The morning sun shone brightly, casting its rays across the forest. Su Ping paid no attention to the dazzling sunlight reflecting off the trees. Through his True Vision, he once again observed the changes in Xiao Qing at this very moment.
He nodded with slight satisfaction.
After several days, Xiao Qing's growth and progress had become the primary motivation for Su Ping to continue his journey. From the initial grand declarations, Xiao Qing had made remarkable strides.
Three days had passed. If it weren't for the constant phone calls from the Rong family, Su Ping might have thought he had gone missing. Those three days were spent solely on the previous night's search, with only one night's rest.
The rest of the time was spent tirelessly searching day and night.
In the Tian Mountain, Su Ping, armed with a satellite map, conducted a thorough search in the surrounding areas, akin to a carpet sweep. He found a few remnants of the Green Demon Ginseng's shed skin, but there was not a single trace or clue of its main body.
Although Su Ping had anticipated this, after so many days, the lack of progress couldn't help but leave him slightly disappointed.
Especially since Su Ping had prepared for a dramatic comeback, hoping for a miracle to occur before leaving Tian Mountain.
Unfortunately, no such miracle materialized.
On the fourth day in Bei Yuan Province, it was time for Su Ping to return.
Fortunately, Xiao Qing's progress and transformation brought him some solace.
In just a few days, Xiao Qing had broken through to the Overlord Tier 3, an astonishingly rapid improvement compared to her previous advancement.
However, the most captivating aspect was the advancement of her two skills, Poisonous Flower and Root of Grass, which had now reached the Perfected level, the highest tier for ordinary skills.
This improvement was undoubtedly a result of consuming the shed skin of the Green Demon Ginseng over the past three days.
Although the Green Demon Ginseng held no residual energy within, through Xiao Qing's spiritual feedback, it was evident that the shed skin was in perfect harmony with her core.
While it may not have provided an energy boost or a significant increase in realm for other pets, it could very well be useless deadwood for them.
But for Xiao Qing, the assistance it offered was undeniable.
Within a short period, Xiao Qing's later comprehension of these two skills allowed her to reach the Perfected level under such circumstances, a testament to its effectiveness.
Moreover, the most apparent change was that after consuming the shed skin of the Green Demon Ginseng, Xiao Qing's evolution glow became even more dazzling than when Su Ping had first witnessed it.
It was clear indication that the more she consumed the shed skin, the stronger her evolutionary response became.
However, even without additional measures, like in the case of Qian Yi, the rapid flashing of the evolution glow and the imminent evolution were still significantly inferior.
"Cousin, are we finally heading back to the city today?" Rong Mang asked, his face streaming with tears.
It had been three whole days and nights.
Initially, he had thought that his esteemed cousin, who had gained their grandfather's favor on their first meeting, was merely curious about the renowned Tian Mountain. But now, after three days and nights, he was still there.
At most, he thought he would stay for a day.
But he never imagined he would be there for so long.
Rong Mang, the young master of the Rong family, often enjoyed exploring and searching for resources, finding it akin to a fun mushroom-picking adventure.
If that were the case, he could observe his cousin's beast taming skills and even exchange beast taming insights.
Rong Mang had hoped to strengthen their bond and share experiences in this aspect.
But his good cousin had other plans.
After so many days, Rong Mang still couldn't fathom his cousin's intentions.
He was just wandering around.
In the Tian Mountain Park, he was just strolling.
Whenever he found some branches or something, he would use that peculiar golden chest to seal them.
Initially, even Rong Mang and the Rong family's guards might have taken a second glance out of curiosity.
But later, they became numb to it.
Rong Mang had been eagerly awaiting the day they would return, and once they did, he vowed to never follow this seemingly eccentric cousin on his idle wanderings, even if their grandfather insisted.
It was like he was just showing off his wealth. Now, finally, he was free.
Su Ping nodded, understanding his cousin's resentment.
It wasn't his fault; he had made it clear that he could manage on his own, but Rong Mang insisted on tagging along.
After greeting Xing Chen, Su Ping got into the vehicle.
The reason for his return today wasn't out of kindness or to give Rong Mang a chance to turn over a new leaf.
Instead, one of the main purposes of his trip was the selection of the Heavenly Tomb Special Elite Force's Beast Taming Association, which was starting today.
With this in mind, after getting into the car, Su Ping took out the introduction letter that Zhao Deguang had given him and read it again:
"March 16th, North Chill City, Bei Yuan Province, Beast Tamer Association Park, 01-Building C-01, 2nd Floor."
The selection for the Heavenly Tomb Special Elite Force was taking place right here!
Su Ping sighed.
"Xing Ge, let's go!"
...
At this moment, on the other side, someone else was also preparing.
"Damn, that little Xing is being taken away by that brat. It's a bit unsettling."
Su Anyong, sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but click his tongue as he looked at Cold Sir.
Su Anyong focused on driving the mechanical flying vehicle, swiftly heading towards North Chill City from the border's legion.
Cold Sir didn't pay any attention to Su Anyong's words.
"These Beast Tamers are so sentimental, insisting on holding the selection in the city. What a hassle."
Finally, Su Anyong spoke up, "Perhaps Master Yin has some unique ideas."
"Ideas..."
Cold Sir scoffed, "That old man, even with the Heavenly Tomb, doesn't dare to let his famous bred Battle Soul Overlord, Ghost Saint, and other Necromancy-type evolved creatures attempt the test. Instead, he's testing the Beast Tamers selected from various provinces? Hmph...
Although that old witch, Charles, is more and more annoying to look at, it's undeniable that when it comes to Necromancy breeding capabilities, even the old mummy from the Mummy Kingdom is only on par with him. Now, with the resources from the Heavenly Tomb, this old ghost might even surpass him.
Master Yin's promotion to the Master rank is largely because the Dragon Kingdom is relatively lacking in Necromancy pet breeding. As for the Super Rank Skill he bred... Forget it, let's not mention it."
Su Anyong glanced at Cold Sir and said, "Didn't you say that both of you are affiliated with the 'Burial Grounds'? From your tone, it seems like you have some issues with Master Yin?"
"Nonsense!"
Cold Sir knew what Su Anyong was referring to. "I don't have any particular opinions. We're not very familiar with each other, and it's purely because that old thing annoyed me a while back. I see that he doesn't have Charles' abilities, yet he's always full of nonsense, making me anxious.
As for the Dragon City, there's only this one Necromancy Dragon Clan legacy, with the Ghost Dragon and Bone Dragon legacies originating from there. What other choices are there? The Four Seas Dragon Palace, Earth Valley, and Five-Colored City, as well as the Ancestral Dragon Nest and others, aren't suitable for my Ghost Dragon."
Su Anyong shrugged. He didn't have a deep understanding of the Dragon City's situation or the various detailed branches.
The reason he brought up this topic, which he only partially understood, was purely because of another question he was concerned about: "Second Sir, what do you think Su Ping will choose when he enters the Dragon City?"
Cold Sir wasn't surprised.
In fact, he had already guessed Su Anyong's question.
The Dragon City represented the highest and most important position in the Dragon Kingdom.
Choosing a Dragon Clan legacy within the Dragon City based on one's own preferences was a crucial matter.
"How would I know? Your family's kid has so many strange and wonderful things going on. It's possible he'll choose any Dragon Clan legacy. This also depends on the Dragon pet he obtains."
At this point, Cold Sir showed his teeth. It was clear from their previous interactions that Cold Sir had guessed Su Anyong's question.
If the choice was based on Necromancy, it would be the Dragon Clan legacy of the Burial Grounds.
However, if it was based on the strange Wolf Wood Heart pet Su Ping had last time, it was highly likely to be the Dragon Clan legacy of the Five-Colored City.
If it was based on the strange Spirit-type pet Su Ping had when he left, then the legacy of the Emerald Dreamland was more probable.
As for the rest...
Cold Sir didn't know.
As he always said, who could truly understand a strange kid like Su Ping?
Cold Sir snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at Su Anyong, "Forget it. These matters aren't for you and me to worry about right now. What you need to consider is the most important thing: as an instructor of the Heavenly Tomb Special Beast Taming Force and one of the examiners for this selection, you must carefully record which breeding is more suitable and has a higher chance of improving the exploration of the Heavenly Tomb. After the selection, we'll quickly begin the breeding and cultivation!"
"Yes..."
...
The flying vehicle crossed the high skies of the legion and North Chill City, entering the city and slowly landing on the rooftop of Building C-01 of the Beast Tamer Association Park.
However, the two of them didn't notice that as they exited the vehicle, they were greeted by a crowd of people from the Bei Yuan Province Beast Tamer Association, who surrounded and escorted them down from the rooftop towards the second floor. Meanwhile, Xing Chen had already parked a small car at the Bei Yuan Province Beast Tamer Association, and the two familiar figures quickly identified the direction and headed towards Building C-01.
