Chapter 494: The Principle of Tai Chi and Yin-Yang! Su Ping's Realization!

What is the most satisfying business deal?

Undoubtedly, it's a deal with no initial investment.

How much is a youngling of an Imperial-rank Beast Pet worth?

This can be seen from the results of the Youth Professional Assessment Competition, which is unimaginable! Even the most ordinary youngling with Imperial-rank racial potential, if sold, would be valued at over nine digits!

Then, what about an Imperial-rank flying Beast Pet?

What if it's a rare, high-tier Imperial-rank Beast Pet with a super-tier skill in its racial skills?

Needless to say, its value is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Generally, this type of Beast Pet, once it grows a little larger and develops some wild strength and a certain level of self-awareness and intelligence, becomes extremely resistant to human domestication.

This is also why Su Ping didn't pay much attention to the birds that Ya Ya was constantly chasing around. After a few attempts at taming them in the Beast Space, he only learned some basic feeding and care habits and then became too lazy to bother with them.

However, this Divine Wind Sparrow was different.

In the library, Su Ping held a cultivation book in one hand while reaching out to stroke the sturdy yet smooth blue feathers on the large bird, feeling a sense of contentment.

It was evident that even after being captured, the Divine Wind Sparrow still wasn't accustomed to this feeling.

However, when faced with the little flame on Su Ping's shoulder, it didn't dare resist.

This obedience seemed to be ingrained in its bones and genes.

Su Ping ignored the Divine Wind Sparrow's slight resistance, which was gradually becoming a habit, and instead focused his attention on the book in his hand.

The book was not one of his own cultivation technique inheritance tomes.

It was a special energy theory book:

"The Identity of Energy Contradiction: Energy that Opposes Yet Complements Each Other."

Su Ping wondered who the author was to come up with such an incredibly long title.

But in this day and age, short titles were already taken, and it was understandable for a purely theoretical book like this to have a lengthy title.

Although the title was long, the content... was relatively average.

However, Su Ping found it quite interesting.

In his opinion, this book was much more captivating than the ones from Master Si Tu Feng.

—In that inheritance, there were either outdated ancient poison-type cultivation techniques or poison-type skills that couldn't be cultivated on ordinary poison-type Beast Pets, and there were also a few that couldn't be used yet, requiring experience points from the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits to complete.

In comparison, this book was a better read.

Although the content of this book was already concisely explained in ancient classic literature, Su Ping still found it fascinating.

All things in the world have their extremes; when Yang reaches its peak, Yin emerges, and when Yin peaks, Yang arises.

This book was a verbose explanation, analysis, illustration, repetition, and citation of classics, all amounting to a 170,000-character book spanning over a hundred pages.

Although Su Ping felt that the hundred yuan he spent on the book was a bit of a waste,

he had to admit that classical literature had its depth and sedimentation, and modern interpretations offered unique perspectives.

Especially on Bluesphere, where energy, particularly elemental energy opposition, was a tangible reality.

The most apparent example was the flow of life and death, and the interplay of light and darkness.

And this was what Su Ping was researching.

With this in mind, Su Ping stroked the large bird beside him again.

Two days ago, Ya Ya and the Divine Wind Sparrow had a fierce battle, which eventually ended with Ya Ya and Little Flame gaining a slight upper hand.

However, the reason for their victory was twofold.

First, it was due to the intervention of the Phoenix Perching Pine.

Second, Little Flame's strength far surpassed that of the other Flame Lord clone.

In reality, Ya Ya was completely suppressed by the Divine Wind Sparrow.

This made Ya Ya feel extremely frustrated and dissatisfied.

Especially after learning that the Divine Wind Sparrow would also be staying in the Wansheng Heart, and possibly even the Phoenix Heart, Ya Ya felt a significant challenge to its 'Bird King' status.

Previously, Su Ping had been planning to perform that special, uncertain cultivation attempt on Ya Ya, and even sustained it for a while, with some special resources already in hand,

but he never felt confident enough to start, only helping Ya Ya adapt beforehand without formally beginning.

And this time, feeling its status challenged, Ya Ya took the initiative again!

After all, it had already reached the Monarch Rank and wasn't far from its racial limit.

This was why Su Ping picked up the book before him.

Of course, there were many similar books he had been reading during this period.

Most of them were about opposing energies like light and darkness.

In the Flame Seed's skill introduction, there was only a simple sentence.

'Flames transcend elemental energy, residing within the bodies of Fire-type Beast Pets.

So, during this period, Su Ping speculated that to ignite the Flame Seed, one would need to nurture a flame that transcends elemental energy, allowing the Flame Seed to briefly merge and intersect with the soul and the self.

Only then could the Flame Seed sprout smoothly, evolving into a unique flame life form.

Even the so-called Supreme Flame.

Such a hypothesis needed to be tested in practice.

Then, what is a flame that transcends the limitations of elemental energy?

Obviously, Zhu Hong had inadvertently provided the answer earlier.

Elemental traits!

The elemental trait of flames is burning.

A flame that transcends the restriction of this burning trait is equivalent to a flame that transcends elemental energy.

Of course, Su Ping was well aware that it was impossible to maintain such a state before the Flame Seed's ability entered the second stage, let alone the final stage.

However, the fusion and ignition with the Flame Seed shouldn't require that kind of flame to last for too long.

This was Su Ping's second-stage idea and approach to nurturing the Flame Seed.

He couldn't guarantee absolute correctness, but he had some confidence.

Apart from this, the focus shifted to Ya Ya herself.

Previously, Su Ping had contemplated Ya Ya's future nurturing and evolution.

One was the ancient mythical beast, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and the mythical beast 'Amaterasu' in the Sakura Nation.

Whether the Dark Flame Ancient Crow's bloodline was the Three-Legged Golden Crow or the Amaterasu Crow, Su Ping didn't know.

He didn't have the mood to trace the origins of the bloodline at the moment.

In the future, when there was a chance, he could just try nurturing a few Fire Crows.

However, Ya Ya held a different position in Su Ping's heart compared to other crows.

Su Ping took out his notebook and flipped through the records he had made before going to Dianchang.

Taiji, the perfect fusion of Yin and Yang energies.

But these two concepts, Yin and Yang, were too abstract.

In general, even various elemental energies could be categorized as Yin and Yang.

Even though the Taiji diagram clearly illustrated the perfect fusion of these two attributes, Su Ping had never seen a Cultivator nurture a skill with Taiji as its core.

At this thought, Su Ping put down his notebook, connected everything in his mind, and extended his hand. In his palm, an object appeared.

It was a peculiar transparent bottle.

The value of this bottle was no less than that of the Divine Wind Sparrow chick beside it, and it might even be more precious.

He had boldly asked for it from the headquarters of the Capital Cultivator's Association when he went to borrow something.

This was the biggest sacrifice he had made for Ya Ya.

Divine Spirit Grade Resource: Two-Pole Qi.

Su Ping had read a lot of information during this time, including the origin of this item.

In the vast Dragon Country, there was only this one bottle of Two-Pole Qi.

It's easy to imagine how much face Su Ping had.

Of course, in reality, this item has appeared in history, though not frequently.

However, regardless of the Dragon Country or throughout history, the application of this Two-Pole Qi has always been limited.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Jiu Book Bar.

The reason is simple; there has never been a precise explanation for how to use this item.

To outsiders, it's just two opposing energies, one black and one white.

Currently, the widely recognized function is, in fact, only one.

This is also the main reason why Two-Pole Qi is considered a Divine Spirit Grade Resource.

This item can mutate a pet beast, and not just any mutation!

Su Ping has the best example right by his side.

That's right, Miss Qin's Life Ancient Tree.

A mutation that embodies both life and death.

Once this item is used, the pet beast can awaken an anti-attribute that is completely opposite to its own attribute; water awakens from fire, and darkness awakens from light.

The Cultivator's Association, led by Elder Feng, also believed that Su Ping had the same intention, hence the request for the Two-Pole Qi.

After all, Master Su's 'thirst' for mutated pet beasts is well-known.

Before this, Su Ping had been nurturing and adapting Ya Ya in this regard.

He had tried things like 'Light and Dark Lantern Core' and 'Penetrating Light Dust', but the effects were limited, without any qualitative change.

The reason Su Ping hadn't used this item was his fear of causing problems.

After all, the main attribute of the little crow should be fire. If it doesn't fuse fire with darkness to create light, but instead awakens water abilities, he would be completely lost.

If that happened, forget about igniting the Flame Seed; even evolution would be a blessing.

During this time, as he read these books, he was constantly thinking of ways to address this issue.

Despite the abundance of books, most of them were theoretical, offering neither solutions nor even a spark of inspiration.

Su Ping tossed the book aside and furrowed his brows slightly, lying back on the library's sofa chair with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

Regardless, even if the little black crow didn't voice its opinion, Ya Ya's cultivation and evolution should proceed.

Procrastinating for so long wasn't a solution.

But... the most crucial issue remained unresolved.

How could he ensure the stability of the Two-Pole Qi after its use?

"Hey? You're here?"

A voice sounded from not too far away, accompanied by footsteps that made Su Ping's brows furrow once more. However, when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

Qin Xiaoxue, upon seeing Su Ping's expression, immediately understood the situation and chuckled, "Tsk tsk, what problem has stumped our great Cultivator Su now?"

Su Ping shook his head, "How did you get here?"

"How did I get here? I've been waiting for you at the Wansheng Heart all these days. It's you who hasn't been paying attention to me! Do you still remember the promise you made to me?" Qin Xiaoxue pretended to glare at the guy in front of her.

Su Ping was taken aback, "What promise?"

"Oh, I knew you were just saying those things in front of the old lady to deceive me! Didn't you say that after returning from Dianzang Province, you'd help me research and evolve my tree?"

Tree?

It was then that Su Ping realized what she was referring to. Just as he was thinking about it, the very thing he was pondering had come to him:

"Your mutated Life Ancient Tree? What's wrong with it? I remember its racial limit could reach the Monarch Rank, and it might even break through to the Imperial Rank, right?"

Qin Xiaoxue sat down across from Su Ping with a troubled expression, "Ever since you cultivated Rooted Firm, the tree's life and death energies have become imbalanced. Do you remember that the tree used to need to expel life energy daily to promote death energy for attribute balance?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ping blinked, recalling a long-forgotten incident.

The first time Qin Xiaoxue came to the Wansheng Heart to cultivate her wood-type pet, he had witnessed this very phenomenon.

Moreover, back then, Su Ping had found it a pity to see the life energy dissipating and had even taken some from Qin Xiaoxue to give to the Falling Seed Pine that belonged to Li Shu.

It was this life energy that activated the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits for the Falling Seed Pine, making it the first plant-type pet to be illuminated in the book.

This granted it the extremely important Soul Communication talent.

Suddenly, Su Ping's brows furrowed as he seemed to grasp something.

Even before Qin Xiaoxue could explain the problem, he had found the essence of Yin and Yang from this simple question about a past phenomenon, something he had already witnessed long ago.

He muttered softly, "Wood-type cultivation affects the balance of life and death... Balance... Balance... Yin and Yang are the way, and balance is their essence, opposing yet harmonious..."

"So, it's not just about balancing the 'quantity' but also the more important 'quality'... Yes, quality and balance! Yin and Yang are perfectly balanced and harmonious, forming the Tai Chi! If the quality of Wood in Yang is 1, then the quality of Life is likely 2. Their energies, when combined, disrupt this Yin-Yang balance, making the ratio of Life and Death both 2..."

"Moreover, Wood might not just be a 'Yang' quality of 1 in this Yin-Yang opposition. It might also contain 'Yin' qualities of 0.2, 0.4, or 0.6, which is why the balance of the Life Ancient Tree is disrupted but not completely shattered."

"Because the Wood's Yang and Yin qualities are never equal, even if it appears balanced, it still can't achieve the perfect Tai Chi state! It can be deduced that the Five Elements attributes cannot perfectly merge with Yin and Yang..."

"To function, the Thousand-One Five Elements Paper Chart is the most perfect energy flow route. Wood belongs to the Five Elements energy, and although it has its own characteristics, it is considered a single entity, not following the symmetrical principles of Yin and Yang..."

"So, the 'quality' of this Yin and Yang in Wood needs to be eliminated first. By using the Two-Pole Qi, corresponding energies can be generated. Then, by simultaneously using resources to stimulate and amplify the 'quantity', an attempt can be made to fuse and ignite!"

"Not just ignite! Tai Chi... won't be limited to changes in the fire seed. This is just the transformation on Ya Ya's body. On other pets, there might be even more!"

"Unfortunately, there are too few attribute-opposing mutants, and the Two-Pole Qi is too precious, so it's unlikely that many pets can undergo this type of cultivation..."

Qin Xiaoxue stared at the young man in front of her, her mouth agape.

Initially, she could understand what Su Ping was saying, but as he continued, she became completely lost with terms like 'quality' and 'quantity'.

All she knew was that the guy in front of her seemed to have entered some sort of trance, and the result of this state might be beyond imagination!
