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

Chapter 335: Would You Like a Granny?

“Hold out your hand, yes, keep it in that position, perfect.”

Three red marriage certificates appeared, Canary holding one in her hand, Xiao Jia holding another with her sleeve, and Qi Yuan holding the last one.

A camera on Zero-One's head recorded this moment.

“I used to see people with cameras on their heads in videos, and now I finally understand—they were robots!”

Qi Yuan made a new discovery today.

Canary giggled, “I can grow a camera on my head too.”

As she spoke, a camera popped up on top of her head.

Qi Yuan burst out laughing.

From Xiao Jia’s sleeve, a wooden sign with a “happy” expression slipped out.

At this moment, Zero-One said, “The video has been edited with music, and the caption is ready. The master can post it anytime.”

Qi Yuan logged into his account and found the video in his drafts.

The video didn’t show any faces—just three hands and three marriage certificates.

Of course, to be more precise, it was two hands and one sleeve.

“Finally, it’s my turn to show off!” Qi Yuan happily hit the post button.

Not far away, Xie Xinsu was confused.

Yesterday, when she saw Ning Tao, she was already a bit bewildered.

Today… she had just woken up and saw a moving wedding dress.

And… it had even gotten a marriage certificate with her cold and indifferent master.

She was completely dumbfounded.

“Is this a monster clan?”

“A puppet?”

“Or something else?”

She was filled with confusion.

Canary was clearly a cultivator, with powerful abilities, so how could she share a husband with an “alien race”?

At this moment, she felt a vague sense of apprehension.

She suddenly realized that her previous Golden Core stage cultivation... might not be much.

This alien called Xiao Jia seemed to have an extraordinary background.

“Could the dog owner… I mean, my cat owner, also have an extraordinary background?”

Xie Xinsu suddenly had a terrifying thought.

Then, she quickly shook her head.

“Impossible. If he were special, why would he practice martial arts?”

If he had set foot on the path of immortality, why would he pursue martial arts?

In this world, the path of martial arts has limited potential.

Xie Xinsu felt lost in thought, her cat brain unable to sort out all the ideas.

“Sigh, busy with the wedding, tomorrow there’s the feast. Fortunately, there are only the three of us in our household registry; otherwise, we’d have to toast everyone. Now it’s good, we’ve even saved money on a wedding host.” Qi Yuan waved his hand, feeling quite pleased.

To be honest, he saved some money again, which he could now save for buying Gonxing.

“People have been notified, the hotel is booked, time to cultivate… martial arts!”

Qi Yuan treated the game like a task, while cultivating martial arts was the task.

Canary and Xiao Jia were his life.

“Xiao Jia and I are going to sunbathe!”

Canary dragged Xiao Jia to the balcony to bask in the sun.

The house was filled with warmth and happiness.

Back in his room, Qi Yuan continued his martial arts cultivation.

Although he had a cheat code allowing him to infinitely consume monster blood to improve his cultivation, practice was still necessary.

“Turning martial arts vitality into storage space... cultivating this is so troublesome, it takes... a whole night?”

In the stronghold of the Yellow Springs World, Qi Yuan had acquired this martial art.

“Forget it, cultivating is too troublesome; I might as well add some points.”

Qi Yuan decided it was better to take shortcuts.

He sat on the bed, eyes closed.

A faint fragrance reached his nose. He knew it was Canary’s scent.

In his mind, images of Canary from not long ago appeared—her petite body, her dreamy expression, her broken gaze.

“Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan, be diligent, practice restraint!”

“Only fifty drops of monster blood left, gotta use it sparingly.”

“You used ten drops of monster blood to begin compressing and expanding the vitality in your body. Ding... blood vitality space successfully established, with a volume of 0.01 cubic meters.”

Qi Yuan looked inwardly and found a blood vitality space had formed inside his body.

“The space is a bit small... but it's okay, I'll leave it as is.”

Although he could use monster blood to expand the space, Qi Yuan chose not to.

He needed to keep some monster blood for emergencies.

He was strong but still believed in being prepared for any scenario.

“This diligent cultivation yielded good results. The biggest gain was a breakthrough in my voice acting skills. The word ‘ding’ is simply the essence of the system.”

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the prouder he felt of himself.

This sense of accomplishment was akin to skipping a stone seventeen times.

“I wonder when the next mission will begin?”

“My monster blood isn’t enough.”

With this thought, Qi Yuan continued his cultivation.

...

“Such heavy rain.”

In a dim basement, Shen Yang looked at the damp ground, his eyes filled with concern.

The place he lived in was less than ten square meters, with a monthly rent of 500 yuan.

In a city like this, it was quite decent, just having a place to live.

Unfortunately, today someone came and told him that such simple, low-ceilinged houses and basements were uninhabitable due to hidden dangers.

He knew the risks, but who would want to live in such places?

The last place he lived in was like a rural toilet, but the typhoon was too strong, blowing the house away, so he had to move.

Finally, after finding a new cubbyhole, he had to leave again.

“Sigh, making money is really hard, but compared to guarding a tiny piece of land back home, at least I can save some money and have hope.”

Having worked hard all day, he was now exhausted, his back aching, and had no energy left.

He could only scroll through short videos to relieve his boredom and fatigue.

Although he was unwilling deep down, wanting to improve and not resign himself to fate, living in such a world... what could he do?

At this moment, a video caught his eye.

He paused, a look of envy appearing in his eyes.

“These rich folks are getting bolder and bolder, flaunting marriage certificates, showing off three at once, without even pretending.”

“There should be a law against flaunting wealth; otherwise, we common folks will always be discontent.”

Shen Yang mused, then laughed.

He opened the comment section and casually read through it.

“Envying the rich every day!”

“Boss, teach me!”

“Bro, you married two wives at once!”

“Couldn't help it, I reported it!”

“Don’t get it wrong, this isn't a rich guy; this is an immortal cultivator. See? In his last video, he was even selling cultivation techniques!”

Shen Yang saw this comment and was stunned.

“Cultivation techniques?”

Shen Yang thought of recent online discussions.

“Is this world really about to change drastically, becoming more and more fantastical?”

Like the Martial Arts Tournament, champion Qi Yuan broke through martial arts limits, punching his opponent into a blood mist; like the Spider Island, where celestial light shone, and they found the corpses of over ten thousand baby girls.

Or how everyone in the Qin Yuan country voted on the life and death of the Mu family of the Seven Martial Stars clan.

Or how there was an extra sun in the sky.

All these strange events happened all at once.

Most people vaguely felt that something big was going to happen in this world.

Perhaps, a once-in-a-millennium change was upon them.

“If I became an immortal cultivator, wouldn’t I also be able to marry two wives?”

Shen Yang thought to himself.

Of course, he was just fantasizing.

If he became an immortal cultivator, he would reach out to the world.

He clicked on the profile of the person who married two wives and checked his first video.

“Cultivation technique... one hundred million?”

“And it was sold?”

“Could it... be real?”

Shen Yang's heart pounded, and he followed the account.

“Should I... take a risk?”

He knew that in this world, besides one's background, most people’s talents were not very different.

Being a bit bolder, who knows... he might gain unexpected rewards.

“Do I have to tip to send a private message?”

Gritting his teeth, Shen Yang recharged and tipped, then sent a message, “Congratulations on your marriage!”

Now, the previous video had only a few dozen comments, so those wanting to private message were probably very few.

Moreover, the tipping requirement for private messaging had deterred many people.

...

Night fell, and the bright moon shone in the sky.

“Unfortunately, it’s not like the moon in Canglan World.”

The moon in Canglan World was the projection of the Moon Goddess Yuanjun in the heavens.

This moon was Gonxing’s satellite.

“What’s wrong, husband, are you thinking of returning to Canglan World?”

The door gently pushed open, and a girl in a black slip dress entered the room, her snow-white shoulders exposed to the air, carrying a unique youthful charm.

Her skin had a sickly whiteness, whiter than snow, but some faint red marks could be seen.

Perhaps her petite body was too small, and the upper edge of her slip dress had a wide gap against her chest's mutton-fat-like snowy skin. A slight downward glance from Qi Yuan, and he could see everything.

“No, if I wanted to go back, I could go back anytime. But since time flows differently, it’s better to stay here until the game ends,” Qi Yuan answered seriously.

He held Ning Tao in his arms.

“I have to stay here for at least a hundred years.”

The path of the Human Martial Master requires a hundred victories.

This was just one time!

Ninety-nine to go.

Isn't that ninety-nine years?

“A hundred years is so short!” The girl clung tightly to Qi Yuan’s arm.

“Don’t worry, now that I’ve perfected my Nascent Soul, I can summon you to Canglan World at any time.

As for... the Stellar Golden Core, it can just hang in the sky.

I guess... it can swallow stars.”

Hearing this, the girl looked happy but then said, “No, I... have to stay in the sky often to comprehend the Divine Domain.”

On the Stellar Golden Core, she was always in a state of forgetting and not forgetting.

Time was the foundation of her Divine Domain.

Only on the Stellar Golden Core could she quickly comprehend the Divine Domain and improve her strength.

Elsewhere, it could take thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years to progress slowly.

Remaining on the Stellar Golden Core would accelerate her growth.

She didn't want to be a burden like she was on Nine Mountain, watching helplessly as he entered the Gate of Myriad Manifestations while being powerless.

Though she liked being protected, she didn’t want to always be that way.

Qi Yuan hesitated, thinking of something: “Your Divine Domain is the path of time. I think... you could go for postgraduate studies. The technology here is quite interesting, maybe it could help you with your path of time.”

“Postgraduate studies?” The girl was surprised, seemingly thinking deeply.

“Then go for a Ph.D. too, and you’ll become a female Ph.D.!” Qi Yuan chuckled softly, then added, “There’s a saying, ‘Once onshore, break ties with the one you love first.’ You wouldn’t just kick me out after getting your Ph.D., would you?”

“You...” The girl seemed a bit annoyed, “I’ll kick you out now!”

“Haha...” Qi Yuan chuckled, “Actually, I think immortal cultivation can be considered a kind of science too.

In this world, after stars age and die, they may become black holes.

If I let my Golden Core age and die, would it also become a black hole?

You know, black holes are mysterious celestial bodies, even more terrifying than stars.

I even feel that if I entered a black hole now, I would instantly be shattered.”

Of course, Qi Yuan was just guessing.

He hadn’t entered a black hole, not even seen one.

This universe was... a bit odd.

Or rather, it could only be considered a small universe, roughly the size of a galaxy.

Of course, it could also be that Qi Yuan’s current strength was still too weak to discover more.

“It’s better not to try it if you’re not sure.” The girl was very concerned about Qi Yuan.

“Don’t worry, I’m always very steady.”

If he weren’t steady, he would have already turned his Divine Infant into a black hole.

After all, forming the Divine Infant and transforming a star into a black hole are very similar.

Of course, another reason was that Qi Yuan was reluctant to part with his Stellar Golden Core.

Having his Golden Core hanging in the sky, shining on all the worlds, how cool is that?

And who says the Yang God is the ultimate goal of cultivation? His Golden Core Dao could also reach the other shore.

In the future, when there are more Golden Cores, the sky will be full of his suns, casually smashing a few stars to see if they can become black holes.

“Hmm, I’ll have to work hard too!” The girl nodded earnestly.

“You can work hard, just don’t work too hard when I’m sleeping.” Qi Yuan said, looking at the girl with some tenderness, “You being alone on the sun, it must be quite lonely.”

“It’s hot there, not lonely!” The girl gave a charming smile, then thought of something, her voice turning hesitant, “Husband, don’t worry. If you miss me... you can call me down anytime, I...”

As she spoke, her movements grew bolder, becoming restless in Qi Yuan’s arms.

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s eyes flashed with a sly smile.

“Canary, stop pretending to be Ning Tao!”

“Huh?” Canary’s face turned bright red, and her bold actions stopped abruptly. She looked a bit flustered, “Qi Yuan, you’re talking nonsense!”

But in the next instant, her lips were sealed, her body stiffening.

“Mm...”

After a dozen breaths, she was subdued by Qi Yuan and pressed onto the bed.

She got up, bending over with her back to Qi Yuan, panting heavily, “How did you find out it was me?”

“If it were Ning Tao, it’d be me who’d be pinned down by now.” Qi Yuan held Canary’s slender waist, a smug look in his eyes.

Of course, he also understood that Ning Tao was her, and Canary was also her; they were all the person he cared about.

...

In the hotel’s hall.

Cold sweat formed on the hotel manager’s forehead.

Yesterday, he received a call saying that a wedding would be held here.

At first, he thought it was a big order.

But then... just one table? He actually found it a bit... funny and pitiful.

A wedding with just one table, how cheap can they get?

But he thought about it, business wasn’t good, so he still set aside a private room for the newlyweds and even offered a discount.

But soon after, a group of unexpected guests arrived, giving him some instructions.

That’s when he realized the joke was on him.

A top-tier noble was holding a wedding at his hotel.

He initially thought it was a low-key noble, hence their choice of his place.

Officials came to instruct them not to reveal anything about today’s event.

But... no one told him the bride wasn’t human.

Well... one of them was human, the other wasn’t.

Personally serving as a waiter, the hotel manager’s legs trembled as he entered the private room.

The good thing was, he wasn’t the only one embarrassed.

Inside, holding their wine glasses, every man and woman trembled, afraid of spilling their drinks.

Oh my God!

The hotel manager felt his worldview collapse.

The first time hosting a wedding... for a non-human.

At this moment, in the private room, Qi Yuan held a glass filled with juice and scanned everyone, “Why aren’t you smiling? Are you naturally not inclined to smile?”

Kuang Huan immediately put on a smile, “Mr. Qi, it’s because Miss Ning Tao is so beautiful, we’re a bit nervous.”

“Isn’t Xiao Jia beautiful?” Qi Yuan couldn’t help but say.

He never played favorites.

“Beautiful!” Kuang Huan nodded earnestly.

Li Yan, holding her wine glass, nodded vigorously as well. At this moment, her feelings were a mix of all kinds.

Thinking of her previous thoughts, she found them laughable.

Initially, she thought Qi Yuan was very handsome, even felt a bit of attraction; of course, she felt this way about many celebrities too.

Upon learning Qi Yuan had a mental illness, she snuffed out that feeling.

After all, she couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

Now, seeing Qi Yuan’s wives, one so stunningly beautiful as Ning Tao, the other... a wedding dress.

She suddenly felt her past self... ridiculously naive.

Everyone present had different thoughts.

Wu Qi’s body also trembled slightly, unable to contain her excitement.

Originally, because of Qi Yuan, she had long been at odds with her agent.

Working hard as a chauffeur, she got nothing in return.

Now... just being able to attend this wedding was worth it.

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s gaze fell on Zhong Miao’s face, “Doctor, how’s your kidney deficiency?”

As Qi Yuan spoke, everyone present turned their eyes to Zhong Miao.

Mr. Qi said Zhong Miao had a kidney deficiency, so she must have it.

But how could she have kidney deficiency at such a young age?

Zhong Miao’s face turned red instantly, but she couldn’t help but refute, “I don’t have kidney deficiency!”

Originally, she came to persuade Qi Yuan not to ruin other girls’ lives.

After all, marrying with a mental illness was just wasting others’ lives.

Seeing that the ones he was ruining were... a wedding dress, the words she had prepared were all swallowed back.

What else could she say?

Although a bit headstrong, she wasn’t stupid, afraid of being beaten to death.

“How about you give me some of your blood, and I’ll study your kidney deficiency?” Qi Yuan continued.

Now, having entered the golden core stage, he vaguely sensed the special nature of Wu Qi’s blood and that of the child brought back from Guiran.

For him, it was indeed useful.

It could nourish the divine soul.

In the Mortal Heart World, Qi Yuan had formed the divine infants of innate chaotic gods and demons.

These Nascent Souls were him, yet not him; they still retained a trace of true spirit.

However, they were currently dormant.

He placed these divine infants in the Tian Kun Ancient Mirror for nourishment.

Now, he had found a better place.

It was people like Wu Qi...

At that time, placing the Nascent Souls to reside in these people, their bodies would have multiple “grandpas” or “grandmas.”

These “grandpas” or “grandmas” would occasionally wake up, guiding them to improve their strength, then nurturing their divine souls, allowing them to truly awaken.

Once these Nascent souls awakened by themselves, becoming independent entities, they could cultivate on their own.

With the foundation of visualizing powerful Blue Star gods and demons, combined with the resources from the mysterious alien heritage site.

The cultivation progress of these entities would be astonishing.

The potential would be limitless.

Each could be a Yang God!

By then, what level would Qi Yuan’s strength reach? Of course, this was just speculation.

Qi Yuan was only at the golden core stage now.

To summon the Nascent Souls, he would need to reach the Purple Mansion stage, which was still a long way off.

By then, this world might already be experiencing a spiritual revival, with numerous cultivation worlds connecting, and many cultivation sects descending, recruiting disciples and leaving legacies.

At that time, Qi Yuan might go around sending “grandpas” and “grandmas,” competing for disciples with those sects.

Doctor Zhong Miao, in Qi Yuan’s eyes, was somewhat similar to Wu Qi but also different.

So, Qi Yuan wanted a drop of her blood to investigate further.

“I’m not kidney deficient, and I won’t give you my blood!” Zhong Miao looked wary.

Having interacted with Qi Yuan many times, she wasn’t very afraid of him.

“What a pity, you might have missed out on a grandma.” Qi Yuan sighed.

He didn’t force anyone.

“I already lost my grandma a long time ago!” Zhong Miao couldn’t help but retort.

“That’s why I wanted to recommend a grandma to you. If you like, I can recommend a grandpa too.” Qi Yuan was very generous.

There were more than four thousand divine infants; he needed to find more people.

“No need, thank you!” Zhong Miao suspected that Qi Yuan’s condition might have worsened, “Did you take the medicine I prescribed for you last time?”

With a compassionate heart, she still asked.

Qi Yuan was speechless, “You should worry about your kidney deficiency first. Look at you, it’s been a long time since you’ve had a good sleep. If you keep having nightmares, you might just pass away one day.”

Hearing this, Zhong Miao’s face turned pale.

Those dreams were indeed frightening and terrifying.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at Wu Qi, “In a while, I’ll send you a grandma, okay?”

Wu Qi’s mind went blank.

Why was he giving her a grandma too? She didn’t have the courage that Zhong Miao did, so she could only bite her lip and agree, “Okay, I will treat her like my own grandma!”

“Maybe I’ll send a big grandma and a little grandma.” Qi Yuan spoke, without any filter.

Wu Qi could only smile and say, “Okay!”

Wang Xu watched this scene, still grinning foolishly.

The conversation here was too high-level for him to understand.

After a few rounds of drinks, the wedding feast ended in joy.

After seeing everyone off, Qi Yuan held Ning Tao in his arms, holding Xiao Jia’s hand. With a flicker, they returned to their home.

Qi Yuan lazily said, “Finally ate my own banquet, but it was a red banquet. Last time I missed the white one, which is probably the biggest regret of my life.”

Not attending his own funeral, not eating at his own banquet, truly one of life’s three greatest regrets.

If asked what the other two were, Qi Yuan wouldn’t know, as he had just made them up.

“It can be rescheduled!” Canary said eagerly.

She was small, delicate, and cute. She had to jump a little to reach Qi Yuan’s eyes, so Qi Yuan always had to hold her close.

“Forget it, it’s inauspicious.”

Qi Yuan said lazily.

Then, he waved his hand.

“Look, what did I buy for you?”

Canary quickly took the item Qi Yuan handed her and opened it.

Her face immediately turned red, and she bit her lip, “It’s still daytime, Qi Yuan!”

“Hey, what are you thinking? Didn’t you want to go to graduate school? I bought you a school uniform!”

“Huh?” Canary’s face turned even redder.

“I’ve already pulled some strings so you can take the exam here in Tianyue City!” Qi Yuan said proudly.

“Hmph!” Canary nodded, “If I’m going to grad school, what about you?”

“I’ll continue practicing martial arts, and... I have a feeling the mission in the Yellow Springs World is about to start. I need to go in and complete the mission.”

“Too bad I can’t go in. Sigh... studying... is so annoying!”
