The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

This was the first time Lu Yao had ever seen something of Earth grade, and he never expected it to have been in his possession all along.

However, this Ice Marrow Lotus is not yet mature, and its medicinal age is only over six hundred years. How can we find the difference of more than three hundred years? It seems that we can only rely on Brother Han.

However, it's not appropriate to directly ask Han Li about this, since the little green bottle is his biggest secret. He can only ask Han Li for some Creation Liquid later depending on the situation.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao examined the Yinghuo Stone from the mythical world again, and as expected, it was a huge low-grade spirit ore.

It can be used for refining weapons or setting up formations, and it's worth a hundred or two hundred spirit stones in the mortal world.

Now that he was already there, Lu Yao decided to have all the samples appraised at once.

They then examined the dragon turtle and the phoenix separately.

Mythical Beast: Dragon Turtle (Juvenile Stage)

Bloodline: Nascent Soul level

Realm: Qi Refining Level 2

Supernatural Power: Enlightenment

Introduction: A unique species possessing a trace of the divine beast Xuanwu's bloodline, capable of comprehending a divine ability with each breakthrough in a realm.

……

Mythical Beast: Fire Phoenix

Bloodline: Nascent Soul level

Realm: Qi Refining Level 6

Supernatural Power: Nirvana

Introduction: A unique species possessing a trace of the bloodline of the divine beast Phoenix. Each time it breaks through a realm, it can comprehend a inherited divine ability.

"They really aren't the four divine beasts."

Information about the two beasts flashed through Lu Yao's mind, and he understood.

The upper limit of the Fengyun world is the Saint Realm, which corresponds to the Qi Refining stage in the mortal world. It is impossible for the Four Divine Beasts to appear there.

However, these two spirit beasts naturally possess very high bloodlines. Without the constraints of the Wind and Cloud World, given enough time, it is not impossible for them to grow into Nascent Soul level demon beasts.

Now, both spirit beasts have been marked by the Origin Space and are under Lu Yao's control. This is more effective than any contract. Moreover, both spirit beasts are quite affectionate towards Lu Yao and will obey his commands.

However, these two spirit beasts were relatively weak and could not help Lu Yao much.

"I should ask Lü Tianmeng if he has any pills for raising spirit beasts when I get the chance."

Lu Yao remembered that there were some pills and techniques in the original work that could accelerate the growth of spirit beasts.

After noting this down, Lu Yao stayed with Lü Su and the other women for a few days before returning to the mortal world.

……

Not long after Lu Yao returned to his cave, a message arrived, indicating that Lü Tianfu had once again summoned the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the seven major sects.

"Everyone, several days have passed, and there is still no news of Fellow Daoist Zhang Qian. It seems that she is in grave danger."

Lu Tianmeng frowned slightly. He had initially thought that Zhang Qian was simply pursuing the enemy too deep and would take longer, but now it seemed that she had encountered some misfortune.

"Does the rogue cultivator that Fellow Daoist Zhang was chasing have that kind of ability?"

The level of Qingxu Sect is also somewhat questionable; logically, Zhang Qian shouldn't have been killed in the process.

"It's not impossible. These rogue cultivators even have Demonic Lightning Pearls. Perhaps Zhang Qian underestimated them and perished unexpectedly?"

Mo Han of the Giant Sword Sect said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say.

"In that case, let's send a message to the Blade Transformation Pavilion first, and see if Fellow Daoist Zhang Qian left any soul fire inside the sect. What if Fellow Daoist Zhang Qian was delayed by something?"

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly as he addressed the group.

"That's all it can do."

Lu Tianmeng nodded. At this point, he could only inform Huadaowu of the situation, since it was normal for there to be casualties in a battle.

"Now that the six-month period has come to an end, I imagine all of you fellow cultivators will be returning to your sects. However, the defense of this mine cannot be left unattended. I suggest we return in two batches, what do you think?"

Lu Tianmeng brought up the second matter: the seven major sects were afraid that accumulating too many spirit stones would cause unnecessary trouble, so they stipulated that spirit stones be transported once every six months.

In this way, the amount of spirit stones transported is not large, and the risk is also much smaller.

"That's the way to go. Let's set a time limit of one month and return in two trips."

Yu Kun of Huangfeng Valley nodded, agreeing to Lü Tianmeng's proposal.

The six of them then agreed that the first group to return would be Yu Kun from Huangfeng Valley, Mo Han from the Giant Sword Sect, and Lu Yao from the Hidden Moon Sect.

The three of them had a month to travel to and from the destination, and after a month, the other three returned.

After the matter was settled, everyone went their separate ways.

However, Lu Yao sent a telepathic message to Lü Tianmeng, and the two met up on the side.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, is there something you need from me?"

Lu Tianmeng looked at Lu Yao with great interest and asked a question.

He was extremely curious about Lu Yao. To be able to complete this task at the early stage of Foundation Establishment clearly indicated that he had an extraordinary background, and his mysterious demeanor made him somewhat unable to understand him.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, please forgive me. I currently have a spirit beast under my care and would like to ask you for advice on how to raise it."

Lu Yao chuckled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lü Tianmeng.

Lu Tianmeng is a disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain and has profound insights into cultivating spirit beasts. Asking him is definitely the right thing to do.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist, you've come to the right person. Then I'll give you a brief explanation."

Lu Tianmeng smiled. Lu Yao had finally asked about his most important skill. Since he wanted to befriend Lu Yao, it wouldn't hurt to talk about some unimportant inheritances.

……

After Lü Tianmeng left, Lu Yao returned to his cave dwelling, lost in thought.

According to Lü Tianfu, the cultivation of spirit beasts mainly involves two aspects: potential and combat power.

Potential goes without saying. Spirit beasts are mostly judged by their bloodline. Unless there is some treasure that helps a spirit beast break through the bloodline limit, the extent to which a spirit beast can grow is fixed.

Combat strength has many aspects, including the ability to fight and functionality. For example, Lu Tianmeng's innate spirit bird with spiritual eyes is quite useful in terms of detection and early warning, but it is only a Qi Refining stage spirit beast, which is the level of a first-level demon beast.

In terms of nurturing, the main method is to feed spirit beasts with elixirs such as Spirit Feeding Pills, which can increase the growth rate of spirit beasts.

Spirit-Feeding Pills can only be consumed by spirit beasts, so the target audience is relatively small. They are also quite troublesome to refine, so they are not commonly found on the market. They are usually refined by the Spirit Beast Mountain for use by their own sects.

Lu Yao naturally wouldn't buy the Spirit Feeding Pills; he planned to buy a recipe for Spirit Feeding Elixir and refine it himself.

Lu Yao did not reveal his identity as an alchemist, but instead subtly inquired about it from Lü Tianmeng.

However, Lü Tianmeng himself was not an alchemist, so he did not have any pill formulas.

Lu Yao plans to return to the Hidden Moon Sect this time. As the head of the seven major sects, the Hidden Moon Sect should have collected a lot of pill formulas. Moreover, there are many varieties of Spirit Feeding Pills. For the time being, he only needs the sixth one for the Qi Refining stage.

The next morning, Lu Yao and the other two took to the air and began their return to the sect.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I am looking forward to visiting friends in Yellow Maple Valley. Why don't we go together?"

Lu Yao chuckled and came to Fellow Daoist Yu's side. He planned to go to Huangfeng Valley to find Han Li. Those few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs should have been prepared, and he should go to pick them up.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Lu has a friend in Yellow Maple Valley. May I ask which Foundation Establishment fellow disciple it is?"

Yu Kun was taken aback. He hadn't expected Lu Yao to have friends in Huangfeng Valley, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
