Chapter 58 – Family Tradition

Chapter 58 – Family TraditionThe silent treatment from Anda ended and she was back to normal. However, Leyvi was not allowed to go outside the city again until the day they departed for the Alchemy Conference. Leyvi could only abide by this, he brought this to himself after all.

During the time Leyvi and Valenia were away, Anda put up some Medium Healing Elixirs she made on the market and the people of Bara City were once again competing to buy them, especially the cultivators who specialized in fighting, this was a product they couldn't miss since it could save their life at any moment.

Since their family was wealthy now, Leyvi decided not to sell the demonic beasts they hunted. Any profit they made would only be a chump change now. So, Leyvi gave all of them to Layla as she has a lot of experience in this field. 

Nowadays, Layla's body has been reacting when interacting with Leyvi more and more as Leyvi never forgot to act gentlemanly with her. Layla forcefully suppressed her desire and continued to do her task as requested.

She divided all the demonic beast's carcasses into a few portions. Firstly, anything that could be used as alchemy ingredients, she gave them all to Anda. Then, the parts that could be used as weapon refinement materials, she stored them in the family treasury as nobody could utilize them right now.

Afterward, all the edible parts were given to Tasya for cooking. Lastly, the remainder were refined into energy essence in the form of a paste that could be given to the spirit beasts to enhance their power. This was a technique that Layla learned while she was in the Treasure Pavilion. This was how the Treasure Pavilion was able to profit from any part of the demonic beast. The demonic cores were also given to Leyvi's spirit beasts.

Right now, The Leyan Family has an abundance of cultivation resources that could be used for a long period and it would only grow bigger from here. The Qi Refinement realm in the house had Qi Refining pills that Anda concocted, the Foundation Building realm and above had a massive amount of spirit stones to use, and Leyvi's spirit beasts had the Essence Paste and the demonic cores.

In the training basement,

"Lilian, are you ready? Use your full power." Leyvi instructed.

After tasting the power of the high-level demonic gorilla, Leyvi decided to fight with Lilian who also had just broken through to compare the difference between a demonic beast and a cultivator.

Lilian nodded and immediately unleashed her Qi. The wood aura emitted from her body filled the entire training room. Additionally, she focused her spiritual sense on Leyvi and exerted spiritual pressure on him. Leyvi's body instantly felt heavy under the pressure.

"Now attack me!" Leyvi told Lilian as he activated his Fiery Trailblazing Body.

Without hesitation, Lilian conjured a huge thick vine and whipped it toward Leyvi. Leyvi met the vine attack with his Big Bang Punch. 

BOOOMMMM!

He was sent flying and crashed into the wall. Leyvi's punch made a huge hole in the vine but it was quickly restored by Lilian. Leyvi stood up again and assessed his body. He wasn't injured but his body felt some pain from the impact.

Leyvi concluded that the high-level demonic gorilla was way stronger than Lilian. However, if Lilian fought with the demonic gorilla, it didn't necessarily mean that she would lose, it just meant that her physical power was at a disadvantage. She could rely on her martial skills, strategy, spiritual sense, or weapons to gain an advantage. 

A demonic beast grows stronger by cultivating their body while a human grows stronger by cultivating their Qi. Therefore it made sense that the demonic beasts were physically superior to the humans while the humans were superior in using Qi to fight. Not to mention, humans have developed countless martial skills, arrays and formations, spirit weapons and artifacts, and more. All of these revolved around Qi usage.

There were also humans who cultivated their bodies but because the human body was fundamentally more suited to cultivating Qi, body cultivating wasn't so popular among humans. Not only it was harder, but it also required more resources. Usually, only cultivators born with defective meridian or dantian opted for the body-cultivating method since they had no other choice.

Leyvi continued to fight against Lilian but no matter what he did he couldn't defeat Lilian. Although he was invincible in the same realm, the gap across the realm was way too big. No wonder the Masked Bandit was easily killed from a distance by the Core Formation cultivator that passed by the central vent at that time.

After training with Lilian, he accompanied her for a day indulging her in gardening activities and intimate moments. The area around the mansion that was previously full of grass was now full of beautiful flowers thanks to Lilian.

On another matter, after Leyvi discussed with Anda about giving the sword talent to Valenia, she suggested giving her the talent right away instead of waiting for her to become his concubine because she was already her Alchemic Knight so any kind of betrayal was unlikely.

Leyvi looked at the menu and saw that he had many benefits now. However, half of them were never utilized. Leyvi didn't mind, this was just the beginning and he still had a long time in his life. There was no need to rush.

What he didn't expect was that Valenia's feeling point was at 70. To Leyvi, that was pretty good considering that he liked to annoy her. He expected the numbers to be around 50-60 but somehow she liked him more than he thought.

A day after Leyvi gave Valenia the Sword talent, she excitedly came to his room and invited him to a fight. Leyvi chuckled as he knew her intention. Girl, I was the one who gave you that talent and you want to beat me up using it. 

"Why are you suddenly so brave today challenging me, Val?" Leyvi pretended not to know.

"Hehe. You were about to taste the strength of a sword cultivator!" Valenia took out her enormous broadsword and pointed it at Leyvi.

"Are you sure you are a sword cultivator? A mace cultivator was more suitable." Leyvi teased her with a sly smile.

"Of course I'm a sword cultivator, a broadsword is also a sword! Watch this!" Valenia retorted.

Suddenly, a huge sharp aura could be felt coming from Valenia who was holding her broadsword. If not because of the formations in the training room, each wave of the sharp aura would slice and dice the area around her.

"Oh? Is this Sword Intent?" Leyvi was intrigued. Leyvi had heard about the existence of Weapon Intent. Sword Intent was one of many Weapon Intent. It was similar to the power of the Elemental Concept for example the Fire Concept learned by Anda. This means that the Weapon Intent was also something that cultivators learned after gaining an insight into the Dao.

"That's right! Only the most talented sword user could achieve something like this in their life! And now I'm one of them!" Valenia proudly bragged to Leyvi's face.

"Pftt.....Hahaha!......Hahaha!" Leyvi couldn't hold it anymore and started laughing out loud. He just couldn't help it. It was too funny. Although she was clueless about the truth, bragging about her new power in front of the person who gave it to her was simply comedy.

Valenia was stunned.

Last night when she was cultivating, she heard some mysterious voice, and suddenly she knew how to use the Sword Intent. She thought she had some sort of enlightenment phenomenon that she heard in the legend because how else could she suddenly know about Sword Intent? She also felt that she only unlocked a tiny portion of this power and there was a massive Sword Aura still sealed and untapped.

She was so happy about her lucky encounter and the first person she thought of to brag about it was Leyvi. So, she invited him to the training room to show off. However, as soon as she started to brag, the shocked face that she imagined didn't happen, instead, he was laughing at her. Why?

Valenia teared up. She didn't expect to cry over something like this.

Seeing Valenia's tears start to drop, it was Leyvi's turn to be stunned.

Was he too insensitive? Leyvi couldn't believe he made a girl cry for the first time. Leyvi reflected on his actions, he was indeed over the line. Although Valenia looked like a tomboy, she was still a maiden with a delicate heart. 

Leyvi approached her and apologized. 

However, Valenia looked at him upset and then turned around without saying anything. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Leyvi was familiar with this. It was the damn silent treatment again!

What the heck? Did everyone learn this trick from Anda? Is this going to be a family tradition or something?

Leyvi felt dizzy.
