Bottleneck

Ji An's thoughts drifted. As offspring of the Five-Colored Deer, Green Deer could only cast Wood Element Spells. If the Five-Colored Deer could break through, it would surely become an exceptionally versatile "planting expert." Perhaps one day, he could become a hands-off shopkeeper.

If that happened, not only would he benefit, but the entire sect would as well, because he would lease out the Five-Colored Deer too.

While the True Demon Tribulation had yet to erupt, the sect needed to stockpile more Strategic Supplies. The Department of Agriculture bore an extremely important part of that responsibility.

True Monarch Lianshan laughed heartily. "Most cultivators only want spirit beasts with formidable combat ability. Little do they know that spirit beasts with special abilities like these are the most valuable."

Unless a spirit beast stood at the absolute pinnacle of strength, no matter how powerful its combat ability was, its usefulness remained limited.

But a spirit beast capable of tending tens of thousands of mu of Spirit Fields was vastly more important to a faction, especially when viewed over a long span of time.

More resources could raise the strength of more cultivators. Over a timespan of a thousand years, the difference would become exceptionally clear.

Ji An said nothing. Unless he encountered an enemy at the Nascent Soul level, he could handle combat by himself.

If he truly encountered a Nascent Soul level enemy, even several spirit beasts with formidable combat ability would still be ruthlessly suppressed. At most, they could struggle a little longer; the outcome would not change in any way.

"Very good. Thank you."
