“Greetings young master…” The old woman said as she curtsied in front of Fang Lin. “Old Meng is right here to serve you…”
“So my golden guardian beast can actually think at this level huh…” Fang Lin muttered as he remembered the properties of the golden guardian beasts summoned by the Royalty of the Golden River Kingdom earlier.
Fang Lin can remember that those golden guardian beasts can only think at the level of animals.
But now, Fang Lin could see that Old Meng can actually converse with him quite well.
Fang Lin gave his golden guardian beast a smile as he said,
“Well, greetings to you too, madam.”
“Ufufu, what a naughty boy…” Old Meng muttered as she started to giggle.
This giggle however did not look good, as her body began to shake more.
Fang Lin tried not to cringe as he just gave Old Meng a smile in reply.
But as for Yao’er, she did not seem to fully accept what Old Meng just said.
“You old hag! You are decades too late to flirt with my master!”
“Oh my, aren’t you the same too?” Old Meng replied as she gave Yao’er a cold gaze. “You are way too old for your appearance too… right?”
“You!!!”
“Can you two please stop?” Fang Lin exasperatedly said as he stopped the two angry women from jumping on each other.
“Yao’er come back to my shadow. You can have a quality time with Old Meng later on.”
“Hmph! Count yourself lucky!” Yao’er shouted out as she merged with Fang Lin’s shadow. “The next time we meet, I won’t be lenient anymore!”
“I will be waiting for that then, black lace.” Old Meng said as she snickered quietly.
“Sigh.” Fang Lin then looked at Old Meng, who looked back at him innocently.
“Look, I think I do not need to talk to you about having harmony with Yao’er, since you seem to be old.” Fang Lin said as he picked up the Golden Gourd. “So please, go along with her, ok?”
“If that is what you want Young Master, then I shall follow it.” Old Meng said as she bowed her head. She then raised her head as she asked Fang Lin,
“So Young Master, what do you want me to do for now?”
“Well, I will not need you to fight for me today.” Fang Lin answered, much to Old Meng’s disappointment. “However, I will definitely need your help for my breakthrough.”
“Oh, so Young Master, you are about to break through the Manifestation Stage then?” Old Meng said, much to Fang Lin’s surprise. “Do not worry Young Master, I will help you on your breakthrough.”
“Wait, you know about cultivation?” Fang Lin blurted out as he heard the words that Old Meng just uttered. “Aren’t you supposed to be born from this place?”
“Oh Young Master, it seems like you still do not know much about this place…” Old Meng replied as she gave Fang Lin a toothless grin.
“Ok, it seems like I have no choice but to accept it for now.” Fang Lin shook his head as he realized that Old Meng will not tell anything more about the new information that he just got. “So, should we start now or what?”
“Let us do it now, Young Master.” Old Meng said as she entered Fang Lin’s body.
“…….” Fang Lin chose to not comment on how surreal the scene was as he saw Old Meng entering his body.
Fang Lin had no worries on Old Meng entering his body as he realized that as long as he held the Golden Gourd, there is no way for Old Meng to harm him.
So Fang Lin can just let Old Meng do anything that she wants inside Fang Lin, and Fang Lin will be fine with that.
“What the hell!” Seconds after Old Meng entered his dantian, and Fang Lin heard Old Meng’s shocked voice.
“Young Master, how come that you have these many cores inside of you!” Old Meng exclaimed as she flew out, looking at Fang Lin as if he was a monster. “Are those cores just an illusion?”
“Those cores are real…” Fang Lin said, which made Old Meng’s appearance become paler.
“Hey, hey, hang in there…” Fang Lin hastily said as he tried to calm Old Meng down. “I just got a technique that allowed me to have multiple cores…”
“You are talking about that technique as if it was just normal… There is no way for that to be normal!” Old Meng shouted as she pointed her fingers at Fang Lin. “You are a marvel, Young Master!”
“Do not talk like I am an important exhibition piece or something…” Fang Lin said as she let out a sigh. He then looked at Old Meng as he asked her,
“So, can you still help me breakthrough even if I have thirteen cores?”
“Of course, Young Master, I can still do that.” Old Meng replied proudly as she puffed out her bony chest.
“But because I have to manifest 13 cores… I will have to use the entirety of my energy. In my estimates, I will be in slumber for a day after I help you on your breakthrough. That is the only wat for me to recover my energy, Young Master…” Old Meng said these words as she tried to not look guilty.
“Are you fine with that Young Master?”
“Well, if you will only be in slumber for a day, then I guess it will be fine.” Fang Lin said as he gave Old Meng an assuring look.
“Old Meng, do not be worried for me. I am sure I will still be alive tomorrow, so do not be worried for my safety while you are asleep.”
“I understand Young Master…” This time, Old Meng’s cataract-filled eyes began to look a little brighter as she dived in once more inside Fang Lin’s body. “Here I go Young Master!”
“Geez, she almost acts like a young lady…” Wang Hao said as he shook his head in amusement.
“Ok, time to wait for the results then.” Fang Lin muttered as he started to lay down on the floor.
If anyone will see what Fang Lin is doing right now, they might curse him out, thinking that he is wasting his time by not cultivating.
But actually, Fang Lin does not need to do anything to break through the Manifestation Sub-Realm.
Fang Lin’s breakthrough will only depend on his Manifestation Treasure!
This is the reason why the Manifestation Sub-Realm is considered to be the easiest sub-realm to break though with.
At this sub-realm, only the manifestation treasures are needed to break through.
So the power that will be gained in this breakthrough will all depend on the quality of the manifestation treasure.
As for the Golden Gourd, Fang Lin was now sure that this Golden Gourd is a Perfect Manifestation Treasure, given the fact that Old Meng, who came out of the Golden Gourd, was fully solid and corporeal!
So now, all that Fang Lin needed to do it to just wait until Old Meng finishes her work.
“Well, this might last a little long… time to read some good books then.” Fang Lin muttered as he went to the pile of books nearby, searching for a good novel to read.
“Oh, this one is about a guy having dual cultivation with other people? Hehehe, this seems nice.”
“Oh, this one is about someone evolving from nothing? This is pretty good too…”
Fang Lin was then immersed in his pile of novels while Yao’er can only sigh inside his shadow.
*******************
“Young Master, it’s all done now.” An extremely exhausted looking Old Meng came out of Fang Lin’s body 3 hours later.
Her face looked extremely pale, and her body was trembling faster right now.
Even Fang Lin was sure that Old Meng was extremely weakened now.
“Old Meng, you did a great job for me. Its time for you to rest now…” Fang Lin said as he patted Old Meng’s back.
“Thank you Young Master.” Old Meng then turned back into golden liquid, which was sucked by the Golden Gourd.
Fang Lin then put the stopper back on the Golden Gourd as he rubbed it with care.
Once Fang Lin was sure that Old Meng was all cozy inside the Golden Gourd, he let out an excited smile as he said,
“Manifest, all my cores!”
“Boom!”
At the instant that Fang Lin said these words, a powerful presence appeared behind him.
This powerful presence was a star, which was letting out insane amounts of power.
When Fang Lin looked at this star, he realized with delight that this star was his Duality Heaven Core!
But his joy did not stop there.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
More booming sounds occurred as more objects appeared behind Fang Lin.
All these new objects that appeared were smaller compared to the star, but they are still letting out powerful auras.
In fact, anyone seeing these new objects can say that they are planets revolving around the star.
But for Fang Lin, he knew that these planets were his 12 Heaven Beast Cores!
“Hahaha, all my cores have manifested now!” Fang Lin cackled as he observed his thirteen manifested cores.
There are no signs of transparency or illusions within the manifested cores.
Fang Lin tried touching them, and they all felt real to his touch.
“Yosh! It’s a 100% percent manifestation rate!” Fang Lin shouted in glee as he began to activate his manifested cores.
“Hong~”
All the manifested cores greedily absorbed the energy from the surroundings, at a rate that was much greater compared to Fang Lin’s cores inside him.
All this absorbed energy was then transferred to the cores inside Fang Lin’s body which processed this energy into Origin Core Energy.
“Ok, I have confirmed that the energy absorption rate has definitely improved.” Fang Lin muttered as his manifested cores stopped on absorbing energy.
“Now then, time for the second test.”
The manifested core which represented the Three-Headed Khalkotauroi Beast Core began to glow as Fang Lin said,
“Khalkotauroi Armor!”
This ability which was now channeled through the manifested core, began to cover Fang Lin’s body.
Fang Lin let out a sigh of amazement as he stared at the Khalkotauroi Armor covering his body.
“Holy hell, the power of this armor has actually doubled!”
In a fit of excitement, Fang Lin then began to use other core abilities like time flow manipulation, swarm creation and even the Violet Martial Aura.
To Fang Lin’s delight, he found out that all of these abilities have really doubled in power!
“So this is the power of a Perfectly Manifested Core…” Fang Lin muttered as he could not help but kiss the Golden Gourd.
“Bai Huangdi! Just you wait! I will find a way to beat you up!”
