Chapter 423: Farming-type Companion Beast! Ancient Mythical Legend!
Chapter 423: Farming-type Companion Beast! Ancient Mythical Legend!
Although Meng Yao was reluctant, he eventually faced everyone's gaze and took out something from the Beast Taming Space, handing it to Su Ping:
"Su Ping, this is what I used for the bet. It's the severed arm of a Saint-level ferocious beast, the Sea King Yaksha, which contains extremely rich water-type energy. I traded it with Yuan Sheng for a Purple Heaven Thunder Fruit, so I got a great deal. Consider this a gift to you."
Looking at the sealed arm, Su Ping actually wanted to refuse directly, but at this moment, refusing would obviously be a bit disrespectful to Meng Yao, the Elder Ray Saint. He nodded, indicating his acceptance.
Compared to the severed arm of the Sea King Yaksha, Su Ping was more interested in another item at this moment.
It was a Wraith Companion Beast, but unlike a human-shaped ghost or spirit, it was just a ball of energy with no discernible form or facial features.
If someone told Su Ping that this was just a low-level, ordinary-grade Wraith Companion Beast, he would have believed it.
However, it was impossible for Lord Leng to fool Su Ping with something ordinary.
An Imperial-level Extreme Yin Ground-bound Spirit cub?
Seemingly understanding Su Ping's interest, Lord Leng, who was standing beside him, explained:
"Brat, the Extreme Yin Ground-bound Spirit is different from ordinary Wraith Companion Beasts. If it wants to grow smoothly from a cub, it needs to fuse with a Yin Ghost Mansion as its Ground-bound Spirit.
The Yin Ghost Mansion can be an ordinary terrain, or it can be cultivated into a Yin Ghost Mansion through the cultivation of Wraith-type beasts. The higher the quality of the Yin Ghost Mansion, the better the effect, and the faster the growth and greater the benefits for the Ground-bound Spirit."
"Yin Ghost Mansion?"
Su Ping was taken aback again.
Lord Leng quickly explained:
"It's a type of Spirit Land, but you probably don't have any plant-type Companion Beasts, so you might not know much about them. In this regard, Mulberry Saint has a lot of experience."
Mulberry Saint nodded:
"In the cultivation of plant-type Companion Beasts, aside from resources and evolutionary cultivation, the most important aspect is the growth environment of the Spirit Land. The Yin Ghost Mansion is a sub-attribute of the Spirit Land, specifically supporting the growth and birth of Wraith-type beasts."
Lord Leng continued, "The Extreme Yin Ground-bound Spirit can forcefully transform a region into a Ground-bound Spirit Yin Ghost Mansion, permanently and significantly increasing the negative energy of Wraith-type beasts. At the same time, their combat strength is quite good within the bound Yin Ghost Mansion."
"However, the main ability of the Extreme Yin Ground-bound Spirit is to nurture Wraith-type Companion Beasts with skills like 'Nurture the Dead,' accelerating their growth, and even generating some Wraith-type resources. Combined with the fused Yin Ghost Mansion, the effect is extremely remarkable."
"But the drawback is also obvious. Once the main body leaves the bound Yin Ghost Mansion, its combat strength will decrease, and the further it goes, the lower its combat strength."
Hearing this, Su Ping's eyes lit up:
"A farming-type Wraith Companion Beast?"
Lord Leng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Su Ping's statement:
"Yes, you could say that."
This time, Su Ping's gaze towards the Extreme Yin Ground-bound Spirit became much more enthusiastic.
Perfect, the Heart of Souls within the Heart of All Spirits was indeed lacking a high-level Wraith-type Companion Beast for cultivation.
This Ground-bound Spirit was indeed a very suitable choice.
However, from what Lord Leng had just said, it seemed that improving the Yin Ghost Mansion with Wraith-type beasts would be even better.
Su Ping was satisfied as he put the little guy into his Beast Taming Space.
He then turned to look at the few people present.
He knew that they hadn't summoned him just for the bet.
Indeed, Lord Leng's expression turned slightly solemn, and he sighed:
"In the previous rules, the one who obtained the first place in this Young Beastmaster Competition would receive a special reward in addition to the Spirit Flame Seed and the Dragon Companion."
Su Ping's eyes lit up again.
"It's not just a reward, but a special task. The revival of the Water Sovereign has led to the Endless Sea..."
Elder Feng smiled and began to speak.
However, before he could finish, a crisp voice interrupted him. It was a voice that was all too familiar, yet it plunged the office into a deathly silence:
"Su Ping, there's been a sudden change of plans. Come to Dragon City tomorrow, and I'll personally explain everything to you! Also, the Dragon Companion you chose has returned."
The voice came and went, leaving no trace behind, as if it had never been there.
It was clear that the words of the Divine Dragon Legend had stunned the solemn-faced group, leaving them momentarily speechless.
After a brief pause, Elder Feng continued:
"Never mind, let's not waste any more time. Su Ping, prepare to visit Dragon City again tomorrow."
His words broke the thoughts of the others, and Su Ping was also a bit puzzled. Nonetheless, he nodded in agreement.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave,
but soon, Sage Wu Kuang directly spoke up:
"Since the competition has concluded successfully, I also have some matters to attend to. Everyone, I'll take my leave. Oh, and..."
As the mechanical armor enveloped Sage Wu Kuang, the Mechanical Association's Sage Kuang turned to Su Ping beside him:
"Su Ping, this is the latest research achievement from the Association. Your previous assistance was of great significance to the Mechanical Association, so consider this a gift to you."
Afterwards, Wu Kuang tossed over a small ball.
Su Ping didn't react in time, but still hurriedly caught it.
On the ball, the words "Mini Gravity Compression Device" were written in large characters.
After taking a look, Su Ping understood and smiled: "Thank you, Saint Wu."
"It's fine, I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
The others nodded, and it was clear that they had all noticed that Saint Wu seemed to have something on his mind.
"What's wrong with Wu Kuang? He usually loves to make bets, but today he seems absent-minded."
Yuan Saint looked at Wu Kuang, who had flown away through the sky window, with some surprise.
"Who knows?"
It was clear that the people present weren't particularly curious, and were just making small talk.
At this point, it was already quite late.
The group, including Yuan Saint, Feng Lao, and others, took their leave one by one.
Soon, the large broadcast office was left with only Su Ping and Lord Leng.
"Su Ping, how does it feel to have come in first?" Lord Leng asked with a smile.
Su Ping nodded: "It's not bad!"
"It's already done, so I won't say anything else. You take care of yourself, but remember one thing: you don't need to take unnecessary risks! Although it's true that a Beastmaster's growth can be accelerated through battles and life-or-death struggles, you don't need to take that risk with your talent. If someone tries to force you, just refuse directly, it's no big deal."
Lord Leng's voice became slightly lower towards the end, and he sighed: "It's just the Tomb of the Heavens..."
His voice was icy cold, but also helpless.
Su Ping didn't mind, and instead comforted Lord Leng: "Don't worry, that Tomb of the Heavens is just a restriction on the entry of Monarch-level Beastmasters. As long as it's restricted by level, I'm not afraid! I'm the first Young Overlord-level Beastmaster, and when I reach the Monarch level, I'll still be first! Since someone from the Eagle Nation can explore the Tomb of the Heavens, I have nothing to fear!"
Lord Leng chuckled: "Good kid, you have the same air as I did back in the day. However, I didn't expect this, and your father's side... "
Su Ping raised an eyebrow: "Is it normal for Su An to enter the Tomb of the Heavens in the future?"
Lord Leng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Did he tell you?"
Su Ping shook his head: "I guessed."
Lord Leng nodded: "There's no hard requirement for him to enter the Tomb of the Heavens. He's an instructor, not a team leader, and doesn't have to enter the Tomb of the Heavens. However, he's been practicing in a special secret realm, suppressing his realm advancement."
Su Ping thought for a moment and then smiled: "Lord Leng, can I ask you for a favor... "
Lord Leng's expression changed, and he said, "This... fine, kid..."
In the dark, virtual city, which seemed to have no trace of time, a figure clad in a mechanical Beastmaster armor arrived quickly at a high platform.
A calm voice rang out: "Why have you come?"
Wu Kuang retracted his mechanical Beastmaster armor and approached the figure, frowning: "I've discovered something unusual and want to report it to you."
"Speak," the figure replied, still not looking up.
The figure was watching a video of Su Ping's battle against Ye Zou.
This wasn't unusual, as many people in the Dragon Nation, or even the entire world, might be watching this video.
However, the figure's focus was different from the others.
The others were paying attention to the invincible paper figure, Qian Yi, and the attention-grabbing sudden breakthrough.
But the figure was calmly watching Su Ping's other, relatively unremarkable Beastmaster, Xiao Qing.
Especially at the end of the video, when the countless clones exploded and entered Xiao Qing's body, making its aura exceptionally strong.
The figure's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and its piercing eyes seemed to reveal a hint of confusion.
Wu Kuang didn't notice and continued: "Sir, the sixth-place winner of this professional assessment, Shen Fu from the Mountain River Group, has a mechanical Beastmaster that seems off."
As these words left his mouth, the man finally lifted his gaze, his pitch-black pupils fixing on the other.
The latter continued, "The transforming Judgement Angel model, the mechanical blueprints, their operating principles seem somewhat different from our Dragon Nation's Beast Taming research, and the breakthrough technology is immense, a little like..."
The man's eyes remained calm, his gaze returning to the battle scene before him, but he still responded indifferently, "So Mountain River Group has joined the Golden Heart project? Tsk, these guys can actually bring out some capital. They're not afraid of wasting resources on this?"
His words were indifferent, and as they left his mouth, a faint aura seemed to gather in the void, only to disappear the next second.
The Mad Saint's brows furrowed, "If Mountain River Group has made a breakthrough in the core technology of Beast Taming blueprints, they must have offered an impressive contribution to the Golden Heart project. Perhaps they even hold shares..."
The man nodded, but he didn't seem to mind, "It's only natural. I suppose that's the case."
"Thankfully, those little guys are competent. Otherwise, if they were to obtain a Dragon Companion because of this, it would be a significant loss."
The Mad Saint sighed, and in his blood-red laser eyes, a cold, sinister light flashed, "Sir, should we..."
The man waved his hand, "You go ahead."
The Mad Saint was taken aback, nodded, and turned to leave.
Only the legendary figure on the Dragon Platform remained, and as he pondered, a hint of interest appeared on his face, "Let's see what tricks you can come up with in the end."
Then, his gaze refocused on the video of Little Qing.
This figure, unmoved even by the collapse of Mount Tai, suddenly furrowed his brows, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in a special space.
In this space, strange books stood on the shelves.
A voice suddenly sounded after the man's appearance, and it was none other than the strange Candle Dragon from before, "Why are you here again? Has the little guy arrived?"
"Not yet, but I've already told Su Ping, and he'll be coming tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll let you sleep for now."
The old dragon's face disappeared without a trace.
The man didn't mind and soon arrived at a shelf, taking out a special ledger.
This ledger was obviously ancient, bearing the marks of time and age.
Only the unique material prevented it from drying out and crumbling.
He opened it and quickly located a special position, looking at the patterns and ancient serpentine inscriptions on the ledger.
It was a strange, verdant plant.
Although it was a plant, its swaying body seemed like a verdant, otherworldly flame.
"Verdant Demon Spring Ginseng, Wood-type, Legendary-grade resource..."
The man spoke softly, a hint of surprise in his voice, and after looking for a while, he moved on without finding any more useful information.
Especially after searching through the books on clone-type skills and the section on 'External Avatars', he still couldn't find anything related to the Verdant Demon Spring Ginseng.
The man was slightly disappointed and, as he walked and stopped, casually took out an even more ancient and special book of records to browse.
Of course, the serpentine inscriptions on this book were more like some unrelated stories.
The content he browsed through had nothing to do with what he was looking for.
It was just a way to pass the time.
However, the story seemed quite interesting.
The man glanced through it, "This is an ancient story about the origin of plant-type Beast Companions."
According to legend, in the ancient times of Blue Star, plants were just plants, unlike other Beast Companions. They lacked powerful combat abilities, the ability to walk, and the qualifications to do so. Instead, they primarily existed as resources and food.
Even these plants rarely had wisdom or self-awareness.
But in the ancient times, a myth-level deity appeared, changing the rules of Blue Star and granting plants the ability to become Beast Companions and defend themselves.
It was one of the most unique and powerful myth-level deities in Blue Star's ancient legends.
This unrelated story, if not for the serpentine inscriptions in this ancient book, would likely be ignored as a ridiculous rumor.
Even the man before him didn't pay much attention.
However, this time, for some unknown reason, the legendary figure of the Sacred Dragon roughly skimmed through the book and, for some reason, remembered the name of this seemingly fabricated myth-level being, passed down in error:
'Spring God'.
