Chapter 238: Su Ping's Achievements Shocked Sang Sheng!

Chapter 238: Su Ping's Achievements Shocked Sang Sheng!

With the further enhancement of the Elemental Cycle, the trio was overjoyed with their progress.

Although there was a slight hiccup, it was not a big deal.

Su Ping asked Old Guan to help clean up, and then took out a small courtyard to rearrange the origami figures.

Undoubtedly, after this unexpected event, Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai became even more excited!

After completing the research on the Elemental Cores, Su Ping had previously mentioned that the next step in the advanced breeding of the origami figures would be left to him and Old Liu.

Let Master Zhu Hong focus on his own tasks.

After all, Master Zhu Hong's Yellow Dragon evolution was a significant matter. However, Zhu Hong waved his hand dismissively, showing no concern.

Old Liu and Su Ping devoted all their attention to the further breeding and evolution of the origami figures.

On the other hand, Su Ping was extremely curious about this Yellow Dragon.

Zhu Hong was not stingy at all, and after summoning the Yellow Dragon named Big Yellow, he accompanied Su Ping to play every day.

Hmm, as long as it doesn't interfere with his research on the origami figures.

As for the Yellow Dragon? He's not really familiar with it.

What does it feel like to be a Dragon Master? Su Ping gained some experience.

Especially for the Eastern-style Divine Dragon clan, it was even more so.

Although the Yellow Dragon, being an Earth Element dragon, couldn't fly or ascend quickly, as a dragon pet, flying was an innate ability. So, it could still carry Su Ping for low-altitude flights.

And what kind of status does a Dragon Master hold? Su Ping had gained further insight into this in recent days.

The fact that the country is named after the dragon is enough proof of the dragon's status.

Moreover, the power of the dragon is undoubtedly unquestionable.

In the past few days, many people had witnessed the renowned Su Breeder from the Wood Heart Breeding Base, riding the massive Yellow Dragon with scales resembling carved rocks, flying low over the Wood Heart and the southern mountains, and even the land purchased by Su Ping, like a playful husky.

They were having a blast.

Who wouldn't be envious?

Who wouldn't want to touch a real dragon? Therefore, everyone could understand Su Ping's feelings.

However, at this moment, Su Ping's thoughts were indeed different from what most people would expect.

While curiosity and closeness to the dragon were one aspect, Su Ping was mainly thinking about how to build a closer relationship with this Yellow Dragon and unlock the Dragon Ledger!

The Dragon Ledger!

Although in the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger, the rewards might not necessarily be based on the strength of the pets.

But no matter what, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if not seized, would be a missed chance for Su Ping.

As for the subsequent breeding of the origami figures?

Those two were eager to help, so Su Ping could only reluctantly assist Master Zhu Hong in taking care of Big Yellow.

Unfortunately, despite having Master Zhu Hong's orders, Big Yellow was extremely obedient to Su Ping. However, in the past few days, it didn't seem like it would meet the required standards, leaving Su Ping puzzled about how to serve Big Yellow well.

Patting its dragon butt and such.

But Su Ping didn't know how to gain the Yellow Dragon's recognition, and Big Yellow also didn't understand what its master was thinking, insisting on having Su Ping accompany it to play. Both the dragon and Su Ping had their own worries, but during this time, they were having a blast.

It wasn't anything else, but the Dragon Pattern Bamboo in the Wood Heart.

This thing was quite an inconspicuous plant in the botanical garden.

However, when mentioning its growth environment, it shamelessly requested dragon blood irrigation, and after being disciplined by all the Sovereign-rank plant pets that came, it became well-behaved.

And after the Yellow Dragon appeared, the Dragon Pattern Bamboo became excited.

It even ventured out of the dragon-shaped bamboo forest designated for it, and whenever Su Ping brought Big Yellow to the Wood Heart, this little guy would approach them like an ancient brothel madam, licking up to them.

Its behavior was embarrassingly sycophantic.

C

And then look at this thing.

But surprisingly, its sycophancy had its reasons. In the past few days, this little guy, who had been hovering around Su Ping and Big Yellow, had unexpectedly advanced from the Sovereign Sixth Rank to the Sovereign Seventh Rank, shocking Su Ping.

It was named after the dragon, and as a dragon-type pet, it had an innate attraction to dragons. Now it seems that this attraction was indeed justified, and the effect was immediate.

After witnessing the embarrassing promotion of the Dragon Pattern Bamboo, Su Ping even considered trying to extract a drop of dragon blood for it.

Unfortunately, dragon blood was precious, and it had become an Emperor-rank rare resource material. Su Ping couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, it wasn't that important, and the Dragon Pattern Bamboo wasn't particularly appealing to him.

He rode the dragon and surveyed his Wood Heart from a low altitude, then headed towards the Hundred Birds Paulownia tree. The mutated Fire Crow had flown away a couple of days ago.

Obviously, the Fire Crow still had doubts about Su Ping's promise.

What was it fighting against?

Su Ping was genuinely worried.

Would that little crow, skilled in combat, die in some corner during such a fierce battle?

In the wild, where only the fittest survive, this was a real possibility.

However, worrying wouldn't help. Wild companion beasts like that mutated Fire Eating Crow, which knew gratitude, were already quite rare.

Looking at the sloping hill before him, Su Ping fell into deep thought.

This hill wasn't particularly high, barely reaching two hundred meters.

The Hundred Birds Paulownia tree was located on a lateral slope of this small hill, extending out like a Buddha's hand, suspended above the mountain range.

The Hundred Birds Paulownia was like a divine tree growing on this Buddha's hand.

In the entire botanical garden, the Hundred Birds Paulownia was one of the companion beasts Su Ping valued most, perhaps the one he valued the most.

The Hundred Birds Paulownia could serve as a resource base for breeding bird-type companion beasts.

However, this area was too small, only about three to five hundred square meters. The bare Buddha's hand slope had only one Hundred Birds Paulownia tree, which didn't meet Su Ping's requirements.

Shaking his head, he realized he was overthinking it. The breeding in the botanical garden hadn't officially started yet. In the future, the Peach Blossom, Paulownia, and Sky Climbing Vine would be his main focuses.

These three were special. One was a plant-type companion beast, currently quite popular, and also Su Ping's favorite plant companion beast.

The Hundred Birds Paulownia needed no explanation.

As for the Sky Climbing Vine, it was purely because this little guy was a model worker, circling the boundary of the Wood Heart, constantly guarding the safety of the Forest Core and Wood Heart.

As for the others, there was no rush.

Just as he was thinking, Su Ping's phone rang suddenly.

It was none other than Dong Muchun.

"Hello? What can I do for you, Miss Dong?"

"Dong Muxuan is back, and he's brought a classmate from the Metropolis Academy whom you know. Are you busy now? If not, I'll bring them to you!"

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"Come on over, I'm free. But why is your brother looking for me?"

"Tsk, that's what you think. Can't he just want to chat and learn from you? Didn't you ask me about spatial attribute companion beasts the other day? Dong Muxuan is only at the Sovereign Rank, but his master, Hunter of the Void King, is one of the top Imperial Rank spatial attribute Beastmasters in the Dragon Nation. He has an extraordinary understanding of spatial attributes, so you can talk to him about it."

Dong Muchun's voice came through the phone.

Su Ping's eyes lit up. He had indeed asked before, because in his mind, if the future Wood Heart had a large range, it would be too troublesome to move between different locations. Instant teleportation would be much more convenient.

However, he knew very little about spatial attributes.

The current Su Ping wasn't ignorant anymore. He knew that the Dong family had originally started with spatial attributes.

Jing Kong represented the Jing Sheng Clan and the spatial attribute.

Although the Dong family was now declining, it was still a family with over a hundred years of heritage.

Thinking about this, Su Ping said:

"Alright, come over now."

...

Meanwhile, in the city center of Linzhou.

In the sky above the Beastmaster Association's building.

A shadowy figure, hidden in the clouds, appeared out of nowhere.

The Tengyun Number appeared from the clouds and slowly descended.

It finally landed on the helipad atop the Beastmaster Association building.

The cabin door opened, and three figures stepped out.

It was none other than Sage Sang, her granddaughter Qin Xiaoxue, and the driver, Aunt Qin.

After they stepped out, Aunt Qin put the Tengyun Number into the Beast Space.

Qin Er Long looked at his wife, whom he hadn't seen for a year, and smiled: "You're back?"

The woman nodded: "Linzhou is still the same!"

"Could it have changed? But there will be some major developments next year when the Linzhou Advanced Beastmaster Academy is built in the eastern and western suburbs," Qin Er Long smiled.

Mentioning this, Sage Sang's expression changed slightly.

She wasn't concerned about losing power due to the establishment of academies across the nation.

In fact, anyone could see that Sage Sang's current position as the Dean of the Metropolis Academy was just a temporary one.

She was merely there to oversee the educational reform in the nation.

After a year, once everything was settled, Sage Sang would definitely be promoted.

Therefore, she had no objections to the establishment of advanced academies across the nation.

What slightly disturbed her was the young man in Linzhou: "If the Linzhou Academy is established, will Su Ping go?"

Qin Er Long glared: "Why would he go? There are so many talented Beastmasters at the Metropolis Academy, and he's already broken a record. Once the admission requirements for advanced academies are relaxed, who knows how many issues he'll cause? What if he demoralizes the other Beastmasters?"

H

I am asking him to give a lecture when he's free, and it will also add some hype to Linzhou's prestigious academic institution."

"This..."

Old Qin scratched his head.

It seemed to make sense, but he shook his head:

"Forget it, I can't handle this. Let's let that kid decide for himself when the time comes."

Old Qin led his wife and granddaughter to the office.

Sage Sang turned his head:

"Where's Master Zhu Hong? Isn't he looking for your help with the Earth Dragon's breeding evolution during this time?"

If it wasn't mentioned, it would be fine, but when Qin Erlong brought it up, he shook his head speechlessly: "Where else could he be? During this time, Master Zhu and Old Liu have been obsessed, and they almost got into trouble a couple of days ago."

Sage Sang's eyebrows furrowed: "What happened?"

"It's that Su Ping, that stinky kid. I don't know what kind of love potion he gave these two guys, but now they're all at that kid's base, day after day, without even time to find someone to drink tea or fish."

Just a couple of days ago, I don't know how, but it directly exploded, almost burying the three of them underground. Even so, the three of them came out all smiles."

"Ah? Is Su Ping okay? Smiling? Could he have been blown silly?" Qin Xiaoxue's face suddenly tensed up.

Sage Sang gave his granddaughter a sideways glance, slightly frowning: "What's that stinky kid up to now?"

Qin Erlong thought for a moment, and didn't hide anything:

"It's said to be the new research of the Origami Man, involving a new direction of research for a supreme skill, and it was originally an opportunity and treasure obtained in the Metropolis. Do you know about this?"

"Hmm?"

Sage Sang blinked as well.

When did this happen? How come she didn't know about it?

During Su Ping's time in the Metropolis, he had been under her watchful eye the entire time, and indeed, this kid had caused quite a stir, but she hadn't heard anything about this.

She did know about the Origami Man, but wasn't that the Origami Man's new evolution? What does it have to do with supreme skills?

Moreover, it had been less than a month since this little guy returned from the Metropolis after the New Year. Could there be any changes in just a month?

At this point, Qin Erlong thought for a moment and said:

"Oh, by the way, this kid specifically asked me about your exact return date a few days ago, saying that he had prepared an extremely special gift for you and Xiaoxue, and it was so mysterious, I don't know what he's up to."

At this moment, Sage Sang also became interested:

"Before, you kept telling me that the place that kid was working on was so colorful, so I'll go and stay there for a few days too, so that our girl doesn't have to run back and forth."

The woman smiled and glanced at Qin Xiaoxue, who was a little embarrassed.

However, the latter didn't say anything, and that guy Su Ping said that the Wood Core was very different from the summer vacation, so Miss Qin also wanted to go and take a look.

As they drove from the bustling city to the slightly desolate outskirts, Qin Xiaoxue noticed that compared to the summer vacation, there were indeed more people coming and going here.

In the distance, the Wood Core came into view, and compared to the previous deserted scene, the vehicles coming and going were already beyond comparison.

Qin Xiaoxue frowned as she looked at the former Yun Tian Pet Resort, which had now become the 'Yun Xin' signboard. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She had heard that Su Ping and Dong Muchun had some business cooperation, and that woman was indeed very smart.

But as soon as they arrived at the entrance, Qin Xiaoxue was stunned. At that moment, she saw a familiar figure at the entrance, and if it wasn't Su Ping, who else could it be?

However, in addition to Su Ping, there were three other very familiar figures beside him.

Dong Muchun, whom she had no contact with, but had seen a few times at Yun Tian Resort, was there, which was normal.

However, the other two people were completely unexpected to Qin Xiaoxue.

It was understandable for Dong Muxuan to be there, but why was Ye Zhou there?

This guy was one of the few people Qin Xiaoxue recognized from the Metropolis Academy.

Time Attribute breeding was the most difficult, and this guy's talent was unimaginable, even to the point that some people thought he wasn't necessarily worse than Su Ping.

The question was, how did he get involved with Su Ping? What was their relationship?

Qin Xiaoxue didn't understand.

And Miss Qin's temperament had always been straightforward.

So, Qin Xiaoxue directly rolled down the window and shouted to the figures on the other side:

"What are you doing?"

Sage Sang looked at her granddaughter speechlessly, but at this time, she told Aunt Qin: "Let's stop here."

The car slowly came to a stop, and several people got out.

Su Ping thought he was hearing things at first.

But after seeing Miss Qin's figure, he realized that since Ye Zhou and Dong Muxuan had already started their vacation from the Metropolis Academy, Miss Qin should also be on vacation.

Su Ping ignored Qin Xiaoxue's greeting and quickly walked towards Sage Sang with a faint smile:

"Senior Sage Sang!"

"Greetings, Dean!"

"Greetings, Dean!"

"Greetings, Sage Sang!"

Several distinct voices sounded.

Sage Sang merely smiled and nodded at the two students from the Beastmaster Academy of Metropolis. Then, she glanced at Dong Muchun:

"The Dong family has produced two outstanding talents in this generation."

Dong Muchun smiled gracefully, "Thank you for your praise, Elder Sang. Muchun and Muxuan are undeserving of such high praise."

Sage Sang smiled without responding further and turned her attention to Su Ping, "Xiao Ping, I heard from Old Qin that you've prepared a gift for me and Xiaoxue, right? I hope Old Qin isn't pulling my leg."

Su Ping inwardly scorned Qin Xiaoxue, who couldn't keep a secret after getting married. Nonetheless, he managed a radiant smile, "Of course not. I won't disappoint you and Snow Sister."

Qin Xiaoxue, accustomed to Su Ping's way of addressing her, eagerly looked at him, "Come on, let me see what it is."

Dong Muchun, standing nearby, promptly took the initiative, "Since that's the case, I'll take Muxuan and Ye around the Heart of Wood."

Su Ping nodded, knowing that no one could compare to Sage Sang at this moment.

After Dong Muchun and the others left, Sage Sang finally spoke, "I heard Master Zhu Hong is still at the Heart of Wood. What have you all been researching these days?"

"It's the research I mentioned earlier about origami creatures, but we've made new breakthroughs. Master Zhu's arrival was timely, and I've learned a lot from him."

Indeed, she had learned a lot.

The Five Elements Hearts of the origami creatures, corresponding to the Element Hearts, were Su Ping's greatest gains.

"As long as there are results, that's good. I heard it's a brand new Supreme Skill?"

Sage Sang had heard about it before.

It was a brand new direction for Supreme Skills.

Although she didn't have much interest in learning more about origami creatures, her lack of interest didn't mean the Dragon Nation felt the same.

Origami creatures, known as the shame of the Necromancy Attribute, were synonymous with weakness and commonness.

Usually, such a reputation came with affordability and widespread availability.

In this case, enhancing the strength of the vast base of Beastmasters in the Dragon Nation would, in turn, boost the nation's overall power.

What did this signify? It was self-evident.

As a Saint-level Beastmaster of the Dragon Nation, if possible, she wouldn't mind learning more.

However, previously, the origami creatures hadn't been fully disclosed, and only Su Ping knew about them. Sage Sang didn't want to overstep, but now that this little guy had revealed the secret of origami creatures to Liu Zhu, her curiosity was understandable.

Su Ping, unaware of Sage Sang's change in attitude, nodded nonchalantly, "Of course. I'll have Old Liu come over to demonstrate and explain it to you. You'll understand once you try it."

In the living room of his residence, Su Ping retrieved two items from a locked drawer in a nearby cabinet.

Upon seeing these items, both Sage Sang and Qin Xiaoxue stood frozen in place.

They exchanged glances.

What on earth was this?

A metal-textured helmet with a distinct cyberpunk vibe?

No matter how exaggerated its design, it was still a helmet!

What could a helmet possibly do? Despite this, it was evident that Su Ping had put considerable thought into it.

Sage Sang's helmet had a lush green texture, while Qin Xiaoxue's was adorned with metal snowflakes.

"Su Ping, what is this?"

Su Ping scratched his head and cleared his throat, "Remember the meditation idea Elder Sang gave me before? This is a product of combining that idea with research on my Companion Beast. It's designed for entertainment and meditation, and you'll understand once you try it."

Hmm?

This time, Sage Sang was genuinely intrigued. She examined the helmet with curiosity.

The effect of meditation?

Combining entertainment and meditation?

What kind of effect could it be?

"How do you use this?"

Qin Xiaoxue, standing nearby, had already put on the helmet and was nodding her head, exploring the controls.

"Connect the power source, don't resist the internal release of spiritual frequency resonance, focus on the lit-up pattern, and you'll automatically log in and create an account. Then, follow the beginner's guide to hunt and level up..."

"Alright, alright, no spoilers. I want to explore it myself..."

Qin Xiaoxue removed the helmet, plugged it into the power source, and immediately laid down on the sofa, putting the helmet back on.

Sage Sang blinked, thought for a moment, and then, under Su Ping's expectant gaze, put on the helmet.

Although she didn't believe for a second that this helmet could have any meditation effects, Sage Sang, being a Saint-level Beastmaster, understood the value of meditation.

Once Beastmasters reached the peak of the Commander Rank and broke through to the Monarch Rank, the speed of their spiritual energy accumulation would significantly slow down.

Even resources that previously enhanced spiritual attributes would have a diminished effect on human Beastmasters.

The only constant was meditation and meditation ideas.

Therefore, the improvement of meditation was often considered less effective than resources for spiritual attributes, yet its value remained a mystery.

The reason was simple: the practice of meditation was a personal journey of power enhancement.

In this situation, the value of meditation techniques becomes even more precious in the eyes of Beastmasters, especially those of higher cultivation realms.

Previously, Su Ping never revealed to Master Zhu Hong, Liu Fuhai, and Qin Erlong that he had developed a meditation technique that was more efficient than ordinary methods. However, in reality, no one would be uninterested in such a technique.)



For this very reason, Su Ping claimed to have developed a Supreme Skill in such a short time, and Sage Sang believed him.

However, if she were told it was a meditation technique, she would never believe it.

With this skepticism, Sage Sang hesitantly put on the helmet.

As the power connected, a voice sounded from within the helmet:

"Ding~ Welcome to the Dream Heart world. Please do not resist the release of spiritual energy resonance..."

"Ding~ Spiritual resonance connection successful. Your exclusive spiritual energy does not have an account. Please choose to create a virtual character or scan your own state to enter the Dream Heart?"

"Create a virtual character, you will create an arbitrary role, scan your own role, and create a role based on your spiritual energy level."

Sage Sang only felt her spiritual energy entering another hazy world, and with her Saint-level spiritual perception, she immediately sensed a special spiritual matrix world.

Interesting.

She smiled inwardly and locked her spiritual energy on the second option:

"Scan my own state to enter!"

"Scanning... Please wait... Zizi... Zizi... Scanning failed, unable to scan your specific spiritual information, and has automatically chosen to create a new virtual character for you."

Listening to the helmet's voice, Sage Sang was slightly startled but couldn't help but smile.

She casually created a character and entered the game.

Then, she still chose the Beastmaster profession.

At the same time, the Companion Beasts available this time were dozens more than the initial selection.

Sage Sang directly chose the Plant Attribute and her initial Plant Attribute Companion Beast, the Cold Autumn Mulberry Tree.

"New Adventurer, welcome to the Dream Continent..."

While experiencing the authenticity of her actions, Sage Sang also developed a little interest in this peculiar game world.

After about ten minutes of the beginner tutorial,

Finally, she arrived at the climax she had been eagerly anticipating.

"New Adventurer: Ah Sang, you have mastered the power of controlling Companion Beasts. I believe that in the Dream Continent, you will become a renowned powerhouse. Since it's like this, let's begin our first adventure! Adventures can obtain material to sell for coins, and you can also drop some precious materials to enhance your equipment, Companion Beasts, and coins to purchase other materials, learn skills, and more. These are all indispensable things on your adventure path!"

"Go, find Instructor Xiao, accept the task from her, and then go to Bobo's side. Use the lost spatial skill, obtain the Return Stone, and embark on the adventure!"

After accepting the task, she arrived at the so-called Bobo's place.

Sage Sang felt the long-lost joy and, with the latter's wings flapping, her figure disappeared into the air and reappeared in front of her eyes, already in another place.

'The matrix code has changed, but why is it so real? It's because of that spiritual frequency. The key to meditation techniques is spiritual resonance, so it can be explained clearly.'

While Sage Sang was thinking, she looked at the electronic monsters that had awakened and expressed displeasure at her arrival.

"Wood, use the Cold Autumn Branch!"

At this moment, commanding the Cold Autumn Mulberry Tree, Sage Sang felt like she had returned to her younger days. Although she knew it was fake, it was still quite interesting.

As the initial adventure's monsters and enemies, their levels were naturally not too high.

The difficulty was also not too great.

In a short time, Sage Sang resolved them.

After defeating them, streams of light points merged into her body.

Then, something that surprised her happened.

As a Saint-level existence, her perception of any changes in spiritual energy was incredibly sharp.

Unlike others who tried the Dream Heart, she immediately felt that with the infusion of this strand of spiritual energy, a faint power enhancement reached her spiritual origin.

This enhancement was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

But it felt so real.

At the same time, the Dream Heart's prompt also appeared.

[Kill an ordinary first-tier (level 1) monster: Fallen Small Demon, gain 1 experience point, Companion Beast gains 1 experience point, and real spiritual energy gains 1 point!]



(Note: The higher the in-game level, the higher the enemy's level, the more real spiritual energy gained!)



Looking at this prompt and feeling the invisible spiritual energy, Sage Sang couldn't hold back and exhaled a long breath. In this dream-like game, she was genuinely surprised by this form of meditation technique.

Can spiritual energy really be enhanced this way?

Is this the result of Su Ping's new research in less than a month?
