Cultivation Online novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 - Spiritual Beast

"What’s a Spiritual Beast? That sounds powerful." Yu Rou asked Xiao Hua.

"They are magical beasts... but naturally more powerful, just like Divine Beasts. However, they’re not quite as powerful as Divine Beasts. There’s also a chance that a Spiritual Beast can evolve into a Divine Beast." Xiao Hua said.​​

She looked at the tiger cub and said, "It’s very rare to find a Spiritual Beast this young since they’re usually with their parents, and for you to make it into your servant... You got incredibly lucky."

Yu Rou picked up the ball of fluff and hugged it. "Hehe... I knew she was special the moment I saw her, but I didn’t think she was this special. I really lucked out!"

Xiao Hua nodded and said, "That’s why you should keep her hidden unless you absolutely need her. There are people out there who would steal others’ servants out of jealousy, especially if they are rare creatures."

"What?! Really? How does that work? Stealing another individual’s servant." Yu Rou asked.

"If the Master dies, the contract will naturally end. Though there are methods to forcefully sever a contract without killing the Master." Xiao Hua said.

"That sounds scary..." Yu Rou said.

Then she called Snowy back just in case.

"There shouldn’t be many people who can recognize a Spiritual Beast in the Lower Heavens since they are so rare, but you should still be careful."

"I understand. Thank you, Xiao Hua." Yu Rou nodded.

"Does it have any special abilities?" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Nope. The only thing she can do is bite, but she’s too small to even fight effectively." Yu Rou said.

Then she turned to look at Xiao Hua and asked, "Is there any way to make Spiritual Beasts grow faster? I will have to look for another servant if it’s going to take a few years before I can let Snowy fight."

Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Yes, there are treasures that can speed up a magical beast’s growth, but they are incredibly rare."

"Great! I will keep that in mind." Yu Rou said.

Sometime later, Yuan said, "Let’s do some quests together. You two can pick."

"Are you sure? The quests may be too easy for you." Yu Rou said.

"I don’t mind. I just want to spend time with you."

"Okay. Then let’s go look for some quests."

Sometime later, they entered the city and asked around to see whether there was any quest they could do.

After about an hour of looking, they accepted a quest that required them to gather some material that can only be obtained from a certain magical beast.

"The Black Horn Bull can be found at the Orange Field. They’re around the seventh level of Spirit Apprentice. I will need as many horns as you can gather, and I will pay 10 gold coins for each horn." A middle-aged man said to them before handing them a map.

"I understand. We should return soon." Yu Rou said.

After leaving the place, Yu Rou said, "According to the map, the Orange Land is quite far away. It’s going to take us around 10 hours to get there if we walk. However, if we travel by horses or carriages, it’ll be much quicker."

"Carriages?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He then said, "I have never ridden in a carriage before. Let’s try that out."

"Okay!"

"Where do we ride carriages?" Yuan then asked.

"There’s a store that rents horses with carriage service. Let’s go there." Yu Rou said.
