Following that, Li Tangyu spoke seriously: “Qing Qing, stop fooling around…”

“I’m talking about a serious matter…”

“Oh…” Li Qingqing nodded, and then settled down.

After Li Qingqing had calmed down, Li Tangyu continued to ask Huang Qingling:

“Fellow Daoist Qing Ling, has Little Sparrow had any unusual encounters recently?”

Huang Qingling pondered for a moment before answering:

“Unusual encounters?”

“I’m not sure…”

“Because I have been letting it roam outside recently and haven’t been paying much attention to it.”

“However, I indeed feel it has been getting smarter…”

“And now, it no longer eats food but has started consuming Elixir Medicines, those that enhance cultivation.”

“Not eating food but consuming Elixir Medicines…”

Li Tangyu repeated then seemed to recall something.

He reached into his Storage Bag and pulled out a walnut-sized black sphere.

Lin Jing looked closely, noticing that the surface of the sphere was pitted, and there were some dark red marks on it.

What Li Tangyu was holding was a Demonic Beast Inner Core.

Then, Li Tangyu displayed the Demonic Beast Inner Core to Little Sparrow.

“Little Sparrow, this is for you…”

Upon hearing Li Tangyu’s words, Little Sparrow cocked its head to look at Huang Qingling.

Huang Qingling looked up and said to Little Sparrow:

“Go ahead…’

“Also, return that Magic Artifact to him.”

Seeing that Huang Qingling had spoken, Little Sparrow did not hesitate, flying down from the roof beam.

It returned the Magic Artifact it had taken and then took the Demonic Beast Inner Core from Li Tangyu’s hand.

After that, it flew back to Huang Qingling’s side.

That’s right

Little Sparrow itself was capable of consuming Demonic Beast Inner Cores.

The first time Lin Jing saw Little Sparrow, it had taken the opportunity to attack when that yak-like Demonic Beast was gravely injured, burrowing into the creature’s skull and snatching its inner core.

It was only after Little Sparrow followed Huang Qingling and was disciplined by Elder Bai that it became much more docile.

But in its essence, it was still a Demonic Beast capable of swallowing Demonic Beast Inner Cores directly.

And then…

Little Sparrow opened its mouth wide, like a gaping abyssal maw, and actually swallowed the walnut-sized Demonic Beast Inner Core in one gulp.

The Inner Core, nearly as big as Little Sparrow’s head, slid smoothly down its throat and into its stomach.

After swallowing the Demonic Beast Inner Core, Little Sparrow then contentedly patted its belly with its wings.

Seeing Little Sparrow ingest the Inner Core, Li Tangyu reached into his Storage Bag again, then pulled out a small porcelain bottle.

He then opened the bottle and poured out an Elixir Medicine.

Lin Jing looked intently and saw that it was a Gathering Yuan Pill, and moreover, it was of Medium Grade.

Li Tangyu, holding the Gathering Yuan Pill, asked Huang Qingling:

“Sister Qing Ling, can it consume this?”

“It can…”

Huang Qingling nodded.

“Before you all arrived, Lin Jing already fed Little Sparrow one.”

After finishing her sentence, Huang Qingling’s eyes shifted, her lips curving into a mischievous smile. She pointed at Lin Jing and continued:

“And furthermore, this was the reward for letting Little Sparrow give you all a scare. ”

As soon as Huang Qingling finished speaking, the other three people all turned their heads, looking at Lin Jing.

“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….”
