Indeed, it had spirituality!
Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, daring not to make the slightest movement.
Since ancient times, there were numerous folk tales about animals with spirituality practicing cultivation, Fox Worshiping the Moon, Wolf Howling Moon, Snake Spits Fog, tortoises breathing for long periods, rats listening to scriptures...
Li Yan had inquired about this matter with Wang Daoxuan.
After all, this world didn't have what one calls Spiritual Energy.
No matter how much beasts cultivated, it was hard to change their fundamental nature.
According to Wang Daoxuan's explanation, animal cultivation wasn't Transformation, but rather somewhat like humans Storing God; once their Divine Souls became powerful, they could utilize Evil Qi to perform some spells.
These spells came from instinct, some strong, some weak.
The weaker ones, like a yellow weasel dancing to bewilder rabbits before effortlessly catching them.
