Conditions

Entering the room, Xueqin could see a variety of strange machines all over it. What it caused him a greater impact was a tank filled with a strange liquid at the back, a multicolored stone submerged in it.

"First we will make sure that you have the qualifications," Yi Ming said.

"Qualifications? What are they?" Xueqin asked confused, not knowing the needs when absorbing a spirit soul.

"That why lady Ning asked me to explain everything" Yi Ming sighed for himself "The Myriad Colored Being is a very special spirit soul, requiring stricter conditions, being imposed to not waste it. The first one is that it should be your first spirit soul. In the case of already possessing a spirit soul that would taint it, making it unable to truly adapt at your spirit and become useless."

"The second is age. No one older than 8 years would be permitted to take it as his talent is considered too poor for it" Yi Ming explained.

"Finally, the most restrictive, your spiritual power. You might not know what is the spiritual power, but you can take it as the power of your mind. Great spiritual power is necessary to absorb a strong spirit soul" He said "The spiritual power had its own rank apart from the soul power, quantified in numbers and realms."

"The realms are 1-99 Spirit Origin Realm. 100-499 Spirit Connection Realm. 500-4.900 Spirit Abyss Realm. 20.000-49.999 Spirit Domain Realm. Finally, over 50.000, it's the Divine Realm"

"To be able to absorb the Myriad Colored Being, you need to have a spiritual power of at least 40" Yi Ming finished his explanation about spiritual power "There's only one exemption about that rules that is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit. The people with that spirit are exempt, being able to absorb it."

"Before we start with the tests, do you have any questions?" he asked.

"Weilan told me that the Myriad Colored Being was considered the best spirit soul, adapting to the user, creating the most fitting spirit skills to him. However, she didn't tell me if there are other characteristics or difficulties comparing it with other spirit souls. I want to ask if there are"

"Like you seemed to suppose there are some complications with it. " Yi Ming said "The Myriad Colored Being is truly a treasure, besides what miss Ning had explained you, the strongest quality is the ability to mutate, not only itself but even the spirit of the owner, making highly possible future evolution of the spirit once the Myriad Colored Being become older enough."

"However, all power goes with a cost and the Myriad Colored Being is no an exemption. It is considered the most difficult spirit soul to grow. It is completely different from other spirit souls as it can't grow by simply absorbing energy at the Spirit Ascension Platform, instead, it needed the owner's comprehension and spiritual power to grow, growing with him. It's extremely difficult to break through the 10.000 years old and for the 100.000 years old, in the actuality, there's only one recorded person with one at that age."

"Not like it was a drawback when it was invented. 10.000 years ago when Ning Maya created it, there was no way to grow spirit souls, so a spirit soul capable of growth was better than a normal one. But in the end, the Ning Maya's objective when she created wasn't peace with spirit beasts or anything pure, it was purely for her clan. Mister Qian, do you know the worst limitation of the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Clan?"

Xueqin shook his head, not even exactly knowing the spirit, only having seen in one of the murals.

"It's its limitation to break through to the spirit douluo realm, being the limit of the user the 79 rank. To be able to breakthrough, the spirit must be evolved to a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, being able to reach the titled douluo rank and further. However, this evolution was almost impossible to produce, needing extremely rare immortal herbs."

Xueqin opened his eyes realizing where the conversation was going "The Myriad Colored Being is able to evolve it?"

"Correct" answered Yi Ming "Ning Maya considered her clan the most important, wanting to improve it over all the other. With Huo Yuhao introducing the first spirit soul, she created her own artificial from zero to improve her clan spirit. All of this, when she didn't really need it as Ning Maya was the only recorded to have an innate Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as her spirit as she awakened."

"Woaw" Xueqin was surprised, seemed to be very difficult to evolve, but it was worth enough. If his master had recommended him this, it must be because it was the perfect one for him!

"Let's start with the test" Yi Ming went near a computer, typing something over a tablet. The floor opened between them, a blue sphere surging from it "This will evaluate your soul power and age. Put your hand over the sphere."

Xueqin did like he said, resting his hand over the sphere that shined brightly. Over the screen, it appeared the numbers 10/6'5.

"10 of soul power, meaning no other spirit soul and six and a half years old." said Yi Ming "All correct. Let's pass to the spiritual power test. Go back a little"

Xueqin stepped back a little, the blue sphere hiding under the ground, with a chair with a helmet hanging over him appeared.

"Sit down and calm down, breathing slowly" Xueqin sat over the chair, the helmet enclosing over his head, covering his sight "It could produce a headache the first time, but it is normal. Do not worry."

Xueqin sensed some pull from his head, but no headache came.

"Impossible" Yu Ming mumbled shocked seeing the results "We will make it again, stay quiet a moment more" Yu Ming commanded, but the number at the screen didn't change. He looked at the little boy over the chair "No wonder lady Ning had him in her view, what a monster."

The helped lifted, releasing Xueqin "You can already get up" Xueqin stood up and looked to the screen the number in it being 255. How could Yu Ming not be shocked? A spirit trainee at the age of 6 with a spiritual power already at the intermediary level of the Spirit Connection Realm, this was unheard!

"Something wrong?" Xueqin asked worried seeing the shocked face of Yi Ming and doing the test two times.

"No, there's no problem. It was simply a surprise for my part" (If nothing happen to that boy, he would undoubtedly become a powerhouse, especially having lady Ning's favor) "All the tests are correct, you are able to absorb it without any problem."

Yi Ming typed more things, a rumble listening over the back of the room. The liquid tank started compressing over the multicolored stone until it was only some centimeters bigger than it. Some mechanic arm took the new tank and put it over a black round recipient.

Yi Ming carefully took the round recipient "Here you have your first spirit soul. Be careful with it" He gave it to Xueqin who took it with both hands, extremely carefully. He was carrying a treasure that most probably would cost more than he could even imagine!

"Would you absorb it now?" Yi Ming "I could prepare all the machines and environment, making the perfect surroundings to your absorption."

"Thanks, but there's no need" Xueqin negated, "My master said otherwise."

Yi Ming nodded in understanding. Most of the people that come here were from secret or extremely powerful clans, each one with their customs and secrets. It was normal for them to not want to show them to the Spirit Pagoda.

Having finished there, Xueqin left the room, this time for a completely different way, following some kind of secret passage that left him outside of the Spirit Pagoda. Xueqin quickly ran towards the hotel, excited about his new spirit skill and nervous about having such a treasure in his hands. His heart pounding strongly.
