Chapter 442: His Aspiration to Ascend
Chapter 442: His Aspiration to Ascend
Treehua City.
This city was once the true provincial capital of Jianghai Province.
However, decades ago, after the development of Xihong Lake and the expansion of the East Sea, the central hub was relocated to Linzhou.
Due to this historical background, Treehua City's prosperity was not any less than Linzhou.
It was one of the top three most populous cities in Jianghai Province.
Within Treehua City, in the suburban area, there was a very special region.
Treehua City was adjacent to Linzhou, but due to Linzhou's barrier and geographical location,
the surrounding suburbs were true suburbs, free from the disturbances of wild Contracted Beasts, and many citizens still lived there.
However, this place was an exception.
Small hills surrounded it, and within, a secluded garden stood, shrouded in mystery and profound depth.
Ordinary people had no idea what this place was or who lived there.
Only a few knew that this place was considered a significant location for the elites of Jianghai Province, even in Dragon Nation.
The Dong family, after facing suppression from other aristocratic families for so many years, managed to survive the turmoil and retain their status as a powerful clan.
With such a profound background, even Qin Erlong, the president of Jianghai Province Beast Tamer Association, would not casually provoke them unless necessary.
Su Ping had been to Treehua City once.
However, he did not explore it in detail; it was only when he accompanied Dong Muchun to sweep through the many leftover secret realms in Linzhou that he took a glance at this place.
Now, as he arrived at the so-called Mirror Void Manor, he couldn't help but nod.
Aristocratic families were indeed aristocratic families. Whether it was the Rong family before or the Dong family now, their profound heritage could be seen from their place of residence.
However, the Rong family, with its vast business empire, had numerous branches in addition to the main lineage of Elder Rong Bao.
Therefore, their family mansion was like a small kingdom, and even Su Ping had only moved within a limited area.
But the Dong family was slightly different. Despite being a large clan, only this one lineage remained, so their residence was small but concentrated with the essence.
This was evident from the moment Su Ping entered the Mirror Void Manor; he sensed a similar aura to his 'Heart of Spring,' indicating that the manor had a spiritual land with benefits for human Beastmasters.
However, Su Ping had no time to further examine the Mirror Void Manor.
Dong Muchuan did not enter; instead, Dong Lingxuan, the elderly patriarch of the Dong family, and the seemingly unreliable Mirror Ancestor 'Multiverse Reflection Mirror' awaited Su Ping within the manor.
After a brief greeting, inside the innermost room of the Mirror Void Manor, only Su Ping and the floating Multiverse Reflection Mirror remained.
"Mirror Ancestor, didn't you leave your mirror realm anchor in the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits? Why not just find me there instead of having me come to Treehua City in person?"
Su Ping sat down and looked at the Multiverse Reflection Mirror, who had previously engaged in deep communication.
Within the mirror, the twin-tailed, anime-like, pink-haired girl appeared again, smiling slyly at Su Ping, but she did not directly answer. Instead, she asked,
"Su Ping, your harvest from the Imperial Capital trip was quite impressive, wasn't it?"
Of course, it wouldn't say that the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits was now filled with too many formidable beings, and there was a high chance of being discovered. That was why it had Su Ping come to Treehua City in person. Moreover, it indeed had some important matters to discuss with Su Ping.
"Not bad! I had some small gains."
Su Ping nodded.
The Multiverse Reflection Mirror glanced at Su Ping, and even with its anime-like eyes, there was still an indescribable depth in its gaze.
The next sentence made Su Ping furrow his brows slightly:
"If even the Dragon Seal is considered a small gain, then in Dragon Nation, there's probably nothing significant left to gain."
Su Ping looked at the Multiverse Reflection Mirror before him, but the latter didn't seem to mind. Instead, it continued to smile and say,
"Su Ping, if you aspire to contend for that position, the Dong family and I will support you with all our might!"
"Hmm?"
Su Ping's eyebrows knitted slightly.
However, this reaction caused the Multiverse Reflection Mirror to misunderstand Su Ping's thoughts. This Mirror Ancestor, whose true cultivation had reached the Peak Holy Spirit, or even half a step away from the legendary level, spoke with a tone that had never been so soft:
"Su Ping, neither the Dong family nor I have any ill intentions regarding the Dragon Seal. It's not something that can be easily probed. In the upper echelons of Dragon Nation, it's already common knowledge!
"Possessing the Dragon Seal represents access to the core of Dragon Nation, and in the future, there's a possibility of succeeding that position after that person. This is inevitable."
However, Su Ping, even with his outstanding nurturing abilities, would not be the only candidate. After all, to secure that position, one needs strength, a solid foundation, and the recognition of various powers.
Su Ping shook his head.
"Senior, you misunderstood. I've never thought about those things."
"Su Ping, it doesn't matter if you want it or not. What matters is if the future Dragon Seal holders will want it. If you get involved in this struggle..."
The Multiverse Reflection Mirror's words were cut off by Su Ping:
"Senior, I came here only for the spatial teleportation device. I appreciate your help, and I'll remember it. If there's anything you need me to do, you can just tell me directly. But in the future, it's better not to say too much about this."
"Su Ping..."
The pink-haired loli in the Multiverse Reflection Mirror blinked, opened her mouth, and finally sighed softly.
"Kid, with your personality, if you really get involved in this, you'll definitely be at a disadvantage! Sometimes, it's not just about having talent and ability to awe everything. Even that legendary figure has many times..."
From her mouth, Su Ping heard a familiar term and smiled slightly.
"Senior, who knows what the future holds?"
The pink-haired loli in the mirror seemed to not understand Su Ping's meaning, so he continued.
"The position you mentioned, I'm not interested in it. I don't know what the Dragon Saint Legend needs to do, nor do I know if someone as powerful as him would have any difficulties or be forced to do something.
But I believe that for these things, being a legendary rank might be enough. However, if it's just for these things, then in the future, if I want to go further or even surpass, there might be some challenges.
If possible, I still hope to put more effort into what I consider more meaningful, rather than wasting my mind and time on these things."
Go further? The pink-haired loli in the Multiverse Reflection Mirror froze in place, staring blankly at Su Ping.
Even after Su Ping brought out the mirror-shaped spatial teleportation device and mechanically explained its usage, it wasn't until ten minutes after he left that the pink-haired loli in the mirror finally reacted to the impact of his words.
Just as the spatial push-pull gateway was about to be entered by another figure.
The head of the Dong family, Dong Lingxuan, walked in.
"Mirror Ancestor, what did Su Ping say?"
Dong Lingxuan looked anxiously at the pink-haired loli in the mirror.
The latter barely regained her senses, looked at Dong Lingxuan, and then shook her head.
"He probably refused my help and the Dong family's bet."
Dong Lingxuan's eyebrows furrowed.
"He didn't value the Dong family's power and your strength? Or..."
"No, I didn't even mention those things to him..."
The pink-haired loli in the Multiverse Reflection Mirror seemed distracted and shook her head.
"He said his ambition lies elsewhere."
Dong Lingxuan's aged face suddenly frowned, unsure if he was angry or disappointed.
"Since he has been approached by the Dragon Gate Seal, how could he not participate in this dispute? He's too calm and peaceful, not like someone who accomplishes great things! Truly, he's not fit for grand schemes!"
Even such a matter is not a problem.
As expected, within his line of sight, the old ancestor's consciousness once again began to drift in thought.
What did that person just say to the old ancestor? Why is he so distracted?
After a moment of consideration, Dong Lingxuan finally asked, "Old Ancestor, what did Su Ping tell you?"
The Multiverse Reflection Mirror snapped out of its previous trance and turned to look at the no-longer-young Xiao Xuanzi before it.
It still remembered that when it first saw Dong Lingxuan decades ago, he said he would make the Dong family the top noble house and become a legendary Beastmaster.
Later, when Dong Lingxuan was young and confirmed his position as the next head of the family, he said he would become the leader of the Dong family's revival.
Then, twenty years ago, there was a purge targeting the noble houses.
The no-longer-young Xiao Xuanzi, like a warrior cutting off his arm, abandoned countless branches of the Dong family, causing bloodshed but preserving the Dong family's lineage and its most important ancestor.
But after that day, Xiao Xuanzi never spoke of such ambitions again.
Now, in his sixties, but looking like an old man in his eighties, this 'Xiao Xuanzi' remained stuck at the peak of the Imperial Rank, never finding the motivation to break through again.
The Multiverse Reflection Mirror remained silent. This pink-haired 2D girl, who was always lively but unreliable in front of Su Ping, felt a strange sensation she couldn't quite describe.
However, seeing the curiosity in Xiao Xuanzi's eyes, it finally spoke slowly, "He said he wanted to become a god..."
...
After returning from Treehua City, Su Ping didn't rush to arrange the teleportation mirrors right away.
There was no need to hurry with this.
The internal transportation system was already in place, and there was no immediate need for it. In the future, when it could connect to the West Dragon Lake, the entire Earth's Heart, and other facilities, it would be even less urgent, as those constructions were not yet completed.
On the way back, Dong Mu Yun, the Dong Queen, showed great interest in expanding her business empire. With Su Ping's reputation, her business, Pingyun, had expanded nationwide within less than a year.
In just under a year, Pingyun's business had skyrocketed.
Additionally, after this incident, Su Ping handed over the improved version of the Fire Spirit's demonic medicine, which he casually named the Flame Heart No. 2. If it passed the tests, it could be implemented nationwide immediately.
At the same time, others were unaware, but Su Ping already knew about the beginning of artificial mechanical core production.
This would significantly reduce the cost of mechanical cores in the upcoming period.
From the previous cost of over one billion, it would drop tenfold, at most a few thousand, and with further technological development, it might even be possible to create mechanical cores for a few million or even a few hundred thousand, making it not impossible.
With this advanced technology, the future implementation of the Dream Heart would also become more effortless, with the only limitation being the activation cost of Fei Fei.
After discussing Pingyun's future plans, the Dong Queen was once again filled with enthusiasm. Her company continued to expand, and if the national market stabilized, she might even consider expanding beyond the Dragon Nation.
This was her value, especially as Su Ping's shareholding increased in value. If she didn't work hard enough, she might even feel guilty.
Su Ping himself didn't particularly care about these matters, and it was because of Dong Mu Yun that he didn't need to worry about finances.
So, relatively speaking, he was more concerned about another matter.
Upon returning to the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits without using the Proud Dragon but instead driving, it was already late afternoon when they arrived.
Back at the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits, the most important news of the past few days finally arrived.
The mining of the Primagnetic Shock Gold vein was finally complete, stretching for about three kilometers, with an estimated three thousand tons of Primagnetic Shock Gold, including a single vein of Primagnetic Shock Gold, all of which had been excavated.
These were Su Ping's thoughts on Fei Fei's evolution.
At the same time, in addition to evolution, the preparation for the super-tier Fantasy Incarnation in the Emerald Dreamland of the Dragon City had already been made.
Su Ping rubbed his palms in anticipation, knowing that tonight, he wouldn't be able to meditate.
However, just as he was about to embark on this endeavor, a phone call interrupted him, and Yun Sheng's voice came through the phone.
"Su Ping, I'll be at your place soon."
