Inside the cave were rows of incubators, each holding Spirit Beast eggs of varying sizes and colors.
Mo Xuanye slowly walked past these incubators, using the Classic of Mountains and Seas to detect Spirit Beast information.
"Iron-Armored Crocodile"
Analysis: The egg of a Rank 1 Yao Beast, the Iron-Armored Crocodile. The Iron-Armored Crocodile possesses tough scales and powerful offensive capabilities. It is slow on land, making it suitable for combat in swamps or water.
Not recommended for contract!
He had finally found a Spirit Beast that seemed quite powerful, yet the Classic of Mountains and Seas still advised against contracting it.
Soon, Mo Xuanye had walked through two-thirds of the area, but he hadn't seen a single Spirit Beast that the Classic of Mountains and Seas recommended for contract.
Mo Dizhao, who was standing nearby, became a bit impatient. "You shouldn't aim too high, kid. If these Spirit Beasts were taken outside, Loose Cultivators would definitely fight over them."
Mo Xuanye smiled, not answering.
Just then, the Classic of Mountains and Seas vibrated again.
Mo Xuanye's heart filled with joy, and he headed in the direction the Classic of Mountains and Seas indicated.
It was a Spirit Beast egg the size of a soybean, milky white all over. Below the incubator were the words "White Winged Spirit Bee Egg."
The White Winged Spirit Bee, even the Queen Bee, only possessed a Qi Refining Level 1 cultivation. The worker bees didn't even reach Qi Refining Level 1; they were merely stronger than ordinary wild beasts.
Their main purpose was to pollinate Spirit Medicine, and the honey they produced contained thin Spiritual Qi, barely qualifying as Rank 1 Low Grade spirit honey.
However, the Classic of Mountains and Seas displayed different information.
"White Jade Spirit Bee King Egg"
Analysis: This insect is a mutation of the White Winged Spirit Bee. Its entire body is as translucent as white jade. Although its Physical Body is fragile, it possesses extremely fast flying speed. It can devour all poisons in the world, contains potent venom within its body, and is skilled at concealing its presence, making it difficult to detect.
The White Jade Spirit Bee can produce three types of rare spirit honey:
The first is spirit honey, made by worker bees collecting the essence of various flowers. Cultivators who consume it can increase their cultivation and it is excellent for Cultivation.
The second is Royal Jelly, personally brewed by the Queen Bee. It contains immense Spiritual Qi and can help Cultivators Break through their Bottleneck and cross Realm barriers.
The third is blood emperor nectar, brewed from devouring the flesh and blood of other living beings. Spirit Beasts who consume it can increase their Bloodline concentration and Rank, while Cultivators who consume it can strengthen their Physical Body. If a Cultivator possesses a special Bloodline or Physique, it further aids in Bloodline Awakening or Physique transformation, making it a rare treasure.
Recommended for contract!
When Mo Xuanye saw the information about the White Jade Spirit Bee King Egg analyzed by the Classic of Mountains and Seas, putting everything else aside, just the three types of spirit honey produced by the White Jade Spirit Bee meant Mo Xuanye couldn't possibly give it up, even if the Mountain and Sea World didn't recommend contracting it.
"Elder Three, I'll take this White Winged Spirit Bee egg," Xuan Ye said to Elder Three.
When Xuan Ye paused in front of the White Winged Spirit Bee egg, Mo Dizhao had already guessed that Xuan Ye was interested in it. However, in his opinion, this White Winged Spirit Bee egg was completely useless.
"Mo Xuanye, the greatest use of the White Winged Spirit Bee is pollination. You're not going to become a Spirit Plant Master, so what use is this White Winged Spirit Bee to you? I think you should choose the Lava Turtle instead," Mo Dizhao suggested.
"No need. The White Winged Spirit Bee egg will do." With that, Mo Xuanye took the White Winged Spirit Bee egg out of the incubator.
Seeing Mo Xuanye's resolute attitude, Elder Three no longer objected. "Fine, you've had your own ideas since you were a child. Once you've decided on something, ten oxen couldn't pull you back. Have it your way."
As he spoke, Elder Three handed over a Jade Slip and a jade bottle. "This is our Mo family's Beast Control Art. You can use it to contract the White Winged Spirit Bee. Once it hatches, feed it the White Winged Spirit Bee's honey to help it get through its weak period."
"Hehe, thank you, Elder Three," Mo Xuanye said with a smile, taking them. Then, shamelessly, he asked, "Elder Three, do you have any Five-Colored Flower seeds? Could you give me a packet?"
"What? You're planning to grow Five-Colored Flowers yourself for the White Winged Spirit Bee to collect honey?"
"How could I? I'm not a Spirit Plant Master. I plan to give them to my mother for her to plant."
"That's good. Alchemy is the proper path. Don't waste time on growing Spirit Medicine."
After receiving a packet of Five-Colored Flower seeds from Elder Three, Mo Xuanye hurried home.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to contract a Spirit Beast. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."
"Your mother specially made something delicious for you. Come out as soon as you're done."
With a thought, Mo Xuanye entered the Mountain and Sea World.
At this moment, there was only one Five-Colored Brocade Chicken in the Mountain and Sea World.
The White Jade Spirit Bee still needed some time to hatch. Mo Xuanye planned to first contract the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken, officially open the Mountain and Sea World, and then hatch the White Jade Spirit Bee.
When the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken saw Mo Xuanye appear, it immediately let out a rapid "cluck, cluck, cluck." Since being thrown into the Mountain and Sea World by Mo Xuanye that morning, it had been confined in place, unable to move.
The Mountain and Sea World was Mo Xuanye's territory. Let alone a Five-Colored Brocade Chicken that was only Qi Refining Level 1, even a Qi Cultivation Level 10 Cultivator would not be able to turn things around here.
"I want to take you as my Spirit Beast. Do not resist," Mo Xuanye said to the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken.
He knew this chicken could understand him; otherwise, it wouldn't have shown such human-like eyes that morning.
Mo Xuanye's Dantian now contained thin Spiritual Qi, making him unable to fully condense the Mountain and Sea Beast Control Art purely with Spiritual Qi. Therefore, he directly cut his finger, using blood as ink, and with the thin Spiritual Qi as a catalyst, he began to draw talismans in the Void Realm.
A blood-colored rune appeared in the Void Realm. Mo Xuanye pointed at the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken and lightly commanded, "Go."
The blood-colored rune landed on the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken's glabella.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck~"
The Five-Colored Brocade Chicken, which had been quiet, suddenly let out a sharp cry. Its body struggled violently, frantically flapping its wings, trying to break free from the Mountain and Sea Beast Control Art.
Looking at the blood-colored rune, which was becoming fainter, Mo Xuanye threatened, "If you refuse to become my Spirit Beast, I'll give you to my mother later, pluck your feathers, and make soup."
Upon hearing this, the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken trembled all over and immediately stopped resisting.
The rune entered the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken's body, and Mo Xuanye quickly sensed a special connection being established with the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken.
At the same time, the Classic of Mountains and Seas in Mo Xuanye's Sea of Consciousness erupted with a Chaos-colored light, forming the shape of a Five-Colored Brocade Chicken, which then merged into the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The originally hazy Mountain and Sea World surged with a rich Spiritual Qi.
The hazy mist receded outwards, and an acre of Spirit Field appeared in the center of the Mountain and Sea World.
"2x Time Acceleration, Spiritual Qi concentration comparable to a Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein." This information entered Mo Xuanye's mind.
Although Xuanling Mountain was a Rank 2 Low Grade Spiritual Vein, its Spiritual Qi was dispersed and needed to supply the many Cultivators and Spirit Beasts on the mountain. In reality, the Spiritual Qi concentration Mo Xuanye could receive would not reach the level of a Rank 2 Low Grade Spiritual Vein; it was even inferior to a Rank 1 High Grade.
With the Rank 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein in the Mountain and Sea World assisting his Cultivation, his Cultivation speed would definitely be much faster.
It was just a pity that, apart from himself, the Mountain and Sea World did not allow any humans to enter it, otherwise he could have helped his parents.
Mo Xuanye lifted the confinement on the Five-Colored Brocade Chicken. "Don't waste the rich Spiritual Qi here. You don't want to always be a chicken at the mercy of others, do you? You have the Bloodline of the Five-Colored Peacock within you. If you want to soar, then Cultivate well."
"Cluck, cluck, cluck."
The Five-Colored Brocade Chicken clucked at Mo Xuanye, then flew to the side and silently absorbed the Spiritual Qi.
Mo Xuanye immediately felt a surge of Spiritual Qi appear out of nowhere within his body. After circulating through a major heavenly cycle within his body, it automatically flowed into his Dantian.
This Spiritual Qi was extremely pure, even purer than what Mo Xuanye cultivated himself.
