Chapter 481: Returning to Linzhou! Shui Long's Breakthrough!
Chapter 481: Returning to Linzhou! Shui Long's Breakthrough!
At the side of the Jiao Long Hao.
Two figures stood before Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue, along with Long Er.
Three days had passed since they left the Spring Realm.
During these three days, although both Liu Niang and Sang Sheng, as well as the legendary Sacred Dragon who left after their casual chat, had told Su Ping to focus on recuperating and not rush into other matters,
Su Ping still managed to create a 'Wooden Root' within this time.
He successfully cultivated a Deep-Rooted skill for Liu Niang's pet beast.
Although the breakthrough was in the skill's appearance rather than the expected divine transformation of the Huang Quan Rong, Liu Niang was slightly disappointed.
However, the value and significance of an advanced skill were extraordinary.
"Brat, why are you in such a hurry to return?"
Liu Niang pouted, clearly displeased with Su Ping's impatience.
Su Ping shrugged helplessly:
"There are some matters to attend to, and since we're unfamiliar with this place, it's not very interesting. After returning, I can focus on those matters."
"That's what you said! Snow, keep an eye on this brat. If he continues his all-night research on pet beast cultivation after returning, come find me!
Once it's done, you'll have the chance to visit Dianzang, and I'll take you sightseeing!"
Liu Niang, in her youthful appearance, shot a glance at Su Ping and then turned to Qin Xiaoxue, who nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him! You and the elder can continue researching those resources. Go ahead and return, as Qin Xiaoxue and I won't be staying in Dianzang for long."
"Good! Haha, I knew you were a clever girl..."
After hearing the young girl's words, Qin Xiaoxue's lips curved upwards. She glanced at Su Ping and hummed lightly before waving her hand and boarding the Jiao Long Hao.
The double wings flapped gently.
The Jiao Long Hao emitted a blue-white flame from its tail, then suddenly surged forward.
As the figures of the Toxic Saint and Sang Sheng disappeared from view, Su Ping finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned to Qin Xiaoxue, who had been giving him sidelong glances, and raised an eyebrow:
"I heard that you encountered a secret realm during your trip. Is that where you got your pet beast?"
Qin Xiaoxue nodded:
"Yes, but I didn't have the same luck as him. The secret realm I entered was not a legacy realm but an ordinary one. My pet beast is just a mutated one."
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxue wasn't willing to reveal more, Su Ping sighed and produced a flash of light:
"Here, I made this for you. I was going to give it to you once we returned to Linzhou, but I'll give it to you now so your trip wasn't in vain!"
Qin Xiaoxue was taken aback. She saw Su Ping hand her a fist-sized emerald green flower.
It resembled a four-leaf clover but was much more exquisite and beautiful.
In that instant, the entire cabin seemed to become fresher and more vibrant.
As Su Ping was about to explain, Qin Xiaoxue exclaimed:
"Jade Bodhi?!?"
It was normal for Qin Xiaoxue to recognize it, given her connection with Sang Sheng.
Su Ping nodded:
"Yes, since you know what it is, I won't elaborate. Just pluck one petal when you're ready to break through."
"No way!"
Qin Xiaoxue refused firmly:
"This is too precious..."
Su Ping tugged at his lips, too lazy to argue. He picked up the Jade Bodhi flower and used the golden scissors made from the Seal Wood Spirit Gold in the box to cut off one petal.
Sealing Wood Spirit Gold, an Imperial Rank Metal Lineage resource, is highly effective in suppressing Wood Lineage powers. Only when this item is cut, will it not lose its medicinal properties over a long period. This was something Lord Leng Niu Liang had gifted to him along with other items.
Seeing Su Ping directly toss the Jade Bodhi petal over, Qin Xiaoxue hurriedly caught it.
Only then did Su Ping say, "Precious things are meant to be used. Otherwise, they just gather dust in the warehouse. You said that yourself back then. Now it's my turn to give it to you, and you're hesitating to accept it.
This thing can preserve one's appearance, so logically, it should be even more valuable to you, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxue did not refuse, as she had to admit that Su Ping was right. Who wouldn't want to preserve their best appearance? The Master of the Five Toxins was the best example.
Such an example was impossible for any woman to resist.
Qin Xiaoxue's cheeks turned red as she nodded, finally accepting it. However, she did not consume it immediately. Instead, she carefully took out a container and placed it in her Beast Taming Space.
After doing all this, Qin Xiaoxue opened her eyes and looked at Su Ping again, only to find that Su Ping had closed his eyes and no longer seemed interested in asking about her contracted beast.
Su Ping indeed wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he took this time to use his spirit perception to examine the item Lord Leng Niu Liang had given him earlier.
It was none other than the cultivation handbook filled with lush greenery.
The special cultivation method for the unique Toxic Lineage skill that Su Ping had requested! The Ultra Skill from the Dragon Pattern Bamboo, which was on the body of the Emerald Leaf Snake King.
Xiao Qing did not have any direct combat-enhancing skills in this area, and the special cultivation method for external avatars that Water Venerable Jellyfish Fairy had mentioned earlier was something Su Ping was eager to try out.
The cultivation method for external avatars, which supposedly enhanced skill comprehension.
He wanted to see if there was any significant difference when connected and shared with the Souls Catalog.
If it only increased the speed of comprehension, its value would be limited.
But if it could help in achieving a profound breakthrough, then the ability of the external avatar would truly deserve its place as one of the top two in the hall.
There was just one difficulty.
Upon seeing the cultivation handbook, Su Ping realized the large amount of resources required. While he hadn't finished reading it, and it was uncertain whether the Souls Catalog would provide any optimized feedback, even if it did, the core Holy Spirit Rank resources would still be necessary.
Most importantly, when he finally cultivated, the required resources would need to be quadrupled!
In addition, the new task given to him by the Emerald Spring Ginseng also required a significant amount of high-grade resources.
Previously, the construction of the Heart of All Spirits required a large amount of mid- and low-grade resources.
Now, he finally needed this terrifying amount of high-grade resources.
Initially, Su Ping had thought that the benefits he gained from Master Su Tu Fen's legacy would be sufficient.
Especially those three Holy Spirit Rank resources, but now it seemed they weren't enough!
Thinking about this, Su Ping rubbed his temples in frustration. He would have to deal with these troubles when he got home.
...
At this moment, inside the Heart of All Spirits.
Three figures, rarely seen together, gathered in a special location.
They were none other than the three individuals who held the highest and most unique positions in the Heart of All Spirits.
Master Yin Luo, Master Zhu Hong, and Master Meng Yao.
Their gazes were fixed on the Water Heart.
The Water Heart was currently completely cleared out.
Although their location was not at the center of the Water Heart, where one could fish, nor at the place of the Cold Mist Locking River Pine.
Instead, they were in a strictly prohibited area, where even staff members had to report and be inspected daily to enter.
This was the true core of the Water Heart, known as the Dragon Nurturing Pool.
The Rainbow Butterfly was inside.
The reason for the temporary closure of the entire Water Heart was simple: a brilliant light of evolution was emanating from the center of the Water Heart.
A clear, water-blue light of evolution.
Though called the light of evolution, it was actually the energy burst caused by a special realm breakthrough.
However, the waves it emitted were enough to make one tremble.
Holy Spirit Rank!
"Truly unexpected, little Meng, your Water Dragon Shang Shan has broken through to the Holy Spirit Rank so quickly? I must say, the quality of this Dragon Nurturing Pool you set up is really excellent!"
Zhu Hong smiled and nodded.
Meng Yao, looking smug, said:
"Of course, besides, this was personally instructed by Lord Sea, who even provided a Sea Dragon Pearl as the array eye for the spirit ground, allowing it to continuously condense dragon aura and water element energy.
So, the Rainbow Coral Worm was indeed evolved by Su Ping, and through my perception, the evolved Luminous Butterfly truly has the potential to become a Rainbow Dragon. Otherwise, how could it be so easy!
Moreover, Shang Shan is my pet, and it is inherently a Holy Spirit-grade foundation. Unlike your Yellow Dragon, it is not just a pure Yellow Dragon. Shang Shan is not a Blue Dragon either, but a pure Water Dragon."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Hong glanced at this little brat:
"You're getting defensive! Your Thunder Wing Demon is one thing, but Shang Shan's talent is still there, and you dare to look down on Yellow Dragon?"
"Hehe, I didn't say that! But from now on, who dares to say I'm the weakest Holy Spirit in Dragon Country? I'm also a dual Holy Spirit-grade Beastmaster!"
Meng Yao's cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and he stared intently at the Dragon Pool, saying:
"This place is truly a treasure for Su Ping! Speaking of which, this little brat, he doesn't seem to care much about Water-type aquatic pets. Aside from the Rainbow Coral Worm, he doesn't pay much attention to any other pets, not even the little King Turtle! Tsk, I need to think of a way to make this little brat take it seriously.
What if he also creates a 'Root of Wood' effect for aquatic cultivation, and I can benefit from it too?"
In just a few days, the news of the Root of Wood's effect has spread widely among the upper echelons of Dragon Country.
As a resident of the Heart of the Ten Thousand Spirits, Meng Yao couldn't help but feel indignant.
Why does this little brat only focus on researching Wood-type cultivation?
Water is the strongest among the various elements! Meng Yao was very confident about this.
After all, the entire earth is the land, and the endless seas and other seas occupy a larger area.
Isn't this proof enough?
With such a good talent, he should focus on Water-type cultivation!
Meng Yao nodded:
"Shang Shan also likes this place very much. This time, I'll further modify the Heart of Water. Aside from the parts that this little brat plans to manage and sell, I'll definitely create something unique!"
Zhu Hong and Yin Luo didn't pay much attention to this.
Just then, a dragon's roar echoed.
The Heart of the Ten Thousand Spirits seemed to be boiling. The abundant dragon energy reached a peak at this moment.
At the same time, a blue figure swiftly circled the lake and then soared into the sky!
Everyone in the Heart of the Ten Thousand Spirits clearly saw the dragon flying into the sky.
At this moment, Meng Yao was also excited, turning to look at Zhu Hong beside him:
"Master Zhu, although you haven't broken through to the next realm, Yellow Dragon has already advanced to the Holy Spirit rank at the beginning of the year! How about letting Yellow Dragon and Shang Shan play together?"
Zhu Hong smiled, not saying much, but the specially summoned Yellow Dragon appeared, ready for a special evolution.
Two dragons appeared! The roars of the two dragons echoed together.
In the sky, on the ground, and even slightly into the lakes.
Fortunately, the two dragons' masters were in control, and this was just a playful spar without causing any damage to the environment.
Therefore, it was mostly a physical battle without the use of skills.
After fighting for half an hour, they finally stopped, with Yellow Dragon emerging as the slight victor.
Both dragons had a great time, and at the same time, Zhu Hong answered a call:
"Hello, Su Ping? You're reaching Linzhou? Okay!"
Hanging up the phone, Zhu Hong said:
"Alright, Su Ping is coming back. We'll continue next time."
The two dragons then parted ways, following their masters.
However, the people present and Su Ping, who was about to return home, were unaware of what was happening above them in the sky, where the two dragons had just fought.
During the dragons' battle, although it was a physical fight, blood still dripped.
These drops of bright red dragon blood, like red agate beads, fell from the sky, landing next to a special plant.
This plant was none other than the previously inconspicuous and useless Dragon Pattern Bamboo in the Heart of the Ten Thousand Spirits...
