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

Chapter 284: Are You the Illegitimate Child of the Manor Lord?

"You're quite unexpected too," Qi Yuan glanced at the woman in the tight-fitting suit.

The woman in the tight-fitting suit was slightly stunned, a complex expression flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"You're not pretending to be sick, are you?" She looked surprised.

She had seen Qi Yuan's diagnosis report and had also communicated with the female doctor.

Qi Yuan's diagnosis was accurate.

"How did you know that I'm pretending to be sick? Having a mental illness certificate makes things easier," Qi Yuan said seriously.

He had been holding onto this mental illness certificate all along.

Now, he was playing the role of a mentally ill person.

"Really?" The woman in the tight-fitting suit looked curious, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Absolutely, do you think I look like someone with a mental illness?" Qi Yuan said confidently.

Soon, the set meal they ordered was served.

Qi Yuan and the woman started eating and chatting.

"Where is Cui Fan? I need to find him urgently," Qi Yuan asked while eating a chicken leg.

Finding Cui Fan naturally meant borrowing a high-interest loan, maybe even millions.

The woman in the tight-fitting suit smiled coquettishly, "He got caught and is in prison."

"What?" Qi Yuan was stunned, "What happened?"

His luck was really bad!

Just the day before yesterday, he was chatting with Cui Fan, planning to borrow some high-interest loans to spend, and now he was in prison?

"He is suspected of illegal operation of high-interest loans and violent debt collection. He got caught. By the way, there has been a crackdown on high-interest loans in Tianyue City these days, and most of them have been caught," the woman in the tight-fitting suit said with a smile.

Qi Yuan was speechless.

"Do you need money?" The woman in the tight-fitting suit looked at Qi Yuan and casually asked.

"Yes, I was planning to borrow from a high-interest loan," Qi Yuan answered truthfully.

According to what Xiaomei said, it seemed that borrowing from a high-interest loan was not an option for now.

"The background of high-interest loans is not easy to deal with. Either they are involved in the underworld or... If you need money, it's better not to borrow from high-interest loans," the woman named Xiaomei said softly.

In Tianyue City, the relationships involving high-interest loans were complicated, and those who got caught were just the expendable pawns.

"But... I need money," Qi Yuan said helplessly, "The police are working too efficiently. Couldn't they wait until I finish borrowing the money? That way, I wouldn't have to pay it back."

"What do you need the money for? How much do you need?" Xiaomei asked casually.

"I want to practice martial arts, boxing!" Qi Yuan's expression became serious. This was his main task now.

"Practicing martial arts..." Xiaomei was slightly stunned, as if she had thought of something. A complex expression flashed in her eyes. "Practicing martial arts has no future. Even if you become the best in Qin Yuan Country, at most, you'll just be an internet celebrity."

"Isn't it profitable for a mentally ill person like me to become an internet celebrity? Are you saying that practicing martial arts has no future compared to working in a factory?" Qi Yuan said in surprise.

Xiaomei couldn't find the words to respond.

She was looking at things from a higher perspective.

Indeed, for Qi Yuan, practicing martial arts was a way out.

"If you need money, I can lend you 100,000. Do you want it?" Xiaomei asked.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan felt disappointed.

He wanted to borrow money that he didn't have to repay.

Someone like Xiaomei clearly had to be repaid.

"I want to borrow, but can I borrow more?" Qi Yuan urgently needed money.

In addition to the materials needed for Martial Dao cultivation, he also needed to buy various materials for cultivating immortality.

So, he needed more money.

"Do you have 90 million?" Qi Yuan looked at Xiaomei with anticipation. She seemed capable.

So, borrow more when you borrow, what if it succeeds?

Xiao Mei couldn't speak, she looked at Qi Yuan and finally spoke: "At most three hundred thousand."

She calculated the price well.

Three hundred thousand is enough for Qi Yuan to play Martial Dao.

"Okay, three hundred thousand it is." Qi Yuan is easily satisfied.

As he spoke, he gave Xiao Mei his bank card number.

Xiao Mei squinted her eyes and looked at Qi Yuan: "First meeting, blind date, I'm willing to lend you three hundred thousand, aren't you afraid... of a conspiracy?"

Indeed, no matter who it was, today's events would not have happened.

"I have a mental illness certificate, I'm not afraid of conspiracies." Qi Yuan said naturally.

"I'm starting to suspect that you're really pretending." The woman in the tight-fitting clothes said.

"I was pretending from the beginning."

"Alright, take a look, I've already transferred the money to you, bye."

The woman swiftly got up, her black tight-fitting clothes tightly wrapped around her long legs, making them look more muscular.

"Wait, don't go, you haven't paid yet!" Qi Yuan stopped the woman in the tight-fitting clothes.

The woman paused, "I pay?"

"Have you ever seen a mentally ill person pay for a meal for a mentally ill person?"

The woman's face froze, she gritted her teeth and looked at Qi Yuan: "Fine, I'll pay!"

Qi Yuan lowered his head and continued to eat Qin Deji.

After the woman in the tight-fitting clothes paid, she left the shop and got into a black car parked on the road.

In the car, there were two people.

A male driver and a female with a large build.

Both of them were sitting in the front, while the woman in the tight-fitting clothes sat in the back.

"Captain, is the task done?" The woman with the large build spoke, her voice deep and strong.

"Mmm..." The woman in the tight-fitting clothes showed a thoughtful expression in her eyes, "Master's son has been seen... judging from his condition, his health is still good, it seems that the information we received before was wrong."

A few days ago, the woman in the tight-fitting clothes received news that Master's son was seriously ill, so she hurried back to prepare to meet Qi Yuan.

But after seeing him today, although Qi Yuan looked a bit weak, he could still eat, and her military testing equipment did not detect any major problems with his body.

So, the stone that was hanging in her heart finally fell.

"It's good that he's fine." The woman with the large build also squeezed out a smile on her face, "It's also a blessing that he can grow up safely."

"He wants to practice martial arts." At this moment, the woman in the tight-fitting clothes pondered, holding a small knife between her slender fingers, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Martial Dao?" The woman with the large build's pupils contracted, "Could it be... he knows about Master's death... and wants revenge?"

But... Martial Dao is not enough...

The woman in the tight-fitting clothes smiled charmingly, "You're thinking too much, I think he's just practicing Martial Dao to strengthen his body."

As for Master's matter, we'll handle it ourselves."

"You're right." The woman with the large build nodded, "Ah, I don't know what's been happening recently, the number of tasks seems to be increasing, as if something strange is happening."

"Yeah, it seems like there are more tasks related to exploring ancient tombs and ruins." The woman in the tight-fitting clothes frowned.

Such tasks used to be occasional, but now they are popping up like mushrooms after the rain.

"I always feel like something big is happening recently." The woman with the large build murmured.

The driver in front laughed, "Even if something big happens, can it fall on us small fries?"

...

Mingwu Martial Arts Hall.

Located in Tianshan Building, it has three floors, namely the second, third, and fourth floors.

The strength of Mingwu Martial Arts Hall is among the top eight in Tianyue City's martial arts halls.

Every year, many children come here to practice Martial Dao and strengthen their bodies.

At this moment, in Mingwu Martial Arts Hall, a group of children wearing training uniforms are practicing martial arts in the hall, punching and kicking, looking quite skilled.

Qi Yuan leaned on the railing, watching the performance below, "They're all just for show, I can easily take on ten of them, is there any real Martial Dao?"

The people from the martial arts hall next to him couldn't hold back anymore, a embarrassed smile appeared on their faces.

The group of children practicing below, the oldest is only eight or nine years old.

As an adult, you can take on ten of them, do you have the nerve to say that?

"To truly learn Martial Dao, the registration fee is a bit expensive, requiring 120,000. However, there will be additional expenses later..." said the person from the martial arts gym.

"Alright, sign me up quickly," Qi Yuan said.

He didn't bother looking at the moves of the children below; those Martial Dao moves were too basic. He wanted to see the Martial Dao of this world and how it differed from the martial arts of Ash Water World.

Soon, Qi Yuan followed the gym staff to the fourth floor.

"This is the office of the second senior brother. To learn formal Martial Dao, you need to pass the test here."

"Shouldn't I be able to learn just by paying?" Qi Yuan asked.

Doing business still required a test. What if he didn't pass the test?

"Learning true Martial Dao is definitely different," the staff member's gaze towards Qi Yuan changed as well.

As the saying goes, the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts. Those who can truly learn martial arts must have some wealth at home. Otherwise, it's impossible to learn.

Soon, the staff member knocked on the door.

Inside the room, a deep voice sounded.

"Come in!"

Qi Yuan followed the staff member into the spacious training room.

The staff member quickly said, "Second senior brother, this person is here to learn true Martial Dao."

Qi Yuan also looked at the man in front of him, his gaze slightly focused.

The man had a shaved head and a square face, with a tall and powerful figure.

Qi Yuan noticed that his nostrils were a bit large, especially the left one, which was much larger than the right one.

His gaze suddenly fell on one of the man's fingers.

"Are you here to learn Martial Dao?" the second senior brother looked at Qi Yuan with a strange gaze, "Your body seems to have some issues."

"Just some minor ailments, nothing to worry about. How do we test?" Qi Yuan was curious.

He was thinking, what if it's a bone examination? How should he refuse?

This second senior brother in front of him seemed to frequently pick his nose.

"It's very simple."

The second senior brother opened a drawer and took out a wooden token.

The token was pitch black and had a sense of age to it.

"Drop a drop of blood on it." The second senior brother dripped blood on the token in front of Qi Yuan.

"Drop blood? Is this like cultivating immortality?" Qi Yuan looked puzzled.

After all, it was the first time he had seen blood being dropped for martial arts cultivation.

Qi Yuan bit his finger, and instantly, a drop of blood fell onto the wooden token.

Qi Yuan looked at the token, wanting to see what would happen.

After a few moments, white lines appeared on the pitch-black token, spreading continuously.

"Three lines, hmm... it meets the basic requirements, below average aptitude, but you can still practice Martial Dao," the second senior brother gave his judgment.

As he spoke, he put the wooden token back into his drawer.

Qi Yuan lightly tapped his finger, and the blood that had fallen onto the token silently returned to his body.

This scene was not seen by anyone else.

"These lines represent aptitude?" Qi Yuan asked.

It seemed that the Martial Dao in this world was different from that of Ash Water World.

"Yes!" The second senior brother nodded vigorously. The strength of Martial Dao largely depended on aptitude.

"Generally speaking, people from our Qin Yuan country have a certain aptitude for Martial Dao. The higher the aptitude, the more suitable for practicing Martial Dao, and the greater achievements can be obtained. When I was tested, I had five lines!"

The second senior brother straightened his shoulders as he spoke.

Although Martial Dao was not worth mentioning in the outside world, as it might take decades to achieve what others could do with a single injection, there were still levels of superiority and inferiority among internal Martial Artists.

"How many lines can one have at most?"

My master once said that there can be up to twelve meridians.

For those geniuses, perhaps they can leap ten meters after just a few months of cultivation!" Second senior brother said, his face filled with longing.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was quite speechless.

Now, he can already leap ten meters.

It seems that the Martial Dao experts in this world are still somewhat weak.

"How strong is the champion of the Martial Dao Tournament? How many meters in one step?" Qi Yuan asked.

This was what he was most concerned about.

After all, he was going to become the man who dominates the Martial Dao.

"Isn't it several meters in one step?" Second senior brother looked at Qi Yuan. "Don't aim too high. Not just anyone can participate in the Martial Dao Tournament!"

He looked at Qi Yuan as if he could see through his thoughts.

He had seen many washed-up celebrities come to learn martial arts and participate in the Martial Dao Tournament, just to relive their stardom.

Qi Yuan had a high level of attractiveness, so even if he didn't achieve a good ranking in the Martial Dao Tournament, he could still show his face.

Perhaps he could become an internet celebrity.

Upon hearing second senior brother's words, Qi Yuan was quite speechless.

Leap several meters in one step?

The champion of the Martial Dao Tournament?

They were too weak, weren't they?

The difficulty of this mission was too low.

"Second senior brother, can I consider myself registered now? I'll transfer the money to you immediately. When can I start learning martial arts?" Qi Yuan asked.

He wanted to see the difference between the Martial Dao in this world and the Martial Dao in the Ash Water World.

"Well, I'll give you a martial art technique." Second senior brother took out a thin booklet from the drawer.

On the booklet were written the ancient and simple words "Mingwu Resonance Fist."

"This martial art technique is the pinnacle skill of our Mingwu Martial Arts Hall, with a total of twelve levels.

These are the first three levels, I'll give them to you.

Remember, this martial art technique must not be leaked to the outside world, understood?" Second senior brother warned.

"What about the subsequent levels?" Qi Yuan asked.

"The subsequent levels... require additional payment.

Young man, these first three levels are enough for you to cultivate for a year." Second senior brother answered truthfully.

When he cultivated this martial art technique, it took him seven months to reach the third level.

Qi Yuan had lower talent than him, so it was normal for him to take a year.

"How much money?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Well... a total of three million?" Second senior brother answered truthfully. "Come, let me explain to you our pinnacle skill, the Mingwu Resonance Fist. It emphasizes the unity of the five viscera and six bowels with the muscles, achieving a resonance and then unleashing powerful strength...

Don't be fooled by my grandiose words, it's actually quite difficult to execute.

After all, how many ordinary people can control the vibrations of their own viscera and bowels?

This requires a long time of experience... and..."

"Is that so?"

However, at this moment, Qi Yuan finished flipping through the three levels of the technique.

He threw out a punch, forcefully thrusting it forward.

At that moment, his entire body's viscera and bowels unexpectedly unified.

The blood vessels throughout his body seemed to gather on his fist.

Boom!

A powerful punch was unleashed, as if thunder was released.

Second senior brother was stunned, his left nostril twitched upwards.

"Are you... master's illegitimate child?"

PS: I'm still feeling unwell, coughing and vomiting. I apologize for the recent lack of updates, I will make up for it later!
