Magical Beasts

Magical Beasts are beasts that are capable of cultivating. While some are tamed and domesticated, the majority of them live in forests and mountains. Magical beasts gather their cultivation base in a core which is located within the beast’s head. Their core looks like a gemstone, and it contains their essence and Qi. A beast’s core can be used in different medicinal recipes that can help increase one’s cultivation, or its strength can be extracted and used to enchant armor and weapons. There are quite a few ways they can be used by human cultivators, but they are never eaten. Rather, if one eats a core it will absorb all the Qi you have patiently cultivated.

Magical beasts of a certain cultivation are capable of changing into human form.

Strength
Magical beasts are split into the same levels of cultivation as humans; however, a human needs to have a much more refined Qi to be able to take on a beast of the same level, although they could win if they had good martial skills.
