Chapter 26: Spirit Evolution
His gaze first fell upon the spirit rings and Spirit Bones.
Moreover, compared to spirit rings, it seemed that a Spirit Bone was more likely to become the Opportunity for his second spirit's evolution.
After all, Spirit Bones clearly correspond one-to-one with various important parts of the human body, whereas spirit rings hold more uncertainty.
Spirit Bones, although similar to spirit rings, are special items produced after a Spirit Beast dies.
But unlike spirit rings, the drop rate for Spirit Bones is extremely low; looking across all Spirit Beasts, it's less than one in a thousand.
Also unlike spirit rings, Spirit Bones do not have the restriction that only the killer can absorb them, which leads to a situation where demand far exceeds supply.
[Writing to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name; for chasing Taiwan novels, look for the most convenient one.]
Even the most ordinary Spirit Bone can fetch an astronomical price on the market.
When a Spirit Master absorbs a Spirit Bone, not only can they greatly enhance their strength, but they also gain a new skill bestowed by the Spirit Bone.
If the quality of the Spirit Bone itself is extremely high and it is highly compatible with the Spirit Master, it is not impossible for it to trigger further changes or even evolution in the Spirit Master's Spirit.
Besides spirit rings and Spirit Bones, another possible external force is the "Heaven And Earth Treasures" nurtured by the world, and the most common among these Heaven And Earth Treasures in Lin Mo's memory are the "Immortal Herbs."
Thinking of this, he immediately recalled several examples that had left a deep impression on him.
For example, the Immortal Herbs Tang San obtained at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Among them, the "qiluo tulip" provided a Helping Hand to Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in completing a transformation comparable to a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
It forcibly evolved her Spirit from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, breaking the Innaterestriction that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit could only possess seven spirit rings, and incidentally paving her way to becoming a Titled Douluo!
There was also Ma Hongjun; his original Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit had significant flaws, but later he consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower provided by Tang San, which cleared the evil fire and purified his Phoenix Bloodline, finally ridding him of the evil fire's troubles.
Later on Sea God Island, Ma Hongjun received the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent Neidan gifted by Tang San. After swallowing it, it transformed into his seventh spirit ring, allowing his Evil Fire PhoenixSpirit to go a step further and evolve into the Ten headed Fire Phoenix.
Both of these examples involved using spiritual treasures of heaven and earth with compatible attributes to directly bring about the evolution of the Spirit's essence!
As for Tang San's own Blue Silver Grass Spirit evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor, the situation was quite special.
He was under the Helping Hand of a Blue Silver King with a cultivation as high as eighty-five thousand years when he successfully completed his Spirit's evolution, or rather, a second Awakening.
Transforming the Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor.
However, Tang San's Spirit transformation process was not so much an evolution as it was a second Awakening triggered by the stimulation of his Bloodline.
Strictly speaking, this did not rely purely on external objects.
After all, if Tang San didn't have the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline in his body, his Blue Silver Grass would remain Blue Silver Grass for his entire life and could never transform into the Blue Silver Emperor.
"Besides, Tang San's situation is too unique. He isn't a pure human himself, but a hybrid of a human and a Spirit Beast. His Spirit evolution has no reference value."
Lin Mo quickly excluded Tang San; he wasn't a Spirit Beast hybrid and didn't have any hidden top-tier Spirit Beast Bloodline waiting to be Awakened.
Thus, his thoughts returned to "external forces" themselves.
"If my second spirit's evolution also requires external intervention..." Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder, "Then what exactly will my Opportunitybe?"
Would it be some kind of Spirit Bone with an attribute that perfectly matches his Main Body Martial Soul?
For example, a Spirit Bone produced by some top-tier Spirit Beast with powerful vitality or Qi and blood strength?
After absorbing it, perhaps it could trigger the transformation of his Main Body Martial Soul?
Or, like Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun, finding a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth that perfectly matches his Spirit's attributes?
For instance, the qiluo tulip and Ning Rongrong, the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent Neidan and Ma Hongjun, as well as the Myriad Year Profound Ice Pith and all ice-attribute Spirit Masters... where was the spiritual treasure suitable for him? Lin Mo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
However, as soon as he thought about the rarity of these two types of external forces that could facilitate his Spirit's evolution,
The spark of excitement that had just risen in Lin Mo's heart was like having a bucket of cold water thrown on it; it cooled down rapidly, replaced by a deep sense of frustration and helplessness.
The reason was simple: whether it was Spirit Bones or Immortal Herbs and other such Heaven And Earth Treasures, they were not things a lowly First Ring Soul Master like him could come into contact with.
Not to mention Spirit Bones, which are treasures every Spirit Masterdreams of, found only by luck and not by searching.
The appearance of any Spirit Bone is enough to cause a stir in the Spirit Master's world, even sparking bloody conflicts; otherwise, Spirit Bones wouldn't be known as the Treasure of the blood river!
With his current strength, let alone owning one, even catching a glimpse was almost a pipe dream.
And those spiritual treasures like Immortal Herbs were equally incomparable in rarity.
Compared to other ethereal spiritual treasures, Immortal Herbs seemed easier to find. Lin Mo also knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a treasure land, gathered countless Immortal-grade medicinal herbs.
However, setting aside the fact that he had no idea where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well actually was, even if he did, would he have the strength to break in?
Would he be able to seize an Immortal Herb right under the nose of that poison-using Old freak, Dugu Bo? The answer was clearly no.
That would be equivalent to prematurely ending his hard-won third life.
"Strength... in the end, it's still because my strength is insufficient." Lin Mo sighed heavily in his heart, feeling quite helpless.
Knowing exactly where the path might be but lacking the power to walk it—this feeling was truly stifling.
But soon, Lin Mo shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake the frustration out of his mind.
"I can't be too ambitious; it's indeed too early to think about these things," Lin Mo secretly cautioned himself.
For now, what he could do hadn't changed: continue to Cultivate hard and steadily improve his spirit power Rank.
Only when his strength was great enough would he have the qualifications and the chance to seek out those potential opportunities.
And only by being strong himself could he seize an Opportunity when it appeared, rather than watching it slip away before his eyes.
"Rank 30... I'll set a small goal first: to raise my spirit power to Rank 30 as quickly as possible." Lin Mo reaffirmed his conviction.
"By then, not only will Charmander be able to evolve into Charmeleonand gain a massive boost in strength, but I will also be able to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring, taking my overall power to a new level."
"Only then will I possess the initial strength to seek out the Opportunityfor my second spirit's evolution."
As for the even more distant mysteries regarding the second or even third Awakening of the Main Body Martial Soul, they would require even greater strength as a guarantee.
One must walk the path step by step and eat one's meal bite by bite.
Having lived three lives, Lin Mo understood this truth all too well.
Having worked through these thoughts, Lin Mo's heart, which had been somewhat restless due to the Breakthrough in his cultivation, gradually calmed down and returned to its usual steadiness.
He no longer dwelled on the "unknown" evolution conditions on the panel, nor did he worry about future opportunities that were still unknown.
His priority remained hard Cultivation, raising his spirit power, and preparing for his upcoming departure to an Intermediate Spirit Master Academy... The carriage continued to travel smoothly; inside the carriage, the Dean also seemed to have entered a state of Cultivation, letting out steady breaths.
Lin Mo also adjusted his sitting posture to enter a state of Cultivation. At the same time, the spirit power in his body circulated silently, following the path of the Calm Mind method, not wasting a single moment that could be spent on Cultivation.
To Cultivate and become stronger—that was the most important and the only thing he could firmly grasp in his hands right now.
