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

The reason why Cui Heng believed that the transformation of the Golden Core into a Nascent Soul could only be completed in the civilized society where people lived was due to the conditions described in the Beginner Immortal Cultivation Technique.

After reaching the Great Completion stage of the Golden Core, the Beginner Immortal Cultivation Technique had made a list of 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 have spirituality, allowing the Golden Core to live and evolve into a baby.

If one were to cultivate in Buddhism, the Golden Core would not need to have spirituality. One only needed to guard the precepts and extinguish the desires, and the Golden Core would spread throughout the body, and the Golden Body could be refined.

Cui Heng naturally chose the Dao cultivation path.

However, at first, he did not know how to make his Golden Core obtain spirituality, nor did he know how to make his Golden Core come alive. He thought that it was like the Foundation Establishment realm, where he would adjust his Dharmic power to activate his Dao foundation.

That was what he did in his final moments in the Starter Room.

Unfortunately, he got nothing.

The Golden Core was still shining brightly, but it did not seem to gain any spirituality.

Instead, he ended his early days and came out of the Beginner's Room and met a group of grave robbers.

Cui Heng felt an overwhelming fear from them, and at the same time, he actually felt that traces of undetectable spiritual fluctuations had grown in his Golden Core.

When Zhao Guang was saved and revealed an excited expression, he felt that his Golden Core had gained a very refined trace of spirituality.

The feelings of these two types of spirituality were different, but they caused subtle changes to his Golden Core.

Referring to the Buddhist path corresponding to cultivation, it required one to refrain from desiring and extinguish all emotions. It was inevitable that he would guess that the spirituality needed to nurture the Golden Core required emotional fluctuations from the outside world as food.

If Buddhism is guarding the seven precepts and quenching all desires, reaching the Golden Nirvana Body, then cultivation is entering the world and understanding the seven emotions and six desires, nurturing the Nascent Soul?

That's possible indeed.

Therefore, Cui Heng decided to confirm his speculation in this aspect while searching for items to collect currency.

…

“What a handsome young man.”

“He's really handsome. I've never seen such a handsome young man before.”

“Aiya, if it wasn't for me being married, I would really like to go and ask about her.”

“You are shameless! Hehe! But... she does look good!”

From time to time, he could hear the laughter of the women.

The women in this country don't seem to be too restricted. Even unmarried women can still walk down the street together and even whisper about men.

So after Cui Heng came to Xiangxi City, similar voices continued to be heard.

That can't be avoided. All immortal cultivators had unique temperaments that were extremely attractive.

This was especially true for a cultivator who had reached the Great 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 doesn't care about any of it.

According to Cui Heng's initial plan, he intended to stay at the 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 lodging lobby was the best place to gather information.

But before he reached the inn, he met a noisy group of bridesmaids.

A festive atmosphere filled the entire street.

Cui Heng looked closer and smiled.

It's 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 small child running around. He walked over and crouched down, smiling as he said, “Nak, what's your name?”

The 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 will get married?” Cui Heng took out a red tomato from his sleeve and smiled. “Tell me and I will give you this fruit.”

“The smell is so good!” Ah Hu's eyes twinkled. He looked at the tomato in Cui Heng's hand and nodded. “This is the young master of the Li family from the north of town who is 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 contains a certain amount of spiritual energy and is very attractive to children with sensitive senses.

“This is it!” Cui Heng threw the tomato at the little boy and walked towards the north of the city.

“Thank you!” Ah Hu was very polite. After receiving the tomatoes, she bowed to Cui Heng and thanked him. He thought to himself, “This fruit is so fragrant! Fathers, mothers, and grandparents had never eaten it before. I'll take her home and share it with them!”

Cui Heng did not care about the little boy anymore. He walked straight north of the city, intending to break free at the wedding.

No, it was to immerse himself in excitement and experience the seven emotions and six desires to enhance the Golden Core spirituality.

…

The Li Family was one of the richest families in Xiangxi City.

It is said that the Li family ancestor once worked as an apprentice in the largest fabric store in Hedong County and learned the best skills.

After returning to his hometown, he not only opened his own cloth factory, but also taught his weaving skills to fellow villagers. It was only then that Xiangxi City became a famous cloth industry city.

This Li Family could be said to be the founder of the entire Xiangxi City and the benefactor of the people throughout the city.

Although over a hundred years had passed and the Li family had declined in comparison to the time of their ancestors, they were still loved and respected in the city.

Therefore, on the day of this young master of the Li family's wedding, there were many people who would attend the banquet, almost filling the streets in front of the Li family.

The Li family did not reject anyone. As long as they give a congratulatory gift, they can attend the wedding.

After all, they had a rich family background, so they were not afraid of going broke with just a banquet. They just want to celebrate with more people.

Cui Heng mixed with the crowd. When he saw the congratulatory gifts from the people in front, he almost burst into laughter.

Some give eggs, rice, and even stones can be found among the gifts.

There are all kinds.

When it was Cui Heng's turn, he took out another tomato and placed it on the gift tray before going to the wedding.

This exhilarating scene caused Cui Heng to be unable to resist sighing with emotion.

He had never seen such a lively scene in the Starter Room for 300 years.

“Brothers and brides! Subject to Heaven and Earth!”

A loud scream could be heard from the front. The bride finally came out and prepared to pay her respects.

Although Cui Heng was sitting at the back, with his cultivation, he could clearly see the movements of the bride.

He could clearly feel the joy of the groom receiving the bride.

“Hah?!”

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.

Reluctant?

Could it be so melodramatic?

Cui Heng raised an eyebrow.

Bang out!

At this moment, the sound of someone kicking the door could be heard from outside. The happy atmosphere instantly turned silent.
