Chapter 166 - Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Demon Cultivator (2/2)

“Cough cough…”

Feeling somewhat uneasy under the gaze of the three, Lin Jing quickly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

Then he went on:

“I was just impressed by how smart Little Sparrow is, and wanted to test her,” “It turns out that Brother Lin shares my curiosity about this matter.”

Li Tangyu, upon hearing this, did not blame Lin Jing but instead expressed understanding.

Zhang Yuan also nodded in agreement.

Li Qingqing, the only one who was frightened and a bit emotional, also forgave Lin Jing for the sake of the delicacy.

This, however, let Huang Qingling down as she was hoping to see some excitement.

Next, Li Tangyu placed the Elixir Medicine in his palm and said to Little Sparrow:

“Little Sparrow, this is for you…”

Little Sparrow, who had been listening to the conversation, turned her head upon hearing Li Tangyu’s words, glanced at Huang Qingling, and seeing no objection, flew straight over.

She came to Li Tangyu, opened her beak to place the Magic Artifact in his hand.

Then, she took the Medium Grade Gathering Yuan Pill and flew back to Huang Qingling’s side.

Just like before, Little Sparrow swallowed the pill directly.

She then continued standing on Huang Qingling’s shoulder as if nothing had happened, looking at everyone.

After witnessing this, Li Tangyu frowned and pondered for a long while before saying:

“Being able to consume Demonic Beast Inner Cores, as well as Elixir Medicine that enhances Cultivation…”

“If I’m not mistaken, Little Sparrow’s condition should be transitioning towards becoming a Demon Cultivator.”

Zhang Yuan next to Li Tangyu nodded upon hearing this:

“Brother Li is correct, there are records of this in my family’s library.”

“However, Little Sparrow seems to be different…”

Lin Jingzhi had heard about Demon Cultivators before but didn’t understand the specifics, so he asked:

“What exactly is a Demon Cultivator?”

“And…”

“What does Brother Zhang mean by saying Little Sparrow is different? Is she unlike other Demonic Beasts?”

When Lin Jing finished speaking, Zhang Yuan began to explain:

“Demon Cultivators are divided into two types…”

“One type is born with spiritual intelligence and resembles Human Cultivators in appearance but retains some features of Demonic Beasts, as well as their racial talents.”

“Only after passing the transformation tribulation can they completely transform into the human form.”

“Such Demon Cultivators have ancestors who were powerful Demonic Beasts that overcame the transformation tribulation, and it’s precisely because their ancestors were so strong…”

“That they are born as Demon Cultivators instead of Demonic Beasts.” “The other type originates from Demonic Beasts who cultivate.”

“To transform into a Demon Cultivator, a Demonic Beast first needs strong Cultivation and must awaken spiritual intelligence…”

“After these two conditions are met, through prolonged cultivation, they can undergo a metamorphosis and become a true Demon Cultivator.”

“Of course…”

“There are also some powerful Demonic Beasts who, after awakening spiritual intelligence, choose not to assume human form.”

“Instead, they continue cultivating in their bestial form.”

“Ordinarily, Demonic Beasts improve their Cultivation, gradually awakening spiritual intelligence. The higher the Cultivation of the Demonic Beast, the greater their intelligence, until eventually they become indistinguishable from humans…”

“Around that time, they would typically undergo the transformation tribulation…”

“But to see Little Sparrow awaken spiritual intelligence so early and start transitioning towards being a Demon Cultivator is a first for me.” “That’s what makes her different from the rest, ” Zhang Yuan said.

After a moment of silence, Li Tangyu spoke again:

“Actually, there are other methods that can enable a Demonic Beast to awaken spiritual intelligence early on and begin the transformation into a Demon

Cultivator.”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yuan nodded and said:

“Enlightenment by a great demon…” “Right,” Li Tangyu nodded. “It’s impossible for a great demon…”

Zhang Yuan shook his head:

“In the entire Nanming Domain, there are no great demons capable of enlightening Demonic Beasts….”
