Chapter 304: The Painted Skin Ghost and the Faceless Rebirth!
Chapter 304: The Painted Skin Ghost and the Faceless Rebirth!
A skill that allows a beast tamer to use their tamed beast's abilities.
It must be said that the proud Master Yin standing before them indeed has the capital to be so proud.
Su Ping had never heard of such a skill.
Aside from innate talent, the abilities of human beast tamers, whether it's the soul contract for taming beasts or the beast taming space, are all related to mental capabilities. What kind of skill could help a beast tamer extend their lifespan?
Su Ping looked at Master Yin with doubt in his eyes.
If this ability were truly that heaven-defying, Master Yin's status should be even higher, right?
However, based on his observations over the past few days, although Master Yin holds a lofty position within the Breeder Association, he seems to fall short compared to the previous Master Zhu Hong.
Master Zhu Hong was the real vice president with actual authority, and he had sufficient power to mobilize many affairs within the association. This time, Master Zhu Hong's beast, the Golden Shadow Ghoul, had been promoted, and although he himself had not yet broken through, it was estimated that it would only be a matter of a few years before his status rose even higher.
In comparison, Master Yin was undoubtedly inferior to Master Zhu Hong.
Thinking of Master Yin's purpose for coming this time, Su Ping's heart stirred slightly, and he vaguely understood something, but he was still uncertain.
Seeing Su Ping's bewildered expression, Master Yin was evidently very satisfied. He coughed lightly again and then said, "The favor I want to ask of you, Su Ping, involves my super-tier skill!"
"Oh?"
Su Ping muttered to himself, thinking that it was indeed heaven-defying.
If it were truly so heaven-defying, Master Yin would have already treated it as a national treasure, and it wouldn't be like it is now.
This so-called super-tier skill for extending lifespan must have significant drawbacks and flaws.
However, Su Ping's heart was also slightly delighted.
For him, the more research on super-tier skills, the better.
Not only would it bring countless benefits to his breeding and enhancement, but it would also greatly help in illuminating the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex and the development of the Heart of All Spirits.
Most importantly, Master Yin's super-tier skill was not like Master Liu Fu Hai's, which had no clues at all. Instead, it was a skill with some substance.
If possible, the general experience of the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex would be enough to produce results! With this thought, Su Ping didn't even hesitate:
"Please tell me, and I'll listen. As I said before, if I can help, I won't refuse."
Upon hearing these words, Master Yin slightly relaxed, and with a thought, the mental power of an Imperial Beast Tamer was released, instantly enveloping Su Ping's entire room to prevent the information from spreading.
Then, a dazzling light appeared, and a bizarre beast emerged before Su Ping's eyes.
No, this wasn't a beast.
It seemed to be a living person.
Su Ping stared, unable to react for a moment.
The person had pale skin without a trace of blood color.
Their expressionless face, with hair as black as ink reaching their waist, was dressed in modern attire. At first glance, they appeared to be a charming woman in her thirties or forties, but the deathly aura and icy coldness that permeated their entire body indicated that this wasn't a person but more like a corpse.
Fortunately, Su Ping had somewhat expected this type of undead beast.
He quickly regained his composure and thought of a very special Eastern undead beast.
"Is this... a Painted Skin Ghost?"
Su Ping asked, somewhat bewildered.
Master Yin smiled and nodded, "To be precise, it's the Imperial Evolution of the Painted Skin Ghost, the Faceless Ghost King!"
"Faceless Ghost King?"
Su Ping scratched his head, clearly having no understanding of this peculiar Imperial beast.
"That's right. This evolution is one of the new evolutions I developed when I advanced to a Senior Breeder! And this super-tier skill is a special super-tier skill on the Faceless Ghost King: Faceless Rebirth!"
"Faceless Rebirth..."
Hearing this name, Su Ping could vaguely guess some things.
"That's right! The Faceless Ghost King's super-tier skill allows it to use its abilities to create a human shell and then transfer the beast tamer's soul into it, thereby achieving lifespan extension."
Master Yin explained.
Su Ping licked his dry lips and asked, "How much lifespan can be extended with each new shell?"
"It's not just lifespan extension. After undergoing Faceless Rebirth, even fatal injuries can be completely healed! As long as the soul isn't extinguished, recovery is possible. As for lifespan extension, it depends on the grade and materials of the shell created by the Faceless Ghost King."
"Usually, the lifespan extension effect is about one to five years!"
One to five years?
It seems that it's possible! Su Ping slightly squinted his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel a not-so-good premonition just by hearing the name of the skill. It was evident that creating such a shell would be no easy task.
However, Su Ping didn't rush to ask questions. Instead, he looked at Yin Luo's body with great interest: "Master Yin, is this body also a replacement shell?"
Yin Luo helplessly nodded: "This is my fifth shell. Back then, I was also a handsome young man..."
Perhaps there was also a pretty and coquettish young girl...
Su Ping silently mocked in his heart, but his face didn't show a trace of it.
"When I first tried to cultivate this advanced skill effect, I voluntarily changed three shells. Later, during an attack by enemies from outside the territory, I suffered some fatal injuries and changed to another shell. But let's not talk about that shell... After that, I changed to the current one..."
As expected, the breeder was the first experimental subject in perfecting the skill.
"So, you've probably extended your lifespan by at most twenty-five years? That doesn't seem too bad."
Master Yin smiled bitterly: "It's not that simple. Moreover, even if we consider the lifespan limit of a hundred years for a mid-to-high-level Beast Tamer, the cost of such lifespan extension is not without consequences!"
Master Yin's spiritual power suddenly surged as he continued to ask:
"Su Ping, what level do you think I am now?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, sensing Master Yin's spiritual fluctuations: "Emperor Second Rank?"
Master Yin's age, while not reaching the life limit, was still considerable.
He was in his sixties or seventies, and according to the theory that the older one gets, the more difficult it is to break through the Divine Spirit Realm, it would be challenging to reach the Divine Spirit Realm.
After all, not everyone can be like Charles, breaking through the Divine Spirit Realm at the age of 120.
Master Yin's next words further confirmed Su Ping's thoughts:
"Indeed, before I tried using Faceless Rebirth, my meditation realm had already reached Emperor Seventh Rank over ten years ago!"
"Hmm?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
"That's right. Every time this skill is used, not only does the beast's level decrease, but the Beast Tamer's level also drops by one! But that's not the most important part. The most crucial thing is that after so many years, I've never tried to break through again! Not even by one level!
At the same time, I'm not sure, but I estimate with an eighty percent chance that once it's used again, after falling from the Emperor Rank, I won't be able to use this skill again."
"This..."
Su Ping's mouth twitched. This skill...
Seems a bit useless? He thought for a moment and asked again: "Can Faceless Ghost King grant Faceless Rebirth to Beast Tamers other than itself?"
Master Yin shook his head: "It can only be used by the Beast Tamer himself. This requires the Beast Tamer's spiritual power and Faceless Ghost King to establish a soul contract for symbiosis. Other Beast Tamers can't do it."
Okay, Su Ping could now say that this skill was indeed quite useless.
Read the correct version on 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar first novel.
After using it, you can no longer upgrade your level.
Even if you calculate it at the highest level of Emperor Tenth Rank Peak when using it, you can use it at most ten times.
Ten times, at most, is fifty years?
Hmm, that doesn't seem too bad. At the very least, it seems like you can live fifty years longer.
Of course, this is the maximum, and the minimum is only ten years.
But no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem to have much significance. You still need to cultivate the 'Faceless Ghost King' beast yourself, and its combat power is unknown. It's just a precaution in case you can't break through the Divine Spirit Realm.
But if you've reached the peak of the Emperor Rank, why not try to break through the Divine Spirit Realm?
Once successful, that's when the lifespan extension truly takes effect.
Using this skill is like completely giving up the possibility of ascending.
For some Beast Tamers who aren't too concerned about combat, it might be useful. However, at the Emperor Rank level, this advanced skill is indeed quite useless among the useless ones.
Especially when compared to Charles' unknown method of modifying the Lich Soul Cage, the effect of Faceless Rebirth is too ordinary.
The reason it can become an advanced skill is purely because the skill's inherent ability is indeed significant, wondrous, and sufficient to become a means for those with no way out to prolong their lives.
As he thought about it, Su Ping finally understood the other party's intentions.
"So, you want me to work with you to further improve the Faceless Reincarnation skill?"
"That's right! This is the culmination of my life's work, but the Faceless Reincarnation skill has too many restrictions and limitations for Beast Tamers. Unless they're truly desperate, few would choose this path."
"Even if they do, it's difficult to truly succeed. After all, you need to re-contract and breed a Faceless Ghost King of the Emperor Rank! If we can solve this issue of the Faceless Reincarnation skill reducing the ranks of both the contracted beast and the Beast Tamer..."
Yin Luo's idea was indeed excellent.
If they could truly overcome this flaw, then the Skin-Changing Female Ghoul, a unique undead-type contracted beast from the East, would undoubtedly have its strategic value and significance greatly enhanced, just like the Paper Folding Man.
Of course, it couldn't reach the level of the Paper Folding Man, as their target audiences were different.
However, in the eyes of high-end Beast Tamers, the value of the Skin-Changing Female Ghoul might be even higher.
If it weren't for the rank advancement restriction, possessing this ability would be equivalent to immortality, wouldn't it?
As soon as these two words appeared in his mind, Su Ping's heart stirred unconsciously.
However, this was obviously impossible.
Su Ping was certain that even if there was a method for immortality in this world, it definitely wouldn't be achieved through such means.
So, he sighed:
"Master Yin, you're giving me too much credit. This is an advanced skill, a brand new field that I've never ventured into before!"
"Hehe, you're still young. Your future holds countless wonders to behold. Undead-type contracted beasts are the most unique. If possible, delving deeply into them will undoubtedly yield greater rewards! Although mechanical-type beasts are currently the global focus, with all countries on Blue Star primarily focused on mechanical research, undead-type beasts have existed for a long time, and there's more experience to draw from."
Master Yin Luo quickly added.
Su Ping thought for a moment and said:
"How about this? If possible, you can teach me the breeding method for the Faceless Ghost King's evolved form. When I return to Jianghai, I'll have time to breed some Skin-Changing Female Ghouls and give it a try! As for the advanced Faceless Reincarnation skill, it's a significant matter. When you have time, come to Jianghai, and we can discuss it together. After all, the priority right now is the breeding of the Heavenly Tomb's Special Forces."
Master Yin Luo pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Alright! After the situation in Beiyuan stabilizes, I'll find an opportunity to visit you in Jianghai!"
He indeed didn't have time to go to Jianghai, and even if he were more generous, he wouldn't directly give Su Ping all the breeding methods for Faceless Reincarnation. However, the breeding method for the Faceless Ghost King's evolved form was relatively insignificant compared to their identities.
There was still plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush.
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that the focus of breeders worldwide is primarily on mechanical-type beasts. Is there something special about that?"
"It's simple. Over a hundred years ago, when Blue Star fully entered the industrial era, various applications of electromagnetic forces led to the emergence of mechanical cores, making mechanical-type contracted beasts the darlings of the past century.
But it's been over a hundred years! After so much time, various mechanical evolved forms have emerged in abundance, and some exceptional mechanical breeders have even developed advanced skills for mechanical-type beasts.
Yet, in over a hundred years, not a single advanced skill for mechanical-type beasts has reached the Hall of Fame level! Currently, the top mechanical breeders in the major Beast Taming countries on Blue Star are in fierce competition, each vying to take the lead."
"..."
...
The conversation with Master Yin Luo continued for several days.
Master Yin Luo wasn't in a hurry to leave the Rong Family.
He knew that in a few days, after the matters in the Rong Family were settled, Su Ping would be leaving Beiyuan.
During these few days, apart from exchanging breeding insights, Master Yin Luo primarily focused on one thing.
That was to impart his breeding experience with the Faceless Ghost King to Su Ping.
With the guidance of the founder of undead breeding, Su Ping gained a profound understanding and knowledge of the Skin-Changing Female Ghoul and the Faceless Ghost King.
And so, time slowly passed, and finally, the day of the opening of the Rong Family's Five Sacred Secret Realm arrived.
Everything should be fine now, and updates can resume!
