Chapter 509: The Embryo's Function! Arrival of the Legendary Breeder!
Chapter 509: The Embryo's Function! Arrival of the Legendary Breeder!
Evolution, a process Su Ping had witnessed countless times.
But he never imagined that such a scene would unfold before his very eyes, involving the being standing before him.
However, Su Ping quickly regained his composure.
He didn't waste brain cells pondering the identity, reason, or form of this being's evolution.
From start to finish, this being's appearance had always been beyond his comprehension, outside the scope of his knowledge.
Su Ping's interest remained with that object from before.
After some thought, he took out two items.
One was a mana potion to replenish mental strength, and the other was the remaining life embryo from earlier.
After consuming the potion and restoring his mental strength, Su Ping grasped the life embryo and carefully sensed the feeling he had experienced earlier.
Even without the assistance of the Mystical Green Demon, the sensation was deeply etched in his mind.
He took out an ordinary carving knife, one he often used to disassemble hard resources. It had a similar purpose to the one he had formed earlier and could be used in a pinch.
Su Ping took a deep breath, and the carving knife in his hand began to etch.
Instantly, he entered that state once more.
It was as if he had forgotten himself and the world around him, and all he could see was the life embryo in his hand.
This tiny object was no bigger than a walnut.
Previously, with the help of the Mystical Green Demon, Su Ping had carved with incredible speed.
However, this time, even without her assistance, his carving speed not only didn't slow down but seemed to be even faster.
In Su Ping's mind, the continuous line that appeared seemed to flow from his thoughts, and the speed at which he envisioned it grew faster.
At the same time, the speed of his carving also increased.
If not for the constraints of his mental strength, this carving, now that Su Ping had seemingly mastered it, might have been completed in just a few strokes.
But even so, compared to the life embryo that took half an hour to complete earlier, this one took less than twenty minutes.
The finished life embryo, identical to the previous one, appeared in his hand.
Looking at the object in his hand, Su Ping slowly immersed it in the Life Spring, just as the Mystical Green Demon had done earlier.
This feeling, as if enlightenment had dawned, made the life embryo come to life.
It was as if a truly authentic life could emerge from within it.
So, what was the purpose of this thing? The life vessels, the energy circuit—it was almost like creating an entirely new life.
But there was still a difference.
On Blue Star, what was life composed of? Flesh and spirit, or perhaps soul.
However, both the former and the latter formed gradually. And the soul, when one's cultivation realm was not high, was attached to the physical body.
On Blue Star, there were debates between the Life School and the Necromancy School about whether the physical body or the soul was the true self.
Su Ping had no interest in these debates, but the theories were helpful for his current situation.
The former was self-evident—a body that could grow meant possessing the power realm and the ability to evolve.
And the life embryo seemed to grant this.
However, in the growth of a life form, the soul could be nurtured within the body.
This was true for both beasts and humans.
Even mechanical beasts were no exception.
The mechanical core, activated by a special modification with a golden spear core, held the secret to the birth of a soul, and thus, a new mechanical beast could be born from it.
Then...
Su Ping looked at the object in his hand, and a chill ran down his spine.
But soon, he suppressed the faint possibility that had flashed through his mind.
There were too many difficulties, and at first glance, they seemed insurmountable.
Thinking about it now was pointless.
Instead of these impractical ideas, it was better to consider how to utilize this object at present.
Su Ping blinked and lifted his head, only then noticing the light of evolution before him.
The figure at the center of the Heart of Spring became visible as the light of evolution faded.
He was slightly startled.
What appeared before him was not the tree he had expected.
After all, in his opinion, the fusion of three Holy Spirit-level resources should have resulted in a large tree.
Instead, it was a peculiar humanoid creature.
It had human hands, feet, torso, and even a head, but its body had a strange wooden texture.
The sensation was both peculiar and abstract.
Yes, abstract! Su Ping felt he had encountered this peculiar and abstract form before.
Of course, it wasn't the new form of the Mystical Demon, Spring Participate, that he had witnessed, but rather, he had felt a similar sensation from another pet beast.
At this moment, Spring Participate was unlike other plant-type pet beasts or stone element beasts, whose bodies were made of wood and stone.
Instead, it was more like a physical manifestation of its corresponding element!
Indeed, it was the same form as Little Crow YaYa. The feathers of Little Crow YaYa gave Su Ping this feeling.
However, compared to Little Crow YaYa, at this very moment, the 'Mystical Demon, Spring Participate' before him seemed to possess this form throughout its entire body, unlike YaYa, whose feathers alone had this appearance.
What exactly was this?
Su Ping wanted to activate his True Sight, but the feedback he received was even more direct than usual:
"???"
Su Ping blinked, feeling a bit bewildered.
But soon, the figure before him waved a hand like a tree branch, as if greeting Su Ping.
Then, to Su Ping's astonishment, the figure slowly rooted itself in the very center of the Spring Heart.
Indeed, it had taken root.
Its foot-like lower body instantly transformed into its previous Mother Root form, sinking into the soil.
What was all this?
Su Ping scratched his head.
However, sensing Su Ping's confusion, the 'Mystical Demon, Spring Participate' extended a tentacle again and touched Su Ping's body.
The moment the tentacle connected, a scene slowly emerged.
But this time, it wasn't about acquiring resources; it was purely an image of a slumbering figure.
"Are you going to sleep?"
Su Ping immediately understood and felt reluctant.
The figure nodded but didn't seem to mind.
"Then, approximately how long will it take for you to awaken?"
Hearing Su Ping's question, Spring Participate thought for a moment and then conveyed another image.
However, this time, there were some resources within the image.
But among these resources, there were a few that exceeded Su Ping's understanding.
There were only three, and he only recognized one of them.
It was the familiar Elixir of Immortality.
Aside from that, there were two other things.
One was a strange blue sphere.
The sphere resembled a water ball and even pulsated like a heart. With each beat, a substantial amount of bizarrely patterned water would squeeze out from within the blue water.
The other one was even more peculiar—a strange dark gray orb.
The orb was incredibly beautiful, with a hint of silver-white sparkle on its dark gray surface, as if adorned with stars.
"Do you mean that with these three, you can complete your awakening?"
Su Ping asked.
Spring Participate nodded, then shook her head, pointing at these three images and then tapping them, and Su Ping immediately understood:
"Just one of them is enough to hasten your awakening!"
Spring Participate nodded, appearing pleased with Su Ping's understanding.
Subsequently, as Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief, Spring Participate thought for a moment, and the tree branch-like tentacle extended again. However, this time, the branch didn't leave any image but landed on Su Ping's palm, and the tip of the branch slowly broke off.
Indeed, the branch broke off from Spring Participate's side and fell entirely into Su Ping's hand.
Simultaneously, the last bit of information was conveyed, and in the image, there was only one thing.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Jiu Book Bar~~
It was none other than Xiao Qing.
Evidently, the last branch that this individual left wasn't for herself but was prepared for Xiao Qing!
Su Ping scratched his head, took the broken branch, and looked at Spring Participate.
However, at this moment, Spring Participate became completely motionless, and even the strange form she had previously displayed vanished without a trace, transforming back into that peculiar tree, rooted in the very center of the Spring Heart Spirit Land.
Although Su Ping very much wanted to ask again about the purpose of the Life Embryo, it was clear that this wasn't the right time! He could only sigh, take the broken branch, and say to Spring Participate's body:
"Rest assured, senior. I will definitely find and bring you those three resources as soon as possible!"
Su Ping was well aware that the resources that could be compared to the Elixir of Immortality were undoubtedly extraordinary.
But Spring Participate's assistance to him was something he couldn't ignore, both emotionally and logically.
After settling down, Su Ping looked again at the Life Embryo in the water.
The Life Embryo maintained its original appearance, but it made Su Ping furrow his brows.
Seeing Spring Participate's cautious and meticulous guidance, which was a rare occurrence, he understood the value and rarity of this item.
But, what exactly was its purpose?
Su Ping fell into deep thought.
Life,
Undoubtedly, the Life Embryo, after undergoing such meticulous crafting, had essentially gained life.
But, is this carved life route useful for all pets, or even all living beings? Or is it only applicable to plant-type pets? If it's only for plant-type pets, what purpose does it serve?
Wait a moment!
Suddenly, Su Ping seemed to have an epiphany, realizing the implications.
He caressed the life embryo in his hand, as if grasping the most precious resource.
His mind replayed the scenes he had just witnessed.
Gradually, he began to understand.
Life embryo, life vessels, and energy circuit.
The life embryo, in essence, is just a life system resource. However, once the carving is complete, it seems to undergo a qualitative change that's hard to put into words.
If this energy circuit and life vessels are specifically for plant-type pets, then could it be considered a unique breeding method for plant-type pets? That's right!
This was the first function that occurred to Su Ping, and it was an incredibly Heaven-Defying function! Plant-type pets have a distinct breeding method from other pets.
Not to mention, just this time, Su Ping brought back these rare and precious extinct pets from Yunnan-Yunnan.
Take the Snake Root Wood and Green Ant Moss, whose external elements have already gone extinct.
But there are also those that are difficult to breed and have become extinct, like the Dream Lotus, Black Gold Imperial Daisy, and Jade Branch Crystal Tree. Most of them became extinct due to these reasons.
Even for the others, their breeding methods are extremely challenging.
Su Ping had been troubled by this issue recently.
Especially the Black Gold Imperial Daisy.
This thing's breeding requires the Black Gold Bee, which has also gone extinct.
It's unclear how they continue to breed in the secret realm of Yunnan-Yunnan.
But now, if this idea holds true, then all these difficulties can be said to be completely resolved.
With this in mind, Su Ping felt energized. Looking at the life embryo in his hand, he suddenly remembered many things.
However, just as Su Ping was about to excitedly head to the Heart of the Forest for an experiment, a vibrating ringtone sounded.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed, but as it was his personal phone, he rarely received calls.
Indeed, the caller's identity was clear: Zhu Hong.
Su Ping answered the call.
Zhu Hong's voice came through the phone, but it was a bit chaotic. After two seconds of noise, it quieted down: "Su Ping, are you at home?"
Su Ping nodded: "Of course, what's the matter? Was your trip to the Capital City successful?"
Zhu Hong smiled and said, "What could go wrong? I'm just here to report on some work. But, I'm coming to the Heart of All Spirits with Old Liu right now!"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, sensing a hidden meaning in Zhu Hong's words.
"Do you have any other instructions?"
Given their relationship, there was no need for Zhu Hong to repeat himself.
Zhu Hong had been at the Heart of All Spirits for two months, and during the Chinese New Year, he had also stayed there for two months. In total, he had been there for half a year, so there was no need for Su Ping to explain these things. The fact that he did so indicated something unusual.
Indeed, that was the case.
Zhu Hong paused before continuing, "It's like this, there's someone else coming with me and Old Liu this time."
"Who?"
"The Yunnan-Yunnan incident is now known across Blue Star, and people know that a batch of historically extinct plant-type pets have appeared in Dragon Nation. This person is coming because of this."
Zhu Hong didn't elaborate further, keeping the suspense.
Su Ping understood what Zhu Hong had implied earlier.
"It seems the visitor is not an ordinary person!"
Zhu Hong's voice carried a smile, "Indeed, she's not ordinary. Olivia Connor, the Duchess of the Lion Country or the Sunless Empire Library, is a world-renowned plant-type breeding grandmaster, a legendary breeder, and the Grandmaster Breeder of the 'Life Forest Matrix.' She's the younger sister of Erlis Connor."
Su Ping nodded, unperturbed. He had seen her at the back of the Hall of Fame and had heard of her.
He had even replied to her emails in the back office.
Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, I understand. You can bring this senior breeder, Connor, directly to the Heart of the Forest. I have an experiment to finish, so I won't rush to receive her."
Zhu Hong on the other end was taken aback, then sighed with a bitter smile, "Alright, you kid."
After hanging up, Su Ping put the call behind him and excitedly made his way to the Heart of the Forest.
