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

Chapter 19: Striking Hard in the Game, Timid in Reality

Qi Yuan wielded his giant sword, moving among the bellybands... no, among the Yi Guan demons.

Small skills activated continuously.

Powerful Sword Skull Splitter!

Xiaoxiang Sword Rain!

Blood Escape!

Experience +300.

Experience +200.

...

Experience +400.

Qi Yuan killed with great satisfaction, finally finding the feeling of playing a game.

The monsters before him were all experience packs!

He slaughtered all around in the game.

Sword to pierce the big shorts!

Chopping off the big clothes!

Sword to stab the straps!

Qi Yuan killed with great joy.

And the number of Yi Guan demons around him increased.

Trees were broken, and Yi Guan demons were shattered.

Within a radius of dozens of meters, it was Qi Yuan's personal battlefield.

He was like a killing god. Once he approached a Yi Guan demon, it became his experience baby.

Because it was nighttime, the Yi Guan demons couldn't quickly gather, fighting individually.

For Qi Yuan, this was undoubtedly like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.

The reason he could kill so freely in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone was that the monsters there were not united.

At this moment, all the Yi Guan demons in the Yi Guan Forbidden Zone were slowly awakening.

As Qi Yuan went on a killing spree, some newly awakened Yi Guan demons were still dazed.

"So, even demons can have stampedes."

Qi Yuan saw the "stampede" in the distance and rushed over.

The stampede of Yi Guan demons was different. It was due to their sudden awakening, triggering emergency responses, and attacking randomly.

This led to many weaker Yi Guan demons being caught in the chaos.

"Kill!"

Qi Yuan transformed into a god of grinding, slaughtering all around in the game.

However, after just a few hours, Qi Yuan decided to flee.

"No, I need to run!"

Although the Yi Guan demons' senses were dulled at night, over time, they slowly formed a military formation, attacking Qi Yuan.

At this point, it was time to run.

As before, Qi Yuan dug a hole and buried himself.

"Not bad, I've reached level 84, my strength has increased significantly."

After grinding all night, he gained one and a half levels of experience, leveling up twice.

"I aim to take over the entire Yi Guan Forbidden Zone within half a month!"

Qi Yuan thought that if he kept this up every night, in half a month, he would have worn down the Yi Guan demons significantly.

By then, he might even reach level 90.

At that point, he could awaken another major skill.

Then, his power in the game world would increase again, speeding up his clearing of other forbidden zones and even desperate situations, allowing him to gather the spiritual materials for the Heavenly Dao foundation.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan suddenly felt dejected: "Cultivating immortality is too hard. Just to build a Heavenly Dao foundation, I have to clear an entire world? How strong must those legendary geniuses who built the Heavenly Dao foundation be! I should avoid them if I encounter them in the future."

Qi Yuan lay in the pit, changed to a comfortable position, and as usual, sent a message to Jin Li.

He recounted his night raid and finally said goodnight before logging off.

Because staying in the game too long took a toll on his mental state.

He had tried it before; if he stayed in the game for more than half a day, the situation would become severe.
How severe?

It was like a normal person having a hypoglycemic attack and blacking out.

So, he hardly ever stayed in the game for 12 hours or more.

Just before logging off, he sighed in frustration: "Striking hard in the game, timid in reality."

Indeed, he could slaughter monsters in the game, but in reality, he was timid and couldn't even kill a Yuan Dan.

He could only wait for his knife to develop intelligence to have a chance to kill a Yuan Dan master.

Of course, it was only a chance, not a guarantee.

The next day, when Qi Yuan woke up, he seemed to hear the sound of thousands of ducks quacking.

He opened his eyes, got dressed, and washed up.

He walked out of the courtyard, took a deep breath of the morning air, and looked at the three girls in front of him: "What are you talking about so early in the morning?"

Among the three girls, one was his junior sister, Jiang Lingsu.

Another one he had seen before was a girl with top grades who entered Shen Guang Sect this year.

When he was selecting junior sisters, he had excluded this girl.

This girl seemed innocent on the surface, but there was always a hint of allure in her eyes.

Qi Yuan remembered that his eyes had shown this girl had a special constitution and was favored by the Black Chicken Old Demon.

The last girl was ordinary, with the most notable feature being her numerous freckles.

Generally speaking, cultivators rarely had freckles on their faces.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

The three girls bowed.

The status of the chief disciple was prestigious. Even yesterday, when Zheng Jianghe led a team out and encountered Qi Yuan, he stopped to salute before leaving.

Seeing Qi Yuan still not fully awake, Jiang Lingsu couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, it's already noon. How is it early?"

Qi Yuan looked up at the sun in the sky.

It was big and round.

He looked at the three girls again.

Hey... I've been thinking about forming a golden core recently; everything looks big and round.

"What are you discussing so passionately?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

"Isn't it about the Black Mountain Sect!" the seemingly innocent girl said, her face filled with anger.

Qi Yuan suddenly remembered that Zheng Jianghe had led Jin Guang Hall to Rong City yesterday, which seemed related to the Black Mountain Sect.

"What happened?"

"A few days ago, a true disciple of the Black Mountain Sect, named Chu Tianxiong, committed heinous acts in Rong City, defiling several newlywed women and exterminating their entire families. It's truly despicable!

Brother Zheng Jianghe led Jin Guang Hall to capture Chu Tianxiong in Rong City!" The innocent girl became increasingly agitated, her words almost incoherent.

Jiang Lingsu said, "Xiao Ran, don't get excited. Let me explain.

Chu Tianxiong was captured by Jin Guang Hall and was extremely arrogant.

Brother Zheng Jianghe wanted to take Chu Tianxiong back to the sect for punishment, but halfway there, an elder from the Black Mountain Sect appeared, took Chu Tianxiong away, and... and injured Brother Zheng Jianghe!"

All three girls were furious, with the freckled girl clenching her fists, wishing to kill Chu Tianxiong.

Jiang Ran said, "The Black Mountain Sect is too rampant!"

The freckled girl couldn't help but speak up, "If it weren't for the Black Chicken Old Demon, would the Black Mountain Sect dare to be so arrogant?"

Hearing the name Black Chicken Old Demon, Jiang Ran's face turned solemn.

Qi Yuan said, "I've watched many TV shows; villains never have a good ending!"

The three girls were confused, not knowing what TV shows were.

But they understood the second half of the sentence.

They fell silent.

Will bad people really not have good endings?
Jiang Lingsu remembered that when a demonic cultivator who had slaughtered an entire country came to her clan, her father and grandfather treated him with great respect.

This is ultimately a world where strength is respected.

Bad people... might live even better than good people.

"Senior Brother is right. Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. It's just that the time hasn't come yet!" Jiang Lingsu agreed.
