Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Su Wen did not refuse. He pondered on the requirements for his fifth Spirit Ring, preferring a spatial attribute Spirit Ring that was close to ten thousand years old, if possible even older.
"Grandpa Dugu alone might not necessarily succeed. Having more helpers means more options. Bringing Sword Douluo along should make it safer," Su Wen thought to himself.
Searching for a spatial attribute Spirit Beast was already troublesome, and if the hunt failed and the target escaped, it would likely take a long time to find it again.
"Alright, Xiaowen, here is the list of Spirit Bones from the sect's treasury. See which ones are more suitable, and I'll have someone fetch them," Ning Fengzhi said generously.
Exchanging a few Spirit Bones for a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit is definitely worthwhile.
Su Wen took the list and almost dropped it in shock. The list contained numerous Spirit Bones, each with descriptions of their corresponding Spirit Skills.
Among them, there were a total of eleven ten thousand years old Spirit Bones!
Moreover, these were likely the rewards or leftovers from rewards within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As for thousand years old Spirit Bones, there were even more, densely packed with dozens of them.
Of course, most of these Spirit Bones were incomplete.
From the list, Su Wen saw Spirit Bones he had never seen before. There were three one-hundred years old Spirit Bones and one ten-years old Spirit Bone.
The higher the age, the greater the chance of a Spirit Bone eruption. This increase in probability wasn't linear but rather had a leap-like advancement.
In theory, hundred-years old Spirit Bones shouldn't even erupt.
This is because the Soul Power within hundred-years old Spirit Beasts is inherently too weak. In most cases, it doesn't even meet the basic energy requirements for condensing Spirit Bones. Only under some rare coincidences do these conditions align, and then there's the challenge of dealing with the already low eruption rate of hundred-years old Spirit Bones.
Under these two stringent conditions, hundred-years old Spirit Bones are incredibly rare.
Ten-years old Spirit Bones are even more absurd, rarer than ten thousand years old Spirit Bones.
However, these are still Spirit Bones that can provide an additional Spirit Skill for Spirit Masters. Even when a ten-years old Spirit Bone is integrated into a Spirit Master, it can significantly enhance the corresponding physical qualities of the Spirit Master's body parts.
Therefore, there is still value in ten-years old Spirit Bones.
Quickly browsing through the list of Spirit Bones and their associated skills, Su Wen contemplated which Spirit Skills would be useful for himself.
Indeed, he didn't fancy these Spirit Bones, at least not for absorbing them himself.
However, he could study the Spirit Skills within the Spirit Bones, replicate them, and enrich his own arsenal.
By replicating a large number of Spirit Skills from Spirit Bones, Su Wen could smoothly develop his own Replicated Spirit Skills, thus delving into the engraving development of Martial Spirit Spirit Skills.
"Dark Shadow Leopard left leg bone, one thousand years old, Spirit Skill Shadow Clone."
"Purple Fox skull, three thousand years old, Spirit Skill Spirit Shock."
"Bright Flower right arm bone, seven thousand years old, Spirit Skill Healing Light."
Su Wen selected 3 thousands years old Spirit Bones and a twenty thousand years old Megalodon Skull Spirit Bones with the Spirit Skill Water Master.
In total, four Spirit Bones. Ning Fengzhi didn't even furrow his brow as he took them out and handed them to Su Wen.
"Xiaowen, you must be careful with these four Spirit Bones, don't leak any information."
Not everyone has the profound background of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to casually bring out four Spirit Bones. Most Spirit Masters, knowing that Su Wen possesses four Spirit Bones, would stop at nothing to cut him down.
Even if it means offending the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and many other strong figures like Dugu Bo, some might still take the risk.
People always have a sense of luck. What if they can hide their identity well?
Besides, Su Wen doesn't just have four Spirit Bones; he has another four.
It's simply beyond belief.
In fact, in terms of quantity, Su Wen's Spirit Bones already exceed the total of six Spirit Bones in a Spirit Master's body.
Now that he has found all the Spirit Bones except for the torso and left arm bones, Su Wen thought, "It's time for me to go into seclusion for a while."
Leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Su Wen planned to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a period of seclusion.
Whether it's breaking through level fifty, studying the Ring Replacement Method, or developing Replication Spirit Skills, he needs to seclude himself properly.
However, before he could truly seclude himself, Su Wen received a message from Xiao Zhan.
Since handing over the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Xiao Zhan before going to hunt the Mirror Image Beast, Su Wen hasn't seen Xiao Zhan for almost half a year.
While refining the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower only takes a few short hours, mastering the Soul Power Circulation Route for Su Wen's Spirit Core condensation method requires a significant amount of time and effort.
Moreover, the so-called Spirit Core condensation method is only a rudimentary form, or rather, it can only be a rudimentary form.
Each Spirit Master's situation is different, so there can't be a completely standardized Soul Power Circulation Route suitable for every Spirit Master's Spirit Core condensation.
Even though the threshold for the Spirit Core Method has been lowered compared to the breakthrough methods in the current Spirit Master world, ultimately, success is only possible when it aligns extremely well with the Spirit Master.
Xiao Zhan first learned the rudimentary method, studied its operational route, then gradually improved it based on his own feelings and years of cultivation until it completely matched his own situation, before preparing to break through.
At this moment, while refining the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and preparing to break through with the aid of its medicinal properties, he sent Su Wen to the Academy.
"Uncle Zhan, who is she?" Su Wen asked, pointing to another stunning woman in the room, aged around twenty-five or twenty-six.
Although he appeared puzzled on the surface, he actually had a good guess about the answer.
"This is my daughter, Xiao Huo. She was previously practicing at Spirit Hall Academy. Half a year ago, she graduated from the Academy and recently arrived in Heaven Dou City," Xiao Zhan explained.
Xiao Zhan's daughter, Xiao Huo.
"Are you Su Wen?" Xiao Huo knew of Su Wen's existence from her father's letter.
As Xiao Huo was studying at Spirit Hall Academy in Spirit City at the time, Xiao Zhan didn't explain much but simply marveled at Su Wen's strong talent. This made Xiao Huo very curious about Su Wen.
She couldn't understand why a mere fourteen-years old could receive such praise from her father.
It's worth noting that, despite being highly favored throughout her life, the highest praise she received still couldn't compare to Xiao Zhan's praise for Su Wen.
"Yes, hello, Sister Huo," Su Wen looked at Xiao Huo, sensing her Soul Power aura, silently amazed.
Truly worthy of being Uncle Zhan's daughter, her Soul Power has reached level fifty!
Yes, level fifty!
At only twenty-five years old, she has already broken through level fifty in Soul Power.
But unfortunately, the Spirit Master Competition will be held in a year and a half, by which time Xiao Huo will have exceeded the age limit for the competition.
Otherwise, she would undoubtedly be the most eye-catching participant in the Spirit Master Competition.
However, even so, Xiao Huo actually participated in the previous Spirit Master Competition. She was one of the members of the Spirit Hall Team in the previous competition.
"Xiaowen, next, I will attempt to break through the bottleneck and condense the Spirit Core. I can't guarantee success"
