Chapter 487: The Sword Washing Pool and Lightning Drawing Pool! Meng Yao's Confidence!

"Su Ping, aquatic-type pet beasts are actually quite good."

"Especially during summer, they can play in the water together."

"Moreover, you should know that more than half of the Blue Star is covered by oceans, which is much larger than the land area. It's definitely not a loss to focus on cultivating aquatic-type pet beasts."

"Look, my big-faced pet was so cute when it was small!"

Along the way, Meng Yao chattered non-stop.

He even pulled out a miniature version of a strange Ray Saint, as if it were a large moth with intricate patterns. Su Ping couldn't help but shiver at the sight.

Cute? This thing is not even as appealing as those snake-type pet beasts.

"I know that when you were young, you wanted to raise aquatic-type pet beasts on a large scale in the Heart of Water, but you ended up getting bitten."

"That's normal. First, many aquatic-type pet beasts inherently have low intelligence. Second, it's not easy to tame wild fierce beasts!"

"Then leave it to me. I'll set aside a separate area in the Heart of Water specifically for you to raise aquatic-type pet beasts!"

"It's perfect timing since Elder Zhu is also researching this aspect. You two can work together!"

Meng Yao quickly persuaded Su Ping.

Su Ping helplessly replied, "Elder Ray, it's not impossible to try raising some in the future, but I don't really have much time at the moment. The previous Wood Root's deep-rooted cultivation was indeed a coincidence."

He wasn't lying to Meng Yao about this.

After his body recovers, aside from other matters, the direction that Little Wu had suggested, cultivating the Fire Seed, will be the top priority.

This will be the main focus for the upcoming period.

However, Meng Yao shook his head, "I don't care. You can't favor one and neglect the other."

Seeing the childlike Ray Saint before him, Su Ping was speechless, "What do you mean by favoring one and neglecting the other? It's not something that can be done on a whim. Pet beast cultivation is not something that can be forced."

"Nonsense, I'm waiting. When you and Elder Zhu come up with a sea-accommodating cultivation method, we'll be ready to acquire this ultra-skill!"

Meng Yao finally revealed his true intention.

Then, Meng Yao patted his chest, "Besides, I'm not letting you work for nothing. Look at these projects I've prepared for the Heart of Water, and I'll handle them all!"

The two arrived at the top floor of the Dream Heart Experience Hall.

This top floor had become Meng Yao's private space.

He sat behind his small desk and threw a tablet computer to Su Ping.

Su Ping took it with suspicion and glanced at Meng Yao.

What could a childlike Holy Spirit Rank Saint bring out?

After all, Ray Saint had only recently ascended to the Holy Spirit Rank a few years ago, and it was unlikely that any high-level resources would have been born in his Beast Taming Space.

During the professional assessment battle, Ray Saint had given Su Ping the remains of a Night King's arm, which didn't seem like a valuable item, and Su Ping had even thrown it into the water pool in the Beast Taming Space.

Su Ping's gaze was unconcealed, and it pricked Meng Yao's pride, "What are you looking at?"

Su Ping blinked and took a look at the tablet.

After the screen turned black, the first thing that caught Su Ping's attention was the bird's-eye view of the Spirit Stream.

However, this bird's-eye view made Su Ping pause.

The Spirit Stream was a long river that ran through Jianghai and Huaiyang, eventually flowing into the West Dragon's inner sea and lake. But in reality, the section that passed through the Heart of All Spirits was not as complex as it appeared. It had a main channel and not many tributaries.

But on the tablet's bird's-eye view, in addition to the main channel of the Spirit Stream, there was another tributary that branched off to the south of the Forest Heart, creating a new channel.

"Elder, where did this tributary come from?"

Meng Yao patted his chest, "It's just opening a new river, no big deal. Leave it to me."

Su Ping enlarged the view, and they saw Meng Yao's design.

The Ray Saint's use of the virtual sand table was impressive. They could even see the first location where the river extended.

"Sword Washing Pool?"

Su Ping blinked and said the name of the place.

On the screen, they saw a small pool of about 1000 square meters, branching off from the river. The structure of this pool seemed completely different from the river, and Su Ping clicked to take a closer look.

It seemed that the riverbed and its surroundings were all forged with metal.

"That's right, of course. This name is just a preliminary decision, and it's the same for most of the naming. If you don't like it later, you can change it!

You should understand the purpose of the Sword Washing Pool from its name, right? It uses the essence of Geng Jin to fuse with the pool water, cleansing equipment, especially blade-type pet beasts!

Not only can this Sword Washing Pool significantly enhance the power and combat strength of these types of pet beasts, but it can also subtly improve their gold-type skills! Some pet beasts even have the Sword Washing Pool as a requirement for their evolution!

In addition to these equipment-type pet beasts, some gold-type pet beasts can also undergo tempering in this Sword Washing Pool.

Don't underestimate this thing; it's very troublesome to forge! It requires a Holy Spirit-rank material, Tai Bai Immortal Iron, a large amount of Imperial-rank Gilded Golden Water, and a lot of Tempering Sand. Most importantly, it needs a unique refining technique! The Gilded Golden Water is mixed with ordinary river water to condense into the Sword Washing Spring.

Not only that, but this Sword Washing Pool is not the kind of special resource that requires regular maintenance. On the contrary, the Sword Washing Pool can complement all equipment-type pet beasts.

The more you use the Sword Washing Pool, as long as it's not too many in a short period, the better the effect will be in the future."

Meng Yao spoke a string of words, all praising the advantages of the Sword Washing Pool, fearing that Su Ping wouldn't know how much effort he had put into it. In the end, he added, "This is Old Ironsmith's secret technique, and it's also the secret of the Refiner's Association! It's only because that old ironsmith owes me a big favor; otherwise, it would be difficult to get him to come out of retirement!"

Su Ping blinked. Indeed, after hearing this, the Sword Washing Pool did seem quite impressive.

Although he didn't have any sharp gold-type equipment pet beasts, he had always wanted to develop in this direction. After all, he had previously obtained the inheritance of the Fengdu Sword King.

Among them were the cultivation methods for two sword-type pet beasts, the Eternal White Bone Sword and the Spirit-Destroying Hell Sword.

Moreover, Su Ping guessed that if Qian Yi evolved again, these swords might be necessary.

This Sword Washing Pool indeed made his heart beat faster.

However, he scratched his head slightly:

"Senior, this thing is too precious. Not to mention anything else, just a single piece of Tai Bai Immortal Iron..."

Meng Yao waved his hand generously:

"That's nothing. Anyway, I'm a genuine Holy Spirit-rank! Every year, I receive welfare from the Cultivator's Association. A single piece of Tai Bai Immortal Iron can't measure up to the bond between us!"

It seemed like this guy wanted Su Ping to swear brotherhood with him.

Apparently, the Sword Washing Pool had given him confidence, as Meng Yao proudly pointed behind him:

"There's more, there's another one! Don't be impatient."

More?! Indeed, no Holy Spirit-rank should be underestimated; he needed to learn more.

He minimized the small map and then moved towards this small tributary, just a few kilometers away.

Sure enough, he saw another special marker in the water.

After opening it, Meng Yao had done something for him.

Compared to the previous Sword Washing Pool, this location was also named after a pool:

'Lightning Drawing Pool'

Su Ping's eyebrows rose again.

Just seeing this name made his heart stir.

The reason was simple. In fact, besides the recently completed and low-difficulty Ice Heart, he had never thought about cultivating Ice, Wind, and Lightning-type pet beasts among the Three Attributes.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it was too difficult and troublesome.

For Wind and Lightning, the latter was manageable, but the natural elemental power of Lightning was challenging to control.

One careless mistake could easily lead to life-threatening accidents.

Yet, this person before him had created such a Lightning Drawing Pool?

Su Ping quickly clicked on it, and Meng Yao on the side provided an explanation: "The Lightning Drawing Pool... I'm not very confident in this arrangement, so I placed the Lightning Drawing Pool far away from the other locations in the Heart of All Spirits. If there's any accident, it won't cause too much trouble.

The Lightning Pool is my idea. Lightning cannot be stored, and its natural power is characterized by brief bursts of immense strength.

This is the elemental nature of lightning. However, I and Big Face have tried many dense 'Yin Thunder' combat abilities and formed a method to preserve lightning for an extended period.

I call this method the Lightning Pool! Using water to store lightning is my specialty. However, this is the first time I'm trying to maintain the effect of the Lightning Pool with resources, without Big Face and my long-term control."

This time, Su Ping truly looked at Meng Yao with newfound respect.

Indeed, reaching the Holy Spirit-rank was no easy feat.

With just these few words, Sean could sense that the method of accumulating the elemental attributes of thunder into a pool required an incredible level of control over elemental energy and a deep understanding of both elements to achieve.

Before Sean could speak, Meng Yao spoke up, "So, this Lightning Pool, placed here in the Heart of All Spirits, is actually the initial display of an experiment I conducted on myself."

"If it succeeds, the benefits of preserving lightning are obvious, right?" Meng Yao didn't need to elaborate further.

Sean nodded in agreement.

If thunder could be preserved in this manner, it would first require a deep understanding of the thunder element, its analysis, and utilization, and it could even lead to the exploration of various research directions related to thunder-based abilities.

Seeing Sean's expression of genuine admiration, Meng Yao let out a soft hum, "Well? Do you believe me now? Don't worry, I'll personally take care of these two places when the time comes!"

Sean nodded and gave Meng Yao a thumbs-up.

These two things created by Meng Yao were not only effective, but most importantly, they could fill the gap in the Heart of All Spirits' pet cultivation categories.

Equipment-related and gold-based pet beast cultivation.

Derivative cultivation of thunder-based pet beasts.

Although he might not need these in the short term, they would be useful in the future.

If the results were as Meng Yao claimed, it would indeed be a great help.

"So, focus on water-based companion beasts! Of course, I don't expect you to easily replicate Zhu Lao's ability to contain all things, let alone cultivate it in other companion beasts in a short time.

But with your involvement, this day might come sooner.

If you feel indebted, how about this—have your companion beast give me a few divine-level skills on my Dream Heart account, or get me some rare hidden items that aren't available on the Dream Heart servers. It's not a big deal for you, right? After all, it's just a matter of your word. Also, besides these small favors, try to raise more water-based companion beasts and put more effort into that..."

After seeing Sean's sincere admiration, Meng Yao casually waved his hand as if it was no big deal.

Huh? Hearing Meng Yao's words, Sean suddenly froze, and he quickly interrupted, "Wait, Senior, these two locations you've chosen have nothing to do with water-based companion beast cultivation, do they? This Sword Washing Pool and Lightning Pool can't accommodate water-based companion beasts!"

Meng Yao looked at the tablet and realized it was indeed true.

Relying on the Lightning Pool and Sword Washing Pool for water-based companion beast cultivation seemed highly unlikely.

Meng Yao scratched his head, about to say something, but just then, Sean's figure disappeared without a trace.

Only a voice was left behind, "Senior, you keep thinking about it. Don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you when the time comes. Focus on fish cultivation! I'll go check on the Heart of Souls..."

Meng Yao was furious but could only shake his head and sit down again, staring at the tablet in his hand, and he fell into thought again.

Sean, having left the Dream Heart Experience Hall, also breathed a long sigh of relief.

These two pools were indeed important, but he didn't have the time to spare to cultivate fish.

After finishing his inspection of the Heart of Earth and listening to Meng Yao talk about the two pools, the morning had already passed.

Taking advantage of the time, the Dream Heart Experience Hall wasn't far from the Heart of Souls, so he decided to head there next.

Inside the Heart of Souls, besides the staff from the Heart of All Spirits, Bai Cang and the others were not present.

Sean didn't mind and greeted the staff member on duty before heading to the last subway platform below the Heart of Souls, which had a ghostly aura.

After pressing the station button, the subway slowly started moving within the Heart of Souls and soon stopped in front of the Death Wheat Field.

As soon as he stepped off the train, a chilling feeling permeated his spirit from its deepest recesses.

At the same time, there seemed to be a faint wailing sound around him.

Was the construction of the Yin Land almost complete?

However, before Sean could enter the Death Wheat Field to check on Bai Cang, Jian Yue, and the others, suddenly, perhaps sensing the changes in the spiritual field of the dead beneath his feet,

A faint call resonated in Sean's beast-taming space, causing him to pause momentarily.

The next second, a special little companion beast appeared in Sean's embrace.

It was a small white cat.

Its body was pure white, except for a pair of purple irises, and it looked around with curiosity and excitement.

It seemed to have arrived at some treasure trove.

This cat was none other than the mutant fortune cat given to him by White Elder during the Yunnan expedition.
