Chapter 649: Chapter 40 Yi An_1

Shou Peak.

The interior of Qi Yan’s dwelling.

“After I received from Uncle-Master the research findings of numerous Shou Peak predecessors on the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard, I spent a long time contemplating how to make the Stone Lizard breakthrough… I came to the conclusion that the key to unraveling the mystery of its bloodline may just be the Lifespan Breakthrough method.”

“So, during the final question simulation in Baiwen Tower, I decided to prepare plenty of life-extending spirit items for it and accelerate time, continuously, from a large number of Ghost-pattern Stone Lizards, reproduce and select those with the highest lifespan, to see if I could find one capable of breaking through its lifespan limit… Unfortunately, I was still unsuccessful.”

Standing in front of Qi Yan, Wang Ba spoke without blinking.

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, albeit somewhat disappointed, Qi Yan nodded his approval:

“Your line of thinking isn’t outlandish, however seeking a breakthrough in lifespan through generations of selection also presents a worthwhile approach… Considering you thought of this, it’s no wonder you scored 10 points.”

Qi Yan had full understanding of his question.

In reality, there wasn’t an exact answer to his question. He had instead handed it to the core of Baiwen Tower — the Sea Pearl, allowing it to judge independently.

The Sea Pearl is an exceedingly rare sea treasure. A low-grade one can simulate reality, allowing cultivators to accomplish feats they are unable to in the real world, such as accelerating time, instantaneously recreating lifelike creatures, and more.

Higher-class Sea Pearls, after being imbued with a plethora of related knowledge and information, can even assist cultivators in simulating Cultivation Methods and Spells, even changes of heaven and earth…

Of course, such Sea Pearls are extremely scarce even in the entire Wanxiang Sect, and only a few exist.

He only knew of one in Chunyang Palace, and another in Taihe Palace.

The core Sea Pearl of Baiwen Tower, with a classification of only Class III, naturally could not achieve such effects.

However, it still possessed some basic abilities, such as making some predictions when a cultivator tries to cultivate Spirit Beasts within it.

Although these predictions cannot definitively be correct, what can be confirmed is that, at least based on the knowledge it has been imbued with, they indeed have a certain feasibility.

But the specific plan still needs to be figured out by the cultivators themselves.

Off to the side, Mo Qi stood standing with a dejected and downcast look.

Listening to the conversation between his master and Senior Brother Wang, he felt like an outsider…completely bewildered.

Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard… isn’t that just a Class II upper grade Spirit Beast?

What’s so special about it?

Why must it be cultivated and improved?

He couldn’t help but look up, watching Wang Ba calmly answering the master’s questions, with the master devoting himself to guiding Wang Ba in his inquiries. Feelings of envy swelled within his heart.

“… What brings you here this time?”

With the Dao-asking Conference out of the way, Qi Yan asked.

Without hesitation, Wang Ba promptly explained his purpose: “I have successfully cultivated a Class III upper grade Spirit Beast. Since I will soon leave the sect, I specifically came to see Uncle-Master.”

“Oh.”

Qi Yan nodded slowly, a look of understanding in his eyes.

He had had Wang Ba participate in the debate on Beast Control to provide him with an opportunity to gain Spirit Beast’s blood and essence, aiding in the advancement of his Spirit Beast.

Now it seemed that Wang Ba had indeed understood his intentions and had accomplished his goal before leaving the sect.

Off to the side, Mo Qi abruptly looked up, gazing unbelievingly at Wang Ba.

“Impossible! I was born to discern Spirit Beast’s bloodline, the Black Temple Snake is still a bit away… how could he possibly… could it be…”

At that moment, Wang Ba had already summoned the Wu Monkey King.

The small ape, which had its body completely transformed into gold after advancement, had finally stopped shrinking in size after advancing, instead growing slightly larger.

Yet, it was still no taller than half of one’s forearm.

It looked quite petite and adorable.

However, when Qi Yan saw the Wu Monkey King, particularly the two bulges on his back, he was momentarily taken aback:

“Monkey God Nine Changes?”

Surprise flickered in Wang Ba’s eyes. “Uncle-Master, you know it?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan gave a rare chuckle, his eyes shining with pride:

“I have read over thirty percent of the scrolls related to Beast Control in the sect. Naturally, I am aware of this Spirit Beast cultivation method that allows direct ascension to Immortality.”

Yet, he immediately asked in surprise: “How did you teach it? Although Class III Spirit Beasts open Spiritual Wisdom, the chance for one to comprehend such a Cultivation Method is one in a million.”

Wang Ba glanced at the Wu Monkey King, which, enveloped by Qi Yan’s aura, was completely docile. He hesitated: “Perhaps, it is that ‘one’?”

Qi Yan was momentarily choked up.

But after carefully thinking for a moment, this monkey had awakened a minor divine power when it was not yet Class III. With such talent, while his chances of learning the “Monkey God Nine Changes” were extremely slim, it wasn’t impossible.

Off to the side, Mo Qi kept his eyes firmly on the Wu Monkey King.

Being inherently capable of sensing a Spirit Beast’s bloodline, he clearly perceived the rich high-class bloodline aura in the monkey before him… It felt as though he could hear echoes of countless ancient giant apes and demon monkeys roaring in his ears.

He gradually turned pale.

However, neither Qi Yan nor Wang Ba noticed his change.

Qi Yan contemplated momentarily, then said to Wang Ba: “Let your monkey come over. Although the Monkey God Nine Changes Cultivation Method is excellent, it is ultimately from an ancient era, so it’s somewhat incompatible with the present world. Even though your monkey was fortunate enough to learn it, it would be best to make some minor adjustments to it.”
