Chapter 462: Light and Darkness! Three-Legged Golden Phoenix and Sunlight Crow!

"Flame Sun Crow, Night King Crow..."

Su Ping sat in front of the giant office of the Mechanical Heart, repeating the information displayed on the screen.

Here, within the Mechanical Heart, was Fei Fei's control room.

Fei Fei had control over online information and retained the computing power of its mechanical intelligence.

It had an extremely strong analytical ability and lightning-fast processing speed for some online information.

As the most trusted assistant of Beastmasters, many high-ranking Beastmasters chose to contract a Mechanical Beast as their companion.

The main reason was the convenience it offered.

And now, Su Ping was also enjoying this convenience.

Through Fei Fei's connection, whether it was on the regular internet or within the various internal networks that Su Ping had access to, he could gather information.

From the data analysis over the past two days, the pet beast with the highest possibility of having a bloodline regression with Yan Yan Ancient Crow was these two crow-type pets.

Both of these were special pet beasts that had appeared in historical records.

One had the potential to reach the peak of the Imperial Rank, and the other even reached the Holy Spirit Rank.

At the same time, the development directions of these two were completely different.

The Flame Sun Crow with the potential to reach the peak of the Imperial Rank was naturally a powerful Fire-type pet beast.

As for the Night King Crow, which had reached the Holy Spirit Rank in racial potential, its mastery of flame elements was limited, and its overall power source was still based on the Dark element.

Flames were merely an added bonus.

Initially, Ye Zhou and the others speculated that the degenerated form of the legendary divine beast, the Three-Legged Golden Phoenix, was the Fire-Eating Crow.

But in the end, this was just a guess.

No one dared to confirm the actual situation.

Yan Yan Ancient Crow, with its Flame and Dark attributes, almost evenly split between the two.

If Su Ping had to choose, he would naturally hope that the Little Crow's bloodline evolution would be that of the Flame Sun Crow.

Because this form was indeed somewhat similar to the legendary Three-Legged Golden Phoenix.

On the contrary, the Night King Crow with its Holy Spirit Rank potential lacked that feeling.

Even with its higher potential, it didn't meet Su Ping's expectations.

Su Ping frowned slightly as he read the introductions of these two pet beasts.

Currently, the Night King Crow was out of the question.

Ya Ya already had the legendary Fire Seed within her.

Focusing on nurturing the Fire Seed, it was unlikely that the Fire element would disappear, right? But would the process of igniting the Fire Seed affect the Little Crow's bloodline regression?

Would it even evolve into an unprecedented special evolved form?

Sitting before the massive Mechanical Intelligence screen, Su Ping fell into deep thought.

With no reference points and an unknown path ahead, this was indeed a rare experience.

If possible, he would naturally prefer to gather the required experience points for the second stage of the Southern Ming Departed Flame's breeding and then carefully correspond it to the Southern Ming Departed Flame's breeding before attempting to ignite the Little Crow's Fire Seed.

However, the experience point requirement for the Southern Ming Departed Flame was simply too high.

Eight thousand universal experience points were needed, and even if Su Ping squeezed out the last drop from the Heart of All Souls, it wasn't even half of what was required.

The Little Crow's body glowed with the light of evolution, making Su Ping somewhat reluctant.

Fire Seed cultivation was an area he had never ventured into before.

Even if the analysis of the second stage of the Southern Ming Departed Flame's breeding was completed, would it be as simple as following the breeding process of the Southern Ming Departed Flame?

Would he be able to breed two Southern Ming Departed Flames?

It was obvious even without thinking that such a skill would require specific resources in the later stages of breeding.

The Fusang Branch used by the Flame Lord in the memory scene, would he need that in the future? Legendary resources were unique.

Although it was still early to use legendary resources, what if something unexpected happened?

The Little Crow wasn't his contracted pet beast, but if it could develop in a better direction, why not?

Therefore, the Little Crow couldn't be bred like Little Flame, simply following the Southern Ming Departed Flame's breeding process.

Even if the Book of Ten Thousand Beings deciphered the ignition process of the Southern Ming Departed Flame, could it be as simple as substituting resources and applying it to the Little Crow?

This was obviously uncertain.

So, should he attempt the ignition himself?

In fact, during this period, aside from worrying about the financial crisis of the Heart of All Souls, Su Ping's entire focus was indeed on the cultivation and ignition of the Fire Seed.

As for the instructions from the Dragon Legend, the Sea Princess didn't seem to be in a hurry.

After all, it wasn't their pet beast's matter, and he had already cultivated his external incarnation.

What was the rush?

As for skills like Dream Heart, Sea Acceptance, and others, they couldn't be rushed either.

For now, nothing was more important than the Little Crow's evolution and the cultivation of the Fire Seed.

So, where should he start?

The Fireseed's skill, through the Eye of Telepathy, provides a clear understanding of its abilities.

By enhancing the pet's capabilities and utilizing the available resources, the process of igniting the Fireseed is achieved through combat.

So, what kind of flame is Little Crow? A Dark Flame!

This is completely different from Su Ping's ideas and the evolution of Little Crow.

In fact, it's the exact opposite.

Should he persist with his own ideas and find a way to change? Evolving towards the legendary form of the Three-Legged Golden Phoenix? Or should he follow Little Crow's growth, allowing the two attributes to merge and diverge further? A dark flame...

At this thought, Su Ping's mind stirred, and he looked at the massive screen:

"Fatty, search for me. I want information on dark-type and fire-type pet beasts that may have appeared in history..."

"Yes, master..."

Soon, numerous pieces of information appeared, and this time, Su Ping didn't limit his search to crow-type pets.

Consequently, a plethora of data emerged, including those that could still be bred and evolved, as well as rumors of those that had disappeared from history.

Most of them were primarily dark and fire-type.

Some were repetitive.

Under the fusion of elements, the combination of darkness and flame resulted in low-temperature, highly corrosive flames, akin to bone-eating ulcers.

However, as he scrolled through the information, Fatty's voice chimed in:

"Master, there's one more. This pet seems to be a crow-type, but only rumors remain, and its existence is not confirmed!"

Hmm? Su Ping furrowed his brows and immediately instructed, "Bring up the information."

In an instant, a text document appeared before Su Ping.

There were no pictures or videos, only words.

Yet, the content of this text made Su Ping pause.

It was indeed just a text, with no actual description of the pet.

Instead, it resembled a mythical tale.

Moreover, it wasn't even a myth from Dragon Country.

It was a legend from the neighboring Cherry Blossom Country.

According to the legend, Cherry Blossom Country is a land blessed by a pitch-black crow, allowing its people to survive there.

The people of Cherry Blossom Country also revered this crow as a divine beast, calling it 'Tenko'.

Tenko?

Su Ping blinked, surprised to find such a creature in the legends of Cherry Blossom Country.

And this Tenko is a crow?

Su Ping, supporting his chin, blinked.

He wasn't interested in tracing the origins, but he had to admit that this seemed to be a plausible theory.

Su Ping fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a bold idea struck him.

Why should he have to choose between these two paths, these two attributes?

Su Ping's fingers flew across the virtual screen, searching with renewed vigor.

He worked on two fronts, searching on both the regular internet and the internal network of the Breeder's Association.

As the two websites progressed, the results he sought appeared: a massive, unique pattern on one, and on the other, resources and materials meeting his criteria.

'Dual-Pole Magnet', 'Light and Darkness Core', 'Light-Penetrating Dust'...

These resources and materials varied in quality, but they all shared one common trait: they embodied pure opposing elements.

Among them, light and darkness were the primary elements.

The legendary Three-Legged Golden Phoenix combined light and flame.

Solar energy is also a fusion of these elements.

If the myth from Cherry Blossom Country holds any truth, and darkness can indeed merge with flame, could he use Dragon Country's Tai Chi theory to make darkness and light coexist, centering on this fusion, and thereby nurture and ignite Little Crow's Fireseed?

This wasn't entirely a fantasy; in a sense, myths could have their merits.

Perhaps, the mutated Three-Legged Golden Phoenix was a possibility.

Who says mythical creatures can't mutate? Could he merge them?

Clearly, this was a bold, even greedy, idea.

(End of Chapter)However, the moment this idea emerged, it captivated Su Ping's heart.

Perhaps, to others, the Little Crow was merely a creature not chosen as a contracted pet, and there was no need to invest so much mental effort.

But for Su Ping, it was different.

The vast Wanling Heart, with all the pets he recognized, if there was a chance for evolution and a high probability of success, he wanted to give it a try.

It had nothing to do with anything else.

So, Su Ping went over these thoughts in his mind and thoroughly reviewed all the resources in the Beastmaster Association.

Su Ping once again reclined in his seat, deep in thought.

Then, he picked up the pen and paper beside him, just as he had done initially, and began to record his current thoughts in his notebook.

At the same time, he thought for a moment and used the pencil in his hand to draw a circular Tai Chi diagram on the blank notebook.

The more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became.

Tai Chi, Bagua, and the Five Elements—in both his previous life and this life, they had accompanied the history of human development, especially in Dragon Country.

This was the crystallization of ancient wisdom.

It was also a way to explain certain characteristics of the elements from a unique perspective.

The mutual generation and restriction of the Five Elements gave him a tremendous surprise and sparked a deep interest in Dragon Country's ancient research.

So, could the operation of Tai Chi be applied here?

Su Ping didn't leave this office.

In this office, he spent a whole day and two nights writing and drawing on his virtual screen and notebook.

If it weren't for Fatty being in the Mechanical Center, providing feedback on the situation outside, someone would have come knocking on his door long ago.

However, in Wanling Heart, such situations were indeed quite common.

For Guan Qianshan, Guan Lili, Li Shu, and the others, locking themselves in the laboratory or study room for a day or two was not unusual.

After all, no one knew when this master would have his so-called breeding inspiration.

But this situation of neglecting sleep and meals made it a little uncomfortable for Kuang Sheng, who was visiting for the first time and even interacting with Su Ping up close for the first time.

Fortunately, he quickly understood that only with this level of dedication, spirit, and exceptional talent could someone achieve such breeding results at this age.

And indeed, this was the case this time.

After several dozen hours without rest, Su Ping showed no signs of fatigue at all. Instead, he appeared full of energy as he stepped out of the Mechanical Heart.

Then, he picked up the phone again and called the Beastmaster Association headquarters.

What was he doing? Of course, he was continuing to negotiate for resources.

During this day and two nights, he hardly rested for a moment, spending most of his time searching for vast resources and conducting preliminary experiments with Little Crow and Little Flame Seed.

Finally, he confirmed the breeding plan for the fireseed.

Undoubtedly, any pet breeding required a massive amount of resource consumption.

This time was no exception.

In the current Wanling Heart, Lao Liu managed the lower-level resources, while the Imperial Capital headquarters handled the higher-level ones.

Su Ping was a bit embarrassed the first few times, but now he was used to it.

Who could blame him for being poor?

Especially after Kuang Sheng's arrival, every few days, he would recommend a new instrument from the Mechanical Association.

He wanted to provide Fatty's Titan Body with a terminal mechanical pet blueprint and manufacturing.

Each one cost over eight digits.

Where would he find the money to continue purchasing resources? Fortunately, even after hearing this harsh request, the operator on the other end of the line conveyed the message to Elder Feng. Within half an hour, they agreed.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief; indeed, it was better to lean on a big tree for shade.

Since that was the case, he would continue to wait and take a rest.

This thought had just arisen.

As Su Ping stepped out of the Mechanical Heart, he saw Guan Qianshan waiting anxiously at the entrance.

Upon seeing Su Ping, Guan Qianshan heaved a sigh of relief and hurried over: "Xiao Ping, go to the Forest Heart and take a look. It seems like something happened!"

Another incident? "What happened?"

Su Ping frowned.

"I don't know. The topmost layer of the Forest Heart, where the Ancient Life Tree is located, is completely covered by layers of different wood. No one can get in, not even me! The patrol staff just discovered it."

Hmm? This situation doesn't seem like a bad thing? Su Ping's eyebrows lifted as he listened to Guan Qianshan's report, and he quickly headed towards the Forest Heart, not far from the Mechanical Heart.

Could it be that the Ancient Life Tree is about to break through to the Sovereign Rank and reach the Imperial Rank?

With this in mind, Su Ping picked up his pace, moving even faster.
