Of course, this Beast Armor Secret Art also has many drawbacks.
First and foremost, once the spiritual beast is refined into beast armor, it can no longer absorb spiritual energy from the outside world and must rely entirely on draining the master's mana to sustain its own existence and strength.
Generally, cultivators place great importance on their own cultivation and already feel their mana is insufficient, so who would willingly share their mana with a mere spiritual beast for the sake of a technique?
Secondly, the selection process for the spiritual beasts is extremely strict. It must begin from when they are young beasts, and throughout the ritual, the young beast must not resist, only then is there a possibility for successful refinement.
