"Brother Jian, you are not kidding me."
Tu Nian gestured to him in disbelief, "That bird is just so small. Its feathers haven't even grown out yet. What use can it be?"
It’s not that she looks down on the Golden Crow. In the original novel, the Golden Crow is Su Youzhi’s mount. In the later period, it can swallow the sun and control fire. It is indeed a powerful spiritual beast.
However, at that time, the Golden Crow had already achieved Nirvana three times and was a legitimate sixth-order spirit beast with the strength equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But what about the Golden Crow now?
To say it was a high grade was an exaggeration; at best it was an ornamental pet.
Tu Nian's expression was exaggerated, and his thoughts were almost written on his face. Bo Qiu looked at him and if he was not afraid of provoking her again, he would definitely have responded with a "short-sighted" comment.
He sighed, his tone very forbearing, "It's the Golden Crow's instinct to seek out fire. Even if you plucked all its fur, it would still be able to find the source of fire."
"It's the same as if I didn't say anything..."
Although he didn't mention it, Tu Nian could hear that he deeply despised his own ignorance, so he simply stopped making a fool of himself. He muttered something under his breath and took the Golden Crow Beast out of the mustard seed as advised.
The Golden Crow Beast had eaten its fill and gone into the mustard seed market early this morning. It had nothing to do inside, so it just took a nap with the spiritual plants and fruits in its arms. When it was suddenly taken out, the whole bird was in a daze.
"Woo?" What happened?
Understanding its doubts, Tu Nian tickled its chin and said, "I've been raising you for quite some time now, and you've been providing me with spiritual fruits and plants every day. So now I have something I need your help with."
After spending some time together, Tu Nian has become accustomed to this strange cross-species communication. After all, as a sword, Bo Qiu is already a human being. Now it is just another human-like bird. She thinks it is completely excusable.
Besides, it's a fantasy theme, so even if this bird really speaks human language one day, she probably won't be too surprised.
"Woo!" No problem!
After hearing this, the Golden Crow Beast felt extremely happy.
Although this sound clearly expressed its meaning, it still tried very hard to show a look of determination with its eyes.
Tu Nian couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
Putting the Golden Crow on the ground, she took out two pills that could temporarily enhance its perception from the mustard seed and fed them to it. "Go, take me to the place where the fire element is strongest here."
Raise a bird for a thousand days, use it for a moment!
"Woo, woo!" After swallowing the two pills whole, the Golden Crow Beast called out happily twice, flapped its pair of small wings, lifted up its round body, and flew out into the sky.
Seeing it look so confident, Tu Nian felt happy. He immediately put Bo Qiu around his waist and quickly followed.
Tu Nian had read the original novel and knew that the structure of the Yuqing Dungeon was very complicated, but it was not until he actually went there himself that he realized how amazing it was.
This dungeon is like a maze, or an anthill under a pile of earth. The roads are intricately intertwined, and the surrounding environments are very similar. If you are not careful, you will end up going around in circles.
Search room by room?
Thinking back to his initial bold words, Tu Nian couldn't help but feel ashamed: Fortunately, she is a person who listens to advice.
The bird flies in front and the man chases behind.
The search was a long one. Tu Nian watched the Golden Crow skillfully navigate the various intersections, and suddenly realized something. "Both rely on spiritual energy for cultivation, so why can the Forbidden Spirit Stone restrict the abilities of cultivators but have no effect on spirit beasts?"
In her eyes, the so-called forbidden spirit stone, as the name suggests, is a stone that can ban spiritual power. It can't be said that it can ban people but not beasts. This is too smart.
But she soon understood that, in fact, her understanding was correct.
Bo Qiu said, "I told you, it's an instinct."
Tu Nian asked back, "Isn't it instinctive for a cultivator?"
"Your question..."
Seeing that she really didn't understand, Bo Qiu felt a little frustrated at her limited knowledge, and patiently taught her, "Spiritual beasts and cultivators are fundamentally different."
Tu Nian perked up and listened attentively.
"Spiritual beasts are beasts born from the elements, and cultivators are people with strong ability to sense the elements."
Bo Qiu is worthy of being Bo Qiu. After hearing these two simple sentences, Tu Nian felt as if his eyes were suddenly enlightened.
To put his words another way, the difference between the two is the difference between the element itself and the borrowed element.
As a beast of the scorching sun, the Golden Crow was born from the true fire of the sun between heaven and earth. It is fire itself, and all its abilities come from itself, so it will not be affected by external conditions.
And what about the monks?
All of its abilities rely on external forces, including but not limited to spiritual power, formations, and talismans. Therefore, if this external force no longer exists, it will naturally have nothing to rely on and its abilities cannot be exerted.
In comparison, spiritual beasts are absolutely blessed with the cultivators' affinity for elements.
Tu Nian understood the logic behind it and naturally came to this conclusion. However, after pondering it for a moment, he became puzzled again. "That doesn't make sense. If spirit beasts are so friendly to the elements, wouldn't it be easier for them to achieve enlightenment and ascend to the Tao than humans?"
At that time, Bo Qiu wanted to kill her with a sword.
Later, I simply didn't respond with complete sentences, and just gave them two words: talent and understanding.
Tu Nian was not stupid either, and he understood it immediately.
Spiritual beasts are indeed blessed with unique abilities, but compared to human comprehension, they are far inferior. Therefore, even though high-level spiritual beasts emerge in large numbers, it is difficult for one to ascend to heaven in tens of millions of years.
"I see!"
After this little refresher, Tu Nian's eyes sparkled with wisdom.
As for Bo Qiu, seeing her enlightened look, he felt that his future was unpredictable.
