Chapter 541: Stringent Conditions
In the office of Dean Fei at the Shazhou Beastmaster University's Cultivation Academy, Li Qian sat to the side, listening intently as the school's high-level officials engaged in a heated discussion.
As the conversation continued, Dean Fei suddenly turned his head and cued Li Qian, "Student Li Qian, what do you think?"
"I think the leaders have made excellent points, and I fully support them," Li Qian replied, continuing to scroll through his news feed.
Of course, this was also his genuine thought. Enhancing the strength of Shazhou Beastmaster University would be nothing but beneficial for him.
"Right, Li Qian, tell us, what specific conditions are required for the evolution of the Nine-Phoenix Maple Tree?" After a somewhat less heated discussion, the school officials finally reached a consensus. Immediately after, they all turned their inquiring gazes towards Li Qian.
Previously, Li Qian had mentioned that the evolution conditions for the Nine-Phoenix Maple Tree were very stringent, and the required resources were quite extravagant.
However, they didn't have a clear understanding of just how stringent the conditions were or how extravagant the resources needed to be, so they were curious at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Li Qian responded with a smile, ready to reveal the truth and dampen their enthusiasm.
There was no other way; this group of high-ranking officials, after discussing together, had already raised the standard for possessing the Nine-Phoenix Maple Tree to the point where every academy and every mystic realm was expected to have one.
This was a bit unrealistic. Of course, if the entire school's strength was mobilized and they tried their utmost, there was still a chance, but it simply wasn't worth the effort.
There was also the possibility of achieving success if they extended the timeline, but it would be unrealistic to do so within a short period.
Thinking this, Li Qian calmly spoke, stating the conditions and resources required for evolution, "I won't go into the evolution of the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree before this. The evolution method is public knowledge, and you all clearly understand how much time, effort, and resources are needed, so I won't elaborate further."
"I'll directly start with the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree. The Nine-Phoenix Maple Tree evolves from the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree, and you all know this as well."
Without pausing, Li Qian continued, "Here, let me first talk about the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree. Not all Ancient Golden Banyan Trees possess the qualifications for evolution."
In fact, Dean Fei and President Park had already suspected this, but confirmation still caused their faces to stiffen involuntarily.
At this moment, they could only hope that the conditions for achieving the qualifications mentioned by Li Qian later would be simpler; otherwise, just this step might eliminate numerous Ancient Golden Banyan Trees.
The school's high-level officials all thought the same, but unfortunately, the actual situation did not bend to their will.
In the next moment, the conditions Li Qian stated caused their hearts to suddenly sink, "As we all know, the racial potential of the Ancient Golden Banyan Tree is Imperial High Rank. Depending on individual differences, they can range from the seventh rank to the ninth rank."
"In theory, as long as they break through the racial potential limit, they have the potential to advance to the Holy Spirit rank. Yes, the first advancement condition for this Ancient Golden Banyan Tree is to break through the racial potential limit and advance to the Holy Spirit rank!"
"Hiss..." As soon as Li Qian finished speaking, several school officials couldn't help but exhale in shock.
For companion beasts with Imperial High Rank potential to break through their racial potential limit and advance to the Holy Spirit rank was extremely challenging, even if it couldn't be compared to a Holy Spirit Peak breaking through to the Legendary Rank.
Even with the accumulation of various resources, a success rate of one-tenth is already considered very high.
Moreover, this is under the premise of choosing the Imperial Peak's Ancient Golden Banyan, which is the Imperial Ninth Rank. If the Imperial Seventh Rank and Imperial Eighth Rank were included, the probability would be significantly lower.
After hearing the first condition mentioned by Li Qian, the school's high-level executives silently exchanged glances.
In that brief moment of eye contact, they essentially ruled out the Ancient Golden Banyans of the Imperial Seventh Rank and Imperial Eighth Rank.
Compared to the seventh and eighth ranks, there's no doubt that the ninth-rank Ancient Golden Banyan has a higher probability of breaking through the power limit and naturally holds more cultivation value.
After scanning the reactions of the crowd, Li Qian didn't waste any time and continued, "This second evolution condition is actually complementary to the first evolution condition."
"This condition is to learn the 'Rebirth Seed' skill and raise it to the Perfect Realm. Additionally, it's best to break through the 'Ancient Blessing' skill to the Perfect Realm at this stage."
Li Qian's expression remained neutral as he spoke in a calm tone, "The reason I say they are complementary is that, without breaking the power limit and advancing to the Sacred Spirit, it's impossible for the Ancient Golden Banyan to learn the 'Rebirth Seed' skill under normal circumstances."
"Of course, even if it learns the skill, without breaking the power limit and advancing to the Sacred Spirit, I wouldn't recommend attempting evolution. Learning the 'Rebirth Seed' skill is just one of the purposes of breaking the limit. After breaking the limit, the pet beast's body can carry more energy, which is also a very important condition."
As for the Perfect-Realm 'Ancient Blessing' skill, Li Qian didn't elaborate further, as achieving this condition wasn't difficult for the high-level executives present.
At this point, Li Qian suddenly remembered something, and a faint smile curved his lips, "Oh right, there's a technique I can share with you."
"Strictly speaking, the evolution starting point of the Nine-Phoenix Maple Tree isn't the Ancient Golden Banyan, but the tree seed transformed by the Ancient Golden Banyan using the 'Rebirth Seed' skill."
"When the Ancient Golden Banyan uses this skill, it's akin to reincarnation, and some of the energy within its body must be released."
This point is actually quite easy to understand. Such a large tree transforms into a small tree seed, about the size of a peach pit, so it's natural that it can't bear all the energy originally within the Ancient Golden Banyan.
Releasing the energy is a natural consequence, and this released energy becomes crucial.
Li Qian looked at the crowd and shared his speculation, "There's a detail here that you need to pay attention to. If my guess is correct, this energy can be utilized. Other Ancient Golden Banyans can borrow this energy to break through their racial potential limit."
"As for the specific method, you can consult with Mu Tianhua, the head of the Mu Family in Cloudwave City."
Initially, Li Qian had learned about this method from the Mu Family's Second Ancestor when he advanced to the Legendary Rank. The Second Ancestor had used this method.
However, Li Qian didn't mention the idea of first allowing the Ancient Golden Banyan to mutate once using Sun Essence Gold to reach a higher racial potential limit.
Aside from the danger, in terms of probability, the Ancestor Cypress's mutation was purely coincidental and lacked any operational feasibility.
