[Hijikata doesn't assume that a samurai like him would be able to get in on that golden core business... and honestly, being immortal is no fun if no one else around you is. He'd hate to be the last of the Shinsengumi left, especially since they're already all too conscious that the age of the samurai is over. They're still trying to live their way of life, but attempting to drag that out into the rest of eternity would be kind of sad! He'll leave it to the cultivators.

More importantly, he's starting to lose the plot here.]

Okay, sorry, I've got to ask... who actually is the protagonist? He's not your real son, right - I mean, the son of the guy you transmigrated into?

[With immortality in the game, these things can get super complicated since everyone stays young forever and you end up with countless generations all living at the same time! So far, the characters he's taken stock off are Shang Qinghua, his king, his martial brother and other sect members, the hater who transmigrated into a villain, and the protagonist son he fell in love with; that's already enough for a soap opera!]
