Chapter 270: Legendary Breeding Evolution? The Capture Method of Jade Demon Spring Ginseng!
Perched atop the majestic Hundred Bird Paulownia tree were over a dozen birds, recently rescued by the little crow.
The sudden appearance of Su Ping, Lin Zhou, and Su Ye had startled the flock, but the little crow's authoritative demeanor kept them from taking flight.
Su Ping glanced up, confirming his suspicions. While there were many birds, their quality was rather ordinary.
These were common flying-type companion beasts, easily obtainable and of little value to Su Ping and the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
However, Su Ping didn't want to discourage the little crow's enthusiasm for its rescue efforts.
Moreover, there was an advantage to having more birds on the Hundred Bird Paulownia; it would create a flock effect, attracting even more birds to the area.
Su Ping's idea of creating a specialized habitat for flying-type companion beasts might not require a closed-off facility after all.
There was just one problem to solve.
How could Su Ping get these flying beasts to obey his commands? Once he had a group of obedient ones, future additions would naturally follow suit without training.
This wasn't a difficult task for Su Ping.
Finally, his talent could be put to good use!
Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits!
After the Breeding Master Competition, the Mental Fruit had enhanced Su Ping's talent, and he was eager to test its additional effects.
Within the Beastmaster Space, companion beasts couldn't resist Su Ping's commands for a short period, effectively taming them.
"Yaya!"
"Caw!"
The little crow, excited, flew above Su Ping and landed on his shoulder, its enthusiasm evident.
"This is a dangerous task. If you want to do it again, let me know first, understand?"
"Caw!"
Su Ping didn't scold the little crow; as long as it didn't hurt anyone, paying a little compensation was no big deal.
For the little crow, this was a heroic act of bravery.
"I'll give you some time to gather these little ones. Tonight, we'll go to my Beastmaster Space for a lesson!"
"Caw!"
Old Liu and Master Zhu Hong gave the young man a strange look.
Evening lessons? This was a common occurrence among breeding masters, especially the more eccentric ones, when it came to female apprentices.
But Su Ping's evening class was for a group of birds?
Master Zhu Hong smiled helplessly, then added, "Speaking of which, are you planning to create a new base for breeding birds?"
Su Ping nodded.
"Definitely in the future."
"Your enthusiasm is admirable, young man, but remember, your energy is finite. As I said before, if you want to undertake such a project, you must involve other breeding masters. With your talent and skills, I'm not worried about you becoming a jack-of-all-trades. But remember, focus is key."
Su Ping smiled and nodded in agreement, "I understand, Master Zhu Hong. Don't worry."
There was still no news from Dong Muchun about the Xue family member he was searching for.
However, in the Undead Spirit Heart, a man named Bai Cang had been doing an excellent job with the construction of the Spirit Heart.
If possible, Su Ping thought, Bai Cang could stay and work at the Spirit Heart of the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
Su Ping still had two sword-type undead companion beasts to breed, the Eternal White Bone Sword and the Spirit-Extinguishing Hell Sword, both initially belonging to Yu Liangqing.
"Good, that's settled then. Speaking of which, how do you plan to manage this flying-type companion beast habitat?" Master Zhu Hong asked.
This breeding master's understanding of various companion beasts was indeed extraordinary.
Su Ping didn't pretend otherwise and shook his head honestly, "I haven't thought it through yet. But with the Hundred Bird Paulownia here, this place is already quite suitable."
"It is indeed suitable, but I can tell you're not satisfied with just that! For flying-type companion beasts, a forest habitat is ideal, and the taller the trees, the safer it is for them..."
Master Zhu Hong paused, narrowing his eyes slightly, then surveyed the area before concluding, "I'll help you establish this bird breeding base here. Consider it my contribution to your Five Elements Body breeding project, and my payment to you!"
Su Ping was taken aback, then delighted, "In that case, thank you, Master Zhu Hong."
He had full confidence in the master's abilities, and this task, though challenging for Su Ping, might be a breeze for Master Zhu Hong.
A master breeder personally made a promise regarding this, and there was nothing to doubt.
"Hmm, I estimate it'll take about half a month for Da Huang to complete his evolution. When the time comes, I'll also have to leave Linzhou. Consider it my final gift to you, but... have you thought of a name for this place by then?"
Su Ping blinked and looked at Master Zhu's smile-filled question, genuinely scratching his head for a moment.
After interacting for almost two months, he had a good grasp of Su Ping's thoughts.
This was indeed the issue that Su Ping was relatively concerned about at the moment.
What should this bird breeding base be named? He genuinely didn't know.
But...
"Can Da Huang complete his evolution in just half a month?"
"Yes, although I've been focusing on researching Origami Man, I haven't stopped working on Da Huang either. Moreover, Qin President's Wood Dragon Blood has been consistently provided."
During this period, Da Huang's Wood and Earth attributes have achieved a certain balance. The next step is to accumulate energy while relying on these two attributes, which are not mutually generating but closely related. By doing so, he can achieve a similar energy circulation to the Five Elements Mutual Control Array, thus completing the evolution! Haha, this is the inspiration I gained from researching Origami Man. So, Su Ping, you are my benefactor!"
Master Zhu spoke with exaggerated enthusiasm.
Su Ping's eyebrows rose.
Suddenly, he caught onto something:
"Master Zhu, did you just say that Da Huang's evolution mainly relies on the Wood and expanded Earth attributes? Is there a traceable pattern to this evolution?"
"The Dragon Clan's evolution is different from that of many other companion beasts. The Dragon Clan is somewhat like a mutant beast, with numerous potential research and development paths. Even without the addition of the Wood attribute, Da Huang can still complete his evolution by further strengthening the Earth attribute."
Su Ping's eyes lit up:
"So, when these two similar attributes are combined in such a companion beast, it will naturally trigger an evolutionary response, right? At the very least, this is how mutant beasts evolve, isn't it?"
"That's correct," Master Zhu nodded. Liu Fuhai, who had remained silent, seemed to understand the meaning behind Su Ping's question:
"Su Ping, do you want to evolve your mutated Wood and Toxic attribute Lin Wolf?"
Su Ping nodded.
Master Zhu had seen Xiao Qing's appearance and wasn't surprised:
"The evolution of mutant beasts can be challenging, but it can also be easy.
The reason lies in the fact that due to their mutations, mutant beasts have almost no referenceable evolutionary prototypes. However, it's considered easy because mutant beasts excel in certain aspects. As long as you focus on nurturing in that direction, it will be sufficient.
If you merely want your mutated Lin Wolf to continue evolving purely based on the Wood and Toxic attributes, you just need to further cultivate these two attributes. Once they reach their peak, there's a chance for evolution! Of course, the capabilities after evolution depend on your assessment. But according to my estimation, if it's just an ordinary evolution of attributes, even if you use relatively advanced resources, the capabilities after evolution will likely not be as stunning as that of the mutated Origami Man."
Master Zhu generously shared his thoughts.
However, Su Ping had already narrowed his eyes.
So that was the case.
In that case, the evolution of Xiao Qing would indeed be relatively simple?
Xiao Qing's evolution wasn't merely an extension of attributes; she had a significant advantage.
External Incarnation!
The potential of using a clone-type skill was immense.
Moreover, energy enhancement? Resource enhancement? Reaching a pinnacle of evolution in the cultivation of these two attributes?
For no apparent reason, Su Ping thought of that thing!
Jade Demon Spring Ginseng!
The only legendary resource for both Wood and Toxic attributes!
If he used this item again to help Xiao Qing complete her evolution?
What level of improvement would Xiao Qing achieve if she evolved with External Incarnation? At this thought, Su Ping narrowed his eyes and subconsciously licked his lips.
So, he casually asked:
"Master Zhu, for this type of breeding evolution, is it better to use higher-grade resources?"
"Of course not. It's also essential to consider the compatibility with the companion beast. But your Lin Wolf is fine in that regard since it's a rare mutated Wood and Toxic attribute Lin Wolf.
Da Huang needs Wood Dragon Blood for his Wood attribute evolution, so he uses it as a catalyst along with other Wood attribute resources. Therefore, I assume that if you want to cultivate, using both resources together, stimulating with Emperor Rank resources, will be beneficial."
Emperor Rank! Su Ping had access to such resources, but thinking of the crazy possibility, he still asked:
"Are there any high-grade resources for the Wood and Toxic attributes in our Dragon Country?"
"Hmm..."
Master Zhu glanced at this arrogant young man but still thought for a moment:
"The Wood Essence Spirit Fungus at the Supreme Spirit Peak and the Yellow Spring Water at the same level are one Wood attribute and one Toxic attribute resource, respectively, both at the Supreme Spirit Peak level.
Su Ping feigned nonchalance and asked, "Ah? Only Shenglingji? No legendaries?"
Zhu Hong glanced at the young man with his heart set on swallowing an elephant, "What are you thinking? Even if such things exist, it's unlikely that they could help you evolve a Tonglingji pet. Moreover, legendary resources are incredibly rare, and each one is an invaluable strategic resource."
Furthermore, don't be too ambitious. Even if you provide advanced evolution energy, it's still challenging for ordinary pets to endure it. The Bingwangji has already reached its limit, and when the time comes, you'll need Bingwangji resources. I can mobilize them for you; your permissions allow for the use of Bingwangji resources every year."
Su Ping nodded, looking curious, and asked, "Master Zhu, what are the legendary resources of the Wood and Toxic Attributes? Have you ever seen any?"
Zhu Hong could understand Su Ping's curiosity.
He didn't hide anything and thought for a moment before saying, "I've never heard of a single Toxic Attribute, but I've heard of Wood and Life Attribute legendary resources. There's one called the Longevity Elixir!"
"The Longevity Elixir?" Su Ping was taken aback.
"Yes, but I've only heard a little about it. Even so, I don't know what it looks like, and I don't have a deep understanding of it. However, the only thing I know about its effect is that any living being who consumes it can increase their lifespan. It's a treasure sought after by countless beings!"
As for the other pure Wood Attribute legendary resources, I've heard a little, but most of them are hearsay. However, there's one you might be interested in, a Wood and Toxic Attribute combined legendary resource called the 'Jade Demon Spring Ginseng'."
Zhu Hong spoke candidly, and finally mentioned the name, causing Su Ping's heart to skip a beat.
"Jade Demon Spring Ginseng?" he pretended to hear about it for the first time.
"That's right," Zhu Hong explained, "There's a legendary resource like this, which simultaneously possesses the effects of the Wood and Toxic Attributes. This Jade Demon Spring Ginseng is extremely mysterious. Historically, the Dragon Nation has had a few instances of obtaining the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng, so there's some understanding of it."
"Unlike other resources, this one not only has a certain level of basic intelligence but also possesses a special ability called 'Jade Demon Embodiment,' which can transform into any plant body. Most beings, even those with discerning eyes, find it hard to distinguish its true form. Therefore, the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng is challenging to discover."
"Even if it's discovered, the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng can abandon its transformed body and escape in its true form. It's difficult to restrain with most methods. And even if the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng abandons its body, its medicinal power is still contained within, making it a rare treasure."
Zhu Hong continued to explain.
Su Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "For such a rare resource, has our Dragon Nation ever had control over it?"
This question made Zhu Hong laugh heartily, "You may have extraordinary talent, but the Dragon Nation has such a long history. How many exceptional figures have appeared? Naturally, there have been some lucky ones."
He summarized some of the characteristics of the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng. First, this thing comes and goes without a trace, and it's even challenging to capture.
It withers plants, dissolves in water, burns in fire, and merges with earth! Any tangible object cannot escape its grasp, even some destructive energies are like this.
However, after so many years, a wise man discovered that gold can hinder its actions. Therefore, as long as it's placed within a golden artifact, it cannot escape!
Of course, in theory, it's even more challenging to find because the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng is so scarce.
With these words, Zhu Hong slightly sighed and shook his head regretfully. He was also very interested in the specific effects and capabilities of the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.
But this thing was indeed too rare.
Wanting to see this object was difficult beyond measure.
However, at this moment, Zhu Hong didn't seem to notice the suppressed joy in Su Ping's eyes.
Withers plants, dissolves in water, burns in fire, and merges with earth?
It's like the legendary elixir of immortality!
But as long as there's a way to capture it, it won't be a problem!
Liu Fuhai, standing nearby, also smiled and said, "That's enough. Such things are not something you and I can encounter in the short term. Don't tell me you're thinking of using legendary resources to evolve your Forest Wolf? Go to sleep."
Su Ping merely smiled slightly.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
The reason for Xiao Qing's mutation was due to the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng. She even had a certain level of sensitivity to this Wood and Toxic Attribute combined legendary resource.
This means that Xiao Qing has resistance to this Wood and Toxic Attribute combined legendary resource. Evolving with the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng is not impossible!
It's just that this kind of thing, unless it's already been obtained, wouldn't be casually shared, not even with one's own father!
It's unknown what their reactions would be if these two had the opportunity to see in the future that he had obtained the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.
Tsk, there's a bit of impatience, wanting to go to the Northern Plains.
