Chapter 455: Little Flame: It was me first...

"I never expected that the first cultivation would actually succeed. With the assistance of the Flame Venerable's memory, is this efficiency a bit too terrifyingly high?"

Zhu Hong rested his chin on his hand, squatting on the Phoenix Heart, gazing at the little crow that let out a shrill cry, seemingly lost in self-doubt.

Su Ping paid him no heed, extending his hand. The little crow flapped its wings and flew into his palm, allowing Su Ping to caress its somewhat rigid yet warm feathers.

"Caw!"

"Good, good, you're the best! The Phoenix Heart is yours!"

Su Ping smiled and responded, but he did indeed carefully examine the little crow with his Spirit Vision:

【Dark Inferno Crow (Wild)】

【Attributes: Fire, Darkness】

【Current Level: Monarch First Rank】

【Racial Realm: Monarch Seventh Rank】

【Racial Skills: Firework Throw (Proficient), Flowing Flame Robe (Skilled), Flame Conversion (Proficient), Fire Consumption (Proficient)", "stdin>", line 1

In terms of skills, aside from the addition of this Fire Seed, the little crow had also mastered Firework Throw, Flowing Flame Robe, Flame Conversion, Fire Consumption, Smoke and Fire, Eternal Flame, Black Flame Incarnation, and Super Fire Seed.

Its level had skyrocketed to the Monarch First Rank.

It was evident that this Fire Seed held significant importance for a fire-type pet like the little crow.

However, just as the Spirit Vision was retracted, a mysterious light flashed on the little crow's body for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

This light made Su Ping initially think he was seeing things, until even Zhu Hong and the already fiery Cloud Saint spoke softly:

"Evolutionary Light?"

Indeed, the light that had just flashed was none other than the Evolutionary Light.

Could the appearance of the Fire Seed enable the Dark Inferno Crow to evolve? But would it be a regular evolution or a regressive evolution?

Although the latter had a high probability of implying the former, the latter held more reference value for Su Ping.

However, this matter required thorough research, as only some of the crows that had vanished from history might provide a glimmer of possibility.

But soon, Su Ping seemed to recall something. He didn't need to flip through pages; he had a half-finished fire-type bird encyclopedia right in front of him.

With this thought, Su Ping turned to Little Flame:

"Little Flame, in the Flame Venerable's memory, did you see any evolved forms of the Dark Inferno Crow or traces of the ancient divine beast, the Three-Legged Golden Crow?"

Little Flame paused slightly, then seemed to answer without hesitation, shaking his head repeatedly.

Su Ping scratched his head, wondering if the Flame Venerable's memory lacked this information.

But he remembered Little Flame telling him that the Flame Venerable's memory contained extensive knowledge and understanding of bird-type pets, even more so than the cultivation secrets useful to human beastmasters.

However, seeing Little Flame's reaction, he didn't press further.

Yet, as Su Ping appeared deep in thought, Little Flame, who had ascended to the Overlord rank and experienced a boost in cognitive abilities, fell into contemplation:

Could he be planning to make his mount into a bonded pet? After witnessing Ya Ya's successful cultivation of the Fire Seed, Little Flame couldn't wait to become this guy's pet.

If he could truly become the Fire Supreme and attain the mythical rank as a fire-type being, then becoming the pet of this not-so-disliked and respected human didn't seem like such an unacceptable idea.

Of course.

Little Flame also had his pride.

Recalling the past, he had made a solemn vow in front of Su Ping.

Even if he were to be devoured by other fragments, even if he were to dissipate on the spot, he would never become the pet of a mere human.

Hence, at this moment, Little Flame was torn between hesitation and indecision.

He couldn't just blurt out to Su Ping, "Your abilities are exceptional, and the main body approves of you. Quickly cultivate a Fire Seed for me, then cultivate it into the Southern Bright Flame of the Vermilion Bird from ancient legends, and then let's all get along well by signing a soul contract!"

That would be too disgraceful! It would make his previous vow as empty as a fart.

This was also what Su Ping thought, believing that Little Flame had submitted due to the fire seed. Wouldn't that make him a petty person who succumbed to personal gain... No, it would make him a petty Little Flame!

This was not right! It was very inappropriate!

So, Little Flame thought it over and felt that he couldn't just sit and wait for his demise.

Whether it was becoming Su Ping's beast or his longing for the fire seed, he had to make some preparations in advance.

"Hissss (Su Ping... is your fourth beast ready?)"

At this moment, Zhu Hong and Cloud Saint were still immersed in the recent cultivation and the power of the fire seed. Simultaneously, their attention was entirely drawn to the little crow in Su Ping's hand. Hearing Little Flame's words, Su Ping was slightly startled and then thought for a moment.

"This... I guess it's ready!"

Little Flame's 'heart' tightened. Could it be that Su Ping really intended to contract this clumsy bird as a bonded beast? Was all this effort in cultivation for the sake of preparing for a contract? In truth, Su Ping hadn't figured out>", line 1

In fact, Su Ping hadn't decided why this little thing would ask such a question.

However, thinking back to Little Flame's initial resistance to becoming a human's beast, Su Ping's heart couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

He genuinely had high hopes for Little Flame becoming his beast.

But he didn't want to force the other party, either.

And at this moment, when Little Flame brought up this matter, could it be that he was worried that Su Ping would use the fire seed's cultivation to coerce him into becoming his beast?

Su Ping's heart was filled with uncertainty.

So, after thinking it over, he gave a relatively affirmative answer, trying to ease Little Flame's mind.

However, what he didn't expect was that with the promotion to Overlord rank, the influence of the main body on itself was removed, and Little Flame's self-thinking ability greatly enhanced. He was no longer as resistant to becoming Su Ping's beast.

In this bizarre and unique atmosphere, Little Flame thought it over and spoke again:

"Hissss (What is it?)"

Only then did Su Ping say:

"Didn't you see it too? Earlier, I placed Xiao Shi in the Beast Control Space. That's the Book of Time! In my opinion, if after some time, there's still no particularly favored beast, I'll directly contract Xiao Shi."

Could it be that guy?

Little Flame's heart slightly relaxed, and then he became indignant again!

"Hissss (That guy, he seems so arrogant and brainless!)"

Hmm?

Su Ping was slightly startled as he listened to Little Flame's mental communication.

Did these two little guys have contact?

No, right?

Although Xiao Shi was still in his Beast Control Space, he had been researching the Dragon Orb left behind by that Celestial Dragon!

And even before that, while Little Flame was busy devouring flames, the two little ones hadn't interacted, right?

After all, after returning, most of Xiao Shi's time was spent in Ye Zou's hands.

However, regarding Little Flame's evaluation, Su Ping felt it was somewhat acceptable.

"It's not bad. Xiao Shi's talent is quite special, and he has great potential for the future. I'm also very interested in Xiao Shi's changes!"

Very interested!

Little Flame was somewhat indignant!

Initially, wasn't Su Ping interested in him and Flame Venerable? How could he change his mind so quickly?

Humans!

However, just as Little Flame was about to speak and express his opinion, wanting to indirectly tell Su Ping that he wasn't as opposed to becoming a human's bonded beast anymore, the two humans, like lightbulbs, spoke again:

"The fire seed's cultivation was successful. Is that mine...?"

The one who spoke was none other than Cloud Saint, who had already been impatient.

However, Cloud Saint's talent wasn't True Sight, and she didn't sense the fire seed's power right away. Now, through Zhu Hong and her flame phoenix named Ali, who was sensitive to fire-type beasts, she finally learned of the fire seed's ability and couldn't hold back any longer.

Su Ping's heart softened slightly as he looked at Cloud Saint's darkened eyes. This senior had given him a lot of help.

So, he thought for a moment and said:

"However, it's not impossible. First, as I mentioned earlier, if we can find a legendary fire-type resource and force-feed it to Scorching Soul, making it directly use Jade and Stone Incineration, the success rate is low. One, whether Scorching Soul can refine the legendary resource, and the latter is really hard to find."

The second method is relatively more reliable—finding one or even several Scorching Souls, then cultivating them normally until they complete their evolution and their grade is raised to the Holy Spirit Rank. After that, using a large amount of resources to fill them up, and employing Jade and Stone Incineration on the Flame Phoenix with double the quantity, might just work…

However, the latter method might take a very long time."

Zhu Hong, standing beside him, also nodded:

"Su Ping's second method is indeed more reliable!"

Cloud Saint pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth: "Alright, I will thoroughly search for the whereabouts of the Scorching Souls and find information on their evolution. But when the time comes, Su Ping and Master Zhu, can you help me with the cultivation?"

Su Ping nodded:

"No problem, as long as you trust me."

Although cultivating a pet beast for the sole purpose of sending it to its death was a bit unsettling, there was no other way with Seed Cultivation. At most, he would not invest any emotional attachment.

"I trust you completely now, Su Ping. How about it, what are your thoughts on the subsequent ignition of the fire seed? How should we allocate resources for the ignition?"

Upon hearing this, not only Cloud Saint but also Zhu Hong looked at Su Ping.

Su Ping, of course, shook his head. Not only was the subsequent cultivation of the Southern Ming Departed Flame not yet unlocked, but even if it were, he couldn't just blurt it out.

Cultivating the fire seed to this point was already quite impressive.

There was no need to push it further.

"Unfortunately, speaking of which, Su Ping, how many Super Fire Seeds have you cultivated and improved?"

Zhu Hong licked his lips, which were somewhat dry from the heat of the flames, and began to count for Su Ping:

"Back then, the Sun Heart of the Wolf of Ten Thousand Trees, the subsequent Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body, the Thorn Garden of the Crowned Wolf King, and the many contributions of the Frost Teeth White Wolf's Winter's Son. The Fantasy Incarnation of Dragon City, and now this fire seed.

Not to mention the Super Fire Seeds on the pet beasts you have cultivated. Wow, Su Ping, you are fully qualified to participate in next year's World Beastmaster Lifetime Achievement Award, and you might even earn the title of Grandmaster of Cultivation like Charles did."

Su Ping smiled. He knew about the World Beastmaster Lifetime Achievement Award, which was held every ten years and was the highest stage that every beastmaster on the Blue Planet aspired to reach.

The awards were divided into various categories for different cultivation masters, and the rewards were substantial, not only in material terms but also in terms of prestige and recognition.

As for the title of Grandmaster of Cultivation, it wasn't awarded every time, and a necromancy-focused beastmaster like Charles was indeed rare.

However, Su Ping wasn't particularly concerned about this. His current reputation was already quite solid. When the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body entered the top 98 of the Super Fire Seeds, it was enough.

Watching Su Ping talk confidently, Little Flame's flames burned slowly.

Zhu Hong didn't stay long, although the fire seed was significant, as long as it wasn't ignited and didn't become the Southern Ming Departed Flame, there was no need to rush.

He had many other matters to attend to.

As for Cloud Saint, after learning the conditions for the Flame Phoenix's Seed Cultivation, she had already left in a hurry to search for the Scorching Soul.

Once the two had left, Su Ping remembered Little Flame still perched on his shoulder. He thought for a moment and then said:

"Little one, don't worry. Your fire seed will be Cultivated once the Magma Heart is air-freighted. And don't worry, I won't use this to force you to become my pet beast! With Xiao Shi around, you don't need to worry about that!"

Clearly, Su Ping sensed Little Flame's unusual behavior, as it had suddenly asked about the Bonded Beast. He naturally thought Little Flame was concerned about that aspect.

However, upon hearing this news that should have been extremely exciting, Little Flame didn't feel happy at all.

If it had facial features and eyes, Su Ping would have seen that Little Flame's gaze was filled with deep resentment:

'Why did it have to turn out this way? The first human Beastmaster who wanted to form a soul contract with me...'

'And that book! How infuriating, it was me first, clearly it was me first!'

Unfortunately, Su Ping's mental communication couldn't hear Little Flame's inner thoughts. The great beastmaster, Su Ping, feeling a sense of personal accomplishment, walked down from the Phoenix Heart with light steps. He planned to take Little Flame and the young crow to search for lost pet beasts in history, to see if there was any possibility of ancestral evolution.
