Chapter 511: Spring God's Name! The Opening of Soul Heart!
Chapter 511: Spring God's Name! The Opening of Soul Heart!
Su Ping had considered various possibilities, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect the elderly lady before him to utter such words.
The upcoming Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony for breeders next year, and this old lady intends to steal the elixir of immortality from it?
Moreover, she wants to lead the Connor family to join the Dragon Nation?
Even with Su Ping's extensive experience, he couldn't help but blink in disbelief at the old lady's words.
However, Olivia Connor seemed to have anticipated this, and she smiled, saying, "I don't know if Saint Dragon Legend has mentioned it to you, but the Connor family has a connection with the Lion Country's royalty."
Su Ping shook his head and then nodded, "I have a vague understanding. I only know that Erlis Connor once died in pursuit of the elixir of immortality, and the elixir ended up in the hands of the Lion Country's royalty. From this, it's not difficult to make a guess."
The old lady's expression returned to its usual indifference.
"My sister's achievements, my sister's harvest, were all plundered by that family. They are genuine thieves, and they think that giving the Connor family some nominal benefits is enough? For sixty years, I've been thinking of my sister's beauty at all times, and every time I would wake up from a dream in which my sister appeared."
It was evident that whenever this old lady mentioned this matter, her demeanor would turn exceptionally cold. The bond between her and that legendary female breeder, Erlis, was indeed deep.
However, Su Ping wasn't particularly interested in the legendary female breeder from decades ago.
What interested him was only the promise of the elixir of immortality.
After all, just now, Lily had told him about her needs.
Thinking of this, Su Ping nodded, "I can understand. If you're willing, I believe not only the Dragon Nation and Saint Dragon Legend, but I'll also do my best to help you! However, regarding the World Tree Leaf, I really can't guarantee it! To obtain one is already a matter of luck."
But the old lady shook her head, "Su Ping, this isn't what I'm considering. Our deal is clear; it's about the World Tree Leaf and the elixir of immortality, isn't it?"
Su Ping smiled helplessly and nodded, "Alright, I'll do my best."
The World Tree Leaf, if it's possible, if at that time there's truly no other way, and if Lily requires the other two types of materials that she mentioned but they can't be found, then he can only hand over the one World Tree Leaf he currently possesses.
The two of them didn't continue discussing the deal further, and Su Ping exhaled in relief. If what the old lady said was true, he indeed needed to prepare something. He thought for a moment and asked, "For that Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony, what are you planning to do?"
He was genuinely curious.
The old lady before him seemed to be only a Spirit Rank beastmaster.
Undoubtedly, the Lion Country must have legendary existence, and in such a situation, how could they obtain it?
The old lady shook her head, "Su Ping, there are too many secrets and unpredictable situations involved, and I can't tell you everything. However, you should be attending that ceremony, right?"
Su Ping was taken aback, furrowing his brows slightly. He hadn't given it much thought; it was just an empty title with no real use. Moreover, it was obvious to him that when the time came, the Lion Country's capital city would be in chaos.
The old lady seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "Although the title of a breeding master is just a name, at our level, no true breeder would really care about it. But don't you want to interact with other breeders, exchange breeding resources and experiences?"
"At that ceremony, there will be famous breeding masters from Blue Star, and even some from other beast empires, the Holy Spirit Beast Empire."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's heart stirred. Aside from Charles, he wanted to meet the other breeding masters.
This was something he could do.
"If possible, at that time, you can showcase your achievements. Every ceremony, aside from the title, there are still some rewards.
Moreover, if you can go and create some breeding achievements to attract attention, our actions will be much smoother."
Su Ping nodded and then smiled, "Ma'am, don't put your hopes on me. I have a sword hanging over my head. After some time, I might have to enter Heaven's Tomb, which is a gift from Charles."
He emphasized the last two words.
Upon hearing this, the old lady's emerald eyes narrowed, "I trust you, Su Ping. I know some things about Heaven's Tomb, and although I don't need to worry, I still want to remind you, be cautious of soul-related disturbances!"
Su Ping smiled, "Thank you, ma'am."
"Speaking of which, some time ago, Charles seemed to have had a call with our Queen. It's very likely about the Heaven's Tomb in the Western Continent."
The old lady shared another piece of intelligence.
Su Ping nodded.
However, this intelligence was a bit distant and had nothing to do with him for the time being.
To be honest, Su Ping was actually more interested in another matter:
"Ma'am, I'd like to ask why you are so eager to obtain a leaf from the World Tree?"
Even the Sacred Dragon Legend had limited knowledge of this matter. Otherwise, the situation in Yunnan-Tibet would have been different.
But the old lady in front of him was willing to give up the Elixir of Immortality in exchange for a leaf from the World Tree? It seemed she knew something. After all, this was just a leaf, not the entire World Tree.
Speaking of which, Su Ping added a playful remark:
"Could it be that the World Tree is truly a mythical resource?"
His words did not make the old lady laugh, but instead, she grew serious, thought for a moment, and said:
"Su Ping, the Connor family has the deepest understanding and richest history in plant-type breeding. My sister, Erlsin Connor, is one of the most outstanding breeders in the Connor family over the past thousand years.
Since this matter concerns you, I might as well tell you.
According to the research of the Connor family's generations and my sister, the World Tree is related to an ancient mythical existence on Blue Star! You should know that Blue Star had mythical creatures in the distant past, right?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows and nodded, and at the same time, something stirred in his heart. Was the thin window paper finally going to be pierced through today?
The old lady paused and said, "Blue Star had mythical creatures in ancient times, but even during that period, mythical creatures were not common. Among them, the mythical plant-type existence seemed to be one of the strongest among the various mythical beasts.
The World Tree is very likely to be the remains of that mythical plant-type existence!"
Su Ping pursed his lips:
"You and the Connor family mean that the World Tree is very likely to be that mythical plant-type existence?"
"It is and it isn't. It might be the shell of that mythical plant-type existence, you should understand! At the same time, the World Tree may also have inherited the most powerful rule-based legacy from that mythical existence."
The old lady explained.
And Su Ping, at this moment, finally understood.
So that's the case.
He thought for a moment and then asked another question:
"Ma'am, what was the name of that mythical plant-type existence?"
"The Spring God!"
The old lady answered without hesitation.
Su Ping mumbled the name to himself:
"Spring God..."
...
Several days passed in a flash.
Olivia Connor did not stay long at the Heart of All Spirits.
After two days, she returned to the Capital City, as the two Saint-level beings from the Lion Country were getting impatient.
However, during these two days, Su Ping and the elderly noblewoman from the Sunless Empire were inseparable.
The old lady was indeed a plant-type breeder worthy of the title of Grandmaster.
Previously, Su Ping's knowledge of plant-types was largely dependent on the help of the Golden Finger and the Mystical Demon, Bi Yao Chun Shen.
Now, with the arrival of the old lady, Su Ping's understanding of plant-types, as well as the various spirit lands, breeding techniques, and foundational theories, had greatly improved.
By the time the old lady left, Su Ping was almost reluctant to let her go.
However, during this time, Su Ping also obtained some promises and help from her.
Especially when it came to the carving of the Life Embryo, the old lady was extremely interested.
But in the end, the old lady from the Sunless Empire maintained her dignity and did not dare to ask for the carving technique.
However, the old lady changed her approach and used the price of two Saint-level plant-type resources to purchase a Life Embryo that Su Ping had carved, transforming a Monarch-level Life Embryo into two Saint-level resources.
In this world, there was no more profitable deal than this.
Su Ping thought that even if the old lady analyzed the carving technique, he was not worried. It was impossible for this technique to remain in his hands forever, and he would eventually have to use it externally. If he was afraid of being exposed because of this, wouldn't that be like choking on a gnat and swallowing a camel?
Moreover, Su Ping had a feeling.

If he personally taught her with his spirit, helping her learn, others would probably find it difficult to master, let alone research it based on a physical object.
If she truly figured it out, Su Ping would have no choice.
However, the old lady's generosity did not come without conditions. From then on, the Heart of All Spirits gained a new permanent resident.
Yes, it was none other than the granddaughter who had remained silent throughout, the future heiress to the Connor family's title, Ilo Connor.
Su Ping felt that the old lady leaving her granddaughter behind had a bit of an ancient 'hostage' feel to it.
However, the official explanation was that during his two and a half years of studying abroad, he had made further progress in analyzing extinct Plant-type Beast Pets.
Su Ping didn't refuse either, after all, this involved the cooperation between Dragon Nation and the Connor Family, and such a minor sacrifice was nothing.
Moreover, it was a free Plant-type Breeder labor force with Advanced Breeder skills, which was definitely a good thing.
During these two days, something quite interesting happened.
Li Shu and Shangguan Ye, who had been missing for over a week, finally returned from the city center of Linzhou.
One could say that Li Shu had returned home in glory.
Not only had he successfully completed the evolution breeding of the Japanese Black Pine, but he had also reached the peak of the Elite Beastmaster level, an impressive achievement for his age.
During this time, Shangguan Ye had genuinely dedicated himself to teaching Li Shu.
At the Breeder Association, Li Shu had even mastered the layout and breeding of Shangguan Ye's Spirit Land.
This alone was enough to show how swollen with pride Li Shu had become.
However, after returning, he hadn't even had a chance to show off for an hour before he witnessed the methods of Ilo Connor and the noble old lady, immediately deflating his ego.
He hadn't even had time to recover from the shock when he was forced to hold it in, making him feel even worse.
Especially with Zhao Qingqing and Guan Lili both present, it was even more unbearable.
However, Li Shu did indeed have a talent for Plant-type breeding.
Currently, the scope of the Forest Heart was expanding, and with the acquisition of the Life Embryo, the future Forest Heart, with its size and Beast Pet density, would undoubtedly rival the Cloud Heart, Soul Core, and other large regions where multiple Beast Pets coexist.
Su Ping was delighted with Li Shu's progress and improvement.
The earliest Breeder student to follow him was his former classmate and close friend from a decade ago.
It was indeed a wise decision to allow this guy to develop and improve in this area.
As for Shangguan Ye, there was no need to say more.
How much had Mu Yu admired Charles back then? Although the old lady might not have the same level of prestige as Charles, she was undoubtedly a Plant-type breeding master.
Such a title might not have a second holder for decades.
The only previous holder was the old lady's sister, decades ago, before the old lady had earned this title.
It was easy to imagine.
However, there was still a difference between Shangguan Ye and Mu Yu. Although excited, he didn't reach the level of worship.
Following them for these two days, he had gained quite a few pointers.
He had gained a deeper understanding of Spirit Lands and Plant-type Beast Pet breeding, and who knows, maybe he could make further progress in the future.
These past few days with the old lady had been fulfilling, but also truly exhausting.
Now that the old lady had left, Su Ping finally had some free time.
However, during this leisurely morning, after only two hours, Su Ping, sitting in the library, heard urgent knocks on the door.
Su Ping put down the book in his hand, "Come in."
Li Shu rushed in excitedly.
Seeing his posture, Su Ping put down the brush in his other hand, "What's the matter?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Didn't you ask Bai Cang to notify you? The Soul Core officially opened today, and many students from Jianghai University came, blocking the entire street. Bai Cang couldn't handle it, so he asked me to inform you."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping became spirited.
"Oh, it's opening today! Alright, I'll go take a look and see how the event planning is going."
Su Ping stood up. The opening of the Soul Core meant future income and a link in the industry chain. Although they had a trial run before, it didn't count. He naturally wanted to go and see for himself.
As Su Ping left, Li Shu was about to close the library's large door, but he caught a glimpse of Su Ping's book with his peripheral vision, as well as the closed, unfinished page, and the stack of character sheets next to it, dried up and clearly used for a long time.
His attention was mainly focused on the book.
Li Shu had originally thought that it would be a record of Su Ping's breeding experiences with a Beast Pet.
However, what he saw on the book's cover shocked him beyond belief:
"About How I Went to Find a Father for a Beast Pet and Ended Up Discovering a Mythical Rebirth Beast Pet"
Looking at the overly long title, Li Shu furrowed his brows.
Such a novel title, even after reading it ten times, he wouldn't give it a second glance.
Thinking of this, Li Shu shook his head. Why would Su Ping start writing novels in his free time?
And it was a novel that was obviously doomed to fail at first sight!
It seemed that when he had the time, he, as an old bookworm, would have to give Su Ping some guidance.
With this thought, Li Shu quietly left the library, following behind with a spring in his step, heading towards the Soul Core store across the street."
