My Journey to Immortality
Ch 21 - Travelling.

One day after Suja met the four Dao Beasts and the five Sacred Beasts that she requested from Heavenseal, Suja along with Cing Cia, Suqian, the three Nascent Soul Cultivators, were among them, ten Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators, and one additional servant finally set out to leave Chang An city to begin the cultivation desired by him.

Tang Yue was finally willing to let go of Xi Suja after Suja accompanied her for a whole day for a few days, besides that Tang Yue also gave a stern warning to Cing Cia making Cing Cia frown in annoyance.

"Xi'er, you have to promise me that you'll always be careful out there" Suja got tired of hearing her mother's words from the morning.

"Yes yes, I am calm. I'll definitely be fine, after all I gave 10 more people to take care of me but why is mom like this anyway?".

"Mother is like this because it's also because of you! Just try it if you stay in the Palace, don't go wandering! I don't want you to do anything, son!".

It feels like Suja's ears will explode hearing her mother's words, without being able to defend every self scolded like that.

"Mother, I'm…..".

"Yes yes, I understand. But you have to promise you'll be okay out there!" Suja just nodded and quickly invited her guards to leave in order to avoid her mother's long lecture again.

Followed by all of his subordinate cultivators riding a nice horse given by Xiao Chen, Suja set out to explore the outside world accompanied also by Tasya who forced her to become Suja's mount.

Suqian and all the other bodyguards were shocked when they saw their young master riding a Dao Beast of the Nine-Tailed Dao Beast even more so with a female, a female, Suja only gave them a brief explanation that she had many saint beasts bound by her contract.

Out of Chang An city Suja's entourage moved into the forest to look for Demonic Beasts as his training target, Suja himself used mana power to comb through the forest area and found two Demonic Beasts that were bear-type eating their prey.

"Let's go there" without saying another word Suja asked Tasya to approach the two Demonic Beasts.

Seen two Demonic Beasts eating the flesh of a deer in front of them, Suja stared at the two Deminic Beasts sharply and then came down from Tasya's back.

"How dare you approach Chang An city!".

……!!!!!!

The two Demonic Beast Bears roared and directly attacked Suja without warning, Suja calmly dodged the claws of the two demon bears and pulled out her sword.

The sword he used was a Katana-type Mortal Spirit Tool, it was a special order to a sword forging cultivator introduced by Suqian.

His sword was made using a special metal mixed with Spirit Stone as well as his own blood, the power of the sword will follow the strength of its owner in other words the higher and stronger the practice of Suja, the stronger the sword will be and has the possibility to evolve into Spirit Tools Heaven Low-tier.

"It's time to test my pencak silat martial arts!".

Using the mana that flowed on both legs, Suja darted towards the two Demonic Beasts who were preparing to attack him again.

"A combined, the first form: Demon Cut!".

A circular strike was released and the sword energy that lay out struck the two demon bears, but the attack did not deal too much damage as the two demon bears possessed strength equivalent to that of a Mid-stage Formation Core Cultivator.

"Second Form: death swab!".

Puncture attacks were again launched but again the two attacks did not provide significant damage, seeing that the two bears attacked again and this time they attacked alternately.

The attacks from the two demon bears were partially averted by Suja but most of them managed to hit her, the pain of being hit by the claw from the nail of a demonic bear felt extremely overwhelming but it made him even more challenged to defeat the two demonic beasts.

Countlessly Suja took out a stone and drained mana before using it to throw one of her enemies, one of the demon bears was unlucky for being targeted by the stone throw by Suja.

The stone that flowed mana became stronger and directly hit one of the bears on the right, seeing his friend in pain the other bear growled and attacked using fire element magic attacks.

Suja who had not expected to face the bear who was able to use Daoist Magic was shocked and unable to dodge, the attack from the bear hit him and burned his hand.

"""YOUNG MASTER!!""".

Suqian and the others had been observing their young master's fight since earlier, when they saw Suja being hit by the fire element attack they immediately reacted.

Suqian ordered some Core Formation Cultivators to eliminate the two bears and take out the second Core, while the others approached Suja and Cing Cia using the water element Talisman to extinguish the blazing fire burning the body of his young master.

"Young master, please change your clothes first" the maid who came with them gave her a set of clothes she had taken from the spatial ring.

"Young master, the two Demonic Beasts in the form of bears that the young master had fought were Demonic Beasts who had created their respective Cores. 

One of them has a blue core while the other is red, when compared, the strength of the two is like heaven and earth because of course Demonic Beasts with Blue Core are stronger than those with Red Core" One of the three explained as Suja looked confused due to the difference in color of the two Cores of the Demonic Beast.

"What are the uses then?" One of them took out a red-colored Core and flowed Qi into it.

The core that gained the Qi flow turned yellow and felt it had an increased strength from before, as the blue-colored Core in the Qi Core flow turned into a Green-colored Core and its strength also increased higher than before.

"Hmm so that's the case, this Core will change color and increase in strength if it is fed Qi. Then how did the Demon Cultivator absorb all the power from this Core?" One of the ten Core Formation cultivators advanced and explained the ways a Demon Cultivator absorbed all the power from the Core Demonic Beast used.

The way of absorption was actually the same as using manuals in general, the difference was that a Demon Cultivator had to touch the Core used and use Qi to draw all the power from a Core used to improve his practice.

The more Cores used, the more Qi used to absorb them and the longer the process takes.

That Cultivator explained in detail every single stage that Demon Cultivators carried out, Demon Cultivators were also not limited to using Demonic Core to raise the level of their practice.

A Demon Cultivator can also use the core of a Spirit Beast or Dao Beast, either, however the difference of one Spirit Core from a Spirit Beast required Qi and a longer time to be absorbed was comparable to the speed of increasing their practice.

Hundreds of years ago there were many cultivators who were Spirit Cultivators because there used to be so many Spirit Beasts roaming the land, but because of something many Spirit Beasts disappeared along with the many Demonic Beasts that had sprung up.

Due to the difficulty of searching for Spirit Core then Spirit Cultivators began to switch to using Demonic Core, when they had absorbed one Demonic Core then they had indirectly switched to a black flow cultivator.

"All right, I understand, thanks for the explanation".

"It's an honor for us to explain this to the young master!" The cultivator paid his respects and felt happy to be praised by his master indirectly.

"You don't need to be formal, act like you are with your own friends because I don't want to have subordinates but many friends".

Suqian and the other cultivators were flattered, only this time did they see a noble like their young master who did not let his subordinates be formal and instead told to be casual.

Most of the nobles they had met back then were nobles who were concerned for their families and themselves, only a few had the attitude and traits of their young masters these days.

"Thank you young master, we are very happy to hear it" Suja simply nodded.

"If any of you can use it to improve your practice, then use it because it is useless to me" the ten Core Formation Cultivators and three Nascent Soul Cultivators drew closer when they heard Suja say that the second Core Demonic Beast was useless to her.

"But the young master, other than being used to improve the practice by the Demon Cultivator. Cores like this can also be sold or exchanged for resources or pills that can help practice, and also the young master who has fought the two bears.

At least the young master kept it, although among us there were former Demon Cultivators but now we are subordinates of the young master" Nascent Soul's champ who escorted him tried to give him some understanding.

"No, even though senior said there were more uses but I still wouldn't use them. After all if you want resources, Spirit Stones, or pills you don't have to buy them. As the person you are protecting, I will give you everything you need every month so you don't have to use stuff like this unless you have to.

As for the time being I know there is one of you who is experiencing congestion despite having been helped by the Association's granting resources, if with this Core the bottleneck can be overcome then wear it I don't mind" A Core Formation Cultivator advanced and saluted before taking those two Cores and using them near a tree.

Suja and her entourage waited for the cultivator to practice, they chose to sit down and eat some small food they brought from the Palace.
