Chapter 440: The Nameless Flame? The Vermilion Bird's Skill?
Chapter 440: The Nameless Flame? The Vermilion Bird's Skill?
In the morning sunlight, amidst the verdant foliage, the chirping of cicadas rang out early, and beyond the open window, the cheerful chirping of birds filled the air.
Su Ping, who had finally enjoyed a peaceful sleep, opened his eyes.
With his vast psychic energy, the sense of control it brought made Su Ping feel as if he had the world in his grasp, an illusion of omnipotence.
Su Ping's thoughts stirred, and he once again looked towards the two little ones within the Beastmaster Realm, Qian Yi and Xiao Qing, who had both advanced to the Monarch Rank at that moment.
He exhaled a long breath, then turned his gaze back to the little flame.
The little flame had also awakened, but at this moment, Su Ping fell into deep thought and didn't rush to approach the small creature.
Having reached the Monarch Rank, it was time to decide on his fourth contracted beast.
He was indeed more inclined towards the little flame.
After all, the little flame had been with him for much longer than Xiao Shi.
Moreover, it had been of great help to him, and its original form, the Omnipotent Beast Guide, was just a basic, ordinary fire elemental sprite.
However, the little flame's reluctance to become a contracted beast was difficult to imagine.
Even though it had met the intimacy requirements in the Bestiary, 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 willing to contract with it, but at the moment, the little guy was a bit tied up.
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 glad to see this, as Ye Zhou wanted to fulfill Jiang Xuanji's wish and was researching in this area.
The first breeding goal was to cultivate the Time Projection skill from the Time Hourglass onto Xiao Shi.
It was the first time Su Ping had let someone else breed his contracted beast, and he was curious to see if Ye Zhou could really pull off something special.
Thinking of this, Su Ping shook himself awake.
The feedback from the contract was indeed better the earlier it was established, but the subsequent feedback, based on the cultivator's realm, would also enhance the psychic energy of both the contracted beast and the Beastmaster. Su Ping's advancement in realm would not be lacking in this regard.
With this thought, Su Ping's body once again entered the tumultuous Beastmaster Realm.
He appeared before the awakened little flame.
This was a new change upon reaching the Monarch Rank, and Su Ping was astonished as he examined his own body.
Indeed, this time, he was not entering as a consciousness but as a physical entity.
Upon reaching the Monarch Rank, a Beastmaster could greatly enhance their survival capabilities through this method.
Feeling the solid ground beneath his feet and the sunlight above, no different from the real sun, Su Ping nodded in satisfaction and approached the little flame.
The little one's realm, after another feast of knowledge, had already broken through the Elite Apex and reached the Overlord Rank One.
Sensing Su Ping's arrival, the little flame let out an excited hiss.
Before Su Ping could even speak, the little flame's words made him pause:
"Hissss (Su Ping, you asked yesterday... that... I saw... the origin... has such a breeding memory...)"
Su Ping's eyes lit up.
The ability of the Rootless Flame, the perfect flame ability under the fire elemental trait 'Combustion'?
He hadn't expected that when he asked yesterday, and today, when the little flame devoured and fused with the other Flame Honored's divine sense, it would appear?
He eagerly looked at the little flame:
"Little guy, what exactly did you see? How much of the breeding memories regarding this did you witness? Can you show me?"
"Hissss (Su Ping, we're friends... of course. Even if the origin failed, what I saw was a complete memory of a breeding attempt after multiple failures...)"
Along with the breakthrough to the Overlord Rank, the little flame's intelligence seemed to grow stronger, and its expressions became clearer.
Indeed, if it was as the little flame had said before.
This breeding of the Rootless Flame was undoubtedly of utmost importance to the original Flame Honored.
Otherwise, the little flame wouldn't have sensed such memories at that stage.
In the Flame Honored's residual memories, there must be a wealth of knowledge about this.
And this time, after devouring again, the little flame paid extra attention to absorbing, and indeed found it.
Su Ping didn't care about the Flame Honored's thoughts or ideas; he only needed the breeding process attempts. According to Su Ping's understanding of the Bestiary, there might be a chance for a complete feedback loop.
At most, it would only consume some general experience.
As he thought this, the little flame stood in his hand, and then, a familiar memory scene was conveyed through the psychic energy connection.
It allowed Su Ping to see everything with utmost clarity.
Compared to many previous occasions, the perception in this memory scene was much clearer.
In a world of fiery red, a creature composed purely of fire elements, like a phoenix, looked anxiously at everything before it.
In front of this creature, there were various resources, some familiar to Su Ping, and some unfamiliar.
Among them was a fiery red branch, like a red jade, but within this jade-like branch, there seemed to be an infinite flame burning, and fire element energy. Even the surrounding resources all revolved around this branch as the core, seemingly an unimaginable precious resource.
In the memory scene, the Flame Honored seemed extremely nervous and anxious, and in Su Ping's eyes, there was a sense of unease.
This indicated the importance of everything in the memory for the Flame Honored.
The next second, the Flame Honored slowly moved, not rushing to decide on the resources before it.
Instead, it began a bizarre action.
Su Ping struggled to describe this action; it was as if the phoenix was dancing, but this dancing posture was like a flame quietly burning.
All its bodily movements were identical to the flames.
Even though this was just a memory scene, when Su Ping saw this, he still had an indescribable, bizarre feeling.
He couldn't explain what this feeling was.
But he could clearly see in his line of sight that the Flame Honored's body was gradually changing.
Its body didn't undergo any obvious morphological changes, but around it, there seemed to be an indescribable glow, as if the air was slightly distorted.
It seemed like the substantial temperature of the flames.
However, at this moment, Su Ping's heart suddenly stirred, and a relatively niche term emerged:
'Radiation?'
Indeed, at this moment, the Flame Honored, after dancing gracefully like flames, emanated a feeling from its body.
Radiation.
Su Ping subconsciously held his breath, focusing all his attention on the Flame Honored's memory.
This radiation, along with the fiery aura on the Flame Honored, became increasingly terrifying.
Gradually, in this heightened third-person perspective, the Flame Honored's body disappeared, and at this moment, it turned into light.
Pure flames and the light of flames.
The light of flames occupied the entire world, capturing all sight! Su Ping incredulously watched everything before him, and the next moment, a sharp cry reverberated throughout the world.
The previously scattered resources suddenly flew up, and even the continuous vermilion fire appeared together.
Moreover, these flames were all quite extraordinary.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar.
The colors alone were enough to tell.
Azure, golden, purple, and even cobalt and black flames encircled each other.
These resources, which looked extraordinary in the memory scene, were burning and merging together.
But Su Ping couldn't see what they were merging into.
In the end, the merging light merged with the Flame Honored's ignited flame and its seemingly infinite radiation.
Within the faint light, the Flame Honored's giant head opened, and it swallowed the object in one mouthful.
In an instant, it seemed like just a simple second, and everything before disappeared.
The Flame Honored's body returned to its original form.
A failure?
Undoubtedly, this was the answer Su Ping had known all along.
As expected, Su Ping couldn't determine how much time had passed in this memory fragment, where the concept of time seemed rather vague.
He only knew that after the Flame Honored tensed up, its body, which was originally made of flames, leaked out strands of fire. Then, like a deflated balloon, the flames raged and leaked out from its body.
A mournful cry of the phoenix sounded, and the Flame Honored opened its mouth wide, spitting out a chaotic flame with an indiscernible color.
The memory also stopped completely after the Flame Honored's aura greatly weakened."
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed, and as expected, he couldn't see anything nutritious in the memory!
So... the Bestiary! It's your turn!
It seemed like the Bestiary in his soul had heard his thoughts.
As expected, the Bestiary in his soul instantly flipped to the page recording the Fire Element Beast, and a special message appeared in his feedback:
【Discover the 'Fire Element Beast' and partial Fire Element Companion Beast's special skill cultivation method: Phoenix Blaze.
(Chapter End)
【The 'Nan Ming Li Hua' skill is in an incomplete state. Will it cost 500,000 Elemental Beast Guide experience points or 50,000 universal experience points to develop the 'Nan Ming Li Hua' skill?】
How much?
Su Ping's eyes widened in surprise.
Moreover, it seemed like the Nan Ming Li Hua was indeed the skill of the mythical beast Zhu Que, the Vermilion Bird from ancient legends.
However, before he could fully grasp the significance of this unprecedented number, the Beast Guide provided another new feedback based on this feedback:
【The 'Nan Ming Li Hua' skill is a special skill. It can be developed in stages, and the first stage of development can be unlocked by consuming 40,000 Beast Guide experience points or 4,000 universal experience points!】
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, his heart stirred.
Indeed, the Nan Ming Li Hua was similar to the special dragon species, the Green Dragon, in that it could be developed in stages, so he could take his time!
Even for the first stage of development, it required a whopping four thousand universal experience points.
It was worth noting that even when he perfected the External Avatar, it only cost three thousand points.
Of course, from Su Ping's perspective, the External Avatar was already quite perfect and clear. The combined wisdom of all the beastmasters in the world would naturally have many possibilities.
Seeing all this information, even Su Ping felt the urge to give it a try.
However, the Nan Ming Li Hua had just appeared in the Little Flame's memory, and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.
The experience required to perfect such a skill, coupled with the fact that the Nan Ming Li Hua was probably even more extraordinary than the External Avatar, meant that the experience points needed would be quite substantial.
Unfortunately, even if he emptied his entire savings, he couldn't scrape together the four thousand universal experience points.
Even if he wanted to see how the mythical Zhu Que's flames were cultivated in the legends, at this moment, he could only sigh in frustration.
However, confirming the name of this skill was not without its benefits. During his free time, he could thoroughly research the mythical Zhu Que from the legends, as well as information about the Nan Ming Li Hua, to see if there were any breakthroughs that could potentially reduce the experience points required by the Beast Guide.
After all, if some remnants of these mythical legends remained, it was likely that some people knew some secrets.
As for the next few days, he had some important matters to attend to. Without going into detail, he needed to cultivate the Fantasy Incarnation, which he had already perfected using the Beast Guide, from the Emerald Dreamland of the Dragon City.
Before Su Ping could think further, a knock on the door sounded:
"Keping, your dad and Lord Gui Sheng are calling you for breakfast."
"Coming, Uncle Guan!"
Su Ping didn't think further, and with a jolt, he felt refreshed as he sprang out of bed.
After washing up, he made his way to the dining room.
The sun shone brightly, and those who maintained a regular schedule had already finished eating and were chatting.
Even Ye Zhou, who hadn't appeared yesterday, was unusually present at the table, conversing with Lord Leng in a question-and-answer manner.
Lord Leng: "Little Ye, do you have any plans to join the military? We're in dire need of a talented beastmaster like you in the time-type!"
Ye Zhou: "Thank you, Lord Gui Sheng. As for joining the legion... I haven't decided yet. But I still have some research on cultivation with Su Ping, so I can't go just yet. I need more experience!"
Lord Leng: "You're being modest. If not for the profession assessment, you could have advanced to the Sovereign Rank by now. Even after reaching the Sovereign Rank, advancement becomes slightly more challenging.
But with the inheritance of Jiang Xuanji and your talent and foundation, coupled with the second talent gained from consuming the Mental Flame Seed, your beast's combat power is self-evident. Even in terms of cultivation, it shouldn't be slow, right?"
Ye Zhou: "It's manageable. I can sense that advancement to the Sovereign Rank does slow down a bit. But I'm confident that within two days, I can reach the Second Sovereign Rank..."
Before Ye Zhou could finish, Su Ping yawned as he entered the dining room, and Su Anyong frowned:
"Brat, is this the time for you to be up?"
Lord Leng waved his hand: "Hey, Su Ping had a mental wave disturbance last night, so he should have advanced to the Second Sovereign Rank, right?"
Su Ping continued yawning, sitting down next to Ye Zhou, and nodded:
"Yes, I directly advanced to the Second Sovereign Rank, so it took some extra time."
Ye Zhou, sitting next to him, pursed his lips and glanced at the smelly younger brother who had already taken a seat beside him.
You're the one who can pretend, huh.
