Chapter 328 Consuming Magical Beasts (1/2)

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.
