At night.
Zhou Ye was busy cultivating.
Crimson continued to stand beside the spirit spring and looked at them.
Honestly speaking, she was a little unhappy.
After all, this was her home.
However, the demon pearl that Lu Xiaoyuan gave dissipated all the unhappiness in Crimson’s heart. She instead hoped that Lu Xiaoyuan could stay here every day. She wanted to worship Lu Xiaoyuan like her ancestor.
Crimson opened her mouth. A few rays of red light appeared, circling around the fiery red demon pearl.
The red light lifted the demon pearl up. Then, the demon pearl landed in Crimson’s mouth.
She wasn’t able to chew the pearl casually like Lu Xiaoyuan. She could only absorb the energy carefully.
In the spirit spring.
Lu Xiaoyuan felt the pressure around Crimson rising. She glanced at Crimson and ignored her.
“Little rabbit, the Qi in the spirit spring is very thick but why is your cultivation rising so slowly?” Lu Xiaoyuan scratched her head. She didn’t understand what was happening.
The higher your cultivation state, the faster your absorption of Qi. However, the amount of energy you need for each breakthrough was increasing too.
However, the little rabbit was just at the early stage of Xuan Core.
To Lu Xiaoyuan, the early stage of Xuan Core was just a low state.
Yaoyao felt depressed when she heard Lu Xiaoyuan’s words.
She sighed and replied, “Sister Deer, you don’t understand the pain of weak demons like us.”
“What pain?” Lu Xiaoyuan was a little curious.
“I don’t know about other demons but from the moment I gained my intellect, I can only rely on myself on the path of cultivation, and through countless trial-and-error, I found myself here. Fortunately, I have intellect. If not, I would just be food for those demons.”
“Are you saying that you hadn’t learned any cultivation dharmic formula?” Lu Xiaoyuan understood what Lu Xiaoyuan was implying.
“That’s right. If not, I would have been able to reach manifestation state much earlier.” Yaoyao shook her head.
The demons who didn’t have any powerful individuals backing them or any luck were all in this situation.
With no one teaching them any cultivation dharmic formula, they had to find out everything themselves.
Hence, it was normal that their progress in cultivation was slow. After all, their foundation wasn’t very solid either.
But, Yaoyao’s condition was not bad. She was quite lucky and her foundation was quite solid. Her problem was that she just hadn’t learned any cultivation dharmic formula. If she continued like this, the highest state she could achieve was the Xuan Core realm.
“This is simple.” Lu Xiaoyuan understood the reason.
“My potential is average so I can’t create a cultivation dharmic formula that’s suitable for myself.” Yaoyao shook her head.
“What cultivation dharmic formula do you want? I have a lot of them.”
Lu Xiaoyuan was very confident when she said this.
She stretched her little hand out, and numerous balls of light the size of her fingernails appeared on her palm.
These balls each had different colors. All of them had their own unique glow.
“Try it yourself and see if there’s any suitable for you.” Lu Xiaoyuan pushed the balls of light in front of Yaoyao.
“Huh?” Yaoyao was a little stunned.
“You don’t want it? If you don’t want it, I will keep them.”
Yaoyao was in a dilemma. She didn’t know what to do.
On one side, this was her chance. However, she didn’t feel that she could receive them without giving anything in exchange.
She took a deep breath.
After remaining silent for some time, she opened her mouth and said, “Thank you, Sister Deer.”
Yaoyao bowed at Lu Xiaoyuan sincerely.
The moment she bent her back, Lu Xiaoyuan lifted her hand and held her up. She smiled and replied, “From now on, you are my younger sister. You don’t have to be so polite!”
“You are passing me a formula. This is a great favor. Looking at this from a cultivator’s point of view, it’s the same as raising me up.” Yaoyao’s expression was serious.
She continued her bow firmly.
This time, Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment. In the end, she didn’t stop Yaoyao.
“Alright, hurry up and choose your formula,” Lu Xiaoyuan said.
“Okay.”
Yaoyao raised her finger. There was a ring of pink light circling around her fat finger. She started touching the balls of light one by one.
If the ball of light didn’t shatter, it meant that the formulation wasn’t compatible with her. She couldn’t force it.
There were 81 balls of light in total.
In a short time, Yaoyao had already touched 70 balls of light, but there were no results.
She was a little nervous.
If none of the 81 balls shattered, it meant that this wasn’t her opportunity.
On the other hand, Lu Xiaoyuan wasn’t anxious at all. Instead, she was very calm.
Every time Yaoyao failed, she would keep the ball of light that wasn’t compatible with Yaoyao.
“Sister Deer, do you think that my potential is too low? Is that why none of these cultivation dharmic formulas aren’t suitable for me?” Yaoyao was dejected.
Even though there were only eleven formulas left, her chances weren’t high.
“You need to believe in yourself.” Lu Xiaoyuan was serious.
In her heart, she was sniggering.
The best ones were placed at the back.
It would be no fun if she got what she wanted at the beginning.
“Yes.” Yaoyao nodded.
Her hope wasn’t high but she should still give it a try.
The next ball of light didn’t shatter. It wasn’t compatible with her.
She touched the next one. It still didn’t shatter. It wasn’t compatible.
Her mood was getting worse and worse.
She even started suspecting her life.
“Don’t give up. If you miss this chance, you will regret it for life.” Lu Xiaoyuan encouraged her at the side.
“Okay.”
With Lu Xiaoyuan’s encouragement, Yaoyao got motivated again.
She continued touching the balls of light.
One by one.
In the end, only a small light ball with a yellow glow was left.
“Sigh.” Yaoyao sighed.
She felt that she should finish the entire process.
She raised her hand and used her index finger to poke the ball.
She raised her head and looked at Lu Xiaoyuan. Just as she was about to give up, she noticed something amiss on her finger.
Lu Xiaoyuan smiled brightly like a flower.
Yaoyao felt that the moment she touched the ball of light with the tip of her finger, warmth enveloped her fingertip.
She gave it a try and pushed her finger forward.
“Pfft.”
The ball of light shattered, leaving a light yellow spot floated in mid-air.
Oh my god, so it was here.
Yaoyao smiled happily. She pointed at the ball of light and said to Lu Xiaoyuan, “Look, Sister Deer, I do have some potential.”
“There’s really a dharmic formula that is suitable for me.”
“Impressive.” Lu Xiaoyuan gave her a thumbs up cooperatively.
Yaoyao stretched her hand out and pinched the spot of light. She then placed the spot of light on her forehead.
“Swoosh.”
The moment the spot of light touched her forehead, the light seeped into her body.
“The status is so high…”
After absorbing the cultivation dharmic formula, Yaoyao understood all about this dharmic formula.
When she saw the status of this dharmic formula, she was elated. At the same time, she felt that she wasn’t worthy of the gift.
She was just an insignificant rabbit demon. What did she do to be able to receive this high-level dharmic formula?
“Sister Deer, thank you!” Yaoyao thanked Lu Xiaoyun wholeheartedly.
“It’s nothing.” Lu Xiaoyuan waved her hand. She didn’t care about it.
Zhou Ye had already woken up from the commotion. He was extremely frustrated. He glared at the two demons before starting his cultivation again.
This was such a good environment for cultivation. Why weren’t they cultivating and chatting instead?
Zhou Ye condemned such wasteful behavior.
“Sister Deer, my cultivation state is too low. There’s nothing I can use to repay you. In the future, after my cultivation state increases, I will do anything you order me to do!” Yaoyao’s expression was very serious.
“Alright.” Lu Xiaoyuan nodded. Then, she smiled and pounced on Yaoyao.
“Splash!”
Yaoyao was caught off her guard. She got pushed into the water by Lu Xiaoyuan.
“Cough, cough.” Yaoyao emerged from the surface of the water. She wiped the water off her face and coughed a few times.
“Are you alright?” Lu Xiaoyuan asked.
“I’m fine.” Yaoyao shook her head.
“Alright. Go and cultivate then.” Lu Xiaoyuan waved her hand.
“Okay.” Yaoyao nodded.
Lu Xiaoyuan touched her hair. It was wet and a little messy. It felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to untie her hair but she remembered that she didn’t know how to do it.
This was the hairstyle the man with the big face had helped her to style 5000 years ago…
Her hands stopped in mid-air. She felt a little awkward.
Lu Xiaoyuan glanced at Yaoyao who was cultivating. She sighed.
Then, she turned and looked at the spider demon…
On the shore, Crimson had just finished absorbing the energy from the pearl and now, her cultivation state was at the peak of her current state. She felt exhilarated.
She raised her head and looked at Lu Xiaoyuan’s direction. Unexpectedly, the other party had turned to look at her.
At that moment.
Their gazes met.
Crimson instinctively felt that something was wrong.
“Little spider, come and help me tidy my hair.”
“Oh… huh?” Crimson was shocked.
What did she say? I’m just a spider demon. How do I know how to do that?
“Why are you still standing there?” Lu Xiaoyuan rolled her eyes.
“Hurry up and come over.”
“Okay,” Crimson replied and moved her eight legs as she skittered towards Lu Xiaoyuan.
Crimson was flustered. However, she didn’t dare to say anything.
She was afraid that she would be beaten up badly.
That wasn’t what she wanted.
At the same time, she had a guess.
She was guessing if Senior Deer had purposely asked her to do this.
If she didn’t do it properly, Senior Deer could use it as an excuse to beat her.
If that really happened, she would be dead.
She regretted agreeing to Senior Deer’s request too quickly.
