Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 334: Li Haoran Forms His Golden Core

Lu Yang couldn’t help but feel that the Great Xia Dynasty truly had it rough. In his opinion, their legal system was already considerably comprehensive, with hardly any need to add or remove laws. It was sufficient to deal with any situation.

But cultivators simply have too many ideas.

That isn’t inherently problematic. After all, ideas alone don’t necessarily translate to reality. However, there will always be cultivators with overwhelming abilities to bring their ideas to life.

As a result, the legal system can never keep up with their antics. One example is the Qing Province’s governor that Fifth Elder mentioned.

It’s perfectly normal for Transcendent Tribulation cultivators to fight, right? It’s also perfectly normal for them to move mountains and fill the seas when fighting, right? Then, if I accidentally shift a neighboring city into Qing Province, that’s also perfectly normal, right?

What Lu Yang didn’t know was that the Dao-Seeking Nine used to make outstanding contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty’s legal code—mainly by exposing the many loopholes in their law.

“Fortunately, I’m an honest person who never causes trouble for the Great Xia Dynasty.” Lu Yang briefly glanced at Meng Jingzhou and Li Haoran, feeling a heavy weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

Why do I cultivate so assiduously to become number one? Isn’t it so that I can be a role model for them? And let them abide by the law like I do?

“Ex-dad, are you not feeling well?” Qin Yanyan noticed the sweat beading on Li Haoran’s forehead.

Li Haoran was trembling uncontrollably, his aura fluctuating wildly. It reached as low as the Basic Foundation Establishment Stage in one moment and reached as high as the Basic Golden Stage in the next.

Through gritted teeth, he forced out a few words. “I have an epiphany. I want to form my golden core.”

In a flash, Fifth Elder appeared right in front of Li Haoran. He scanned Li Haoran’s dantian with his spiritual consciousness and realized it was hazy—a telltale sign of his golden core condensing.

Fifth Elder said gravely, “Haoran, your situation is unique. As you are Qin Haoran’s reincarnation, you may meet unforeseen circumstances during your golden core formation process. Returning to the sect to form your golden core is the safest choice!”

Li Haoran rasped, “I’ll try. But my instinct is making my body go out of control. It already wants to form a golden core.”

Lu Yang had read about such cases in the books. This was the ideal scenario for Great Perfection Foundation Establishment cultivators. Their body would form a golden core spontaneously, and everything would fall in place naturally with no risk of failing. Moreover, it would guarantee at least an upper-third-grade golden core.

Such moments exemplified how one’s talent grew stronger with each reincarnation.

Unfortunately, there were too many uncertainties with Li Haoran, and everyone had a limited understanding of reincarnation. Forming his golden core here was not the preferred choice.

“Haoran, hang in there! I’ll steer the flying shuttle!” Fifth Elder flung open the hatch and whisked the four of them inside before hurtling forward at full speed.

“Deep breaths. Relax your body. Deep breaths. That’s right. Inhale...exhale...”

“Junior Brother Li, you have to hang in there! You and your golden core will definitely pull through!”

“Fifth Elder, slow down! Junior Brother Li is barely hanging on!”

“Junior Brother Li, relax. This is no big deal. Every cultivator has to go through this phase. Just push on a little more, and you’ll get through this.”

On the flying shuttle, two Golden Core “guardians,” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, attended to Li Haoran, offering encouragement, wiping his sweat, and tending to his every need.

Qin Yanyan, “...”

If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re looking after a woman about to go into labor.

“The mist in the dantian is condensing. He’s about to form his golden core!“

”The embryonic form of the golden core has begun to show itself!”

“Junior Brother Li, jiayou! You’ve got this!”

Qin Yanyan found the uncanny resemblance even more striking now.

Li Haoran sat in the lotus position, absorbing the ambient spirit qi. The mist in his dantian reacted more violently, as waves of power swept across his entire body, including his skin, bones, and meridians.

As the mist continued to purify, it transformed into liquefied golden spirit energy. The golden spirit energy compressed once more, producing a flickering spark that devoured the surrounding spirit energy.

Finally, a full and plump golden core was formed.

Li Haoran had succeeded!

“I succeeded?” Li Haoran was slightly uncertain of himself. The process was fairly smooth, except for the two annoying “guardians” yammering in his ears.

“You’ve succeeded.” Fifth Elder nodded in confirmation after a thorough inspection. “But it’s still advisable that you return to the sect for a full examination.” He breathed a sigh of relief after checking that no anomalies had arisen before or after Li Haoran formed his golden core.

“I’ve finally formed a golden core.” Li Haoran also breathed a sigh of relief. At least Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou won’t be able to show off in front of me now.

“What kind of golden core did you form?”

Li Haoran laughed mischievously. “It’s an unprecedented golden core—the Rebirth Golden Core!”

“Rebirth Golden Core?!”

Lu Yang found the name of the golden core to be very grand. Rebirth Golden Core—does it mean that Li Haoran has comprehended the true meaning of reincarnation? Can he reincarnate with his memories intact and make up for his past regrets?

If that’s really the case, the title of his golden core may be fitting.

“Let me demonstrate.” Li Haoran lopped off his arm in one swift motion, causing everyone to recoil in fright. They wondered if there was something wrong with his head.

That was when a miraculous scene unfolded. The flesh at the severed area wriggled, and in the blink of an eye, a new arm had regrown.

“Limb rebirth and regeneration!”[1] Meng Jingzhou exclaimed. This is a spell many eunuchs dreamed of.

Lu Yang, “...”

So this is what you meant by “Rebirth Golden Core?”

That said, Limb Rebirth is quite useful in combat. Plus, judging by Li Haoran’s demonstration, it seems like regenerating a limb is an easy feat for him.

Compared to Meng Jingzhou’s Double Single’s Golden Core and Man Gu’s Ancestor Assembly Golden Core, Li Haoran’s Rebirth Golden Core is probably the most normal one in our cohort.

“It’s not just limbs. I can regenerate a new heart, blood, or even a head,” Li Haoran elucidated his ability with pride, while his severed arm was still twitching on the floor.

“Why did you suddenly form a golden core? Was it because you had some epiphany?” Meng Jingzhou thought back about what had happened before Li Haoran’s golden core formation. Only the court’s clean-up crew stood out.

He asked, “You wish to have a career in aftermath cleanup in the future?”

Li Haoran rolled his eyes, not knowing how he should react. “Of course not. It’s not like I know earth- and wood-type spells. It’s because I just obtained another fragment of Qin Haoran’s memories and felt it could be applied to my golden core formation. That was when I had an epiphany and was inspired to form my golden core.”

Meng Jingzhou was now even more curious. “What did you see in those memories?”

Li Haoran fell silent for a long while before slowly answering, “Relying on his ability to regenerate severed limbs, he sold blood.”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou inhaled sharply. Truly a ruthless person.

While not as precious as Phoenix blood, a Fusion cultivator’s blood still commanded fairly high prices.

“The more Qin Haoran sold his blood, the more adept he became at Limb Rebirth. After obtaining these memories, I realized Limb Rebirth’s usefulness and applied it to the formation of my golden core.”

Fifth Elder stroked his beard in admiration. “To think Qin Haoran went so far for the Nine-Netherworlds Creed.”

Lu Yang shot Fifth Elder a sidelong glance. Weren’t you the ones who tricked the Nine-Netherworlds Creed into such poverty?

Lu Yang’s expression turned even stranger. “He sold blood before becoming creed leader.”

“Then why did he sell blood?”

“To earn money for visiting prostitutes.”

“He still couldn’t afford to visit prostitutes at the Fusion Stage?”

“He visited a lot.”

1. The Chinese term “chongsheng” can mean rebirth or to grow again. Considering the genre of “chongsheng” or rebirth, most people would assume he meant “rebirth.” ☜
