Chapter 290

Lu Yang leaned back slightly, seemingly frightened by Meng Meng Jingzhou's Jin Dan.

Two single Golden Cores; even Daoist Shendu wouldn't dare to do this. It really is a Jin Dan unprecedented in history.

He organized his words in his mind and said tactfully: "Two single Golden Cores, are you sure this won't make you even more single?"

Meng Meng Jingzhou waved his hand indifferently: "You don't understand this, do you? As the saying goes, things turn into their opposites when they reach the extreme; when a thing reaches its limit, it will turn to the other extreme. My Jin Dan is the same. When being single reaches its limit, it should turn in a good direction, becoming popular with women, which was already reflected when I took the flying boat back."

"What happened?"

"When I was taking the flying boat, there was a wealthy man from some small place who didn't know where he came from, relying on having a little spare money to bully the weak. I couldn't stand it, so I casually revealed my identity as the eldest young master of the Meng family, scaring him into kneeling and begging for mercy. At this time, several women with decent looks surrounded me, attracted by my personality and charm."

"……You're really good at self-hypnosis."

Meng Meng Jingzhou acted as if he hadn't heard Lu Yang's mockery, his eyes glowing as if a bright future was right before his eyes: "In short, I have already broken the curse of the single spiritual root of past generations and am about to welcome a new life!"

"Hey, this little guy's Jin Dan is a bit interesting." The voice of the Decayed Fairy sounded at just the right time, successfully attracting Lu Yang's attention.

"Fairy, what do you mean?" Lu Yang thought to himself, could it be that Meng Meng Jingzhou, this grandson, really succeeded in breaking the curse of the single spiritual root of past generations?

"Have you heard of a curse spell?" the Decayed Fairy asked mysteriously.

Lu Yang shook his head; apart from the Fairy putting a curse on the ancient barbarians, he hadn't heard of any curse spells.

"This kind of spell is called a curse, but it is actually an exchange, or a rule. Some people also name it 'Equivalent Exchange Technique.' Using this kind of spell, whatever you lose, you will gain something else."

"For example, you, Lu Yang, are very smart, right? Then you can use the Equivalent Exchange Technique to lower your IQ in exchange for peerless, powerful combat strength!"

"So magical!" Lu Yang was quite surprised.

The Decayed Fairy was very satisfied with Lu Yang's expression: "Hehe, now you know I'm knowledgeable, right? I estimate that people of your era don't know this kind of spell. You are the first person in your era to know it!"

"Does the Fairy know this spell?" Lu Yang became deeply interested in this spell. If he could learn it, wouldn't he be able to exchange whatever he wanted and be invincible?

The Decayed Fairy shook her head, pouring a bucket of cold water on Lu Yang: "No one can learn this spell, or rather, those who want to learn this spell will never learn it."

Lu Yang was confused by this strange logic. Those who want to learn this spell will never learn it; could it be that those who don't want to learn this spell can learn it?

"Yes, those who don't want to learn this spell can learn it."

The Decayed Fairy continued: "The 'Equivalent Exchange Technique' doesn't need to be learned. When the opportunity comes, it can naturally be cast."

"And the person casting the spell often doesn't know that they have already cast the spell."

"This is like the first person in human history to cast a spell. He didn't deliberately learn or cast it, but various factors were superimposed together, and the spell was released as a matter of course."

"I see." Lu Yang was clearly a bit disappointed; he thought he could learn a new spell again.

Immediately, Lu Yang realized something was wrong; the topic had drifted away without him noticing: "Wait, aren't we discussing Meng Meng Jingzhou's Jin Dan? How did we get to the Equivalent Exchange Technique?"

"It didn't drift away. It wasn't obvious before, and I didn't think in this direction, but now that I look at it, this little guy surnamed Meng has already cast the Equivalent Exchange Technique."

"What do you mean?"

The Decayed Fairy analyzed seriously, unraveling the secret of the single spiritual root: "Why is the single spiritual root powerful? It's because it uses being single as the price in exchange for powerful cultivation talent and combat strength. This is the genuine Equivalent Exchange Technique!"

"If an ordinary single spiritual root has a relationship with a woman, the price is that the pure yang body is broken, and the cultivation base will no longer improve. Then, after being strengthened by two single spiritual roots, if he has a relationship with a woman, his cultivation base will plummet!"

"The little guy surnamed Meng strengthened the single attribute of his spiritual root, and with the courage to burn his bridges, he exchanged it for peak combat strength. Among the single spiritual roots of past generations, he should be the strongest!"

Lu Yang's eyelids twitched, thinking to himself that if Meng Meng Jingzhou knew about this, he would probably regret it so much that his intestines turned green, so he asked kindly: "Is there a way to break it?"

"Yes, the Equivalent Exchange Technique cannot be manifested on an immortal. The little guy surnamed Meng just needs to become an immortal."

Whether Meng Meng Jingzhou can become an immortal is one thing, but even if he can, how long would it take to cultivate to become an immortal?

Only five immortals appeared in the ancient world, and I don't know how many have appeared in these 300,000 years; the eldest senior sister didn't tell me either.

Becoming an immortal is harder than ascending to heaven.

Lu Yang thought thoughtfully: "In other words, Meng Meng Jingzhou exchanged the happiness of his lower body for the strength of his later life."

Admirable.

"Hmm, why are you looking at me with that kind of look?" Meng Meng Jingzhou felt that the look Lu Yang was giving him was very strange, hard to describe, like…… pity?

Meng Meng Jingzhou stretched: "Just formed my core, the fighting in the dense forest wasn't satisfying enough. Watch me go to the arena to get some activity."

Having formed a dual-single Jin Dan unprecedented in history, he had to show it off no matter what.

Before Lu Yang could react, Meng Meng Jingzhou paid the bill and left, heading toward the lively arena not far away.

At this time, the battle in the arena had just ended, and the two sides had left the stage. Meng Meng Jingzhou jumped onto the arena, shining brightly like a small sun: "Haha, I just formed my core, I wonder which senior brother or sister will come up to give me some pointers?"

Meng Meng Jingzhou felt that he used to be at the Foundation Establishment stage and couldn't beat the senior brothers and sisters, but now that everyone was at the Jin Dan stage, could he still not beat them?

"I'll come." A bald senior brother who looked like he had achieved a small success in the Buddhist Golden Body jumped onto the arena, smiling honestly, "Junior Brother Meng, please show mercy."

The bald senior brother was named Zheng Jing, with a late Jin Dan cultivation base, and was not conspicuous among the many Jin Dan stage senior brothers.

"Haha, Senior Brother, don't hold back. I am no longer what I used to be," Meng Meng Jingzhou said heartily.

Soon, Lu Yang used a wood clone to carry Meng Meng Jingzhou down on a stretcher.

"A perfectly good person, why do you have to seek death?" Lu Yang sighed, rejoicing that he had the Invincible Pill and knew who he could beat and who he couldn't.

Otherwise, he would end up like Meng Meng Jingzhou, being carried off the field.

If Meng Meng Jingzhou were still at the Foundation Establishment stage, Senior Brother Zheng wouldn't have been so ruthless, but now that Meng Meng Jingzhou had formed his core and had strong resistance and recovery abilities, the attacks were naturally heavier.

Lu Yang was just about to carry Meng Meng Jingzhou back when he saw three figures blocking his way.

Lu Yang looked up; they were all old acquaintances, Master Liu and Master Gao from the barbecue shop.

"Please come with us."

The second update is around eleven o'clock.
