After a while, He Yiming thought for a bit before asking, “Mr. Xie, can your n.o.ble family refine golden cores of spiritual beasts above five hundred years?”
Xie Grace bitterly smiled, “Brother He sure can joke. If we truly had this ability, why wouldn’t there be a single Xiantian cultivator in the clan? Why would be unable to deal with two long-armed racc.o.o.ns?”
He Yiming was not surprised. It was indeed as he’d expected. He was only casually asking as well.
“Mr. Grace, do you know where one can find a five hundred year or older spiritual beast?”
Xie Grace thought for quite while before saying, “Generally, spirit beasts flourish in desolate regions. Five hundred year or older spiritual beasts….I have also merely heard about them, not seen one with my own eyes. However, it is said that in the few restricted zones of Grand Extension country, several such spiritual beasts can be found.”
“Grand Extension country?” He Yiming could only bitterly smile. These words almost meant the same as nowhere.
To them, who lived in the small countries in the east side of the continent, Grand Extension country in the north, which occupied more than one-fifth of the entire continent’s land, seemed too far-fetched.
To say the least, He Yiming never even thought of going to Grand Extension during his journey.
Within the agreed time period of three years, he wouldn’t be able to even make a round trip.
Xie Grace could naturally discern his line of thinking. He smiled and said, “Brother He, actually encountering a five hundred years or older spiritual beast also depends on one’s luck. If your luck is not good, even if you were to travel ten thousand li and go to Grand Extension country, you wouldn’t succeed. However, if your luck is good, you might find your desired spiritual beast in this mountain forest.”
Feeling quite surprised, He Yiming asked, “This mountain forest also has five hundred year or older spiritual beasts?”
Xie Grace extended his hand and slashed a big circle in the air, “This mountain range is endless, running through the continent’s entire northwest region as an aisle. From our Fire Crow to your Heaven Sieve merely const.i.tutes a minute section of it. Since ancient times, n.o.body has ever succeeded in exploring this entire mountain range. What the core of this mountain range looks like, n.o.body knows. That place is a truly desolate region. Even five hundred year spiritual beasts wouldn’t be considered rare there.”
He Yiming slowly nodded, a brilliant l.u.s.ter flickering in his eyes.
While scurrying, Xie Grace threw a quick glance at He Yiming before suddenly taking a deep breath, “Even if one manages to find a five hundred year spiritual beast, whether it’s a good thing or not, it’s hard to tell.”
“Mr. Xie, why would you say that?” He Yiming puzzledly asked.
“The more time a spiritual beast lives, the more its wisdom will be, and its strength would further simply be like a boat riding on a tide. Long-armed racc.o.o.ns are ranked at the bottom among the spiritual beasts. Living for merely about two hundred years, they possess such strength. If you run into some other ferocious spiritual beast, or one that has lived for more than five hundred years, not to mention hunting it, you might not even be able to escape,” His tone was quite slow and even seemed somewhat that of advice, evidently persuading He Yiming to abandon this frightening notion.
Looking at the cordial and sincere expression in Xie Grace’s eyes, He Yiming faintly smiled. The recent battle had given him another method to break through.
During the life and death battle, only when he completely freed his heart and spirit and fought completely unrestrained, he’d been able to faintly establish a connection with the mysterious Worldly Qi.
Forging these circ.u.mstances in a closed-door cultivation was almost impossible.
Therefore, he’d already decided to continue seeking spiritual beasts in the forest. If he encountered a five hundred year or older spiritual beast, even if he couldn’t win, with the two grand Xiantian battle skills at his disposal, he held faith in his ability to escape.
After extensive fighting and killing, perhaps he could gain some sort of enlightenment and breakthrough without consuming a golden core.
