The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 613 - 281: Should a Mentally Ill Person Look for a Job?

Chapter 613: Chapter 281: Should a Mentally Ill Person Look for a Job?

Language is such a strange thing.

You never know what it might represent behind the scenes.

Qi Yuan didn’t dwell on these thoughts any longer, but sat down to think about something else.

"I can’t cultivate the ’Qi Yuan Sutras’ here. I need to cultivate a simplified version."

In this game world, Qi Yuan was focused on improving his strength.

Since he hadn’t found a clear channel for leveling up by killing monsters, all he could do was cultivate.

The ’Qi Yuan Sutras’ were quite complex to practice, not to mention the Stellar Gold Core; even just Heavenly Foundation Establishment was hard to replicate.

So Qi Yuan decided to create a "castrated" version of the ’Qi Yuan Sutras’ for his cultivation.

To enhance his own strength.

After all, this body had fused with the Primordial Chaos Seed, so the cultivation level returned to his original body was no longer the pathetic, negligible amount of the past.

Qi Yuan’s current plan was to quickly advance his realm and gain the ability to protect himself.

And then to participate in the martial arts tournament.

After all, if his talent in martial arts was not up to par, and he couldn’t win at the martial arts tournament, he still had Dao methods, right?

It seemed there was no rule against using Immortal Laws in the martial arts tournament.

Outside the Military Security Community, two men and a woman carrying fruits were chatting and laughing as they walked towards Qi Yuan’s home.

Wang Xu touched his glasses. With his tall stature, he was the center of attention among the three.

In college, Wang Xu was the class president and, using his family’s connections along with his own efforts, worked at the Maritime Bureau.

The maritime hegemony of Qin Yuan Nation was unmatched in the Vault Star world, and with flourishing maritime trade, a job in the Maritime Bureau was highly coveted.

Such a respectable job naturally made the other classmates envious.

"Li Yan, what, do you still have thoughts about Qi Yuan?"

Li Yan had her hair tied in a high ponytail, her long legs clad in flared pants. She was tall and slender, though her looks were only above average. Today, she wore light makeup, her eyes conveying a hint of melancholy.

Laughing in response to Wang Xu’s words, she said, "I was young and didn’t understand things, but now..."

She shook her head.

In college, she had been infatuated with Qi Yuan.

After all, Qi Yuan’s appearance stood out in their class.

She had always wanted to pursue Qi Yuan, but unfortunately, she was rejected.

Later, when she learned that Qi Yuan had developed a mental illness, she instantly distanced herself from him.

Qi Yuan might have a handsome face, but she was not willing to marry someone with mental issues.

If her other girlfriends found out, it’d be too embarrassing.

One of her dormitory sisters had gotten pregnant right after graduating and even married a youth from a small town below the county level.

Though they appeared supportive, behind her back they had said plenty of harsh words about that roommate, implying she had gone mad for marrying below her status and ruining her life.

With such a precedent in mind, Li Yan would never want any real attachment with Qi Yuan.

A one-night stand maybe, but marriage was out of the question.

Otherwise, she would be the joke of the town.

"Ah, Qi Yuan’s fate is really tough, an orphan who finally made it to university, only to develop a mental illness, and now... has contracted a serious illness. I wonder how he is now," the buzz-cut man said, his eyes filled with a look of pity.

However, his expression seemed to contain a trace of greed which was very well hidden; no one present noticed.

"Ah, misfortune favors those who are already unfortunate," Wang Xu sighed with a sense of sympathy for the suffering of others.

Before long, the group of three knocked on the door of Qi Yuan’s home.

The buzz-cut man looked around, seemingly very satisfied.

Soon, the door was opened.

Qi Yuan stood at the doorway, looking at the three people outside, his expression calm, "Old classmates, you’ve come. Please, come in and have a seat."

Surprise flashed across Wang Xu’s face, but he quickly concealed it, "Qi Yuan, your complexion... why is it so pale?"

Qi Yuan now looked like someone who was seriously ill, as though he could die at any moment.

"Hmm, I’ve been sick," Qi Yuan answered truthfully.

Looking at the three former classmates before him, memories flooded back like a tidal wave.

When he still had the Primordial Chaos Seed, they had also come to see Qi Yuan.

But Qi Yuan had been lying in a hospital bed, always asleep or unconscious, unable to speak, and naturally, there was no communication.

"Have you... gone to the hospital? Is it serious?" Li Yan asked, her concern evident.

After all, seeing a former heartthrob reduced to his current state, potentially close to death, she felt a bit emo. Was this the price of growing up?

"Not serious, it’s just a minor issue," Qi Yuan waved it off.

Once he starts to cultivate as an immortal cultivator, would these issues even be considered issues?

Of course, as for physical problems similar to curses, he couldn’t deal with that for the time being, but becoming a normal person and delaying the recurrence of the curse was still manageable.

"This is a minor issue? Look at your complexion!" Li Yan couldn’t help but exclaim, her eyes reddening as if she was genuinely heartbroken for Qi Yuan.

Even though she didn’t look up to Qi Yuan anymore, she still didn’t want to see him die so young.

"Li Yan, you’re overthinking it. Qi Yuan is standing up and talking to us now, so the problem shouldn’t be serious," the buzz-cut man reassured.

Indeed, if he was gravely ill, he would have to be lying in a hospital bed.

The fact that he could stand up and talk meant the problem wasn’t that severe.

"Yes, I’m quite well. I can eat six steamed buns in one meal," Qi Yuan said and then sat down in a chair.

Even though the pain wasn’t much for him, he had no masochistic tendencies, so he would do whatever was most comfortable.

"In a few days, my illness will be all better," Qi Yuan stated confidently.

His words also eased the worries of the others present.

At that moment, Wang Xu asked, "Qi Yuan, you haven’t found a job yet, have you?

Would you like me to introduce you to one? The pay isn’t high, but the job is relaxing and very stable."
