Chapter 428: New Memory! Fei Fei's Intelligence Quiz!
Chapter 428: New Memory! Fei Fei's Intelligence Quiz!
As Su Ping anxiously awaited, Xiao Huo Yan's motionless body began to stir once more.
The abstract flame face, resembling a human, seemed to burp.
Sensing Su Ping's gaze, Xiao Huo Yan directly appeared before him:
"Hissss! (I'm so full...)"
Su Ping smiled, of course, he was full. He had directly skipped several minor realms and reached the Elite Peak.
Such a breakthrough speed, applied to any beast companion, would be unimaginable.
Only this Flame Sovereign's split spirit could possess such a unique ability.
"How is it? Did you find any clues in the memories you obtained this time regarding the question I asked you last time?"
After defeating Chen Zhan yesterday and seeing Chen Zhan's Azure Dragon and Gale Thunder Wings, Su Ping inquired about the mysteries of this type of fusion in elemental beast companions like Xiao Huo Yan.
The Gale Thunder Elemental Spirit and the Thunder Elemental Spirit could actually combine with the Azure Dragon, a skill cultivation and usage mode far beyond Su Ping's comprehension.
He was very curious.
Despite the countless tasks and matters at hand, his innate curiosity as a breeder prompted him to seek answers whenever he encountered something of interest.
The result was rather helpless.
Xiao Huo Yan shook his head, indicating that the Flame Sovereign's memories obtained this time did not provide an answer to this question.
Su Ping sighed in disappointment, but quickly shook his head and returned to normal. After all, it was only reasonable that the Flame Sovereign's memories, filled with knowledge and secrets, would not grant him such good luck to find what he wanted.
So, he curiously asked:
"Then this time..."
Xiao Huo Yan's flame figure swayed:
"Hissss! (Human... Su Ping... we are... friends! Without you, it would be difficult for me to become the main body... friend, so I will be grateful to you!)"
As expected, a new memory was transmitted through Xiao Huo Yan's spiritual connection.
And this memory contained three things!
Apparently, Xiao Huo Yan's massive consumption had also awakened numerous Flame Sovereign memories.
These three things were quite evenly distributed.
But all were incredibly precious.
An ancient demonic potion formula!
A Flame-type spirit ground layout!
A Fire-type skill cultivation method!
Indeed.
His decision to keep Xiao Huo Yan was incredibly correct, not to mention the value of Xiao Huo Yan itself, but also the additional benefits were too numerous!
With Su Ping's knowledge, the items in this memory were far more valuable than the previous Burning Technique, not to mention he had never heard of them before.
There was a high possibility that they were lost ancient secrets.
However, the former two were impossible to replicate in the Imperial Capital, and Su Ping was not in a hurry.
The last Fire-type skill cultivation method was worth mentioning.
Because this was a skill that Su Ping was quite proficient in:
Flame Split Spirit!
Indeed, this was an extremely unique type of split spirit skill, seemingly sharing some similarities with the External Avatar, but its effectiveness was far inferior.
However, it also had some merits.
It could split into extremely tiny flames, difficult to detect, and could be used for reconnaissance, not to mention entering an enemy's body through their breath for an internal attack.
This was also the main reason it was called Flame Split Spirit rather than Flame Split Body.
It was a rather decent split spirit skill.
But for Su Ping, who had already mastered the External Avatar cultivation method, it was merely an added bonus.
Nevertheless, Su Ping smiled and condensed a Flame Fruit from his current stage and handed it to Xiao Huo Yan:
"Not bad, you've done well! Here you go! But remember, don't consume those other Flame Spirits too quickly. Rapid advancement isn't necessarily a good thing!"
His concern delighted Xiao Huo Yan, who nodded vigorously:
"Hissss! (Su Ping, you are a... good friend! If you don't force me... I will always be your friend...)"
Su Ping chuckled and then nodded:
"Good! If you truly don't want to, I won't force you!"
This time, he did not deceive Xiao Huo Yan. After spending so much time together, they had developed a deep bond.
Although Xiao Huo Yan initially had an innate aversion and rejection towards humans, upon learning about the Flame Sovereign's experiences, Su Ping could understand.
This was a normal situation.
The most crucial aspect was that he now had an excellent alternative.
The Time Tome, indeed, had great potential and uniqueness, aligning perfectly with his expectations for a contract beast companion.
Although it seemed a bit abstract as a dragon companion,
the Time Shuttle skill was genuinely intriguing to Su Ping.
He couldn't wait to explore and develop the little thing.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huo Yan paused slightly, seemingly unaware that Su Ping, who had been relentless until now, suddenly changed his mind. The intelligence that had grown with his realm advancement seemed to have an indescribable feeling.
However, Xiao Huo Yan quickly nodded and then pounced on a Flame Fruit, but after a moment of thought, he said:
"Hissss! (Right, Su Ping... my friend... This time, I have a better understanding...)"
"Hissss! (Between me and the other Flame Spirits, it's probably not consumption but... a kind of fusion, so don't get it wrong...)"
Is there a difference?
Su Ping found it both amusing and frustrating, but after three seconds, his eyebrows furrowed.
Fusion?
He looked at Xiao Huo Yan, but at this moment, Xiao Huo Yan had already pounced on the Flame Fruit, beginning a true 'consumption'.
Seeing this, Su Ping refrained from asking questions at this time.
His eyebrows furrowed deeper.
He seemed to have discovered a unique blind spot.
However, just then, something unexpected happened.
The Bestiary suddenly opened at this moment.
An unfamiliar page, previously dull and gray, gradually lit up.
【Beast Companion Atlas 'Fire Element Sprite' unlocked, reward obtained: Talent 'Elementalization' effect enhanced (1/5)!】
The commotion from the Bestiary interrupted Su Ping's thoughts, prompting him to take a glance:
【Atlas: Fire Element Sprite】
【A special foundational element sprite-type beast companion, born from an elemental core, yet possessing a myriad of bizarre forms and an extremely unique growth ability.
Its racial potential is Elite, and its racial skills include: Elemental Body, Fireball Spell, Fire Heart, and more.】
【Current Atlas Level: 1 (2500/500)】
Known evolution atlas, special cultivation:
【Flame Sovereign Spirit: A legendary fire element supreme totem split into a basic form, possessing almost limitless growth potential that ordinary fire element sprites lack.】
Likes and Habits:
【Feeds on flames, fire-type food, enjoys high-temperature environments, has an active and lively personality, but is also hot-tempered and easily angered, being the most enthusiastic element sprite for combat.】
Log Record:
【Discovered and interacted with the special evolution atlas type 'Flame Sovereign Spirit', fulfilling intimacy requirements, Atlas Level experience +2500!】
【This fire element sprite is a special branch evolution, and for each day spent with it, Atlas experience +80!】
Wow,
When the small flame was lit earlier, it was already absurd, but I didn't expect this little flame to be lit so absurdly!
Although it doesn't have as much experience as the Time's Tome, it indirectly proves that after so much tireless effort, this little flame has completely recognized me.
Thinking of this, Su Ping smiled, and then, his spiritual consciousness finally left the Beastmaster Realm.
This elemental fusion can wait for now.
After all, he still has the paper figure's Monarch Rank evolution, Fatty's evolution, dream entry, further development of dream skills, the replication of the Inclusive Sea from the Dragon City's Four Seas Dragon Palace,
The fantasy manifestation in the Jade Dreamland that he's quite interested in, the independent consciousness clone of the Water Sovereign's external incarnation, the analysis of the mutated reason for the hour, the next evolution of the Rainbow Dragon,
The Bestiary, which is already prepared, has the super-tier skill 'Thorn Garden' of the Crown Wolf King, the analysis of the Extreme Yin Ground Bind Spirit's spirit ground cultivation method for a necromancy-type spirit ground.
Wow.
Su Ping was genuinely startled by the sheer amount of tasks he had accumulated during his trip to the Dragon City.
Not only that, but back home, he also has the super-tier skill cultivation of the ice-type Ice Fang White Wolf with Old Liu.
Moreover, these are just tasks related to beast companions; there are other optional tasks, such as plugging some secret realm holes for Huang Tian Bing from the Imperial Prognosticators.
This is also quite important, as it is highly beneficial to him.
Thinking of this, Su Ping felt a headache.
He really wanted to research and see if human beastmasters could learn the 'external incarnation' skill from beast companions.
If so, he could complete these tasks simultaneously.
Unfortunately, this is just a pipe dream.
However, after some thought, Su Ping decided to prioritize these tasks.
Undoubtedly, the paper figure is the most important, as the situation in the Tomb of the Heavens is unique, and if he enters personally, he will need to prepare thoroughly.
Next in priority is Fatty's evolution, dream skill development, and the fantasy manifestation in the Jade Dreamland, which is unlikely as he doesn't have access to that legacy.
The remaining tasks can be left to fate.
However...
These few days in the Imperial Capital should not be wasted, and based on the situation, the cultivation of the Extreme Yin Ground Bind Spirit's spirit ground, further analysis of the Rainbow Dragon, and the replication of the Inclusive Sea, can all make progress in the Imperial Capital.
Therefore, during the next few days of stay, he will focus on these aspects.
As for the other minor tasks,
Similar to the three special cultivation methods that the small flame just obtained, they can be given to the Beast Taming Heart's team members to handle when the time comes.
Indeed, there are reasons and logic for cultivation masters to cultivate students.
Thinking of this, Su Ping recalled a task he had been wanting to do.
This work is organized and uploaded by the 69 Book Bar.
As the knowledge of cultivation methods accumulated in his mind increases, it becomes impractical to keep everything in his head.
Currently, he has five students: Li Shu, Bai Cang, Guan Lili, Ding Xiao Long, and Zhao Qing Qing.
In the future, if the number of students increases, it will be impossible for him to manage them all, as he is not particularly skilled in tailoring his teaching methods to individual students.
Therefore, the Beast Taming Heart needs a library to store this knowledge.
This library is a milestone in the Beast Taming Heart's path to greatness and a representation of its future foundation and heritage.
It is even possible that countless years later, it will become a sacred place in the hearts of countless beastmasters and cultivation masters!
Envisioning this self-congratulatory scene, Su Ping nodded in agreement, and coincidentally, during his previous conversation with 'Hour', this little guy expressed great enthusiasm for the library.
Moreover, if numerous Time Tomes are collected in the future, there is no better place to store them than a library.
With this in mind, Su Ping sent Guan Qian Shan a text message, asking him to select a location and plan the library's construction. Only then did he exhale in relief, open the room door, and accept Chen Zhan's invitation to join him for dinner.
This is a perfect opportunity to seek guidance on some issues and knowledge related to elemental fusion.
Su Ping's personality has always been open to learning from others.
At this moment, within Su Ping's Beastmaster Realm,
A book slowly floats, its pages unfolding like wings, revealing text:
'Truly worthy of being the future owner's Beastmaster Realm, it's so spectacular! Is this the size at this level of cultivation?'
'So these are my two predecessors? Hello, predecessors! I'm the future owner's contracted beast companion!!'
Hour waves the book's pages in front of Qing.
Qing glances at it, seemingly not understanding why a book would fly.
Even more puzzling is the text on the pages.
'The predecessor is indeed high and mighty! But wow, what a powerful clone skill! Truly worthy of being the future owner's meticulously cultivated Wolf King!!'
'Oh, the predecessor's sword skill also seems extraordinary.
(End of this chapter)
Su Ping's new companion, a small fire sprout named Xiao Huo Yan, was curious about the new addition to Su Ping's collection. The book pages, seemingly alive, displayed a pair of eyes that blinked, leaving Xiao Huo Yan perplexed.
"What's this thing doing flying around?" Xiao Huo Yan wondered, noticing the paper-like material. Recognizing it as Su Ping's companion, Xiao Huo Yan decided not to bother with it.
Flipping through the book, Xiao Huo Yan shook his head and left, arriving at a fiery domain, the Fire Cultivation Domain:
"Even possessing the characteristic of ancient energy, the owner is truly remarkable!"
"Ah, such abundant energy!"
Soon, Xiao Huo Yan spotted a small fire seedling perched on a flame fruit nearby.
It was indeed visible.
At that moment, the yellowed book pages displayed a pair of eyes that seemed alive, even blinking.
Clearly, Su Ping's actions here were witnessed by Xiao Huo Yan.
The small creature, previously flying, straightened up and approached the fire seedling.
On the yellowed book pages, a line of text appeared:
"What a foolish elemental spirit! Refusing to become the owner's companion... tsk tsk tsk..."
"But it's true, elemental spirits have never possessed wisdom or brains. Compared to the intelligent and wise Dragon King, they are indeed far inferior."
"However, it's good. This way, I can become the great owner's companion faster!"
The small fire seedling stopped sucking the flame fruit, its anthropomorphic eyes blinking as it watched the strange book with constantly appearing text. Tilting its head, it seemed confused by the book's actions.
Clearly, this behavior made Xiao Huo Yan even more disdainful:
"Another illiterate?"
"Tsk... The owner's choice of companions and the breeder's eye for companions are truly unparalleled and unique! It's a pity that their cultural level is slightly lower."
"Fortunately, my appearance ensures the owner's future companions won't be laughed at as illiterate companions!"
Xiao Huo Yan shook his head and left.
However, just as he turned, a voice called out:
"Who are you? Are you the owner's new companion? Who are you calling illiterate?"
The voice made Xiao Huo Yan pause, and he looked towards the source, an oval-shaped mechanical ball, from which the voice, an electronic sound, emanated.
"Hmm? Another foolish elemental spirit? Oh, so this is the so-called mechanical companion?"
"Oh, it's you, senior! Greetings, senior. Don't misunderstand! I was saying that the owner's companions are extremely powerful and like to be straightforward."
Xiao Huo Yan's book pages quickly greeted the voice.
Li Shu, curious, looked towards the mechanical ball.
The owner's new companion? Illiterate? Foolish?
Though unsure why it was written in the book, Li Shu thought:
"This little thing is quite arrogant! Well, let me test your knowledge then."
Xiao Huo Yan's wings flapped, and the handwriting appeared: "Senior, how do you want to test me?"
Li Shu thought for a moment:
"Since you value culture so highly, let's test your knowledge of the Dragon Nation's poetry."
"No problem! Senior, bring it on!"
If it were anything else, Xiao Huo Yan might have hesitated, but when it came to the book, he wasn't intimidated!
"Very good! If you pass my test, I'll put in a good word for you before the owner. However, this poetry test is different from the usual!
You should know that the owner's thinking is unconstrained, so he can do many things that breeders can't. As a companion, you must keep up with the owner's thinking to earn his approval and my recognition!"
Li Shu's electronic voice was devoid of emotion.
Xiao Huo Yan became slightly nervous:
"Senior, what do you mean?"
"It's simple. Ordinary poetry can't fully demonstrate cultural wisdom. I'll give you a trial question.
Listen carefully. The first question, 'Feiliu Zhi Xia San Qian Chi'... what's the next line?"
Li Shu's electronic voice remained emotionless.
Xiao Huo Yan, however, felt much more relaxed:
"Feiliu Zhi Xia San Qian Chi, Yi Xi Yin He Lao Jiu Tian. A thousand and one hundred years ago, the Saint Spirit Rank Artifact Type Beastmaster, Qinglian Jianxian, wrote..."
Before Xiao Huo Yan could finish writing, Li Shu interrupted:
"Wrong! There are many answers to this question, but the one you gave is not the correct answer in the eyes of the world. Can that be the correct answer?"
"Ah?"
Xiao Huo Yan was perplexed. This was different from what the book said!
Can the correct answer in the eyes of the world not be the correct answer?
Li Shu continued:
"Feiliu Zhi Xia San Qian Chi, Bu Dao He Huang Xin Bu Si.
"Ah?"
On Xiao Huo Yan's book pages, another line of text appeared, but this one was much larger than the previous one!
"Good. Next question, Xi Chu Yang Gu Wu Gu Ren..."
"..."
"Xi Chu Yang Gu Wu Gu Ren, Qin Tian Guan Wu Gu Ren..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a long pause,
Li Shu looked at the book, satisfied. "Little one, you still have a long way to go to become the owner's companion. You must learn to master this rebellious thinking!"
After speaking, Li Shu rolled to the side, leaving Xiao Huo Yan alone, perplexed by the wind.
