Hence, due to the strained relationship between the two empires, the Feng Family and Ling Family were closer to each other, while the Xue Family and Yun Family were old family friends. The four great aristocratic families had been embroiled in conflicts both secretly and in the open for years. They had been openly and secretly fighting with one another for a few millenniums…

Naturally, there were also neutral powers, and they were the Beastmaster Clan and the Jewels Pavilion! As Beastmasters were few and far between, no empires and powers dared to offend them. Hence, the Beastmaster Clan had always maintained a neutral stance.

As for the Jewels Pavilion, it was because it had a mysterious owner that paid no heed to any powers from either empire! With the Jewels Pavilion's impressive capability and unique operation methods, it was able to rake in wealth arrogantly in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix! Because the Jewels Pavilion was the only power in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix operating in both empires…

Everything in the Jewels Pavilion were precious treasures. There were only things that one would not have thought of, but there was nothing that the Jewels Pavilion could not achieve. As long as one was able to offer enough money, one could find anything they wanted in the Jewels Pavilion…

The Land of the Dancing Phoenix was a martial world, where the stronger ones were superior. Everyone could cultivate, but apart from the abnormal ones who were born gifted, anyone else would somewhat require some resources for cultivation, such as elixirs and more.

Therefore, there was not a single soul who dared to offend the Jewels Pavilion. Not only that, with the Jewels Pavilion's impressive capability, even if one had the heart to go against them, it would only result in his death…

Nobody knew when it started, but over time, every auction house in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix were all taken over by the Jewels Pavilion. Now, Jewels Pavilion was the name of every auction house in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix…

The people in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix were all cultivators. In this world, anyone could cultivate the moment they were born. They cultivated by absorbing the Spiritual Energy essence present in the air, and the established term that they used to call this Spiritual Energy was Mystique Energy…

The different levels of Mystique Energy cultivation were Red Mystique, Orange Mystique, Yellow Mystique, Green Mystique, Cyan Mystique, Blue Mystique, Purple Mystique, Black Mystique, Earth Mystique, Heaven Mystique, Holy Mystique, and Divine Mystique…

The colors of Mystique Energy and their respective natures were red (fire nature), orange, yellow, green (wood nature), cyan (wind nature), blue (water, ice nature), purple (thunder nature), black (dark nature), brown (earth nature), white (light nature), pink, gold (metal nature) and more.

Normally, people possessed a nature as soon as they were born. They would undergo the Mystique Energy test when they turn five years old, and they would find out which nature they possessed.

Those that possessed two kinds of nature were already extremely gifted children… And those that possessed three kinds of nature were proclaimed as prodigies. When a child was tested to be a prodigy, it would be a cause for excitement for the entire household…

Meanwhile, those with more than three kinds of nature would be the abnormal ones. However, in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix, the most that anyone possessed was three kinds of nature. No one ever had more than three kinds of nature before, so everyone only thought of it as a legend…

The original Su Ruoxi was also tested when she was five but was found to have no natures at all. She was a good-for-nothing that was rarer than the legendary abnormal ones who possessed more than three kinds of nature! It was news that shocked the Heavenly Phoenix City then…

After all, although the Land of the Dancing Phoenix never had any abnormal ones with more than three natures, it was said that the abnormal ones still existed ten thousand years ago. However, a good-for-nothing seemed to have never existed, not even ten thousand years ago. One could easily tell which one was rarer…

Thinking of this, Su Ruoxi was speechless. She was indeed the one and only good-for-nothing!

Amongst the various natures, the fire nature was the most popular and also the rarest because the people in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix were mostly water and ice nature cultivators. However, no one knew why this was so…

The fire nature was popular because aside from becoming a cultivator, there were other special professions one could take up, such as being an alchemist, an artificer, a Beastmaster, and more…

And to become an alchemist, an artificer, a Beastmaster, and more, one would have to possess a large amount of Soul Power first. Aside from Beastmasters, alchemists and artificers would also have to possess Mystique Energy of fire nature…

The different levels of an alchemist were Alchemist Apprentice, Alchemist Expert, Alchemist Monarch, Alchemist Grandmaster, Alchemist Sage, and Alchemist Deity. Each level was then further separated into Beginner Level, Intermediate Level, Advanced Level, and Peak Level.

The different levels of an artificer were Beginner Artificer, Intermediate Artificer, Advanced Artificer, Artificer Grandmaster, Artificer Sage, and Artificer Deity. Each level was then further separated into Beginner Level, Intermediate Level, Advanced Level, and Peak Level.

Meanwhile, the magical beasts in this world—also termed Spiritual Beasts—were different from animals in the modern world. The beasts here could cultivate as well.

The different levels of magical beasts were Spiritual Beast, Holy Beast, and Divine Beast. Each level was then further separated into Level 1 to Level 9.

Spiritual Beasts of Level Five and above possessed some level of spiritual intelligence and knew how to shun away from powerful enemies and risks. Spiritual Beasts that managed to cultivate into Holy Beasts could converse in human language, and those that managed to cultivate into Divine Beasts were able to possess a human appearance…

The different levels of a Beastmaster were Beginner Beastmaster, Intermediate Beastmaster, Advanced Beastmaster, Grand Beastmaster, Beastmaster Sage, and Beastmaster Deity. Each level was then further separated into Beginner Level, Intermediate Level, Advanced Level, and Peak Level.

Regardless of which profession, be it an alchemist, an artificer, or a Beastmaster, they were all formidable professions in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix. Even a powerful cultivator would not dare to offend anyone in these three professions…

Because who wouldn't need some elixirs or some pills, and who wouldn't want some good weapons and some powerful contracted beasts? Hence, any powerful person would rather get on the bad side of a hundred mighty enemies than to get on the bad side of an alchemist, an artificer, or a Beastmaster…

Therefore, in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix, as long as one was in any of those three professions, they would receive preferential treatment anywhere they went. It was awesome for people in these professions…

However, it was also not easy to be in such impressive professions. Most of the time, only one out of ten thousand people could be an alchemist, an artificer, or a Beastmaster. They were certainly very rare…

Especially Beastmasters. To become a Beastmaster, even though one did not need to have a special cultivation nature, they had to possess a large amount of Soul Power! Otherwise, they would be at risk of suffering backlashes from the Spiritual Beasts in the process of taming them. In minor cases, one might be severely injured, while in serious cases, one might turn into an idiot instantly…

And Soul Power was innate; it was nearly impossible for one to increase their Soul Power after birth! As a result, amongst the three guilds, the number of Beastmasters was the least, but their status was not the lowest…

As for alchemists and artificers, on top of the basics of possessing a certain level of Soul Power, one also had to possess Mystique Energy of fire nature as well. Hence, as the two guilds had to compete with each other to seize talents every year, their relationship was always strained…

The currencies in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix were silver, gold, and Mystique Stones. Other than being used as a form of currency, Mystique Stones could also be used for cultivation. It was one of the common resources for cultivation in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix… The exchange rates were 100 silver = 1 gold, 100 gold = 1 inferior-grade Mystique Stone, 100 inferior-grade Mystique Stones = 1 middle-grade Mystique Stone, 100 middle-grade Mystique Stones = 1 superior-grade Mystique Stone, and 100 superior-grade Mystique Stones = 1 supreme-grade Mystique Stone. And the annual living expenses of common folk were just 100 to 600 gold…
