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

Chapter 33: Is this it?

Qi Yuan looked at the books seriously.

The worries on his brow gradually eased.

"So, this is the Black Mountain Sect?"

Originally, the Black Mountain Sect was quite prominent in the Great Shang Kingdom.

Qi Yuan thought that the Black Mountain Sect's strength was absolutely formidable.

But now, it seems that the Black Mountain Sect's true power can only be considered as part of the third tier in the Great Shang Kingdom.

The first tier consists of the three major cultivation sects.

The second tier includes those who have at least one Divine Infant-level combat power or means to withstand attacks from Divine Infant experts.

However, the Black Mountain Sect lacks this. Within the Black Mountain Sect, there are only seven Perfected Beings at the Nascent Soul stage.

Among these seven Perfected Beings, the strongest is the Sect Master, who is only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

The rest are all at the early Nascent Soul stage.

With this level of strength, they can only be considered part of the third tier in the Great Shang Kingdom.

"So, without the Black Chicken Old Demon, is this all the Black Mountain Sect has?"

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more settled he felt.

His knife had already awakened its spiritual consciousness. If it were at the late Nascent Soul stage and had fully cultivated its protective pill light, he would still be somewhat wary.

But with just a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator and a few early Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and with their Gold Cores being of low grade, he couldn't help but be excited.

"This is their strength? They actually dare to come and cause trouble for me. They have already chosen the path of death!"

"Strike first and gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer!"

"They definitely didn't expect that I would cross through time and space, killing them in advance and snuffing out this cause and effect in its cradle."

Qi Yuan contemplated his plan.

The Black Chicken Old Demon is not within the Black Mountain Sect. As long as he is fast enough, he can completely seek revenge and then escape.

"Unfortunately, I am still too weak. Otherwise, would I still need to avoid the Black Chicken Old Demon? I would just directly chop off his dog head!"

"Black Chicken Old Demon, I will remember you!"

"If I could truly travel through time and space, I would definitely slaughter it and drink chicken soup when it was still young, or dance on its grave after its lifespan ends."

Qi Yuan couldn't help but think of a female hero in the Go world on Blue Star.

That female hero was a powerful individual who understood the rules of time.

She defeated the number one female Go player in the present and the number one female Go player in the past.

She was hailed as "Fist Strikes the Southern Mountain Nursing Home" and "Kick Kicks the Northern Sea Kindergarten."

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, what are you doing here?" Just then, a familiar voice came.

Zheng Jianghe was staring at Qi Yuan with a strange expression.

When he arrived at the third floor of the book depository, Zheng Jianghe had already noticed Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan's strange appearance and suspicious behavior didn't seem like that of a good person.

Hiding in a corner and trying not to attract attention was quite suspicious.

Zheng Jianghe also observed for a while before confirming that this was indeed Qi Yuan, the senior brother from Seven Colour Peak.

When Qi Yuan saw Zheng Jianghe, he was also startled.

It was like a couple doing something guilty in a library and being caught.

But he quickly calmed down.

"Um, just came to look at some materials."

"Senior Brother is also looking at information about the Black Mountain Sect? After you finish reading, can you give me the materials? I need to take them out of the book depository and hand them over to a few elders." Zheng Jianghe said seriously.

"No problem." Qi Yuan put down the books. He thought of something and suddenly asked, "Is what's written here true? The Black Chicken Old Demon has always been absent from the Black Mountain Sect?"

Zheng Jianghe felt that Qi Yuan's question was strange but answered truthfully, "The Black Chicken Old Demon's Daoist temple is in the Ten Thousand Demon Range, which is thousands of miles away from the Black Mountain Sect. It is rumored that the Black Chicken Old Demon is currently seeking a breakthrough to the late Divine Infant stage, so he should be in seclusion for a short period of time."

"That's good." Qi Yuan felt relieved.

Zheng Jianghe, on the other hand, looked strange. "May I ask why Senior Brother is investigating the Black Mountain Sect?"

Qi Yuan looked at Zheng Jianghe and took out a kitchen knife. "Do you know what this is?"

"Senior Brother's... pet."

This knife, Zheng Jianghe's reputation precedes him.

He often sees Qi Yuan walking a kitchen knife.

"I heard that the Black Mountain Sect's Chu Tianxiong, as well as the Chicken Worshiping Ancestor, died under the blade of a mysterious powerhouse. And I also use a blade. I'm afraid that the Black Mountain Sect will misunderstand and think that I am that mysterious powerhouse. So, I have to be prepared early and see what strong individuals the Black Mountain Sect has," Qi Yuan said seriously.

Zheng Jianghe: "..."

He coughed and finally said, "Senior Brother really... thinks ahead."

How could the people of the Black Mountain Sect suspect you?

Zheng Jianghe felt it was absurd.

But thinking about Qi Yuan's usual way of thinking, he could understand.

After all, the person who dared to call the wife of the Seven Colour Peak's Peak Master to her face was Qi Yuan alone, not just in the Divine Light Sect, but in the entire Great Shang.

Zheng Jianghe left with the book.

Qi Yuan tilted his head and pondered, "It seems like I need to find an excuse to leave the sect."

The Black Mountain Sect is quite far from the Divine Light Sect, not like Rongcheng where you can come and go in a few hours.

He needs to report his departure.

After all, he is a senior disciple, not an ordinary disciple.

...

Dong Xian walked quickly in the Divine Light Sect, holding a pile of bamboo slips.

Before coming to the Divine Light Sect, he had no cultivation and voluntarily broke off his engagement with his fiancée.

It was because of this series of actions that he avoided the vortex of power struggles and came to the Divine Light Sect.

Just a few days ago, the remnant soul in his body began to awaken.

The remnant soul in his body was that of a powerful refiner who was betrayed by someone and only left behind a trace of remnant soul, which entered his body.

During this time, the remnant soul had been guiding his cultivation and teaching him the secrets of refining.

Yesterday, under the guidance of the remnant soul, he even picked up some precious refining materials in the market.

"Old Master, if the Black Chicken Demon steps into the Late Stage of Divine Infant, will the entire Great Shang fall into chaos?" Dong Xian communicated with the remnant soul, Old Master, through the bamboo slips.

Old Master laughed and said, "You just reached the Qi Refining stage, why are you thinking about so much? Are you still concerned about your own power?"

Dong Xian fell silent for a while before replying, "If I can... better help you regain your strength."

"If you can seize power, then everything will be fine. But your foundation is too weak, and your clan's strength is also lacking. Just focus on cultivating steadily. With my refining techniques, if nothing unexpected happens, it won't take you hundreds of years to reach the Divine Infant stage. Strength is the foundation of everything," Old Master advised earnestly.

Dong Xian's identity is special. In fact, he is an unfavored prince of the Great Shang Kingdom.

Now, the Emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom is old and senile, with not much time left.

And the various princes are ambitious, vying for power and coveting the position of the Supreme of the Nine Five.

Among the many princes, Dong Xian has the worst background and foundation.

That's why he voluntarily broke off his engagement some time ago, retreated bravely, and came to the Divine Light Sect to avoid that place of trouble.

"Hmm." Suddenly, Old Master exclaimed in surprise, "Who is that person?"

Dong Xian quickly looked over and saw a man dressed strangely walking on the main road.

However, he still recognized that person.

"Senior Brother of the Seven Colour Peak, Qi Yuan." Dong Xian didn't know why Old Master, the Dao Weapon, would pay attention to that person.

"Do you see the kitchen knife at his waist? That must be a good thing. Unfortunately, my divine sense cannot be released, otherwise I would definitely be able to discover what is special about that kitchen knife. Hurry, buy that kitchen knife!" Old Master's voice was urgent.

Dong Xian was stunned.

If it was just an ordinary kitchen knife and Qi Yuan was just an ordinary disciple of the Divine Light Sect, he might have a chance to buy it.

But... it wasn't.

Following Old Master's instructions, he reluctantly approached.
