My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 348: The Secrets of Gongxing, the Place of the End

"Is it possible that the laws changed, and those lending companies went bankrupt?" The Canary pondered seriously.

No matter the topic, she could always keep up with Qi Yuan's train of thought.

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement: "You have a point, so... whether it's fortune or misfortune, it's not my doing, maybe it's just fate."

"So, whatever you do, it won't be wrong." The Canary's beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.

"You too." Qi Yuan was also good at being a repeater.

He opened up other chat apps.

There were all sorts of useless messages, as well as some holiday greetings from acquaintances.

Among them, a former classmate had sent a message seven months ago: "Are you there? I'm a bit short on cash, old friend."

Then, after a day's gap, late at night, the same person sent another message.

"You’re really so realistic, I didn’t really mean to borrow, just wanted to reconnect with an old classmate, just asking..."

Then, there was a long, dramatic message.

And then, seven days later, another late-night message arrived.

"In urgent need, short on funds for a bit. For the sake of our years of friendship, could you lend me some money, not much, just thirty thousand!"

Seeing these messages, Qi Yuan was speechless.

"What on earth is this?"

He grumbled a bit, then directly blocked and deleted this classmate.

He continued scrolling through his social media apps.

Suddenly, a private message caught his attention.

"Canary, do you think this person has a crush on me?"

Qi Yuan showed the phone to the Canary.

The Canary’s drowsy eyes suddenly widened, her earlier sleepiness replaced by excitement: "Let me see, I’ll help you judge!"

On Qi Yuan's phone, there was a private message.

The message was received on the day Qi Yuan had registered his marriage with the Canary and Xiao Jia.

Back then, Qi Yuan had shown off a bit and then left it alone.

But it turned out there was another message.

The message was simple.

"Congratulations, and happy wedding."

Just six short words, but Qi Yuan seemed to see through the screen that the sender was sad, forcing a smile.

"They must have a crush on me; otherwise, why would they spend money to send me a private message wishing me a happy wedding?

Sigh, it’s tough being so charming. No matter where I go, there are always some fangirls." Qi Yuan’s expression was calm, almost annoyed.

After all, he was a bit of a social phobe.

But his looks and charm were impossible to hide.

What if he became a viral sensation? How annoying.

"Haha, maybe it’s not a fangirl, but a fanboy." The Canary clicked on the person's profile picture, looked at their previous videos, and made a judgment.

"A guy?" Qi Yuan was stunned. "A crafty little pretty boy, how terrifying. This isn’t Shu, so why would I encounter something like this?"

Qi Yuan felt unlucky.

His sexual orientation had always been very normal.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Canary, give me some spiritual energy. I want to quickly break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

At this point, Qi Yuan’s gaze fell on the Canary's moist lips.

For Qi Yuan, the martial path couldn't be neglected, and naturally, neither could the immortal path.

He wanted to improve his strength in all aspects; after all... it would all feed back into his true self.

Even though he hadn’t put much effort into cultivating the immortal path in this game, the increase in realm still benefited him greatly.

Even though his Nascent Soul here couldn’t easily kill myths like in the Canglan Realm.

But slaying a Purple Mansion cultivator would still be easy.

"Okay." The Canary looked at Qi Yuan, her white neck swallowing slightly, as she leaned in closer to him.

Sweet, heavenly spiritual energy, accompanied by her little fragrant tongue, slipped into Qi Yuan's mouth.

Qi Yuan closed his eyes and instinctively wrapped his arm around the Canary's waist.

"No wonder everyone loves cultivating immortality; who could refuse this feeling?"

That night, Qi Yuan held the Canary close and officially stepped into the Nascent Soul stage.

...

Two days later, Qi Yuan opened his eyes, a look of joy in them.

"All the Nascent Souls... have finally appeared."

At this moment, he looked inward at his own body, where over four thousand Nascent Souls had formed.

These Nascent Souls were all condensed in the Mortal Heart Realm.

"Unfortunately, this game body of mine is too weak to fully harness the power of these Nascent Souls."

Qi Yuan had long realized that his in-game self was akin to his "soul."

To put it in simpler terms, it was his soul.

But this "soul" was somewhat different, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

And each time he entered a new world, it was always very weak.

So, Qi Yuan only referred to it as his spirit.

The Nascent Soul was different from the Stellar Golden Core.

The Stellar Golden Core was suspended in the universe, and as long as there was enough spiritual energy in the body, its projection could be sent out at any time.

The Nascent Soul was different.

Its power was too overwhelming.

If he sent it out, his "spirit" wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

So, these Nascent Souls currently couldn’t be converted into his combat power in this world.

However...

Qi Yuan’s eyes deepened with thought: "This world is truly a large-scale breeding ground for gods and demons!"

Previously, with Uqi, and later with the Ajie siblings found in the Wugui Nation, both had special bloodlines. Qi Yuan could send out his Nascent Souls, in the form of grandpa and grandma spirits, to inhabit their bodies.

As they grew stronger, Qi Yuan’s Nascent Souls would gradually fully awaken, eventually restoring to their original state, and even advancing further.
