"The Profound Cyan Snake..."
Recalling the descriptions of this Spirit Beast in the ancient texts, Qi Ping couldn't help but reveal a look of interest on his face.
It is a particularly unique attributeless Spirit Beast.
When the Profound Cyan Snake first hatches, its physical body and Divine Soul strength might be no different from some ordinary Tier Three Spirit Beasts, and perhaps even slightly inferior.
The bloodline doesn't endow it powerful magic, so its combat methods are also quite ordinary.
The only commendable parts are its strong, flexible body, and its not-too-weak Divine Soul, along with its high combat reflexes and agility.
However, compared to Spirit Beasts of the same tier bloodline, it's much weaker, almost just a pretty vase.
At this stage, if the Profound Cyan Snake encounters them, it would purely be on the receiving end of the fight, and may even die on the spot if unlucky.
In its youth, it can truly be described as weak.
But there is a reason it can be rated as a Tier Four intermediate bloodline, and Qi Ping even believes that Tier Four intermediate might be a bit low, and going higher isn't out of the question.
What allows the Profound Cyan Snake to rise against the tide is its bloodline's hallmark talent ability: the Profound Mirror Image!
This talent grants the Profound Cyan Snake the ability to observe the myriad of laws of the world!
By using this talent, the Profound Cyan Snake can quickly learn the abilities or magic of other Spirit Beasts or humans through daily observation and combat observation!
Thanks to this talent, almost every Profound Cyan Snake that reaches adulthood smoothly becomes a true hexagonal warrior!
They become proficient in nearly all common magical abilities and can easily see through the weaknesses of spell casters, using the simplest methods to defeat them!
At this point, the benefits of their attributeless nature are fully revealed, allowing them to cast most types of magic. Although slightly less powerful, they can replicate seven to eighty percent, or even more, of the battle strength!
But this ability also has its limitations; even the Profound Mirror Image of the Profound Cyan Snake cannot easily decipher highly special or extremely mystical abilities.
This results in a common issue for the Profound Cyan Snake, where they have a wide range of abilities but none particularly outstanding.
This leads many Profound Cyan Snakes to only dominate mid to low-level competition; when facing truly powerful Spirit Beasts, like the Illusionary Dream Moth or Spirit-Devouring Beast, their chances of survival are very slim.
However, this does not mean the Profound Cyan Snake is weak, because some of them leverage this ability to pave a path far beyond the same-tier bloodlines!
They integrate the laws of all spirits, gathering the best from various sources, ultimately forging a path of invincible physical body and flawless Divine Soul. They become not only perfect hexagonal warriors but also possess extraordinary battle strength!
Indeed, leveraging this talent, many Profound Cyan Snakes have pushed their bloodline limits and became renowned powerhouses among the Demon Race, though such Profound Cyan Snakes are few.
Simply put, it is a type of Spirit Beast with a low floor but also a high ceiling.
How far it can grow in the future depends entirely on its own comprehension and effort.
And it is precisely this characteristic that fills Qi Ping's heart with joy.
Because the path of breaking limits is exactly the path he wants to take!
To use what he has to forge a path completely his own, unshackled by bloodline!
Now, Qi Ping is gradually transitioning past the initial stage, and his Druid profession has been steadily developing, gaining many powerful abilities and talents.
But a conviction has always existed within Qi Ping: harness the strengths of both the Cultivator and the Druid to forge a path that truly reaches the heavens and breezes through the secrets of immortality!
To Qi Ping, failing to forge one's own path means being nothing more than a puppet on strings.
Only by penetrating to the source and comprehending all laws can one truly understand the Immortal Dao!
"The Profound Cyan Snake, it is!"
After recalling numerous records about the Profound Cyan Snake, Qi Ping immediately made his final decision.
To Qi Ping, the Profound Cyan Snake holds much greater value than the Spirit-Devouring Beast or Illusionary Dream Moth!
The Profound Cyan Snake is rare in the Immortal Cultivation Realm; not acquiring one would be a real regret for Qi Ping.
After making his decision, Qi Ping promptly initiated a trade request on the Mysterious Black Market.
Quickly, through Qi Ping's actions, the original 318,785 Black Market Points rapidly decreased by 2,800, then by another 280,000, leaving just over 10,000 Black Market Points.
With the remaining points, Qi Ping selected some potentially highly useful and rare spirit seeds and Spirit Trees to enrich the variety and quantity of Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Trees in his territory.
Upon finalizing his order, the Black Market Points in the Black Market Token dwindled to just over 5,000, which Qi Ping retained for contingencies.
Qi Ping's original collection of over 86,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones was also about to reduce to just over 55,000.
"The Black Market Points vanish like smoke, but it's all worth it!"
...
With overwhelming anticipation, Qi Ping waited for over a week before finally seeing the familiar box puppet.
Once in front of Qi Ping, the box puppet swiftly revealed a Profound Cyan Snake egg covered with cyan scales and glowing with a hazy cyan light.
This was no surprise to Qi Ping; he already knew from the product information that this purchase was a nearly hatched snake egg.
Carefully taking the cyan-scaled snake egg, Qi Ping could clearly feel the young yet extremely powerful heartbeat within!
Vaguely, Qi Ping seemed to hear a hiss filled with hope for breaking out of the shell, a sound that was young yet full of hope.
As Qi Ping slowly approached his aura to the inside of the snake egg, an incredibly familiar sensation emerged from within.
Feeling this familiarity, a smile rose at the corners of Qi Ping's mouth.
The contract would undoubtedly proceed smoothly, and the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the little creature inside also made Qi Ping very fond of it.
"I hope it's a little one full of surprises!"
If this Profound Cyan Snake's aptitude and comprehension are good, with the potential to carve its own path, its growth with him would surely be far superior to that in the wild.
Because here, it lacks neither practice nor Spirit Beasts to observe, nor a wealth of powerful magical knowledge.
In fact, with Qi Ping's ongoing collection, the quantities of magic within the territory will only increase; if this Profound Cyan Snake can utilize all of them, it could truly reach an incredible level.
Upon confirming everything was in order, Qi Ping completed the trade with the box puppet and brought the Profound Cyan Snake egg back to his territory.
This Profound Cyan Snake still requires some time before it hatches, giving Qi Ping time to upgrade his Druid Level to eight...
