"The benefits a Spirit Master can gain in the living world are also endless. For example, besides the most fundamental source of life that can enhance their cultivation, there are many things that can strengthen their physical form or even their bloodline."
"You mentioned what happens if a Spirit Master is injured and its true form dissipates in the mental world, making communication impossible. Actually, there is a way."
"As far as I know, there is a peculiar fruit called a Spirit Fruit. It has certain effects on the Spirit Master, enhancing the quality of barrier power and the strength of mental power, but it is even more beneficial to the Spirit Master, capable of replenishing their spiritual energy."
"In the situation you described, with just one Spirit Fruit, you can completely awaken the Spirit Master, and its spiritual energy will be more abundant than ever before," Zhuge Liuyun explained.
"A Spirit Fruit? Where can I find such a thing? Where can I buy one?" Chu Feng was overjoyed, feeling as though clouds had parted to reveal the sun. He had finally seen a glimmer of hope for saving Egg.
"Such a precious thing as a Spirit Fruit—how could it be bought? However, as far as I know, there is a place on our Nine Provinces Continent that possesses Spirit Fruit," Zhuge Liuyun said.
"Where?" Chu Feng pressed.
"Spirit Realm!"
"Spirit Realm?"
"Correct. Spirit Realm is one of the Nine Provinces of our Nine Provinces Continent."
"There is a Spirit Master Association there. The Spirit Master Association can be considered the gathering place for the continent's strongest Spirit Masters, where they can gain even more benefits."
"And within the Spirit Master Association, a special type of fruit is cultivated—that is the Spirit Fruit," Zhuge Liuyun said.
"Spirit Realm? Master, how far is it from my Qingzhou?" Chu Feng asked urgently. He had some concept of Qingzhou, but the entire Nine Provinces Continent was still largely a mystery to him.
"Spirit Realm and Qingzhou are neighboring provinces. Although the journey isn't short, half a month is sufficient for a round trip," Zhuge Liuyun smiled, then asked Chu Feng, "You're really concerned about that Spirit Fruit, aren't you?"
"Of course I am. Didn't you say it improves barrier quality and mental power?" Chu Feng replied with a smile.
"Mm, that's right. But speaking of which, given your current mastery of barrier techniques, it's about time you took the test to obtain a white robe," Zhuge Liuyun said.
"A white robe? Like the one you're wearing, Master? What exactly is its use?" Chu Feng asked, pretending not to know.
"Haha, now that's something you don't understand. It's a symbol of a Spirit Master's status and strength. To gain this recognition, you must earn it with your own ability."
"Based on a Spirit Master's strength, their rank is divided into three types: white robes, gray robes, and blue robes."
"The white robe is the easiest to obtain. With the techniques you currently command, passing the test to become a white-robed Spirit Master shouldn't be difficult for you."
"Compared to the white robe, the gray robe is much harder to obtain. It has requirements regarding the essence of barrier power. Within all of Qingzhou, there are no more than two gray-robed Spirit Masters."
