The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 704 - 317

Chapter 704: 317

"This newcomer... seems unreliable, but my intuition tells me he certainly has something out of the ordinary, some secrets." The man in black spoke softly.

An Qiao smiled mischievously, "Perhaps, he has encountered a Cultivator and mastered a Spell."

The man in black recalled the conversations they had had all along and nodded in agreement.

"Unfortunately, here, Martial Arts are supreme, and possessing trivial Immortal Laws is hardly worth mentioning," the man in black seriously responded.

The cultivation of Immortal Law, compared to Martial Arts, requires much longer time.

Moreover, arriving in this Underworld, one’s Cultivation Level would be reduced by a whole rank.

So to speak, it’s not worth mentioning at all.

"Who doesn’t have some secrets? You have them, I have them, and even our captain has them," An Qiao said with a light smile, leading the big black dog, "Fatty Dog, let’s go."

Fatty Dog was muttering at this time, "Actually, I have secrets too."

But no one paid any attention to what it said.

Inside the inn.

Qi Yuan was drinking tea while looking at a parchment scroll.

[This is a set of Martial Arts Techniques, incomplete with 124 flaws, with the potential for improvement...]

Qi Yuan’s eyes could see hidden information.

To him, this set of Martial Arts Techniques had no great secret.

"What a pity, the Techniques I have mastered are too few to make up for it."

For the time being, he could only make some improvements to this Technique and couldn’t deduce further.

But for Qi Yuan, this was enough.

"Now, my strength is too weak, having just entered the Qi and Blood Realm. If I saw my First Love now, I would lack confidence.

It won’t do... I need to enhance my strength."

Thinking this, Qi Yuan began to Cultivate the ’Startling Heaven Skill’.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qi Yuan opened his eyes, "The speed is too slow. At this rate, to cultivate to the middle stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, it would take at least three months."

To go from the early to the middle stage would take three months; if An Qiao knew this, she would definitely find it exaggerated, exclaiming how terrifying it was and that such a person should not be allowed to remain.

But for Qi Yuan, this speed was still too slow.

"It seems I have to add some deep blue points."

Three drops of Demon Essence Blood were floating beside Qi Yuan.

He swallowed a drop of blood and began to run the Technique.

"You have devoured a drop of Demon Clan Essence Blood, and your Martial Arts Cultivation has increased by ten days; two drops of Demon Clan Essence Blood remain."

Since Qi Yuan had no system to provide sound effects, he had to add his own.

If outsiders were to see this, they might think he was ill, but Qi Yuan was enjoying himself.

"You have swallowed another two drops of Demon Clan Essence Blood, your Cultivation speed has increased, and suddenly, you have a flash of inspiration, as if you have caught a glimpse of the key to ’Startling Heaven Skill,’ which lies within the word ’shock.’

Shock as in thunder, shock as in a startled horse, shock as in the waking of insects.

Your Cultivation advances rapidly, the equivalent of two months of arduous cultivation!"

A few breaths went by, and a flash of blood passed through Qi Yuan’s eyes.

Three drops of Demon Clan Essence Blood allowed his Cultivation to grow significantly, cutting down more than two months of his cultivation time.

"I’m becoming more versatile. Back in Wangyue Continent, I could do voiceovers for those silent monsters, and now I can... do voiceovers for the system."

"If I ever leave my job, I could pretend to be the system."

Qi Yuan was proud of his voiceover skills and was not worried about employment.

"Sigh, I’ve been working this hard; why hasn’t Grandpa Huang, that First Love substitute meal, come looking for me yet?" Qi Yuan murmured to himself.

He had just killed Fourth Lord Huang; logically, Grandpa Huang should have received the news by now.

If Grandpa Huang was a diligent and hardworking person, he would be seeking revenge by now.

However, Grandpa Huang hadn’t come.

"Generally speaking, if you beat the old one, an even older one should come.

But when the even older one doesn’t come, I can only beat the old one and then another older one."

Qi Yuan decided to take the initiative to stir up trouble for Grandpa Huang and not just wait to be attacked.

Qi Yuan obviously didn’t know that because the Demon Subduing Department had come to Yunyan County, all the demons in this area were strictly ordered not to go out at will.

These demons were all lurking in different areas.

Qi Yuan left the inn with a considerable increase in his Martial Arts Cultivation.

If he killed another Fourth Lord Huang, if he met another First Love substitute, he would reach the middle stage of the Qi and Blood Realm.

This time, his plan was to kill a few more.

Nightfall came.

Qi Yuan stopped at an abandoned mansion.

Today he went to Huang Mansion, only to find that it was empty.

Through his investigation, he had learned that all the demons of Yunyan County had gone into hiding, gathering at various strongholds and apparently holding some kind of demon ascension conference.

At this moment, Qi Yuan stood in front of the residence, his eyes revealing a relaxed demeanor, "This stronghold’s strongest is Grandpa Huang, a Qi and Blood Realm demon. The number... about twenty?"

Truth be told, it was a bit tough.

If Grandpa Huang restrained him and the other demons attacked, it would be difficult for him to retreat unscathed.

"System, you are so useless. Why do you need demon essence blood to add points?"

Qi Yuan sighed, and in nearly a single breath, he came back to his senses.

"Sorry, I was mistaken, I don’t have a system."

The current Qi Yuan was like someone who complains about his girlfriend’s faults, only to suddenly realize he doesn’t have a girlfriend.

"Heh, you’re from the Government Office, what are you looking at here?

Don’t you know, the residence ahead only allows demons to enter."

Just then, an arrogant voice came from behind Qi Yuan. A demon with a face as fierce as a thunder god but looking like a rooster approached, with a menacing presence.

His appearance was sinister and chilling to the bone.

He looked at Qi Yuan, his gaze flickering as if he might eat Qi Yuan if the timing weren’t right.

"Chicken?" Qi Yuan recognized at once that the other party was a rooster demon.

It was his first time seeing a male chicken.

"Although I’m not a demon, my wife is a demon, so naturally, I qualify to go inside. I’m her added burden of a husband!" Qi Yuan declared, lifting his chest and raising his head.

To see his First Love, he had paid too much.

"Your wife is a demon?" The Rooster Spirit was surprised, then a look of disdain grew even stronger in his eyes, "Turns out you’re just a hairless pretty boy."

As a member of the Demon Clan, the Rooster Spirit had always looked down on the hairless Human Clans.

But some female demons liked them.

In the eyes of the Rooster Spirit, those female demons were neither fish nor fowl, plucking all the hair off their bodies and only retaining a few demon features, ugly as sin.

They were truly little female demons who worshipped humans and sought their approval.

Qi Yuan said with a chuckle, "Now I can go in, right?"

The Rooster Spirit gave Qi Yuan a cold glance, "You’ll have to ask Elder Huai, the gatekeeper tree sprite.

He has lived for aeons and can detect disguises."

After the Rooster Spirit spoke, he swaggered off, tail held high, towards the dilapidated residence.

Watching the back of the Rooster Spirit, Qi Yuan’s eyes revealed a greedy expression, "This is a Rooster Spirit, good for buying a house. If only I were a civil servant."

As Qi Yuan thought this, he saw a sudden gust of demonic wind up ahead.

An old man appeared, looking like dried tree bark.

When the Rooster Spirit saw the elder, his attitude became respectful, "Elder Huai."

The dried tree bark old man glanced lightly at the Rooster Spirit, "Rooster turns spirit, enter."

The Rooster Spirit bowed solemnly, then said, "There’s a human behind me claiming to be some female demon’s pretty boy. I find his intentions dubious, Elder Huai should inspect him thoroughly."

The dried tree bark old man looked towards Qi Yuan, his gaze growing profound.

At this point, Qi Yuan approached with a bright, dew-like smile, "Xiao Jia... come out."

As Qi Yuan’s voice echoed, space trembled slightly, and a flicker of blood-red emerged.

Next to Qi Yuan, a tall figure in a wedding dress appeared.

The big red wedding dress was of a traditional Chinese style and looked somewhat unsettling against the pitch-black night.

However, at that moment, the blood-red bridal attire lovingly clung to Qi Yuan’s side.

If she had a face, it would surely have been adorned with beautiful bridal makeup.

"This is my wife, Xiao Jia, whom I married in a grand wedding procession," Qi Yuan said, holding Xiao Jia’s cold sleeve, as he generously introduced her.

"This is..." The Rooster Spirit’s eyes bulged.

He had speculated about what kind of demon Qi Yuan’s wife could be but had never imagined... this?

In this world, had a wedding dress ever turned into a sentient demon?

It was a rare occurrence.

Elder Huai’s calm gaze also showed a trace of emotion at that moment, his eyes lingering on Xiao Jia as a strand of demonic energy flew by.

He seemed to be confirming whether Xiao Jia was a demon.

The Rooster Spirit nearby watched anxiously, eager to know the truth.

After approximately twelve breaths, Elder Huai finally spoke, his voice hoarse, "Wedding Dress Demon, enter."

Hearing this response, Qi Yuan felt quite satisfied,

He glanced at the Rooster Spirit smugly and said, "I’m going in."

The Rooster Spirit, unable to discern Xiao Jia’s Cultivation Level and wary, quickly entered the residence as well.

A few breaths later, a desolate sound drifted through the air.

"Seems like I, this old tree, will have to move again, can’t stay, can’t stay, waters too deep."
