Chapter 455: Little Flame: It was me first...
Chapter 455: Little Flame: It was me first...
"I never expected that the first cultivation would actually succeed. Although I had the memory of Flame Sovereign as assistance, isn't this efficiency a bit too terrifying?"
Zhu Hong rested his chin on his hand, squatting on the Phoenix Heart, looking at the little crow that had just let out a high-pitched cry, seemingly lost in self-doubt.
Su Ping ignored him, stretched out his hand, and the little crow flapped its wings and landed on his palm, allowing Su Ping to casually stroke the little guy's somewhat hard yet warm wings.
"Caw!"
"Good, good, you're the best! The Phoenix Heart is in your hands!"
Su Ping smiled and responded, but he did indeed take a careful look with his Divination Eye at the little crow at this moment:
【Dark Flame Ancient Crow (Wild)】
【Attributes: Fire, Darkness】
【Current Level: Sovereign Rank 1】
【Race Realm: Sovereign Rank 7】
【Race Skills: Firework Throw (Mastery), Flame Flow Robe (Proficiency), Flame Conversion (Mastery), Fire Consumption (Mastery), Smoky Inferno (Proficiency), Unextinguishable Flame (Proficiency), Black Flame Incarnation (Proficiency), Ultra Flame Seed (Beginner)】
In terms of skills, apart from the additional Flame Seed, the little crow's other skills showed no changes.
The only realm that skyrocketed was the Sovereign Rank 1.
It was worth noting that before cultivation, the little crow was only at the Overlord Rank 8, not only crossing several small realms but also directly transcending a major realm, breaking through the Sovereign Rank.
This indicated the significance of the Flame Seed for a fire-type beast like the little crow.
However, just as the Divination Eye was about to be retracted, a strange light suddenly flashed on the little crow's body for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.
This light made Su Ping think he was seeing things, until even Zhu Hong, who had already been extremely enthusiastic about Yun Sheng, spoke softly:
"Evolutionary Light?"
Indeed, the light that just flashed was none other than the Evolutionary Light.
Could the appearance of the Flame Seed allow the Dark Flame Ancient Crow to evolve?
But is it a regular evolution or a reversion evolution?
Although the latter is highly likely to represent the former, the latter holds more significance for Su Ping.
However, this kind of thing requires a thorough investigation, and only by finding some traces of vanished crow-type beasts can one possibly find some clues.
But soon, Su Ping seemed to have thought of something. Why would he need to browse through materials when he had a half-finished fire-type bird encyclopedia by his side?
With this in mind, Su Ping looked at Little Flame:
"Little Flame, in the memory of the Flame Sovereign, did you see any evolved forms of the Dark Flame Ancient Crow, or any traces of the ancient divine beast, the Three-legged Golden Crow?"
Little Flame was slightly startled, then seemed to think for a moment before shaking his head repeatedly.
Su Ping scratched his head. Was there no mention of it in the Flame Sovereign's memory?
But he remembered Little Flame telling him that the Flame Sovereign's memory contained a vast amount of knowledge and understanding about bird-type beasts, even more so than the cultivation secrets useful for human beastmasters.
However, seeing Little Flame like this, Su Ping didn't want to ask further.
Nevertheless, as Su Ping appeared deep in thought, Little Flame, who had ascended a level in thinking ability after reaching the Overlord Rank, fell into contemplation again:
Could this guy be planning to make his mount into a Soulbound Beast? After becoming an Overlord Rank, Little Flame no longer felt as resistant to becoming Su's Soulbound Beast, at least not as much as before.
And after seeing YaYa successfully cultivate the Flame Seed, Little Flame was eager to become this guy's Soulbound Beast.
If he could truly become the Fire Supreme, a Mythic Rank fire-type existence, then becoming the Soulbound Beast of a human he didn't dislike and even respected didn't seem like an unacceptable idea.
Of course.
Little Flame also had his pride.
Recalling the past, he, as a fragment of the Flame Sovereign, had made a vow before Su Ping.
He, as a fragment of the Flame Sovereign, Little Flame, even if he were to be devoured by other fragments, even if he were to dissipate on the spot, would never become a mere human's Soulbound Beast.
So, at this moment, Little Flame was torn between hesitation and indecision.
He couldn't just tell Su Ping, "Your ability is strong, and the Flame Sovereign sees potential in you. Quickly cultivate a Flame Seed for me, then cultivate it into the ancient legendary Vermilion Bird's Southern Bright Flame. Then, let's make a Soul Contract, you and me, and everyone, will benefit!"
That would be too embarrassing!
It would make his vow, spoken with such conviction, seem like an empty promise.
A thought crossed Su Ping's mind, believing that the little flame had submitted due to the Flame Seed. Wasn't it because of this that it had become a petty person who succumbed to the temptation of benefits? No, it was a tiny flame.
This was not right! It was highly inappropriate!
The little flame pondered and felt it couldn't just sit and wait for its fate.
Whether it was becoming Su Ping's companion beast or its yearning for the Flame Seed, it had to make some preparations in advance.
"Hissss (Su Ping... is your fourth companion beast ready?)"
At this moment, Zhu Hong and Yun Sheng were still immersed in the recent cultivation and the abilities of the Flame Seed. Meanwhile, their attention was entirely drawn to the little crow in Su Ping's hand. Upon hearing the little flame's words, Su Ping was slightly startled, then thought for a moment and replied,
"This... I guess it's ready!"
The little flame's 'heart' tightened. Did Su Ping really intend to contract this clumsy bird as a companion beast? Was all this effort in cultivation just preparation for the contract? In fact, Su Ping himself wasn't sure why the little thing asked such a question.
However, recalling the little flame's initial resistance to becoming a human companion beast, Su Ping also felt a bit apprehensive.
He did have high hopes for the little flame becoming his companion beast.
But he didn't want to force it.
At this moment, as the little flame inquired about this matter, was it because it was worried that Su Ping would use the cultivation of the Flame Seed to coerce it into becoming his companion beast?
Su Ping was unsure.
So, after some thought, he gave a relatively affirmative answer, trying to put the little flame's mind at ease.
However, what he didn't expect was that with the promotion to Overlord Rank, the little flame's self-thinking ability greatly improved, and it no longer strongly resisted becoming his companion beast.
In this eerie yet unique atmosphere, the little flame thought for a moment and spoke again:
"Hissss (What?)"
Su Ping then explained, "Didn't you see? I placed Xiao Shi in the Beastmaster's Domain earlier, and that's the Book of Time! In my opinion, if after some time, I still don't find any particularly favored companion beast, I'll directly contract Xiao Shi."
Was it really that guy?
The little flame's 'heart' relaxed a little, then became slightly indignant again!
"Hissss (That guy, he looks arrogant, and seems to have no brains at all!)"
Hmm?
Su Ping was slightly startled as he listened to the little flame's mental communication.
Had these two little guys interacted?
No, that couldn't be right. Although Xiao Shi was currently in his Beastmaster's Domain, it had been researching the dragon pearl left by that Celestial Dragon all this time! Moreover, even before that, the little flame had been busy devouring flames, so they hadn't had any contact, right?
After all, upon returning, Xiao Shi had mostly been in Ye Zhou's hands.
However, regarding the little flame's evaluation, Su Ping felt it was somewhat fair.
"It's not bad. Xiao Shi's talent and abilities are quite good, and he has great potential for the future. I'm also very interested in Xiao Shi's changes!"
Very interested!
The little flame was slightly indignant! Initially, wasn't Su Ping interested in it and Yan Zun? Why did he change his mind so quickly? Humans!
Just as the little flame was about to speak again to express its opinion and indirectly convey to Su Ping that it was no longer so resistant to becoming a human companion beast, the two humans who were like lightbulbs spoke up again:
"Su Ping, now that the cultivation of the Flame Seed is successful, does that mean it's mine...?"
The one who spoke was none other than Yun Sheng, who had been impatient all along.
However, Yun Sheng's talent wasn't the True Spirit Eye, so she didn't sense the Flame Seed's abilities right away. Now, after confirming the success and learning about the Flame Seed's abilities through Zhu Hong and her companion beast, the Flame Phoenix named Ali, who was highly sensitive to fire-type companion beasts, Yun Sheng finally couldn't hold back.
Su Ping's attention was naturally drawn to Yun Sheng, and he replied:
"Senior Yun Sheng, Ali is already a Holy Spirit Rank existence. To cultivate a Flame Seed, it's unlikely for an ordinary Scorching Soul to succeed."
Looking at Yun Sheng's slightly dimmed big eyes, Su Ping also felt a little soft-hearted. This senior had given him a lot of help.
So he thought for a moment and said:
"But it's not impossible. First, as I mentioned earlier, if we can find a mythic-level fire-type resource and force-feed it to the Scorching Soul, making it directly use Jade and Stone Destruction, the chances of success are low. One reason is whether the Scorching Soul can refine a mythic-level resource, and the latter is really hard to find."
(End of Chapter)
The second method, relatively more reliable, is to find one or even several Scorching Souls, and then cultivate them normally, allowing them to evolve. After the cultivation level reaches the Holy Spirit Rank, resources can be used to enhance the Flame Seed, and perhaps with enough resources, victory can be achieved...
However, the latter may require a long time."
Zhu Hong, who was standing beside him, nodded in agreement:
"Su Ping's second method is indeed more reliable!"
Yun Sheng paused for a moment, then clenched his teeth, "Alright, I'll search for the Scorching Soul, and then find the evolution information of this Flame Seed. But when the time comes, Su Ping, can you help me cultivate it?"
Su Ping nodded:
"No problem, as long as you trust me."
Although cultivating this Flame Seed is a risky endeavor, there's no other way.
At most, he won't invest any emotional attachment, and that's fine.
"I believe in you now, what do you think, Su Ping? How should we ignite this Flame Seed and allocate resources for it? Do you have any ideas?"
With these words, not only Yun Sheng, but even Zhu Hong looked at Su Ping.
Su Ping, of course, shook his head. Aside from the fact that the cultivation of Nanming Lihuo hasn't been unlocked yet, even if it was unlocked, he couldn't just say it directly.
To directly cultivate this Flame Seed is already quite frightening).
There's no need to continue.
"It's a pity, Su Ping, how many Ultra Skills have you cultivated so far?"
Zhu Hong licked his lips, which had become dry from the flames, and took the initiative to calculate for Su Ping:
"The Sun Heart of the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf, the Heavenly Circuit Body of the Tree Crown Wolf King, the Thorn Garden of Old Liu Bingya's Winter Child, the Illusion Embodiment of Long City, and the current Flame Seed.
This is not all, the Ultra Skills on the Companion Beasts you've cultivated, Su Ping, you are fully qualified to participate in the World Tamer Lifetime Achievement Award selection next year, and there's a high possibility that you'll become a Master Tamer like Charles did back then.
Su Ping smiled. This World Tamer Lifetime Achievement Award selection is something he knows about; it's held once every ten years and is the highest stage that all tamers in Bluesphere aspire to reach.
The awards are divided into different categories for different cultivation masters, and the prizes are not only material rewards but also the more important honor and reputation.
As for the Master Tamer title, it's not awarded every time, and Charles, the undead cultivation master, is a rare case.
However, Su Ping didn't pay special attention to this.
His current reputation is already enough, and he doesn't need any additional recognition.
When the Heavenly Circuit Body reached the Ultra Top 98, it was already sufficient.
As Su Ping spoke eloquently, the little flame on his shoulder burned gently.
Zhu Hong didn't stay for long. Although the significance of the Flame Seed is extraordinary, for now, as long as it hasn't been ignited and hasn't become Nanming Lihuo, there's no need to rush.
He still has a lot to do.
As for Yun Sheng, after learning about the cultivation conditions of Flame Phoenix, he couldn't wait to leave and search for the Scorching Soul.
After the two of them left, Su Ping finally remembered the little flame on his shoulder. He thought for a moment and said:
"Little guy, don't worry. After I get the Magma Heart delivered here, I'll cultivate your Flame Seed. And rest assured, I won't use this to force you to become my Companion Beast! With Xiao Shi here, you don't need to worry about that!"
Obviously, Su Ping felt the strangeness of the little flame. When it was concerned about the Companion Beast contract, it naturally thought that the little flame was worried about this aspect.
However, when the little flame heard this, it should have been excited, but it couldn't bring itself to feel happy.
If it had facial features and eyes, Su Ping would see that the little flame was looking at him with extreme resentment:
'Why did it become like this? The first human Beastmaster who wanted to make a Soul Contract...'
'It's that book again! Damn it, it was me first, clearly it was me first!'
Unfortunately, Su Ping's spiritual communication couldn't hear the little flame's inner voice. The self-proclaimed Su Da Cultivation Master, with a radiant personality, walked lightly from the Phoenix Heart. He was going to take Little Crow to search for this type of Companion Beast that had been lost in history, to see if there was a possibility of finding a devolved evolution body.
