Chapter 328 Consuming Magical Beasts



Once Grandpa Lan left the cabin, the atmosphere immediately turned silent.

"Young man, would you like some tea?" Grandma Lan suddenly asked him.

"I do," he quickly nodded.

"Okay, I'll go prepare some for you right now."

Lan Yingying then said, "I'm going to increase my cultivation."

"Oh? Do you cultivate normally like humans or do you do something else to improve your cultivation?" Yuan asked her.

"I can cultivate normally, but that's not the most effective method for us— at least my bloodline. In order to increase my cultivation base quickly, I must consume other magical beasts."

Yuan's eyes flickered with interest and excitement after hearing her words, and he asked, "Does this mean you can also eat monster cores?"

Lan Yingying nodded, "We can eat them, but monster cores take very long for us to fully absorb, and the amount of spiritual energy we obtain from monster cores cannot compare to the magical beasts' body itself. And it sometimes gives us stomachaches, so I tend to avoid eating them."

"Wow…" Yuan mumbled.

Even though her method of eating monster cores differs from his own method, it was still quite fascinating to find someone else who can 'eat' monster cores.

"Do you think I can watch you?" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Y-You want to watch me consume magical beasts?" Lan Yingying looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yes." Yuan nodded, his gaze filled with curiosity.

"I-I guess…" Lan Yingying nodded after feeling slight hesitation.

"Follow me outside."

Once they were outside, Lan Yingying retrieved all of the magical beast corpses that they'd collected during their journey, piling them up like a small mountain.

Lan Yingying glanced at Yuan for a brief second before transforming into her beast form.

She then grabbed one of the magical beasts' corpses with her tail and lifted it in the air, directly above her head.

After taking a deep breath, Lan Yingying opened her large mouth before releasing her tail, dropping the magical beast's corpse into her mouth and swallowing it whole.

Yuan watched in fascination. He never thought magical beasts could cultivate in such a manner.

"Haaaa…"

Lan Yingying released a satisfied noise after swallowing the magical beast, and white flames could be seen blowing out of her mouth and nose when she breathed.

After eating her first magical beast, Lan Yingying picked up the second one and proceeded to consume that one in a single bite as well.

In just a few moments, Lan Yingying cleaned up the mountain of magical beasts, and she was so absorbed in eating that she'd forgotten about Yuan watching her.

"Ah, that was delicious~!" Lan Yingying spoke with a satisfied voice.

"Amazing… Where does all of that go? Even if your body is big, it's weird seeing how you consume a mountain of magical beasts and still look completely normal." Yuan asked her.

If he ate a lot of food, his stomach would bloat a little.

"Oh… I don't really 'consume' them. I burn them with Sacred Fire, converting them to spiritual energy inside my body and increasing my cultivation that way. This way, I won't feel full no matter how many magical beasts I consume."

"I see…" Yuan nodded.

Sometime later, Lan Yingying returned to her human form before going back inside the cabin with Yuan to drink tea Grandma Lan made.

"Can you tell me more about the outside world?" Lan Yingying suddenly asked him.

"The outside? What do you want to know?"

"I don't know. Anything you know."

Yuan pondered for a moment before nodding, "Okay, I don't know much, but I'll tell you everything I have experienced outside."

Thus, Yuan began telling her of his journey ever since he became a cultivator.

Of course, the story didn't last long since Yuan hadn't been a cultivator for long.

"I see… The outside world seems like a wonderful place. In this world, we cannot wander too much or leave the Lord's Sword Aura or the demons will be able to kill us." Lan Yingying sighed.

After tea, Grandma Lan took Yuan upstairs to the rooms and said to him, "Since we don't expect guests, we don't have any spare rooms. Therefore, how about you share a room with Yingying? Her bed is big enough to fit two people comfortably, too!"

The smile on her face grew wider and wider the more she spoke.

"It's okay, I don't need a room," Yuan said, dumbfounding Grandma Lan.

"Then where will you sleep?" She asked.

"I will be cultivating so it doesn't matter if I have a room or not," he responded.

"I-Is that so…" Grandma mumbled, feeling that getting this young man to mate with their granddaughter might be harder than defeating even the Demon Lord.

Yuan logged off sometime later as it was getting late.

"Yuan, the auction ended," Meixiu said to him during dinner.

"Really? How much did it sell for?"

"The Frozen Jade Zither sold for 620 million dollars, and we got 558,020,000 dollars after the service fees."

"Now we can pay for the rent of this place even though Yu Rou's friend is willing to lend it to us for free," Yuan said.

Meixiu raised her eyebrows. This is the first thing he thinks about after obtaining so much money? Paying for rent? If he wanted, he could even buy this entire building and still have plenty left.

"Ah, can you tell Xiao Hua and the others that I most likely won't be able to regroup with the other two disciples anytime soon." Yuan suddenly said.

"Huh? Why? Did something happen?"

"Yes, and it's not something I can ignore," Yuan said, and he proceeded to explain the Lan Family's situation to Meixiu.

"Demons, huh? I understand. I'll let them know when I log on tomorrow."

"Thank you," Yuan said.

"Oh, right. One more thing, Meixiu. If you need to buy something, just use the money we got from the auction. You don't need to ask me for permission."

"Are you sure? It's your money…" She said.

"What am I going to do with so much money? If we ever run out, I can just sell some more items." Yuan said.

"I understand. Thank you, Yuan."

Meixiu went to sleep shortly after cleaning up and Yuan spent the night cultivating in the real world.
