The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 979 - 432: Stay further away from Qi Yuan, or you will become unfortunate.

Chapter 979: Chapter 432: Stay further away from Qi Yuan, or you will become unfortunate.

The tone of Ice Sword’s voice was distinctly sour, filled with the most evident resentment.

Once, he had been the preeminent Heaven Pride of the Black Demon Abyss.

But after Black Sword arrived, he was relegated to second place.

Black Sword was immensely talented and had even stepped into the Sun God Heavenly Venerable realm.

Ice Sword admitted he was inferior.

But... what was the deal with the Blood Robe?

Not only did he appear out of nowhere, but the old ancestor of Ziyuan Tian directly gave him... Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

How could Ice Sword keep his composure?

The surrounding Heaven Prides, upon hearing Ice Sword’s complaints, all had complex expressions on their faces.

"If Brother Black Sword received the Black Demon Ancestral Blood, we would all be convinced,"

"Someone who has only recently joined the Black Demon Abyss, not even a year in, is somehow eligible to receive the Black Demon Ancestral Blood, truly..."

The Heaven Prides present engaged in a flurry of discussions.

Ice Sword’s face darkened, and the cold aura around him grew even thicker.

He even thought about questioning his own ancestor as to why he hadn’t been given the Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

Of course, that was just a passing thought.

The ancestor was a powerhouse in the Realm of Great Ultimate Reasoning.

It wasn’t easy for him to even get a glimpse of the ancestor, let alone dare to make demands.

After all, he was not like Ziyuan Daxue, who was a direct descendent and Bloodline of the old ancestor of Ziyuan Tian.

Just then, Ziyuan Xiaolu and Qi Yuan appeared amidst the crowd.

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes fell upon Ziyuan Xiaolu and Qi Yuan.

Confusion, envy, jealousy, desire...

All sorts of gazes were present.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan secretly transmitted his voice to Ziyuan Xiaolu, "There are too many nosy men and women in your Black Demon Abyss, we’re dressed very conservatively, not at all revealing, yet so many people are staring at us!"

Ziyuan Xiaolu’s toes tensed, her hands clutching the corners of her clothes, her face slightly red.

She really wanted to tell Qi Yuan that all these people were looking at him, not her.

"Stop looking at the girl over there, didn’t you see Ziyuan Xiaolu is so shy she’s wringing her hands?"

"Stop looking at me too, I have social anxiety. If I get angry, I’ll fling my snot at you!"

"Keep this up, and I’ll have to accuse you of taking unauthorized photos, sexual harassment!"

In the end, it was the brave Qi Yuan who stood up. He overcame his social anxiety and stared defiantly amidst the crowd.

The surrounding Heaven Prides heard this and were somewhat baffled.

They didn’t quite understand what Qi Yuan was talking about.

At this moment, Ziyuan Daxue burst into laughter, "If you want to look at someone, look at An Xunlu, she’s wearing less!"

An Xunlu’s expression remained unchanged; to her, the body was nothing more than a filthy shell, only the Soul was of the utmost importance.

"Sister Niujiao, freedom of dress is a thing, no matter how An Xunlu dresses, we shouldn’t brazenly stare!" Qi Yuan stated.

"Hmph, you were the one preaching about freedom of speech last time, so why are you trying to shut me up now?" Ziyuan Daxue spoke triumphantly.

That remark left Qi Yuan speechless again.

There was a feeling of his "worldview" collapsing.

In conversations with Sister Niujiao, she always managed to find loopholes in his words.

With Qi Yuan’s intelligence, it would be simple to refute, but...

As someone who was not skilled in conversation, had social anxiety, and was introverted, isn’t it normal to be reluctant to speak up and argue?

What was most important... he couldn’t be bothered to think too hard.

Convincing the other party with logic was less appealing than simply using his fists to do the talking.

So at this moment, Qi Yuan was silent and at a loss for words.

At the same time, he was reflecting on himself.

He still had many shortcomings, and his words often had loopholes... contradictions that needed resolving.

"No, I need to comprehend an Ultimate Reasoning principle to overcome this shortcoming!"

"In the future, when facing Sister Niujiao... I won’t need to use my brain to win!"

Qi Yuan thought earnestly.

He would think harder when he took part in the Ultimate Reasoning and Discourse Assembly.

One should only use their brain where it matters.

Otherwise, thinking all the time is too tiring; it needs to be well-maintained.

And at that moment, Ice Sword’s gaze, as tangible as it was, was trained on Qi Yuan as if trying to discern what virtues and abilities he possessed to be so highly regarded by the ancestors and to be gifted with the Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

However, just then, a vast voice came from the heavens.

"Silence!"

"Listen!"

The sky of the Black Demon Heaven darkened in an instant, becoming pitch-black.

Atop a mountain peak, a man in white robes appeared, his robes fluttering, his face jade-like, and his demeanor free and easy.

In stark contrast to the overall dark hues of the Black Demon Heaven, this man was entirely cloaked in white, akin to a warm light.

"We pay our respects to Black Sword Senior Brother!"

All the Heaven Prides, including Ice Sword, bowed their heads, gazing from afar at the man on the mountain summit, who was as refined as jade.

Having grown accustomed to acting, Qi Yuan also bowed slightly.

"Today, I will be the one to instruct you."

Black Sword sat at the peak, distinguished and noble, like a transcendent and otherworldly immortal.

An Xunlu gazed at Black Sword, her eyes filled with admiration and respect.

The other Heaven Prides, no matter how rebellious, showed awe in the presence of Black Sword.

Part of the awe stemmed from Black Sword’s formidable strength as a Sun God Heavenly Venerable.

Another part came from Black Sword’s exceptional talent that even the nine elders of the Black Demon Abyss felt inferior to.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Nearly a thousand Heaven Prides called out in unison and sat to one side.

The discrepancies and minor schemes from before faded away with Black Sword’s arrival.

"The instruction today will be about the Sun God," Black Sword spoke, his voice refined and soothing like a gentle spring breeze.

Qi Yuan sat next to Ziyuan Xiaolu, looking somewhat indifferent.

He whispered to her,

"This is a bit advanced for me, I’d rather learn about the Yin God."

As just a Purple Mansion, if converted to Blue Star terms, Qi Yuan was still in junior high, listening to college-level calculus was indeed advanced.

Ziyuan Xiaolu quietly replied, "Senior Brother is exceptionally gifted, you don’t need to listen to his teachings."

Her gaze toward Qi Yuan was filled with admiration.

"I’m not one to rest on my laurels; it’s good to listen to others and open my mind," Qi Yuan said.

"Xiao Lu also has doubts in her cultivation journey; could Senior Brother spare some time to guide me when you’re free?" Ziyuan Xiaolu asked expectantly with batting eyelids.
