Chapter 433: Lao Liu's Breakthrough! Ice Fang White Wolf's Advanced Fusion
Chapter 433: Lao Liu's Breakthrough! Ice Fang White Wolf's Advanced Fusion
In the afternoon, after attending to Ye Zhou and organizing the upcoming plans, Su Ping prepared for the simulated cultivation of the Origami Beast Manual and the virtual manifestation cultivation of Feifei.
Finally, Su Ping had some time to visit the reception tea room, where he looked at the two old men who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival.
"Is this really the legendary Dragon Pine Enlightenment Tea?" Su Ping asked, his eyes wide with anticipation.
The two elders stared intently at the teacup in front of them, their eyes as round as saucers, fixated on the 'leaf' within the cup, adorned with golden dragon patterns.
However, the room did not fill with a strong aroma, and without the slowly forming dragon-shaped mist, no one would have guessed that the three men were gazing at a cup of ancient tea brewed from a special plant-type companion beast of the Holy Spirit rank.
In a sense, this was undoubtedly a resource of the Holy Spirit rank.
When Su Ping first consumed it, his cultivation level increased, and his spiritual platform became clear and bright.
Even his innate talent showed a slight improvement.
At the same time, there were also some subtle enhancements.
These improvements were not simple or ordinary.
Both elders experienced the effects, which was why they stared intently, and even Lao Liu, at this moment, couldn't help but swallow his saliva repeatedly.
The not-so-strong aroma, accompanied by the equally high-quality water—the best they could offer—when boiled, formed a dragon-shaped mist that finally burst into a dragon's roar.
"That's it!" Su Ping exclaimed. Previously, he had boldly asked Feng Lao about the brewing process of this tea.
Unlike the haphazardly brewed teas, this precious Dragon Pine Enlightenment Tea required no fancy preparation; hot water was sufficient.
The two elders, both well-known figures in Jianghai Province, carefully took the teacup from Su Ping.
It was as if they were contracting a companion beast for the first time, receiving the young beast in their hands.
The three men didn't waste any more time with idle chatter.
Su Ping had already tasted it once, and although the effects of this consumption were not immediately apparent, he wanted to savor the wonderful taste.
Of course, even if this grade of resource wasn't primarily for level advancement, he could still feel that after swallowing it, his spirit became clear and transparent, and the boundary that had been stirring restlessly seemed to be on the verge of breaking.
However, Su Ping managed to suppress it.
He naturally wanted to break through the Monarch rank barrier, and with the conclusion of this profession assessment, Ye Zhou, Qin Xiaoxue, and others had all advanced in their cultivation levels at the earliest opportunity.
Even Dong Muchuan, who was slightly behind, wouldn't lag too far behind.
Su Ping wanted to surpass these individuals in cultivation level, but he had to wait for Su An Yong to return with the trait resource he had prepared.
Suppressing the boundary that was about to break, his clear mind seemed to suddenly understand many things that had previously puzzled him.
Was this Dragon Pine Enlightenment Tea tree really capable of this effect? Su Ping wasn't sure, but looking at the two elders, the impact and effect of this tea seemed to surpass his imagination.
At this moment, even Qin Erlong, a late-stage Emperor rank Beastmaster, was astounded.
As a Beastmaster who was neither short on funds nor resources, Qin Erlong simply savored the tea like an old drunk, closing his eyes and relishing the taste.
However, Liu Fuhai, sitting beside him, visibly felt something amiss.
Ripples of spiritual energy continuously spread from his body.
An indescribable feeling accompanied the clear dragon's roar, and within the spiritual ripples, it was as if real waves were spreading.
This was...
Even Su Ping, let alone Qin Erlong, who had sensed this extraordinary ripple, quickly opened his eyes, astonished, and looked at Lao Liu.
Their eyes widened even more than before.
After sensing the ripple for a moment, he blurted out a curse:
"What the hell?"
At this moment, the two men, startled, quickly stood up and made some space for Lao Liu in the middle.
The surging spiritual ripples instantly formed a faint white light, enveloping Lao Liu.
The contained ripples were crystal clear.
Emperor rank?!
Su Ping blinked, feeling like he was dreaming, never expecting such an outcome.
Had Lao Liu advanced to the Emperor rank?
Old Liu Fuhai had been stuck at the Monarch Peak for years, no one knew how long.
However, the Beastmaster Association didn't seem to have such high requirements for the Beastmaster Realm.
But even so, it was still difficult for Old Liu to truly secure his position as the top breeder in Jianghai Province.
The main reason was the recommendation of the previous director and the emergence of Su Ping.
Now, however, this realm and position could be considered truly legitimate!
But Su Ping never expected that a mere cup of Dragon Pine Tea could allow Old Liu to surpass the realm he had always dreamed of?
Clearly, the constant flickering breakthrough fluctuations didn't seem fake.
In fact, it was indeed so.
About half an hour later, the rippling fluctuations gradually disappeared.
In its place, there was the still-shining bald head and the excited, shocked, and somewhat mysterious gaze beneath those long eyebrows.
"I broke through? Haha!"
Old Liu, who was so happy he couldn't find north, glanced at Qin Erlong beside him, who frowned:
"What's there to be happy about? Breaking through without preparation for trait resources? At the Emperor Rank, the importance of Beastmaster Realm traits will become apparent, and a large number of resources will be born from it. Without one trait resource..."
Before he could finish, Liu Fuhai looked at Qin Erlong:
"I prepared Ice Abyss End five years ago, just for this day. I never thought it would happen today! Su Ping, you're my lucky star. I've always said that we two should be sworn brothers..."
Su Ping twitched his mouth.
However, before he could speak, Liu Fuhai suddenly glared.
Qin Erlong spoke with a hint of envy and jealousy:
"What's wrong? Did you hurt your back? I heard that if there's no promotion for a long time after a breakthrough, and the emotional fluctuations are too strong, it can affect one's mental state. Isn't that right?"
Liu Fuhai ignored him and turned to look at Su Ping:
"I broke through to the Emperor Rank, and Bai Ye also successfully advanced. Taking this opportunity, the Water Heart has reached the Perfect Rank!"
Upon hearing this, both Qin Erlong and Su Ping were stunned.
Su Ping stood in place and thought for a moment before reacting. Bai Ye was the name of Liu Fuhai's main companion beast: the Ice Fang White Wolf!
The Perfect Rank of the Water Heart?
Doesn't that mean...?
Su Ping looked intently at Liu Fuhai, who also stared back at him.
"Where is Bai Ye now?"
"He's in the Earth Heart area you created within the Nexus of All Souls. During this time, he's been with those Snow Wolves. Didn't you say that when companion beasts use skills together, their skill training speed increases?"
Liu Fuhai explained.
Su Ping nodded. He had indeed said that, but he didn't know if others were as fast as him. Training together here, they were definitely faster.
How could they not be faster? With dozens of Snow Wolves training together and sharing connections, the speed increased several times, if not tenfold.
Of course, Su Ping also benefited. He not only had dozens of Snow Wolves that mastered Water Heart skills but also gained confidence in replicating the 'Water Heart' magic potion for the Snow Wolves!
"Let's go!"
This work is uploaded by Shuba.
Without saying more, he led the two old men away.
But Old Liu quickly waved his hand:
"Wait!"
Amidst the suspicious gazes of Su Ping and Qin Erlong, Old Liu quickly picked up the half-full cup of Dragon Pine Tea that had already cooled down and took another sip.
Although the tea had cooled and lost much of its fragrance, he still made a speechless gesture of enjoyment:
"Tsk, can't waste it!"
...
"Woof!"
In the Earth Heart area.
The region named Snow Heart was where the companion beasts lived, and the Ice Heart area, connected to the Snow Heart, was where Beastmasters and breeders operated.
At this moment, in the enclosed area, workers in the Nexus of All Souls uniforms and the remaining personnel from the design and construction companies were busy working in the surrounding areas.
Several figures watched the playful Snow Wolves rolling in the snow in the Snow Heart, and a handsome white wolf howling loudly in the distance, and they couldn't help but chat:
"Turtle, Su Breeder is really generous! Building a small snowy mountain tundra in Linzhou, although it's mostly ice-attributed companion beasts, won't consume too many resources to maintain.
But this laborious and thankless task can only be accomplished by this master! In my opinion, with just twenty or thirty Snow Wolves, these elite-ranked companion beasts, is it worth such a big effort?"
"Stop chattering, how would we know what Breeder Su's thoughts are? Besides, there are only two or three dozen Snow Wolves now, what about the future? Ice and Snow attributes are also quite popular!"
"Exactly, didn't you see that white wolf? It's so handsome! Could this be an Overlord-rank Snow Wolf King?"
A young man wearing a Ten Thousand Spirit Heart uniform nearby snorted:
"Ladies and gentlemen, is this your first time working at the Heart of Earth? That's just Chairman Liu's Companion Beast from Jianghai Province. It's a genuine Monarch-rank Companion Beast, and it's rumored to be a top-tier Ice-type Companion Beast at the ninth stage of the Monarch rank!"
"Ninth stage of the Monarch rank? Goodness, that's truly incredible!"
"But why is this wolf howling in broad daylight? And do you feel... a bit chilly all of a sudden?"
The middle-aged man among them shrank his neck and then subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Then, he slightly froze,
because at some point, a dark cloud appeared in the sky above them, especially right over their heads, slowly emerging.
This dark cloud seemed particularly out of place.
It was right above their heads, and just a few dozen meters away, sunlight shone in, continuing to radiate heat.
However, everyone could clearly feel that the temperature here was dropping.
Even as these people stared at the faint dark cloud, they saw with absolute clarity that right above their heads, at a height of less than a hundred meters, a white object slowly descended.
Snowflakes?
Everyone was stunned.
In Linzhou, a coastal city, it was snowing in July?
It's rare for Linzhou to snow even in winter.
Unless...
As a society of Beastmasters, it was evident that the people present instantly understood the situation.
Such a change in temperature could only be caused by one thing.
An Ice-type Companion Beast was manipulating everything.
Just then, another loud wolf howl sounded.
Everyone turned to look.
The Ice Fang White Wolf, at some point, had already taken a position in the air above the not-yet-fully-formed snow mountain. Its tail, like an ice crystal diamond, was raised high, sparkling with endless ice and snow accumulating on its body.
At this moment, water vapor condensed around the wolf, forming a layer of incredibly fine ice.
Then, this fine layer of ice quickly piled up, and endless ice and snow crazily encased the wolf's body.
Simultaneously, ice blades formed around it, like flashing crystal shards, and began to condense on its body.
Each ice blade, just by encircling it, instantly shattered the special material-made Snow Heart that could withstand Monarch-rank Companion Beast attacks.
The staff outside swallowed their saliva.
It was clear that the situation had exceeded everyone's imagination, as the originally white wolf was now covered in ice crystals, and its body constantly flashed with ice.
The young man in the uniform reacted first, grabbing the walkie-talkie and speaking into it:
"Security Department, there's an unknown situation in the western region of the Snow Heart. Please ask Land Security to come, and Chairman Liu's Ice Fang White Wolf..."
Before he could finish speaking, several figures appeared.
A palm was placed on his shoulder:
"Enough, no need to notify Security. I'll handle this."
The young man turned, and a group of people had already had no time to care about the staff.
Bald Liu Fuhai, who had arrived early, shouted to Su Ping:
"Quickly, feed Baiye two pieces of the wood and heart that Master Zhu left behind!"
Although his words seemed reproachful, there was no doubt that his face was filled with extreme joy.
