My Core is the Boss

Chapter 288.1: Mutated Sea Monster

All the actresses stared intently at the sea, clearly eager to catch the little cutie Qi Yuan had mentioned. Seeing that Qi Yuan was genuinely interested in the creature, Kuang Huan ordered all his subordinates to fish in the area.Qi Yuan said lazily, "If anyone manages to catch one, I’ll give them a small gift."

At once, both the actresses and Kuang Huan’s subordinates grew tense. A "small gift" from someone like Mr. Qi would surely be valuable! Perhaps worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of Qin Yuan dollars! Gripping their fishing rods tightly, they stared at the sea with anticipation.

Kuang Huan, who also joined in, asked in a low voice, "Is this little cutie related to cultivation?"

After all, anything that could attract Qi Yuan’s attention was likely tied to the legendary path of cultivation.

"No." Qi Yuan shook his head. "It should be related to martial arts."

Kuang Huan was stunned. "Martial arts?"

As a noble of the Qin Yuan Kingdom, he was naturally familiar with martial arts. He had practiced it before, but found it too weak. It was less practical than what even a random military instructor could teach, let alone gene serums.

The viscount couldn't help but ask, "Aren't martial arts rather weak?"

He had once seen the strongest champion in the Martial Arts Tournament. Skilled, sure, but nothing impressive.

Qi Yuan replied lazily, "There is no weak path in this world, only weak people."

Kuang Huan still didn’t quite understand. "But sir, aren’t you a cultivator?"

"I mainly cultivate Immortal Dao, but here, I want to learn martial arts. After all, I'm destined to become the Martial God of Ten Thousand Paths."

In fact, such was his true purpose in coming to this world. He had to become the Mortal Martial God and the Spirit Martial God before that. The former was simple, but he was still clueless about the latter.

Qi Yuan added, "By the way, if it’s convenient, help me research more about the Martial God of Ten Thousand Paths."

"Of course," Kuang Huan replied quickly, pleased to be able to help Qi Yuan.

"Mhm. The technique I sold you is still incomplete, but it should last you a few years. Once my wives arrive, I’ll give you the rest."

Due to the curse, he couldn’t think too deeply, leaving him unable to finish the technique. He had to grow stronger before he could perfect his subsequent techniques.

Hearing this, many thoughts flashed through Kuang Huan’s mind. Still, he quickly reasoned that a complete cultivation technique couldn’t possibly cost only a mere hundred million. Above all, what he had purchased wasn’t just the technique, but a connection to Qi Yuan.

In the end, the viscount said, "No problem."

If he knew Qi Yuan’s true strength, even a hundred billion or a trillion would be a bargain. The value of Qi Yuan’s self-developed technique was immeasurable.

As Kuang Huan pondered, Qi Yuan said, "Since we’re idling, bring me some materials. Metal, water, wood... I’ll process them."

Since they were fishing, he couldn’t exactly practice martial arts. Cultivation would also slow down due to his curse. In that case, he might as well refine some materials into medicinal liquid to boost his strength. Perhaps, he could even use it as bait to attract the little cutie in the sea.

Kuang Huan was excited. "Alright!"

He could finally witness the cultivator in action!

Soon, he and his subordinates brought over a pile of materials. The actresses looked on in confusion, unsure what Qi Yuan intended to do.

Qi Yuan instructed, "Bring a blender, a heat-resistant pot, and..."

Though puzzled, Kuang Huan complied and instructed his subordinates accordingly.

Qi Yuan clapped his hands. "If you can be lazy, be lazy."

Before long, the equipment arrived. Qi Yuan placed the plants into the blender one by one. The machine whirred as the plants were crushed, drawing curious gazes. Some kept watching the sea, hoping to catch the little cutie.

Qi Yuan poured a dark bluish liquid into a wine glass and drank it in one gulp. "Mhm, done."

His cultivation technique surged, and his cultivation level rose rapidly.

As he poured another glass, he asked Kuang Huan, "Want a drink? But you’ll need to coordinate it with the Super Invincible Somewhat Explosive Technique."

Arch Star’s spiritual energy was sparse, far below that of the Canglan World, making the medicinal liquid necessary for better results. Still, Qi Yuan sensed that its spiritual energy was gradually increasing.

Kuang Huan was delighted. "Alright."

Recalling the technique, the viscount attempted to circulate it as instructed. Strangely, the energy wouldn’t move, as if blocked.

Qi Yuan tapped him lightly. "Continue."

Only then did Kuang Huan feel enlightened, his energy flowing rapidly.

"Drink."

The viscount immediately swallowed the green liquid. An unexplained pleasure surged through him, as if he was floating in the air. It was so intense that it surpassed even a climax dozens, even hundreds of times over.

Kuang Huan opened his eyes in shock and joy. "Cultivation arts, this must be cultivation arts!"

The sensation was intoxicating. For a moment, he wondered if he had taken some hallucinogenic drug. However, the ingredients were clearly ordinary plants, with no prohibited substances.

Qi Yuan commented casually, "Your aptitude is too poor. It’ll probably take a month or two just to get started."

Without his self-developed technique, it would’ve taken Kuang Huan a decade just to grasp the basics. At best, he could only reach the early stage of the Qi Refinement realm. Hearing this, Kuang Huan actually felt relieved.

At that moment, Qi Yuan picked up another glass. With a tap of his finger, the liquid inside glowed red.

Wu Qi exclaimed, "I-is that magic?"

The actresses were equally astonished. For some inexplicable reason, the freshly made beverage glowed red right under their noses. How was that possible?

Qi Yuan smirked. "Just adding some bait to see if it attracts the little cutie."

He tossed the glass into the sea.

Bang.

The glass exploded midair, scattering red liquid like rain. Everyone was stunned.
