Cultivation Online

Shortly after consuming the demon core, Yuan began feeling pain all over his body, and his skin even began turning red, almost as though he was turning into a demon himself.

When Qi Fang, who was still in range, heard Yuan's screaming, she immediately turned around and ran to his building.

"Hey! What's going on?! Why are you screaming like that?! Open the door!" Qi Fang banged on the door as she shouted, but Yuan was obviously too busy to answer the door, and he was in too much pain to even hear her voice.

"Answer me when I speak to you!" Qi Fang did not have the patience and decided to kick the door down.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?! What did you do?!" Qi Fang was shocked to see Yuan writhing in pain on the floor, and his body was burning red.

Qi Fang went to pick him up, but she didn't know what to do from there, so she decided to put him back down and went to call for a doctor.

"W-Wait right here! I am going to get a doctor! Don't you dare die on me!" Qi Fang said to him before running for help.

Meanwhile, Yuan was busy trying to suppress whatever was acting up inside his body.

"You silly thing, how could you swallow a demon core belonging to an Elite Demon in your current state? You're like a child that puts anything you find into your mouth. You're courting death." The Divine Paragon's voice resounded inside Yuan's head.

"Elite Demon? What's the difference?!" Yuan cried inwardly.

"Just like how dragons have their own ranks that are based on the purity of their dragon blood, demons have their own ranks based on their demonic blood. All of the demons that you have been fighting before this one were just ordinary demons with ordinary demonic blood. This one, however, is an Elite Demon with purer demonic blood, and the purer the demonic blood, the stronger their chaotic energy."

"W-What happens if I consume something like that?!"

"If you were strong enough, nothing would happen, but you're not, so the chaotic energy is trying to destroy your body right now."

"Listen, if you don't quickly control the chaotic energy, your body will explode into a bloody mess."

"And how the hell am I supposed to do that?!" Yuan shouted out loud, feeling as though something was growing within his body.

"Haaa…" The Divine Paragon sighed.

"I will help you control the chaotic energy this time, but if this happens again, you will have to deal with it yourself."

After a moment of silence, Yuan suddenly stopped moving and returned to sitting in the lotus position.

He took a deep breath and began controlling the chaotic energy inside his body.

Very quickly, Yuan could feel his body returning to normal, and his spiritual energy was under control again. However, he could still feel something chaotic inside his body.

By the time Qi Fang returned with the doctor, Yuan had already controlled most of the chaotic energy, but it took him all of his energy to do so, causing him to pass out shortly after.

The doctor checked Yuan's condition afterward.

"How is he?" Qi Fang asked in a worried voice.

Despite her cold attitude towards Yuan, she actually cared about his safety, as he was their only hope in defeating demons for good.

"He seems fine for now, and his body is stable, but I will need to inspect his body further for a more accurate assessment." The doctor said.

"I understand."

Qi Fang went to notify her family and the Manager of the situation once she knew that Yuan was fine for the moment.

When her family heard this, they immediately panicked for the same reason Qi Fang had. If Yuan dies, their world and everyone living in it will all die to the demons.

"What happened? Why did he suddenly collapse?" Qi Man asked her.

"I have no idea. I sent him to his room, and after leaving him alone for a moment, I suddenly heard him screaming. When I arrived, he was on the ground and his skin was burning red. However, by the time I returned with a doctor, he was already back to normal."

"Looks like we can only ask him after he wakes up." Qi Huan sighed.

Sometime later, the Manager called Meixiu to let her know of the situation.

"What?! Yuan collapsed and is unconscious right now?! What happened to him?!"

"I was hoping you could tell me. Does he have any medical conditions that cause him to do this?" The Manager asked.

"No, not that I am aware of."

"So he's never done this before?"

"No."

"Can I go see him? I want to see his condition with my own eyes."

"I will have to ask the Qi Family for permission first. Give me a minute." The Manager then asked the old couple since they were still together.

"Yuan's friend? Of course. Any friend of Yuan is also our friend." Qi Man quickly agreed.

"Alright, I will come pick you up. I should be there by midnight. Be ready by then." The Manager said to Meixiu before hanging up.

'What a pain in the ass…' The Manager sighed inwardly.

She didn't think she'd have to travel back and forth more than once, but alas.

While the Manager made her way back to the Dragon Spiral Mountain to pick up Meixiu, the Qi Family watched over Yuan, who would remain unconscious for the rest of the day.

After returning to the Dragon Spiral Mountain, the Manager reported the situation to the Lord before she went to pick up Meixiu.

"So that's what happened, huh… If you ask me, I think he tried to cultivate the demon core, since his symptoms sound exactly like what happens when someone tries to absorb a demon core like it's a monster core." The Lord said.

"If someone tries to cultivate a demon core, what will happen to them?" The Manager asked out of curiosity.

"Well, to put things simply— they will die a horrible death.. However, from what you told me, it appears that he's alive, so I doubt that's what happened."
