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

Chapter 316: Demon Suppression Bureau

With Huang Mao's loud shout, the other four men around him closed in on Qi Yuan.

Their faces showed a fierce and evil expression, rubbing their fists, with a mischievous smirk in their eyes.

At this moment, Qi Yuan swung his fist and said coldly, "Tian Yan's law, those who enslave demons shall be executed without mercy!"

Huang Mao laughed, "What time is it? Still talking about Tian Yan's law!"

However, his smile froze as he saw a pair of iron fists, striking his chest with a speed he couldn't react to.

Stomach acid churned, Huang Mao's vision filled with stars, his eyes bulging with bloodshot veins. He hunched over, resembling a cooked lobster, with bloodshot eyes exposed.

The burly men beside him were stunned, their bodies paused, unable to react.

But the young man in front of them, with a red cloth covering his fist, looked at Huang Mao with a disdainful expression. "When was the last time you took a bath? Luckily, I had the foresight to cover my hand with a red cloth, otherwise it would have been dirty from your chest hair."

Unfortunately, Huang Mao couldn't even respond to Qi Yuan's words.

At this moment, he couldn't even catch his breath.

Not far away, Xiao Mei's eyes widened, as the scene in front of her exceeded her expectations.

However, before she could recover from her shock, Qi Yuan casually pulled out a butcher knife from a pile of firewood.

"No wonder ancient people used knives for killing, while modern people use guns, it's to avoid dirtying their hands."

Qi Yuan held the butcher knife, realizing another truth.

A cold light flashed, and Qi Yuan's body suddenly jumped up, using the force of his body's descent, swish swish swish, a perfectly good head fell to the ground.

Blood splattered, adding a touch of red to this festive day.

Qi Yuan's movements were quick, taking advantage of the time before the head hit the ground, he swung the butcher knife again.

Blood mist sprayed, the smell of blood hadn't even had time to spread.

The people present heard the sound of heads falling to the ground.

Qi Yuan held the kitchen knife, his eyes filled with killing intent, like a god of slaughter.

The original Huang Siye squinted his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise. "Blood Martial Artist... you're actually a Blood Martial Artist!"

But it was only surprise.

"You've hidden deep enough, actually breaking through to become a Blood Martial Artist without making a sound, stepping onto the path of Transcendence." Huang Siye sighed, his voice filled with admiration. "However, don't think that becoming a Blood Martial Artist means you don't know the heights of heaven and earth. You can't run wild in Yunyan County!"

Huang Siye's eyes were filled with arrogance. He reached out his hand and pulled out a cane.

The cane was pure white like jade, clearly not an ordinary item.

"This cane is made from the bones of a Blood Martial Artist." Huang Siye looked kind, speaking in a gentle tone. "He, just like you, relied on some abilities and acted lawlessly. My eldest brother's grandson took a liking to his pregnant wife, which was an honor for his wife."

"But who knew, his wife was just as foolish as him and ended up dead on my great-nephew's bed, biting his mouth and drawing blood."

"We hadn't even come to trouble him yet, but he, relying on his abilities, came to cause trouble in our Huang Family."

"My eldest brother saw that he was so arrogant, so he killed him."

"I saw that his bones were quite strong, so I asked my eldest brother for a few Root Bones and made this cane."

"Oh, by the way, the beads on the cane are made from his wife's skull!"

Huang Siye said calmly.

Xiao Mei, who was next to him, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

The demons in Yunyan County really did eat people.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan remained calm. "Your setup is indeed that of a major villain."

"I didn't expect that the boss of the villain in my game would actually be in a game within the game."

His mood didn't fluctuate at all.

This made Huang Siye slightly surprised.

He said these words, firstly as a matter of course, to warn Qi Er, and secondly, to make Qi Yuan angry.

Blood Martial Artists... their bloodline is naturally incomplete, prone to anger and losing their rationality.

At this time, their strength may increase slightly, but their speed and agility will greatly decrease.

Huang Siye's greatest strength lies in his speed.

As a result, his words unexpectedly did not anger Qi Yuan.

"You are smarter than the owner of this bone, but your intelligence is limited!"

With Huang Siye's voice, his originally weak body leaped lightly, like a nimble monkey.

The cane in his hand also fiercely attacked Qi Yuan's back.

Qinghe Points the Sky!

What Huang Siye displayed was none other than Monster Race martial arts.

This martial arts was renowned for its speed. After reaching Great Accomplishment, one could attack a person thirteen times in an instant.

One strike could seriously injure an ordinary Blood Martial Artist, let alone thirteen strikes.

Qi Yuan immediately felt a gust of wind on his back.

He smiled in his eyes. "Footwork!"

His figure flashed, avoiding Qinghe Points the Sky.

"The martial arts in this game... are quite interesting, and they give you many blessings."

Martial arts and Daoism are two different concepts.

It could even be said that fighting with techniques and fighting with martial arts are also two different concepts.

The experience from Ash Water World cannot be completely applied here.

However, Qi Yuan was not lacking in experience in martial arts battles.

During his time in the Moonwatch Continent, he had pierced through the heavens with the Heavenly Absolute Kill, so he was not lacking in martial arts experience.

Facing Huang Siye, he completely overwhelmed him.

The only advantage Huang Siye had over him was martial arts, or rather, martial techniques.

This kind of bloodline martial technique could bring forth the hidden power in one's blood and unleash a powerful force.

This was similar to the spells in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Now, Qi Yuan, when converted into an Immortal Cultivator, was like someone who had a realm but no spells.

"But... I have skills!"

Heaven-Cutting Sword Technique!

Since becoming powerful, Qi Yuan rarely used skills anymore.

His skill was universal in the Myriad Worlds.

This time, he directly displayed it!

A powerful gust of wind swept through, and the butcher knife in Qi Yuan's hand seemed to be smeared with blood, descending from the sky.

Crack.

The cleaver fell on Huang Siye's head, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that Qi Er, who had just entered the Qi and Blood Realm, would kill him with a single strike?

And what was that sword just now?

Qi Yuan sheathed his sword, a happy smile in his eyes. "Not bad, I finally found the feeling of playing a game and gained three drops of blood."

From Huang Siye's body, Qi Yuan extracted three drops of blood.

These three drops of blood were the essence of the monster and the most valuable thing to Qi Yuan.

On the ground lay the corpse of a yellow rat wolf, emitting a foul smell.

Xiao Mei stood not far away, trembling, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Qi Ge, you can't drink this blood. Without the government's Tranquil Blood Pill, drinking monster blood will drive you insane!"

Qi Yuan recalled many memories in his mind, but he had never heard of Tranquil Blood Pill.

"How do you know so much? Are you a special NPC?" Qi Yuan looked at Xiao Mei expectantly.

Xiao Mei's body trembled, and Qi Yuan's words confused her. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "I won't pretend anymore. Actually... I am from the Jiangcuo Zhao Family."

"I've never heard of it." Qi Yuan shook his head.

"The Jiangcuo Zhao Family is a martial dao family that often escorts caravans..."

"Get to the point."

"I once heard that the most precious thing on a monster's body is its essence blood.

Taking their essence can enhance one's strength.

Moreover, taking the essence of the Monster Race can greatly improve one's mastery of martial arts.

However, the blood of monsters is poisonous. For ordinary martial artists, it takes one to two years to digest just a drop.

Taking too much, no matter how much time is given to digest, will be useless and will cause madness, turning into a demon and being killed.

Only by taking the official-produced Tranquil Blood Pill can one slightly increase the intake of monster blood.

However, it still cannot be taken in large quantities, as it will drive one insane!" Xiao Mei said nervously.

In simple terms, the cultivation of martial artists, following the proper path, involves devouring the blood of monsters as a shortcut.

But taking shortcuts is prone to backlash, causing madness, becoming a demon, and ultimately exploding and dying.

The Tranquil Blood Pill can eliminate the toxicity in the blood of monsters, allowing martial artists to take in a bit more of their essence.

But it still cannot be taken in large quantities, as it will result in death.

"Oh, I see. I understand," Qi Yuan shrugged.

Indeed, players are treated preferentially.

Does he need the Tranquil Blood Pill?

No, he doesn't.

Moreover, there are restrictions on taking the Tranquil Blood Pill, but he... obtained the Devouring Origin from the Holy Mother.

The Devouring Origin is said to be able to devour all things. It should be no problem to devour the essence of a Monster Race.

"It's fine, I'm a player, and I have proof. Even if I go crazy, I'm not afraid." Qi Yuan put away the three drops of blood and didn't take them for the time being.

According to Xiao Mei, the essence not only enhances strength but also improves mastery of martial arts.

This must be kept.

The martial art Huang Siye just displayed impressed him.

Since he wants to complete this game, he must learn the martial arts in this game.

It's useless to foolishly cultivate martial arts. Where's the shortcut of using monster blood to gain an advantage?

Diligently study Martial Dao? Wrong!

Monster blood, gain an advantage! Yes.

"Qi Ge, you killed Huang Siye, hurry and run!

Huang Siye's elder brother is a monster at the Great Accomplishment stage of Blood Martial!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Mei was very worried.

Huang Siye is a monster at the early stage of Blood Martial, and in Yunyan County, he can be considered a prominent figure.

But in Yunyan County, Huang Siye can be called "ye" because of his elder brother's Great Accomplishment in Blood Martial.

"Oh? Blood Martial Great Accomplishment? Quite troublesome," Qi Yuan pondered.

Blood Martial Great Accomplishment, according to his conversion, might be comparable to the Completion stage of Qi Refining.

And his cultivation in Martial Dao is only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, the gap is quite large.

If it's just based on Martial Dao cultivation, he would probably be no match for Huang Siye.

However, if Qi Yuan uses the methods of cultivating immortality, the outcome...

"It seems that I have to act low-key." Qi Yuan has always been steady and cautious.

In this county, there may be people comparable to the Completion stage of Qi Refining, and there may even be those comparable to the Yang God stage.

He needs to be low-key.

"Huang Siye might seek revenge on me, I don't have time to protect you, so you should run away." Qi Yuan, after all, is kind-hearted and considers the NPC's well-being.

Seeing this, Xiao Mei's face showed a look of ecstatic joy. "Qi Ge, I'll leave now!"

Obviously, she had wanted to run away long ago.

She doesn't have much affection for Qi Yuan either.

After all, her own life is more important.

"I'm so tired, let's sleep, sleep, and complete the mission tomorrow."

For some reason, after the fight, Qi Yuan felt quite tired.

Estimates suggest that the Martial Dao battle consumed too much vital energy and blood.

Qi Yuan watched as Xiao Mei left with her belongings, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

...

In Yunyan County, inside the county yamen.

The county magistrate had a nervous expression as he looked at the four men and women dressed in black armor in front of him. He smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, all the files regarding the Luo and Chen families are here.

This matter is suspicious. Some say it was caused by demons, while others say that Luo Bufan, in his madness from consuming too much Monster Race blood, slaughtered both the Luo and Chen families."

The county lord looked at the four individuals, bowing his body as if facing a superior.

The four individuals in front of him were the demon hunters of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

In the current world, demons were rampant, and the reason the Tianhan Empire could stand tall was because of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

The establishment of the Demon Suppression Bureau had an unknown origin, and there were no detailed records in historical books.

Within the Demon Suppression Bureau, there gathered a group of strange Martial Artists from all over the world, whose duty was to exterminate demons.

"Alright, you may leave now." At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded.

The county magistrate, who had received the order, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and left the room.

In the room, only the four individuals remained.

If Qi Yuan were present, he would have recognized the person who spoke just now as the same Chen Fan he had encountered on the yacht.

At this moment, he was dressed in black armor, with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

The other three individuals were focused on flipping through the files. The only female demon hunter present spoke up, "Captain, what do you think of this mission?"

Chen Fan, being the strongest among them, was chosen as the captain.

They were on a mission and had come to Yunyan County.

On the surface, they appeared powerful, but in reality, it was extremely dangerous. Who knew if the county magistrate had ulterior motives?

Moreover, there were quite a few demons in Yunyan County.

They didn't dare to make a fuss, afraid of provoking those demons.

Exterminate demons?

Forget it, it's better to complete the mission and protect their lives.

If it weren't for the mission, they wouldn't actively provoke those demons.

Chen Fan put down the files and his gaze became deep. "We need to find this key figure, Luo Bufan."

"But... isn't Luo Bufan already Ascended?" someone asked.

"Ascension is definitely fake. How could an ordinary Martial Artist possibly Ascend?" the round-faced woman spoke with certainty.

"The mission mentioned this person, indicating that he is definitely not ordinary."

"It's strange. If I remember correctly, there is also a Luo Bufan in the real world who broke through the limits of Martial Dao and Ascended. Could it be the same person?" Yang Xuewen asked.

"You're new to missions, so you might not understand. This kind of thing is quite common.

Our missions often involve modifications to reality.

Some say... it might be a parallel world.

As for the specifics... I'm not sure," the round-faced woman explained.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's nostalgic expression deepened. He reminded them, "In Yunyan County, there are three local forces we shouldn't easily offend: the fish by the seaside, the yellow weasels in the gambling den, and the snakes in the Yihua Courtyard."

"Don't worry, until the mission progresses, I don't want to conflict with the local forces. Even if they are impolite, I will endure it," the round-faced woman said with an open mind.

"Yes, our top priority is to find Luo Bufan," Chen Fan said.

...

"Ah, if I were to reach Core Formation here, where would my Stellar Gold Core appear?

Is this... still the real world?"

In the early morning, Qi Yuan ate his steamed bun and looked at the sun in the sky, suddenly having a whimsical thought.

He was already on the verge of Core Formation.

"Forget it, I'll go out and cultivate. Otherwise, what's the point of appearing in the game world in the first place?"

Qi Yuan silently complained, stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, and slowly walked towards the Luo Mansion.
