Just as Liang Shucheng was about to explain things to Jun Feijue, she interrupted him, saying, "It has wings, can fly, and is already at the peak of level five."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Dean Xia and Liang Shucheng both gasped in surprise, exclaiming, "A peak level five spirit beast?"
It's important to understand that spirit beasts are different from magical beasts. Although they have superior bloodlines and are born a level above ordinary magical beasts, the way of heaven is fair. There are gains and losses. Their advancement requires constantly breaking through the shackles of their bloodlines.
All of this requires a huge amount of resources. Therefore, although spirit beasts do cultivate faster than ordinary magical beasts, it is extremely difficult to raise them to adulthood.
Often, people can afford to contract a spirit beast, but they can't afford to raise it.
Because both spirit beasts and human cultivation require resources, and it's impossible for an individual to manage both simultaneously, except for large families.
Even for Dean Xia, a highly respected figure, after hundreds of years of training, he had only managed to advance his contracted spirit beast to the mid-level of the fifth rank.
But now, this little one in front of him is actually telling him that her spirit beast is already at the peak of level five…
Damn it, no wonder the other party asked him if he would steal the spirit beast.
If he could contract two spirit beasts at the same time, he would definitely grab them immediately!
What incredible luck! A level 5 peak spirit beast, almost about to transform into human form—this is something that seems unheard of on the continent today!
Magical beasts take human form at level nine, while spirit beasts can take human form at level six. However, it is dozens or even hundreds of times more difficult for a spirit beast to grow to the level of human form than for an ordinary magical beast!
"For it to advance to level six, it needs the essence of Qiongqi to further activate its bloodline."
Jun Feijue knew nothing about any of this; all she knew was that Xiaobo had hit a bottleneck and needed to break through it.
"The Bo Beast possesses the bloodline of the Qiongqi, which makes sense."
Recovering from their shock, Dean Xia and Liang Shucheng exchanged a glance, then took a deep breath and said in unison, "Little girl, it's not that I don't want to give you this Qiongqi essence blood, it's just that you're too late."
That's it?
Upon hearing this, Jun Feijue frowned.
In that case, wouldn't Xiao Bo have no chance of promotion?
"No, the essence blood is still in the academy, but we can't take it out."
Dean Xia shook his head and explained, "Three years ago, my teacher, the Xing Elder you met that day, put it in the top floor of the Refinement Tower as a reward for clearing the level."
"The Tower of Refinement?"
"Yes, the Refinement Tower is a pseudo-sacred artifact, which is infinitely close to a sacred artifact. It is used to allow students to hone their strength by passing through the levels."
Dean Xia nodded and said, "The tower is under a restriction, and only cultivators under the age of one hundred can enter. Therefore, in this age group, apart from students with strong abilities, outsiders cannot enter."
Jun Feijue knew about the sacred artifacts. Above treasure artifacts was the sacred artifact. In the empire, most of the commonly used artifacts were high-grade spiritual artifacts and low-grade treasure artifacts. High-grade treasure artifacts were extremely rare, while sacred artifacts existed only in legends.
Therefore, the power of a pseudo-sacred artifact, which is infinitely close to a sacred artifact, is self-evident.
"Let Elder Xing retrieve it himself," Jun Feijue said calmly.
"There's nothing we can do; the teacher has gone into seclusion again," Dean Xia said helplessly.
"Let him out of seclusion," Jun Feijue said without hesitation.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Dean Xia was speechless for a moment, somewhat amused and exasperated. "Do you know why a powerhouse like you, whose cultivation has almost reached its peak, would still need to go into seclusion?"
