Chapter 309: Poison Saint and Ghost Saint! Mental Toxin!
Chapter 309: Poison Saint and Ghost Saint! Mental Toxin!
Within the Northern Border Legion headquarters, in the office located at the center of the vast front line, a place even Su Ping had never entered.
At this very moment, Leng Ye sat in the office, discussing with Yin Luo and Su An Yong about the allocation of members for the reconnaissance team.
Meanwhile, in front of this grand office, the Night Raven Puppet, adorned with black crow feathers, was demonstrating its full capabilities.
Aside from Su Ping, another cultivator, Jian Yue, was also present, understanding the initial planning for member allocation and cultivation within the legion.
Leng Ye nodded in satisfaction:
"Not bad at all. The death mutation cultivation of the Night Raven Puppet is indeed well-suited to the known environment of the Earth Tomb. What's more, the cultivation cycle isn't too long. If time permits, we can even advance the schedule and complete it earlier than planned."
Of course, it still depends on Su Ping's speed!"
Yin Luo also nodded in agreement: "But with Su Ping's rapid progress from cultivation to mutation, the time required might be even shorter. Speaking of which, Su Ping will be leaving the Northern Plains soon, right?"
Leng Ye hummed in response: "Xing Chen just told me that after exploring the Rong Family's Quintessence Sanctuary, he immediately left the Northern Plains with that kid."
"So soon?" Yin Master seemed a bit disappointed.
In the past few days, he had been frequently interacting with Su Ping, and during their time together, he had gained quite a few insights himself.
Leng Ye smiled with deep meaning, but he didn't hide anything. He glanced at Su An Yong, who was standing nearby:
"Xing Chen just told me that this little rascal couldn't stay put. He obtained all the Quintessence Eggs, and if he didn't leave, the Rong Family would have made trouble."
"Hmm..." Su An Yong opened his mouth.
However, just as he was about to respond, the tightly closed office door suddenly swung open.
A figure strode in without a care in the world.
Leng Ye's eyebrows furrowed instantly, and the temperature in the entire office dropped rapidly.
But when he saw the figure who had entered, he paused:
"Why are you here?"
Yin Luo and the unaware Jian Yue were also taken aback. The former was surprised, while the latter didn't recognize the newcomer.
As for Su An Yong, his pupils constricted slightly.
The newcomer was an extremely young figure.
At first glance, he seemed to be around the same age as Su Ping, but his attire was much more youthful than Su Ping's.
His long hair, dyed in various colors, was tied into small braids, and the bright makeup couldn't hide the youthfulness of his cheeks.
Underneath his pink suspender shorts, he wore a pair of strange yellow and black striped stockings, and on his feet were a pair of high-heeled boots.
It was clear that this young figure, dressed in such a way, stood in stark contrast to the atmosphere of the entire legion.
He didn't look like someone who would appear here; instead, he resembled a social spiritual delinquent who hadn't even graduated from the basic Beast Taming Academy.
However, not a single person dared to ignore this figure.
The girl-like figure glanced at the office and, with great interest, looked at Su An Yong, who was standing nearby. Only then did she grin and say:
"It's been a while since I've seen you, Old Ghost. Do you miss me?"
Leng Ye's face darkened.
Then, he introduced the person in front of him to Jian Yue:
"This is Poison Saint, who has been guarding the Yunnan-Tibet Region and the Ten Thousand Snake Nest."
Jian Yue's eyelids twitched, and he quickly realized what was happening. Along with Su An Yong, they hurriedly said:
"We've met Poison Saint."
The spiritual delinquent smiled mischievously, waved her hand, and looked at Su An Yong in front of her. Her colorful nails picked at Su An Yong's chin:
"An Yong, we meet again~ Be good~"
Su An Yong's face darkened, just like Leng Ye's.
Leng Ye coughed lightly and said:
"Alright, let's discuss the reconnaissance team's allocation later this evening. You two can leave now."
The three of them, including Yin Master, quickly left the office.
The room was now empty, leaving only Leng Ye and the 'Poison Saint' before him.
The latter didn't mind and directly propped her legs up, sitting in the office chair.
"You're here because of the Rong Family, right?"
Leng Ye looked at the person before him. It could be said that only three people could maintain their composure in front of him, and this person was one of them.
The girl nodded:
"Tsk, I just came back from the Rong Family. I watched a good show and gained quite a bit. It wasn't a wasted trip."
Leng Ye glanced at her: "You've been to the Rong Family? Did that big snake not discover you?"
"I didn't enter the sanctuary, so how could that big snake find me? Besides, even if it did, what could it do?"
Hey, the old master of the Rong family and that old Long Kingdom are quite interesting. They deliberately mentioned the Five Saints' inheritance, probably guessing that I would come and telling me about it.
They're like a thief ringing a bell to distract from their theft, but unfortunately, the Rong family doesn't even know what the Nanzhao King's inheritance is all about. I can see right through their little thoughts.
Oh, that show-off kid is probably An Yong and Rong's little brat, right?"
The girl seemed to remember something, and her eyes, adorned with purple contact lenses, lit up.
"Hmm! How's it going? Is Xiao Ping doing well?" Cold Grandpa asked with a smile.
"Yes, he's doing great. He has the same talent as Aguang back then."
The girl nodded in satisfaction.
Cold Grandpa rolled his eyes.
From any perspective, there seems to be a significant age gap between these two, right? It's a shame that this woman can blatantly lie like that.
"So, if Su Ping truly gained the Five Saints' recognition, does it mean he has obtained the Nanzhao King's inheritance?" Cold Grandpa suddenly asked.
"There's probably a 50-60% chance. It's a pity that if it were Aguang's kid... Tch, if someone from the Rong family had obtained it, I would have directly searched their soul..."
The girl sighed and shrugged her shoulders, her words chilling to the bone.
"So, why are you here this time?"
"Just passing by to see you and An Yong. Also, remind him that if he truly obtains the inheritance, he shouldn't come to Yunnan-Tibet alone!
If my guess is correct, and the secret treasure is real, the Nanzhao King's inheritance might be related to that place in the Western Desert Grassland. So, if this kid comes to Yunnan-Tibet, let me know, so we don't end up with the same fate as the old man and his grandson.
Among the descendants of the Wolf Pack, there's finally a decent one like this. It's a shame if he dies."
The girl put down her crossed legs and then waved goodbye.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Remember what I said."
Cold Grandpa watched the girl's departing figure without getting up to see her off. Their relationship didn't warrant such formalities.
Sitting on the desk, Cold Grandpa's mind wandered.
His thoughts returned to three or four decades ago, when he was in the Western Desert Grassland:
"Wolf Pack Special Forces... Tch, what a nostalgic name."
...
It's common knowledge that newborn pets have an extreme affinity and bond with the first living being they encounter.
Su Ping had experienced this before.
It was right after his graduation and awakening. Instead of rushing back to his family's Heart of Wood, he stayed in Linzhou City, renting a place and interning at various locations to gain experience with newborn pets.
However, during that time, the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits had never mentioned this condition.
After a while, Su Ping stopped paying attention to it.
Naturally, he didn't focus on this method of satisfying the pet's intimacy requirements.
But this time, with the Red Devil's hatching and its immediate satisfaction of the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits' conditions, caught Su Ping by surprise.
Su Ping didn't rush to observe this pink newborn snake but instead fell into deep thought.
The principle wasn't difficult to understand.
Within just a few minutes, Su Ping had reached a conclusion.
Read the flawless version on 69shu! 6=9+shu!
The reason why the newborn pets he encountered before didn't meet the intimacy requirements of the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits was likely due to their low potential and grade.
Race Potential represents a pet's grade.
The Devil Snake, according to Su Ping's search, is a high-grade pet race with a potential that reaches the Spirit Saint level, thanks to the Five Saints' Secret Realm.
This is an unimaginable boost.
If a weak pet encounters a living being, even with initial closeness, it's challenging to retain the memory.
Humans, in their infancy, can't preserve memories, only language habits and actions over long periods.
But high-grade pets are different.
So, the reason why the newborn pets Su Ping encountered before didn't satisfy the intimacy requirements was probably due to their low potential and grade?
Su Ping furrowed his brows. If this was the case, trying to quickly fulfill the remaining conditions of the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits was nothing but a pipe dream.
Shaking his head, Su Ping didn't worry about it.
While fulfilling the conditions of the Book could awaken various talents and allow for promotions, it was something he couldn't force.
He'd give it another try after returning to the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
(End of Chapter)
After making up his mind, Su Ping finally turned his gaze towards the little red snake in front of him.
The Real Eye activated instantly, focusing on the little red snake coiled around his hand, resembling a peculiar beaded snake.
【Red Devil - Special Mutant Devil Snake (Wild)】
【Attributes: Mental, Poison】
【Current Realm: Ordinary First Stage】
【Race Potential: Spirit Saint】
【Current Skill: Mental Toxin (Beginner)】
【Mental Toxin (Beginner): The Red Devil's innate skill, serving as the foundation for all subsequent skills. Its poison can be transmitted through mental power as a medium, making it an insidious threat.】
Observing this Red Devil and its innate skill, Su Ping couldn't help but feel intrigued.
This little guy seems quite promising, doesn't he?
Should I claim it for my old man?
Poison, as a relatively rare attribute, is powerful but unpleasant. However, it has one drawback: it's less effective against prepared opponents.
Infecting enemies with poison has always been a challenge for beastmasters and their pets.
But this mutant Devil Snake, now a Red Devil, has appeared in such a unique form, opening Su Ping's eyes to new possibilities.
Poison transmitted through mental power?
What kind of effect is this? Mental power is intangible and invisible, and as a human beastmaster, Su Ping has an exceptional understanding of mental power.
Indeed, this is impressive!
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, rubbing the little creature's head.
Its devilishly curled horn was hard but pleasant to touch.
Obedient and well-behaved, it was far better than the constantly noisy Little Flame. Although Little Flame's potential might be slightly higher.
But he can cultivate on his own, can't he?
Without further thought, Su Ping shook his head, deciding to leave it for later.
With a thought, Su Ping closed his eyes and re-entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Tome, focusing on the recently unlocked Devil Snake Tome.
【Tome: Devil Snake】
【Typically a poison and darkness (shadow) attribute monarch-level potential pet, this unique snake species is adorned with devilish patterns. Its small size classifies it as a miniature pet, but it possesses extreme toxicity, incredible speed, and is the ultimate assassin in the shadows!
Race Skills: Devil Venom, Shadow Strike, Snake Shadows...】
【Current Tome Level: 1 (350/500)】
Additional Cultivation Methods Unlocked:
【None】
Preferences and Habits:
【Prefers living in shadows, intensely dislikes sunlight. Possesses a natural inclination for ambushing and poisoning prey, making it an extremely dangerous pet. Shows the greatest appetite for fresh meat, especially fresh insect pets.】
Log Record:
【Discovered and interacted with a special mental attribute mutant bloodline 'Red Devil', fulfilling intimacy requirements. Tome experience +350!】
【This Devil Snake is a special mutant. Each day spent with it grants +5 tome experience. With each day, there's a chance to discover the reason for its bloodline mutation. Alternatively, a large amount of tome experience can be consumed to analyze the mutation.】
As expected.
The Red Devil itself bears no resemblance to the Devil Snake race.
How it mutated from a darkness attribute to its current mental attribute remains a mystery to outsiders.
In fact, as a cultivator, and a self-proclaimed exceptional one at that, Su Ping is naturally curious about the secrets of the Quintessence Sanctuary.
After nearly a hundred years with no news, the Quintessence Sanctuary produced five Quintessence Eggs.
Most of them possess Spirit Saint potential.
Such an opportunity would undoubtedly pique anyone's interest.
However, with no news from the Dragon Kingdom, Su Ping speculates that either the conditions are stringent and linked to the Quintessence Sanctuary itself, or they simply don't understand it.
But with the Ten Thousand Spirits Tome, perhaps one day, Su Ping can analyze and decipher this situation, just as he did with the Green Devil Spring.
At this thought, Su Ping's mind calmed, and he watched the little guy, deciding not to name it on behalf of his father.
The Red Devil, a unique mutant race, already has a suitable name.
Taking two strips of fresh meat from the Beast Space, Su Ping tossed them to the little creature, allowing it to play while he relaxed on the sofa, reading the Rong Family's precious beast cultivation heritage, passed down by his grandfather.
The Skyrend, with Zhao Qingqing already waiting in Linzhou, departed for the ocean, landing in Linzhou.
