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

Chapter 20: First Grade Foundation Building Spirit Item - Yellow Flower Fruit

Qi Yuan put the matter of Black Mountain Sect behind him.

He continued to stroll around, holding a knife.

Along the way, he heard many whispers, all of them condemning Black Mountain Sect.

"Black Mountain Sect is truly despicable!"

"They actually injured Senior Brother Zheng, not putting our Divine Light Sect in their eyes!"

"Who let their Sect Master have a good adoptive father!"

"What's even more hateful is that Black Mountain Sect will still participate in the Foundation Building Conference in half a month!"

"What, Black Mountain Sect is also coming!"

"I heard that the chief disciples of several peaks are discussing yesterday's incident. Why is that person still strolling with a knife?"

"Keep your voice down, that person hasn't even reached Foundation Building yet. What's the point of discussing?"

"I'm afraid even Chu Tianxiong won't be able to win."

"Don't say that, Senior Brother not reaching Foundation Building is his own choice. He definitely doesn't want to stop at Qi Refining perfection."

Qi Yuan listened to all this, seemingly without any reaction.

...

Moonwatch Continent.

A trace of joy appeared on Empress Jinli's face. "Aunt Qin, have your injuries healed?"

Aunt Qin nodded. "Thanks to the imperial medicine bestowed by Your Majesty, my injuries have finally healed, and my strength has reached a new level."

"That's good." A stone in Jinli's heart finally fell.

After the Emperor and Empress Dowager passed away, it was Aunt Qin who watched her grow up.

She relied heavily on Aunt Qin.

However, thinking of something, she asked, "Aunt Qin, do you have confidence in the battle with the National Teacher of Nanfeng Kingdom in six days?"

The battle in six days would determine the life and death of Jinli and the others.

Once they failed, Sima Ting would definitely seize the opportunity to launch an attack.

At that time, Jinli would have no ability to resist at all.

Forcibly resisting would only result in the premature death of those who followed her.

Upon hearing this, a trace of worry appeared on Aunt Qin's face. "Yesterday, the Crown Prince of Nanfeng Kingdom visited Sima Ting."

"Sima Ting gave him a pill called the Primordial Origin Blood-Locking Pill."

"What!" Jinli gritted her teeth. "Sima Ting's intentions are clear to everyone!"

The National Teacher of Nanfeng Kingdom was a powerful King Level Late Stage expert.

He cultivated the Dragon Elephant Purgatory Technique.

The stronger his blood and qi, the stronger his strength. When cultivated to the highest level, it would possess the power of a hundred dragon elephants.

If Aunt Qin, who had previously consumed the Nine Flower Qiluo, had taken it, she would have been slightly stronger than the National Teacher of Nanfeng Kingdom.

However, the pill given by Sima Ting was a Peerless Grade blood and qi pill.

If the National Teacher of Nanfeng Kingdom consumed such a pill, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

From King Level Late Stage to perfection, it was a matter of course, and he might even have a chance to glimpse the scenery of the Sovereign Level.

The current National Teacher of Nanfeng Kingdom was no match for Aunt Qin.

And all of this was caused by Sima Ting, the Prime Minister of Nanqian Kingdom.

"Isn't Sima Ting afraid of being condemned by everyone?" The commander of the Imperial Guards, Hua Xian, was also extremely angry.

Sima Ting was becoming more and more unscrupulous.

Jinli frowned, took out the remaining imperial medicine, and said, "Aunt Qin, if you take these imperial medicines, can it enhance your strength?"

Aunt Qin's eyes flashed with shock when she saw the imperial medicine.

She didn't know where Your Majesty obtained so many precious imperial medicines.

"If I take these imperial medicines, I am confident that I can break through to the Sovereign Level within three years. But... there's not enough time." Aunt Qin's words were filled with regret.

Jinli furrowed her brows, pondering a solution.

Hiring a Sovereign Level expert with imperial medicine?

Not feasible.

Finding some medicine that could temporarily enhance her strength?

Not possible.

Jinli couldn't come up with a good solution for a while.

She couldn't help but think of what Qi Yuan said about recruiting some small demons in the Clothing and Hat Forbidden Area to help her.

This thought flashed through her mind.

Conquering the Yiguan Demon is not that simple.

Just talking about it won't do.

I don't know where to find a quick way to improve my cultivation.

Jinli couldn't think of a solution, so she looked at Qin Yi and said, "Qin Yi, let's keep your recovery a secret for now. Don't let Sima Ting find out. I'll find a way to improve our strength."

"As you wish."

...

"Greetings, Sect Master."

In the main hall, it was empty. Qi Yuan stood in the center, showing a respectful attitude.

True Monarch Kumuzhi glanced at Qi Yuan with a hint of mockery in his expression. "You still recognize me as the Sect Master."

A few months ago, this disciple of Seven Colour Peak suddenly revealed that the Sect Master of Divine Light Sect, who was him, was actually a spy from Demon Desire Sect.

At that time, he was shocked and thought that he had been exposed. The disciple from Seven Colour Peak, along with the other peak masters, wanted to take action against him.

Unexpectedly, it was a false alarm, completely fabricated by Qi Yuan.

He did have a deep connection with Demon Desire Sect, as he was personally sent by an elder of Demon Desire Sect to Divine Light Sect.

From a miscellaneous disciple to an outer disciple, and then to a true disciple.

Day after day, he lived in fear.

He often contacted that elder.

Every time, the elder would say, "Just wait a little longer."

Days turned into years, and he was cautious. From an undercover agent, he became the Sect Master of Divine Light Sect.

When the elder from Demon Desire Sect saw him again, True Monarch Kumuzhi directly changed his attitude and said, "A person from the demonic path, trying to sow discord between me and Divine Light Sect."

The elder from Demon Desire Sect was already on his last legs and was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Qi Yuan looked at True Monarch Kumuzhi lazily and said, "You haven't done anything to betray Divine Light Sect, so why can't I call you the Sect Master?"

True Monarch Kumuzhi looked at Qi Yuan, feeling extremely conflicted.

How did this disciple from Seven Colour Peak, who seemed to be talking nonsense, know that he was an undercover agent from Demon Desire Sect?

Or was it all made up?

"Qi Yuan, I have something for you to do," True Monarch Kumuzhi returned to the main topic.

Qi Yuan's attitude became serious.

"In half a month, there will be the Foundation Building Conference." True Monarch Kumuzhi's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness when he mentioned it. "This Foundation Building Conference will be hosted by our Divine Light Sect.

At that time, the Great Shang Kingdom, the Floating Mountain, Demon Desire Sect, and other sects will send disciples to participate and compete for the First Grade Foundation Building spiritual object... the Yellow Flower Fruit."

The First Grade Foundation Building spiritual object is the best among the Third Grade Foundation Building spiritual objects.

It is extremely rare in the Great Shang Kingdom.

It is rumored that those elusive experts in the Great Shang Kingdom only have a handful of them, and they use Third Grade Foundation Building spiritual objects, not even First Grade.

This shows the preciousness of the First Grade Foundation Building spiritual object.

When Qi Yuan heard this, he was stunned. "Why didn't the senior brothers and sisters wait for this Yellow Flower Fruit?"

"We didn't expect that there would only be a few Foundation Building spiritual objects formed in the secret realm this time, and one of them is the Yellow Flower Fruit," True Monarch Kumuzhi lamented.

If they had known that there would be a First Grade Foundation Building spiritual object formed, he would not have allowed the chief disciples of the other peaks to cultivate in advance.

Now, among the chief disciples of the other peaks, only Qi Yuan has not achieved Foundation Building.

True Monarch Kumuzhi felt that this might be a coincidence.

But it could also be the doing of the disciple from Seven Colour Peak.

She deliberately left behind a High Grade Foundation Building spiritual object for her disciples.

"So, this time, I want you to lead our Divine Light Sect to participate in the Foundation Building Conference, Qi Yuan. I hope you can bring glory to our sect and obtain the Yellow Flower Fruit!"

Qi Yuan felt somewhat helpless. "Can I not participate?"

"No!" The Sect Master of Divine Light Sect firmly refused. Thinking of Qi Yuan's personality, he added, "You only need to go on stage once at the end. It won't take more than an hour."

Seeing this, Qi Yuan finally agreed. "Okay."

"Sect Master, I'll take my leave." Qi Yuan was about to leave.

Seeing Qi Yuan's appearance, the Sect Master of Divine Light Sect smiled bitterly.

He didn't know if he could rely on Qi Yuan or not.

If the Yellow Flower Fruit was taken by disciples from other sects and another powerful figure like the Black Chicken Demon was created, it would be troublesome.

However, he hadn't thought much about it when Qi Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Sect Master, is the Great Shang Empress... beautiful?"
