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

In the courtyard, the scent of blood lingered in the air.
Shi Rushan and Shi Rulan, the brother and sister, had met a tragic end.

Great Wisdom True Monarch looked at the gruesome scene in the courtyard and couldn't help but say, "You were a bit too impulsive. You killed them too quickly."

Qi Yuan's actions had been swift and decisive; he had uprooted the entire Mountain of Fate and effortlessly killed Shi Rushan and Shi Rulan.

"Hmm?"

"We should have asked if there were any more birds. I haven't even tasted them yet," Great WisdomTrue Monarch said, glancing at Qi Yuan and thinking seriously.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Qi Yuan replied softly.

In his hand appeared a peculiar small wooden door.

This door was the reliance of the Mountain of Fate—the Door of Fate.

Shi Rulan had been able to summon the projection of the Chaos Bird using this Door of Fate.

However, in Qi Yuan's eyes, this Door of Fate was merely the "Myriad Door" of the Flowing Wind Realm.

Of course, this small wooden door was not the true Myriad Door; it was just a token, a symbol that could summon a faint shadow of the real Myriad Door.

"Is there a Game Door in the Myriad Door?

If so, wouldn't that mean we could play games there every day?"

Qi Yuan thought to himself.

He and Great Wisdom True Monarch returned to the Palace of Seeking Tao.

In Qinghong City, Qi Yuan's earlier shout had caused quite a stir.

However, the other Yin Gods and cultivators didn't know what had happened, leaving them with many questions.

In the days that followed, Qinghong City returned to its peaceful state.

The Original God Sharing Assembly continued to develop methodically.

The Divine Flower Assembly was in full swing.

About one-third of the entire Canglan Realm was caught up in the frenzy of uploading techniques and contributing support.

Some old cultivators who had been in seclusion also emerged, either to contribute or to upload techniques.

More and more powerful Yin Gods were heading towards the Feng Tian Domain, seemingly wanting to meet the legendary Blood-Robed Sword God.

During this period, Qi Yuan dispatched three Yin Gods to assist the Ice Mountain Queen in breaking through to the Yin God realm.

At the time, the grandfather of the Ice Mountain Queen had a rather remarkable expression when he saw the three Yin Gods.

Especially when he heard that the Blood-Robed Sword God was the same Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator his granddaughter had once mentioned as a sworn brother.

The three Yin Gods, upon meeting the Ice Mountain Queen's grandfather, immediately noticed the severe injuries on his body.

His injuries were grave, and he had less than a century of lifespan left.

The three Yin Gods had come from afar, knowing the close relationship between the Ice Mountain Queen and the Blood-Robed Sword God. In return for this relationship, they decided to help, and the three Yin Gods worked together to treat the injuries of the Ice Mountain Queen's grandfather.

The three Yin Gods joined forces and used precious treasures, making it relatively easy to heal the injuries on the old man's body by seventy to eighty percent.

The number of techniques in the Original God Sharing Assembly was increasing.

The techniques collected by the Divine Flower Assembly had also reached a staggering level.

Various posts appeared on the forum:

"Haha, I got a mid-tier Heaven-grade technique!"

"Someone help me! The Heaven-grade technique I exchanged for was stolen!"

"Hurry to find the Blood-Robed Sword God to uphold justice."

"100 isn't perfection!"

"Friends, keep it up, and let's all have divine techniques!"

"Never thought in this life I could hope for divine techniques, thanks to the Divine Flower Assembly, thanks to the Blood-Robed Sword God."

"I've decided—I want both my senior sister and junior sister."

At this time, the accumulation of techniques in the Divine Flower Assembly reached an alarming number.

The total progress bar was stuck at 99% for two days.

Even so, there was no complaint among the cultivators on the Divine Flower Assembly forum; they encouraged each other.

With divine techniques just one step away, the speed of uploading techniques increased.

On a spirit boat heading to the Dashang Kingdom, Jiang Ruhua, dressed in a dark blue robe, looked calm.

"This Blood-Robed Sword God of the Divine Flower Assembly has some tricks. This ninety-nine percent has been stuck for two days."

On the way to Dashang, he inevitably got involved with the Divine Flower Assembly.

His personal progress bar had reached 51%, making it hard to increase further.

So his attention was on the total progress bar of the Divine Flower Assembly.

Jiang Ruhua thought, glancing at the young man beside him. The overly handsome man beside him was also playing with a Divine Flower Assembly jade slip.

Jiang Ruhua, taking the stance of an experienced person, said to the young man beside him,

"I suspect this ninety-nine percent might be stuck for at least a year or so. After all, it's a divine technique. Whether the Blood-Robed Sword God is willing to give it out is another question, and whether it exists is another matter entirely."

This handsome young man was someone Jiang Ruhua had met on the spirit boat.

After all, on the spirit boat heading to the Dashang Kingdom, there were only a handful of cultivators with a Divine Flower Assembly jade slip. The aura of this handsome young man was quite mysterious, making it hard for him to discern his cultivation level, which is why they had become somewhat acquainted.

The handsome young man looked up, a smile in his eyes, "My friend, a person like the Blood-Robed Sword God is a man of his word. How could he deceive anyone?

I dare to bet that in three days, the progress bar will reach 100%, and everyone will have access to the divine techniques!"

"The words of those high-level cultivators should be dismissed as hot air.

After all, it's a divine technique, something the Canglan Realm might not even have. Who would be willing to make it public? Even if it is made public, I bet it's a fragmented version!" Jiang Ruhua stated confidently.

"My friend, you're being too cynical," the handsome young man laughed. "I'm ninety percent sure that in three days, the divine technique will be revealed."

The handsome young man spoke with confidence.

He was so confident because he was Qi Yuan himself, and regarding the progress bar, it would likely be full in about three days.

There was another reason: three days later, the game icon would also load completely, and he was eager to enter the game, so he naturally wouldn't hold back the divine techniques any longer.

A mere divine technique.

He wouldn't be so stingy as to keep it for himself.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruhua just smiled without saying anything.

He thought of something and changed the subject, "Friend, are you from Dashang? Do you know Qi Yuan of the Shenguang Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, "Of course I know him! He's the number one Nascent Soul of Dashang, the most handsome man in Dashang, powerful, intolerant of evil, graceful and elegant... the absolute ruler of Dashang!"

Qi Yuan used all the words he knew to describe himself.

Jiang Ruhua was a bit stunned upon hearing this, then squinted his eyes.

"It seems you admire him quite a bit," Jiang Ruhua thought to himself.

The Shenguang Sect was considered the top power in Dashang, and a Nascent Soul True Monarch was indeed capable of being tyrannical in Dashang.

For a cultivator from Dashang to admire him so much was quite normal.

"I admire him as much as I admire myself!" Qi Yuan said seriously.

At this point, Great Wisdom True Monarch chimed in, "Not only is he the number one Nascent Soul in Dashang, but he is also the number one Nascent Soul in the Eastern Lands, and even the number one Nascent Soul in the Canglan Realm!"

Jiang Ruhua glanced at Great Wisdom True Monarch but didn't continue the conversation.

He realized he had encountered a fanboy of his daughter's senior brother.

Dashang's number one Nascent Soul was acceptable, but claiming he was the number one Nascent Soul in the Eastern Lands or even the Canglan Realm was a bit too much.

"If I'm not mistaken, only Kang Fulu from the Shenguang Sect has made it onto the Eastern Lands' Genius List from the land of a hundred nations.

It seems Qi Yuan isn't as good as Kang Fulu in many ways," Jiang Ruhua said.

"I've seen Kang Fulu; he's no match for Qi Yuan," Great Wisdom True Monarch glanced at Qi Yuan. "If they fought, Kang Fulu wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from Qi Yuan."

"Hmph, just bullying the weak and deceiving the young!" Jiang Ruhua thought of Qi Yuan and felt depressed.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch, around a thousand years old, actually going after his daughter, who was not yet twenty.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't hold back: "How can you tarnish someone's reputation out of thin air?

Qi Yuan should be quite young."

Saying that Kang Fulu was weaker was one thing, but calling him old was something he couldn't tolerate.

He was still very young, in the prime of his life.

"No matter how young he is, can he be younger than you?" Jiang Ruhua couldn't help but retort.

The man before him was full of vitality, clearly still very young and in his prime. As for that Qi Yuan, to have reached the Nascent Soul stage in the Dashang Kingdom, he must have spent many years, likely nearing his life's end, practically an old man.

"The same age as me," Qi Yuan muttered under his breath, then asked, "Friend, do you know Qi Yuan? Why do you speak of him with such animosity?"

Jiang Ruhua didn't answer directly.

After all, he couldn't just say that he had traveled all the way to the Dashang Kingdom just because of the matter between his daughter and Qi Yuan.

That would be too embarrassing.

After some thought, Jiang Ruhua changed the topic, "You said earlier that the Blood-Robed Sword God will reveal the divine technique in three days, right? How about we add my jade slip to it and see who’s right in three days?"

Qi Yuan chuckled at this: "If you lose the bet, you'll have to apologize to me on the Divine Flower Assembly forum, using your real name!"

Unfortunately, the Divine Flower Assembly didn't support video posts, otherwise, it would have been much more amusing to make this friend apologize in a video.

"You seem quite confident... Hmm? Are you the Origin Heavenly Lord?" Jiang Ruhua exclaimed in surprise.

He had been following the Divine Flower Assembly forum and knew that the Origin Heavenly Lord was one of the more popular figures on the forum lately.

This person often shared updates about the progress of uploading techniques, especially interesting stories from within their sect.

Stories about a busty junior sister and a cold senior sister, for example.

Judging by the content of his posts, the Origin Heavenly Lord was most certainly a Golden Core cultivator.

"Heh heh, have you chosen between your junior sister or your senior sister?" Jiang Ruhua grinned with a somewhat lewd smile.

"That's all fake, I made it up," Qi Yuan quickly denied.

There was no junior sister or senior sister—it was all fabricated.

"Sigh, why be so shy, my friend? We're all fellow male cultivators; I understand you.

Back in the day, I was in a similar situation—one was a junior sister, the other was a senior sister." Jiang Ruhua's expression turned nostalgic, as if reminiscing about the past. "Later on, I successfully married my junior sister!"

Saying this, Jiang Ruhua looked quite pleased with himself. "From your descriptions, it seems your senior sister is somewhat arrogant and comes from a distinguished background.

In my opinion, you should go for the junior sister. Otherwise, your life in the future... sigh."

Jiang Ruhua sighed, as if he had been through a lot.

"From what you said, it sounds like your junior sister has deep feelings for you. As for your senior sister, she seems a bit distant and lukewarm," Jiang Ruhua continued.

Qi Yuan somewhat agreed with Jiang Ruhua's analysis.

When he was fabricating the stories, the junior sister character had Jiang Lingsu as a reference and was written with more authenticity.

The senior sister, on the other hand, seemed somewhat hollow.

"It seems from what you’ve shared that your junior sister's father is rather difficult to deal with. His relationship with the sect master is unclear, and he looks down on you, favoring the sect master’s daughter instead.

This is easy to handle—heh heh. Since the junior sister already has deep feelings for you, find a night with a full moon, under the mutual affection, and cook the rice until it's done.

Once you've married your junior sister, take her to see your future father-in-law. What can he do—beat you up?" Jiang Ruhua shared his "successful" experience, stroking his beard and looking quite proud.

Qi Yuan was at a loss for words.

This wasn't something he would do.

More importantly, everything he had shared was made up.

"Friend, if you follow my advice, you'll surely marry your junior sister and bring her home.

As they say, once a daughter is married off, she's like water spilled out. Once you’re married, your junior sister will definitely side with you.

Her family background is quite substantial; she could easily provide you with some techniques to help you acquire divine techniques in the Divine Flower Assembly, and some resources as well. Who knows, in time, you might become a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

By then, even that condescending father-in-law of yours would have to bow down to you.

And if you ever reach the Purple Mansion realm, you could even metaphorically shit on his head, and he wouldn't dare say a word!" The latter part was, of course, Jiang Ruhua’s fantasy.

Unfortunately, his fantasy had yet to come true.

He was currently only in the late Nascent Soul stage, far from reaching the Purple Mansion realm.

His father-in-law, on the other hand, was a Nascent Soul perfected cultivator, much stronger than he was.

"You sure have a lot of experience," Qi Yuan flattered Jiang Ruhua, adapting his words to fit the situation.

"Young man, follow my advice, and you’ll have your beauty within half a month.

When you marry your junior sister, if I'm still in Dashang, you must invite me as a matchmaker and let me have a cup of your wedding wine!" Jiang Ruhua said proudly.

Meeting Qi Yuan reminded him of his own past days in the sect.

But after returning to his family, those days became nothing more than memories.

Qi Yuan shrugged and casually agreed, "Sure!"

Of course, he wouldn’t actually invite him.

He and his junior sister were innocent and had nothing going on between them.

Jiang Ruhua squinted his eyes and said, "Meeting you is fate. If you encounter any difficulties with your junior sister, contact me. In my spare time, I enjoy matchmaking."

"Alright," Qi Yuan nodded. He glanced at the spirit boat and said softly, "Friend, the spirit boat will stop soon. My junior sister is coming to pick me up."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruhua's smile grew even wider. "See? Your junior sister does have feelings for you."

He thought of his own daughter, and a trace of sadness crossed his heart.

His daughter hadn’t even come to pick him up!

However, the sadness quickly dissipated.

If this Origin Heavenly Lord had a daughter, she probably wouldn’t come to pick him up either.

Thinking this made him feel much more balanced.

Just then, a crisp voice rang out.

"Father, you're back!"

Qi Jianjun ran straight into Qi Yuan's arms, a bright smile on her face.

Qi Yuan looked at her, a bit helpless, "Jianjun, remember the rules between men and women!"

For a grown daughter, a father needs to maintain a proper distance.

If this scene were caught on camera and posted online, wouldn't he get criticized to death by netizens?

"Jianjun is Daddy's daughter; what's wrong with hugging you?" Qi Jianjun said as she jumped out of Qi Yuan's arms.

At this moment, Jiang Ruhua was stunned. He looked at Qi Yuan, "You have a daughter?"

"Yes," Qi Yuan nodded vigorously. "The stories I posted on the Divine Flower Assembly forum were mostly fictional.

I don't have any senior sister, nor do I have..."

"But Dad, you do have a busty junior sister!" Qi Jianjun giggled, "When will you bring her home? Wouldn't that make her... my third mother?"

Qi Jianjun thought seriously.

Her biological mother was Jin Li.

Her second mother was Ning Tao.

As for the third mother, Qi Jianjun figured it would be Jiang Lingsu.

"Stop talking nonsense," Qi Yuan was embarrassed.

It seemed he couldn’t just make things up anymore, seeing how much everyone misunderstood.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ruhua, standing nearby, heard Qi Jianjun's words and widened his eyes, "Friend, your ways are this advanced?"

He felt a bit ashamed.

According to this little girl, the man before him already had two Dao companions.

Judging by the situation, his Dao companions were getting along quite well.

And now, he was considering a third Dao companion.

This made him both envious and jealous and also guilty about his earlier advice.

He secretly sent a message to Qi Yuan, "Friend, how did you manage to have two Dao companions and still hook up with more?

Teach me!

I will be greatly indebted to you!"

Jiang Ruhua seemed genuinely curious.
