After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 309

If Mo Jiuwei were to say, the best thing would be for the people of Wuya Sect to stop thinking about getting something for nothing and instead work hard to find treasures themselves, so that whatever they get would be theirs.

Actually, it's not that they didn't find any treasures, just fewer. After all, most of the paths they walked were the same ones walked by the disciples of the Immortal Sect, and they also had other things to do, so they didn't have much time to freely search for treasures.

Thinking this, Mo Jiuwei slapped her forehead.

"One should be content and not want everything. I have already received their entire fortune, how can I ask them to toil away in the secret realm to find treasure? That's going too far and I need to reflect on my actions."

After reflecting on her actions, Mo Jiuwei looked down at her short legs again.

"These legs are too short. Even with the Swiftness Talisman, I still run so slowly... It would be great to have a mount, preferably one that can fly and run."

She had a mount/spirit beast in her previous life, but not in this one.

It wasn't that she didn't want it, nor that she lacked the means. After the Immortal Sect became wealthy, Mo Jiuwei had been paying extra attention to this matter, but she hadn't found a satisfactory one yet.

Because she had quite a few requirements.

First of all, the demon beast's cultivation level cannot be low; it must be able to fight and run, and everything cannot be handed over to Mo Jiuwei, its master.

Secondly, it must be suitable for both land and air travel, and the comfort level must be high, ideally allowing one or two adult women to lie down comfortably.

Finally, looks are important too; ugly things won't do.

It's already rare to find someone who meets even two of these three criteria, let alone all three. It's truly hard to find even with a lantern.

Mo Jiuwei wasn't in a hurry to find a mount, because she was still young and rarely went out alone; she was usually carried by someone.

But there are always special times, aren't there? Like now, I have to travel there myself.

The main reason is that the forest is open and not suitable for using flying magic artifacts, otherwise it would be troublesome if someone saw it. Otherwise, Mo Jiuwei would not have needed to come here in person.

"A mount? The Snowhorn Flying Steed." Xiao Hui talked to her, "My master... the elders in my former master's family used it as a mount, it was so majestic!"

"There's even a Snowhorn Flying Steed here?" Mo Jiuwei's eyes lit up immediately. "What's its cultivation level?"

The Snowhorn Flying Steed has a small, pointed, snow-white horn, a pale yellow body, and wings on its back. It can indeed run and fly, and its appearance is considered outstanding among monsters.

However, this type of demonic beast is somewhat special. When they are born, their cultivation level is at least the second rank, which is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage of a cultivator.

However, they can improve their cultivation level through acquired means!
Most demonic beasts are difficult to improve through later training. Generally, it depends only on the strength of their bloodline. They are relatively weak at birth, but they will reach their peak after adulthood. After that, they can only break through by chance.

However, the Snowhorn Flying Steed has a lot of room for improvement; it is said that it can be cultivated to the fifth level at its highest!

The way they improve is somewhat similar to that of cultivators. Except that they cannot cultivate techniques, they can advance and break through by consuming spiritual objects or by breathing in spiritual energy in places rich in spiritual energy.

But this also means there are risks: seeking places with high spiritual energy requires taking risks and competing with other monsters for territory.

However, consuming spiritual items also carries risks. Not only will it lead to conflicts with other demonic beasts, but it may also result in consuming something one shouldn't eat, leading to poisoning and death.

This results in their very small numbers, with many dying violent deaths.

This is probably the negative effect of having a lot of room for improvement and great potential in cultivation.

“Third tier,” Xiao Hui said.

Mo Jiuwei was pleasantly surprised, "Third rank? Doesn't that mean the talent is above average, and the talent has been awakened?" Like cultivators, most demon beasts are at the first or second rank, and those at the third rank or above are considered powerful.

Mo Jiuwei was pleased that it could break through to the second tier, which meant it had potential and could continue to improve.

Once the Snowhorn Flying Steed reaches the third tier, it will awaken its innate power!

As its appearance suggests, the Snowhorn Flying Steed's innate power is purification. Anything that causes physical discomfort or negative effects will quietly disappear and cease to exist under its innate power.

Simply put, this can be considered a healing technique.

If one can reach the fifth rank, this innate power will become even stronger.

Most demonic beasts are violent, but the Snowhorn Flying Steed is relatively gentle. Coupled with its innate power, it can be considered an excellent companion for cultivators.

If such an unclaimed Snowhorn Flying Steed were to appear on the mainland, it would surely attract the attention of many cultivators, who would not hesitate to join the competition!
However, as far as Mo Jiuwei knew, she had never heard of the Snowhorn Flying Steed appearing on the mainland.

It only exists in some animal books, which shows that it existed in the past, but whether it is still alive now is unknown.

I never expected to find one in this secret realm!

"Yes, there used to be more than one, but now all of them except this one are dead," Xiao Hui said with regret.

"Where is the living Snowhorn Flying Steed?" Mo Jiuwei asked.

It's better to ask the local tower about the native beasts.

"It's nearby."

"What??"

Mo Jiuwei suddenly stopped running.

"It's in this mountain, very close to you." Xiao Hui's voice was a little nervous. "Master, you're not thinking of going to find it, are you? You definitely can't manage alone!"

That's a third-tier demonic beast, no weaker than a Golden Core cultivator.

Although Snowhorn Flying Steed is good-natured, it is only relatively so. If someone provokes it, it will still become enraged and hurt people.

Besides, Mo Jiuwei's plan was to tame a mount. Just think about it, what good beast would willingly lower its head to let a human ride it? That would be too humiliating.

Most importantly, their master's cultivation level is truly...

The tower spirit was worried, hoping that the Snowhorn Flying Steed wouldn't swallow her whole as soon as it saw its master.

“It’s so close, it would be really inexcusable not to go.” Mo Jiuwei’s eyes darted around, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was necessary to go. “Bringing someone along would be inappropriate, I’ll have to go by myself.”

If this were on the mainland, Mo Jiuwei would definitely not go alone; she would find a skilled bodyguard to accompany her.

However, in the secret realm, the highest cultivation level a cultivator can reach is only Foundation Establishment, which makes it more convenient for one person to be alone.

When it comes to the highest level of cultivation, one well-known rule is:
In order to maintain the balance of spiritual energy within the secret realm and prevent it from collapsing as soon as someone enters, all outside cultivators entering the secret realm must have a cultivation level at least one level lower than that of the native inhabitants.

The highest level that can be reached in this secret realm is the Foundation Establishment stage, which means that the monsters currently living here are at the third or fourth level.

Mo Jiuwei even suspected that the reason why this Snowhorn Flying Steed only cultivated to the third level was not because of its own strength limit, but because of the limit of this secret realm.
