Harness Cultivator - Chapter 139

“Do you finally understand how to convert the profound qi in this world into your dantain now?” Lee Tao asked with a somewhat exhausted expression.

He had spent the last few hours explaining and demonstrating things to Deng Lijuan.

And to make things worse, he was a harness cultivator that doesn’t follow the norm of a cultivator.

Thus, he had to falsify his act of converting the world’s profound qi into his dantian when in fact, it was just him utilizing his own profound qi.

After spending numerous hours, Deng Lijuan finally nodded her head in understanding.

“I see… but cultivating sounds like a pain in the ass.” Deng Lijuan muttered,

Having to sit in a lotus position for hours and can’t even move or do any other activities made it seem like she was living in a prison cell instead.

“That’s because cultivation is indeed boring as heck.” Lee Tao added.

There was finally one thing that they could agree on and that was; cultivating suck ass.

“Well, you can’t complain much, Deng Lijuan. You either cultivate to be strong to defend yourself. Or, you can forget about cultivating and be humiliated by the strong.” Lee Tao said casually.

Everyone has a right to choose, and he would allow Deng Lijuan to choose her path.

That way, whether she regrets her choice in the future, the fault would not lie on him but on her.

Deng Lijuan pondered for a few moments.

Soon, determination brimmed her eyes as she held onto the scroll tightly.

“I will cultivate, Master.” Deng Lijuan said in a serious tone.

“Would you stop calling me Master already??!” Lee Tao shouted aloud.

Meanwhile, Deng Lijuan stuck her tongue out as she began sitting in a lotus position to cultivate, clearly ignoring Lee Tao’s cries.

“What a smarty-pant you are…” Lee Tao grumbled slightly. He had told her that when cultivating, one must not disturb them no matter what.

And who would have thought she would use that as a tactic to end their conversation.

“Like Master, like disciple!” Xiao Chu suddenly appeared as she teased him.

“The Master is a shameless scoundrel. Therefore, the disciple he took in is also a shameless person.” She added.

“For the last freaking time, she’s not my disciple.” Lee Tao screamed at the top of his lungs.

Unwilling to hear Xiao Chu’s teasing any longer, Lee Tao decided to retrieve the two magical beasts that he had stolen from Chang Xiu.

“Omo, are you cooking right now?” Xiao Chu was surprised as drool began dripping down from the corner of her mouth.

“Yeah, I’ll be cooking you, my emergency food!” Lee Tao snickered coldly.

Xiao Chu clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She was the godsend system, here to provide assistance to Lee Tao, and not some kind of emergency food that he was yapping about.

“I want the tenderloin, Lee Tao.” Xiao Chu said and pointed at the most tenderized piece of the beast.

Lee Tao twitched his mouth.

“Why do you get the tenderized piece?” Lee Tao asked in a sarcastic tone. “I’m just going to cook you the toughest piece, so take it or leave it.”

Xiao Chu placed her hand on her hips as she made a grumpy face.

“How can you treat me like this, Lee Tao?” Xiao Chu asked with a pitiful expression.

“I’m just a poor malnourished loli girl~”

“…”

Malnourished? This bitch alone has a treasure stashed into her so-called system.

“Xiao Chu, get the fuck out right now.” Lee Tao pointed outside as he decided to kick her out.

Xiao Chu puffed out her chest in anger.

“Alright fine, I won’t tease you about Deng Lijuan anymore.” She said angrily.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

“That’s more like it, Xiao Chu. Remember, I’m the owner and you are my subordinate.” Lee Tao said.

“Tsk, my real owner is Tian Meif-”

Just as she was about to say Tian Meifen’s name, Xiao Chu suddenly stopped when she noticed a change in Lee Tao’s expression.

His profound gaze that seemingly pierce through everything in its path frightened Xiao Chu a little bit, even if she knew it wouldn’t deal any damage to her.

“So even after all this time, you still haven’t recognized me huh?” Lee Tao said solemnly.

Xiao Chu remained silent as she bit her lip softly.

Seeing her silent response, Lee Tao could only shake his head in disappointment.

“The food will be ready in about 30 minutes,” Lee Tao said as he began dissecting the magical beast.

However, it was clear that his mood had dropped down by quite a bit.

‘I’m sorry, Lee Tao… It’s not that I don’t want to make you the owner, but the restriction placed on me made it impossible to do so.’ Xiao Chu apologized inwardly.

Sometime later, a large crystal core appeared around the inner neck of the magical beast, dumbfounding Lee Tao.

“Woah, who would have thought the magical beast I slain had a huge monster core.” Lee Tao exclaimed in shock.

A monster core is embedded with rich profound qi that can increase a person’s cultivation drastically. It’s an extremely priceless and valuable item that every cultivator wants.

In addition, it was also the main reason why cultivators hunt magical beasts in the first place. Not only could the monster core from the magical beast help improve the cultivation speed, but it could also help them get rich easily by selling it.

Of course, it was easier said than done since monster cores usually appeared 1 in 10 magical beasts or even longer if they’re unlucky.

As Lee Tao glanced around the density of the monster core in his hand, he suddenly yawned aloud.

“Monster cores are useless for me,” Lee Tao sighed softly.

Although he could always detect what kind of magical beasts have a monster core in their body, he would rarely bother himself with such tedious work.

After all, he can’t even use the monster core to cultivate, rendering the whole meaning of getting a monster core useless.

“Heaven must really want to screw me over with this kind of luck…”
