For many years.
The problem of his Spiritual Root had always plagued Li Chang’an.
His Low Grade Spirit Root aptitude made his path of Cultivation Immortality exceptionally slow.
’I’ve been cultivating for over ten years and have never heard of a way to improve one’s Spiritual Root.’
Li Chang’an mused.
If such a thod truly existed, it would have caused a huge sensation in the Cultivation Immortality Realm long ago.
’The sa goes for a Spirit Beast’s bloodline, but how did this Profound Water Turtle’s bloodline get upgraded?’
Li Chang’an’s gaze was focused as he picked up the little guy and examined it for a long ti.
Judging by its appearance alone,
it looked no different from an ordinary Profound Water Turtle.
In fact, after hatching, its aura had beco completely unremarkable.
’The stall owner said he only found this clutch of Profound Water Turtle Eggs by that large lake, and nothing else.’
Li Chang’an thought it over and over.
He even had the fleeting thought of going to that Secret Realm to take a look.
But he quickly dismissed the notion.
Secret Realms were too dangerous.
He couldn’t rush in recklessly for sothing so uncertain.
’According to legends, many of these Secret Realms were Pocket World Blessed Lands from the Ancient Tis. A great war later caused them to be abandoned.’
Li Chang’an recalled the various rumors about these Secret Realms.
’Could it be...’
’that in the Ancient Tis, there was a way to improve Spiritual Roots and bloodlines?’
Unfortunately, there were almost no records of that era.
’I should pay more attention to news about Secret Realms from now on.’
Just as Li Chang’an was pondering,
suddenly,
he felt
an extrely faint strand of Water Elent Magical Power trying to rge into the ridians throughout his body.
’Huh, what’s going on?’
Li Chang’an froze for a mont.
This Water Elent Magical Power was very compatible with him.
It was clearly being released by the little turtle.
After entering his ridians, it actually rged with his own Magical Power, causing a temporary, minuscule increase in his power.
’Water generates Wood?’
In that instant, Li Chang’an thought of the Five Elents Mutual Generation described in the Little Five Elents Escape Technique.
He looked at the Little Profound Water Turtle.
An incredible thought ford in his mind.
"Is this your Talent Technique?"
Li Chang’an asked.
But the Little Profound Water Turtle had just hatched, after all, making communication rather difficult.
Afterward,
the man and the turtle communicated with each other, gesturing for a long ti.
Li Chang’an finally confird his suspicion.
What had just happened
was indeed the Little Profound Water Turtle’s Talent Technique—the Borrowing Technique!
It could lend a portion of its Magical Power to a companion, causing a temporary increase in the companion’s power.
Furthermore,
Li Chang’an had a Wood Spirit Root, while the Little Profound Water Turtle was a Water Elent Spirit Beast.
Due to the Five Elents Mutual Generation Law of Water generating Wood, the effect of this Borrowing Technique was exceptionally good on Li Chang’an.
’Such a heaven-defying talent actually exists?’
Li Chang’an was shocked to his core and found it hard to believe.
He had never heard of such a thing before.
Even Beast Masters could only command Spirit Beasts; they couldn’t obtain Magical Power from them.
’An ordinary Profound Water Turtle’s talents are just a few kinds of Magic, like the Rain Summoning Technique, Water Ball Technique, and Water Escape Technique.’
Li Chang’an took a deep breath, trying his best to calm the shock in his heart.
This Little Profound Water Turtle’s Borrowing Technique...
If outsiders learned of it,
it would surely cause a sensation!
It might even attract the attention of a Foundation Establishnt Ancestor or even a Golden Core Sect, ultimately bringing a fatal disaster upon Li Chang’an!
"From now on, you can only use this Magic on . Do you understand?"
Li Chang’an said with a grave expression, his tone earnest and serious.
The Little Profound Water Turtle nodded, indicating that it understood.
After that,
the man and the turtle tested it many more tis, confirming that the Borrowing Technique was extrely effective on Li Chang’an.
’It’s still small now. As it grows and becos stronger, it will be able to lend more and more Magical Power.’
Li Chang’an calculated in his mind.
His biggest problem right now was his insufficient Magical Power.
Because of this,
even though he had Tier One Top Grade inheritances for the two Skills of Puppets and Talismans, he was temporarily stuck at the Tier One Middle Grade level.
Once this Profound Water Turtle grew to the Tier One Middle Stage,
and lent its Magical Power to Li Chang’an,
their combined Magical Power might temporarily allow Li Chang’an to approach the Late Stage of Qi Refining!
’Looks like I need to find so Treasures to speed up its growth.’
This Profound Water Turtle had an Earth Grade Bloodline, after all.
Its aptitude completely crushed Li Chang’an’s Low Grade Spirit Root.
As long as it didn’t lack resources, its growth speed would certainly far exceed Li Chang’an’s.
...
「That afternoon.」
Li Chang’an went to the Marketplace’s trading area again.
He was looking for Treasures suitable for the growth of a Turtle Species Spirit Beast.
But he wandered around the trading area for nearly an hour and didn’t find much.
"How much for this Cyan Jade Flower?"
Li Chang’an walked up to a Beast Master’s stall and asked.
"Daoist, are you looking to raise a Water Elent Spirit Beast?"
The stall owner saw his intention.
He said to Li Chang’an, "Although the Cyan Jade Flower is a Water Elent Spirit dicine, it isn’t suitable for all Water Elent Spirit Beasts. May I ask what type you are planning to raise, Daoist?"
"A Turtle Species Spirit Beast."
Li Chang’an didn’t hide it.
After all, he had altered his aura and was using a false identity.
The stall owner thought for a mont, then said,
"For a Water Elent Turtle Species Spirit Beast, it’s best to start with gentle Water Elent herbs like Green Wave Grass and Celestial Blue Star, supplented with the at of various Low Tier Spirit Fish."
With that said,
he lightly patted his Storage Pouch.
Various gentle Water Elent Spirit dicines and a large quantity of Low Tier Spirit Fish appeared before Li Chang’an.
Then, he handed a small booklet to Li Chang’an.
"This is my experience in raising Water Elent Turtle Species Spirit Beasts. It’s not worth much, so please, take it as a gift, Daoist."
"Many thanks, Daoist!"
Li Chang’an cupped his hands in thanks and accepted the booklet.
This stall owner was very proactive.
He kept talking about his own experience raising turtles.
Li Chang’an didn’t disappoint him, buying quite a few of the items he recomnded.
After the transaction was complete,
the stall owner added, "Actually, there’s a Tier One Top Grade spiritual dicine called the Turtle Spirit Fruit that is most suitable for newly hatched Water Elent Turtle Species Spirit Beasts."
"Oh? Do you have any for sale here, Daoist?"
"No."
The stall owner sighed.
His tone was tinged with a hint of regret.
"The Turtle Spirit Fruit is extrely rare. I was fortunate enough to see one not long ago, but I simply didn’t have the ability to get my hands on it."
"Why is that?"
Li Chang’an’s interest was piqued, and he asked for details.
The stall owner then explained.
A few days ago,
he went fishing at Bright Moon Lake and unexpectedly discovered a nearly ripe Turtle Spirit Fruit. He had planned to pick it.
"But next to that Turtle Spirit Fruit, there was a Tier One Early Stage Cyan Scale Fish guarding it."
The stall owner recalled the mont, feeling even more regretful.
"That Cyan Scale Fish discovered and imdiately used its Magic, escaping into the distance with the Turtle Spirit Fruit. I couldn’t catch up at all."
The Cyan Scale Fish is a type of Water Elent Spirit Beast with an excellent Escape Technique.
It was normal not to be able to catch it.
"Counting the days, that Turtle Spirit Fruit should be ripe by now. It will most likely end up in that Cyan Scale Fish’s mouth."
"I see. Thank you for telling , Daoist."
Li Chang’an’s expression remained unchanged, but his mind began to race.
The Water Escape speed of a Tier One Early Stage Cyan Scale Fish was only slightly faster than a Human Race Cultivator who had mastered the Water Escape Technique to the Great Success stage.
It was no match for the current Li Chang’an.
’Perhaps I can get my hands on it.’
Li Chang’an mused.
But he didn’t act imdiately.
Instead, he decided to go back first, wait quietly until nightfall, and see what the Divination would reveal.
