In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 63 What is the meaning of life? (Thanks to the generous donor "太上唯一" for the donation)

At this moment, Su Yuan had only one thought in mind—to finish cooking the roast goose as quickly as possible and then leave.

After being repeatedly tormented by that little devil, I am now definitely a thorn in the side of my future teacher, Taibai Baiji.

Once you get into the special training class, you'll be promoted every day!
"Master Taibai, where are the ingredients I need to prepare?"

After sending Chen Nuoyi a message saying that he was at Taibai Zhenren's house and that she didn't need to worry, Su Yuan cautiously asked...

Before Taibai Baiji could speak, Taibai Yuxi raised her little hand:

"I know how to do this problem. I'll take my older brother to the answer."

As she spoke, the white-haired little girl trotted off towards the kitchen with her short legs.

Looking in the direction the white-haired loli had gone, Su Yuan didn't dare to turn back and quickly followed.

But I always felt a sharp gaze following me from behind.

Upon arriving at the spacious and clean kitchen, Su Yuan was startled by the two ingredients placed there.

One of the ingredients is a large bamboo rat that is half the height of a person, with a shiny, juicy exterior and looks very plump.

Although it was just a bamboo rat, it exuded the ferocity of a Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast, a terrifying existence capable of instantly killing Su Yuan.

Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts are not as cheap as Qi Refining stage spirit beasts.

The latter can be raised in large quantities, so the price can be reduced to several thousand yuan per head, and the meat yield can be over 100 kilograms, but the former cannot.

No matter what kind of spirit beast it is, once it breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the difficulty of raising it increases significantly.

In the ancient times of cultivating immortality, a Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast was a demon king who dominated a small mountain.

This habit, passed down for countless years, gives almost all Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts a territorial instinct deep in their bones.

Even in the modern era of cultivation, at most they can only be free-range, not industrialized.

Therefore, even a bamboo rat with very low meat yield, a spirit beast in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, can fetch a price of over 100,000.

The bamboo rat in front of Su Yuan was not even at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but a demon king at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Its market price is estimated to be close to one million! That's equivalent to about half a year's income for a worker in the Foundation Establishment stage!
But then, Su Yuan was surprised to find that his monthly income was enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Demon King, which was pretty impressive.

This demonstrates the superiority of the modern cultivation world's people-oriented approach. Even a spirit beast demon king in the Foundation Establishment stage is far less valuable and productive than any ordinary worker.

Human rights are above all other rights.

For example, a wild boar can easily kill a fragile college student, but a college student's monthly salary after graduation can directly buy a wild boar.

The relationship between Su Yuan and the Foundation Establishment Demon King is slightly different from that between a college student and a wild boar, but it is similar.

Moreover, although Su Yuan's raw strength is not comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Demon King, as long as he can equip himself with some offensive magic weapons and bombard it with cannons, even ten Foundation Establishment Demon Kings would have to kneel.

However, to be fair, this giant bamboo rat in the late Foundation Establishment stage still poses a significant threat to Su Yuan, who is unarmed.

However, this large bamboo rat, which was neither caged nor had its cultivation sealed, showed no aggression whatsoever.

Instead, he huddled in a corner, shivering as if he had heatstroke, completely lacking the domineering aura of a demon king.

As for the reason, it's naturally because of another ingredient in the kitchen.

It was a white snake, over ten meters long, that was lazily curled up on the ground, enjoying the cool air.

This white snake is even more formidable; judging by its cultivation level, it must be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!

In addition, given the snake's restraining relationship with the rat, it would be a miracle if the tiny bamboo rat could cause any trouble.

It was precisely because the kitchen was teeming with snakes and rats that the well-informed Su Yuan was so startled.

Looking at the two ingredients, Su Yuan was speechless.

Rich people really don't know what's good for them. They don't eat perfectly good chicken, duck, fish, and meat, but instead insist on eating rats and snakes.

But since they're the big spender, I have to step up no matter how difficult it is.

He looked at the white-haired loli: "Yu Xi, which one do you want to eat first?" Upon hearing this, Tai Bai Yu Xi was stunned for a moment.

Then, under Su Yuan's shocked gaze, the white-haired loli pouted, and her golden eyes became misty.

Su Yuan: "..."

Dude, aren't you supposed to be a mischievous little devil who loves to stir up trouble? Why are you suddenly crying?

Q: What should I do if I make a Golden Core cultivator's daughter cry in front of him?
Waiting online, very anxious!

Sure enough, a dark figure appeared beside Su Yuan like a ghost.

But when Su Yuan cautiously turned his head to look, he was surprised to find that Tai Baiji did not seem to be angry at all.

Instead, he looked at the white snake with a touch of sadness and slowly explained:

“Su Yuan, Bai Ling is not an ingredient, but Yu Xi’s spirit pet.”

"This girl encountered danger when she was a child and was saved by Bai Ling, but Bai Ling was seriously injured and her lifespan is almost over."

Tai Baiji sighed:

"This bamboo rat was originally bought for Bai Ling to eat, but Bai Ling is already exhausted and can't eat anything."

Su Yuan remained silent.

He looked up again at the white snake named Bai Ling.

On the snake's body, the edges of the crystal-clear, jade-like white scales had an unnatural pale tinge.

Because the opponent was a spirit beast at the peak of Foundation Establishment, Su Yuan could not see the opponent's fate except by using his one-time "Fate Change" opportunity.

Even without looking, it's clear that Bai Ling's vitality is like a candle flickering in the wind; she won't live for many more days.

Sigh, I should have kept quiet.

Su Yuan felt somewhat guilty.

But once the words were spoken, they couldn't be taken back. Su Yuan could only pretend that nothing had happened and do his best to be a good bamboo rat and comfort the white-haired loli's wounded heart.

Just as Su Yuan was about to harm the bamboo rat, Taibai Yuxi's soft, childlike voice suddenly rang out:
"Big brother, what is the meaning of life?"

Su Yuan turned around suddenly!
He looked at the white-haired loli in horror, only to see her lower her head, her long, silvery-white hair covering her face, and her whole body exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Damn it! Damn it!
What kind of malicious statement is this?

From the moment Su Yuan first discovered Taibai Yuxi's true nature, he felt that this little girl was somewhat strange and a bit sinister.

This girl is so young yet she already possesses terrifying strength that could instantly kill a Qi Refining high school student like myself; her future potential is immeasurable.

If she walks the righteous path, that's fine, but if she really goes down the demonic path...

That would truly make her a complete witch.

Now, the opportunity for this little girl to turn evil has arrived. Once the white snake who accompanied her as she grew up dies, will she directly take on Orochimaru's role?

Will I be sacrificed to the heavens?

Su Yuan hoped his guess was wrong, but the sudden "ding-dong" sound made his heart sink again!
You witnessed history!

[A righteous powerhouse of unparalleled talent, whose abilities surpass those of all ages, finds himself on the edge between the righteous and demonic paths due to a tremendous upheaval!]

At this moment, you only need to act as the behind-the-scenes manipulator to gently push a future leader of the righteous path to the demonic path. You are overjoyed and extremely excited about this!

Dog system... I really hope you're joking this time.
