Chapter 219: Innate Advancement: Home of Ten Thousand Spirits! Returning to Linzhou!
Chapter 219: Innate Advancement: Home of Ten Thousand Spirits! Returning to Linzhou!
Su Ping waved goodbye to Qin Xiaoxue, who was waving enthusiastically. He then boarded Sang Sheng's private jet, the 'Ascending Cloud'.
On the return trip, there was one additional person compared to the journey there.
The presence of Master Zhu Hong made both Liu Fuhai and Sun Chao Ju feel less at ease than they did when they first arrived.
At this moment, Su Ping didn't pay attention to their thoughts.
He looked at the messages that Su An Yong had sent from last night until early this morning.
The last message, filled with resentment, read, "You just wait, old man!"
Su Ping was speechless.
He then sent a message, but unfortunately, it clearly displayed:
【Message sending failed. This user is not your friend. Please add as a friend.】
Su Ping then made a phone call, but in the end, he received a similar response:
"Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."
His number has been blocked?
Is it necessary?
Su Ping helplessly shook his head, wondering why this old man was becoming less and less tolerant of jokes as he aged.
Moreover, he didn't intentionally make fun of this old man; he was just too tired and fell asleep, right?
He didn't even have time to consume the 'Heart Fruit' before falling asleep; how could he be blamed for that?
Oh well, Su Ping didn't bother to pay attention to this old man's antics. The three of them felt slightly embarrassed, and Su Ping directly asked:
"Master Zhu Hong, I heard Sang Sheng mention that you once cultivated a Super Rank Skill, the Element's Heart, on a Companion Beast?"
Upon hearing these words, Sun Chao Ju and Liu Fuhai perked up their ears.
Master Zhu Hong nodded and smiled, saying:
"That's right, but it was only the basic Five Elements Heart. It didn't involve deeper elemental energies like Wind, Thunder, or Ice and their respective attributes."
"That's still very impressive. Regarding this aspect, I'd like to seek your guidance on it!"
Su Ping said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Master Zhu Hong shook his head:
"In fact, it seems like it was indeed my accomplishment, but in reality, it was mainly because that Companion Beast was special. Without that special Companion Beast, achieving such success wouldn't have been so smooth."
Liu Fuhai, who was standing beside them, finally had a chance to speak:
"Master Zhu Hong, what kind of Companion Beast can withstand so many elemental attribute changes?"
Su Ping became interested.
If he could thoroughly research this Companion Beast that could accommodate multiple attributes, it would significantly enhance the development of the Five Elements Origami!
Moreover, Su Ping was still confident in his abilities.
He still had a favor to ask of Lord Leng, and he hadn't decided on the Holy Spirit Rank resources for the Beastmaster Competition. If he were to exchange this Companion Beast, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
In short, Su Ping's current mindset could be summed up in one phrase: Money is not a problem!
Master Zhu Hong glanced at him, then at Su Ping's equally curious and expectant gaze, and decided not to hide anything. He directly opened his mouth and said:
"There's nothing to hide here. This Companion Beast is none other than the Holy Dragon currently owned by Lord Holy Dragon.
Ordinary dragons like the Red Dragon can evolve into Holy Spirit Rank Fire Dragons. After evolving to the Holy Spirit Rank, this type of Dragonkin still has a special evolutionary direction, which is to integrate multiple elements into one. Its rank will also reach the legendary Multi-Element Dragon, known as the Holy Dragon.
Back then, I cultivated the Element's Heart on that Holy Dragon."
Su Ping: "..."
Liu Fuhai: "..."
Sun Chao Ju: "..."
Indeed, he's a real scumbag.
Su Ping nodded and said, "I understand."
Dragons are one of the most powerful Companion Beasts, even among those of the same rank. Su Ping currently wouldn't dare to try to obtain even the lowest rank of purebred dragons.
Moreover, these dragons are said to be very delicate and challenging to raise well.
Su Ping, who sought to acquire a vast number of Companion Beasts, was only interested in dragons for the reward of lighting up the first level of the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits.
As for other thoughts, he had considered them before. For example, the 'Dragon's Heart' that had once appeared in Su Ping's dream when he thought about cultivating the Wood of the Heart of Wood.
Unfortunately, for now, it seemed that this could only be realized in his dreams.
However, Master Zhu Hong, who was standing before them, continued speaking after a brief pause:
"Speaking of which, this year's Beastmaster Competition has some interesting aspects. In recent years, the young dragons born in our Dragonkin have been quite remarkable. The Spirit Beast Tamer Association originally planned to offer a young dragon as the first-place reward in the competition. Furthermore, this young dragon is an extremely rare one, making it a valuable reward.
Unfortunately, they suddenly changed their minds and decided to offer this precious young dragon as a reward for the Professional Assessment Competition held this summer instead.
As a result, they had no choice but to temporarily replace the young dragon with the Heart Fruit as the first-place reward.
Dragonkin Youngling?!
Sun Chaoju and the teacher exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
The authorities had originally intended to use this as a reward?
After all, Dragon Masters are among the most envied groups of Beastmasters in Dragon Nation.
Dragon Nation has strict limits on the number of dragons.
Only those with special status and power are qualified to receive Dragon Nation's dragon pets as rewards.
Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't even have the chance to touch them.
Unexpectedly, this year's Breeding Competition almost used a dragon pet as a reward, and according to Master Zhu Hong, this might not be an ordinary dragon pet?
Su Ping showed interest, "Master Zhu, what kind of dragon pet is this? Does it belong to the Divine Dragon clan or the Crystal Dragon clan?"
Dragon pets are divided into two types: the Eastern dragons with antler-like horns, camel-like heads, rabbit-like eyes, snake-like necks, turtle-like bellies, fish-like scales, eagle-like claws, tiger-like palms, and cow-like ears. These are the Divine Dragon clan.
The traditional Western image of dragons, with long wings, are also part of the dragon clan, but they belong to the Crystal Dragon clan.
On Blue Star, both types exist, but the Divine Dragon clan is relatively rarer.
In terms of power, each has its strengths.
Master Zhu Hong smiled slightly, "It's from the Crystal Dragon clan."
"Hmm?" Su Ping was taken aback, "Crystal Dragon? What's that?"
Master Zhu Hong saw the surprise in the others' eyes and even the ever-smiling Teacher Qin couldn't help but be surprised as well.
"Well, although it's from the Crystal Dragon clan, it's an extremely rare and precious Crystal Dragon!"
"Huh?" Su Ping was puzzled, "A Crystal Dragon? What does that mean?"
Master Zhu Hong didn't hold back any secrets and explained,
"The upper limit of dragon pets is usually the Emperor Rank, and without achieving pure elemental evolution, they are all flesh and blood, like the Red Dragon with its fire, the White Dragon with its ice, the Blue Dragon with its water, and the Crystal Dragon with its space."
"Hiss! A space-attributed dragon pet?!"
Sun Chaoju exclaimed in surprise.
The other two, although not as startled, also widened their eyes in shock!
"Well, unfortunately, this thing was supposed to be a reward for the mid-year professional competition, and the authorities did have their reasons. The Breeding Competition here doesn't involve many young and promising Beastmasters, so it's reasonable to give this rare opportunity to the rising stars of the Beastmaster world."
What a pity.
Although Su Ping didn't have a strong feeling about the Crystal Dragon clan, he couldn't deny the allure of a space-attributed dragon.
Such a thing, if it's free, why not take it?
Shaking his head, Su Ping quickly composed himself.
Master Zhu Hong also noticed the others' disappointment and smiled,
"Well, although this thing might not be very useful for Beastmasters, compared to some high-level resources, it's likely incomparable."
Su Ping's mind stirred, and the Heart Fruit appeared in his hand.
Looking at the flower on it, Su Ping asked, "Can I just eat this directly?"
Master Zhu Hong nodded,
"Yes, after consuming it, use your mental power to sense it. For Beastmasters, this is an extremely rare experience!"
The flawless version is available on 69+ Book Bar! 6=9+ Book_Bar is the first to publish this novel.
Su Ping glanced at the others, and Liu Fuhai and the rest understood.
"Just right, Su Ping, you've been in Linzhou for a while, and you probably haven't had a good rest. Go ahead and use it, and take this time to rest well!"
Su Ping didn't want to waste time, and after nodding, he followed Teacher Qin to the resting area of the Ascending Cloud. Then, he swallowed the Heart Fruit into his mouth.
It had no taste, but once it entered his mouth, it quickly became extremely soft, like a tasteless chewing gum.
Then, it was swallowed into his stomach.
The next second, a rendering feeling emerged from his vision.
This moment's feeling was so special that Su Ping couldn't even describe it clearly.
The entire world seemed to become extremely heavy the moment it was swallowed.
Like the bottomless depths of the ocean.
(Chapter End)
In the depths of his mind, Su Ping felt a sense of drowning, but the next moment, that feeling of oppression lifted, as if he had been pulled out of the deep sea.
However, this 'drowning' sensation was not physical, Su Ping knew it was a struggle of his mental power.
After consuming the Heart Fruit, this mental struggle gradually faded away.
In its place, he felt a sense of liberation, as if he had been pulled out of the deep sea.
Su Ping had never experienced such a feeling before.
If he had to describe it, it was somewhat similar to when he advanced to the Elite Rank, but not as profound.
In the spiritual world, everything seemed like a dream, a void filled with endless darkness and light, forming a chaotic realm.
At the same moment, within his spirit, something seemed to be absorbing this chaos.
Amidst the haze, Su Ping sensed a change.
However, this change was difficult to explain clearly.
The change represented the true potential of his soul, the innate talent of the Companion Beast Home, seemed to be slowly transforming.
Simultaneously, within the Beastmaster Space, the most representative space for Beastmasters, under Su Ping's peculiar state of slumber, changes were occurring that even he had not anticipated.
Su Ping's Beastmaster Space began to burst with a unique vitality.
Su Ping's talent, in itself, seemed to directly affect the Beastmaster Space, and its special talent ability had a similar effect to the space characteristics that emerged with the Beastmaster's advancement.
However, the Companion Beast Home's talent, which acted upon other companion beasts entering the space, was somewhat different from the talent that directly altered the ecological conditions within the Beastmaster Space.
Therefore, it could be considered a talent, but with some reservations.
After consuming the Heart Fruit, the Companion Beast Home's talent seemed to be elevated at this moment, causing Su Ping's Beastmaster Space to exhibit even more phenomena that ordinary people would not comprehend.
Nevertheless, Su Ping was unaware of this at the time.
The hazy chaotic world gradually became clearer.
His abundant mental power, through sedimentation, slowly condensed once more.
Su Ping's subconscious began to recover, and his self-awareness became precise again.
Even though his consciousness was still detached from his mental power, it had already fully responded.
Unknowingly, his cultivation had reached the true peak of the Elite Rank! Moreover, Su Ping could also sense that this Elite Peak was just a step away from the Overlord Rank.
But this was not the most important thing.
Su Ping's attention was not focused on this aspect.
At this very moment, within his spiritual world, in the midst of the chaotic haze, he used his not-yet-fully-recovered mental power to observe an extremely bizarre object.
It seemed like a snake?
No!
It wasn't a snake, but something snake-like, hazy, and his mental perception wasn't entirely clear.
Although it seemed to have a serpentine tail, Su Ping's perception seemed to reveal a human head and arms?
It even had tightly closed eyes, a total of six pairs.
Somewhat similar to the mythical Nuwa? Su Ping even suspected that he might be hallucinating.
It was indeed possible, as mental perception itself was such an elusive thing.
It could be a projection from his heart, and his random thoughts might also be possible.
Moreover, the appearance of that thing lasted only for a fleeting moment, so it was quite possible that it was just his illusion.
Shaking his head, Su Ping's consciousness revived from the body lying on the sofa.
Instinctively, he perceived himself with his mental power.
Indeed, Elite Tenth Stage! However, there was no doubt that this advancement in rank was merely an insignificant side effect.
What truly lifted Su Ping's spirits was the change in his innate talent, and as his mental power concentrated, the original Companion Beast Home talent appeared in his heart, but at this very moment, from its name to its ability, everything had undergone specific changes:
【Home of Ten Thousand Spirits: Beastmaster Space significantly enhanced! In the future, each Beastmaster Space enhancement effect will be strengthened! Beastmaster's spiritual conversion efficiency increased! All Beastmaster Space characteristics effects enhanced!
All companion beasts, after their own non-resistance, can be gathered and enter the Beastmaster Space, with a restriction not exceeding two major cultivation levels above the Beastmaster! Companion beasts entering the Beastmaster Space will, to a certain extent, be unable to resist the Beastmaster's commands!】
