Chapter 509: The Embryo's Purpose! The Arrival of a Legendary Breeder
Chapter 509: The Embryo's Purpose! The Arrival of a Legendary Breeder
Evolution, Su Ping had witnessed countless times.
But he had never imagined that such a scene would unfold before him with the being standing right in front of him.
However, Su Ping quickly regained his composure.
He didn't waste any more 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 in that peculiar thing he had seen earlier.
He thought for a moment and took out two items.
One was a mana potion to replenish spirit energy, and the other was the remaining life embryo from before.
After consuming the mana potion, Su Ping's spirit energy was restored, and he gripped the life embryo, carefully sensing the feeling he had experienced earlier.
Despite the absence of the Green Demon Ginseng's assistance, he had to admit that the feeling was deeply profound.
He took out an ordinary carving knife, which he often used to disassemble hard resources. It had a similar purpose to the knife he had just formed, and he could manage to use it with some effort.
Su Ping exhaled deeply, and the carving knife in his hand began to etch.
Instantly, Su Ping entered that state once again.
It was as if he had forgotten himself and the object in his hand, focusing solely on the life embryo.
This tiny thing was only the size of a walnut.
Earlier, with the assistance of the Green Demon Ginseng, Su Ping's carving had been incredibly swift.
However, this time, even without the Green Demon Ginseng's help, Su Ping's carving speed not only didn't slow down but showed signs of being even faster.
In Su Ping's mind, the continuous line that appeared seemed to be drawn at an increasingly rapid pace.
At the same time, Su Ping's hand moved faster as well.
If not for the constraints and limitations of his spirit energy, this carving, which had already reached a state of fluency and comprehension, might have been completed by Su Ping in just a few strokes.
But even with this, compared to the life embryo he had completed half an hour ago, this time, it took less than twenty minutes.
The carved life embryo, identical to the previous one, appeared in his hand.
Looking at the object in his hand, Su Ping, like the Green Demon Ginseng before, slowly immersed it in the Life Spring.
This feeling, akin to a true-to-life birth, made the life embryo vibrant with life.
It seemed as if, in the next moment, a genuinely real life could emerge from within.
So, what was the purpose of this thing?
The life veins, the energy circulation path—it was almost like creating an entirely new life.
However, there was still a difference.
On Blue Star, what constituted life?
Flesh and spirit, or perhaps the soul.
Both the former and the latter formed gradually, and the soul, at lower ranks, was attached to the physical body.
On Blue Star, there were discussions and debates between the Life School and the Necromancy School about whether the body or the soul was the true self.
Su Ping had no interest in participating in these debates, but the theories were quite helpful for his current situation.
The former didn't need much explanation; a growing body, if it could form energy circulation, would possess power and the ability to evolve.
And the life embryo seemed to grant this very thing.
However, in the growth of a life form, the soul could also be nurtured within the body.
This was true for companion beasts and humans alike.
Even mechanical companion beasts were no exception.
The mechanical core, with its special modification activated by the gold element core, held the secret to giving birth to a soul, allowing for the creation of entirely new mechanical companion beasts.
Then...
Su Ping stared at the object in his hand, suddenly feeling a chill down his spine.
But soon, he suppressed the shocking possibility that had just occurred to him.
There were many difficulties, and they seemed insurmountable.
Thinking about it now was pointless.
Instead of dwelling on such impractical thoughts, it was better to consider how to utilize this object.
Su Ping blinked and lifted his head, only then noticing the light of evolution slowly fading in front of him.
The figure in the center of the Heart of Spring appeared before his eyes as the light of evolution dissipated.
He was slightly startled.
Contrary to his expectations, what appeared before him was not a tree.
After all, in his opinion, the fusion of three Holy Spirit-grade resources should result in a tree.
But it wasn't.
Instead, it was a peculiar biological being.
It had human hands and feet, even a human torso, but its body exuded a strange wooden texture.
This feeling was both peculiar and familiar.
Yes, familiar! Su Ping felt like he had encountered this peculiar and abstract form before.
Of course, he hadn't seen this new form of the Green Demon Ginseng before his eyes, but he had felt a similar sensation from another companion beast.
At this moment, the Green Demon Ginseng was unlike other plant-type companion beasts, nor was it like the stone elemental companion beasts, with a body made of wood and stone.
It was more like an elemental flesh embodiment!
That's right, it was the form of the little crow Yaya! The feathers of the little crow Yaya gave Su Ping this feeling.
However, compared to the little crow Yaya, at this very moment, the 'Green Demon Ginseng' before his eyes seemed to be entirely like this, and unlike Yaya, only its feathers were like this.
What was this?
Su Ping wanted to activate the True Eye, but the feedback from the True Eye was even more direct than usual:
???
Su Ping blinked, feeling a little dazed.
However, soon, the figure before him waved a hand like a tree branch.
It was as if it was greeting Su Ping.
Then, amidst Su Ping's astonishment, the figure slowly rooted itself in the very center of the Spring Heart.
That's right, it rooted.
The lower half of its body, like a foot, instantly transformed back into the mother root form, and penetrated deep into the soil.
What was all this about?
Su Ping scratched his head.
However, seemingly sensing Su Ping's confusion, the 'Green Demon Ginseng' once again extended a tendril and touched Su Ping's body.
The moment the tendril connected, a scene slowly emerged.
But this time, it wasn't asking for resources again; it was purely a scene of deep slumber.
"You want to fall asleep?"
Su Ping immediately understood and felt reluctant.
The latter nodded but didn't seem to mind.
"Then, how long will it take for you to wake up?"
Hearing Su Ping's question, the Green Demon Ginseng thought for a moment and then conveyed another scene.
However, this time, there were some resources.
But among these resources, there was something that exceeded Su Ping's understanding.
There were only three things, but he only recognized one of them.
It was a blue enigmatic orb.
This orb seemed like a water ball, and it even pulsated like a heart. With each pulsation, a large amount of beryl-colored water with enigmatic ripples squeezed out.
The other one was even more peculiar—a dark gray stone.
The stone was extremely beautiful, and on its dark gray surface, there were flickers of silver-white, like stars adorning it.
"Do you mean that with these three things, you can complete your awakening?"
Su Ping asked.
The Green Demon Ginseng nodded, then shook its head, pointing to these three scenes, and Su Ping immediately understood:
"With just one of them, you can wake up early?"
The Green Demon Ginseng nodded, indicating that it was teachable.
Then, as Su Ping heaved a sigh of relief, the Green Demon Ginseng thought for a moment, and the tendril extended again. But this time, the tree branch didn't leave any scene; instead, it landed on Su Ping's palm, and the source at the top slowly broke off.
That's right, this thing broke off from the direction of the Green Demon Ginseng and fell entirely into Su Ping's hand.
At the same time, the last bit of information was transmitted, and in the scene, there was only one thing.
It was Xiao Qing.
Apparently, the last tree branch left by this being was not for itself but prepared for Xiao Qing! Su Ping scratched his head, took the broken branch, and looked at the Green Demon Ginseng.
However, at this moment, the Green Demon Ginseng completely disappeared, even its peculiar form vanished without a trace, transforming into the most ancient tree, rooted in the very heart of the Spring Heart, lies the Green Demon Ginseng. Although Su Ping wanted to ask more about the life embryo, it was clear that there was no opportunity at this time. He could only sigh, take the branch, and then, with a deep bow to the body of the Green Demon Ginseng, he said, "Rest assured, senior. I will find and bring you the three resources you need as soon as possible!" Although Su Ping knew that the other two things, which could be compared to the Elixir of Immortality, were also extraordinary, he wouldn't ignore the help of the Green Demon Ginseng, both emotionally and rationally. After taking care of the Green Demon Ginseng, Su Ping turned his attention back to the life embryo in the water basin. This thing still maintained its original appearance, but it made Su Ping frown. Seeing the Green Demon Ginseng's cautiousness and even its rare guidance in creating this life embryo, he also understood the value and preciousness of this thing. But what was its purpose? Su Ping fell into deep thought. Life... Undoubtedly, after such meticulous carving, the life embryo had essentially gained life.
But, is this carved life route useful for all Companion Beasts, or even all living beings?
Or is it only applicable to Plant Companion Beasts?
Even if it's only for Plant Companion Beasts, what's the use?
Wait!
Suddenly, Su Ping seemed to realize its purpose.
He rubbed the life embryo in his hand, as if he had just grasped an invaluable resource.
His mind replayed the scenes from earlier.
Gradually, he began to understand.
Life embryo, life veins, and energy circulation.
The life embryo is essentially just a resource for the Life School, but after completing the carving, it seemed to undergo a qualitative change.
If this energy circulation and life veins are only for Plant Companion Beasts, then can it be considered a special method of reproduction for Plant Companion Beasts?
Exactly!
This was the first function Su Ping thought of, and it was an incredibly powerful one!
The reproduction method of Plant Companion Beasts is unique compared to other Companion Beasts.
Not to mention, just from the rare and extinct Plant Companion Beasts Su Ping brought back from Dianzang this time.
Like Snake Root Wood and Green Ant Moss, whose external elements have gone extinct, that's fine.
But for those that went extinct due to difficult reproduction, like the Dream Lotus, Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum, and Jade Tree, most of them became extinct for this reason.
Even the reproduction of the others is extremely challenging.
Su Ping has been troubled by this recently.
Especially the Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum.
Its reproduction requires the Black Gold Bee.
However, this species also went extinct.
It's unclear how they continued to reproduce in the secret realm of Dianzang.
But now, if this idea holds true, then all these previous difficulties can be said to be completely resolved.
With this in mind, Su Ping felt energized and looked at the item in his hand, suddenly remembering many things.
However, just as Su Ping was about to excitedly head to the Forest Heart for an experiment, a vibrating ringtone sounded.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed, but as his personal phone, there weren't many who knew his number.
In fact, the caller's identity was quite clear:
Zhu Hong.
"Hello, Master Zhu?"
Su Ping answered the call.
Zhu Hong's voice came through the phone, but the sound on the other end was chaotic, lasting for two seconds before it quieted down:
"Su Ping, are you at home? How was your trip to the Imperial City?"
Su Ping nodded:
"Of course, what's the matter? Was your trip to the Imperial City successful?"
Zhu Hong smiled and said:
"What could go wrong? I just went to report on some work. But, together with Old Liu, we're heading straight to the Heart of All Souls!"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, sensing the hidden meaning in Zhu Hong's words:
"Do you have any other instructions?"
Given their relationship with Old Liu, there was no need to repeat this to Su Ping.
Zhu Hong had been at the Heart of All Souls for over two months, and during the New Year, he stayed there for another two months. Counting the time, he had been there for half a year. Why would he need to mention this? Clearly, there was another situation.
Indeed, that was the case.
Zhu Hong paused before continuing:
"Yes, this time, there's someone else coming with me and Old Liu."
"Who?"
"The news about Dianzang has spread across Blue Star, and everyone knows that a batch of historically extinct Plant Companion Beasts has appeared in Loong Kingdom. This person is coming because of this."
Zhu Hong didn't reveal everything, still keeping some suspense.
But Su Ping understood what Zhu Hong meant.
"Seems like the visitor has an extraordinary identity!"
Zhu Hong's voice carried a smile:
"Indeed, it's not ordinary. The owner of the Lion Kingdom of the West Continent's Library, Olivia Connor, the world-renowned Plant Companion Beast Breeder Master, the legendary female Breeder, and the Grand Master Breeder of the Life Forest Matrix, Erlis Connor's younger sister."
Su Ping nodded, showing no signs of agitation. He had seen and heard about her on the Breeder Masters' platform and in the rear.
He had even responded to her emails in the rear.
Thinking of this, he said:
"Okay, I understand. You can bring Breeder Master Connor directly to the Forest Heart. I still have an experiment to conduct, so I won't rush to receive this senior Breeder."
Zhu Hong on the other end was taken aback, then sighed helplessly:
"Alright, you kid."
Su Ping put this aside and headed to the Forest Heart with excitement.
