Chapter 328: Refinement Requirements! Old Liu's Super Skill Research!

Chapter 328: Refinement Requirements! Old Liu's Super Skill Research!

A faint light emerged from the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex, and in the next moment, the most unique spirit codex within it appeared in Su Ping's mental perception.

It was a divine dragon hidden within the clouds!

Its noble and powerful gaze looked down upon everything in the world with disdain.

This was the spirit codex of the divine dragon, which had been lit up by Su Ping's close encounter with Big Yellow the last time.

A special prompt appeared, "Discovery of the 'Rainbow Dragon' theory of special breeding evolution for the Divine Dragon Clan. Unable to fully refine it for now. Will gradually refine over time. Collecting information on this evolution method will accelerate the process.

Interacting with Dragon-type entities will also accelerate this process and provide a certain amount of knowledge in this field, reducing the required experience for future refinement."

Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed. This type of prompt was not uncommon. When Xiao Qing became Su Ping's beast, the first time the Forest Wolf spirit codex was lit up, a similar message appeared in the analysis of Xiao Qing's mutation within the spirit codex.

Later, as time passed, Xiao Qing continuously used poison-type resources, causing the analysis of Xiao Qing's poison mutation to consume experience points, and the value also gradually decreased.

Finally, over two months ago, the analysis was completed.

And now, the Rainbow Dragon was the same?

However, the problem was that the Rainbow Coral Worm was not the Forest Wolf, and there weren't as many of them as the Forest Wolf. It was impossible to refine such evolution information through time and feeding resources.

Of course, interacting with Dragon-type entities didn't just mean Dragon-type beasts. Perhaps Dragon-type resources would also have an effect?

For example, in this log, the Dragon Blood Fruit was mentioned multiple times, as well as some resources obtained from the dragon's body? These were all worth trying.

The question was whether the Breeder Association had such resources.

However, even the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex couldn't completely refine the evolution method of the Rainbow Dragon.

Could it be that even his external cheat couldn't work on this breeding method? Su Ping felt a bit disappointed.

After all, as the Ray Saint had said, the Rainbow Coral Worm had the potential to evolve into a Rainbow Dragon.

But at this moment, right after the prompt on the Divine Dragon spirit codex, another prompt appeared: "Based on the discovered evolution method of the Rainbow Dragon, the first stage of Dragon Transformation can be refined, requiring 1500 points of Divine Dragon Clan spirit codex experience."

Su Ping was speechless.

Was it necessary to take a breath like that? Although it wasn't like the previous evolution methods that could be directly refined, the evolution of the Rainbow Dragon itself was composed of multiple stages, so it was understandable that it couldn't be completely refined all at once.

However, refining the first stage of evolution should be feasible.

The problem now was the experience cost of refining the first stage.

1500 points of experience was not a large amount in any single spirit codex, and if the intimacy level was high enough, it might even be accumulated within a few days.

But unfortunately, this was a dragon!

When the Divine Dragon Clan spirit codex was lit up earlier, the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex had already given the most intuitive feedback.

The Divine Dragon Clan was the rarest race among beasts, and their experience points were extremely precious. When converting to universal experience points, the exchange rate was 1:1.

So, these 1500 points of Divine Dragon Clan spirit codex experience were equivalent to 1500 points of universal experience.

If converted using Forest Wolf spirit codex experience, it would require 15,000 points of Forest Wolf experience to complete the refinement.

And that was just for the first stage of evolution; who knew how much more would be needed for the subsequent stages.

Such a massive experience cost was the highest Su Ping had encountered, except for the refinement of his external incarnation.

However, the experience cost for the external incarnation had two additional benefits:

First, the evolution of the Sun Core and the cultivation of the Zhou Tian Five Elements Body were completed, which granted Su Ping a large amount of universal experience. This allowed the exchange for the external incarnation to proceed smoothly.

Otherwise, 3000 points of universal experience would have taken Su Ping a long time to accumulate.

Now, in this regard, he was starting from scratch.

Even if he used Forest Wolf experience to convert to universal experience, he had almost used it all up when refining the Frosty Fog Lock Jiang Pine.

So, at this moment, looking at the first stage of evolution refinement for the Rainbow Coral Worm, Su Ping could only watch helplessly.

However, the Origami Man's spirit codex had accumulated quite a bit of experience. In fact, during this period, the Origami Man's spirit codex experience had increased even more than the Forest Wolf's.

This was because, apart from the Origami Men being prepared to evolve from Overlord-rank to Monarch-rank, many Origami Men were training with Qian Yi in the Beast Taming Realm, unlike the Forest Wolf, which was mainly trained and cultivated in the Wood of the Heart.

Especially with the upcoming evolution of the Thorn Wolf and the training of the wolf pack, Su Ping was busy with preparations.

But the experience of the Origami Man had already reached a high level due to almost daily contact.

It wouldn't take long for the Origami Man's spirit codex to reach the requirements for upgrading to LV4.

If the requirements for the Origami Man's evolution to LV5 were similar to those of the Forest Wolf, the Origami Man's evolution would be much more convenient.

The evolution of various elemental Origami Men could allow the Origami Man's spirit codex to reach LV5 at the fastest speed.

Su Ping didn't know what the effect of an LV5 spirit codex would be, but it was clear from the LV4 ability to directly raise the beast's realm through spiritual power that the benefits of spirit codex upgrades for beast cultivation were unimaginable.

In this situation, Su Ping was reluctant to continue sacrificing the Origami Codex.

Moreover, although the Rainbow Dragon was important, the truth was that the long-term cultivation of the Heavenly Tomb was, in fact, Su Ping's most crucial task! It was one of his top priorities.

So, how could he quickly obtain a large amount of general experience points? Aside from converting them from the Forest Wolf, he could also cultivate some results that could grant general experience points.

However, it was easier said than done.

General experience-granting results were mainly the two Super Rank skills he cultivated himself.

Once the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex's perfection effect was used, just like the previous perfection of the External Incarnation, even if they were cultivated, they would not gain any general experience points.

Therefore, to achieve such a harvest, there was only one method—to work hard himself.

But the Sun Core and the Zhou Tian Five Elements Body, one was due to his good luck and the chemical reaction between the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf and the Wood Core, while the other was unexpectedly obtaining the inheritance of Xue Hongluan.

For him to create a brand new Super Rank skill from scratch was not as simple as it sounded; otherwise, there wouldn't be so few master breeders in the world.

Not to mention, he currently had no leads, and although he had some ideas, most of them were just vague notions.

The most straightforward approach was Xiao Qing's Super Rank cultivation of the Poison Wood Core.

Unfortunately, the Sun Core on Old Sha's body and the mutated Poison Wood Core had nothing in common, and it would be like a pipe dream to try cultivating a Super Rank skill with such limited experience.

Su Ping rubbed his temples as he thought about this.

He was indeed too hasty.

According to what Ray Saint said, the Rainbow Coral Worm had about a year of lifespan left. As long as it evolved within this year, that would be fine, and there was no need to rush.

With 15,000 experience points converted from the Forest Wolf, if all went well, it would take less than half a year, especially since the Forest Wolf's experience gain would naturally be higher than before during the upcoming cultivation process.

With this thought, Su Ping's heart gradually calmed down.

He slowly removed the USB drive, and all the information about the Rainbow Dragon was stored in Su Ping's heart, so there was nothing else to look at.

He thought of Ray Saint, who had just been here, and turned to look at Fei Fei beside him:

"Fei Fei, what have you been up to recently?"

"Master! I've been working on the content of the Dream Heart, as well as creating a website and forum for it."

"Creating a website and forum?"

This time, Su Ping was indeed taken aback.

Well, this could be considered a serious matter.

However, with the current user base of the Dream Heart, what was the point of making these things?

Su Ping thought for a moment and entered Fei Fei's website URL on his computer, accessing the website and forum of the Dream Heart.

To his surprise, the interface was clean, simple, and refreshing.

The design style was high-end, and the overall look was quite eye-catching.

Su Ping casually clicked on a few options and was further surprised to see that there were videos among the official settings, in addition to the usual images and text.

These videos were like 3D animations, featuring the stories of the few NPCs in the Dream Heart, some monster plots, and they were indeed lifelike.

"Fei Fei, did you spend all the pocket money I gave you on these? But these are normal expenses, and you can ask me for more if you need it."

Su Ping glanced at the videos, which were, of course, impressive.

On the forum, many players were discussing, although most of them were just armchair gamers. The high price of the Dream Heart was not something that ordinary people could afford.

However, as a virtual game, its popularity remained high.

Even though they couldn't play it, they could still discuss it.

Moreover, there were live streams, and Yin Yin's live stream was quite successful, serving as a gathering place for those who couldn't play the Dream Heart.

She had become a top streamer.

However, Su Ping didn't pay much attention to these matters.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Fei Fei, are you really not interested in combat? Do you prefer to keep doing these things?"

"I like doing these things, but it's not that I'm not interested in combat; it's just that I can't fight... But in the Dream Heart, I can also fight, so it's not a problem."

Fei Fei's voice replied.

Mechanical beasts were also alive, and seeing the significantly increased combat power of Qian Yi and Xiao Qing after their evolution, it was impossible for Fei Fei to have no thoughts about it.

Su Ping nodded, "In the next two days, you can work on the public virtual helmet for the Dream Heart. After I finish with some recent matters, I'll bring over a few truly awakened mechanical core beasts."

"Ah! Yes!"

"Okay, I'll check on the changes and improvements to the Dream Heart later tonight. You can start researching, and if you need anything, just contact me directly from your phone."

After leaving Fei Fei in the mechanical laboratory, Su Ping returned to the Water Core.

He estimated that Old Qin would come looking for him, probably with some business.

Su Ping had another idea in mind.

Qin Er Long had a Wood Dragon, and although Old Qin kept it hidden and rarely summoned it, Su Ping wondered if he could convince him to bring it out and establish a relationship with him. "Old Qin, what brings you here?"

When Su Ping returned to the Water Core, Old Qin was chatting casually with Shangguan Ye nearby.

Hearing Su Ping's return, Old Qin smiled slightly, "I don't have anything major, but after the middle of this year, the Jianghai Advanced Beastmaster Academy will be on the agenda. I just wanted to ask if you'd like to be a professor in the cultivation department or something?"

"Ah... Elder Qin, I'm afraid I don't have much time."

Su Ping revealed a troubled expression.

He had no intention of wasting his time teaching and mentoring others; there was no need for it.

Moreover, in many cases, it was easy to misguide others, and his methods were not suitable for everyone.

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually! But there's no rush now, we can talk about it after the construction is complete. It's just that Elder Liu also has something to discuss with you, but since you've been busy after returning, he didn't want to disturb you. Is the matter with the Ray Saint resolved?"

"Yes, it's just a minor issue. What does Elder Liu want to talk to me about?"

"Do you have time now? If you do, it's best to go to the Breeder Association. Let him discuss it with you in detail. It seems to be related to the super-rank skill he's been researching for some time, and he has made some progress and wants to share his thoughts with you."

"Hmm?"

This time, Su Ping's eyes lit up.

Liu Fuhai had mentioned to him the matter of the Ice Fang White Wolf's super-rank skill breeding.

However, Su Ping had been too busy to focus on it as his primary research.

But if Elder Liu had made some headway, and he could be involved, perhaps he could also gain a large amount of general experience points after the breeding was complete.

Moreover, it was indeed a good time for him to visit the Breeder Association and see if there were any resources related to the so-called Dragon Series.

However, on second thought, it seemed that Li Shu had just gone to the Breeder Association with Zhao Qingqing to take the breeder qualification exam, right?

Su Ping nodded:

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go to the Breeder Association first. Senior Shangguan, I'll continue with you after I return."

As Su Ping was being sent to the Breeder Association center, at that very moment, in the distant East Sea...

On a small island that Su Ping was very familiar with, two silhouettes stood.

Yan Xun Island.

The island left behind by the ancient human tribes, containing the Xuan Snake Secret Realm.

Only a few dozen miles away from Jianghai.

One of the silhouettes was none other than the Sea King Yaksha who had previously fought with the Ray Saint.

The other silhouette was an extremely peculiar figure.

It was as if a water flow had condensed into a virtual human form.

The face, appearance, and even the body shape were constantly flowing and changing, making it difficult to discern.

"Your Highness! Over there, that's the current Nine Provinces Dragon Country."

"The potential of the human tribes is truly terrifying! In a thousand years, they have reached such a level, worthy of..."

The blurry shadow did not continue to speak in the snake language.

"Your Highness, what about the human before..."

"I will go find that human. This time, with my strength and memories restored to less than one percent, it's indeed not appropriate to conflict with the human tribes. Moreover, the revival of the Flame Saint is of utmost importance!"

The silhouette continued calmly.

"But, Your Highness, entering the Nine Provinces..."

"Rest assured!"

After speaking, the silhouette's body swayed slightly.

It actually transformed into two completely different water flow beings.

One was a human with a fish tail, the upper body as white as condensed fat, with an incredibly beautiful face, and the lower body a deep blue mermaid.

The other was a deep blue water flow giant snake coiled up.

"I'll trouble you to go to the Nine Provinces Dragon Country this time!"

The water flow giant snake continued speaking in the snake language to the mermaid:

"I'll stay in the East Sea and the Endless Sea, gathering the lost sea god's power, striving to restore my strength to its peak as soon as possible!"

"You and I are one, no need for politeness. This time, apart from witnessing the top human tribes in the Nine Provinces, I also want to search for traces of the Flame Saint!"

The mermaid spoke.

"Indeed, although I've lost my memories, I vaguely remember that the Flame Saint's later fate was even worse than ours. I imagine that even if it revives, its strength will be even more pitiful than ours! If possible, it would be best to annihilate its origin at this time!"

"Okay."

After the giant snake spoke, the mermaid did not continue with idle chatter. Her body leaped, and in a few flashes amidst the water waves, she disappeared without a trace.

The Sea King Yaksha finally spoke in awe:

"Your Highness, is this the legendary Hall-rank super-rank skill 'Body Outside the Body'? Truly worthy of Your Highness, to have mastered such a skill!"

"Super-rank skill? Hall-rank?"

The deep blue giant snake was slightly taken aback.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it's the ultimate profound art! And Hall-rank, is the term used by the advanced beastmasters and breeders on Blue Star to refer to the ultimate profound arts of the top-notch group!"

"I see, interesting. The ultimate profound art, indeed. But the true Body Outside the Body, which doesn't require splitting the spirit and soul, thus avoiding the risk of the clone having independent thoughts and wisdom, and instead making the clone identical to the original,

and even if the original body perishes, the clone remains alive, ensuring the original's survival. Even in that era, it was an unimaginable divine art!"

The water flow giant snake, now in the form of a giant snake, sighed:

"If I could master this art completely, the outcome of the water and fire conflict would be uncertain! Perhaps, the path to godhood..."

Shaking his head, the deep blue giant snake stopped speaking, gazing at the distant Nine Provinces for a while before turning his head:

"Alright, let's return. Some things from the Endless Sea should be brought back by me."
