Chapter 480: Bichuan's New Mission!
Chapter 480: Bichuan's New Mission!
Compared to Sheng Long Legend, Poison Sage immediately noticed Su Ping, whose face was dark and gloomy, and the anxious Little Qing by his side.
The Poison-type Holy Spirit-ranked Beastmaster suddenly reached out, and a beam of summoning light shone forth.
A massive purple mushroom appeared beside the two of them, and as soon as it appeared, countless tiny root-like tentacles connected to Su Ping's limbs and the top of his head.
Purple blood was drawn out from Su Ping's pores.
Su Ping's complexion visibly improved at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Liu Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows furrowed:
"What a ferocious poison! If it weren't for this pet beast helping to protect his heart pulse, he might have been directly poisoned by this virulent poison! Fortunately, this toxin is a self-moving poison, and without pet beast control, otherwise, this kind of poison would have taken this brat's life!"
I've said it, let him be extra careful, but he still got poisoned! Even after recovering, his body will be weak for a while, and at the very least, he'll need a month to recuperate!"
As she spoke, there was a hint of pain and lingering fear in Liu Niang's eyes.
The man also looked at Su Ping, then slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at the small cauldron beside him.
The Poison Sage was also surprised and spoke:
"Is this the poison from the cauldron?"
Sheng Long Legend didn't waste words. He closed his eyes for three seconds before speaking:
"A rare Holy Spirit-ranked resource, 'Quintessence of Five Toxins,' combined with the Holy Spirit-ranked resource 'River Heaven Exorcist Flowing Silver Sand,' and the essence blood of twelve Poison-type Holy Spirit-ranked peak ferocious beasts, manufactured into a poison!"
"I never thought that the Five Toxins Cauldron of the Five Toxins Sage, Situ Feng, actually exists? The poison Su Ping was afflicted with should be the poison from this cauldron..."
Su Ping opened his eyes groggily and heard the man's words, then weakly said:
"This Situ Feng..."
"Brat, don't talk. The residual poison hasn't been cleared yet. Rest first!"
The Poison Sage hurriedly spoke, then finished Su Ping's unfinished sentence:
"What was Situ Feng thinking? He even poisoned the person he was passing on his legacy to?"
The man waved his hand, dismissing the previously conjured scene, then pursed his lips and, after some thought, said:
"The Five Toxins Cauldron is a Poison-type supreme treasure. If he had truly left a backup plan, this brat's life would have ended long ago.
It's purely because the Five Toxins Cauldron is mostly made of Poison-type materials, and after being stored for many years, the cauldron's internal space has developed some toxicity. It's likely that you didn't handle it properly when you opened it, so remember this for next time: when opening ancient spatial storage vessels, be cautious and don't be so careless!"
Su Ping opened his mouth in bewilderment. Was that the case? Alright, after hearing those words, Su Ping felt that waking up was a mistake.
Looking at Su Ping's expression, the girl couldn't help but chuckle:
"Alright, quickly put all your pets back into the beast taming space, and take a good rest first. Once you're recovered, we can talk about what really happened."
Su Ping nodded, reached out his hand, and recalled the pets, including Little Qing, who had just entered his beast taming space, back into the beast taming space, then fell into a deep slumber once again.
The man remained silent throughout.
Instead, he slightly furrowed his brows, and in that instant, as Little Qing entered Su Ping's beast taming space, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
However, after that fleeting glance, his brows furrowed again, filled with confusion and suspicion.
But in the end, seeing Su Ping's condition, he didn't say anything more.
...
Su Ping's weakness wasn't feigned.
However, if he needed time to recover, it wasn't entirely necessary.
For ordinary people, being drained of poison by that giant mushroom would indeed leave them extremely weak.
Nevertheless, beastmasters' physiques, though not as robust as their pets, were still enhanced.
It's just that, at this moment, he genuinely needed to carefully sort through the situation.
Especially the circumstances following the legacy, which he hadn't fully processed.
He had originally thought that Poison Sage Situ Feng's poison was meant to lead him to the World Tree's body, thereby gaining its recognition.
But now, it seemed that it was purely a matter of coincidence.
It was his own foolishness.
This Poison-type beastmaster's treasure wasn't something to be taken lightly.
Although he had already let Little Qing test the poison, Little Qing herself was immune to poison due to her Poison-type affinity, and being an external incarnation meant there was no harm even if she died.
At the same time, Little Qing couldn't perceive the contents through her spiritual force.
All he could say was that he had underestimated the capabilities of that Five Toxins Cauldron.
But these were all minor matters.
What Su Ping needed to focus on now was the dream-like experience he had later.
Su Ping couldn't help but look at his palm, as he had been holding something since a moment ago.
As expected, when he looked down, the familiar verdant leaf of the World Tree was in his hand.
However, Su Ping blinked and then entered the Beast Taming Space with his consciousness. The next second, as expected, another leaf of the World Tree appeared.
He knew where this leaf of the World Tree came from.
Biyu Chun Shen waved her hand over Su Ping's body. In that bird's-eye view, the original leaf of the World Tree entered his palm! However, as the leaf imprinted on his soul, this leaf also entered the Beast Taming Space. How did another leaf appear?
Just as Su Ping was puzzled, the leaf in his palm suddenly vanished without a trace, turning into a verdant green flame right before his eyes.
"This..."
Su Ping was a bit startled, but soon, he realized what had happened.
His consciousness sensed the departure of Biyu Chun Shen from Xiao Qing's body.
This was probably a fake leaf created by Biyu Chun Shen.
It was unlikely to be the Poison Sage, so it must be the Holy Dragon Legend who discovered its existence.
Therefore, was it necessary to use this leaf to attract the Holy Dragon Legend? Su Ping felt his guess was probably correct.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Knowing was enough.
He was genuinely terrified now.
Facing this mysterious 'Biyu Chun Shen,' if the Holy Dragon Legend could discover its existence through observation, then so be it.
This time, entering this so-called Spring Realm and encountering the World Tree, which existed in legends, completely shattered Su Ping's narrow-minded perception of 'Biyu Chun Shen.'
Although he gained some benefits, from what he witnessed, it seemed that Biyu Chun Shen's progress regarding the World Tree wasn't going well.
If the Holy Dragon Legend became unhappy and took out its frustration on him, what then? But...
It was undeniable that following this mysterious figure had indeed brought him numerous advantages.
Su Ping looked at his palm, where the trace of the leaf remained.
In his soul, besides the ashen flame mark of the Sky Tomb and the shimmering Dragon Gate mark, there was yet another leaf mark.
Of course, there was also the faint mark of the Origami Figure, which appeared after reaching level 5 in the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger. However, the first three marks were obtained from the outside world, while the Origami Figure mark was acquired from the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger, so they couldn't be compared.
Similarly, the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger also responded to this leaf:
[Advanced Primal Power (Absorbing)]
[A faint mark containing powerful primal power, consisting of Wood, Life, and Poison primal powers.
Even if it's extremely weak, it still has an indelible effect on feeble creatures. Can be actively absorbed or released! After active use, it can choose to actively enhance a plant-type beast companion's ledger level that is not higher than level 4 in the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger, or it can further enhance a ledger level above level 5!]
Indeed, it was the same as the previous Sky Tomb mark.
However, even without absorbing it, this leaf-shaped mark currently has no effect on Su Ping.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Niang.
Moreover, Su Ping could sense that within the mark, there was a continuous absorption of faint life essence, restoring his body that had become extremely weak due to the previous potent poison from the Five Toxins Cauldron.
Among the three marks, the World Tree's leaf mark was slightly larger than the Sky Tomb and Dragon Gate marks, but it was also extremely thin and transparent.
The other two marks were relatively more solid.
Su Ping didn't fully understand the meaning behind this, but he had a vague idea.
Speaking of which, Su Ping discovered some peculiarities in the deepest part of his soul.
The Origami Figure's mark, which was originally the most illusory, seemed to have become slightly more real. It was the mark granted by the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger when the Origami Figure's ledger level reached level 5. Su Ping felt that it had indeed become a bit more real, even though the change was almost imperceptible.
However, Su Ping didn't dwell on it further. He attributed this to his rapid progress in cultivation or perhaps due to increased interaction with the cultivated Origami Figure beast companion.
Su Ping slowly withdrew his consciousness from his soul and the Beast Taming Space, returning to reality. He looked at the leaf in his hand once again, which felt more like jade than a leaf.
As he held the leaf, Su Ping's true form re-entered the Beast Taming Space, approaching the Spring Demon Bichuan. With utmost caution, he spoke, "Thank you for saving my life, senior. I dare not accept such a precious item!"
The figure turned around, its flame-like body transforming into a humanoid shape. It waved its palm, clearly not accepting Su Ping's offer to return the item.
The World Tree leaf was handed back, returning to Su Ping's palm.
Holding the item, Su Ping felt a burning sensation. Known as the closest to Mythic Rank resource, or perhaps a Mythic Rank resource itself, this leaf was extraordinary.
Reaching Mythic Rank and still being considered a resource? This single leaf was extraordinary.
Before, this item had housed Su Ping and all his Companion Beasts comfortably.
Its value was evident, even without deep thought.
At the moment, Su Ping wasn't sure if the World Tree had been secured. However, based on the feedback from the Soul Contract with Xiao Qing and the other Companion Beasts, it seemed like the World Tree was still unclaimed.
In this situation, holding onto the item didn't seem appropriate.
The Spring Demon Bichuan seemed to understand Su Ping's thoughts. Its emerald-green figure slightly turned, half-real and half-illusory, its flame-like roots touching Su Ping's palm.
Su Ping's vision changed, and several images appeared.
The previous World Tree had disappeared.
However, the Elixir of Immortality remained prominent.
Apart from the Elixir, Su Ping noticed various other resources.
The quantity had increased significantly.
This wasn't unusual, but a few of the resources were familiar to Su Ping.
Despite their high rank, Holy Spirit Rank and Imperial Rank, these resources seemed inadequate for the figure.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed, but he quickly recovered and assured, "Rest assured, I'll collect them as soon as possible!"
The figure nodded, and several images appeared before Su Ping with red highlights.
"You want these expedited?" the figure inquired, nodding again. It then transformed back into the indiscernible emerald flame, seemingly uninterested in further conversation with Su Ping.
Su Ping obtained the usage license for the World Tree leaf, but he didn't feel excited. Leaving the Beast Taming Space, he held the leaf, deep in thought.
From the outside, the leaf appeared visually appealing, but its purpose was unclear.
What was its use? Without needing to consult any records, Su Ping knew no one had ever used it before.
Otherwise, Liu Niang would have informed him before entering.
What was the purpose of this strange item?
Should he try tasting it? Su Ping quickly dismissed the absurd thought.
The leaf felt solid, unlike a typical leaf, and he doubted his teeth could even make a dent.
"Su Ping, how did you obtain this?" a male voice asked, and the man's figure appeared.
Su Ping was taken aback but didn't hide anything. "This... you can consider it part of Situ Feng's inheritance!"
"Consider it...?"
The man pondered the phrase, a rare moment of confusion crossing his face. He then looked at Su Ping with curiosity, "Interesting. Well, remember this, if there's any potential danger, inform me immediately!"
Su Ping scratched his head, then nodded earnestly. He genuinely didn't want to deceive the man, but if the Spring Demon Bichuan was just a Spring Demon, he wouldn't hesitate to speak up. However, given the current situation, he felt a bit apprehensive.
What if the man found out he had kept this information? Both individuals were intelligent, and the man seemed to understand Su Ping's hesitation, having sensed something himself.
Changing the subject, Su Ping quickly spoke up, "Holy Dragon, do you know the purpose of this item?"
The man shook his head with a smile, then teased, "I truly don't know, but you can use it as a decorative piece! At least it's a guaranteed Legendary Rank..."
"Decorative...?" Su Ping's face darkened. He now understood that apart from the meditation technique's influence, the man's words were not to be taken at face value.
