Chapter 36 - Consuming the Demonic Spiders Monster Core (1/2)

Many minutes have passed since the middle-aged man rushed inside the Demonic Spider's Silent Cave to look for his daughter.

Meanwhile, Yuan and Xiao Hua waited for him outside.

'I wonder how much Qi I will gain by consuming the Demonic Spider's monster core.' Yuan thought to himself with the shiny monster core in his hands, preparing to pop it into his mouth like eating hard candy.

When Xiao Hua noticed Yuan staring at the Demonic Spider's monster core with craving eyes, she asked him, ”Brother Yuan, are you going to eat the monster core…? Although Brother Yuan can eat Spirit Apprentice level monster cores without any problems, Xiao Hua is worried that Spirit Warrior level monster cores may contain too much Qi for you to consume...”

”We won't know that until I try it, right?” Yuan said.

”That is true, but…” Xiao Hua still wore a worried expression.

Yuan then said with a confident smile, ”Don't worry, Xiao Hua. I have faith in my stomach!”

”But the Qi goes to your Dantian, not your stomach, Brother Yuan… It's not food, after all.” Xiao Hua said to him with a dumbfounded face.

”What's the difference?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

”The Dantian is every Cultivator's source of power and where you store your Qi. Without it, one cannot cultivate Qi. And any damage done to one's Dantian is incredibly hard to heal, that's why every Cultivator cares for their Dantian more than their own life because they rather die than live life as a cripple.” Xiao Hua explained to him the importance of one's Dantian.

”If one cannot cultivate, they are considered a cripple in this world? And people would rather die than to live as a 'cripple'? That's bullshit!” Yuan looked at her with wide eyes filled with disbelief, even feeling slightly angry at Cultivators.

As a cripple himself, Yuan couldn't help but feel offended to hear that Cultivators would rather die than being a 'cripple'. In fact, he doesn't even consider people who cannot cultivate to be real cripples, even finding it incredibly disrespectful.

”So what if one cannot Cultivate? That does not mean they should die! These Cultivators truly live a luxurious life, worrying about such insignificant matters!” Yuan sighed loudly.

”...” Xiao Hua was speechless.
