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

Chapter 83: Strengthening the Divine Soul, Hearing the Sound in the Game Again

"Are you the prince?"

Qi Yuan was a little stunned.

This person really fits the protagonist template.

Not only does he have a remnant soul inside him, but he is also a prince with a broken engagement to his fiancée.

"In the Dragon Seizing Competition, the Sect Master promised me that I could choose two Foundation Building cultivators from the sect to help me.

The first one I chose is Senior Brother Kang Fulu.

The second one, I would like to ask Senior Brother Qi Yuan to help me participate in the Dragon Seizing Competition.

If Senior Brother Qi Yuan assists me, I will definitely give generous rewards.

Regardless of the outcome, I will give three Jade-level techniques and three Foundation Building Law Treasures as gifts.

If we succeed, I will open the treasure vault of the imperial palace and let Senior Brother choose."

Dong Xian said sincerely.

This is already the most precious thing he can offer at the moment.

It is also his all.

After listening, Qi Yuan's interest waned. "The Dragon Seizing Competition is in the Great Shang Kingdom, too far away. I don't want to go. I prefer to stay at home."

When he went to destroy the Black Mountain Sect, Qi Yuan returned home overnight.

He doesn't like running around outside, especially living outside.

Dong Xian was taken aback by his refusal. Isn't this reason too unreliable?

"Since there's nothing else, I'll go back to cultivate." Dong Xian, as a protagonist template character, shouldn't get too close.

In case he becomes the protagonist's helper, he might be killed by the plot one day, triggering the protagonist's explosive power.

Qi Yuan is very familiar with this kind of plot.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, I am willing to offer better conditions. If Senior Brother is not satisfied, we can discuss further." Dong Xian quickly said.

"It's too far, I don't want to go." Qi Yuan decisively refused and returned to his own room to continue cultivating.

Outside the wooden house, Dong Xian's face showed disappointment.

"Qi Lao, are my conditions not enough?" Dong Xian felt very lost.

"Perhaps it has nothing to do with your conditions. What Qi Yuan said just now may be true. He really doesn't want to travel far." Qi Lao said helplessly, "It's normal for some geniuses to have quirks, especially cultivators from the Chizi lineage."

"Ah." Dong Xian clenched his fist, feeling very unwilling.

This time, he was prepared to participate in the Dragon Seizing Competition and informed his mother concubine of this news.

His mother concubine came from a small family, with only one Foundation Building cultivator in the family.

That Foundation Building cultivator is his uncle.

Without saying a word, his uncle directly gave him the only two Foundation Building Law Treasures he had.

His mother concubine also gave him all the Spirit Medicine Law Treasures rewarded by the emperor.

That's why he could barely persuade Kang Fulu.

Now, if he can't convince Qi Yuan, his chances of winning the Dragon Seizing Competition are very low.

He couldn't bear to disappoint his mother concubine and uncle.

He stood outside the wooden house, waiting quietly, like Cheng Men Li Xue.

Suddenly, Dong Xian's communication jade slip moved.

It was sent by Senior Brother Kang Fulu.

He looked at the content inside and was stunned.

"Qi Lao, do you know what Senior Brother Kang Fulu just told me?" Dong Xian asked.

"What?" Qi Lao asked.

"Senior Brother Kang Fulu said that a secret realm appeared in Rong City, and the location of the Dragon Seizing Competition has been changed to Rong City."

"What?!!"

Rong City is very close to Seven Colour Peak. Even Qi Refining cultivators can get there in one or two hours.

Now, Qi Yuan just said it was too far and he didn't want to go.

And now, the location of the Dragon Seizing Competition has been changed to Rong City.

Is this fate helping me? Dong Xian thought excitedly.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, Dong Xian requests an audience!" Dong Xian's face showed joy as he shouted towards the wooden house.

Qi Yuan came out of the house. "Still here?"

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, the location of the Dragon Seizing Competition has changed, it has been changed to Rong City!" Dong Xian's tone was a bit excited.

Qi Yuan was stunned when he heard this. "In Rong City?"

This is too close.

How did it suddenly change to Rong City?

"It's true, Senior Brother Kang Fulu told me." Dong Xian spoke, his breath visible in the cold air. "Now, can I invite Senior Brother Qi Yuan to help me participate in the Dragon Seizing Competition?"

Qi Yuan stood up and couldn't help but sigh.

Is this the protagonist template?

Even the heavens help him solve problems.

He felt that if he didn't know any better, even the heavens would have to deal with him.

Since even the heavens are helping Dong Xian, can't he ask for a big favor?

Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "I can help you, but I have a few conditions."

Dong Xian's face was excited. "Senior Brother, please speak."

"I want a Law Treasure that can kill an Innate Saint."

Dong Xian was stunned. "...Senior Brother Qi Yuan, are you joking?"

"Then I want to achieve the cultivation of Ascension to the White Sun."

Dong Xian fell silent.

If he could achieve these things, would he still come to ask Senior Brother Qi Yuan to participate in the Dragon Seizing Competition?

"Is that not possible either?" Qi Yuan sighed helplessly. "Then give me the sun in the sky, I want to cultivate a Gold Core."

"..."

"Still not possible?" Qi Yuan was extremely helpless and finally thought of something. "Forget it, then give me a secret technique that can enhance my spiritual strength."

This is already the minimum requirement.

Dong Xian's mouth twitched involuntarily upon hearing this.

Senior Brother Qi Yuan's conditions this time didn't seem so outrageous compared to before.

But that was in comparison to the previous conditions.

A secret technique to enhance spiritual strength?

Such a technique is probably rare even in the Great Shang Kingdom.

The enhancement of spiritual strength is extremely important.

For a cultivator at the Divine Infant level to break through to the Violet Palace realm, they need to overcome three calamities.

These three calamities are all attacks on the spiritual soul.

Therefore, any Divine Infant cultivator who wants to break through to the Violet Palace realm must first strengthen their spiritual soul. Otherwise, no matter how strong their Dao techniques and magical powers are, they will not be able to survive the three calamities and will perish on the spot.

So, techniques that strengthen the spiritual soul are very rare, and even if they exist, they are in the hands of some old monsters at the Divine Infant level.

Techniques that strengthen the spiritual soul are more precious than Profound Level techniques, or even Heaven Level techniques.

Dong Xian looked troubled.

Not to mention techniques that strengthen the spiritual soul, he doesn't even have any Profound Level techniques.

"Qi Yuan..." Dong Xian wanted to say something.

At this moment, the voice of the old artifact inside him transmitted, "Agree to him, I have a technique that can strengthen the spiritual soul."

Dong Xian was first surprised, then moved. "Old Artifact, I..."

His nose tingled, and then he said to Qi Yuan, "Senior Brother, I can agree to this condition."

Qi Yuan was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Actually, he didn't expect Dong Xian to be able to produce a technique that can strengthen the spiritual soul.

He thought for a moment and finally nodded, "If you bring out the technique, I will help you."

The technique to strengthen the spiritual soul is indeed good, and Qi Yuan also needs it.

He wants to activate the second game, and he must strengthen his spiritual soul.

"Senior Brother, please wait for two days, I will naturally give you the technique."

"Okay."

...

Two days later, Dong Xian handed the technique jade slip to Qi Yuan.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, this is the technique to strengthen the spiritual soul."

"But Senior Brother, you need to be careful. This technique cannot be practiced too much."

"When cultivating, it will be extremely painful, as if the spiritual soul is being torn apart."

"If practiced too much, it may even cause serious damage to the spiritual soul." Dong Xian earnestly reminded.

Qi Yuan took the technique jade slip and nodded, "Okay, I will remember."

He returned to his wooden house and his divine sense entered the jade slip.

"The Hundred Refinements Soul Strengthening Technique?"

[This is an ordinary technique to enhance the spiritual soul, with 250 flaws. After modification, the effect of cultivation will be tripled, but the pain will also be tripled.]

This technique lives up to its name.

When cultivating, the spiritual soul is condensed into a hammer, constantly striking other spiritual souls, just like forging steel, refining it a hundred times, even ten thousand times.

Naturally, it is extremely painful to strike one's own spiritual soul with a hammer.

Qi Yuan thought for a moment, sat on a wooden stool, and began to perfect this technique.

This technique is difficult, even if Qi Yuan's eyes can see the prompts, it took him ten days to modify this technique.

"Finally, I can start cultivating. I hope it won't be too painful. I'm afraid of pain. I can't even watch when getting an injection."

Qi Yuan began practicing the completed "Hundred Refining Soul Technique." A huge hammer appeared and continuously struck his divine soul.

"Huh, why doesn't it hurt?" Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He thought that continuously pounding his divine soul would be very painful.

But unexpectedly, he felt nothing at all. It was quite interesting, like playing Whac-A-Mole.

Qi Yuan's divine soul was also constantly growing.

After an unknown amount of time, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly entered his ears.

"I killed the last person in this world who shares blood ties with me. Although she struck first, hehe, I am the demoness."

When Qi Yuan heard this, wasn't this Ning E's voice?

However, her voice sounded different, no longer cute but rather cold.

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and couldn't help but reply, "If you killed someone, then you being a demoness is normal, right?"

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he didn't hear any more words and continued practicing the "Hundred Refining Soul Technique."

Flowing Wind Realm.

The girl was in her prime, her face covered with a black veil, revealing half of her face which showed her beauty. She wore a black dress and held a scythe of death in her hand.

Blood dripped from the scythe.

She looked at the corpses on the ground, feeling extremely desolate.

The ground was covered in blood and corpses.

Suddenly, a familiar voice entered her ears.

Ning E's eyes first showed astonishment, then surprise. "Uncle, you're here?"

Unfortunately, there was no one to answer her.

She stood in place, her small figure appearing somewhat lonely.

"Uncle? Have you left?"

Still, no one responded.

She didn't leave, standing in place for two hours.

She seemed to be waiting for something.

She was alone, appearing particularly lonely, with a constant bloody beauty.

Unfortunately, what she was waiting for didn't come, but instead, she waited for enemies.

"The demoness is still here, kill her quickly!"

"Demoness!"

A group of people rushed towards her, and a sweet smile flashed in Ning E's eyes.

"Uncle, it seems you also support me. Since I am a demoness, I will turn the world upside down."

She held the scythe of death, her tall figure appearing like a death rose in the sunset.

The slaughter began again.

And then it ended.

"Uncle, I have to go. With another wave of enemies, your gentle and delicate wife will die here, hehehe."

She deliberately laughed with a "hehehe."

...

"Not bad, the divine soul has grown quite a bit, and I'm getting closer to that game icon."

But it's still far away.

Qi Yuan felt that if he continued step by step, it would probably take another three months to enter this game.

"Too slow, so boring."

Qi Yuan walked out of the room and basked in the sun.

The days when the snow melted were even colder than usual.

The Seven Colour Peak still had its silver-clad palaces and towers on the mountaintop, while most of the snow below had melted.

"Master, do you want to come down and bask in the sun with me?" Qi Yuan shouted towards the mountaintop.

Unfortunately, there was no response at all.

"When I reach the Primal Core stage, I'll be able to go to the mountaintop and see Master.

Sigh, the Primal Core stage is too difficult."

Qi Yuan felt helpless.

Indeed, the Primal Core stage was difficult.

His current cultivation was still at the Foundation Building stage, and he hadn't made much progress.

He was only at the early stage of Foundation Building.

He needed a cultivation technique that reached the Primal Core stage in order to step into the Primal Core stage.

Without reaching the Primal Core stage, Master couldn't be bothered to see him.

He shouted for Master to bask in the sun, naturally receiving no response.

And at this moment, Jiang Lingsu's slightly weak voice came, "Senior Brother, let me accompany you to sunbathe."

Jiang Lingsu walked out of the house, her complexion not very good, pale and lacking color, as if she had just walked out of a freezer, still covered in frost.

"Junior Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qi Yuan looked at Jiang Lingsu and reached out his hand.

Jiang Lingsu hesitated for a moment, and her soft hand fell into Qi Yuan's.

Cold, very cold.

Qi Yuan felt as if he was touching an ice cube.

"It's nothing, just an old problem." Jiang Lingsu lay down on the recliner next to Qi Yuan, not pulling her hand back. She felt that her senior brother's hand was warm.

Qi Yuan's eyes fell on Jiang Lingsu's pale face.

[This is an ordinary girl, and she is feeling cold.]

The information received by the eyes of intelligent beings is mostly random, and Qi Yuan couldn't see how his junior sister was feeling.

"Are you cold, Junior Sister? Let me warm you up with my enthusiasm." Qi Yuan said as he activated his Five Elements Fire and slowly transferred it to Jiang Lingsu.

Jiang Lingsu is a wealthy woman and Qi Yuan's junior sister. She even helped Qi Yuan carry such a big blame last time.

As her own junior sister, Qi Yuan naturally wanted to be considerate.

Warm air spread from the big senior brother's hand, and Jiang Lingsu felt warm and somewhat surprised.

She didn't expect her senior brother to be able to alleviate her pain.

She said, "This condition of mine requires a Heavenly Spirit Root Violet Palace realm cultivator with water attribute to cure it. It's not very painful now, thank you, Senior Brother."

"Violet Palace realm?" Qi Yuan was surprised. "When I cultivate to the Great Principal Golden Immortal realm, I will definitely capture a Violet Palace realm cultivator to heal you."

"Pooh... um..." Jiang Lingsu couldn't help but smile on her face, revealing a painful expression. "Senior Brother, stop talking, it's too funny, my chest hurts when I laugh."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan felt quite wronged.

He was sincere, but ended up being seen as a funny guy.

"How about I help you massage from a distance?" Thinking of the last time he made a sudden move on his junior sister, Qi Yuan felt that he was speaking with high emotional intelligence this time.

The phrase "from a distance" neither made him seem presumptuous nor compromised his gentlemanly demeanor.

"Shut up!" Jiang Lingsu really wanted to sew her senior brother's mouth shut with a needle.

Qi Yuan heard her words and didn't say anything.

He didn't argue with the patient.

At the same time, he reflected on where he went wrong and caused his junior sister's dissatisfaction.

Could it be that although speaking from a distance showed elegance, it seemed insincere?

"Senior Brother, thank you." Jiang Lingsu said softly.

"It's nothing." Qi Yuan said.

"You don't speak."

"..."

"Let me tell you some good news, I have applied for your membership in the Divine Flower Gathering, and it has been approved."

"..." Qi Yuan nodded, feeling somewhat surprised.

"This is the proof of the Divine Flower Gathering." Jiang Lingsu took out a special jade slip from her pocket and said, "This jade slip is specially made and worth ten thousand spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was instantly astonished.

This is worth ten thousand spirit stones?

Comparable to a Primal Core Law Treasure.

This junior sister is really rich!

No wonder ordinary people can't join the Divine Flower Gathering, they can't even afford this proof.

Unfortunately, he couldn't speak now. He really wanted to throw out his "Little Marriage Proposal" sign to express his respect for the wealthy woman.

"I'm giving it to you. From now on, you will be a member of the Divine Flower Gathering." Jiang Lingsu gave the jade slip to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan took the jade slip and heard Jiang Lingsu say, "Infuse a strand of your divine soul into it, and the jade slip will recognize you as its master. The function of this jade slip is not just a proof, it's much more than that. Except for some special places, members of our Divine Flower Gathering can communicate through this jade slip no matter where they are."

Following Jiang Lingsu's instructions, he infused a strand of his divine soul into it, and instantly the jade slip recognized him as its master.

Countless information flooded into his mind.

A look of surprise appeared on Qi Yuan's face.

Isn't this just like QQ and a forum?

He discovered that this jade slip was like a mobile phone, with many modules.

One of the modules was like QQ, similar to an enhanced version of a regular communication jade slip, with more functions.

And there was also a place for members of the Divine Flower Gathering to communicate, just like a forum.

Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised. It seemed that even if cultivators didn't activate the technology tree, many things were still the same.

Jiang Lingsu's eyes revealed a proud smile. "Senior Brother, is this the first time you've seen such a high-level jade slip? What do you think?"
