Chapter 73: Demonic Spirit Stones
What’s this?
Yu Beixuan curiously opened the storage pouch. The moment he touched a black stone inside, he was immediately drawn to the power radiating from it.
[Oh my! It’s actually a Demonic Spirit Stone. How does your big brother manage to find every kind of stone out there?]
Guagua was amazed.
Demonic Spirit Stone? What’s that?
Si Er was curious too.
[On the Cang Beast Continent, cultivators are divided into spiritual cultivators and demonic cultivators. Spiritual cultivators use spirit stones to cultivate, while demonic cultivators use Demonic Spirit Stones.]
I see, so it’s something for demonic cultivators to train with. Then can Xuanxuan use it?
[Of course he can. On the Cang Beast Continent, spiritual and demonic cultivation aren’t divided into good and evil—they’re just different cultivation methods, requiring different resources.]
[Actually, that’s a good thing. The Cang Beast Continent has rather scarce resources. It couldn’t afford to support only spiritual cultivators or only demonic cultivators.]
[But if it accommodates both, it can barely manage.]
[Someone with a light-attribute constitution like you is a one-in-ten-thousand top-tier seed for spiritual cultivation.]
[And someone like Yu Beixuan, with a dark-attribute constitution, is a one-in-ten-thousand top-tier seed for demonic cultivation.]
[The righteous path values diversity—many sects and families standing side by side, balancing each other. If a talent like you grows up, you could attain an extraordinary status and earn great respect, but…]
[How should I put it? Demonic cultivators fully respect strength above all. If someone with Yu Beixuan’s constitution grows to maturity, he would unquestionably become the leader of demonic cultivators—the so-called Demon Venerable.]
[Of course, that position comes with constant challengers. Demonic cultivators love challenges and grow stronger through them.]
[Spiritual cultivators, on the other hand, prefer peace. They favor multiple powers standing in balance, with no one holding absolute authority.]
So on the Cang Beast Continent, the difference between spiritual and demonic cultivators is only in power, not in morality.
In that case, spiritual cultivation really does suit me. I don’t need absolute authority, and I couldn’t stand living in constant challenges every day.
Demonic cultivation suits Xuanxuan too. I don’t know if he likes being challenged, but demonic cultivators over there are pretty common, right?
They wouldn’t be looked at strangely, would they?
[Of course not. If any spiritual cultivator dared to call a demonic cultivator ‘wicked,’ that demonic cultivator would just say he’s willing to give up all his demonic qi and switch to spiritual cultivation—and the spiritual cultivator would immediately surrender and try to talk him out of it.]
[After all, ever since the Ten Thousand Beast Continent was split off, the Cang Beast Continent’s resources have become even scarcer.]
How interesting! If Xuanxuan were over there, he’d definitely be very happy.
He’d gain a whole group of demonic comrades, and even spiritual cultivators wouldn’t dare provoke him.
I feel like if Xuanxuan went there, he could walk sideways.
Si Yi glanced at Yu Beixuan, thinking that Yu Beixuan could already walk sideways on the Ten Thousand Beast Continent.
Sure, his constitution made many wary—but what they feared even more was his father.
With his father around, very few people dared to lay a hand on Yu Beixuan. Everyone knew Lord Yu of the city was a madman.
When he caused trouble, he did so recklessly—far beyond what ordinary people could endure.
Even if you weren’t ordinary, you might not be able to endure it either.
Listening to Si Er’s thoughts and sensing Yu Bei Wolf’s desire, Yu Beixuan smiled, put away all the Demonic Spirit Stones, and then took out several fire-attribute spiritual plants for Si Yi—all of which had already had their baleful qi absorbed by him.
Seeing Yu Beixuan being so generous, Si Yi felt he couldn’t be stingy either. He simply handed over all the Demonic Spirit Stones he had collected.
“Since this is useful to you, you can keep them all.”
“I can tell the attribute is special—other people probably can’t use it anyway. It would just take up space with me.”
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
In his excitement, Yu Beixuan even forgot to add the surname.
At this moment, he felt that Si Yi was truly his own big brother.
Si Yi was somewhat speechless at how excited he was. Didn’t Yu Beimo always say his little brother was aloof and tsundere?
Where was the tsundere? Where was the aloofness?
He didn’t see it at all.
He felt Yu Beimo was not a qualified older brother—he didn’t understand his own sibling and deserved some criticism.
After leaving the entrance of Black Tortoise Academy, Si Yi searched for new prey while sending a message to Yu Beimo.
Yu Beimo: Why are you so free today? You actually took the initiative to contact me?
Si Yi: When I went to see my little brother, I saw your little brother.
Yu Beimo: ???
Yu Beimo: Oh, you saw our Xuanxuan? How was he? Has he grown taller? Lost weight? Does he look energetic?
Si Yi: Energetic enough. How would I know about height or weight? I’m not that familiar with him.
Yu Beimo: Can you send me a picture? I haven’t seen Xuanxuan in a long time. I miss him.
Yu Beimo: You saw it too, right? Isn’t our Xuanxuan especially cute? ?_?
Si Yi: Heh. Just average. Not as cute as my two younger brothers.
Yu Beimo: Tsk tsk, you really have no taste.
Yu Beimo: Since you have such poor taste, I won’t chat with you anymore.
Si Yi: Wait! Is it true what you said before—that your little brother is aloof and tsundere?
Yu Beimo: Of course it’s true. Xuanxuan really likes Father too. Every time he comes home, he prepares gifts for Father and secretly asks Mother about Father’s recent situation.
Yu Beimo: But if Father actually appears, he immediately runs away and calls it bad luck. Isn’t that tsundere behavior?
Si Yi: I don’t think so. That sounds more like fear of death, doesn’t it? After being tricked by Lord Yu so many times, how could he not think it’s bad luck to see him? How could he not run?
Yu Beimo: Although what you said makes sense, if you insist on arguing with me, I’ll just log off.
Si Yi was speechless. People always said he had a strange temper, but Yu Beimo didn’t seem very normal either.
Si Yi quickly sent another message.
Si Yi: Fine, I won’t argue. Let’s talk about your little brother being aloof.
Yu Beimo: There’s nothing to argue about there, right? Aside from being close to us family members, Xuanxuan has no friends outside.
Yu Beimo: I feel like he’s really too lonely. Since he can’t find a suitable friend, he treats his soul pet like a younger brother—even giving it a generational name.
Si Yi: But he became friends with my little brother.
Yu Beimo: What?
Si Yi: He didn’t even eat lunch—chased my brother all the way to the academy gates. When he found out my brother came to see me, his big brother, he still refused to leave.
Yu Beimo: !!!
Yu Beimo: Are you poisoned by Thorn Soul Grass again? Why do you seem even less normal than before?
Si Yi: Truth is, your little brother even called me Big Brother.
Yu Beimo: Are you crazy, or am I blind? How could my little brother call you Big Brother? I’m his real big brother!
Si Yi: But he really did.
Si Yi thought for a moment and slightly twisted the facts.
Si Yi: I tore off a roasted rabbit leg for him. After he finished eating it, he called me Big Brother.
Yu Beimo: I understand him! Big Brother! When are you going to roast me a pig’s trotter?
Si Yi: Get lost!
Si Yi felt he couldn’t get any useful information out of him. After striking a blow to Yu Beimo, he put away the communication device.
Since pig’s trotter had been mentioned, he might as well hunt a wild boar—roast it, then take a picture to show Yu Beimo.
