Beast Peak.
Inside Qi Yan's dwelling.
"After receiving the research insights of Beast Peak's past seniors on the Ghost-Patterned Stone Dragon Lizard from you, martial uncle, I spent a long time pondering how to help it break through... I felt that perhaps the only way to unravel the mystery of its bloodline was through a lifespan breakthrough."
"So, in the simulation for the final question at the Hundred Questions Tower, I tried preparing large quantities of lifespan-extending spirit items for them and accelerating time. From a large population of Ghost-Patterned Stone Dragon Lizards, I kept breeding them and selecting those with the longest lifespans, to see whether I could find one that could break through its lifespan limit... Unfortunately, I still failed."
Standing before Qi Yan, Wang Ba spoke without so much as blinking.
Hearing Wang Ba's words, Qi Yan was somewhat disappointed, but he nevertheless gave a rare nod.
"The approach isn't particularly novel, but searching for one that can achieve a lifespan breakthrough through generations of selection is a decent direction... It's no wonder you earned ten points, if you considered things this far."
Qi Yan knew very well.
His question actually had no definitive answer. Instead, he had left it to the Hundred Questions Tower's core-the Sea Pearl-to judge for itself.
Sea Pearls were exceedingly rare treasures of the sea. Lower-grade ones could simulate reality, allowing cultivators to accomplish things impossible in the real world, such as accelerating time or instantly recreating lifelike living beings.
Higher-grade Sea Pearls, once supplied with vast amounts of relevant knowledge and information, could even help cultivators develop cultivation methods, law techniques, and even changes in heaven and earth...
Of course, even throughout the Myriad Phenomena Sect, such Sea Pearls were extraordinarily rare and could be counted on one's fingers.
