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

Chapter 51: Very Empty Qi Yuan

Qi Yuan watched as Duke Yu and Kong Qi left.

Jin Li felt exhausted.

She was still not suitable to be the Empress.

If... when Nan Qian is done, she wants to leave here and go under the ancient Qichi tree... to see Qi Yuan.

If it's possible...

"Your Majesty." Qin Yi lowered her voice and said to Jin Li's ear, "Building the sacrificial altar, is that what he meant?"

Jin Li hesitated at the words. "Qin Yi, you just need to do as I said."

Qin Yi stopped speaking, but a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

Because she saw the sacrificial altar on the blueprint.

And Duke Yu saw it too.

Qin Yi stepped back and left the palace.

She saw Duke Yu standing alone not far away, leaning on the gray-white railing.

Duke Yu saw Qin Yi and said loudly, "Madam Qin, you should recognize what is drawn on that blueprint."

"Yes." Qin Yi nodded. "This is the sacrificial altar. It is said that in ancient times when the Moon Continent was unified, there was a divine court that shook the world. Building the sacrificial altar could summon the divine army. Unfortunately... these things have become legends now. The divine court has long been overturned, where is there still a divine army? Twenty years ago, when Qingguo's Jingzhou was besieged by Demonic Beasts, the governor of Jingzhou obtained the blueprint of the sacrificial altar and built it... What was the result?"

Duke Yu could only sigh. "I don't know where Your Majesty got the blueprint from. But... hoping for the sacrificial altar is just as hopeless as hoping for Your Majesty to leave the imperial city unharmed."

Clearly, Duke Yu also didn't believe that this sacrificial altar could really summon the divine army.

Qin Yi's face turned gloomy. "Do what you can and leave the rest to fate!"

...

"Building the sacrificial altar? What a joke!"

When Sima Ting heard this news, a mocking expression appeared in his eyes.

The Emperor of the Monster Race, holding a blueprint in his hand, smiled, "Using the sword of the ancient divine court to slay the modern monsters, this Empress Jin Li is really cute."

As a member of the Monster Race, he was most familiar with the divine court.

In the past, the Monster Race and the Human Race were in conflict. Among the Human Race, there appeared a supreme powerhouse who was hailed as the Heavenly God. The Heavenly God established the divine court and commanded the four divisions. Building the sacrificial altar could summon the divine army.

Back then, the divine court drove the Monster Race to the icy wasteland.

All of this was recorded in the ancestral land of the Monster Race.

This Emperor of the Monster Race knew it best.

"Let her build it, but it's just a desperate struggle." The Emperor of the Heavenly Fate Gate also didn't care.

The Emperor of the Monster Race squinted his eyes. "The most important thing now is to forge the Supreme Imperial Staff. Everything else can wait."

"Oh, don't forget to keep an eye on Empress Jin Li for Top Heaven. Don't let her escape!" said the thin Emperor of the Heavenly Fate Gate.

Sima Ting quickly said, "Rest assured, the palace has been surrounded. Empress Jin Li won't be able to escape even if she sprouts wings!"

"Rest assured, we have seven Emperors of the Monster Race outside the city. She won't be able to escape." The Emperor of the Monster Race was confident of victory.

This time, the Monster Race brought a lot of power, all for the purpose of refining that Supreme Imperial Artifact.

Seven Emperors, plus some kings, were enough to subdue the entire imperial city.

Unfortunately, those civil and military officials who followed Sima Ting in the city were still celebrating, thinking they could rightfully seize the throne.

Little did they know that they, like the people in the city, were just fish waiting to be slaughtered by the Monster Race.

...

"So tired."

Qi Yuan woke up feeling exhausted.

Although he had the upper hand in the battle against the ugly-clothed strange emperor and didn't even get injured, the mental strain was quite significant.

He waved his hand and a water mirror appeared in front of him.

Qi Yuan looked at his reflection in the mirror, his face somewhat pale, as if he had expended a lot of energy.

"It feels like my body has been emptied."

"I really want to drink a bottle of Kidney Treasure!"

"At the very least, how about some Liuwei Dihuang Pills?"

The consumption in the game is significant, but for Qi Yuan, the improvement is also extremely significant.

Especially after reaching level ninety in the game, the feedback to the real world made him feel that his cultivation had advanced significantly.

Previously, without using a knife, he relied on the combat skills and various abilities honed in the game, which were enough to possess the strength of the Foundation Building level.

Now, with the improvement in his cultivation, Qi Yuan can suppress ordinary Foundation Building cultivators solely based on his own mana cultivation, without using any skills or abilities.

This kind of improvement is extremely high.

"Unfortunately, the consumption of mental energy is still too great. Is it because my soul is too weak?" Qi Yuan pondered.

Unfortunately, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage cannot sense their own souls at all; they can only sense them after reaching the Foundation Building Stage.

"After reaching the Foundation Building Stage, I must cultivate some secret techniques to strengthen my soul. This way, I can spend more time in the game as well."

Thinking like this, Qi Yuan took out the books from his storage bag to read.

He himself is still very diligent.

However, as soon as he looked at the books in his storage bag, he felt a headache.

Obviously, this was the aftermath of staying up late playing games.

"I can't read books anymore. I need to take good care of myself and get a massage." Qi Yuan felt that he really needed to go out and relax.

Otherwise, it would be too ridiculous to die suddenly.

Qi Yuan leisurely left the thatched hut and saw Jiang Lingsu flipping through something.

Jiang Lingsu was wearing a long ice-blue dress.

Jiang Lingsu glanced at Qi Yuan and furrowed her brows. "Senior Brother, are you having problems with your cultivation?"

"No, it's just that I stayed up late playing games and my body can't handle it. I'm going out to get a massage. Sister, do you want to give me a massage? I'll pay you three spirit stones."

"...Get lost!" Seeing Qi Yuan's smooth talk, Jiang Lingsu's concern was extinguished.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan smiled, turned around, and leisurely left the mountain.

Fortunately, his junior sister didn't agree, otherwise, he would have wasted three spirit stones.

Those who give proper massages at the foot of the mountain don't even need spirit stones.

If it weren't for the fact that his junior sister was a wealthy woman, he wouldn't have reluctantly raised the price to three spirit stones.

Qi Yuan walked on his own, and Jiang Lingsu looked at his back, feeling somewhat remorseful. Was her tone just now too harsh?

Qi Yuan went down the mountain for a proper massage.

He spent another spirit stone to buy a delicious and nourishing spiritual soup.

After relaxing for a day, Qi Yuan felt his body was slightly better.

"My soul is still too weak. Unfortunately, techniques related to the soul, and even Spirit Medicine, are extremely rare."

In the piles of books in the Black Mountain Sect's library, Qi Yuan temporarily did not find any secret techniques related to the soul.

As for Spirit Medicine, there was none at all.

Qi Yuan knew that any Spirit Medicine or treasure related to the soul was extremely precious.

It was rumored that when a Nascent Soul cultivator stepped into the Violet Palace realm, there were high requirements for the soul.

Therefore, almost all Spirit Medicine or secret techniques related to the soul were monopolized by those Nascent Soul old monsters.

Not to mention that Qi Yuan was only in the Qi Refining Stage, even if he reached the Foundation Building Stage or the Yuan Dan Stage, it would be difficult to obtain Spirit Medicine that could enhance the soul.

"But it's not a big problem. I'll consider increasing my soul after successfully reaching the Foundation Building Stage."

Qi Yuan's eyes could see hidden information.

This was the ability he gained after entering the game and stepping into the Qi Refining Stage.

Who knows what abilities he might gain when he steps into the Foundation Building Stage.

Qi Yuan was not in a hurry.

He returned to Seven Colour Peak, ready to continue resting and enter the game again when he recovered.

When passing by the big tree halfway up the mountain, Qi Yuan stopped again.

He looked down at his feet.

[This is a somewhat extraordinary grass that has sensed the aura of the moon.]

Qi Yuan looked up at the sky. "The aura of the moon, what is that?"

He lowered his head and looked at the grass, saying, "If I see you tomorrow, will you be able to sense the aura of Qi Yuan?"

He wanted to find someone without diabetes to wake up this extraordinary grass.

Then he would ask it how it transformed from ordinary to extraordinary.

He also wanted to become extraordinary.
