"The evolution happened because of a treasure bone.." Bai Zhen said after a short silence.
"A treasure bone?!" asked Yang Qing with widened eyes of disbelief.
"Yes, a treasure bone.." said Bai Zhen with a sigh.
"How did you even end up with something like that?" asked Yang Qing still in surprise from the revelation.
Forming a wisdom pearl was a diving threshold for spirit beasts. Only those with a certain level of talent were able to form one.
The wisdom pearl contained their insights and achievements in a particular dao and was extremely valuable to both spirit beasts and humans too.
However, as precious as it was, one million wisdom pearls filled with in-depth insights into the Dao wasn't as valuable as a single speck from a treasure bone.
The treasure bone, also known as the mark of the saint, was something formed when a spirit beast reached the soul formation realm.
To a spirit beast no matter the heights of cultivation they reach, their bodies still remain their greatest capital and that fact remains true when they reach the soul formation realm.
Of course, there are exceptions such as those whose abilities are soul-based but even for them, their bodies do still play a part in their growth.
For spirit beasts who use their fleshly body to traverse the confines of the domain realm, they get another name when they successfully breakthrough which is the equivalent of the soul formation realm, that realm is called the sacred sovereign realm.
At this stage, whether the spirit beast has a noble bloodline or not, bloodline suppression no longer affects them. They have stepped beyond its bounds and established a bloodline unique only to themselves.novelb1n
The tribulation lightning they face when breaking through obliterates and reforms them anew, and in the end, should they survive it, their entire body is transformed and filled with the same power that forms the world around them. However, it takes different variations depending on the mastery of the spirit beast.
"He did.."
As if anticipating that Yang Qing would ask how his master got a hold of it in the first place, Bai Zhen added,
"His master got it from someone else, though she never told the fire adler bear much, other than it was an unfathomable figure and he was the one that gave her a chance at rebirth.
When she left, she had left precisely to search for that unfathomable figure.."
The gears in Yang Qing's mind instantly started turning as to who that unfathomable figure could be before it slowly fell on the middle-aged man they shared drinks and meals with.
While talking, the middle-aged man said he had forgotten something in the Deer Mountain Range and had come to check on it to which Yang Qing had strong suspicions that the forgotten thing the middle-aged man was talking about was the sword embryo being refined by the flames produced by the egg of a Bifang Niao.
Other than coming to check on the forgotten object, the middle-aged said he was also checking on a friend but he missed them.
Though it was far-fetched, Yang Qing had a feeling that maybe the fire adler bear's master and the middle-aged man were connected. Otherwise, how could his master have gotten her hands on the treasure bone of a sacred sovereign realm spirit beast?
In his mind, someone who could fashion a wine gourd with wood from the empyrean world jade tree, a king among jade trees, was exactly the same type of person who would casually give out a treasure bone from a spirit beast that had reached the human equivalent of the soul formation realm, and a flood dragon nonetheless.
What were the odds that the Deer Mountain Range was occasionally frequented by multiple unfathomable figures? It was their luck that even one, in the name of the middle-aged man, came by at all.
The Deer Mountain Range may be rich in resources, to the point it may rival some rank 2 kingdoms, but that was insufficient to draw in the eyes of people at the level of the middle-aged man.
Therefore Yang Qing felt it was highly likely that the middle-aged man was acquainted with the fire adler bear's master and that may have even been the reason he had decided to stop by Meifeng's cavern.
It had nothing to do with his beggar's rice wine or the fried scallops which were Shi Hai's best work, or the radiant look of the parasitic purple flower spore sycamore tree. It had more to do with Meifeng's relationship with the fire adler bear's master.
Someone as skilled as the middle-aged man could likely trace her aura to Meifeng considering she spent some time with the sycamore tree and was like a mother to her, and without a treasure that shielded her karma from being spied on, Miefeng's past could have been easily deduced by the middle-aged man, which was why he came there in the first place or rewarded her with the purest yin energy he had ever seen.
