Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 270: You Yin God, just a fame-seeking individual

Qi Yuan was quite helpless.

The game hadn't even started yet, and the character died.

"This Innate Seed is really not good, the gaming skills are too poor, probably only bronze?" Qi Yuan sighed.

The rewards from the previous game sounded impressive.

But is this it?

Might as well take matters into his own hands.

He casually glanced at the game icon, which was already about two-thirds loaded.

"At this rate, if I enter, my bones might turn to dust," Qi Yuan sighed, without thinking too much, and continued to sit on the stone stool, waiting quietly.

...

Fenglin Town is a small town in the mortal world. Due to the abundance of maple trees, the maple leaves turn red like fire, so during certain seasons, many wealthy families' children come to play in the city.

At this moment, Chen Xiyu lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a curious expression on her face.

"There's a strange person wearing a red robe playing chess in the mountains of Beiyelin?"

"Yes, miss. Some woodcutters passing by saw it, but that person's attire is too strange, and no one dares to approach," the maid replied.

Chen Xiyu's eyes lit up. "Xiao Xi, do you think that person... could be a legendary immortal?"

In the mortal world, within a radius of a thousand miles, there have always been rumors of immortals.

But Chen Xiyu had never seen an immortal before.

Since she was young, she had been fond of strange rumors and was particularly interested in such things.

"No! Miss, what if he's a bad person! Recently, there have been many incidents of skinning in the city. It's better for Miss not to go deep into the mountains and forests!" The maid, Xiao Xi, quickly dissuaded her.

Fenglin Town has never been peaceful.

A few days ago, the skinning incidents happened again. In a village near Fenglin Town, overnight, more than half of the villagers woke up from their sleep and suddenly discovered that more than half of them had been skinned in their sleep, bloody and terrifying.

Fenglin Town and the surrounding cities were in a state of panic.

After all, in the Kingdom of Zhe, skinning incidents occur every once in a while.

The former king even spent a huge price to invite the Immortal Master from thousands of miles away, but there was still no solution.

The skinning incidents continued to happen.

Chen Xiyu shook her head, her attitude resolute.

"I want to go and take a look."

Two hours later, accompanied by several guards, Chen Xiyu went to Beiyelin.

The forest was full of bushes and thorns. Even with the guards clearing the way, Chen Xiyu's fair arms still inevitably had a few bloodstains.

But she was still full of enthusiasm and high spirits.

"Miss, look over there!" Xiao Xi pointed ahead, her face filled with joy.

Chen Xiyu looked over, her eyes filled with curiosity.

In the depths of the forest ahead, a man in a red robe was sitting on a stone stool. He had his eyes closed, but from his silhouette, one could still see his handsome appearance.

"There's actually such a handsome man in this world." Chen Xiyu couldn't help but be amazed.

Her originally fair arms now looked extremely rough.

"He must not be an ordinary person!" Chen Xiyu's heart was filled with excitement.

She wanted to seek a chance to become an immortal and find out the true culprit behind the skinning incidents.

"Miss, should we go and ask him?" Xiao Xi asked.

Chen Xiyu quickly shook her head. "He has his eyes closed, maybe he's busy with something. Let's not disturb him."

Chen Xiyu hesitated a bit, only daring to take a distant glance at the man in the blood-colored robe.

About an hour passed, and the man was still sitting motionless, occasionally extending his fingers to place a black piece on the chessboard.

This posture further strengthened Chen Xiyu's conviction that the man in the blood-colored robe was not an ordinary person.

"Let's go back!" Chen Xiyu made up her mind. She must seize this opportunity.

How could an immortal bestow her with opportunities so casually?

She is just an ordinary person, nothing special, not the protagonist of the world.

She wants to go home, take out all the gold and silver treasures she has saved over the years, as well as the various precious and unique items she has collected, and offer them to the immortal, just to seek a trace of immortal fate.

She quickly returned home and took out everything she had accumulated.

However, her actions also aroused the suspicion of her family members.

Her cousin came after hearing the news, with an unfriendly expression: "Your uncle is not at home, and you are giving away the family's property so casually?

Little sister, the world is chaotic now, don't be deceived by scammers.

Just an ordinary country bumpkin, pretending to be a god, and you believe it?"

Facing her cousin, Chen Xiyu did not explain much, but said, "This is my money!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Her cousin looked at Chen Xiyu's back with a pitying expression: "Little sister is still too naive, where in the world are there so many immortals?

Even if there are immortals, would they bestow immortal fate so easily?

Most likely they would just take everything and leave, people's hearts are treacherous, and immortals are even more so."

In this country, such things happen frequently, where a certain lord encounters an immortal and offers half of his family's property in exchange for immortal fate.

Unfortunately, those immortals often take away the property and the immortal fate... is just a casual trick.

"I hope that after being deceived this time, little sister can be more stable and not daydream all the time."

On the other side, Chen Xiyu brought the gold and silver treasures, as well as the various rare treasures she had collected, and hurried towards the northern wilderness.

Her heart was filled with uneasiness and confusion about the future.

She understood what her cousin had said.

But she didn't want to give up, nor did she want to continue living aimlessly like this.

As night fell, Chen Xiyu once again arrived at a place tens of meters away from the chessboard.

She looked at that figure, her mood fluctuating.

Seeing that the man was still in a state of Nurturing Spirit with his eyes closed, she didn't disturb him.

Days passed one by one.

Chen Xiyu had been here for two days.

The man on the stone stool remained motionless.

If it weren't for him occasionally making a move, Chen Xiyu would even think he was a corpse.

Finally, four days passed, and Qi Yuan also opened his eyes.

Chen Xiyu, who was sitting, showed an excited expression in her eyes.

That immortal finally woke up!

She quickly tidied up, and asked the guards to carry the various treasures and move forward.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell on Chen Xiyu, his expression inexplicable.

During these days, he naturally knew about Chen Xiyu's arrival.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Chen Xiyu approached, her face showing a respectful expression, and she was about to speak when she heard the immortal speak.

His voice was like a pool of clear and green water.

"Do you want to seek immortal fate?"

The immortal's words were simple and direct.

Chen Xiyu's heart tightened, and she quickly said respectfully, "This humble woman is willing to offer everything in exchange for a trace of immortal fate from the Daoist."

Chen Xiyu lowered her head, her attitude extremely devout.

The guards behind her opened the treasure chest, and immediately a dazzling array of jewels and treasures entered their sight.

Various gold jewelry, silver ingots, and precious hairpins adorned with pearls.

The chest was not large, but it was filled with various things.

In another chest were the various ancient books that Chen Xiyu had collected, as well as some strange items.

To be honest, these things were enough to move some Qi Refining stage cultivators and reward them with some crude "immortal fate".

Qi Yuan looked at these items with curiosity.

Most of the strange things collected by Chen Xiyu were useless, except for one item that had a faint spiritual energy fluctuation. For a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, it could be considered an unexpected surprise.

With this in mind, Qi Yuan smiled calmly, "If you had come half a year earlier, it would have been interesting."

If you had come half a year earlier, these things would have had some use for Qi Yuan.

Chen Xiyu was a bit puzzled and didn't understand in her heart.

Then she heard the immortal asking, "Why did you embark on the Immortal Dao?"

"To become stronger, to control my own destiny, and to find out the true culprit behind the skinning monster!" Chen Xiyu didn't hide anything and truthfully spoke about what she thought.

Listening to this answer, Qi Yuan looked at the Wind Thunder Valley in front of him and said, "The true culprit behind the skinning monster... you may never be able to defeat them in your lifetime."

Qi Yuan was aware of the relationship between the skinning monster and the Wind Thunder Valley.

Faced with the Dark Sun in the Wind Thunder Valley, in the vast You Tian Domain, all the Yin Gods chose to remain silent and became accomplices.

For mere mortals, even if they knew that the Wind Thunder Valley was behind the skinning monster, what could they do?

"Even if you enter the Immortal Dao, you won't be a match for them. If you investigate and delve deeper, you may even attract killers. Do you still want to investigate?" Qi Yuan casually asked.

"The end of all things is death. If you are afraid of death, then there is no point in walking the Immortal Dao!" Chen Xiyu suddenly remembered a sentence from an ancient text, and with a sense of understanding, she responded in a deep voice.

Qi Yuan smiled.

He took out a short sword from the wooden box and threw it into Chen Xiyu's hand.

"The true culprit of the skinning is within the chessboard. If you can split it with a sword, I will grant you the opportunity to become an immortal." Qi Yuan said casually.

Chen Xiyu grabbed the short sword, but her hand was trembling, perhaps because she was too weak.

She held the short sword, looked at the chessboard in front of her, and her gaze became firm.

"Ah!"

She swung the sword with force, in order to fulfill Qi Yuan's instructions, her whole body fell, and all her strength gathered on the short sword, splitting the chessboard.

Bang!

The powerful recoil made her see stars in her eyes and her wrist was sore.

At this moment, the chessboard in front of her cracked, revealing a crack.

Qi Yuan looked at this scene and suddenly laughed, "The Yin Gods dare not split a mortal, but you did. It's really interesting."

As he spoke, he lightly tapped his finger, and a stream of light fell into Chen Xiyu's mind.

Techniques and some cultivation experiences entered Chen Xiyu's mind.

A look of ecstatic joy appeared on Chen Xiyu's face, and she quickly knelt down, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing the technique."

Qi Yuan shook his palm, "No, I don't take disciples, and I'm too lazy to take them. You gave me gold and silver, split the chessboard, and I will give you this technique. From now on, you and I are even."

Chen Xiyu's expression became disappointed.

She had finally encountered an immortal, and moreover, he looked kind and handsome. Naturally, she wanted to become his disciple.

With that, she would have some support when entering the Immortal Cultivation World.

"Alright, I'm going to kill someone now, so let's part ways here."

At this time, after the chessboard shattered, a door appeared in the distance, standing in the sky.

Qi Yuan turned into a stream of light and flew towards the door.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiyu was suddenly shocked, "The immortal can actually fly... Could it be the legendary... Foundation Building Ancestor?"

She also felt a sudden joy in her heart. If it was the Foundation Building Ancestor who bestowed the opportunity, then she would have hit the jackpot.

You see, according to ancient records, when an immortal like the Foundation Building Ancestor descended, even the emperor would kneel to greet them.

This was a true big shot immortal!

Little Xi, who was beside her, was excited and delighted to see this.

She decided that she would write down the adventures of these days and turn them into a book when she returned today.

In the end, she would also record that Miss entered the Immortal Cultivation World and the Foundation Building Ancestor battled the skinning monster.

...

At this time, in the Wind Thunder Valley.

A blood-colored figure appeared, holding a blood-colored long sword in his hand, standing in the void.

The sky behind him turned red at this moment, as if it were a sea of blood.

Any cultivator who came here would feel that this was a terrifying demon.

"The White Moonlight of the Dark Sun, your executioner has arrived!"

The sound rolled like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Wind and Thunder Valley Secret Realm.

The earth cracked, the crust churned, and the breath of countless wind, thunder, and fire filled the air, instantly turning the Wind and Thunder Valley into a hellish scene.

The flames burned, and the sound of thunder rumbled.

The trembling sound of the earth also resounded at this moment.

Countless towering giants could be seen moving on the ground.

These giants were several thousand kilometers tall, with sturdy figures, each one resembling a mountain, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

If placed outside, such terrifying power would be enough to sweep across all domains.

Facing these thirty-odd puppets, Qi Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

"Not bad, the quantity is decent."

A decent quantity means that there are many good things in the Wind and Thunder Valley.

"So many high-quality White Moonlight suddenly appearing at once, I feel a bit embarrassed."

Although he said so, Qi Yuan's eyes were shining.

"Hehe, Blood Robe Sword God, you finally came." Just at this moment, an old phantom appeared, looking at Qi Yuan with a playful expression in his eyes.

"You are... the authority dog!" Qi Yuan's gaze suddenly became angry. "Good, it was you who silenced me!"

Being silenced for the first time, Qi Yuan was naturally angry.

The head of the Divine Flower Gathering squinted his eyes, having control over all the pig slaves. Even when facing the Blood Robe Sword God, this powerful figure, his courage was immense.

"I didn't silence you, I was only protecting the members of the Divine Flower Gathering."

"Blood Robe Sword God, you are not a smart person."

In the vast world, there are so many talents. Do you think you are the only one who discovered the problem with the cultivation technique?

There are other heroes who have discovered it, but those people chose to lie low and not spread the news.

But you spread the news, causing chaos, and inevitably attracting the attention of the Dark Sun.

If the other members of the Divine Flower Gathering believe you, perhaps the Dark Sun will also deal with them.

So... I am protecting them!"

The head of the Divine Flower Gathering spoke confidently, seeming to have righteousness on his side.

"Only by silencing you can this disaster be prevented from spreading and escalating."

"Sigh, it would be so much better if you were content being ignorant. This calamity wouldn't have fallen on you."

Even though the calamity is terrifying, there is still a chance for survival.

The calamity is indeed terrifying, but it also leaves us a chance to survive. Why go and seek death?

If you go alone to seek death, you may become a hero and be respected by countless Human Venerables, but it will anger the calamity and cause other Yin Gods who want to protect themselves to be implicated.

For the sake of personal fame and fortune, causing the calamity to go into a killing frenzy, you are the true hypocrite and selfish person!

Fortunately, you act so high-profile, even without waiting for the calamity, you will fall today."

This is also the thinking and philosophy of the head of the Divine Flower Gathering.

The calamity is too powerful to be defeated, so why resist?

Not resisting may result in the death of some cultivators, but with better luck, they will be safe.

But resisting is undoubtedly a death sentence.

In his opinion, those Yin Gods who dare to take action against the calamity are just seeking fame and reputation, regardless of the life and death of their fellow cultivators.

If no one knows about their deeds, who knows if they will take action against the calamity?

"You old man, you are somewhat similar to Di Jue's people. Since that's the case... I'll send you to reunite with the people from Clear Light Palace." Qi Yuan waved his hand, looking disgusted.

It must be said that in the head of the Divine Flower Gathering, he saw the shadow of the old man Di Jue.

He constantly claimed to be acting for the greater good, but in reality, he was seeking personal gain.

It's one thing to seek personal gain, but to act like a true villain and be detestable.

As the saying goes, it's like being a whore and still wanting to be seen as virtuous.

"Blood Robe Sword God, you are very strong, easily annihilating Clear Light Palace, and even killing the four generals of the Lei Family.

But this is the Wind and Thunder Valley, even if a Mythical from the Central Heavenly Domain comes here, they will undoubtedly die.

Today, I will achieve my supreme accomplishment with your blood!" The head of the Divine Flower Gathering had the winning ticket in his hand, looking at Qi Yuan with eyes of a dead person.
