happen in Golden Core Stage and above. The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain hadn’t had any contact with Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts before, so it was understandable that they didn’t know.
The key point is, who would imagine that a Gallstone could emerge in the Golden Core Stage?
“This is very normal.” In response to Lu Yang’s inquiry, Fairy Eternity stated as a matter of fact, “Ordinary people get ordinary Gallstones, so naturally those in the Golden Core stage get Golden Core stage Gallstones. Totally reasonable.”
“You’re just lacking experience. You know about viruses, right? Those things that grow inside your body and make you sick. I’ve even seen cases where a cultivator’s Cultivation Level increases and the virus growth increases accordingly. Have you ever seen a Nascent Soul Stage virus cold?” Fairy Eternity proudly flaunted her bizarre knowledge.
Lu Yang shook his head. He hadn’t even heard of something like this, let alone seen it.
“In ancient times, the Cultivation Level of viruses grew alongside living beings, causing a lot of trouble. Yingtian Immortal established the Thunder Tribulation partly to help high-level cultivators eliminate viruses during their passing of the Thunder Tribulation,” Fairy Eternity revealed another secret.
“Old Three, if you don’t have real goods, don’t yell around!” The hook-nosed Big Brother chastised Old Three, who was in charge of the dissection.
Old Three was wronged. Just now everyone was eagerly guessing and didn’t recognize it as Gallstone, and now they blamed it on him?
Being the Big Brother shouldn’t be unreasonable.
While thinking, Old Three conveniently took out the gallbladder of the Mount Pig.
One, two, three, four, five… Saying the Mount Pig is full of gall is not a metaphor, but a description of the facts.
“The Mount Pig certainly has no small amount of gall: it charges at any monster it sees, even the Long Clan and Phoenix Tribe are no exceptions,” Fairy Eternity explained based on her own experience.
“Wouldn’t that cause general disapproval?”
“No, most people avoid them as much as possible. Think about it. In a fight, demon beasts mainly use their mouths and claws. After defeating a Mount Pig, its splashed gall makes you feel bitter and astringent. Who could bear that?”
“However, based on the characteristics of the Mount Pig, I have created a delicious dish that has received rave reviews.”
“What did Fairy create?”
“Bile Stewed Bitter Gourd, it’s all about heat-clearing and detoxification.”
Lu Yang shivered subconsciously: “This thing is highly appreciated? Who had the opportunity to taste it?”
“Immortal Jiuchong. At that time, he hadn’t become immortal yet. He was severely poisoned, and I saved him. Seeing him on the brink of death, I made him a bowl of heat-clearing and detoxifying Bile Stewed Bitter Gourd.”
“When he slowly woke up, he drank a mouthful and said ‘good’, then fell unconscious again.”
“Probably due to the poisoning, his body was out of control. When he saw me bringing the food, he was struggling desperately, and when he said ‘good’, his face was distorted. It was really pitiful.”
“… It’s quite pitiful indeed.”
“Did the poison get detoxified?”
“It did. After he woke up, he vomited for a good half a day, and the poison was all thrown up.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Isn’t this detoxification method different from what I imagined?
“Enough talking, let’s fight.” Fairy Eternity said, and once again kicked Lu Yang out of the Spiritual Space.
“Fight?”
Lu Yang muttered for a moment before reacting, and then opened his Spiritual Sense to explore the surroundings.
“There’s no one? No, they’re underground!”
Lu Yang looked down and saw that the ground was indented, indicating a demon beast was beneath.
“Get ready to fight!” Lu Yang loudly alerted everyone. The demon beast underground gave him a palpitation-like feeling.
Boom——
A worm as thick as a water jar drilled out from the soil. It had four silver rings on it, shining under the moonlight, and opened its huge mouth to immediately swallow two dissected boars.
Thanks to Lu Yang’s warning, everyone was able to dodge in time. Before the worm could appear, they swiftly jumped away, evacuating the area.
“What is that?” Meng Jingzhou was taken aback. Could a worm be so powerful?
“It’s a Silver Ring King Worm!” Lu Yang recognized the origins of the Demon Beast at a glance.
The pair of, oh, now there are two pairs, Silver Ring King Worms in Uncle Ba’s medicinal garden that were responsible for ploughing the soil were the kings among worms.
The pair of worms in the medicinal garden had five silver rings, with the sixth forming, meaning they were at the peak of Spirit Transformation stage.
The worm in front of them had four silver rings, so it should be at the Nascent Soul Stage.
What was even more troublesome was that Lu Yang’s much-prided swordsmanship could hardly threaten this worm, and it was likely that cutting it with a sword could result in two worms, making the situation even more complicated.
When the Silver Ring King Worm swallowed the third wild boar that was being roasted on the Three Flavored True Fire and still looked unsatisfied, it turned its gaze towards Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had not yet faced an opponent at the Nascent Soul Stage, the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain could not help in this situation.
“Shocking Heaven Six Forms!” Meng Jingzhou took the lead, clenching his fists, veins bulging, creating an enormous momentum that seemed to shake heaven and earth.
However, the Silver Ring King Worm had a layer of mucus on its body, and Meng Jingzhou’s full-force punch couldn’t even break through, completely dissipating his strength.
The Silver Ring King Worm flicked its tail, sending Meng Jingzhou flying, breaking several of his bones.
If it wasn’t for him being a Body Cultivator, that one strike would have taken his life.
The gap between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage is too vast, separated strangley by the Golden Core Stage.
“Break!”
Lu Yang shouted and unleashed the Destroying Formula, sword light like a waterfall, breaking the sound barrier, tearing through the darkness, and carrying the moonlight on the sword, it seemed like a divine killing sword.
This was the strongest move that Lu Yang was capable of.
The Green Peak Sword pierced through the mucus of the Silver Ring King Worm and pierced into its body. The Silver Ring King Worm writhed in pain, trying to crush the human.
It was rolling forcefully, and every time Lu Yang touched the ground, he used an earth shrinking technique, avoiding being smashed on the ground.
Lu Yang wrist exerted force, trying to lift it up, but the Silver Ring King Worm’s body was too strong, tensing its body and directly jamming the Green Peak Sword in its body.
“Roar, roar…” The Silver Ring King Worm let out a deep sound, seemingly scoffing at Lu Yang’s futile efforts.
Of course, it could talk, but it was too arrogant to communicate with these weak humans.
It suddenly opened its mouth and bit towards Lu Yang, but at the critical moment, Lu Yang drew out his Green Peak Sword and dodged the attack.
Lu Yang’s heart sank. The Destroying Formula was his ultimate move can kill a late-stage Golden Core or even a Half-step Nascent Soul stage Demon Beast with a single sword strike, but the sword didn’t harm the Silver Ring King Worm at all and even angered it.
More importantly, this strike drained most of his magical power.
“Tsk, Bad news.”
On the other side, seeing Lu Yang also out of options, Meng Jingzhou seemed to recall something and retrieved five Directional Teleportation Talismans from his bosom.
But there were seven people present. If he and Lu Yang escaped, the Silver Ring King Worm would never let the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain go.
“Young heroes, don’t worry about us, you guys go!” The eagle-nosed Big Brother saw the Directional Teleportation Talisman in Meng Jingzhou’s hand and yelled loudly.
Doing this kind of job, they had long ago dismissed life and death.
What to do! What can we do!
Meng Jingzhou gritted his teeth. Escaping is not his style, but without escape, everyone would die here!
In the end, he closed his eyes, pulled out a Directional Teleportation Talisman, and threw it to Lu Yang, “Lu Yang, catch!”
Lu Yang lunged forward. However, the Silver Ring King Worm chuckled and its immense body blocked between him and Meng Jingzhou, with the Directional Teleportation Talisman under its body.
“Want to escape?” It said for the first time, a frosty sneer full of mockery for Lu Yang’s futile efforts.
“Now!” Lu Yang shouted.
“Need you to say that?” Meng Jingzhou’s lazy voice sounded from the other side, activating the Directional Teleportation Talisman.
He was waiting for this moment.
An invisible cube of light enveloped the Silver Ring King Worm. It didn’t understand what was happening, struggling forcefully, but the light screen was extremely sturdy and couldn’t be broken.
When Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou first saw the Silver Ring King Worm, they were reminded of the introduction by the chamber’s attendants: “If you encounter a life and death crisis in the dense forest, just activate this teleportation talisman, It will teleport you back to the Demon Suppressing Pass. No attack from the demon races, including those at the Nascent Soul stage, can interrupt the teleportation process!”
On the contrary, if it can safely teleport people back to the Demon Suppressing Pass, why can’t it teleport demon beasts as well?
…
The cubic light screen, with the Silver Ring King Worm inside, turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Demon Suppressing Pass.
The three characters “Demon Suppressing Pass” on the city gate itself stopped the Silver Ring King Worm.
The guards were puzzled when they saw a Nascent Soul stage demon beast suddenly appear. They had been working for over a decade but it was the first time that they have witnessed such a brazen demon beast attacking the Demon Suppressing Pass without even trying to hide its identity.
“How dare you, a wicked creature, take advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack on Demon Suppressing Pass!”
A deep voice came from inside the Demon Suppressing Pass: it was a Spirit Transformation cultivator on night duty.
The Silver Ring King Worm watched helplessly as a burly man flew out of the city and towards him, feeling utterly desperate.
“Would you believe me if I told you this was an accident?” the Silver Ring King Worm forced a smile.
The burly man sneered, “Guess if I would?”
He extended his huge hand, and with a slap, he killed the Silver Ring King Worm.
