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

Chapter 92: Elder Xuan Chong with a Bad Temper

Inside the palace.

True Monarch Ku Mu sat on the main seat, and the smoke from the Red Dust Incense drifted in front of his face, making it difficult to see his expression.

The Sect Master of the Floating Mountain, Mad Sword True Monarch, squinted his eyes and asked, "So, the Soul Nurturing Flower was taken by Qi Yuan?"

Elder Li Xiao nodded from below the stage.

Kang Fu Lu also added, "Most likely, Qi Yuan killed them and took away about three hundred Soul Nurturing Flowers."

After returning from the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm, Li Xiao and Kang Fu Lu hurriedly met with the Sect Master to inform him of what had happened in the secret realm.

"Three hundred Red Demon Seeds, at least a hundred of them are at the Primal Core stage..." Mad Sword True Monarch didn't finish his sentence.

This news was too shocking.

Even if it was a Primal Core Late Stage cultivator, it would be impossible to achieve this.

And Qi Yuan, he had just reached the Foundation Building stage.

"Could it be that the Red Sword Sect didn't implant the Red Demon Seeds in these dead soldiers?" The Great Shang Empress, dressed in a light purple phoenix robe, showed a hint of doubt on her fair and jade-like face.

"If that's the case, it can explain... but if they didn't implant the Red Demon Seeds, how could the old emperor's plan succeed?" Mad Sword True Monarch voiced his doubts.

True Monarch Ku Mu remained silent, sitting on the main seat, lost in thought.

At this moment, he finally spoke, "Has the method to enter the Burial Ground of the Sunken Coffin not been found yet? If it is found, everything will be known."

Elder Li Xiao shook his head, "I'm afraid only the Red Sword Sect and the deceased old emperor know about this."

When the Red Sword Sect was mentioned, everyone present felt heavy in their hearts.

That was a formidable force, with a terrifying existence sitting in the Violet Palace.

The Violet Palace and the Divine Infant stage were completely different realms.

In the Violet Palace stage, one could already begin to decipher the essence of spiritual energy and unleash the power of the origin.

The power of the origin was extremely terrifying, and Divine Infant cultivators couldn't avoid it, they could only resist it.

If a Violet Palace cultivator came to the Divine Light Sect, all the Divine Infant cultivators of the Divine Light Sect would probably be defeated by the Violet Palace cultivator.

If five or six Primal Core Late Stage cultivators could still contend with a cultivator who had just entered the Divine Infant stage, Divine Infant cultivators who had not yet touched the origin would be no match for a Violet Palace cultivator.

"The Red Sword Sect is quite far from the Great Shang Immortal Cultivation World, and they also have enemies. The Violet Palace cultivators might not dare to leave their sect, so there's no need to worry." True Monarch Ku Mu's words resolved the worries in everyone's hearts.

At this time, Kang Fu Lu said, "Po Lang from the Clear Light Palace should have also perished in the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm, I wonder... who killed him?"

He paused for a moment.

True Monarch Ku Mu looked at his son-in-law and said, "What do you think? You can speak freely."

Kang Fu Lu continued, "Lu Fei and Liu Xing from the Demon Desire Sect were both killed by Po Lang. The old emperor and his dead soldiers were killed by Qi Yuan. A few months ago, Zhu Lianhua from the Clear Light Palace sent an invitation to Seven Colour Peak, but it was rejected. The next day, Zhu Lianhua's body was found near the Divine Light Sect. Now, Po Lang has also perished in the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm, and it's probably related to Qi Yuan."

Kang Fu Lu said these things calmly.

But in fact, his heart was not calm.

After all, he had witnessed Po Lang's strength, which was comparable to a cultivator who had just entered the Primal Core stage.

"Interesting, at the Foundation Building stage." A glint of sharpness flashed in Mad Sword True Monarch's eyes. "That person from Seven Colour Peak... could it be true, as the rumors say, that he is hiding from his enemies in the Violet Palace?"

Although the ordinary cultivators of the Great Shang Kingdom were spreading rumors that Ruan Yixi was a cultivator at the Divine Infant Late Stage.

However, both True Monarch Mad Sword and True Monarch Withered Wood feel that Ruan Yixi is more mysterious.

It is even possible that she is a wounded Violet Palace.

If she is indeed from the Violet Palace, she could grant Qi Yuan some original magical power.

All of this makes sense.

"There's no need to mention this matter again," True Monarch Withered Wood concluded.

Upon hearing True Monarch Withered Wood's words, everyone present agreed.

Since the matter has already been resolved, everyone bid their farewells and left.

In the grand palace, only True Monarch Withered Wood and the dignified and beautiful Great Shang Empress remained.

True Monarch Withered Wood stood up and walked behind the empress, his hand embracing her waist, feeling the warmth of her voluptuous body. True Monarch Withered Wood said, "Muyou, you've worked hard."

The Great Shang Empress's eyes were charming. "If it weren't for you back then, I would have perished long ago. What hardship is there?"

At this moment, True Monarch Withered Wood thought of something and whispered, "Did you say that Qi Yuan killed Po Lang and those assassins with the treasures bestowed by Ruan Yixi, or was it his own power?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Shang Empress's elegant eyes revealed a pained expression, as if she was lost in memories. "You haven't given up yet?"

A fierce aura overflowed from True Monarch Withered Wood's eyes. "How can I forget? My people all died at their hands. I must cultivate an unrivaled genius, at least in the top one hundred of the Eastern Land Genius Rankings, in order to have a chance to retrieve what our people left behind. Fuluo is working hard, but his talent... is limited. It's already difficult for him to touch the Little Genius Rankings, let alone the top one hundred."

The Great Shang Empress didn't try to persuade him any further. "This matter needs to be handled with caution and not decided lightly."

"So, I want to send someone into the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm to see what happened at the burial site. If it was really done by Qi Yuan, he deserves my investment!" True Monarch Withered Wood's face was filled with anticipation.

The probability of encountering an unrivaled genius in a small place like the Great Shang Kingdom is extremely low.

...

The sound of a wooden plaque falling rang out, like the sound of mountain spring water hitting a stone.

Qi Yuan suddenly woke up. "Xiao Jia?"

He looked over and saw Xiao Jia, who had been sleeping soundly, showing signs of consciousness.

She didn't make any big movements, just tightly holding onto Qi Yuan's sleeve, timidly.

A trace of tenderness flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes. "You're awake?"

What he saw in his eyes was that Xiao Jia could wake up at any moment.

But he didn't expect her to wake up so soon.

Was there a change in the situation?

Or was it because Xiao Jia would gradually recover as she stayed with him?

Or was there some other reason he didn't know about?

[Xiao Jia, the Empress of the Wedding Attire, is also your wife. She is currently in a semi-awake state and may fully awaken in six days.]

Upon hearing this news, Qi Yuan felt a bit excited in his heart.

Regardless, Xiao Jia is about to wake up. Isn't that a good thing?

Qi Yuan held Xiao Jia tightly.

However, the exhausted Xiao Jia, who had just been thrown out, seemed to have used up all her strength and fell back into a deep sleep.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Jia disappeared from the bed, and there was a trace of a wedding attire on Qi Yuan's chest.

Qi Yuan walked out of his room.

Nowadays, there are already formulas for the Soul Separation Pill, the main ingredient Soul Thought Flower is also available, and the rest of the Spirit Medicine is not rare.

Qi Yuan decided to go to Divine Medicine Peak to seek the help of a physician in refining the pill.

In the Great Shang Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World, physicians are a combination of pharmacists and alchemists.

They not only treat people, but also refine pills.

Because of this, Divine Medicine Peak is the richest peak among the peaks of the Divine Light Sect.

The number of disciples in this peak is also the highest.

As soon as Qi Yuan stepped into Divine Medicine Peak, a beautiful Qi Refining female disciple approached him and said, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, why have you come to my Divine Medicine Peak? Have you been injured?"

"I am proficient in various medical techniques and can provide free treatment for Senior Brother."

In Divine Medicine Peak, even the disciples have different levels of tasks.

For a beautiful woman like her, her task is relatively easy, responsible for reception and occasionally earning some extra money.

For disciples like them, the most important thing is to have insight and remember all the important figures in the sect.

Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to exclude important figures.

In response to the implied words of the beautiful woman, Qi Yuan said, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for your kind offer. I need to find an elder to refine the pill. Do you know which elder is available now?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the beautiful woman.

Opportunities on the path of immortality are so rare.

When you encounter one, you must seize it.

But she quickly said, "There are four elders available, namely Elder Baihe, Elder Xuanchong..."

She detailed the information of the four elders to Qi Yuan.

"Elder Xuanchong." Qi Yuan made a decision. "Thank you, Junior Sister, for leading the way."

Qi Yuan still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor towards fellow disciples.

The beautiful woman led Qi Yuan up Divine Medicine Peak, explaining the information about Elder Xuanchong along the way.

"Elder Xuanchong is not originally from the Great Shang Kingdom. He is a cultivator from outside who was brought back to the sect by the sect master. He is the second most important physician on Divine Medicine Peak, second only to the peak master."

However, this elder..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the beautiful woman looked around and then whispered to Qi Yuan, "He has a bad temper. It is said that once a true disciple asked him to refine a potion, but accidentally commented that the potion smelled bad. As a result, the elder broke his leg."

"Okay." Qi Yuan didn't think much of it.

It's normal for powerful people to have some quirks.

Among the Four Emperors of Divine Flowers, besides him, who doesn't have some issues?

But they are still provincial-level geniuses.

Whereas he has been wasting so much time, still stuck at the village level.

Not long after, led by the beautiful woman, Qi Yuan arrived outside Elder Xuanchong's Cave Mansion, and the two of them waited quietly.

Qi Yuan glanced at the beautiful woman and whispered, "You should have a water attribute spiritual root, right? Lately, you have been exposed to too many Fire Crystal Stones, which has caused some disorder in your spiritual energy. Eat some cooling foods to resolve it."

Qi Yuan was truly gentle towards fellow disciples.

After all, he had been a free tour guide for so long, occasionally giving a little guidance was nothing.

The beautiful woman was initially a bit confused, but then showed a surprised expression, "Thank you, Senior Brother Qi Yuan!"

She had indeed been feeling some problems with her cultivation recently, but she didn't know the reason.

Just as this was happening, a sharp voice came from inside the Cave Mansion.

"How did you figure it out?"

The speaker was none other than Elder Xuanchong inside the Cave Mansion.

The door of the Cave Mansion opened, and the beautiful woman left on her own.

Qi Yuan entered the Cave Mansion and immediately felt a strong wood attribute aura.

Elder Xuan Chong had a black and gray face, and there was a broken alchemy furnace in front of him.

It seemed that the alchemy process had failed and the furnace exploded.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Qi Yuan refined the five elements' aura and was particularly sensitive to the five elements.

Elder Xuan Chong glanced at Qi Yuan, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he casually asked, "I heard that you killed Po Lang in the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm?"

"It wasn't me. How could I dare to offend the people from Clear Light Palace?" Qi Yuan quickly denied.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Elder Xuan Chong's eyes, and he asked, "Did you kill the old emperor and his loyalists?"

"Yes!" Qi Yuan didn't hide this. After all, the old emperor was already dead, and there probably wouldn't be anyone investigating behind his back.

Moreover, he obtained the Soul Nourishing Flower, which was not a secret. Anyone who deliberately investigated would know.

"Can you tell me how you killed them?" Elder Xuan Chong looked at Qi Yuan in surprise.

"I killed them one by one with my sword."

Elder Xuan Chong stared at Qi Yuan and suddenly burst into laughter. "I believe you."

"What do you want to refine?"

"Soul Separation Pill." Qi Yuan said, taking out the pill formula and the Soul Nourishing Flower.

Elder Xuan Chong took the pill formula and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "This is slightly different from the pill formula I've seen before."

"I made some improvements. Elder, you can use this one to refine it." Qi Yuan was a little surprised that Elder Xuan Chong had seen the original pill formula.

It seemed that this old man's identity was extraordinary.

But so what?

Anyway, Divine Light Sect was full of loopholes.

Elder Xuan Chong looked at the pill formula, took the Soul Nourishing Flower, and said, "The other medicinal materials are all available at Divine Medicine Peak. It's just that the Feather of the Mysterious Chicken is temporarily unavailable. You can buy it from the market."

Qi Yuan nodded, "I wonder how many spirit stones are needed for the materials and labor to refine this pill?"

"It's free, no need for spirit stones." Elder Xuan Chong's voice was sharp. He tried to squeeze out a kind smile, but it looked a bit eerie.

"Why?" Qi Yuan was a little surprised.

"Because you are a disciple that the sect master focuses on cultivating." Elder Xuan Chong chuckled.

Qi Yuan felt inexplicable.

At this moment, Elder Xuan Chong took out a gourd from his storage bag.

"I have a few Soul Separation Pills here. Take as many as you need."

Qi Yuan took the gourd and took a closer look. There were indeed Soul Separation Pills inside.

He remembered the words of the beautiful woman.

Who said Elder Xuan Chong had a bad temper?

He was simply a great person!

"Elder Xuan Chong, I'll accept the pills. I'll repay you in the future!" Qi Yuan was in great need of Soul Separation Pills.

Even if Elder Xuan Chong had some ulterior motives, so what?

Take advantage of the situation!

"You kid, you speak quite interestingly." Elder Xuan Chong heard the words "repay you in the future" and didn't get angry. "Go and buy the Feather of the Mysterious Chicken. I'll refine the pill for you."

"Okay!" Qi Yuan left the Cave Mansion and disappeared in a flash of light.

Inside the Cave Mansion, Elder Xuan Chong looked at the Soul Nourishing Flower, his expression unchanged.

At this moment, there was a fluctuation in space, and True Monarch Ku Mu appeared in the Cave Mansion.
