Chapter 510: Replicating the Imperial Chrysanthemum! The Connor Family's Deal!
Chapter 510: Replicating the Imperial Chrysanthemum! The Connor Family's Deal!
A graceful flying vessel, akin to a celestial wind, slowly drifted across the sky.
It wasn't exceptionally fast, but it excelled in its remarkable stability.
This vessel, named Moonshriek, now belonged to the Liu family.
However, Liu Fuhai, now a true Master Breeder, was the owner of this Moonshriek, and he cautiously sat across from an elderly woman with white hair.
There was no other choice; even though he was now a Master Breeder, compared to the old lady before him, Liu Fuhai was a generation younger, still a junior.
After Master Zhu left to make a phone call, only Liu Fuhai remained, sitting opposite the white-haired old lady.
The old lady glanced at the nervous Liu Fuhai and spoke in fluent Loong Kingdom language with a smile:
"Master Liu, I haven't had the chance to congratulate you on becoming a recognized Master Breeder in the Loong Kingdom. I also thank you for your contributions to the Beastmaster field with your Super Rank Skill. Your name will shine brightly on the monument of Beastmasters in the Loong Kingdom and even the world."
Although Master Liu felt that her words were a bit strange, he quickly responded with humility:
"Compared to you and your family, I am still a student. Moreover, my status as a Master Breeder is due to luck, and a large part of it is because of Su Ping's help."
A Western girl with platinum blonde hair, sitting across from the old lady, rolled her eyes at his humility, clearly not bothered by the bald old man's modesty.
However, upon hearing Su Ping's name, her eyes lit up, and she looked at her great-grandmother.
Olivia Connor intentionally steered the conversation towards their purpose for this visit.
The previous old man had been extremely tight-lipped, so she took the opportunity while he was out making a phone call to gather some information.
"Did Su Ping also contribute to your promotion work?"
At this point, the old lady, noticing Liu's slight wariness, quickly waved her hand:
"Liu, you don't need to be suspicious. I'm not trying to pry into your promotion work. I'm just extremely curious about this rising star in the Beastmaster world, oh, I'm sorry, this dazzling comet in the Beastmaster world."
Only then did Liu Fuhai relax a little.
The identity and status of the other party, and their influence in the Beastmaster field, were undeniable, especially since they were a Beastmaster from a foreign land.
They were potential competitors.
Super Rank Skills were usually strictly confidential, and every newly developed Beastmaster skill was kept secret.
However, Liu Fuhai could understand what the old lady meant:
"No Beastmaster Breeder who knows about Su Ping's work wouldn't be interested. You're not the first, nor will you be the last."
The old lady's praise was met with complete understanding:
"Of course, my interest in Breeder Su isn't just curiosity. I also have great respect and amazement for him. Being acknowledged by Charles is enough proof of his abilities.
At the same time, I also thank Saint Dragon for giving me this opportunity to come here in person."
A hint of confusion flashed in Liu Fuhai's eyes.
He hadn't let this situation cloud his judgment.
There were many peculiarities about this matter.
Generally, there were few interactions between countries like the Loong Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom.
Even if there were visits, they wouldn't be like Olivia Connor's, with only one attendant accompanying her, and not even the two Holy Spirit Rank Beastmasters who came with her this time.
The most crucial question was, who was Su Ping? He was the Loong Kingdom's prized gem.
The All Souls Heart seemed to allow Su Ping to do as he pleased, but in reality, as soon as there was any suspicious activity from outsiders, Meng Yao would sense it immediately.
Not to mention the hidden influence of the Mad Saint, even unknown to Liu Fuhai, who was controlling the overall situation.
Allowing a foreign Holy Spirit Rank Beastmaster and Master Rank figure to come into contact with Su Ping was an extremely risky move.
Yet, she still came.
And it was with the approval of Saint Dragon.
This left Liu Fuhai puzzled, but he wouldn't ask about matters concerning the upper echelons.
Ever since he became a Master Breeder, stumbling and struggling with that smelly kid, Liu Fuhai knew that he had to adjust his mindset as he stepped into the higher ranks.
"By the way, what research topic is Breeder Su currently working on? Of course, if it's inconvenient to talk about, you don't have to."
The old lady's words interrupted Liu Fuhai's deep thoughts.
Liu Fuhai hurriedly replied, "I don't have much specific information either, Duchess. You see, Su Ping is unlike any other breeder in that he never gets stuck on one research direction for long. In his dictionary, there's always a new direction to explore."
"However, recently, I've heard rumors from the Imperial Capital Breeder's Association that Su Ping seems to be focusing on Wood-type and Plant-type Companion Beast breeding."
"Oh?"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Olivia opened her mouth in surprise. She was intrigued, but before she could speak, footsteps approached, and Zhu Hong, who had just finished his call, returned from outside the cabin.
"What are we talking about? I've greeted Su Ping. We've entered Linzhou's territory, so we're slowing down. We'll be at the Wanling Heart soon."
As expected, the three of them looked out the window. The previously high-flying ship had descended significantly.
Two minutes later, the brand-new Moonshriek slowly descended from the sky.
However, the only person waiting there was Meng Yao.
The platinum-haired girl finally had a chance to speak up, frowning as she said, "This Su Breeder is quite impolite, isn't he? Isn't Loong Kingdom known for its etiquette?"
She spoke in a Western language, but Zhu Hong seemed to understand her.
The old lady frowned, "Ilo!"
The girl shrugged, clearly unbothered by her grandmother's reprimand.
Zhu Hong felt a bit embarrassed and said, "It seems like Su Ping has made some new breeding discovery and is too busy to meet us right now. Please don't take it personally, Breeder Connor."
The old lady waved her hand, unconcerned about such formalities. She hadn't come here for etiquette.
Instead, she was extremely interested in the so-called research discovery and eagerly asked, "In that case, can we go and see it?"
"Of course. Su Ping didn't say that outsiders weren't allowed, and your main purpose for coming here is to see those extinct plant-type Companion Beasts, isn't it?"
Indeed, those who excelled in the breeding field were naturally curious.
Meng Yao and Zhu Hong led the way, heading towards the Lin Heart.
As they walked and observed, the old lady nodded, "Su Breeder seems to place great importance on the breeding and cultivation of plant-type Companion Beasts."
Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai exchanged glances. Was this young man focusing on plant-type Companion Beast breeding?
He valued the breeding of all Companion Beasts.
Recently, for some unknown reason, he had shifted his attention to plant-type Companion Beasts.
However, neither of them said anything. They walked with the foreign old lady and even saw some of the extinct plant-type Companion Beasts.
The old lady was thrilled.
She had never seen a Holy Spirit Rank breeder so cautious and meticulous with their work.
From this, Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai could tell that this foreign old lady was genuinely passionate about breeding.
As they walked and paused, they finally saw their destination in the distance.
The young man, who was a bit over-the-top, appeared even younger than Ilo Connor, who stood behind Olivia.
Yet, in the breeding world, his status was rapidly catching up to Zhu Hong, the renowned young breeder of Loong Kingdom.
At this moment, this talented young man was in an awkward position, lying on the ground with his buttocks in the air, completely unaware of the group approaching slowly from two hundred meters away. His entire focus was on what was in front of him.
And everyone saw what was before them.
The Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum!
A plant-type Companion Beast that had become extinct thousands of years ago, known for its rich resources despite average combat strength.
The accompanying Black Gold Bees and their honey were ancient royal tributes, so precious that it was hard to imagine.
But did this young man's actions really warrant such attention?
Zhu Hong wanted to approach him, but at that moment, the foreign old lady beside him stopped him.
Under her wrinkled skin, like dried orange peel, her eyes, like emeralds, shone with wisdom as she watched Su Ping's actions.
In that instant, everyone could see clearly that Su Ping was holding something in his hands, connected to the Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum in front of him.
It was as if a branch had extended from the chrysanthemum.
But before anyone could understand what was happening, the branch slowly detached, and in just five seconds, the object in Su Ping's hands sprouted and grew branches.
Then, before anyone could react, a new Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum bud slowly emerged.
Although it hadn't bloomed and its aura was extremely weak, it was only an ordinary first or second rank.
However, no one could deny that this was a brand new Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum!
Olivia abruptly turned her head and looked at Zhu Hong, who was standing beside her.
Zhu Hong blinked, also seemingly unable to process the situation.
It was as if Su Ping had brought out a young Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum beforehand.
But Zhu Hong was well aware that there was only one such Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum from the Diancang Mountains.
So, had Su Ping produced this Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum out of thin air, like a magic trick?
At this moment, only Olivia herself knew the shock and astonishment she felt.
The slowly born Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum clearly had no self-awareness or wisdom, only instincts. After falling from Su Ping's hand, it took root beside the large Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum.
Greedily absorbing nutrients from the soil.
But how was this possible? Just then, Su Ping finally noticed everyone's presence, turned his head, and frowned slightly.
However, he quickly recovered and walked over after greeting them:
"Old Master Zhu, you're back. Is this Breeder Connor? It's a pleasure to meet you. Your question on the Temple Breeder platform was very sharp and crucial."
Olivia Connor forced a difficult smile, her gaze constantly wanting to look at the Black Gold Imperial Chrysanthemum.
But at this moment, she could only grasp Su Ping's outstretched hand and give it a light squeeze.
At the same time, she seemed to have made a decision, and turned to Su Ping:
"Breeder Su, can I have a private word with you?"
Su Ping was startled, his brows furrowed. Not only him, but the other three also reacted the same way.
Meng Yao spoke up directly:
"Ms. Connor, this..."
The old lady turned her head and smiled, saying, "I swear by the Soul Contract that I will not harm Breeder Su on this trip. Otherwise, the entire Connor Clan will face soul annihilation."
Meng Yao and Zhu Hong blinked.
Only the young girl beside them looked at the grandmother as if she had seen a ghost.
Su Ping was also taken aback, but he nodded at the old lady: "Alright, but let me prepare first."
Half an hour later, after Meng Yao's direct call to the Tian Ting was approved, various protective measures were put in place to ensure Su Ping's survival in the event of a Holy Spirit Rank attack, and with various Holy Spirit Rank companion beasts on standby, finally, the old lady and the young man entered a private room.
As soon as they entered, the first words from this foreign old lady whom Su Ping was meeting for the first time left him completely astonished:
"Su Ping, I heard from the Holy Dragon that you are extremely interested in the Elixir of Immortality?"
Su Ping's eyes twitched.
The conversation with Xia Tian still echoed in his ears.
At the same time, before Su Ping could open his mouth, before he could finish pondering what to say in response to such a conversation, the foreign old lady continued:
"I heard that on your trip to Diancang, you obtained a World Tree Leaf?"
Su Ping's brows furrowed slightly.
He had some doubts about the Holy Dragon Legend, but why was this old lady so forthcoming?
"Don't worry, only I know about this. The Lion Kingdom is unaware, and besides, the Lion Kingdom and I have always been at odds, haven't we?"
Looking at the smiling, weathered old lady, Su Ping seemed to understand her intention.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "If possible, bring me a piece of the World Tree Leaf! At that time, I will exchange the Elixir of Immortality for it!"
Su Ping's brows furrowed:
"Duchess, why should I trust you? Moreover, even if I did, it's impossible to obtain another World Tree Leaf!"
The old lady exhaled, her expression becoming extremely indifferent and resolute:
"Don't be hasty in your refusal, and don't be too hasty in your promises. As for why you should trust me? The reason is simple. Next year's World Breeder Lifetime Achievement Awards will be held in the Lion Kingdom!
At that time, after the award ceremony, I will personally retrieve the Elixir of Immortality that was taken by the Lion Kingdom's royal family, and then the entire Connor Clan will join the Lion Kingdom!"
These words were like a thunderclap in Su Ping's ears, leaving him incredulous as he looked at the centenarian old lady.
