Chapter 395: Master Su! Dragon Spirit Panlong Ancient Tea Tree!
Chapter 395: Master Su! Dragon Spirit Panlong Ancient Tea Tree!
"You're here."
Meng Huangliang smiled and greeted the arriving Su Ping.
He didn't seem like a madman or a lunatic; he was just a 'normal' person with a limited self-perception.
His emotions were stable, and his mind was sharp.
The only thing that set him apart from ordinary people was his unwavering belief that the world was false and non-existent.
Everything else seemed no different from a normal person.
Su Ping smiled and said,
"My apologies, Senior Meng. I said I'd come to see you yesterday, but some matters delayed me. And I've just finished setting up the Dream Heart."
Meng Huangliang shook his head, clearly not bothered.
Or perhaps, in Su Ping's perception, the self he recognized was merely an external manifestation of his will.
This image, whether it was Su Ping, Long Er, or Ah Mei outside, was anyone.
Their appearances differed, but in his eyes, they were all the same person.
Even in his view, Su Ping's words were meant to confuse him.
He was even less likely to care.
He didn't have the slightest curiosity about the so-called Dream Heart that Su Ping mentioned.
Although the word 'dream' was involved, it was a field he was most interested in and adept at.
He calmly stared at the young man before him, wanting to see what new tricks this so-called 'Cunning Eagle' from the outside world had up his sleeve.
However, this time, Su Ping didn't continue beating around the bush with unnecessary chatter.
Instead, a flash of light in his hand revealed a strange, pitch-black object in his palm.
This helmet, with only some ventilation and no eyeholes, would render the wearer blind if worn. What was it for?
But soon, Su Ping understood. In this dream, he wouldn't be curious about anything or anyone.
At the same time, with powerful self-hypnosis, he could keep the secrets he knew to himself and prevent enemies from discovering them.
He calmly watched Su Ping holding the object, his calmness unshakable.
Su Ping didn't mind Meng Huangliang's expression and just smiled slightly.
"This is the gift I mentioned the other day. It's a little toy my pet beast developed independently.
It's also a Mental Clan pet beast, and Dream is an extension of the Mental Clan. This thing is called Dream Heart. Although it's different from the real Dream World, it's mainly based on a world formed by virtual networks.
But it's quite interesting."
Hmm?
Meng Huangliang frowned slightly, then glanced at it and ignored it:
"Forget it. Various kinds of mental hypnosis won't work on me. Once I entered this dream, I sealed my memories with mental power. If you try to force a search, my soul will directly disintegrate. It won't have any effect!"
Su Ping's mouth twitched.
But he didn't bother to argue:
"If you're bored here, you can try entering the Dream Heart. I have no ill intentions.
I won't tell you that this isn't a dream but reality. I'm genuinely interested in this field.
Dream spirit and real matter have a progressive relationship. Once the dream directly impresses reality, it will be an unimaginable revolution for Mental Clan pet beasts!"
Meng Huangliang smiled:
"I believe you're here to cultivate pet beasts. Your current appearance is similar to mine back then. If not for that incident..."
Meng Huangliang's cheeks turned cold as he thought of something, then he returned to normal:
"Then, good luck."
Su Ping was startled but didn't care.
He didn't even have the mood to delve into Meng Huangliang's past or the important events in his memory.
Over the years, the experts focusing on Meng Huangliang's mental recovery had already tried various methods.
Relying on this aspect to treat him was purely a thankless task.
Thinking of this, Su Ping slowly stood up.
Perhaps the previous Meng Huangliang still had some leisure, or he was genuinely too bored and willing to chat more.
But at this moment, sensing his tone, the person before him obviously had no extra mood to continue speaking.
"Today, I mainly came to give you this gift. The final trial of the Dragon Capital Club's ultimate trial is about to start in the next two days, so I might not come during this time.
However, if you're bored, you can try the Dream Heart. Although you might not have much experience with online games at your age, you can pass the time with it.
That's it. I'll take my leave now."
After bidding farewell, Su Ping left the room with Long Er.
The door was sealed shut once more.
Meng Huangliang silently gazed at the pitch-black helmet resting on the table.
His slightly pale eyebrows furrowed together.
He reached out his hand, but the spiritual power and soul contract of an Imperial Beastmaster at the peak of the Imperial Rank were sealed.
However, the physical strength of someone who had reached this level had long surpassed that of ordinary people.
This was clearly something the outside world was unaware of, a ploy to lure him into a trap. How could he possibly fall for it?
But...
Meng Huangliang thought about the boy's words from earlier and fell into deep contemplation.
...
"Su Ping, is Colonel Meng really going to enter the Dream Heart?" Long Er asked, a rare initiative from him as they exited the Life Source Rehabilitation Hospital.
Su Ping was slightly startled, then shook his head:
"I don't know about that, but I took a brief look earlier. Colonel Meng was brought back from the Eagle Nation fifteen years ago, and he's already in his fifties now.
He spent twenty years undercover in the Eagle Nation, and after returning home, he was imprisoned for fifteen years. The best years of his life were suppressed and crazy.
To become an Imperial Beastmaster in his thirties, nearing forty, his talent must have been extraordinary, right? It's just a pity for him.
Even if it's not for that Advanced Skill of entering dreams, I still want to help this senior. Of course, even if he enters the Dream Heart, it doesn't mean he'll be able to help. But like I said, it's just to help this senior pass the time."
Long Er nodded, not speaking further.
Su Ping didn't ask any more questions.
Meng Huangliang must have had a special past; otherwise, the Dragon Nation's higher-ups would never have assigned such a dangerous task to someone like him.
But it was all in the past now.
Some people clearly distinguish between dreams and reality, while others do not.
Dragon Dynasty Club.
Su Ping stopped and stretched lazily.
"Let's go to the Skill Training Room. The final trial is the day after tomorrow, so we need to prepare in these last few days."
Feeling the intense battle between Qian Yi and Xiao Qing in the space, Su Ping was speechless.
It was only because his Beastmaster space was stable.
Otherwise, these two little ones would have caused chaos sooner or later.
Even now, many resources in the green grass wilderness born from the ecological cycle had been destroyed.
Fortunately, the two little fellows had some restraint, and the Yu Huo Zhi Yu, where the Flame Fruits were born, remained unaffected.
Other people's companion beasts were like close comrades were good friends and intimate partners.
But these two little fellows were different. Aside from fighting, they had almost no contact, each practicing their skills separately.
However, Su Ping didn't mind.
This kind of competition was a good thing.
Nevertheless, as soon as he entered the reception hall of the Dragon Dynasty Club, he noticed a special scene.
Numerous figures stood in the periphery, while two figures sat in the center, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the middle.
The owner of the Dragon Dynasty Club, Wang Delong of the Wang family, stood cautiously behind the two figures, bowing and scraping, appearing slightly comical.
These two figures were clearly waiting for someone.
And as soon as Su Ping and Long Er entered, the eyes of the two figures in the center lit up.
One of them was someone Su Ping was all too familiar with.
It was none other than Master Zhu Hong, who had been showcasing his influence in the Imperial Capital since their arrival.
Su Ping deeply understood just how formidable this person was in the Imperial Capital.
It could be said that ordinary Holy Spirit-ranked beings in the Imperial Capital didn't have as much face as this person.
As for the other person, Su Ping had caught a glimpse of him once before.
But it wasn't in some random place.
It was in the textbook of the sixth grade.
Su Ping's eyes widened. Although he had seen the Holy Dragon Legend before, seeing this person again also stirred his heart.
"Su Ping, you're finally back. Wu Kuang said you returned from the Mechanic Beast Association an hour ago. Elder Feng and I have been waiting here for an hour."
Master Zhu Hong chuckled.
Indeed, at this moment, standing beside Master Zhu was an elderly man with white hair and beard, resembling an ancient immortal. He was none other than the president of the Dragon Nation's Cultivation Association.
At the same time, he was also the president of the Cultivation Master Association and the Hall-ranked Cultivation Master, Feng Ya.
"It's my fault, I had something urgent to attend to and went out for a while. You should have told me beforehand, Elder Feng. And no matter what, I should have visited you first."
"Haha, I finally finished my business today. But you, I heard you had some ideas and results in the Mechanic Beast Association! So I told Xiao Hong not to disturb you."
Feng Ya smiled.
Su Ping had nothing to be proud of regarding this person.
After all, this person had also left his name in the Hall-ranked Cultivation Master and was said to have reached the Holy Spirit peak a long time ago.
In the Beastmaster Association, there was a highly respected senior member. According to Old Liu's gossip, during the last internal election, this senior member wanted to step down and pass the baton to Zhu Hong, but they were persuaded to stay.
"Then why don't you go in and wait there as well...?"
Su Ping glanced at the many people in the reception hall.
He truly didn't want to continue being the center of attention.
Recently, his name had likely become one of the most renowned in the Imperial Capital.
This had attracted all sorts of people who wanted to catch a glimpse of him, making him feel a bit annoyed.
The arrival of this senior member had clearly added fuel to his fame once again.
This was evident from the gazes of the others directed at him.
Especially after hearing that he had achieved some new results at the Mechanic Beast Association, this was even more so.
"Alright, Wang, find us a tea room!"
"Hey, please follow me, Masters."
Wang Delong personally took on the role of a receptionist, leading the way respectfully.
But Su Ping smiled and said:
"Manager Wang, I'm not really a master!"
Wang Delong gave a wry smile, not saying much more. He led the three of them to a guest room. As he was about to brew tea personally, Old Feng took out a jade box from his beastmaster space:
"I heard from Ah Sang that Su Ping loves tea. Today, I'm treating the rising star of our Dragon Nation's breeding master community to tea."
Su Ping was startled, and Zhu Hong's eyes lit up:
"Old Feng, this is..."
"You're not missing out. You're about to advance to the Holy Spirit Rank, so this tea won't make much difference to you."
Old Feng chuckled and handed the tea to Wang Delong.
"Hehe, looks like we're in for a treat today. Thank you, President Feng."
Zhu Hong licked his lips, making Su Ping curious. With this person's status, what kind of tea could be so impressive?
Old Feng took the initiative to explain:
"Panlong Bodhi Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. It's a plant-type, wood-attribute Holy Spirit Rank existence in the Dragon City Emerald Dreamland. Its combat power is extremely low, but as a special resource-type Holy Spirit Beast, the tea leaves it produces have extraordinary effects.
The stimulation and enhancement of spiritual power are just side benefits. The main effect is that it can improve a beastmaster's talent, although not as effective as the Heart Fruit. However, it works subtly and gradually.
At the same time, it can also speed up meditation and even improve the feedback from soul connections. Of course, the last effect is relatively less noticeable."
Su Ping couldn't help but be amazed.
Was this the depth of Dragon City?
A Holy Spirit Rank Dragon Tea Tree?
Could a tea tree become a Dragon Companion?
Well, perhaps not in the strictest sense, but it might be a quasi-dragon species beast, and this rank was already considered heaven-defying.
Su Ping also became slightly excited.
Soon, Wang Delong carefully brewed a pot of tea.
The mist seemed to carry the sound of dragon roars, and dragon shapes seemed to rise into the sky.
Taking a sip, Su Ping closed his eyes.
It wasn't about the taste, which was already indescribable with its unique yet not overpowering fragrance.
But as the tea went down, an indescribable sense of clarity and enlightenment spread throughout his body. The realm he had just broken through a few days ago shifted again, reaching the pinnacle of the Tenth Stage of Command.
Even the aura of Qian Yi, who was currently in a fierce battle, was also affected, rising layer by layer.
It was only because Xiao Qing was suppressing it that it didn't improve.
As for talent and other aspects, Su Ping obviously didn't have the mood to carefully sense them at the moment.
Opening his eyes, he looked at the two smiling figures.
"Thank you, Senior."
"It's nothing. Last time, the Holy Dragon said he forgot to treat you, so I'm making up for it now. But according to the legend and my own opinion, we shouldn't make too much noise about it. And I heard you don't like such high-profile affairs, so I'll do it here. Let me help you put it on!"
As he spoke, Old Feng took the purple nameplate representing the title of Breeding Master and placed it on Su Ping's chest.
Wang Delong, who was standing beside them, finally found an opportunity to speak up and smiled:
"Master Su, this time, I can finally call you Master, right?"
