Chapter 310: The Vein Seed? The Life Ancient Tree on the Verge of Death!

The Rong Family.

Among the ancient aristocratic families of the Dragon Nation, the Rong Family was undoubtedly one of the top-ranked.

Naturally, over the years, the Rong Family's heritage passed down through generations was truly extraordinary.

This book could be considered an encyclopedia for poison-type companion beasts!

Simultaneously, it extensively researched the seven major categories: snakes, pythons, spiders, centipedes, scorpions, toads, some fungus plants, and the now-extinct mouse-type companion beasts.

Within these pages, Su Ping recognized more than twenty different companion beast evolution bodies.

The significance of this was self-evident.

Su Ping was genuinely surprised that his maternal grandfather had given him such a substantial gift.

Even as his maternal grandfather had mentioned, the various cultivation methods of the Rong Family were also handed over and recorded in the Beastmaster Association's database. The Rong Family's exclusive evolution cultivation methods were likely only developed in the past twenty years.

However, even for those handed over, Su Ping would need to spend a significant amount of study points to exchange for them. With those study points, wouldn't it be better to exchange them for some precious resources?

It was a slight pity that Su Ping wasn't particularly interested in the companion beasts mentioned in the book, and he wouldn't be able to come into contact with them anytime soon.

However, there was one companion beast evolution body that Su Ping was familiar with.

The Cloud Pattern Python, an Overlord-potential companion beast, and its Monarch evolution body: the Poison Gale Demon Snake!

This evolution body, transitioning from Wood to Wind and Poison, piqued Su Ping's interest.

The Poison Gale Demon Snake was indeed one of the more technically challenging evolution bodies included in the Rong Family's heritage manual.

Nevertheless, Su Ping was slightly disappointed that the Rong Family's heritage manual did not contain cultivation methods for super-tier skills.

This was understandable, as super-tier skill cultivation methods were not only precious but also not something that ordinary people could possess.

Perhaps the Rong Family did have some, but it was unlikely they had something like the Sun Heart or the ability to cultivate a super-tier skill in a companion beast's lower levels, like the Zhou Tian Five Elements Body.

Even if they had reached the Imperial Rank or the Holy Spirit Level, such super-tier skills held no significance for Su Ping.

At this thought, Su Ping placed the Rong Family's heritage book into the Beast Taming Realm and glanced outside before standing up and stretching.

The Riftbreaker had already arrived at its destination.

At this moment, it was hovering at the highest helipad of the Cloud Heart within the Heart of All Spirits.

"Brother Xing, you didn't even tell me we'd arrived. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"I thought you were still resting. It's no big deal to wait a little longer!"

Xing Chen smiled and waved his hand.

Beside him, Zhao Qingqing quickly stood up and left the Pine Ridge Cabin, feeling a bit awkward as she faced Su Ping alone.

"Okay, thanks for making this trip. Cold Grandpa's private jet is indeed comfortable. I wonder when I'll have one of my own."

Su Ping was half-joking, half-envious.

"With your abilities, it won't be long."

"Then I'll take your words as a blessing. Alright, I won't waste any more of your time."

After bidding farewell to Xing Chen, Su Ping descended from the Riftbreaker and stood atop the Cloud Heart, gazing down at the Heart of All Spirits, which he had left for half a month. He let out a long sigh.

Home was still the best!

As the Riftbreaker took off, Su Ping smiled at Zhao Qingqing:

"Miss Zhao, you should rest for a day. The Ten Thousand Trees Wolf and the Cloud Pattern Python won't be completed in just ten days or half a month."

Zhao Qingqing nodded eagerly:

"I understand. Please rest assured! If you have any instructions, just tell me! I've had some experience with the cultivation of the Forest Wolf and the Cloud Pattern Python since I was young."

Zhao Qingqing wasn't foolish; she knew that her father had used the family's cultivation method to secure this opportunity for her.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow.

The Forest Wolf was one thing,

In his opinion, one dedicated cultivation master was sufficient for each companion beast type.

For the Forest Wolf, there were already Guan Lilily and Li Shu.

In fact, he was already considering that after this period of plant-type companion beast development, he would take Li Shu to study the evolution of plant companion beasts.

As for the Cloud Pattern Python, Zhao Qingqing surprisingly had some knowledge about it.

This made sense, as Su Ping suddenly recalled that when he first met this girl, she had a Cloud Pattern Python infant wrapped around her arm.

It was clear that this was her companion beast, and Su Ping couldn't help but smile at the memory.

Currently, the snake and python-type companion beasts he was cultivating were the Black Water Mystic Snake and the Cloud Pattern Python, with the potential addition of a Devil Snake due to the Red Devil's appearance.

He was very satisfied to have someone capable of cultivating the Cloud Pattern Python.

Especially since he currently possessed two evolution bodies for the Cloud Pattern Python: the Cloud Wing Wood Dragon from the Mystic Snake Realm and the Poison Gale Demon Snake from the Rong Family.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Just as he was thinking, Guan Qiushan, whom he hadn't seen for half a month, arrived.

"Xiao Ping!"

Su Ping nodded and introduced Zhao Qingqing to Uncle Guan. After sending someone to show Zhao Qingqing to her temporary accommodation, Su Ping finally asked Uncle Guan as they walked out of the Cloud Heart building,

"How has the Heart of All Spirits been in the past half month?"

"There haven't been any major issues externally. Even if there were, they were all minor and not worth mentioning. However, there is something I need to report regarding the internal development of the Heart of All Spirits."

Although Su Ping felt a bit helpless about his little ancestor's straightforwardness, Old Guan maintained his composure and replied,

"What?"

Su Ping glanced at Old Guan.

To be honest, he had only been away for half a month.

In such a short time, it was already impressive for him to have designed the Earth Heart, let alone its development.

The same was true for the Soul Heart.

Construction and decoration were one aspect, and pet training also required a considerable amount of time. Naturally, there wouldn't be any significant situations to mention.

Indeed, as expected, Old Guan looked around and then whispered,

"Xiao Ping, do you still remember that piece of land with a special magnetic field? I just received a confirmed report yesterday that there might be a small area of newly born Metamagnetic Shock Gold veins about fifty meters underground. It's quite possible."

"Metamagnetic Shock Gold veins!"

"Hmm?"

Su Ping was slightly startled.

Metallic objects were something he rarely dealt with. At first, he couldn't think of what it was, but soon, he suddenly widened his eyes,

"Metamagnetic Shock Gold? A wild, natural gold-type resource of Monarch rank? And it's a vein seed?"

"That's right! But it's not yet fully confirmed."

After hearing the confirmation from Old Guan, Su Ping's eyebrows raised, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

If it were the Su Ping of the past, who was as poor as a church mouse, he would have rolled up his sleeves and dug it out himself.

Although it didn't seem to have a significant impact, it was estimated that several tons could still be produced.

However, with his current wealth, it wasn't worth the effort.

The value of vein seeds was precious.

On Blue Planet, gold and earth mineral resources didn't naturally form over millions of years like the vast ocean and land. In most cases, when energy elements in the air were highly concentrated, such resources would condense.

Minerals would start from a tiny seed core, gradually absorbing surrounding gold and earth energy, and then, over a long period, they would condense and spread.

The value of these Metamagnetic Shock Gold veins was high, even without considering the formed Metamagnetic Shock Gold around them. Just a single vein seed was so valuable that it could be comparable to three to five resources of Imperial rank.

The reason was simple. These veins could be transferred into a Beastmaster's Beast Taming Realm.

If the Beast Taming Realm had metallic resource characteristics, it could accelerate the birth of Metamagnetic Shock Gold by countless times.

Many resources in those secret realms were transferred in this way.

However, there was a problem. Su Ping couldn't transfer it even if he wanted to.

"Metamagnetic shock gold vein seed.

response.

But...

Su Ping suddenly said, "Speaking of which, isn't Metamagnetic Shock Gold a special metal with magnetic properties?"

"That's right. During the exploration, many detection instruments couldn't be used. If we hadn't spared any expense in excavation, it would have been difficult to detect it even now."

"Metamagnetic Shock Gold can be used by amplifying magnetic interference through electromagnetic force, so why don't we set up a large gravity chamber near the Heart of Water!"

"A gravity chamber?"

Old Guan was startled and scratched his head.

"Yes. There are also quite a few pets that rely on tempering the body, although there aren't any like the Heart of All Spirits here right now. But it's better to be prepared."

Su Ping thought for a moment.

Previously, at the Demon Capital Academy, there were such special training rooms.

But then, Su Ping thought again,

"Of course, let's continue the exploration and ask some professionals before making a decision. Anyway, that thing is so deep underground; it won't go anywhere."

After all, Old Guan's tone wasn't very certain.

Although Old Guan was reliable, Su Ping still needed to be 100% sure.

Moreover, in reality, a gravity chamber wasn't very suitable. Metamagnetic Shock Gold was indeed a necessary building material.

But using a vein seed for this purpose would be a waste of resources, right?

Shaking his head, Su Ping said,

"How has the Phoenix Heart's Yaya been doing?"

Ever since the last time Yaya's rescue plan encountered problems, Su Ping had conducted special training for this little one and those flying bird-type pets numerous times. Only after confining them in the Beast Taming Realm's little black house was he able to barely tame some of their wildness.

So, during this period, the one he was most concerned about was this little guy.

However, what Su Ping didn't expect was that Uncle Guan shook his head:

"Actually, no. If you hadn't asked, I would have mentioned it myself. Recently, that little black raven has been in a somewhat special state. Its appetite has weakened compared to before, and it doesn't move around much. It has been on the Hundred Birds Paulownia Tree these days.

I also asked the Companion Beastmasters of the Heart of All Spirits, and they said the little guy isn't sick or injured. They don't know much more."

"Hmm?"

Su Ping's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

YaYa's condition isn't good?

Could it be that the little guy is upset because of the previous scolding?

But that doesn't seem possible, as it was fine before I left?

However, before Su Ping could think more about it, Uncle Guan paused and then spoke again:

"There's another matter. The Life Ancient Tree in the Forest Heart isn't doing too well either..."

Su Ping looked at Uncle Guan speechlessly.

Is this called no problem?

The last time he returned from the capital, he encountered the little raven and developed the Five Elements Body, which were all good things. Why is everything the opposite this time?

"What's wrong with the Life Ancient Tree? Forget it, let's go and take a look directly!"

Su Ping could guess some of it.

The last time, the Life Ancient Tree, which had been injured to the point of death, was forcibly given a lease on life by Old Sha using the power of Natural Speech. Old Sha forcibly transferred his own life force into the Life Ancient Tree's body.

Now, more than half a year has passed. Old Sha, with the Sun Heart, is fine, but it's clear that this method is like drinking poison to quench thirst for the Life Ancient Tree!

Even if Old Sha continues to transfer life force, it's unlikely to have the same effect as before.

During this time, Su Ping hasn't found any good methods to extend the Life Ancient Tree's life.

Indeed, as expected.

Upon returning to the Forest Heart, Su Ping didn't even have time to settle in before he hurriedly came here.

This time, the Life Ancient Tree didn't tell the other plant-type Companion Beasts in the Forest Heart. Only Uncle Guan, who patrolled every few days, noticed something was wrong.

However, when Su Ping arrived, he immediately saw that the Life Ancient Tree's condition was even more serious than Uncle Guan had described.

After arriving, Uncle Guan didn't enter the Life Ancient Tree's domain and waited on the mountain path of the Forest Heart.

As soon as Su Ping arrived, the face on the tree trunk appeared:

"Little guy, you're back!"

In response to the Life Ancient Tree's inquiry, Su Ping saw at a glance: "Senior Life Ancient Tree, your condition..."

"Ha ha, life, aging, illness, and death are normal in humans, and it's the same for me. To see these little ones living so well with you before I die, I can die without regrets."

The old face on the tree trunk smiled and slowly said:

"So, this time, I didn't show my weakening life force to those little ones. Their habitat is now stable, and moving their roots recklessly would affect their future growth... Sorry, but I'll have to trouble you to inform the little ones when the time comes..."

The Life Ancient Tree had never been so talkative before. Clearly, it was already 'entrusting its legacy' after Su Ping's return.

However, at this moment, Su Ping lowered his head, deep in thought.

"Although I've said it many times, I still want to say it one last time, little guy. Thank you for finding a home for those little ones. After I'm gone, you can take my life tree seeds and branches. They are still somewhat useful resources... as a token of gratitude..."

Su Ping looked up, slightly relieved, and then smiled:

"Senior Life Ancient Tree, I don't have the habit of using the remains of my own family members. Moreover, I've never liked delivering bad news. For my sake, please try to live on a bit longer."

Then, Su Ping waved his hand, and a bright light appeared.

The Life Ancient Tree chuckled as it saw the appearance of the forest wolf:

"It's no use. I know my own condition. Even the life force transfer from last time couldn't save me..."

However, before it could finish speaking, a green shadow from Little Green gently swayed, and a drop of emerald green sap flew into the Life Ancient Tree's roots.

Almost instantly!

The roots, which were already decaying and dead, rejuvenated at an unimaginable speed.

The Life Ancient Tree's words of entrusting its legacy were cut off, and the kind face on the tree trunk froze.

No, it can't die now?

Then weren't those words of entrusting its legacy very awkward?
