Chapter 464: The Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits and the Root of the Wood! The God of Wealth!
Chapter 464: The Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits and the Root of the Wood! The God of Wealth!
At the Magic Capital Academy,
In the Dean's office, the woman looked at the detailed documents sent from Dianzang over the past few days, rubbed her forehead, then lifted her head and looked at her granddaughter who had been waiting for a while:
"Xiaoxue, are you not satisfied with any of the companion beasts?"
Qin Xiaoxue nodded.
Sang Sheng helplessly said:
"Then what kind of companion beast do you want? It's been more than a month, and I've heard that Su Ping's cultivation has already broken through to the Sovereign Fourth Rank!"
Qin Xiaoxue's cheeks puffed up:
"I've already reached the Second Rank of the Monarch, and I can feel that I'll be able to break through to the Third Rank very soon! Besides, he's already contracted his fourth companion beast, and once I contract one, I'll definitely catch up to him very quickly!"
Sang Sheng smiled:
"But isn't your request too high? You don't want the Ten Thousand Threads Willow with Imperial Peak potential? It's very likely that after the Monarch Rank, you'll be able to comprehend the super-tier skill 'Deeply Rooted' for a plant-type companion beast. If I have to say it, it's even more precious than your Life Ancient Tree. If it weren't for your good performance in this vocational assessment, even with my connections, it wouldn't be easy to obtain one."
Qin Xiaoxue turned her head away:
"That's exactly why I don't want it. Besides, what's the use of having a high racial potential ceiling?
Does Su Ping's companion beast have a high racial potential? Isn't it because he can defeat so many Beastmasters who are older than him? The purpose of Beastmasters is to nurture and evolve companion beasts beyond their racial potential..."
Sang Sheng shook her head, feeling more lenient towards her granddaughter.
"Since that's the case, what kind of companion beast do you want?"
Qin Xiaoxue's eyes sparkled:
"I want to be like Su Ping. I also want to find a mutant companion beast and nurture and evolve it myself..."
Sang Sheng felt a headache coming on.
Mutant companion beasts have their advantages and disadvantages.
An exceptional mutant companion beast with the right nurturing methods can exhibit nurturing value and strength far surpassing that of ordinary companion beasts.
However, if something goes wrong, it may directly result in a useless companion beast for the Beastmaster.
As for the rumors that Su Ping loves nurturing mutant companion beasts,
Can ordinary people compare to that perverted young man?
"What nonsense are you talking about? A high-tier companion beast with a super-tier skill as its racial skill is far more powerful than any mutant companion beast, isn't it?
Your three companion beasts, the Tree Crown Wolf King and the Flower Fairy, all possess super-tier skills, aren't they far superior to that mutant Life Ancient Tree? If you could, why wouldn't you nurture a super-tier skill onto that mutant Life Ancient Tree?"
Upon hearing this, Miss Qin opened her mouth but couldn't think of a suitable rebuttal.
Sang Sheng finally nodded in satisfaction:
"Alright, the Ten Thousand Threads Willow is one I carefully selected. The super-tier Wood-type skill 'Deeply Rooted' is one of the top abilities among plant-type super-tier skills. Nurture it well, and even Dragon Nation might not dare claim to be able to nurture a Beastmaster with that skill.
You're about to graduate, and after this year's successful reforms, I'll also step down as the Dean of Magic Capital Academy. Don't be so willful and reckless in the future."
Seeing her granddaughter looking dejected, Sang Sheng felt a bit reluctant, 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:
"Hello, Su Ping? What made you think of me? Is it because Old Qin has been nagging you, and you're calling to complain again?"
Even the usually stern and domineering Sang Sheng couldn't help but smile when she heard the voice of the young man on the other end.
Recently, the establishment of high-level Beastmaster Academies in various provincial capitals across the country has been in full swing.
In Jianghai Province, with Su Ping's presence as a major draw, Qin Erlong, as the president of the Beastmaster Association, has been trying to utilize this to make the Jianghai Nurturer High-level Academy famous with a single stroke.
This has been a constant source of annoyance for Su Ping.
Sang Sheng was also aware of this situation.
"Hmm? It's not about that? You want to advertise? And you want me to help you advertise?"
Even Sang Sheng was left bewildered by the phone call at this moment.
Obviously, she didn't understand what the person on the other end was up to.
Qin Xiaoxue also looked at the old lady in front of her with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding why Su Ping was calling at this time.
When Miss Qin was in Linzhou, she was rarely seen, but now that she's back in Magic Capital, this guy is taking the initiative to call.
However, seeing the granddaughter's sudden attention, Sang Sheng also turned on the speakerphone.
Su Ping's voice echoed in the office:
"Yes, I've thought it through. There's no one with a wider network and more connections to Wood-type Beastmasters than you. I only know you and Old Man Qin in this regard."
"Old Man Qin has been busy lately, as you know. So, I'm just thinking, it's just a small favor I'm asking of you!"
"What nonsense? I remember you're not the kind of person who casually asks for help!"
Sang Sheng became interested, and it was clear that Su Ping's words seemed to be related to Wood-type Beastmasters.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought him out.
"It's like this. Heart of Ten Thousand Souls recently had a new research project that has a high chance of allowing plant-type Companion Beasts, especially tree and vine-type Companion Beasts, to comprehend the super-ranked skill 'Deeply Rooted.'
I was thinking of asking you to promote me. If there are Beastmasters in need in this regard, they can come to Jianghai Linzhou to find me for paid breeding.
As for the price, it's like this. First, give me the resources on the list of my demands, and they are in Dragon Nation currency. Second, some advanced resources. If we settle the price in money, the cost of a single breeding session will not be less than two billion each! As for the resource prices, we can discuss them when the time comes."
Su Ping's voice quickly came through the phone.
But it made Sang Sheng, who had opened his mouth, freeze in place.
Even the Qin Young Miss in front of him was the same.
If it weren't impossible, Sang Sheng would have reason to suspect that this brat had hidden surveillance in their office.
They had just mentioned this skill...
Especially at this moment, Sang Sheng noticed that the granddaughter's gaze at him became strange.
Apparently, she had doubts about his praise for the 'Deeply Rooted' skill and the Ten Thousand-Threaded Willow.
This skill didn't seem that impressive.
"Su Ping, are you joking? Since it's like this, never mind the rest, first give me... and breed Xiaoxue. If there are indeed results, then at that time, I'll promote you for free, and I can also guarantee it!"
Although Sang Sheng believed that this brat wouldn't deceive him, he still couldn't quite believe it.
However, Su Ping on the other end of the phone was slightly embarrassed:
"Senior, you and Xiaoxue have been very kind to me. It's only right for me to breed you both, but recently, Heart of Ten Thousand Souls and I have our hands full.
I've already boldly asked the Beast Tamer Association headquarters for these breeding resources twice in the past few days. One set is for my own experimental use, and I only have one set of breeding resources left.
If this time... If I can't even afford resources next time, then how about this: You introduce a customer to me first. After I make a big deal... cough cough, and have more funds, I'll breed you and Xiaoxue. How does that sound?"
These slightly awkward words reminded Qin Xiaoxue of the first time she met Su Ping. The boy who used to shovel manure seemed to have the same appearance.
Unexpectedly, after a year, this guy hadn't changed at all!
Upon hearing this, Sang Sheng also smiled:
"Brat, if you can really breed out results, I'll provide you with all the Wood resources you need! I won't let you worry about those breeding fees!"
"Okay! With your words, I'll bring Xiaoxue over whenever you're ready. If there's anything new that can help you in the future, I'll gladly breed it for you for free."
"If it's truly helpful to me, not to mention doing it for free, I'd be willing to pay the full amount, or even more, for your breeding services. By the way, how long does this breeding process take? I'll be going to Yunnan-Tibet in a while. If it takes too long, let's discuss it after I return."
"Three... to five days!"
"Good, see you then."
Su Ping looked at the disconnected call and exhaled.
Fortunately, this person didn't blame him for being too stingy.
After all, Heart of Ten Thousand Souls was really struggling financially.
He also felt embarrassed to keep asking for resources from the Beast Tamer Association headquarters.
Unaware of the situation, he was shocked when he calculated the numbers.
In the month since returning from the imperial capital, he had applied for nearly twenty Imperial-level resources, and also one Sovereign-level resource.
Even for a breeding master position, this number was a bit too much.
After all, it had only been a month.
Without further ado, there's also the request from the Mechanic Association to consider.
Fortunately, his results and harvests are also quite pleasing.
Since the day of the Life Ancient Tree's promotion, a full week has passed.
Over a week, Su Ping's time has been spent on the little crow's Flame Seed ignition and the Green Demon Bichuan's transmitted image, which he has named 'Root of the Wood'. He has attempted to create this special 'Magic Potion'.
As for the little crow's situation, there's no need to rush. Su Ping is still in the initial stages of experimentation, mainly focusing on testing. The Flame Seed's skill level hasn't even been raised to Proficiency, so it's not yet considered a true start.
After all, the resources required for the little crow include that special Holy Spirit-level resource. Compared to the time it was sent, it's been a long while.
However, this 'Root of the Wood' has been successfully created by him.
This thing requires eighty Wood Element Cores and two Imperial-level resources.
Yes, only two are needed! Imperial-level Green Wild Seed and Imperial-level Heaven and Earth Tree Root.
No other resources are required.
The formula is simple, but it can be said that in this world, theoretically speaking, besides Green Demon Bichuan, only Su Ping should be able to create this.
The reason is simple. The fusion of those eighty Wood Element Cores is based on the Green Demon's peculiar body, which can tolerate things like flames, but the flames' peculiar properties don't melt it.
Although the Green Demon Bichuan's nurturing is similar to the Flame Seed, it's actually vastly different.
However, the nurturing of the Phoenix Blaze is a completely different matter.
But it's unknown whether it's purely due to the Green Demon Bichuan's perception or good luck that allowed this so-called 'Root of the Wood' magic potion to be created.
This can help plant-type Companion Beasts understand the existence of the advanced skill 'Deeply Rooted'.
Over these days, besides the previous Life Ancient Tree, Su Ping has also attempted his own nurturing once.
And he successfully nurtured that strangely shaped 'Magic Potion'.
As for the target of this creation, it's the relatively unique 'Skybound Vine' in the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
At the same time, not only did the Skybound Vine gain the skill of Deeply Rooted, but it also promoted to the Monarch Rank, becoming the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits' second plant-type Companion Beast.
The Skybound Vine, unlike the other plant-type Companion Beasts, is often the guardian of the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
The Skybound Vine's vine body almost covers the entire Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits, and anyone who tries to cross the walls will be immediately entangled and left hanging, awaiting their fate.
The Skybound Vine's contribution to the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits is evident to all.
At the same time, this is also to gather information about vine-type Companion Beasts, and the 'Root of the Wood' created by Su Ping becomes the Skybound Vine's test subject.
The final result makes Su Ping very satisfied, and he's overjoyed.
Even more so, it's unknown whether this success is due to his nurturing.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Codex's feedback even earned him 500 Universal Experience Points and 2000 Skybound Vine Codex Experience.
Although it's not much, for Su Ping who currently lacks Codex Experience, even a small amount is welcome.
The only thing worth mentioning that didn't satisfy Su Ping is that the fusion of this thing requires Xiao Qing's energy to use her Green Demon body to refine and merge the Wood Element Cores, forming something similar to a Wood-type 'Flame Seed' core.
The energy used is Xiao Qing's.
Of course, although the consumption is high, for Xiao Qing, it's also a way of training.
Coincidentally, during this time, Xiao Qing has been training on her own, and her skill level improvement speed is exceptionally fast.
However, Su Ping hasn't followed Water Lord's suggestion to directly nurture Xiao Qing's clone and body together.
When there's time, this matter will be arranged.
Su Ping didn't keep them waiting long. After two hours, the familiar 'Ascending Cloud' hovered above the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
Holy Sage and Snow Li arrived at the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits again.
Su Ping eagerly rubbed his hands together.
The Boss has finally arrived.
