Qiao Sang heard this and thought to herself that Shalala must be quite young.
Last night, she specifically looked up some information about Shalala again.
Illusion Beasts are born with some magical abilities, but not all Illusion Beasts can perfectly utilize their abilities right after birth. Illusion Beasts don't need to specifically seek out Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance themselves; they just need to live, live a long time, and their inherent abilities will become stronger.
If an Illusion Beast tries to forcibly use some of its abilities before fully growing, there will be side effects: it may fall into a deep sleep, revert back to an egg or cocoon form to await the next awakening, or even directly dissipate into the world.
Of course, the latter is quite serious, but the books do have historical records of such incidents.
In short, the longer an Illusion Beast lives, the stronger its inherent abilities become.
