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

Chapter 21: Wealthy Fool

Even though Kumu Zhen Jun was a True Lord, his heart was churning at this moment.

He looked at Qi Yuan, wanting to say something.

However, Qi Yuan directly left.

Kumu Zhen Jun sat down, his hand caressing the purple sandalwood chair, wisps of red dust incense rising. He didn't know what he was thinking about.

Outside Shen Guang Sect, Qi Yuan was once again strolling with his knife.

"A first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual item... Yellow Flower Fruit." Qi Yuan was actually tempted.

The price of Foundation Establishment spiritual items was steep.

"However, to get the reward at the Foundation Establishment Conference, you need to defeat disciples from other sects... too troublesome."

Just thinking about competing made Qi Yuan feel bored; he'd rather grind in games, where his power genuinely increased.

Only, when he went to a shop and asked about the price of a first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual item, his eyes lit up.

"What, worth ten thousand spirit stones? And it's priceless?"

"A wealthy clan once offered fifty thousand spirit stones and didn't get one? Couldn't even buy a second-grade one?"

Qi Yuan was somewhat tempted.

As the head disciple of Seven Colors Peak, he could only get ten spirit stones worth of resources every month.

However, after offending his master, his spirit stone supply was cut off.

He lived frugally every day.

Recently, his thatched hut was leaking in the rain, and he was reluctant to spend spirit stones to hire someone for repairs, so he climbed onto the roof and fixed it himself.

What kind of cultivation life was this?

Moreover, once Qi Yuan reached Foundation Establishment, the amount of spirit stones he would need would be vast.

Polishing his mana during the Foundation Establishment stage was extremely costly in terms of spirit stones.

Hence, the Foundation Establishment disciples of Shen Guang Sect often went out to take on tasks to earn spirit stones.

"Maybe I should give it a try?"

"Forget it, too troublesome."

"If some bad guy wins it, then I could take the moral high ground and snatch it."

Qi Yuan was daydreaming, but it was just daydreaming.

Such a high-grade Foundation Establishment item would definitely be guarded by powerful people. With his current weak strength, how could he possibly snatch it?

Wandering around aimlessly all day, Qi Yuan felt like he was missing a ghost fire and a teenage girl telling her father, "Dad, you just don't understand him."

When he returned to Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan smelled a rich aroma.

"Spiritual carp fish, fragrant mushrooms, North treasure melon..."

Qi Yuan's nose was very keen.

These aromas made his mouth water.

"Junior sister, this pot of yours... must have cost a lot, right?" Qi Yuan remembered that in the half year since he arrived in this world, he had only eaten a spiritual dish once, and it was worth less than one spirit stone.

"Not too bad, just a few dozen spirit stones." Jiang Lingsu said lightly. She clapped her hands, "In a little while, I will be establishing my foundation, so I need to eat well and nourish my body."

Of course, Jiang Lingsu had other considerations.

She wanted to show a bit of wealth to see if she could attract the attention of the cold and beautiful fairy on Seven Colors Peak.

After all, in the upcoming dark turmoil, the one who could resist might be that fairy on Seven Colors Peak.

Qi Yuan was stunned upon hearing this: "Where did you get so many spirit stones?"

Jiang Lingsu smiled sweetly, "Lucky birth."

"Wealthy fool." Qi Yuan gritted his teeth, sour grapes, "Your spiritual food lacks seasoning, might taste a bit off."

These spiritual materials were beyond his means; he couldn't even afford one of the mushrooms inside.

"Senior brother, last time you made chicken soup for me, this time I'll treat you to spiritual food soup." Jiang Lingsu said.

Qi Yuan instantly changed his expression: "Delicious, with such good ingredients, it must be delicious."

He also took the opportunity to advertise Jiang Lingsu's spiritual food.

Jiang Lingsu: "..."

Indeed, those of the obsessed lineage all had a bit of a problem in the head.

She served Qi Yuan a full bowl of spiritual food.

She also served herself a bowl.

Qi Yuan took a bite, and his mouth was filled with flavor, his saliva flowing.

"Truly a delicacy of the human world." Qi Yuan commented. This was far better than the Hextech takeout he had bought in his previous life.

Moreover, just one bite made him feel his mana increase slightly.

This was no less than the increase in cultivation he got from killing a level seventy great demon in the game, the feedback of which reached his real body.

He suddenly felt that grinding in games wasn't as enjoyable; it was better to eat spiritual food.

And it tasted so much better, better than Hextech, better than pre-made meals.

However, at this moment, Jiang Lingsu frowned: "Unfortunately, the grade of spiritual materials is too low, the taste is a bit lacking."

Qi Yuan immediately felt that the spiritual food in his bowl wasn't as tasty anymore.

Not tasty, but he didn't hold back when eating.

...

"Time to grind in the game."

Seeing that it was late, Qi Yuan entered the game again.

As usual, Qi Yuan crawled out of the pit.

"After a good meal... time to grind in the game!"

He wielded a large sword, sneaking through the forest.

Tonight's Yi Guan Forest was no different from usual.

It seemed that last night's damage to the Yi Guan monsters hadn't taught them a lesson.

Soon, Qi Yuan arrived at the place where the Yi Guan monsters hanged themselves.

Xiao Xiang Sword Rain!

Armored Champion's Strong Fist!

Qi Yuan began his slaughter again.

The Yi Guan monsters were killed one by one.

Other Yi Guan monsters woke up in the trees.

They had no faces, no eyes, no ears, not even mouths.

But Qi Yuan could feel their anger.

If they were given mouths, Qi Yuan was sure he would hear a series of beautiful curses.

"Your ******"

Of course, these Yi Guan monsters couldn't talk, couldn't curse Qi Yuan, they could only attack Qi Yuan, venting their anger.

Unfortunately, they all became Qi Yuan's experience babies.

Qi Yuan weaved in and out, comparable to Zhao Yun and Wen Yang.

After a few hours, seeing the Yi Guan monsters regroup, Qi Yuan left without a trace.

Afterwards, Qi Yuan dug a pit and buried himself.

He was reflecting.

"The Yi Guan monsters are regrouping faster."

"It seems they are also growing."

"But I am also growing, another level up, but it will get slower from now on."

After summarizing, Qi Yuan opened the chat interface.

As usual, he replied to a series of messages from Jin Li.

Jin Li's messages were fragmented, mentioning things like floods in a region from the memorials, which made her worried; or that her horse suddenly went crazy today, and she almost got hurt.

Qi Yuan slowly replied, then shared his daily routine in the game with Jin Li.

In a short while, he sent a series of messages.

"Getting late, time to log off."

Qi Yuan felt he had spent enough time in the game.

At this moment, to his surprise, Jin Li sent a message.

"Still up so late?" Qi Yuan wanted to look up at the moon, but couldn't see it from the pit.

"Had a lot to do today." Jin Li said, feeling a sense of peace in her tired heart.

"Today I met Aunt Qin. With the imperial medicine picked from Xuan Yuan Forbidden Land, her injuries have healed significantly."

Jin Li slowly recounted the day's events.

She didn't like spreading negative energy, so she tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Your mission difficulty is quite high." Qi Yuan thought that if he were in Jin Li's position, he might not do as well as her.

After all, court politics were all about human relationships, and he only knew how to fight and kill.
