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

Chapter 6: Walking the Pet

"Heavenly Dao fragments?"

"This game is quite generous. The rewards are pretty substantial."

As a person from Blue Star, Qi Yuan was very familiar with Heavenly Dao fragments.

After all, defying the heavens had long become a cliché.

But regardless, Heavenly Dao fragments were definitely valuable.

"It seems the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone has become mine?"

Qi Yuan accepted the Heavenly Dao fragments.

He felt as if the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone had become his territory.

"Interesting," Qi Yuan muttered.

The Heavenly Dao fragments seemed to grant control over the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone.

Receiving the fragments felt like becoming the game's GM.

"So, is the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone mine now?"

Qi Yuan wasn't overly excited.

"Are the Heavenly Dao fragments just this? Or do I need to collect all the fragments for them to be truly useful?"

He shifted his attention from the fragments to the Divine Brush.

"The Divine Brush, condensed by the power of rules, can inscribe rules in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone?"

"For instance, specifying the conditions to enter the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone?"

"Wouldn't that mean anyone carrying a ladder could get in?"

Qi Yuan recalled a funny trend he had seen on Blue Star: anyone with a ladder could seemingly go anywhere—cinemas, amusement parks, zoos. As long as they had a ladder, the staff wouldn't stop them.

Thinking about it, Qi Yuan inscribed a rule in the Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone:

Carrying a ladder grants free passage.

"Looks like it's getting late. Time to walk my pet."

Qi Yuan rubbed his tired eyes.

Playing this game too much was mentally exhausting for him.

This was partly why he sometimes seemed disoriented and unreliable in the Shenguang Sect.

Of course, it wasn't entirely the game's fault.

His personality was also a factor.

He often appeared... a bit eccentric.

Qi Yuan tidied up and prepared to walk his pet and visit Zhuge Miao.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lingsu also emerged from her straw house.

She had spent the entire day fixing up her place and was now thinking of going down the mountain to buy some daily necessities.

At that moment, she heard footsteps and looked over.

Senior Brother was going out?
However, she was stunned when she saw Senior Brother.

"Senior Brother, what are you doing?" Jiang Lingsu asked, her face full of confusion.

In her view, Qi Yuan was still wearing the white robe from earlier today. But unlike before, he was holding a rope.

It looked like he was walking a pet.

But that pet... was that really a pet?

It was... a kitchen knife!

Yes, the other end of the rope was tied to a kitchen knife.

And Qi Yuan was walking the kitchen knife. This scene was too bizarre.

"I'm walking my pet," Qi Yuan said calmly. "It's been cooped up in the house for too long; its legs are going to rust. It needs some fresh air."

A kitchen knife with legs?
Taking a walk to prevent rust?
Does he think it's a magical iron?

It was obviously an ordinary kitchen knife.

She was now certain that her senior brother had some mental issues.

"Senior Brother has peculiar tastes," Jiang Lingsu managed to say.

"Are you going down the mountain? Want to come along?" Qi Yuan invited.

"No!" Jiang Lingsu quickly refused. "Senior Brother, you go ahead. I'll go later."

Walking with a senior brother and his kitchen knife would draw too much attention.
That would be too embarrassing!
Qi Yuan glanced at Jiang Lingsu and then focused on the knife tied to the rope, speaking with concentration, "Behave, don't try to break free from the rope, or you'll be beaten to death, and I won't save you."

Qi Yuan still had some manners; he walked his pet on a leash.

Unlike some people who let their pets run loose.

His pet was better kept on a leash, otherwise, his Eight Summer Slashes might come into play, and that wouldn't be good.

Holding the rope, he slowly walked down the Seven Colors Peak.

The night breeze was cool, and the sun in the sky was fading.

Walking his pet, Qi Yuan felt particularly relaxed.

Playing games too much made his eyes hurt, and his fingers hurt too.

Blowing in the wind, walking, and looking at beautiful women was not bad either.

After all, this was a world of cultivation, with a much higher probability of encountering beautiful women than in his previous life.

Not to mention, they all had fair skin.

Their faces had no obvious flaws.

Even without makeup, they looked great.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan." A tall young woman greeted Qi Yuan. She wore a short skirt, her legs long and as white as jade but not sickly pale, making her particularly attractive.

"Mm," Qi Yuan responded.

He came out almost every evening to walk his pet.

Initially, he was the only one doing it.

But as the Senior Brother of Seven Colors Peak, he had a certain celebrity effect. Walking pets slowly became popular in Shenguang Sect, with many people imitating him.

Of course, those senior brothers and sisters walked real pets, or rather, spirit beasts with combat abilities.

"Your little turtle is not bad. In a few thousand years, it might develop intelligence." Qi Yuan commented on the pet the tall woman was walking.

The tall woman felt proud hearing the first half of his sentence.

She had spent a lot of time selecting this spirit beast.

But the second half of his sentence made her a bit frustrated.

Thousands of years to develop intelligence?

Is that considered good?
Even with a good temper, she couldn't help but retort, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, when will your pet awaken its intelligence?"

Qi Yuan's pet was a kitchen knife; how could it awaken intelligence?

Many Shenguang Sect disciples nearby laughed heartily at this.

Qi Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "At most a year, or maybe very soon, it should awaken intelligence."

"Senior Brother, you must be joking," the tall woman laughed, clearly not believing him.

Qi Yuan just smiled and didn't explain.

At that moment, Zhuge Miao's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

He said, "Junior Brother Qi Yuan has modified the Spirit Refining Technique and tested it himself. Regardless of success or failure, his courage is commendable.

For you to laugh at this is to be frogs in a well."

Hearing Zhuge Miao's words, everyone present lowered their heads.

"Senior Brother's lesson is right!"

Zhuge Miao was the senior brother of the Divine Medicine Peak, a Foundation Establishment expert.

They were very afraid of him.

As for the amiable Qi Yuan, they didn't hold much reverence.

After reprimanding the crowd, Zhuge Miao walked up to Qi Yuan, "Junior Brother Qi Yuan, Master was refining medicine today, and I was attending to him, so I'm late. Please forgive me."

The domineering aura around Zhuge Miao dissipated, and he treated Qi Yuan as an equal, even with a hint of admiration.

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, I obtained a Yuan Nourishing Pill formula from an ancient cave.

However, some parts are missing. Could you help me with it?

I am willing to offer a Foundation Establishment treasure as thanks."

Zhuge Miao's attitude was very humble, in stark contrast to his previous domineering manner.

Qi Yuan took the Yuan Nourishing Pill formula and looked it over.

【This is an incomplete Yuan Nourishing Pill formula. If you replace the Zhu Huang with Privet, and the Yang Gu with Lesser Tribulus, the pill's effectiveness can be increased by fifty percent, and its toxicity reduced by one or two degrees.】
