Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 25 - Golden Core Dao, Seven Emotions and Six Desires

Chapter 25: Golden Core Dao, Seven Emotions and Six Desires

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The reason why Cui Heng believed that the transformation of Golden Core to Nascent Soul could only be completed in a civilized society where people lived was because of the conditions described in the Beginner’s Immortal Cultivation Technique.
After reaching the Grand Completion stage of Golden Core, the Beginner’s Immortal Cultivation Technique had listed out two different paths.
One was the Dao, and the other was the Buddha.
If one wanted to cultivate the Dao, one had to let the Golden Core possess spirituality, allowing the Golden Core to come to life and evolve into an infant.
If one cultivated in Buddhism, there was no need for the Golden Core to possess spirituality. One only needed to guard the precepts and extinguish desires, and the Golden Core would spread throughout the entire body, and the Golden Body could be refined.!!
Cui Heng naturally chose the path of cultivating Dao.
However, at first, he didn’t know how to make his Golden Core gain spirituality, nor did he know how to make his Golden Core come to life. He thought that it was like the Foundation Establishment realm, where he would adjust his Dharmic powers to activate his Dao foundation.
That was what he did during his final moments in the Beginner’s Space.
Unfortunately, he did not gain anything.
The Golden Core was still shining brightly, but it did not seem to have gained any spirituality.
Instead, he ended his novice period and came out of the Beginner’s Space and met the group of grave robbers.
Cui Heng felt the extreme fear from them, and at the same time, he actually felt that a trace of undetectable spiritual fluctuation had grown in his Golden Core.
When Zhao Guang was saved and revealed an ecstatic expression, he felt that his Golden Core had gained another trace of extremely subtle spirituality.
The feeling of these two types of spiritualities were different, but they caused subtle changes in his Golden Core.
In reference to the Buddhist path corresponding to cultivation, it required one to abstain from desires and extinguish all emotions. It was inevitable that he would guess that the spirituality needed to nurture a Golden Core required the emotional fluctuations of the outside world as nourishment.
If Buddhism was to guard the seven precepts and extinguish all desires, attaining the Golden Nirvana Body, then cultivation was to enter the world and comprehend the seven emotions and six desires, nurturing a Nascent Soul?
It was indeed possible.
Therefore, Cui Heng decided to confirm his speculation in this aspect while searching for items to accumulate currency.
…
“What a handsome young man.”
“He’s really good-looking. I’ve never seen such a good-looking young man before.”
“Aiya, if not for the fact that I’m already married, I really want to go over and ask about him.”
“You don’t know shame! Hehehe! But… he does look good!”
From time to time, he could hear the laughter of women.
The women in this country didn’t seem to be too restricted. Even the unmarried ladies could still walk on the streets together and even whisper about men.
So after Cui Heng came to Xiangxi Town, similar voices were heard continuously.
It couldn’t be helped. Immortal cultivators all had a unique temperament that was especially attractive.
This was especially true for a cultivator who had reached the Grand Completion stage of the Golden Core Realm. He exuded a transcendent and handsome temperament.
Moreover, Cui Heng himself was handsome.
It naturally attracted the gazes of countless young women.
But he didn’t care about any of that.
According to Cui Heng’s original plan, he intended to stay at an inn first.
After that, he would order some dishes in the main hall and listen to the surrounding guests while eating.
That way, he could understand the situation around here.
After all, according to Wuxia novels, the inn’s lobby was the best place to gather information.
But before he reached the inn, he met a noisy group of bride escorts.
The festive atmosphere filled the entire street.
Cui Heng took a closer look and smiled.
Indeed, this joyful mood was beneficial to his cultivation.
This was just a wedding reception. If he could attend the wedding banquet, there would definitely be more benefits.
Cui Heng’s gaze swept across the roadside and saw a little boy running around. He walked over and squatted down, smiling as he said, “Child, what’s your name?”
The little boy looked like he was seven or eight years old and was very cute. He blinked his eyes and said, “Wang Hu, my parents and grandparents call me Ah Hu.”
“Ah Hu, which family is getting married?” Cui Heng took out a red tomato from his sleeve and smiled. “Tell me and I’ll give you this fruit.”
“It smells so good!” Ah Hu’s eyes lit up. He stared at the tomato in Cui Heng’s hand and nodded. “This is the Li family’s young master from the north of town getting married. Their house is huge. It’s the biggest house in the north of town!”
This tomato was something that Pei Qingshu treated as a Vermillion Fruit. It contained a certain amount of spiritual energy and was extremely attractive to children with sensitive senses.
“Here you go!” Cui Heng threw the tomato to the little boy and walked towards the north of the town.
“Thank you!” Ah Hu was very polite. After receiving the tomato, he bowed to Cui Heng and thanked him. He thought to himself, “This fruit smells so good! Father, mother, and grandparents must have never eaten it before. I’ll bring it home and share it with them!”
Cui Heng didn’t bother about the little boy anymore. He walked straight to the north of town, intending to freeload at the wedding banquet.
No, it was to immerse himself in joy and experience the seven emotions and six desires to increase the spirituality of the Golden Core.
…
The Li family was one of the wealthiest families in Xiangxi Town.
It was said that the ancestor of the Li family had once worked as an apprentice in the largest cloth shop in Hedong County and learned top-notch craftsmanship.
After returning to his hometown, he not only opened his own cloth mill, but also taught the craftsmanship of weaving to his fellow villagers. Only then did Xiangxi Town become a famous cloth industry town.
This Li family could be said to be the founder of the entire Xiangxi Town and the benefactor of the people of the entire town.
Although more than a hundred years had passed and the Li family had declined compared to their ancestor’s time, they were still loved and respected in town.
Hence, on this day of the Li family’s young master’s wedding, there was an endless stream of people going to attend the banquet, almost filling up the streets in front of the Li family.
The Li family did not reject anyone. As long as they gave a token congratulatory gift, they could attend the wedding.
In any case, they had a rich family background, so they weren’t afraid of being bankrupt by a mere banquet. They just wanted to celebrate with more people.
Cui Heng was mixed in with the crowd. When he saw the congratulatory gifts from the people in front, he almost burst out laughing.
Some gave eggs, some rice, and even stones could be found among the gifts.
There were all kinds.
When it was Cui Heng’s turn, he took out another tomato and placed it in the gift tray before going in for the wedding.
This joyous scene caused Cui Heng to be unable to help but sigh with emotion.
He hadn’t seen such a lively scene in the Beginner’s Space for 300 years.
“Groom and bride! Bow to Heaven and Earth!”
A loud shout could be heard from the front. The bride and groom had finally come out and were preparing to pay their respects.
Although Cui Heng sat at the back, with his cultivation, he could clearly see the bride and groom’s movements.
He could clearly feel the joy of the groom receiving his bride.
“Huh?!”
But at this moment, he suddenly exclaimed.
Cui Heng noticed that the bride’s footsteps were a little hesitant, giving off a feeling of reluctance.
Unwilling?
Could it be that melodramatic?
Cui Heng raised an eyebrow.
Bang!
At this moment, the sound of someone kicking the door could be heard from outside. The joyous atmosphere instantly turned silent.
