Chapter 464: The Heart of All Spirits and the Root of Wood! God of Wealth!
At the principal's office in the Magic Capital Academy, the elderly woman was reviewing the detailed reports from the Yunnan region over the past few days. She rubbed her temples and then looked up at her granddaughter, who had been waiting for a while.
"Xiaoxue, are you not satisfied with those mechanical beasts?"
Qin Xiaoxue nodded.
Sang Sheng sighed and said, "Then, what kind of mechanical beast do you want? It's been over a month, and I've heard that Su Ping's cultivation has already reached the fourth level of the Sovereign stage!"
Qin Xiaoxue's cheeks puffed up, "I've also reached the second level of the Sovereign stage, and I can feel that I'll be able to break through to the third level very soon! Besides, he's already contracted his fourth mechanical beast. After I contract one, I'll quickly catch up to him!"
Sang Sheng smiled, "But isn't your request too high? You don't want the Ten-Thousand-Silken Willow, which has the potential of a peak Imperial-level race? After reaching the Sovereign stage, there's a high chance of comprehending the super-tier skill 'Deeply Rooted' for plant-type mechanical beasts. If I have to say, it's even more precious than your Life Ancient Tree. If it weren't for your excellent performance in the professional assessment and my relationship, it wouldn't be easy to obtain."
Qin Xiaoxue turned her head away, "That's why I don't want it. Besides, what's the use of having a high racial potential ceiling? Does Su Ping's mechanical beast have a high racial potential? Isn't it still able to surpass many beastmasters who are older than him? The role of a beastmaster is to nurture and evolve mechanical beasts beyond their racial potential..."
Sang Sheng shook her head, feeling more lenient towards her granddaughter.
"Since that's the case, what kind of mechanical beast do you want?"
Qin Xiaoxue's eyes sparkled, "I want to be like Su Ping. I also want to find a mutated mechanical beast and nurture and evolve it myself..."
Sang Sheng felt a headache coming on.
Mutated mechanical beasts had their advantages and disadvantages.
An exceptional mutated mechanical beast with the correct nurturing method could exhibit a breeding value and strength far surpassing that of ordinary mechanical beasts.
However, if something went wrong, it might directly result in a useless mechanical beast for the beastmaster.
As for the rumors that Su Ping liked to nurture mutated mechanical beasts, could an ordinary person compare to that perverted young man?
"What nonsense are you talking about? A high-level mechanical beast with a super-tier skill as its racial skill is far more powerful than any mutated mechanical beast. Your three mechanical beasts, the Crowned Wolf King, and the Fairy Princess all have super-tier skills. Aren't they far superior to that mutated Life Ancient Tree? Don't you realize this? If you could, why don't you nurture that mutated Life Ancient Tree to have a super-tier skill?"
Upon hearing this, Miss Qin opened her mouth but couldn't think of a suitable rebuttal.
Only then did Sang Sheng nod in satisfaction, "Alright, the Ten-Thousand-Silken Willow was carefully selected by me. It possesses the super-tier wood-type skill 'Deep-Rooted,' which is one of the top plant-type super-tier skills. With proper cultivation, even the Dragon Country wouldn't dare claim to have a 100% success rate in nurturing this skill.
You're about to graduate, and after this year's successful reforms, I'll also step down from my position as the principal of the Magic Capital Academy. Don't be so willful and reckless in the future."
Sang Sheng felt a twinge of reluctance as she saw her granddaughter looking dejected, but what she said was the truth.
Just then, a private phone call came in.
Sang Sheng's eyebrows rose, and she didn't avoid her granddaughter, who was in front of her.
"Hello? Su Ping, what made you think of me? Is it that Old Qin has been nagging you, and now you're coming to me to complain again?"
Even the usually strict and domineering Sang Sheng couldn't help but smile when she received the call from the young man on the other end.
During this time, the establishment of advanced beastmaster academies in various provincial capitals across the country was in full swing.
In Jianghai Province, with Su Ping's reputation, Qin Erlong, as the president of the Beastmaster Association, had been trying to utilize this to make a name for the Jianghai Nurturer's Advanced Academy.
This had been causing endless trouble for Su Ping.
Sang Sheng was also aware of this situation.
"Are you calling to advertise? Do you want me to help you advertise?"
Even the great Sang Sheng was left bewildered by the phone call at this moment.
Qin Xiaoxue also looked at the old lady in front of her with suspicion, seemingly not understanding why Su Ping was calling at this time.
When Miss Qin was in Linzhou, she would often disappear for days at a time, but now that she had returned to the Magic Capital, this guy had taken the initiative to call.
However, seeing his granddaughter's sudden focus, Sang Sheng also put the phone on speaker.
Su Ping’s voice then echoed throughout the office:
"Indeed, after much thought, I couldn’t think of anyone with a wider network of connections or who knows more Wood Element Beastmasters than you. As for me, I only know you and Elder Qin in this regard.
Elder Qin has been very busy lately, as you know, so I thought, why not ask you for a small favor!"
"What kind of advertisement? I remember you aren’t the type to casually ask for help!"
Sang Sheng’s interest was piqued. Clearly, the implications in Su Ping’s words seemed to be related to Wood Element Beastmasters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to her.
"It’s like this, the Heart of All Souls has recently made a new breakthrough in research. There’s a significant chance that it could help plant-type pet beasts, especially tree and vine types, to learn the super-tier skill ‘Rooted and Firm.’
I thought I could ask you to advertise for me! If any Beastmasters need this, they can come to Jianghai Forest City for a fee to have their pets bred.
As for the price, here’s the deal: first, I need the resources listed on my required list, then Dragon Country currency, and finally, some high-grade resources. If paying in money, the cost for a single breeding session won’t be less than two billion! As for the resource prices, we can discuss that in person."
Su Ping’s voice came quickly over the phone.
This left Sang Sheng, who had opened her mouth to speak, completely stunned.
Even the young Miss Qin in front of her was similarly shocked.
If it were not impossible, Sang Sheng would have suspected that this brat had hidden a surveillance device in their office.
They had just mentioned this skill...
Especially at this moment, Sang Sheng noticed that her granddaughter’s gaze had become peculiar.
Clearly, she was now skeptical about her earlier praise for ‘Rooted and Firm’ and the Heavenly Willow.
This skill doesn’t seem that impressive, does it?
"Su Ping, are you joking? If that’s the case, then let’s skip the rest. First, do it for me and Xiaoxue. If it indeed works, not only will I advertise for you for free, but I can also guarantee your credibility!"
Although Sang Sheng believed that this brat wouldn’t lie, she still found it hard to believe.
However, Su Ping on the other end of the phone sounded slightly embarrassed:
"Senior, you and Xiaoxue have been very kind to me, so it’s only right that I breed for both of you. However, recently, the Heart of All Souls and I are not exactly flush with resources.
Just a few days ago, I had to swallow my pride and ask the Breeder Association for two sets of breeding resources. One set I used for experimentation, and now I only have one set left.
If this time... and the next, I can’t even afford the resources, then here’s what I suggest: first, introduce me to a client. After I make a good deal, when I’m more financially stable, I’ll breed for you and Xiaoxue. What do you think?"
This slightly awkward statement reminded Qin Xiaoxue of the first time she met Su Ping, the young breeder who was then shoveling manure, who seemed to have a similar demeanor.
She didn’t expect that after a year, this guy hadn’t changed much at all!
Sang Sheng laughed at this:
"Brat, if you can really achieve results, I’ll provide all the Wood Element resources you need! I won’t quibble over the breeding fees!"
"Great! With your word, that’s settled. When do you plan to bring Xiaoxue over? I’m ready whenever you are! If there are any new suitable breedings in the future, I’ll do them for you for free."
"If it really helps me, don’t say free, even if you charge me the full price, or even more, I’d be more than happy. By the way, how long does this breeding take? I have a trip to Yunnan and Tibet coming up, so if it’s too long, we can wait until I return."
"Three... to five days!"
"Alright, see you then."
Su Ping exhaled as he hung up the phone.
Fortunately, she didn’t blame him for being too stingy.
After all, the Heart of All Souls was really struggling financially.
He also felt embarrassed about continuing to ask the Breeder Association headquarters for resources.
He hadn’t realized until he calculated it, but in the month since returning from the Capital, he had requested nearly twenty Imperial Rank resources, and one Holy Spirit Rank resource.
Even for a Master Breeder, this was quite a lot, especially considering it was only a month.
Needless to say, there was also the matter of the Mechanical Association's request.
Fortunately, his results and gains were quite satisfying.
Since the day the Ancient Life Tree was promoted, more than a week had passed.
Over the past week, Su Ping had dedicated all his time to igniting Little Crow's Fireseed and the image transmitted by the Greenfield Seed, experimenting with the creation of a special 'magic potion' he named 'Wood Root'.
As for Little Crow, there was no need to rush. Su Ping was still in the initial stages of experimentation, mainly focused on testing. The skill level of the Fireseed hadn't even reached the Proficient level, so it wasn't considered a true start yet.
After all, among the resources Little Crow needed, there was that special Holy Spirit-level resource. Compared to the time when the resources were sent together, it had been much later.
However, he had already figured out this 'Wood Root'.
This thing required eighty Wood Element Cores and two Imperial-level resources.
Indeed, only two were needed! The Greenfield Seed of the Imperial level and the Heaven-Earth Root of the Imperial level.
Nothing else was required.
The formula was simple, but it could be said that, in theory, aside from the Greenfield Seed, only Su Ping could create it.
The reason was simple: the fusion of eighty Wood Element Cores relied on the peculiar body of the Green Demon Body, which, like flames, possessed the peculiar characteristic of melting without being flames.
Although the Greenfield Seed seemed to be cultivated similarly to the Fireseed.
In reality, it was completely different.
In the case of the Nanming Lihuo, the cultivation of the Fireseed was a completely different matter.
However, it was unknown whether it was due to the powerful perception of the Greenfield Seed or pure luck that allowed this accidental creation of the so-called 'Wood Root' magic potion.
This potion could be given to plant-type beasts to help them acquire the super-tier skill 'Deep Roots'.
Over these days, Su Ping had also attempted to cultivate himself once.
And he successfully cultivated that oddly-shaped 'magic potion'.
The recipient of this potion was the relatively unique 'Heaven-Piercing Creeper' in the Heart of All Spirits.
At the same time, not only did the Heaven-Piercing Creeper obtain the Deep Roots skill, but it also promoted to the Sovereign level, becoming the Heart of All Spirits' third plant-type beast.
Compared to the other plant-type beasts, the Heaven-Piercing Creeper was like a wall surrounding the Heart of All Spirits.
It could be said that, together with the Gun Pine King, they were the hidden guardians of the Heart of All Spirits.
The Gun Pine King stood tall and had a strong perception ability.
The vines of the Heaven-Piercing Creeper almost spread to the entire edge of the Heart of All Spirits, ensuring that anyone who tried to sneak in would be immediately bound and punished.
The contributions of the Heaven-Piercing Creeper to the Heart of All Spirits were evident to all.
At the same time, to collect information on the usage of plant-type beasts, Su Ping's cultivated 'Wood Root' was used on the Heaven-Piercing Creeper as a test subject.
The final result left Su Ping satisfied, and everyone was delighted.
Perhaps it was because this was the first time he had cultivated it himself.
The feedback from the Book of Ten Thousand Beings even granted him 500 points of general experience and 2000 points of Heaven-Piercing Creeper experience.
Although it wasn't much, for Su Ping, who was currently lacking in experience, every little bit helped.
The only thing worth mentioning, and also the reason for Su Ping's dissatisfaction, was that the smelting of this potion greatly exhausted Xiao Qing! Xiao Qing needed to refine the Wood Element Cores using her own Green Demon Body, forming a core-like object similar to the Wood-type 'Fireseed'.
It used Xiao Qing's energy.
Of course, although it was energy-consuming, it was also a way for Xiao Qing to train.
As it happened, this little guy had been training himself during his free time.
However, it seemed that because of this, as well as the training of Xiao Qing's clone and original body, the speed of Xiao Qing's progress during this period was particularly rapid.
But Su Ping hadn't directly cultivated Xiao Qing's clone and original body as suggested by Water Venerable.
When there's time, he'll have to arrange it.
Without keeping Su Ping waiting for too long,
Two hours later, the 'Soaring Cloud' that Su Ping was very familiar with was already floating above the Heart of All Spirits.
Sang Sheng and Lilian Snow arrived at the Heart of All Spirits once again.
Su Ping eagerly rubbed his hands together.
The God of Wealth had finally arrived.
