Chapter 276: All Set! The Journey to Beiyuan Province!
Chapter 276: All Set! The Journey to Beiyuan Province!
"Hey, Chief Zhao, about our trip to Beiyuan Province, when exactly are we leaving? We'll need to prepare once we get there, right? We're running out of time if we don't go soon."
Su Ping leaned on his chin and spoke helplessly into the phone.
He glanced at the time once more.
March 11th.
It had been half a month since Master Zhu Hong's departure, and the agreed-upon time had already passed.
However, Su Ping had already informed Zhao Deguang about this matter five days ago.
The legion's chief had been extremely busy these past few days and kept saying that there was no rush.
Finally, it was truly mid-March.
Su Ping couldn't help but feel anxious.
Perhaps sensing Su Ping's discontent, Zhao Deguang's exhausted voice reluctantly came through the phone:
"Su Ping, I'm sorry, but I might not be able to accompany you to Beiyuan. The agreed-upon date for Beiyuan is March 16th, which is in five days. During these five days, I really can't spare the time. I've already given you my recommendation letter. How about you go there by yourself? Is that okay?"
Hearing a legion chief speak like this, Su Ping could only suppress his frustration and resentment. Moreover, Su Ping knew that this person wasn't the type to back out on promises. He frowned slightly and asked:
"Chief Zhao, is the legion particularly busy these days?"
He genuinely didn't know because Su Ping had also been very busy during this time.
Zhao Deguang's voice came through the phone again, filled with exhaustion:
"Yeah, something happened recently. Damn it, I don't know what's going on. Many ferocious beasts have appeared in the estuary area of Xilong Lake, and they've even formed a sea beast tide in parts of the East Sea.
Even though it's the maritime legion's responsibility, the surrounding areas of Xilong Lake also need to cooperate in vigilance, patrol, and eliminate some of the ferocious beasts that have come ashore nearby. I really don't have the time, sorry."
In the past, even with Su Ping's exceptional talent, Chief Zhao wouldn't have apologized to a junior for breaking a promise.
But during this time before and after the New Year, the little guy in front of him had repeatedly exceeded Zhao Deguang's expectations. He still had to show the proper respect to such a junior.
A sea beast tide? In the direction of Xilong Lake?
Su Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't bother thinking too much about it.
Xilong Lake's area was so vast that it was almost like an inland sea within Jianghai Province, with numerous islands on its surface.
What were the ferocious beasts from the East Sea doing in the estuary of Xilong Lake?
He couldn't help but take this matter seriously. What if ferocious beasts escaped the legion's search and entered from Xilong Lake, then swam westward into the Lingxi River, and finally reached their border? What if they harmed his precious Coral Worm?
However, this possibility was slim.
With the legion's defensive capabilities, there shouldn't be any issues with powerful ferocious beasts in the sea.
Thinking of this, Su Ping felt slightly relieved and said, "Alright, please take care and stay safe!"
The call ended.
Su Ping rubbed his temples.
If he had known Chief Zhao would be so busy, he wouldn't have wasted time and would have bought tickets to Beiyuan Province already.
However, during these past few days, Su Ping's preparations had been quite thorough.
Thinking of this, Su Ping once again anxiously looked at his Beast Control Realm.
The highly pure golden box and golden gloves.
These were prepared for capturing the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.
Additionally, there was a large safe.
Inside the safe were treasures and resources that Su Ping had collected through various means during these past few days.
Among them, the most precious item was not in the safe but on Su Ping's other hand ring.
It was none other than the Sacred Spirit-grade resource! Yes, the Sacred Spirit-grade Soul Attraction Wick, the Sacred Spirit-grade resource required for cultivating the ancient supergrade skill 'Body Outside the Body'.
At the same time, it was also the reward Su Ping finally redeemed for winning first place in the breeding competition.
Besides this, the remaining resources for cultivating 'Body Outside the Body', such as the Emperor-grade resource Spirit Stream River, the Monarch-grade resource Monarch Slime Core, Rapid Reproduction Spores, Advanced Soul Fragments, and other resources, were all in his possession.
As for the Soul Attraction Wick, it wasn't that these resources would react when placed together.
It was purely because Su Ping was worried that they would be attracted by the little flame sprout in the Beast Control Realm.
During this time, much of Su Ping's attention had been focused on this little flame sprout, and he hadn't even thought much about Feifei's improvements.
He had gained some understanding of this little flame sprout.
It could merge with any flame and enjoyed being around bird-like Companion Beasts. When it was with these Companion Beasts, the flame seemed to burn with extreme delight.
Additionally, it liked to devour the Flame Fruit.
Most of the Flame Fruit that Su Ping occasionally created during this time was devoured by this little thing, causing Little Crow's food to be significantly reduced.
However, that was all. In other aspects, Su Ping knew very little about this little thing.
There was no way around it. This little thing occasionally acted like it was possessed, like when it spoke the snake text at the beginning.
But the content of the snake text was nothing more than the usual rhetoric about human traitors.
This left Su Ping speechless.
So, to solve this mystery, he had to slightly nurture this little flame sprout to understand why it hated human Beastmasters so much.
The little flame sprout was just one aspect. During this time, the most important thing was undoubtedly the preparation for 'Body Outside the Body'.
However, having so many resources was one aspect, and Su Ping also had one last condition and preparation.
Thinking of this, Su Ping, after hanging up the phone, once again anxiously called Dong Muchun:
"Hey, how's that matter we discussed last time going?"
Dong Muchun's voice came through the phone:
"The Dong family agreed, and Mirror Saint also agreed. Whenever you say so, the old man will bring Mirror Ancestor with him."
"That's good. If you're away, I'll try to inform you in advance. If you're in Wood Essence, it's easier to discuss."
Su Ping heaved a slight sigh of relief and then spoke again:
"Thank you for your help with this matter, and for going to the Dong family to plead on my behalf again."
Indeed.
Cultivating an external incarnation did require one final condition—a condition conceived by breeders worldwide on the breeder forum for cultivating clone-type skills. It required the projection of a Holy Spirit-rank pet beast, the Heaven-Reflecting Mirror.
However, Su Ping had never heard of anyone possessing a pet beast of such a rank in the Breeder Association.
Even if there were some rumors, Su Ping didn't have the face to casually ask for help.
What Su Ping hadn't expected was that Dong Muchun would effortlessly resolve such a difficult problem.
Indeed, the Dong family, known as the Mirror Saint family, possessed a Holy Spirit-rank Heaven-Reflecting Mirror.
It was the Dong family's last resort, and it was also one of their greatest assets, allowing them to retain their strength during turbulent times.
Dong Muchun seemed indifferent to Su Ping's gratitude:
"I'm just passing on a message. The old man has repeatedly wanted to meet you, and now that you've asked, they're more than willing to agree. Otherwise, how could they not even mention the conditions? Although it's just asking Mirror Ancestor to help with the projection, it's a small matter that's as easy as plucking a feather from a passing goose. But for the old man, how could he not have any requests at all?"
It was clear that Dong Muchun was quite dissatisfied with the Dong family's approach.
Su Ping didn't mind; the inheritance and operation of a large family were naturally different.
Of course, understanding didn't mean approval. Aside from the previous matter with Dong Muchun, Su Ping didn't have much goodwill towards the Dong family.
So, it was better to consider this favor as coming from Dong Muchun:
"Still, I must thank you! Otherwise, it might not have gone so smoothly."
"Tsk tsk, just saying thanks? How about offering yourself instead?"
Dong Muchun's playful voice came through the phone.
Su Ping paused slightly, "Are you sure?"
Dong Muchun was taken aback. Did this kid really mean what he was saying?
"Of course I'm sure, but I'm afraid someone might disagree!"
Su Ping paused before replying:
"I've already told you, Su Anyong reportedly sought a time-system beast tamer to predict our family's fortune. They said our family has the Nine Yang Destiny, which is very unfavorable for spouses. Look at our family..."
"Get out!"
The more this guy talked, the more outrageous he became. Dong Muchun cursed directly, thinking he had changed, only to find he was still the same.
"By the way, what skill do you want Mirror Ancestor to help cultivate? What kind of skill requires Mirror Ancestor's assistance?"
Dong Muchun awkwardly changed the subject.
"You'll know when the time comes. It's still a secret, and I'm not even sure if the cultivation will succeed."
Su Ping naturally didn't want to discuss the matter of external incarnations with others; it was too shocking.
Solar Heart could be said to be the culmination of Wood Essence's years of accumulation.
The Five Elements Body could be attributed to good luck, encountering Xue Hongluan's Five Elements Blueprints, as well as Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai's assistance.
However, if Su Ping were to quickly and flawlessly cultivate an external incarnation, it would indeed attract too much attention.
Once this news spread, it would instantly thrust Su Ping into the spotlight of the global breeder community.
Su Ping couldn't handle such attention.
Although this matter couldn't be concealed, every day he could delay was a day gained.
Fortunately, Dong Muchun didn't ask further, and after some casual conversation, Su Ping informed him that he would be going to Northern Original Province tomorrow.
After purchasing the plane ticket, Su Ping finally exhaled a breath of relief.
The flawless version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar
He didn't call anyone else but rode his usual exercise bike alone, leaving Wood Essence and cycling within the range of Heart of All Beings.
Just two days ago, he had absorbed some secret realms from the river and sea, and during his meditation in Dream Heart, his cultivation had reached Overlord Tier 3.
However, physical training as a beast tamer was also crucial.
More importantly, during this time, Su Ping had gained some understanding of Omniscient Pictorial up to Level 4.
He also tried using the 'Experience Infusion' effect.
Little Qing's level didn't increase significantly, mainly because she had reached the Overlord rank, and Su Ping couldn't tell if it was due to a mutation. He had tried once before, but her level didn't rise, indicating insufficient experience and a cooldown period, making it impossible to determine how much experience was needed to level her up.
However, for some ordinary-rank Forest Wolves, about a hundred experience points were needed to increase their level.
Upon reaching the Elite rank, the required experience points would surge.
Su Ping was currently pressed for time; otherwise, he could create a list based on the experience and realm required for advancement.
This would allow for better planning in the future.
However, there was another aspect to this power-up that Lin Lang hadn't considered: he wasn't using Ruyi.
Compared to his own advancement and breakthroughs, it lacked some flexibility.
There was nothing he could do about it.
The ability to infuse energy had already become incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring.
Naturally, nothing was perfect.
Calming his emotions, Su Ping rode his bike and traveled within the Heart of All Beings.
On the Heart of the Forest, two additional seedlings of the Lipstick Peach Blossom had been delivered and planted on either side of the Peach Blossom, which now resembled an elder sister, and they were getting along harmoniously.
Crossing through the Heart of the Forest, Su Ping arrived at the Buddha Palm Cliff.
The Hundred Birds Paulownia was no longer there.
It had directly moved to the topmost layer of the Tree City in the Heart of the Phoenix.
On the narrow mountain path connecting the Buddha Palm Cliff and the Heart of the Phoenix, the connecting passage no longer resembled a barren tree branch but had transformed into a natural railing, making the passage a true aerial tree corridor.
Figures stood there, using their mental power to solidify the branches growing on both sides, forming a natural railing and turning the passage into a genuine aerial tree corridor.
Su Ping smiled and took a glance, then continued riding his bike upwards on the Heart of the Forest.
The Life Ancient Tree was still there.
Old Sha's Natural Speech could keep the Life Ancient Tree alive, but it was still a temporary solution.
After greeting it, Su Ping finally descended from the Heart of the Forest.
Following the Heart of Water, he circled around.
Fogwater Pine's evolution preparation had already begun.
Apart from Su Ping, Li Shu was responsible for assisting.
This guy also had some talent in plant-type Companion Beasts, so he could develop them slightly.
However, it was currently impossible to complete.
Nowadays, the sea core spirit turtle, which was already as big as a washbasin, was lying on the fishing platform in the Heart of Water, becoming a lucky charm.
The little guy's level was still too low, and without Su Ping accompanying it, it couldn't be allowed to go into the water freely.
However, with the development of the special talents 'Dragon Aura' and 'Underwater Breathing', it was estimated that once Su Ping had time, the development of the Heart of All Beings would mainly focus on underwater expansion.
At that time, this little turtle would be needed.
For now, it would be kept as a pet.
Riding his bike, Su Ping circled around and took another look at the area where the magnetic field was being inspected.
After so many days, there was still no progress, but Su Ping wasn't in a rush.
Leaving the Heart of All Beings, Su Ping, the true owner of this vast area, arrived at the street that now belonged to him.
Opposite the Heart of All Beings, numerous residential buildings had been demolished.
The foundations for the pavilions had already started, ensuring that the surrounding views were not obstructed and maintaining the desired size.
In the future, this place would be the commercial interaction center of the Heart of All Beings.
Su Ping hadn't decided on a name yet, and he wasn't in a hurry.
After a quick glance, Su Ping followed the passage to the area he was inspecting this time.
Entering the Soul Heart, the air seemed to become colder, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.
The first area after the entrance, occupying an extremely vast area, was the Death Wheat Field Farm, which included the unused wasteland behind it.
A two-meter-high field of golden yellow and green wheat stalks resembled a golden ocean.
However, under the control of the Beastmaster's mental power and the ability to summon Companion Beasts, this wheat field was the most terrifying and desperate place.
Scarecrows hidden within it would chase and kill,
With the changing of time, the wheat stalks would turn blood-red, and the 'Bewitching Formation' set up within the wheat field was the most terrifying natural maze.
Su Ping took a quick glance and then continued to the remaining areas.
The Zombie Mausoleum, based on jumping zombies and other evolved bodies, was already constructed.
This was almost comparable to a medium-sized village, with the mausoleum and several surrounding buildings. Each coffin was either black or vermilion, and paper money flew everywhere, but there was not a single living person.
This place was so eerie that even some Beastmasters who resisted undead Companion Beasts felt their skin crawl.
However, apart from this, the other areas were not yet complete.
Bai Cang was working hard, and the architect was busy there. This guy was tirelessly training those undead Companion Beasts day and night.
Just this dedication was commendable.
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction and then went back to the Heart of All Beings, which also served as the development area for the Heart of Earth.
Old Liu had suggested that Su Ping find some Beastmasters in the Breeder Association to be his apprentices, but Su Ping hadn't had the time to do so.
The Heart of Earth wasn't particularly interesting, so Su Ping took a quick look and, as it was already dark, he returned to the Heart of Wood.
Old Liu, Li Shu, and the others knew that Su Ping was about to go to Northern Original Province, so they didn't have any objections.
After a good night's rest, Su Ping arrived at the Linzhou Airport and boarded the plane to Northern Original Province.
The usual rule, tomorrow's second chapter, tried the recently popular Palu, looked at the strategy for more than an hour, prepared to replicate the Heart of All Beings there, half an hour later, 3D dizziness, Zhou Zhi.
