Chapter 488: The Land of Sighs! Awakening the Extreme Yin Earthbound Spirit!
Chapter 488: The Land of Sighs! Awakening the Extreme Yin Earthbound Spirit!
"Meow!"
The cat's meow sounded like a whistle being blown.
At this moment, even the wailing sounds by his ears seemed to weaken significantly.
Su Ping was surprised and looked at Xiao Bai, who had just leaped out of his embrace.
No wonder that White Elder valued this little one so much.
He even specially entrusted it to Su Ping.
"Xiao Bai..."
Before Su Ping could finish, Xiao Bai's figure suddenly pounced forward, heading straight towards the deathly wheat field in front. The next moment, a purple energy burst forth from its small body, no bigger than an average house cat.
Its purple eyes seemed to possess an indescribable charm.
In the deathly wheat field, scarecrows slowly emerged, like puppets under someone's control, and approached Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai leaped onto the top of a scarecrow, which was over two meters tall. It extended its sharp claws, picked through the straws, and then meowed again:
"Meow!"
Its joy was evident.
Su Ping also smiled and approached the scarecrow, watching the little guy jumping around on its body. He then rubbed Xiao Bai's little head:
"Xiao Bai, do you like it here? If so, how about staying here from now on?"
"Meow!"
Without even using mental communication, Su Ping knew the little guy's delight and smiled slightly.
However, the next moment, something unexpected happened. Just this simple action caused the Wan Ling Tu Lu (Divine Spirit Atlas) in Su Ping's mind to suddenly unfold.
A strange catalog appeared at the forefront, slowly opening amidst his bewilderment.
It manifested in the depths of his soul.
【Catalog 'Fortune Cat' Unlocked, Current Catalog Level: 1, Obtain Source Reward: Physical Enhancement】
【Physical Enhancement (Beast Tamer Talent): The Beast Tamer's physique receives a comprehensive boost.】
Su Ping blinked, not because he was surprised by this talent. In fact, compared to the numerous messy Beast Tamer talents he had obtained before, this so-called Physical Enhancement was not particularly rare. One could even say,
Except for the Beast Tamer's talent for the Three Great Families, this Physical Enhancement was the most common.
Could this little guy's intimacy level be satisfied with just a 'cat food' and the promise of a cat bed filled with 'toys'?
Cats are too easy to deceive!
Indeed, White Elder's words made sense; dogs are for work, but cats are for life! Later, Su Ping would catch some delicious fish for Xiao Bai.
Meng Yao was really something; he went through so much effort to raise a water-type pet. Cats should be the ones eating those fish!
Su Ping subconsciously glanced at the Fortune Cat's catalog:
【Catalog: Fortune Cat】
【Ordinary gold-based feline companion beasts, not particularly powerful in combat, but extremely sensitive to gold and silver objects. They are cute in appearance and possess remarkable evolutionary potential, mastering racial skills such as Fortune Cat and Golden Battle Arts.】
【Current Catalog Level: 1 (270/500)】
Known Evolutionary Chart, Special Cultivation:
【Not yet discovered】
Likes and Habits:
【Likes fish, gold-related items, unique jade treasures, collecting and hiding found treasures, interacting with humans, playing hide-and-seek, dislikes stinky things or companion beasts.】
Log Record:
【Discovered and encountered a mutated Necromantic Fortune Cat with Necromantic bloodline, met intimacy requirements, Catalog Level Experience +270!】
【This Fortune Cat is a special mutant, and for each day spent with it, Catalog Experience +5! After reaching Catalog Level 3, the cause of mutation can be attempted to be analyzed.】
Sean picked up Little White, who was happily munching on cat treats, but before he could pet it properly, a delightful voice called out from not too far away:
"Ah, what a cute cat!"
Pitter-patter, quick footsteps approached, and Jane Yue rushed over to Little White, not bothering with her nearly tangled hair.
Startled, Little White abandoned its treats and quickly hid behind Sean, warily eyeing this 'large humanoid beast'.
Sean glanced at Jane Yue, who was followed by a confused-looking Bai Cang. Bai Cang looked exhausted, but upon seeing Sean, he quickly greeted him:
"You're here."
Sean waved his hand:
"Companion beast research is one thing, but you also need to pay attention to rest."
Bai Cang scratched his head and didn't say anything. Sean had only mentioned it in passing, but to be honest, he was well aware of his own state of being engrossed in critical progress, and he had no right to criticize others.
He then turned to Jane Yue, who was still staring at Little White:
"Alright, Little White will stay at the Heart of Spirits from now on. You'll have plenty of time to interact with it later. Little White is easy to coax, but don't scare it."
"Really, wuwu, Sean, I love you!"
At this moment, Jane Yue's usual reserve as a senior breeder at such a young age was nowhere to be found. After spending a month at the Heart of Spirits, Sean had long seen through her.
He pushed Jane Yue aside and then asked:
"Is the Shadowland almost ready?"
Speaking of business, Jane Yue and Bai Cang snapped back to attention, replying solemnly:
"The resources at the Heart of Spirits are sufficient, and Li Shu had a chat with Senior Breeder Shangguan not long ago.
The area of the Shadowland we need to set up is indeed a bit too large.
That's why it's been delayed until now, but these past few days, all the preparation conditions for the Land of Sighs are ready, and the resources that need to be allocated have been arranged.
We're just missing your final piece of the puzzle."
This was the cultivation method for the Spirit Land that Sean had obtained from the Imperial City's Ghost Dragon Breeding Base.
That breeder, Cheng Dongcheng, was indeed very considerate. Not long ago, he even called Sean to ask about the progress of the setup.
If there was anything needed, Sean could contact him at any time.
The Ghost Dragon Breeding Base, as one of the largest Necromantic breeding bases in Dragon Country, could indeed provide guidance to Sean's Heart of Spirits.
This Shadowland's Spirit Land, in addition to gathering a large amount of negative Necromantic energy, could also create illusions of sighs, wails, and howls within the Spirit Land.
Furthermore, it could independently adjust resource allocation for various regions.
It could even create certain illusions to target incoming creatures.
Not a complete cultivation-type Spirit Land, it was more similar to a phantom array type.
However, this was exactly what Sean needed.
The main reason was the 'array eye' at the center of the Spirit Land, which was different from other Spirit Lands.
Sean's thoughts stirred, and a phantom shadow appeared before him.
It seemed like a simple wandering spirit.
Such a being would likely collapse from a single mental shock.
But this thing was a mutated Imperial-rank Necromantic companion beast cub.
Ordinary people would probably not believe it.
Extreme Shadowland Spirit Binding.
Only by binding a Spirit Land as the central array eye of the Shadowland could a Necromantic companion beast truly awaken and grow.
This was Sean's favorite 'farming-type' companion beast.
After binding, the corresponding Spirit Land could be transformed into a personal Spirit Land, accelerating the gathering of Necromantic energy, enhancing the growth of Necromantic companion beasts, and even within this Spirit Land, their combat power would surge.
Previously, the Shadowland was under the management of Bai Cang and his team. Now, after nearly a month, it's time to complete the task.
With the help of Li Shu and Shangguan Ye, the senior plant cultivator from Jianghai, it's finally done.
Su Ping nodded and asked, "By the way, I haven't seen Li Shu since I returned. Where has he been these days? And what about Cultivator Shangguan? I brought back some plant-type companion beasts that have long been extinct in history. He should be interested, right?"
Since Li Shu was assigned by Su Ping to the Wood Heart to research plant cultivation, he has been working with Shangguan Ye, the only senior plant cultivator in Jianghai. They were previously at the Heart of All Spirits, but Su Ping hasn't seen them in the past few days.
Hearing this, Bai Cang in front of him was taken aback, "Didn't Li Shu tell you? His Cypress Pine is about to evolve, and Cultivator Shangguan is helping him. These days, they should be at the Cultivator Association, where there's a special spirit land prepared by Cultivator Shangguan for the evolution of Cypress Pine-type companion beasts."
Oh? So that's the case.
Su Ping nodded, "He didn't tell me about this. Never mind, it's not urgent. We can discuss it later. Let's go to the center of the Sighing Land's Shadowland array. I'll awaken the Extreme Shadowland Binding Spirit first."
The Extreme Shadowland Binding Spirit, without merging with the Shadowland, is like a chick still in its egg, lacking self-awareness.
The Sighing Land sounds impressive, but in reality, it requires a large area and consumes a considerable amount of resources, but the resources are not particularly high-end.
The center of the array is located within the Ghost Heart, where the Ghost Castle is situated.
There are various design options for the Ghost Heart.
Bloody Platform, Death Wheat Field, Funeral Hall, Tomb-Sun School, Mirror World, Pyramid, Ghost Castle, Third Psychiatric Hospital, and Hell Entrance.
These specialized locations make the Ghost Heart smaller than the Earth Heart, but it's still one of the largest areas within the Heart of All Spirits.
The Ghost Castle is considered one of the central points, occupying a relatively small area.
In the future, it will house Ghost-type companion beasts, as the name suggests, including vampires and ghostly spirits.
It's considered a high-tier location.
Additionally, this place will serve as Su Ping's important research facility within the Ghost Heart.
For these reasons, the center of the Sighing Land is set within the unfinished Ghost Castle.
Continuing on the last train from the Bloody Platform, they arrived at the Ghost Castle, which encompasses the entire train station, in just a few minutes.
After the previous incident where Li Shu was tormented in the Mirror World, Bai Cang wisely left a 'Manager's Passage,' a straightforward secret passage that leads to any location, which is also Su Ping's cultivation site.
In the empty hall, a peculiar jar is placed.
"Cultivator Su, this is the Soul Jar. According to the layout of the Sighing Land, there should be a Monarch-level Wailing Banshee here. However, the Extreme Shadowland Binding Spirit is obviously much stronger than the Wailing Banshee. It won't be controlled or suppressed by the Soul Jar or the Shadowland, and it will retain its freedom. It's the best choice."
Su Ping nodded, as he was the one who brought back the Sighing Land, he naturally knew the arrangement method.
Under Su Ping's guidance, the Extreme Shadowland Binding Spirit slowly entered the Soul Jar in front of him.
The next moment, a cold light flashed from within the Monarch-level peak Ghost-type resource.
Su Ping waved his hand, signaling Bai Cang and Jian Yue to step back.
Ten seconds later, a faint human figure slowly materialized. A ghostly girl in a blood-red school uniform, as if soaked in blood, appeared before Su Ping. Her empty eyes gradually gained focus, and she turned to look at Su Ping, then spoke in a cold, human voice:
"Master..."
Su Ping nodded, "Very good. Since you can call me that, you are a member of the Heart of All Spirits. From now on, you will be called Red Clothes. You can move freely throughout the Sighing Land and the Ghost Heart, as long as you don't go overboard."
"Red Clothes... is..."
The girl in blood-red, like a vengeful ghost, looked confused, then nodded.
The next moment, Su Ping's Spirit Tome, which had just calmed down, opened again.
Su Ping's lips curved upward, and he thought, "Grandpa Cold wasn't wrong after all."
No wonder he had a similar companion beast in his old mansion, serving as his butler.
