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

Chapter 294: Innate Martial Skills

Uqi felt an inexplicable fear in her heart.

As if being stared at by a terrifying creature.

Goosebumps appeared on her delicate, snow-white skin.

She looked at Qi Yuan, her breathing slightly quickened. "What's so special about me?"

"Your... blood." Qi Yuan looked at Uqi, her skin snow-white, even the veins visible, blood flowing slowly in her veins.

Uqi was confused.

"My blood?"

She didn't understand, even considering Qi Yuan to have some strange fetish as an aristocrat.

"For me, the most special thing about you is your blood." Qi Yuan shrugged. "How about you give me some blood, and I'll fulfill a few of your small wishes."

By the way... menstrual blood doesn't count!"

At the end of his sentence, Qi Yuan added.

If Uqi took a shortcut and brought menstrual blood, that would be too much.

Qi Yuan never underestimated the "inferior nature" of humans.

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Uqi still felt that she was generous and could accept anything, and couldn't help but blush to the roots of her ears.

She lowered her head, unable to look directly into Qi Yuan's eyes.

Qi Yuan's words had a great impact on her.

Now she was in a mess in her mind, imagining all sorts of things.

Could it be... Mr. Qi is a monster who loves to drink the blood of young girls?

"How are you considering it?" Qi Yuan smiled lightly.

Uqi's heart was in turmoil, and in the end, she gritted her teeth and leaned her head towards Qi Yuan. She removed some of her clothes, revealing her snow-white neck.

"Mr. Qi... take my blood!"

She resigned herself, as if accepting her fate.

The path she chose, she had to walk on her own.

Compared to losing some blood, she wanted to become someone extraordinary.

The opportunity was right in front of her, and she didn't want to let it slip away.

"Although I am an omnivore, I don't drink human blood. Drinking human blood... is illegal.

Pull your neck back, and when I need blood in the future, I'll come find you."

His current strength was still too weak.

Although he found Uqi's blood to be somewhat special, even if she gave it to him now, he would need to expend a lot of energy to study why it was special.

For him right now, it wasn't a crucial matter.

So, he just left a foreshadowing.

Now, the most crucial thing for him was to improve his strength.

With stronger power, he would be able to see why it was special at a glance.

When Uqi heard Qi Yuan's words, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"My blood will always be reserved for you, sir!" Uqi said seriously.

"I live in Jun'an District, you can drive."

"Jun'an District?"

She set Jun'an District as the destination.

When she saw the general location of Jun'an District, Uqi's heart skipped a beat.

In high school, she had heard classmates say that Qi Yuan was the orphan of a martyr.

But after seeing Qi Yuan on the cruise ship, she guessed that he deliberately hid his identity to go to school.

But now, hearing that Qi Yuan lived in Jun'an District, she thought of many things.

Such a big figure, even a hereditary viscount would have to please, how could he live in such a relatively ordinary neighborhood?

Could it be that there was another hidden story?

"Yes, Jun'an District." Qi Yuan closed his eyes slightly, without further ado.

Uqi was puzzled and couldn't understand why Qi Yuan would live in such a place.

But even if she didn't understand, she didn't dare to ask.

After all, if she accidentally offended Qi Yuan, she didn't know how she would die.

In Qin Yuan Country, it really wasn't a big deal for an aristocrat to kill a celebrity.

Qin Yuan Country, this ancient empire, had a clear distinction between the upper and lower classes.

Wu Qi was feeling restless as she drove her car towards the Jun'an neighborhood.

As the night approached and various colorful lights illuminated the modern city, the car finally arrived.

Unlike the bright lights on the road, the streetlights near the Jun'an neighborhood were not fully lit.

It felt like two different places compared to where Wu Qi lived.

Looking at this ordinary neighborhood, her confusion grew even stronger. This neighborhood had nothing to do with the wealthy area.

It couldn't even compare to her own neighborhood.

At this moment, Qi Yuan stretched and looked at the familiar neighborhood, revealing a smile.

"We're here."

Qi Yuan got out of the car, and Wu Qi quickly followed suit. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"You drove me here, thank you," Qi Yuan said politely.

"It's no trouble," Wu Qi quickly replied.

"Well... here's 27 yuan for the fare."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he took out twenty-seven yuan from his pocket, some in coins and some in bills.

Wu Qi was a bit confused.

Fare?

"Come on, I'm not taking a free ride," Qi Yuan always followed the rules. "And don't go online and accuse me of being stingy. When I go to the martial arts gym, the fare is 26 yuan, and I even give an extra yuan!"

Qi Yuan handed the money to Wu Qi.

He gave her cash instead of transferring it.

After all, he was afraid the police might misunderstand.

Wu Qi received the money with a puzzled expression. Qi Yuan's actions were incomprehensible to her.

Was this the quirk of a big shot?

"I don't have a cat that can cook, so I won't invite you in. Goodbye."

Qi Yuan was very polite and left directly, leaving Wu Qi in the wind, feeling disheveled.

She looked at Qi Yuan, her emotions complex.

"Does he really live here?"

She felt anxious.

After all, this morning her agent told her that Qi Yuan might just be... an ordinary person who helped the Marquis of Revelry and was valued by him.

...

"Mr. Qi Yuan, Zhao Shiqi... asked me... to apologize to you."

On the phone, the voice of the Marquis of Revelry sounded nervous and joyful.

Yesterday, he and Qi Yuan were attacked by a sniper.

When he learned that it was the work of the Black Crystal Count, the only thing he thought about was taking Qi Yuan away and avoiding this turmoil.

But who knew... the Black Crystal Count, Zhao Renji, died suddenly.

If it wasn't for Qi Yuan, the Marquis of Revelry wouldn't believe it.

This also made the Marquis of Revelry understand that Qi Yuan was truly a cultivator who could kill without a trace.

No matter how many guards the Black Crystal Count had, Qi Yuan still killed him.

"Who is he? I've never heard of him," Qi Yuan had never heard of this name.

"He is Zhao Renji's younger brother and the current... head of the Zhao Family."

After Zhao Renji's death, power was up for grabs.

Zhao Shiqi was not useless. Although he had his own beliefs and principles, he naturally wouldn't let the power of the Zhao Family slip into someone else's hands.

In just one day, he completely took control of the Zhao Family.

"It's him. I don't want to see him. I've already killed the people I wanted to kill. Why should I see him?"

Does he want to avenge his brother?

Tell him I have a mental illness certificate, I'm not afraid of him," Qi Yuan replied casually.

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Revelry felt both delighted and shocked.

Indeed, Zhao Renji was killed by Qi Yuan.

Fortunately, he didn't hesitate to give up that one billion yuan, playing dirty tricks.

Qi Yuan could easily kill Zhao Renji, so killing him would be a piece of cake.

"I will relay Mr. Qi Yuan's words to Zhao Shiqi truthfully. By the way, Mr. Qi Yuan, I'm afraid Zhao Shiqi doesn't know... that Zhao Renji was killed by you. Should I keep it a secret?" There was a pause in the phone call.

"Why would I hide it if I'm not pretending to be weak? Besides, I have a mental illness certificate, what is there to be afraid of?"

Qi Yuan replied casually.

Without parents or children, and with a mental illness certificate, Qi Yuan is already an invincible figure in modern times.

"Okay." Kuanhuan agreed on the phone.

Qi Yuan hung up the phone and continued to cultivate immortality.

In the following days, Qi Yuan practiced diligently.

During the day, he went to the martial arts gym to practice, and at night, he returned home to refine medicinal herbs for cultivation.

Life was peaceful and calm, like a still ancient well.

If there was any difference, it was that she now had a dedicated driver named Wu Qi.

During one of the rides home with Wu Qi, others at the martial arts gym noticed this.

Wu Qi was a somewhat famous celebrity in Tianyue City.

This matter caused quite a stir in the martial arts gym.

Everyone said that Qi Yuan was dating the famous celebrity Wu Qi.

Wang Shiqiao looked at Qi Yuan with a different gaze and directly said with a strange expression, "No wonder, so you're dating a big celebrity."

In the circle of the Mingwu Martial Arts Gym, apart from figures like Xu Tiejun, the rest of the second-generation rich did not dare to underestimate Wu Qi.

Wu Qi picking up and dropping off Qi Yuan every day surprised everyone at the martial arts gym.

Especially Wang Shiqiao, who had already learned from her best friend Xing Yu that Qi Yuan came from an ordinary background.

Xing Yu's gaze towards Qi Yuan also changed.

She felt that she and Qi Yuan were kindred spirits.

She also inexplicably developed a slight fondness for Qi Yuan.

In the evening, Qi Yuan got out of Wu Qi's car again and entered the residential area.

The lights in the residential area were dim, with a warm orange glow.

In an open space, a burly man was practicing boxing.

His punches were powerful and extremely fierce.

Qi Yuan even felt that compared to this burly man, Xu Tiejun, the number one person in the Mingwu Martial Arts Gym, was far behind.

"Yang Ge, still practicing martial arts?" Qi Yuan walked straight over.

The burly man's name was Yang Shan.

He had moved in next door to Qi Yuan a week ago and could be considered her neighbor.

Yang Shan was in his thirties, with a burly figure and a military aura about him.

However, he had suffered some injuries and retired early.

Because both he and Qi Yuan practiced martial arts, they became acquainted.

After all, Yang Shan had gone further on the path of Martial Dao.

Occasionally, Qi Yuan would seek advice from Yang Shan on some issues.

"You're back? Hmm, another breakthrough?" Yang Shan glanced at Qi Yuan, his eyes flashing with a sharpness.

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded.

"Your talent... is terrifying." Yang Shan's expression was inexplicable.

"Just average, third in the world." Qi Yuan was not modest at all.

"You must be wondering how to break through and become a Martial Artist, right?" Yang Shan spoke up at this moment, his face becoming serious.

"Yes."

At present, Qi Yuan had already cultivated the "Mingwu Resonance Fist" to the sixth level.

Breaking through to the seventh level was just a step away.

Once she broke through to the seventh level, she would be able to obtain the Martial Artist certificate.

Regarding the breakthrough to the seventh level, Qi Yuan still had many doubts in her heart.

"To become a Martial Artist, you need to develop your own innate martial skill!

Innate martial skills go beyond the limits of the human body and can unleash terrifying energy.

It is rumored that in ancient times, when Martial Artists reached a certain level of strength, they could even develop their own innate killing moves, capable of cutting rivers with a single finger!

Of course, experts who have studied and discussed this say that it is nonsense, as innate martial skills cannot advance to become innate killing moves."

As Yang Shan spoke, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He was not only a retired soldier but also a peak Martial Artist.

On the path of Martial Artist, he had already reached his limit.

But even so, he was no match for those who had taken high-level gene potions.

After being injured, he chose to return to his hometown, which was the Jun'an residential area.

"Now, talking about innate killing moves with you is like talking about myths, it's getting off-topic.

Let's continue talking about innate martial skills."

This is the core of every Martial Artist, and the innate martial skills of every Martial Artist are different.

For example, the champion of the previous Martial Dao Grand Tournament had the innate martial skill of Illusionary Sound Fist.

With one punch, countless illusions can be seen, making it irresistible.

It can be said that this kind of innate martial skill is already close to the Dao, surpassing the limits of the human body.

After all... if we carbon-based life forms don't take High Level gene potions, we are actually quite weak."

Yang Shan said, his eyes revealing a hint of reminiscence.

When he first displayed his innate martial skill, he felt for the first time that Martial Dao was so fascinating.

He even felt that he... had embarked on the path of Transcendence.

After all, innate martial skills are not ordinary martial arts or any technique, but... Transcendent.

Yes, Yang Shan defined innate martial skills in this way.

Although this Transcendence is weak, it is truly Transcendent.

Unfortunately, after more than ten years of wasted effort, he has already reached the pinnacle of Martial Dao, but still cannot break through the limits.

Especially after working hard to practice martial arts for half a lifetime, someone else easily defeats you with a single injection of a High Level gene potion.

Even innate martial skills have no effect in front of those people.

Taking gene potions can even awaken genetic martial skills, completely overshadowing innate martial skills.

Yang Shan felt disheartened, feeling that the path of Martial Dao... had come to an end.

For so many years, even though there have been researchers studying Martial Dao, and even some big shots who have spent a lot of money to establish research laboratories to study methods to break through the limits of Martial Dao, they have never succeeded.

Martial Dao has even become a folk culture that needs to be protected, as well as a competitive sport.

"Transcendent?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.

To be honest, he has never seen an innate martial skill before.

In the Mingwu Martial Arts Hall, there are only a few Martial Artists, and he is not familiar with them, nor has anyone casually displayed their innate martial skills.

"To say it is Transcendent is actually just embellishing Martial Dao," Yang Shan self-deprecatingly smiled.

If Martial Dao were truly Transcendent, how could taking gene potions enable the display of genetic potions that are similar to innate martial skills?

"Saying it a hundred times is not as good as seeing it for yourself.

Let me personally show you my innate martial skill.

Honglei Palm!"

With Yang Shan's voice, his gaze became sharp at this moment.

A powerful momentum filled the air, and Qi Yuan sensed a power beyond ordinary people.

"Stronger than the Blue Star people... but only slightly," Qi Yuan made a judgment.

Of course, it is still limited, unable to withstand blades and swords.

"Hah!"

Yang Shan shouted loudly.

A powerful palm was pushed forward, and the air seemed to tremble, as a dull thunderous sound seemed to echo in the air.

Honglei Palm, as its name suggests.

Such a palm is enough to astonish ordinary people, and even easily shatter bricks with a single punch.

It can even kill a person with one palm strike.

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, and in that palm strike just now, he saw something different.

"It's a pity. If you lived on the Blue Star and performed palm strikes on video platforms every day, you would definitely become a generation's qigong master, a popular live streamer with millions of fans.

But unfortunately, this is the Arch Star."

Qi Yuan commented.

Indeed, Yang Shan's punch does have some Transcendent elements.

On the Blue Star, this level of power can deceive many people into thinking he has real kung fu.

But this is the Arch Star, where many people take gene potions.

There are even people who can bend steel bars with their hands.

Peak Martial Artists are nothing at all.

"What is the Blue Star?" Yang Shan asked in confusion.

"A blue planet, um, it's my hometown, actually... I'm an alien."

"...Is your mental illness certificate real?" Yang Shan was surprised.

From the beginning, he was warned that this neighbor had a mental illness certificate.

As a result, Qi Yuan said he was pretending because having a mental illness certificate made things easier and came with subsidies.

He believed it.

Now it seems that Qi Yuan's mental illness is not fake.

PS: Starting tomorrow, regular updates will resume, and there will be more updates in the future.
