Chapter 429: Returning to Lin Prefecture! Cloud Saint's Generous Gift!
Chapter 429: Returning to Lin Prefecture! Cloud Saint's Generous Gift!
In the following days, Su Ping's time in the Imperial Capital was not rushed, but it was extremely fulfilling.
However, in order to deliberately reduce his influence, Su Ping no longer appeared in public.
Even the repeated interview invitations from the previous host, Liu Xu, were declined several times, even when others tried to make arrangements.
During these days, the primary task was to continue developing the spiritual frequency resonance of the Dream Skill.
Nevertheless, the inconveniences in the Imperial Capital, even with possibly better conditions than the Bestiary, Su Ping couldn't completely calm down and conduct experiments properly.
He could only put aside some of his research desires, planning to try them back at the Bestiary.
Besides this, Su Ping also spent some time in the Dragon City, specifically within the Four Seas Dragon Palace.
Indeed, the Ice Dragon King's grand gesture allowed Su Ping to participate in the Inclusive Sea research.
Su Ping had long been interested in this super-tier skill of Nie Chuan from decades ago.
Compared to the Dream Skill of the Dragon Nation, which was exaggerated and overhyped in public opinion, the Inclusive Sea was truly a remarkable Divine Skill that could reach the Hallowed Tier.
However, even if Su Ping accompanied them, facing the few words and phrases spoken by the Ocean Whale, he still couldn't piece together the complete breeding method of the Inclusive Sea.
The Bestiary, which Su Ping had high hopes for, also unexpectedly showed no signs of progress.
It was clear that the intelligence and breeding direction revealed by the Ocean Whale were largely inaccurate.
Even Su Ping's hundred-percent success rate Golden Finger couldn't restore the Inclusive Sea in this situation.
During this, Su Ping also thought of a solution.
That was to try and see if the recently obtained Time Tome could use Time Shuttle to return to the past, using the Ocean Whale as an anchor point, to observe the past interactions between the Ocean Whale and Nie Chuan, and how they cultivated together.
The result was that the latter mercilessly shattered Su Ping's guess.
The reason was simple.
Firstly, the Ocean Whale's cultivation level was as high as the Monarch Peak, and the Time Shuttle's anchor point couldn't be used by lifeforms above the user's realm.
Secondly, the Ocean Whale was merely a fragmented soul.
Time was a unique element, and Time Shuttle wasn't all-powerful.
Such a soul as an anchor point could only observe the events that happened before and after the soul's formation in the Time River.
It was impossible to trace back to the Ocean Whale itself and the long-gone past of Nie Chuan.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Time Tome's ability, wouldn't it be possible to find the countless lost cultivation methods of the past? If it were this heaven-defying, the Dragon City wouldn't have casually handed over the Time Tome to Su Ping.
Of course, not being able to do it now didn't mean it would be impossible in the future.
However, regarding the Inclusive Sea, it was clear that it wouldn't be possible to make any progress within a short time.
Fortunately, during this visit to the Four Seas Dragon Palace, entering this special Dragon Clan's heritage site, Su Ping also had some gains.
The Ice Dragon King and the Sea Dragon King, who only appeared once, were surprised to learn of Su Ping's relationship with the Wax Dragon. They then shared some books with Su Ping about the Dragon Clan's breeding and resource usage.
This allowed Su Ping to gain a basic understanding and grasp of some foundational breeding methods for Dragon Companions during this time.
Simultaneously, his heart felt slightly heavy.
The reason was simple.
The Dragon Heart seemed difficult to obtain!
Compared to the feeding of other companion beasts, the Dragon Heart was like a bottomless pit, and not just anyone could afford to raise it.
The required feeding included corresponding attribute resources and a large amount of fierce beast meat, not to mention the consumption of the newly born Little Black and Little Grey.
At his current cultivation level, the monthly food expenses would reach several hundred thousand, almost a million.
If his cultivation level continued to rise...
Fortunately, with Ping Yun's financial support, the situation wasn't particularly tense.
Besides these, Su Ping also had a pure gain in the Four Seas Dragon Palace!
That was, with the increased understanding of the Dragon Clan, the long-awaited special Bestiary hint finally appeared.
【Based on the currently discovered Dragon Clan evolution breeding method, the Rainbow Dragon's second Dragon Evolution method can be perfected, requiring 1500 experience points from the Divine Dragon Tome!】
Indeed, one of the main purposes of this visit to the Imperial Capital and the Four Seas Dragon Palace was finally accomplished.
The first Dragon Evolution of the Rainbow Coral Worm, the Rainbow Glass Butterfly, was a transformation beyond imagination.
Therefore, Su Ping had long anticipated the second Dragon Evolution.
However, even after its appearance, Su Ping didn't immediately take action.
There was no choice, there wasn't enough money!
This 1,000 experience points from the Divine Dragon Tome, which were universal experience points, were needed.
This is a substantial sum.
Su Ping estimated that returning to the Nexus of All Souls would require a large amount of experience points to complete the Monarch Rank evolution for the origami figure through the Lv. 5 Bestiary simulation.
Furthermore, the Rainbow Glazed Butterfly's potential had not yet reached its limit, and even with the second stage of the Rainbow Dragon's evolution method currently deciphered, it was still unusable.
Indeed, there was no rush.
Apart from the gains in Dragon City, what was even more noteworthy was the research on dreams.
It must be said.
Meng Huang Liang was an interesting person.
Ever since Su Ping's theory of terrifying dreams was put forth, it had broken Meng Huang Liang's defenses in his most proficient field.
However, it also led to increased interactions between Meng Huang Liang and Su Ping as they delved deeper into the Dream Frequency.
Just a few days ago, Su Ping proposed a special idea, and this Spiritual Frequency Emperor-ranked Beastmaster disappeared for two days.
It was evident that Su Ping's idea had once again given him a powerful impact and inspiration.
Su Ping still refrained from asking any questions about entering dreams.
Regarding the details of dream cultivation and spiritual frequency, he had no intention of exploring further.
Instead, he continued his in-depth research and discussions on the topic of killing enemies in dreams.
This discussion was not merely a reiteration of Su Ping's previous nightmare theory; it was another idea he had been contemplating recently.
'Multi-Layer Dream Theory'
Humans' multi-layered dreams are quite mystical.
Often, when a person wakes up from a dream, they subconsciously believe they have truly awakened, and at that moment, their resistance and vigilance towards dreams diminish significantly.
Meng Huang Liang had indeed utilized the Multi-Layer Dream Theory before.
However, it must be said that Su Ping's ideas and theories, combined with the previously integrated nightmare, formed a compelling combination.
Even Meng Huang Liang couldn't help but form a hypothesis:
'If this kid truly masters entering dreams and can allow companion beasts to enter others' dreams, or even absorb others into the companion beasts' dreams, perhaps it's genuinely possible, just through dreams, to silently eliminate unknown enemies in their sleep, leaving them defenseless!'
Nevertheless, beyond this hypothesis, Meng Huang Liang also felt perplexed.
He wondered, could this world before him be real? Otherwise, why would such a talented dream breeder appear? This was the first time in many years that he felt so bewildered.
Dreams, in general, manifest based on the dreamer's perception.
Even if his dreams are observed by outsiders,
There are also external consciousnesses entering.
If the other party understands dreams in this way, then the previous question resurfaces: If this is truly a dream, and the 'outside' Eagle Nation has produced an even more formidable Spiritual Frequency breeder, what significance does he hold?
At this moment, Meng Huang Liang still holds on to his conviction!
In his heart, there's one last weight! Perhaps, perhaps this external consciousness only wants to obtain the 'dream entry' skill!
In the end, these are just theoretical musings.
Without the key to dream entry, without truly possessing this key, everything remains mere talk.
And what the other party says, in the end, is just to obtain this 'key'!
Therefore, he still refrains from saying more.
Although the existence of the Dream Frequency has already shocked him.
As for Meng Huang Liang's ideas, Su Ping doesn't mind.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Jiu Shu Bar~~
He also doesn't intend to do anything.
After all, he merely wants to share with Meng Huang Liang, observing the other party's reactions to gauge the feasibility of his ideas.
As for the research on dream entry and spiritual frequency, it indeed requires a significant amount of time.
However, from the current perspective, it seems that as long as he achieves some results, he can enter the Dream Frequency and meet this person.
Besides the meeting and conversation with Meng Huang Liang in the Dream Frequency, and the discussions within the Four Seas Dragon Palace about the Inclusive Sea,
in these few days, Su Ping also took the time to do a small task.
The first time he came to the Imperial Capital, there were many people who visited him.
Among them was a relatively special one.
He was a prominent figure in the Imperial Capital, the head of the Ghost Dragon Breeding Base, Cheng Dong, the Breeder.
The number one figure in the Imperial Capital's Breeder Association, although not a Breeding Master, was still a top-tier Necromancer Breeder.
Moreover, they had a good relationship, and Su Ping even had a request for him.
Because, apart from Bai Cang's hard-to-shake relationship, he was also a student of Yin Luo.
Additionally, Su Ping himself had a request, so he took half a day to visit this Ghost Dragon Breeding Base.
It must be said that it was impressive.
A Necromancer-themed breeding base, with various Necromancer domains and no shortage of eerie territories.
It was clear that the primary purpose of Su Ping's trip was to visit the Necromancy-type Yin Ground. After learning that Su Ping wanted to exchange cultivation methods for the Yin Ground, Cheng Dong generously provided all the cultivation methods for the Yin Ground from the Ghost Dragon.
Cheng Dong openly offered to give it to Su Ping as a token of appreciation for the extraordinary contributions of the paper figure, a unique Dragon Kingdom-style Necromancy-type companion beast.
Su Ping felt embarrassed and tried to decline, but eventually agreed to the deal with several high-level resources and some additional verbal agreements.
At the same time, this also established a connection between Su Ping and the Ghost Dragon breeding base, as well as Cheng Dong, though not particularly deep.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, after staying in the Imperial Capital for a week, Su Ping finally prepared to return to Linzhou, his hometown, which he had left for more than half a month.
The Proud Dragon landed at the private helipad of the Dragon Dynasty Club.
Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue watched the activation of the Proud Dragon without rushing to board.
After seven days, the young Miss Qin had become a proper first-rank Monarch-level Beastmaster.
However, the breakthrough to the Monarch level was significant, and during this time, Su Ping had not seen Miss Qin, as arrangements were also being made by Sang Sheng.
This time, Miss Qin would accompany Su Ping back to Linzhou, so there was no need to return to the Magic Capital Academy.
Apparently, she would be staying in Linzhou for a while during the summer vacation.
As Su Ping bid farewell to the send-off party, he was about to board the Proud Dragon with Qin Xiaoxue when a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him.
This figure surprised not only Qin Xiaoxue but also Su Ping.
Dressed in a snow-white silk skirt and a veiled face, the woman's captivating and gentle gaze left a deep impression on Su Ping, despite their limited interactions. She was none other than Yun Sheng.
Why did Yun Sheng suddenly appear here? Yun Sheng smiled slightly:
"I'm glad I made it in time. Su Ping, why didn't you tell me you were leaving today? I only found out from Master Zhu that you're departing today!"
"Er..."
Su Ping felt a bit embarrassed and rubbed his nose. Of course, he had mentioned it, but only to those he was close to and had a good relationship with.
In fact, his relationship with the woman before him was merely a superficial one, and he was even less familiar with her than with the Ice Dragon King, whom he often met at the Four Seas Dragon Palace and who was always trying to expand his harem.
Qin Xiaoxue, standing beside him, smiled and said:
"Grandma Feng, you're so busy with your duties. For a small matter like this, we naturally didn't think of troubling you!"
Yun Sheng glanced at Qin Xiaoxue:
"Little girl, didn't I tell you not to call me that? If you keep doing it, I'll tell your grandmother on you!"
Qin Xiaoxue giggled, unbothered by the unthreatening warning.
Fortunately, Yun Sheng wasn't truly angry. She took out an item from the Beastmaster Realm and handed it to Su Ping:
"Last time we chatted, I gained a lot of insights. During this time, the Spirit Dragon King has learned about some of your actions, including Meng Yan's situation.
Meng Yan is a Beastmaster from Emerald Dreamland. For him to undergo some changes is unimaginable, and even a complete recovery remains challenging.
However, the Spirit Dragon King has asked me to convey his gratitude and give you this item as a token of appreciation from Emerald Dreamland.
He also hopes that after the conclusion of the Candle Dragon's matter, you will achieve something that will impress Emerald Dreamland!"
Su Ping was perplexed as he accepted the small jade piece from Yun Sheng.
He knew what it was—a special material for psychics called the Spirit-Storing Warm Jade.
It was a unique material that could retain information perceived only through spiritual senses.
However, what did Yun Sheng mean by this? Was she trying to recruit him?
Regardless of her intentions, accepting the offer wouldn't be a problem:
"Rest assured, I will always remember the help you and the Spirit Dragon King of Emerald Dreamland have given me!"
Although he had no use for it, the so-called influence of the Heavenly Tomb Mark meant that Emerald Dreamland was always providing support and creating stabilizing potions, so his words were not an issue.
Yun Sheng smiled slightly and then said:
"Alright, I won't delay your return journey any longer. But after some time, I'll come to visit you and your little fire beast. Don't disappoint me then!"
With a wave of her hand, Yun Sheng's figure gradually became transparent and disappeared from sight.
Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue exchanged glances and finally boarded the Proud Dragon.
The mechanical dragon's wings sprayed energy, and then slowly flapped, instantly disappearing into the sky.
Su Ping, after a brief chat with Qin Xiaoxue, then entered his spiritual power into the Spirit-Storing Warm Jade given by Yun Sheng.
As expected, it contained a special message.
However, what surprised Su Ping was the first sentence that appeared in his spiritual perception:
【Emerald Dreamland's inherited psychic super-tier skill 'Fantasy Manifestation' cultivation method!】
Yun Sheng and Emerald Dreamland had indeed sent a generous gift!
