Chapter 440: Nan Ming Li Huo? Zhu Que's Skill?
Chapter 440: Nan Ming Li Huo? Zhu Que's Skill?
In the early morning sunlight, amidst the verdant leaves, the chirping of cicadas filled the air, accompanied by the cheerful chirping of birds outside the open window.
Su Ping finally had a peaceful sleep and opened his eyes.
With his vast spiritual power, which brought a sense of almost limitless control, Su Ping felt as if the world was within his grasp.
Su Ping's mind stirred, and he once again looked towards his two little companions in the Beastmaster Dimension, Qian Yi and Xiao Qing, who had both advanced to the Marquis Rank.
He let out a long breath and then turned his attention back to Xiao Huo Miao.
Xiao Huo Miao had also awakened, but at this moment, Su Ping fell into deep thought instead of rushing to interact with the little creature.
Having reached the Marquis Rank, it was time to decide on his fourth contracted beast.
Relatively speaking, he was indeed more inclined to choose Xiao Huo Miao.
After all, Xiao Huo Miao had been with him for much longer than Xiao Shi.
Moreover, it had indeed been a great help to him, and its original Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog was just a basic and ordinary Fire Elemental Spirit.
However, Xiao Huo Miao's reluctance to become a contracted beast was beyond imagination.
Even though it had met the intimacy requirements in the Bestiary Tome, it was still quite unwilling to become a contracted beast.
Su Ping didn't want to force the little creature.
As for Xiao Shi, Su Ping was also willing to consider it, wanting to contract the little guy as his own. However, Xiao Shi was currently occupied.
Ever since Ye Zhou arrived a few days ago and saw Xiao Shi, he had been like a treasure hunter.
So, in the past few days, Ye Zhou had borrowed Xiao Shi.
Su Ping was pleased with Ye Zhou's intentions.
This guy wanted to fulfill the wishes of Jiang Xuanji, so he was researching this aspect on his own.
The first goal was to cultivate the skill of the Hourglass Time Projection, which belonged to Shi Guang Sha Lou, onto Xiao Shi.
It was the first time Su Ping had allowed someone else to cultivate his contracted beast, and the feeling was indeed quite pleasant.
Moreover, Su Ping was eager to see if Ye Zhou could truly come up with something extraordinary.
At this thought, Su Ping's spirits lifted.
While earlier feedback from the contract was preferable, the subsequent contract, based on the mutual cultivation of both parties, also provided spiritual power boosts for the contracted beast and the Beastmaster. Su Ping's advancement was not lacking in this regard.
With this in mind, Su Ping's body once again entered the vast Beastmaster Dimension.
He appeared before the awakened Xiao Huo Miao.
This was a new change upon reaching the Marquis Rank, and Su Ping was astonished as he examined his own body.
Indeed, this time, he had physically entered the dimension instead of just projecting his spirit.
Upon reaching the Marquis Rank, a Beastmaster could greatly enhance their survival abilities through this method.
Feeling the solid ground beneath his feet and the sky above, Su Ping nodded in satisfaction and approached Xiao Huo Miao.
The little guy's cultivation had already surpassed the Elite Peak and reached the First Rank of the Commander level after another feast of devouring.
Sensing Su Ping's arrival, Xiao Huo Miao let out an excited hiss.
But before Su Ping could even speak, Xiao Huo Miao's words surprised him:
"Hiss... (Su Ping, about what you asked yesterday... that... I saw... the main body has tried such cultivation...)"
Su Ping's eyes lit up.
The ability of the Rootless Flame, the perfect fire capability under the Fire Element's 'Burning' trait?
He hadn't expected that when he asked yesterday, Xiao Huo Miao would have seen it after devouring and merging with the remaining Fire Venerable's divine clones today?
Eagerly, Su Ping turned to Xiao Huo Miao:
"Little guy, what's the situation? How much did you see regarding this cultivation? Can you show me?"
"Hiss... (Su Ping, we're friends... of course. Moreover, even if the main body failed, what I saw was the complete memory of a successful attempt after multiple failures...)"
With the breakthrough to the Commander level, Xiao Huo Miao's intelligence seemed to have increased as well, and its expressions became clearer.
Indeed, if what Xiao Huo Miao had said earlier was true.
This cultivation of the Rootless Flame was undoubtedly crucial for the original Fire Venerable.
Otherwise, Xiao Huo Miao wouldn't have noticed this memory at this stage.
The Fire Venerable's residual memories must have contained extensive knowledge in this regard.
And this time, after devouring and paying extra attention, Xiao Huo Miao had indeed found something.
Su Ping didn't care about the Fire Venerable's thoughts or ideas; he only needed the cultivation process attempts. With Su Ping's understanding of the Bestiary Tome, there was a chance for a complete feedback loop to emerge.
At most, it would only consume some general experience.
As he thought of this, a small flame appeared in his hand, and then, a familiar memory scene was conveyed through the connected mental power.
It allowed Su Ping to see clearly.
Compared to many previous times, the perception of this memory was much clearer.
In a world of fiery red, the creature composed purely of fire elements, like a phoenix, looked anxiously at everything before it.
In front of the creature were various resources, some familiar to Su Ping and some unfamiliar.
Among them was a fiery red branch, like red jade, but within this jade-like branch, there seemed to be an infinite flame burning, fire element energy, and even the surrounding resources all seemed to revolve around this branch, seemingly an unimaginable precious resource.
The Flame Lord in the memory seemed extremely nervous and anxious, and even, in Su Ping's eyes, there was a sense of unease.
This showed how important everything in the memory was to the Flame Lord.
The next second, the Flame Lord slowly moved, not rushing to act on the resources before him.
Instead, it began a very strange movement.
Su Ping struggled to describe this movement; it was as if the phoenix was dancing, but the dancing posture was like a flame quietly burning.
All the body movements were identical to the flames.
Even though this was just a memory scene, when Su Ping saw this, he still had an indescribable strange and eerie feeling.
He couldn't explain what this feeling was.
But he could clearly see in his line of sight that the Flame Lord's body was gradually changing.
Its body didn't have any obvious shape changes, but around it, there seemed to be an indescribable vague glow, as if the air was slightly distorted.
It seemed like a substantial change in flame temperature,
However, at this moment, Su Ping suddenly felt a relatively niche word:
'Radiation?'
Yes, at this moment, the Flame Lord, in the memory, like a flame dancing gracefully, the burst from its body, was this feeling.
Radiation.
Su Ping subconsciously held his breath, focusing all his attention on the Flame Lord's memory.
This radiation and the Flame Lord's fiery aura became increasingly terrifying.
Even, gradually, in this heightened third-person perspective, the Flame Lord's body was no longer visible, at this moment, it became light.
Pure flame and the light of the flame.
The light of the flame that filled the entire world and the entire line of sight! Su Ping incredulously watched everything before him, and the next moment, a sharp cry echoed throughout the world.
The previous resources suddenly flew up, and even appeared together with continuous bright flames.
And these flames were all quite extraordinary.
It could be seen from their colors.
Azure, gold, purple, ink green, and black flames surrounded them.
These resources, which looked very extraordinary in the memory scene, were burning and merging together.
But Su Ping couldn't see what they were merging into.
The final merging light, the Flame Lord's ignited firelight, and the seemingly infinite radiation slowly merged.
In the faint light, the giant Flame Lord opened its head and swallowed the object into its belly.
In an instant, as if it was just this simple second of time, all the previous things disappeared without a trace.
The Flame Lord's body returned to its original form.
Failed?
Unsurprisingly, this was an answer Su Ping already knew.
As expected, after the Flame Lord's body tightened, the next moment, the originally fiery body leaked out wisps of flames, then, like a deflated balloon, the flames went crazy, leaking from its body,
A phoenix's mournful cry sounded, and the Flame Lord opened its mouth, spitting out a chaotic flame with an indiscernible color.
And the memory stopped completely after the Flame Lord's aura greatly weakened.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed, as expected, with his self-proclaimed broad knowledge, he was stunned in place at this moment:
【Discovered the 'Fire Elemental Sprite' and partial fire elemental pet beast special skill cultivation method: Nanming Lihuo.
】
【It has been discovered that the 'Southern Ming Departed Flame' skill is in an incomplete state. Will it consume 500,000 points of Fire Element Sprite Tome experience or 50,000 points of universal experience to perfect the 'Southern Ming Departed Flame' skill cultivation method?】
How much?
Su Ping's eyes widened in disbelief.
And indeed, just like in the mythical tales, this so-called flame mythical beast, the Vermilion Bird's Southern Ming Departed Flame, was a skill?
However, before he could recover from this unprecedented revelation, the Book of Ten Thousand Beings provided a new response based on this feedback:
【The 'Southern Ming Departed Flame' skill is a special skill. It can be cultivated in stages, with the first stage requiring 40,000 points of Tome experience or 4,000 points of universal experience to develop.】
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, his heart stirred.
Sure enough, the Southern Ming Departed Flame was similar to the special dragon breed, the Rainbow Dragon, in that it required a staged process, so he could take his time!
Even so, just the first stage of cultivation required a whopping four thousand points of universal experience.
It was well-known that even when perfecting his external incarnation, he had only used three thousand points.
Of course, at the time of the external incarnation, from Su Ping's perspective, it was already quite perfect and comprehensive. With the combined wisdom of all beastmasters in the world, there were naturally many possibilities.
Seeing all this information, even Su Ping at the time had the urge to give it a try.
But with the Southern Ming Departed Flame, he had just seen a glimpse of it in Little Fire's memory, how could he possibly understand it?
The experience required for such a cultivation perfection, coupled with the Southern Ming Departed Flame, was probably far more outrageous than the external incarnation, and the exaggerated amount of experience needed was only to be expected.
Unfortunately, even if he emptied his entire savings now, it would be difficult to scrape together the full four thousand points of universal experience.
Even if he wanted to see the legendary flame of the mythical Vermilion Bird, at this moment, he could only sigh in longing.
However, being able to confirm the name of this skill was not without its rewards. In his free time, he could thoroughly search for information about the mythical Vermilion Bird and the Southern Ming Departed Flame in the mythical tales, to see if there were any breakthroughs that could reduce the experience required by the Book of Ten Thousand Beings.
After all, if a creature could leave such traces in mythical tales, it was likely that some people would know some secrets.
As for the next few days, he had important matters to attend to. Not to mention the fantasy incarnation from Dragon City Emerald Dreamland, which he had perfected using the Book of Ten Thousand Beings, it was time to start cultivating it for Fatty.
Before Su Ping could think further, a knock sounded at the door:
"Little Ping, are you awake? Your father and Ghost Saint are calling for you to come and eat."
"I'm coming, Uncle Guan!"
Su Ping didn't think further, and with a jolt, he felt refreshed and jumped out of bed.
After washing up, he arrived in the dining room.
The sun shone brightly, and those with a regular routine had already finished their meal, but were still chatting.
Even Ye Zhou, who hadn't appeared yesterday, was there at the table, chatting with Old Man Leng.
Old Man Leng: "Little Ye, do you have any plans to join the military? Our Northern Legion is in dire need of a time-type genius beastmaster like you!"
Ye Zhou: "Thank you, Ghost Saint, for your kind words. As for joining the legion... I haven't thought about it yet. But Su Ping and I still have some research on cultivation, so I don't have that idea for now. I need more experience!"
Old Man Leng: "You're being humble. If not for this profession assessment, you would have probably advanced to the Sovereign rank already. Even though advancing beyond the Sovereign rank is slightly more challenging,
with the Jiang Xuanji's inheritance, you must have some thoughts, right? With your talent, foundation, and the second talent gained from the Spirit Fire Seed, your companion beast's combat power will naturally improve without much effort."
Ye Zhou: "It's manageable. I can feel that advancing to the Sovereign rank does slow down progress a bit, but I'm confident that within two months, I can try to break through to the second stage of the Sovereign rank..."
Just as he finished speaking, Su Ping yawned and walked into the dining room. Su An Yong frowned:
"You little rascal, getting up at this hour?"
Old Man Leng waved his hand: "Ah, Su Ping had a spiritual fluctuation last night, so he should have advanced to the Sovereign rank."
Su Ping continued yawning and plopped down next to Ye Zhou, nodding:
"Yeah, it took a bit longer because I directly advanced..."
Ye Zhou, sitting beside him, pursed his lips and glanced at this unknown little brother who had sat next to him, either intentionally or unintentionally.
You're really something, aren't you?
