The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 379 Immortal Artefact Core! (1)

Ji Yuan quickly tried to distract the conversation from the Death God Mingwang as he said to Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing, "So I assume that one of you has the Number 404?"

Fan Yuqing winked at him, "Are you thinking of killing us to get one additional Escape Talisman?"

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Of course not. But since the two of you are the solo survivors of your Red Faction, I guess that one of you must be the Number 404."

Intelligence +10.

Lu Qingyun smiled, "My number is 75."

"And my number is 32." Fan Yuqing laughed as she flashed the number on her signet ring for Ji Yuan to see.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Intelligence -100

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and asked, "Then how in the heavens are you going to complete this trial?"

Fan Yuqing giggled, "We are just thinking of exploring a little more before we quit the trial. After all, it will be a little too wasteful if we use our Escape Talisman a little too early, don't you think so?"

Ji Yuan laughed, "I've to agree with you."

Shui Xisi quickly interrupted as she cuddled Fan Yuqing, "Since there are only the two of you here, why don't you join my faction to help us for this trial?"

Fan Yuqing laughed softly, "I don't see why not as long as it is fun."

"It will be fun!" Shui Xisi laughed jovially. "With my Sister Yuqin here, it will always be fun."

"What do you think Ji Yuan?" She turned to ask Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Of course."

As long as they don't parade Yun Chi naked, I am totally fine.

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had an evil grin as he thought of Yun Chi's naked body in his arms while they were 'playing' together.

Hua Yingxiong and several of the cultivators from the Yellow Faction were now bowing respectfully as they said, "We've to go now but we promise you that we won't forget your kindness. If we see any cultivators from your Green Faction, we will surely keep a respectful distance and we won't attack them."

Ji Yuan nodded as he replied to them, "I trust your words."

More than a hundred cultivators from the Yellow Faction chorused loudly at the same time, "We thank Great Hero Ji Yuan, Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing for saving our lives! We will not forget this gratitude that is from you!"

Ji Yuan laughed, "Don't mention it."

Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing merely nodded; they seemed uninterested and nonchalant.

Hua Yingxiong smiled to Ji Yuan, "Do you mind if I call you Brother Ji Yuan?"

Ji Yuan smiled back, "As long as you don't abandon me like the last time."

When the Death God Mingwang had suddenly appeared, Hua Yingxiong had suddenly left in a hurry.

"Hahaha…I won't next time…" Hua Yingxiong laughed awkwardly as he quickly left with the others. He was a little ashamed of that and Ji Yuan had to remind him of it.

Shui Xisi turned to Ji Yuan with a soft chuckle, "You! You should keep that under wraps. These cultivators like their faces too much. Be careful that he may bear a grudge against you!"

Ji Yuan laughed, "Not as though I will be so desperate enough to go to his celestial fraternity and be his knight. Haha."

"Don't bet too soon on that. You may be wrong." Shui Xisi laughed.

Ji Yuan frowned, "Don't jinx me with your words."

Then he turned to Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing to say, "Please follow us back to my faction."

As everyone began to turn back, all of a sudden the profound energies that were scattered when the immortal cherubim demonic monster had died were suddenly gathering back again.

This startled everyone.

Ji Yuan muttered, "This is…"

Fan Yuqing smiled, "We are unlucky and luck at the same time. It seems that it is an immortal artefact core that is forming right now. Unfortunately, no celestial cultivator will be able to harness it and it will even be detrimental to your cultivation core."

Bai Qianfeng nodded, "It is impossible to use an immortal beast as an artefact core even if the cultivator has formed his spirit core. Even for a ninth rank immortal the chance is only less than 10% and it can even be deadly. But we are really lucky to encounter one. The chance is like 1 in 1 million…"

She had suddenly kept quiet because she had realized that she had revealed too much of her background to Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing.

But the two of them continued to look nonchalant and did not question her.

Bai Qianfeng thought; he knows. Great Lord Xuan Yuan's state of divinity is totally different from the past and he seems to be a different person now.

Shui Xisi nodded, "We're all cultivators of the righteous force. Taking an artefact core from a desolate monster and absorbing it as a spirit entity is already so difficult. Moreover this is an immortal demonic beast. We will have a better luck with an immortal divine beast instead of this one. So let's go and let this artefact core disperses on its own later."

Ji Yuan nodded as he brandished his swords to disperse the profound energies that were gathering.

"Agree. Let me destroy it lest some unwitting idiot cultivator comes along the way to absorb this artefact core."

Lu Qingyun smiled, "Brother Ji Yuan is really a considerate cultivator…"

But all of a sudden Lu Qingyun was startled.

Not only him but Fan Yuqing, Shui Xisi and Bai Qianfeng were also startled; it was because the profound energies of the newly formed artefact core of the Cherubim Demonic Beast was flowing into Ji Yuan instead of being dissipated by his attacks.

Ji Yuan panicky said, "Don't look at me like this! I didn't do anything! Moreover, how can I absorb another spirit entity when I already have a sword spirits. You know that we can only have one spirit entity…"

Shui Xisi interrupted weakly, "But you have two sword spirits and two spirit entities. Maybe you're greedy for a fifth one."

"Don't remind me of my Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang. They're useless, you know." Ji Yuan protested immediately.

Fairy Anyang hummed coldly inside Ji Yuan's soul sea, "Hmph! I'm useless?! I am more useful than Xiang Li!"

Xiang Li giggled, "Indeed Sister Anyang is more useful than me although I can't remember what your usefulness is."

Fairy Anyang: …

The profound energies were now gathering into Ji Yuan's soul sea at a furious rate.

Lu Qingyun panicky said to Ji Yuan, "You must deny it quickly or it will lay waste to your inner cultivation core and you will be a crippled!"

Ji Yuan was already struggling panicky to deny the profound energies that were entering into him when a sweet voice said to him. "Don't listen to him. Let these profound energies flow into you."

Yun Chi?

He had recognized the voice to be from Yun Chi.

He must be getting delusion by now. Or was this the heart demon of the Cherubim Demonic Beast that was at work here and it was making a last attempt to destroy him.

'Yun Chi' voice said to him, "Don't resist it and soon you will gain yourself a cherubim spirit entity that you can use as your profound force. Allow me into your soul sea…"

Ji Yuan was smiling bitterly; I must be getting delusional now that I am now hearing the voice of Yun Chi…

He said to the voice; if you want to come in then you can come in anytime…

Xiang Li was startled, "Big Brother, you are still absorbing the profound energies?"

Fairy Anyang was also startled, "You must severe it before it is too late."

Ji Yuan was also startled, "I can't control my profound energies now…"

Yun Chi was also startled; it was because she could sense the presence of two sentient spirit entities inside Ji Yuan's soul sea.

One of them must be the Goddess' Tear.

As for the other one, she had no idea.

But the fact that Ji Yuan had two sentient spirits already startled her greatly.

She was the one that had diverted the artefact core of the Cherubim Demonic Beast into Ji Yuan's inner cultivation core because she wanted to prove to Lu Qingyun and all the others that they were wrong.

She was an expert in soul energies while the Dragon God Longdi was an expert in body training.

Therefore she could divert the profound energies into Ji Yuan without anyone noticing what she was doing.

She was actually thinking; Ji Yuan, this is what I've owed you. From today onward, we are quits now. If we meet the next time then we shall be enemies.

As the matriarch of all the angel monsters, Yun Chi is able to divert their profound energies with a 100% efficacy. Even if it is only a 0.1% chance, as long as it is an angel demonic beast then in her hands it will be 100%.

But when she saw the two sentient spirits in Ji Yuan's soul sea, she was quite startled and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Am I creating a monster to be my rival?

Ji Yuan was now saying to Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang in his soul sea, unaware that he had accidentally allowed Yun Chi into his soul sea as he thought that he was having a delusion.

"You know, Xiang Li." Ji Yuan sighed. "My biggest regret in life now is I haven't banged Jiajia and Maiden Feng Minyue yet…"

Then he added with a loud chuckle, "And I also want to bang Yun Chi again."

Yun Chi: …

"Me too, Big Brother!" Xiang Li giggled.

Yun Chi: …

What is this spirit entity talking about?!

Then Yun Chi shuddered; she saw our act together that night…Ji Yuan never put his spirit entity into sleep mode…

Ji Yuan frowned, "What has this got to do with you?"

Fairy Anyang face-palmed and sighed, "The two of you are so hopeless. We're all going to die now and yet you still have the mood to make lewd remarks."

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "Why am I so unlucky today? I get to be a hero today but this stupid artefact core has to pick me as a victim and now I can't even shake its profound energies off me. Damn it, I've yet to see enough of Yun Chi's butt. I wonder if she is thinking of me right now…"

Yun Chi was thinking bitterly; I wish that I have never entered your soul sea and listen to your lewd thoughts. Or maybe I should let these chaotic profound energies explode in your inner cultivation core instead.
