"Teacher Zhao, you're taking me out to train?" Tie Li looked at Zhao Tianhe in surprise.
He had just stepped out of the dormitory when he saw Zhao Tianhe waiting for him outside.
"Training is also a form of cultivation. Let me ask you something first: what do you think of the academy's simulated cultivation environments?"
"They're decent. Quite a bit faster than normal meditation cultivation," Tie Li answered honestly.
"Do you know where the idea for simulated cultivation environments came from?" Zhao Tianhe asked mysteriously.
Tie Li immediately thought of White Ground, a gathering place for lightning-attribute plant-type soul beasts. Cultivating among plant-type soul beasts tempered one's lightning attribute, made Soul Power more active, and accelerated cultivation.
His martial soul was the Purple Thunder Hammer. Though it was suppressed when facing a higher-ranking Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, tempering its lightning attribute through plant-type soul beasts had given it the violent nature unique to lightning-attribute soul beasts, reducing the martial soul suppression.
"Special regions tend to attract soul beasts and are known as soul beast gathering grounds. In truth, it isn't just soul beasts. We soul masters also occupy naturally formed regions because such environments are better suited for cultivation.
"For example, fire-attribute sects that favor volcanic craters, ice-attribute soul masters in the Far North, and sea soul masters in coastal regions."
"There are quite a few soul master sects within the empire. After developing for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, their understanding and development of martial souls runs very deep.
"Your martial soul is the lightning-attribute Purple Thunder Hammer. You can try cultivating at a lightning-attribute sect. They occupy natural cultivation environments."
As he spoke, Zhao Tianhe took a token from his robes, one bearing the emblem of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
