Chapter 334: Ancient Elixir Formula! Xiao Huomiao's Reward!
Chapter 334: Ancient Elixir Formula! Xiao Huomiao's Reward!
Su Ping stared intently at the scene before him, eagerly anticipating this moment.
However, after witnessing the Flame Sovereign Fire Spirit devouring one of its own kind, the changes were not as significant as he had expected.
Su Ping pondered as Xiao Huomiao approached the fire spirit that had given up resistance.
The firebird, which had previously transformed from a condensed body, reverted to a raging flame.
It then moved towards the fire spirit, enveloping and devouring it.
As the flames merged, it was a fusion of elemental bodies, leaving nothing to say.
In less than thirty seconds, the two flames had become one.
They were integrated once again.
The color of the flames remained unchanged.
The fiery red, tinged with orange and yellow, represented the purest power of the flames.
However, compared to before, it seemed to have grown by about a circle.
From the previous thumbnail size, it had transformed into the size of a thumb.
The most significant change was not in its external physique but in its aura and realm.
Through mutual devouring, the fastest way for this little thing to improve was evident. Its realm rapidly ascended from its previous level, climbing all the way to the ordinary peak.
It was just one step away from advancing to the elite rank.
At the same time, the two Blue Feathered Flame Crows also looked at Xiao Huomiao in the center with a bewildered expression, seemingly confused by the situation's transformation.
However, soon after, Xiao Huomiao, having finished devouring, transformed back into its original firebird form. It glanced at the Blue Feathered Flame Crows surrounding it, nodding in satisfaction:
"Sssss..."
After receiving Xiao Huomiao's command, the two Blue Feathered Flame Crows immediately understood. They turned towards the Little Crow, which was still burning with dark flames, and hobbled over, following behind it like obedient little brothers.
Ya Ya, with its flame wings, scratched its head in a human-like gesture, seemingly unsure about the sudden docility of its two previous opponents.
Xiao Huomiao, however, paid no heed. Its fiery red eyes turned towards Su Ping, who also looked at the transformed Xiao Huomiao, his True Vision already locked onto it.
【Mutation: True Spirit Flame (Wild)】
【Attribute: Fire】
【Current Level: Ordinary Tenth Rank】
【Race Potential: ????】
【Skills: Burn (Beginner), Elemental Body (Beginner), Flame Soul (Special)】
There weren't any significant changes; it only gained a new skill called 'Flame Soul,' which Su Ping couldn't fathom at his current level.
Observing Xiao Huomiao's appearance, Su Ping raised his eyebrows:
"Little guy, are you okay?"
"Sssss... (I remember... some things... so strange...)"
Xiao Huomiao's response relieved Su Ping.
Apparently, its self-awareness hadn't been affected.
However, as Su Ping had anticipated, the Flame Sovereign's resurrection and continuous devouring would cause its memories to resurface.
During this process, one particular matter would come into play.
The previous fire spirit, with its confused demeanor, was one thing.
These memories, even from the ancient era of the Flame Sovereign's resurrection, would shape its character and consciousness.
Thus, the Flame Sovereign would achieve a true phoenix-like rebirth.
But Xiao Huomiao was different!
Xiao Huomiao's consciousness was awakened through a different method, forcibly stimulated by the Green Demon Spring Ginseng.
It had a clear concept of 'self.'
Would these memories affect Xiao Huomiao's self-awareness?
Despite the Flame Sovereign's deep-rooted hatred towards humans, which had already significantly influenced Xiao Huomiao's birth, Su Ping could discern that the current Xiao Huomiao seemed like an entirely new companion beast.
Su Ping pursed his lips as he thought about this.
However, even with this knowledge, there was nothing he could do at the moment. Moreover, it was uncertain whether Xiao Huomiao itself would care about this situation.
As Su Ping pondered these thoughts, Xiao Huomiao's voice sounded again.
"Sssss... (Human... thank you... for the devouring... I want to repay you...)"
Su Ping snapped back to attention, looking at the serious little guy with fiery eyes:
"I told you, it's fine the first time. We can talk about repayment later!"
"Sssss... (No! Human... don't become a companion beast... I want to repay you...)"
This little thing was quite stubborn.
However, it was this very stubbornness that made Su Ping worry about whether he could successfully convince it to become his companion beast in the future.
Su Ping sighed and nodded.
"Fine, then what can you offer me in return?"
Xiao Huomiao tilted her head, her fiery red eyes seeming to enter a state of contemplation.
Soon, her voice sounded again.
"Ssss... (In the memories I saw, there's something useful...)"
Hmm? Su Ping, who was initially indifferent, suddenly became serious. Memories?
That's right, after devouring the other Flame Sovereign Fire Spirits, Xiao Huomiao would awaken her memories.
These memories contained the secrets and treasures of the ancient Flame Sovereign, a legendary fire-type companion beast, and the fire totem of the ancient tribe that preceded the Great Qiyan Dynasty.
How many secrets and treasures were hidden in these memories?
At this thought, Su Ping couldn't help but feel excited.
He looked at Xiao Huomiao.
Xiao Huomiao flapped her wings and landed on Su Ping's palm.
Just as Su Ping was feeling a bit confused, a connection formed through spiritual communication, and Xiao Huomiao didn't speak again. Instead, she sent something from her spirit.
It was a special formula.
It wasn't a breeding method for a fire-type companion beast, nor was it a skill cultivation method. However, after carefully examining it, Su Ping was stunned.
"Ssss... (The treasure in the memories... very important... human, my reward... how about it?)"
Xiao Huomiao's voice, with a hint of pride, sounded again.
Su Ping snapped back to attention and looked at the little creature.
"Little one, do you have any more of these?"
"Ssss... (Memories... just one...)"
Su Ping wasn't disappointed by Xiao Huomiao's response.
But when he thought about the item she had just mentioned, his heart still couldn't help but stir.
Indeed, this was a formula! However, it was a formula for a potion.
Yes, another potion formula.
But compared to the potions he had previously bred, like the Wolf Heart and the Illusion Heart, this one was far more powerful.
Even the Wood Heart, bred from the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, couldn't compare to this potion.
After all, while the Wood Heart skill was powerful, it could only be learned by the Forest Wolf when it consumed the potion.
However, this potion could be used by all fire-type companion beasts.
True Flame Soup
This was the name of the formula Xiao Huomiao had transmitted.
A special potion for fire-type companion beasts.
This potion had only one effect.
It could increase the temperature of the fire-type companion beast's flames.
Yes, just this simple effect.
But Su Ping couldn't quite believe it.
Fire-type companion beasts were known for their conventional attributes, destructive power, and the strongest attack strength.
The temperature of the flames represented the attack intensity of the fire-type companion beasts.
The output of fire-type energy could naturally affect the flame's temperature to some extent, and many fire-type companion beasts had unique skills to amplify the flame's temperature.
However, increasing energy output could only raise the flame's temperature within certain limits.
The amplification from unique skills was even rarer, and breeding such skills was extremely difficult.
Yet, this ancient potion formula, named 'True Flame Soup', permanently increased the upper limit of the fire-type companion beast's temperature when consumed, and it also aided in boundary advancement.
It was like a divine elixir.
Even within the Breeder Association, such potion formulas were not widely circulated.
In fact, the secrecy surrounding potion formulas might be even stricter than breeding methods.
Officially, there was a higher emphasis on breeding methods, and even if they were leaked, not everyone could replicate them.
However, mature and complete potion formulas could be mass-produced.
Some companies treated their researched potion formulas as top-secret patents.
These were the real money-making assets.
But as Su Ping carefully sensed the value of this item, his eyelids twitched again, and he gained a rough understanding of its worth.
Although he would need to try it out to be sure, it seemed to be effective.
The only issue was the ingredients required for its creation...
The rest were manageable.
Perhaps the names of the materials were different in the ancient era, but from Xiao Huomiao's transmitted information, Su Ping could deduce the corresponding resources needed.
But what is this 'Ancient Flame'? Does such a resource even exist? Su Ping was perplexed.
And it's called 'Ancient Flame'? If this name was used during the era of the Flame Sovereign, how ancient would it have to be? Could it be an extinct resource? Compared to Companion Beasts, resource extinction is also a reality that has occurred throughout history.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly. If this was indeed the case, he feared he would need to spend some time trying to find an alternative resource.
So, after glancing at Little Flame, Su Ping decided to voice his confusion: "Little one, what is this 'Ancient Flame' thing?"
As soon as the question left his mouth, Little Flame tilted her head slightly, and her red eyes looked at Su Ping strangely, as if she had never expected Su Ping to ask such a question.
"Ssssss (Edible... Fire...)"
Edible fire?
Su Ping immediately thought of something, and with a thought, the Beast Taming Space's spatial abilities activated once again.
A Flame Fruit instantly materialized in his hand.
After the bright red Flame Fruit appeared in his hand, not only Little Flame but also Little Crow and even the two Blue Feathered Flame Crows beside them raised their heads to look at the fruit.
"Is this the Ancient Flame?" Su Ping asked, a little belatedly.
"Ssssss!"
From Little Flame's mouth, Su Ping received an affirmative answer.
This True Flame Soup required the Flame Fruit as a material. Could it be that only he could make this thing?
Moreover, the name 'Ancient Flame' seemed to refer to the gradually disappearing flame energy that Su Ping had been speculating about, which caused many Companion Beasts to degenerate.
However, during that era, there were still many remnants of this flame on Blue Star, but by now, it had mostly disappeared.
Only Su Ping, relying on his spatial abilities, had mysteriously acquired the Flame Sovereign's birth secret realm and obtained this space with the ability to produce such energy.
Su Ping's heart was filled with inexplicable joy, as this unique possession of his had great research value.
With this in mind, Su Ping stopped wasting time and led his numerous Companion Beasts back into the Ten Thousand Spirits Heart.
The Blue Feathered Flame Crows had now become Little Crow's subordinates, and the Phoenix Heart welcomed new members.
Clearly, as the Bird King, Little Crow had gained a lot of experience in training these wild birds and immediately took them away for a good scolding.
Su Ping, under the dark night sky, returned to the Ten Thousand Spirits Heart and then directly entered another biological laboratory.
This True Flame Soup was very interesting.
Coincidentally, he currently needed some research direction in the fire element.
If he could replicate it, it would not only have breeding value but also high commercial value.
It was the same as the value of the Wolf Heart; it could definitely improve the strength of fire-type Companion Beasts to a certain extent.
With this in mind, Su Ping began to carefully study the recipe while logging into the computer beside him to search for corresponding ancient period material resources and compare them with modern ones to see if there were any differences. Simultaneously, he started to gather the required resources.
After several hours, Su Ping reached into his pocket, only to realize that his phone was not there. He then remembered that he had left his phone in the Evolution Detection Lab and was too lazy to go back. Instead, he called out:
"Chubby!"
"Yes!"
As expected, Chubby connected the local network of the Ten Thousand Spirits Heart, and even without a speaker, he could sense it through their soul connection.
"Tell Uncle Guan to bring me the Ash Branch, Fire Stone, Fiery Essence... and all the Dragonline resources we have from Ordinary Rank to Monarch Rank, to this laboratory."
"Yes, sir!"
...
Late at night.
Ye Zhou was still staring at his phone, redialing every twenty minutes.
However, the result was always the same—a long, unanswered call.
Ye Zhou's eyes turned red.
If it weren't for the lack of available trains or flights at this time, Ye Zhou would have rushed from Demon City to Linzhou.
This brat had whetted his appetite and then disappeared? Even if he was undergoing Ancestral Regression to evolve into the Dark Inferno Ancient Crow, could he really be gone for such a long time?
Are there modern people who don't check their phones for more than ten hours?
Damn it!!!
