Chapter 270: Legendary Cultivation Evolution? Capturing the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng!
Chapter 270: Legendary Cultivation Evolution? Capturing the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng!
Perched atop the massive Hundred Birds Paulownia Tree were over a dozen birds.
It was just moments ago that Little Crow had rescued them.
However, it was evident that the appearance of Su Ping and his companions had startled the flock.
If not for Little Crow's big brother-like demeanor at that moment, these flying creatures would have already taken flight and left.
Su Ping glanced up, and as expected, although there were quite a few of them, the quality was rather ordinary.
These were common flying-type companion beasts that could be easily purchased, and they held little value for Su Ping and the Heart of All Beings.
Nevertheless, Su Ping didn't want to dampen Little Crow's enthusiasm after his heroic rescue.
Moreover, there was an advantage to having more birds on the Hundred Birds Paulownia Tree. The larger the flock, the stronger the herd effect, which would naturally attract even more birds to gather around.
Furthermore, Su Ping's previous idea of creating a habitat for flying-type companion beasts might no longer require a closed-off venue.
However, there was still one issue to address.
Indeed, the question was how Su Ping could make these flying-type companion beasts obey his commands. Once the first batch was trained, future ones would naturally gather here without the need for further training.
This wasn't a difficult problem.
With his talent, he could finally put it to good use!
Heart of All Beings!
After the Beast Tamer Competition, the reward of the Soul Fruit enhanced his talent, and Su Ping had yet to explore the additional effects of this talent.
Within the Beastmaster Space, companion beasts would be unable to resist his commands for a short period, effectively taming them.
"Ya Ya!"
"Caw caw!"
Little Crow, filled with excitement, flew to Su Ping's side and perched on his shoulder, its enthusiasm evident.
"This kind of thing is dangerous. If you want to do it again in the future, let me know, understand?"
"Caw caw!"
Su Ping didn't scold Little Crow. As long as it didn't harm anyone, paying some compensation wasn't a big deal.
Moreover, for Little Crow, this was indeed a heroic act of bravery.
"I'll give you some time to gather the creatures you brought. Tonight, we'll go to my Beastmaster Space for a lesson!"
"Caw caw!"
Old Liu and Master Zhu Hong gave the little rascal a peculiar look.
A lesson at night?
This was quite common in the Beast Tamer community, especially among some less serious Beast Tamers when it came to female students.
But Su Ping's evening lesson was for a group of birds?
Master Zhu Hong smiled helplessly but followed along, "Speaking of which, you want to create a new base for breeding birds, right?"
Su Ping nodded, "Yes, there will definitely be one in the future."
"Your energy is indeed boundless, but Su Ping, there's only so much a person can do. Remember, if you want to do this, you must have the help of other Beast Tamers!" Master Zhu Hong reiterated, not worried about Su Ping's ability to handle multiple tasks, but still offering a word of caution.
Su Ping smiled and nodded in response to Master Zhu Hong's reminder, "Don't worry, I'm already looking for some help!"
Dong Muchun was still searching for a member of the Xue family, but there was no news yet.
However, in the Soul Realm, the construction of the Soul Heart was progressing well, thanks to a person named Bai Cang.
If possible, Bai Cang could stay in the Soul Heart of the Heart of All Beings in the future.
Conveniently, Su Ping still had two sword-type companion beasts from the Soul Realm that he hadn't cultivated—the Eternal White Bone Sword and the Hellish Yama Sword, both initially belonging to Yu Liangqing.
"Mhm, that's good. By the way, for the future realm dedicated to flying-type companion beasts, how do you plan to arrange it?" Master Zhu Hong asked.
This Beast Tamer master had an extraordinary understanding and insight into various companion beasts.
Su Ping didn't pretend otherwise and honestly shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet. But with the Hundred Birds Paulownia here, this place is already quite suitable."
"It is indeed suitable, but given your personality, it's clear that you want something more! Flying-type companion beasts, especially those of the bird variety, tend to roost in forests. However, the forests required for bird-type companion beasts have minimal impact on the surroundings, and the higher, the better."
Master Zhu Hong paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes slightly before looking around at the area. After a moment of thought, he said, "Let me handle it. I'll help you create this bird breeding base, and consider it my contribution to your Five Elements Body cultivation!"
Su Ping was taken aback, then delighted, "In that case, thank you, Master Zhu!"
He had no doubt about the master's capabilities and didn't hesitate to accept the offer. This task might be troublesome for him, but for Master Zhu Hong, it was probably not a big deal.
A Beast Tamer personally made a promise regarding this, and he didn't have any reason to doubt it either.
"Hmm, I estimate it'll take about half a month for Da Huang to complete its evolution. When the time comes, I'll have to leave Linzhou, and this will be my final gift to you. But... have you thought of a name for this place?"
Su Ping blinked, looking at Master Zhu Hong's exaggerated question with a smile. For a moment, he genuinely scratched his head.
After interacting for less than two months, he had figured out Su Ping's little thoughts.
This was indeed something Su Ping cared about relatively more at the moment.
What was the name of this bird breeding base?
He genuinely didn't know.
But...
"Can Da Huang complete its evolution in just half a month?"
"Hmm, although we've been researching Origami Man during this time, we haven't stopped working on Da Huang either. Moreover, President Qin has consistently provided Wood Dragon Blood."
Over this period, Da Huang's Earth and Wood attributes had achieved a certain balance. Next, it was time to accumulate energy, simultaneously relying on these two non-complementary yet closely related attributes to achieve a Five Elements Body energy circulation, thus completing its evolution!
Haha, this was the inspiration I got from researching Origami Man. So, Su Ping, you're my lucky star!"
Master Zhu Hong 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 involves Earth and Wood attributes? Is there a precedent for such an evolution?"
"Dragon evolution is different from that of many other Pet Beasts. Dragons are somewhat like mutated Pet Beasts, with numerous potential research and development paths. Even without the addition of Wood attributes, Da Huang can still complete its evolution by further strengthening its Earth attributes."
Su Ping's eyes lit up:
"So, when these two similar attributes are combined in a Pet Beast like this, it will naturally trigger an evolutionary response, right? At the very least, this is the case for mutated Pet Beasts?"
"That's right." Master Zhu Hong nodded. Liu Fuhai, who had been silent all this time, seemed to understand Su Ping's intention:
"Su Ping, do you want to evolve your mutated Poison Wood Forest Wolf?"
Su Ping nodded.
Master Zhu Hong had seen Little Qing before and wasn't surprised:
"The evolution of mutated Pet Beasts can be both challenging and easy.
The reason lies in the fact that due to their mutations, there are hardly any evolutionary prototypes for these Pet Beasts to reference. However, saying it's easy is because mutated Pet Beasts excel in certain aspects. As long as you focus on nurturing in that direction, it'll be fine.
For your mutated Forest Wolf, if you simply want to continue evolving purely with Wood and Poison attributes, then you just need to keep nurturing 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 the attributes evolve in such an ordinary manner, even with relatively advanced resources, the capabilities after evolution might not be as impressive as that mutated Origami Man."
Master Zhu Hong generously shared his thoughts.
However, Su Ping narrowed his eyes.
So that was it.
Indeed, evolving Little Qing seemed relatively simple.
Little Qing's evolution wasn't just a simple extension of attributes, as the little guy had a significant advantage.
External Body!
Read the uncensored version at 69shu! 6=9+shu_ba.
The potential of using Doppelganger skills is enormous.
Moreover, energy enhancement? Resource enhancement? By reaching the pinnacle of nurturing in these two attributes, what level of evolutionary body could it achieve?
For no apparent reason, Su Ping thought of that thing!
Jade Demon Spring Ginseng!
The only legendary resource for both Wood and Poison attributes!
If he used this item again to help Little Qing complete her evolution, what level of improvement would she achieve when evolving with External Body? At this thought, Su Ping narrowed his eyes and instinctively licked his lips.
So, he casually asked:
"Master Zhu, for this nurturing evolution, is it better to use more advanced resources?"
"Of course not. It also depends on the Pet Beast's suitability. But your Forest Wolf is fine because it's a rare mutated Forest Wolf with both Poison and Wood attributes.
My Da Huang needs Wood attributes for its evolution, so I've been using Wood Dragon Blood as medicine, along with other Wood attribute resources. So, I estimate that if you want to nurture it, using both resources together with Emperor-rank resources might directly trigger its evolution!"
Emperor-rank! Su Ping did have it, but thinking about that crazy possibility, he asked:
"Do we currently have any advanced Wood and Poison resources in Dragon Country?"
"Hmm..."
Master Zhu Hong glanced at this arrogant young man but still thought for a moment:
"The Wood Essence Fungus and Yellow Spring Water, both at the Peak Sacred Spirit level. One is Wood, and the other is Poison, both are Sacred Spirit-level resources."
Su Ping pretended to casually ask, "Ah? Only Holy Spirit Rank? No Legendary Rank?"
Zhu Hong glanced at this greedy young man again.
"What are you thinking? Even if such things exist, it's impossible to use them to help your pet beast evolve to the Marquis Rank. Moreover, Legendary Rank resources are extremely rare, each one is an invaluable strategic resource.
Don't aim too high. Even if advanced resources provide super-limit energy for evolution, it's still difficult for ordinary pet beasts to withstand them. The Emperor Rank is already the upper limit. When you need Emperor Rank resources in the future, I can mobilize them for you. You have the authority to use Emperor Rank resources every year."
Su Ping nodded and asked curiously, "Master Zhu, what are the Wood and Poison System Legendary Rank resources? Have you ever seen them?"
Zhu Hong could understand Su Ping's curiosity.
He didn't hide anything and thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't heard of any Poison System resources, but I have heard of Wood and Life System Legendary Rank resources. There's one called the Immortal Life Elixir!"
"Immortal Life Elixir?" Su Ping was taken aback.
"Yes, but I've only heard a little about it. Even the appearance of this thing is not particularly clear, but the only known effect is that any living being who consumes it can greatly increase their lifespan. It's a supreme treasure sought after by countless beings!
As for the rest, I've only heard some rumors about pure Wood System legendary resources, but they are mostly hearsay. However, there's one you might be interested in, a Wood and Poison System legendary resource called 'Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.'"
Zhu Hong spoke with ease, and when he finally mentioned this name, Su Ping's heart skipped a beat.
"Jade Demon Spring Ginseng?" He pretended to be hearing about it for the first time.
"Yes, according to rumors, there's such a legendary resource with both Poison and Wood System effects. This Jade Demon Spring Ginseng is extremely mysterious. In the past, Dragon Country had obtained it a few times, so we have some understanding of it.
What sets this resource apart from others is that it not only has a certain level of intelligence but also possesses a special ability called 'Jade Demon Incarnation,' allowing it to transform into any plant. Most beings would find it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, making it hard to discover the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.
Even if it's found, the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng can abandon its transformed body and escape in its true form, making it difficult to restrain by most means. And even if the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng abandons its body, the discarded body still contains its medicinal power, making it a rare treasure.
Su Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "Such a rare resource, has our Dragon Country ever controlled it before?"
Zhu Hong laughed, "You may have extraordinary talent, but Dragon Country has a long history. How many outstanding figures have there been? Of course, there have been some lucky ones.
They have summarized some characteristics of the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng. First, this thing comes and goes like a ghost, and it's even challenging to capture.
It withers wood, dissolves in water, burns in fire, and sinks into the earth. It can escape from any physical object, even destructive energies.
However, over the years, sages have discovered that gold can hinder its actions. So, as long as it's placed in a golden vessel, it can't escape! Of course, in practice, it's even more challenging to find the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng due to its rarity."
As he spoke, Zhu Hong shook his head with a hint of regret, clearly showing his interest in the specific effects and abilities of the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.
But this thing was indeed too rare.
Seeing it would be difficult.
However, at this moment, Zhu Hong didn't seem to notice the suppressed joy in Su Ping's eyes.
Withers wood, dissolves in water, burns in fire, and sinks into the earth?
It's like the legendary Peaches of Immortality!
As long as there's a way to capture it, it's not a problem!
Liu Fuhai, standing beside them, laughed, "Forget it. Where can you and I find such a thing in the short term? Don't tell me you want to use a Legendary Rank resource to evolve your Forest Wolf? It's time to give up and go to sleep."
But Su Ping only smiled faintly.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
The reason for Little Qing's mutation was because of the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng, and she even had a certain sensitivity to it.
This meant that Little Qing had some resistance to this Wood and Poison System legendary resource.
Based on this, it wasn't impossible to rely on the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng for evolution.
However, unless they already had it in hand, they wouldn't casually tell others about it, not even their own fathers. I wonder what their reactions would be if they had the chance to see the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng in the future?
Su Ping felt a bit impatient and eager to go to the Northern Plains.
