Chapter 229: A New Battle Pass
【Your Digital Girlfriend Has Reached the Golden Core Stage!】
The system notification jolted Chen Huaian awake.
A new ga prompt flashed across his retinal display.
Whenever he used the imrsive ga helt, notifications appeared like this.
He still wasn’t used to it—felt like soone had shoved a smartphone directly into his brain.
“She broke through to Golden Core inside the secret realm?”
Chen Huaian picked up the Yang Soul Mirror and saw Li Qingran standing with her sword, Su Xian, held in a reverse grip. Her eyes were half-closed—
That was the look of soone comprehending enlightennt, breaking through a major realm!
He felt a surge of satisfaction.
Like a father who had painstakingly tutored his daughter, only for her to shock everyone by scoring first place in the final exams.
This was his disciple.
Chen—Big-Spender—Sword Immortal’s disciple.
Absolutely badass.
Now that she had reached Golden Core, getting out of the secret realm safely should be a given, right?
Chen Huaian checked her survival rate.
Still at 100%.
Good. Very reassuring.
At that mont, a new prompt popped up—
【Limited-Ti Offer, One-Ti Only: Golden Core to Nascent Soul Premium Battle Pass! Receive an 800,000x rebate! Purchase now for only 0.99 billion ¥, and obtain a vast selection of supre-tier treasures, including top-grade spirit artifacts and immortal-grade elixirs! The price returns to 9 billion in 24 hours!】
“Oh? Another battle pass?!”
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, stroking his chin.
Sothing was off about this.
He had expected a new battle pass to appear after Li Qingran’s breakthrough.
But he hadn’t expected it to be so expensive!
Even with the discount, it still cost a billion!
How much would the Nascent Soul to Soul Formation pass cost? And then from Soul Formation to Unity?
This kind of predatory pricing couldn’t be encouraged.
Otherwise, no matter how much money he made in the real world, it would never be enough to sink into this ga.
That was his reasoning—
Yet he still clicked on the reward details.
First, the reward for early Golden Core stage: Sword Bones x2 (freely selectable traits).
＜Special Note: Unlocking the Battle Pass – Sword Bone Reward will also make Sword Bones available for purchase in the Digital Girlfriend Store.＞
"Hiss! That’s so good stuff!"
Chen Huaian hesitated.
For sword cultivators, there were three key factors: Sword Spiritual Root, Sword Heart, and Sword Bones.
These were the hardware, the foundation. Only with solid hardware could one fully utilize the software—Sword Qi, Sword Intent, and Sword Dao.
Sword Bones could be tempered through Sword Intent, but the process was highly dangerous—many died attempting it.
But re Sword Bones weren’t enough to shake Chen Huaian’s Dao heart.
He continued reading.
The rewards for mid and late Golden Core stages were Supre Mystery Boxes.
The reward for peak Golden Core was explicitly revealed—
Immortal-Grade Phoenix Essence Pill.
“Oh?”
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes further.
Pills were just consumables—
At best, they boosted strength, healed wounds, replenished energy, or repaired damage.
At most, they could resurrect soone.
But a resurrection pill wouldn’t be in a re Golden Core to Nascent Soul battle pass—
That would be too broken.
＜Immortal-Grade Phoenix Essence Pill: Can repair Dao Body defects. Example: Resolves the flaw of the Lunar Dao Body, which prevents its owner from engaging in intercourse or bearing children. (Note: Only one such pill exists in the entire Cangyun Realm; it cannot be obtained through any other ans.)＞
"Hiss—!!"
Chen Huaian’s face changed.
What the hell was this ga system trying to imply?!
Did it think he was that kind of master, lusting after his disciple?!
But… there was indeed a saying that those with the Lunar Dao Body could not engage in intercourse, or else the Dao Body’s effect would be lost.
Lunar, after all, ant pure Yin. No Yang could be introduced—not even externally.
Chen Huaian clicked to unlock the battle pass.
And claid the first reward—Sword Bones x2.
He wasn’t doing this for any improper reason.
It was for Li Qingran’s health.
If her Dao Body had a flaw, of course he had to fix it.
As a responsible and caring master, he had to ensure his disciple had no weaknesses!
It was absolutely not for any other reason.
Mm.
“Joining the Demon-Slaying Bureau was the right choice.”
Chen Huaian muttered to himself as he examined the two newly acquired Sword Bones in his inventory.
“But being the Provincial Demon-Slaying Governor is still too poor… is there a higher-paying position?”
Sword Bones were a rare trait among sword cultivators—when one’s Sword Intent reached an extre, it fused into the very bones, becoming part of the body.
Sword Intent would condense into the spine—like a sword standing straight within the body.
A sword cultivator with Sword Bones could enter the Unity of Man and Sword state with ease.
What other sword cultivators treated as an ultimate move—Sword Bone users could spam it like basic attacks.
Chen Huaian glanced at the two items in his inventory.
They looked like dried chicken tendons.
He frowned.
Forget how the ga system had extracted Sword Bones as separate items—
Just the appearance alone…
These chicken tendon-looking things did not inspire confidence.
“…Whatever, that’s not important.”
He opened the selection nu.
Scanning through the extensive list of Sword Bone options, he finally chose—
Pure Yang Sword Bone.
And for Li Qingran—
Profound Yin Sword Bone.
Why these two?
Because together, they represented the Dao of Yin and Yang.
It was absolutely not because it would make certain future activities more harmonious.
Mm.
The Sword Bones—er, chicken tendons—would have to stay in his inventory for now.
His current avatar couldn’t use them.
After claiming his rewards, another notification popped up—
【Your Digital Girlfriend has reached Golden Core. Your karmic bond has deepened! You now qualify to unlock the Cultivation Log!】
【Limited-Ti Offer: Unlock a one-month subscription for only ¥88!】
【Next month, the subscription returns to ¥888/month. This purchase initiates automatic billing.】
【Note: Auto-subscription cannot be canceled.】
“…I’m not exactly short on cash right now.”
Chen Huaian activated the Digital Girlfriend Cultivation Log, sighing—
“But forcing auto-renewals? This is basically daylight robbery.”
The ga system remained silent.
But he could practically hear it saying—“Buy it or don’t.”
—
(1) 6:00 AM: Woke up. Thought about Master 17 tis. Took Sheng Xuan to the Central State Secret Realm. Thought it was too big—if only she could ride Master’s flying sword instead. She could hold onto his waist (even if she couldn’t reach).

Other logs pending update…

“So this is the Cultivation Log?”
Combining it with the Yang Soul Mirror—
Even if he could only see Li Qingran’s state, the details were far clearer now.
He could easily fill in the blanks.
“No wonder she’s my disciple.”
Chen Huaian chuckled, shaking his head.
“Daring to snatch a sacred land disciple’s opportunity? She’s got guts. Impressive. Impressive!”
