Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 70: Oh No! He Really Is the Sect Saint Son!
After a long time, Taibai Phecda finally spoke through gritted teeth:
"Su Yuan, can you explain properly how you managed to deceive the Chi Yuan Sword into your hands?"
"As a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, I can’t see any traits in you that would attract a Spirit Sword."
Hearing this question, Su Yuan felt a bit of a headache too.
He certainly couldn’t say that after using the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon, all magical treasures automatically increased their favorability towards him by 100 points and could communicate with him spiritually.
But speaking of which, the Spirit Sword treasured by Master Taibai was indeed great.
Take his own mobile phone as an example; even after using the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon on it, he could only vaguely sense its emotions.
But the Chi Yuan Sword was different; after deploying the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon on it, Su Yuan could actually obtain some clear words and meanings from the Chi Yuan Sword through their spiritual connection.
For instance, the Chi Yuan Sword’s name, her distress of being locked up in the Sword Storage Pavilion, her hobbies, and so on, were personally told to Su Yuan by the Chi Yuan Sword.
However, Su Yuan wasn’t the type to fall for something new just because it’s there.
Although he could use the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon to raise the favorability of any magical treasure, the Chi Yuan Sword indeed held a bit more significance for him.
Because the Chi Yuan Sword’s appearance and aura suited his taste the most, and her initial favorability towards him was the highest among the top ten spirit swords, reaching as high as 90 points!
And after a bit of sweet-talking from Su Yuan, the Chi Yuan Sword’s initial favorability directly exceeded 200.
What does this indicate?
It indicates that the Chi Yuan Sword and he are truly compatible!
Unfortunately, the Chi Yuan Sword still belonged to someone else, and whether he could take her away depended on the opinion of this wicked stepmother, Taibai Phecda.
Therefore, in the face of Taibai Phecda’s question, he had to give a good answer.
He definitely couldn’t mention the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon; this thing was far more valuable than the Ancient Corpse Refining and the Blood Beast Cultivation Method.
After a bit of thought, Su Yuan answered with a serious face:
"Master Taibai, to be honest, I’ve had an incredibly high affinity for various magical treasures since I was young."
"As long as I seriously engage with a particular magical treasure, I can connect with it spiritually and sense its emotions, thereby increasing the compatibility between us."
Upon hearing this, Taibai Phecda couldn’t help but smirk inwardly.
This kid refused to tell the truth and instead made up such an outrageous lie to deceive him!
High affinity for all magical treasures?
Do you think I believe that?
To achieve such a thing, one must at least have the Innate Treasure-Controlling Sacred Body, the kind that could rise to become the Sect Saint Son of a major sect.
Could a poor kid like you have such talent?
But ultimately, Taibai Phecda didn’t expose Su Yuan’s lies; he planned to watch Su Yuan make a fool of himself.
"Alright then, show it to me. If you truly have this ability, giving the Chi Yuan to you isn’t out of the question..."
However, before Taibai Phecda could finish his sentence, Su Yuan had already pulled out his own mobile phone from his pocket.
"Your phone, you mean you can spiritually connect with your phone?"
Taibai Phecda was almost amused with anger.
Yet the next second, as the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon was activated, the ordinary looking phone in Su Yuan’s hand emitted a faint glow.
In Taibai Phecda’s astonished gaze, the screen rapidly switched to a shopping app, where it instantly purchased a phone case for 0.1 yuan.
And the style of the phone case just perfectly matched the phone itself.
Taibai Phecda was utterly shocked!
All his life, he had never seen a phone with spiritual communication!
Who the heck would turn a fast-consumed item like a phone into a Spiritual Treasure!
Even if someone was really stubborn enough to work with a phone for more than ten years and actually managed to cultivate its spirituality, the phone’s performance would be outdated by then, wouldn’t it?
Yet, Su Yuan’s phone seemed to be a model from three years ago; being able to cultivate the spirituality of a normal phone within three years was evidence enough of Su Yuan’s significant affinity for magical treasures.
Seeing Taibai Phecda remain silent for a long while, Su Yuan cautiously said:
"To be honest, Master Taibai, the last time I was able to snatch a red envelope was all thanks to my beloved phone."
"May I ask if this example proves my special affinity for magical treasures?"
Taibai Phecda took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Your phone being able to purchase items on its own doesn’t necessarily mean it has spiritual communication; maybe you installed some virus software in it."
Truth be told, Taibai Phecda actually believed about seventy percent of it, but in order to defend his precious daughter, he was prepared to go head-to-head with this young punk, Su Yuan.
Su Yuan sighed and said:
"In that case, I have no choice but to use my Yasashi Power on other treasure swords."
Saying this, Su Yuan headed directly to the center of the Sword Storage Pavilion toward the other nine Spirit Swords.
For no reason, Taibai Phecda felt a sudden pang of anxiety.
It was like the feeling of being defeated by someone else’s brilliance again!
But ultimately, he resisted the urge to go forward and stop Su Yuan.
It was as if he were a gambler who had lost everything—knowing full well that he might end up thoroughly defeated, yet unwilling to admit defeat.
Then he witnessed Su Yuan grabbing another Spirit Sword and, after muttering a few words, learned its name.
As a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, Taibai Phecda could clearly feel that another of his treasure daughters also held considerable favor toward Su Yuan.
If they continued talking, it seemed she might even run off with Su Yuan!
"Stop! That’s enough! I believe you!"
Ultimately, Taibai Phecda conceded.
He had no choice but to yield! If he kept this up, it seemed all three hundred of his hidden swords would be taken away by Su Yuan!
Hearing this, Su Yuan comforted the Spirit Sword in his hand for a while before placing it back on the sword rack, then approached Taibai Phecda excitedly with the Chi Yuan Sword in his arms.
"Master Taibai, so you’re agreeing to me and Chi Yuan’s relationship?"
"And what if I disagree? Would I have to lock Chi Yuan away in a standoff, eventually making enemies with her?"
Taibai Phecda rolled his eyes at Su Yuan with no good humor.
He glanced longingly at the Chi Yuan Sword, which was attached closely to Su Yuan, and after a long sigh, said:
"Su Yuan, the Chi Yuan Sword was crafted as a prototype by an illicit Demon Sect. Before the Chi Yuan Sword could be mass-produced, the Demon Sect was eradicated by conservation organizations, making the Chi Yuan Sword one-of-a-kind."
"Today I give her to you not only because of your favor to our Taibai Family but also because Chi Yuan genuinely likes you."
"I hope you treat her well in the future, and should I find out that she has been wronged, I will not spare you."
Su Yuan immediately straightened up and said:
"Rest assured, Master... Teacher Taibai, I will treat the Chi Yuan Sword as my girlfriend."
"In the future, whenever I cook, I’ll make sure to employ the Chi Yuan Sword to finish off the ingredients."
With these words, the Chi Yuan Sword, which was joyfully glowing in Su Yuan’s hands, suddenly dimmed.
What ingredients?
What cooking?
Are you kidding me, I, a majestic Demon Sword, have become a mere pig slaughter knife?
Darn it, after being deceived by this young punk, I realize now that he’s just a mere cook with no listed Demon Sect in his family!
Is it still possible to back out now?
