Chapter 538: Two Legends! The Sweet Potato Forge Gathering!

The howling snow and cold wind blew throughout the night and into the next day, showing no signs of stopping.

Even by the next evening, it continued without any sign of letting up.

Su Ping squatted in front of a kang connected to a large furnace, the orange-yellow flames emitting warmth amidst the winter chill.

Beside him, Qian Yi, Ya Ya, Xiao Qing, and Lao Sha sat around the furnace, seemingly roasting with Su Ping.

At the same time, a few iron chopsticks were placed in front of him, each holding a sweet potato that was roasting over the fire.

The room filled with a rustic yet enticing warmth and aroma.

Outside this room, the Beastmasters of the Tomb Heaven Legion were still training, making final preparations for their entry tomorrow.

"Are they done?" Su Ping asked impatiently.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

The small flames within the furnace, acting as assistants and temperature controllers, let out a series of dissatisfied sounds, seemingly complaining about being the only ones responsible for roasting while everyone else waited to eat.

However, the small flames diligently continued their task.

After all, at this moment, even as an incarnation of the Flame Sovereign, the little flame's realm was the lowest among the group, and its strength was similarly limited.

Qian Yi remained unchanged, having reached the species limit, and could only continue to improve after completing evolution, currently at the fifth rank of the Monarch rank.

As for the little crow, Ya Ya, its previous evolution had raised the overall limit of the Heart of All Spirits, and it had now reached the peak of the tenth rank of the Monarch rank, making it the highest-ranked among them, even though it wasn't Su Ping's contracted beast.

Xiao Qing's realm, on the other hand, remained the same as her master, Su Ping, at the eighth rank of the Monarch rank.

As for Lao Sha, he had also made a small breakthrough recently, joining Xiao Qing at the eighth rank of the Monarch rank.

Only the little flame had not found any other Flame Sovereign incarnations during this time, and its growth rate wasn't particularly fast, currently at the third rank of the Monarch rank.

Additionally, being the most suitable for the task, roasting sweet potatoes was naturally its responsibility.

After receiving the little flame's response, Su Ping stood up and, along with the other four contracted beasts, reached out to grab the five sweet potatoes.

Unfortunately, Su Ping's plan didn't go as expected. It wasn't an issue of cooking time, but of quantity. Just as he took a bite, a voice sounded from the door.

"Meow, meow, meow!"

"Su Ping, you scoundrel, eating delicious food and not thinking of me, meow?"

A familiar voice rang out, and a treasure cat pushed open the door and walked in.

Following it was a man who looked extremely ordinary.

Su Ping stood up, and the man waved his hand, saying, "Sit."

After speaking, the man, who stood at the pinnacle of the Dragon Kingdom and even Bluesphere, rubbed his hands together, exuding a down-to-earth aura like a typical northwesterner. He walked directly to the furnace and sat down cross-legged.

Even the all-white treasure cat jumped onto the furnace, its pink nose sniffing the roasted sweet potato in Su Ping's hand, and it nodded in satisfaction.

Su Ping was speechless and glanced at the others, quickly deciding on Qian Yi:

"Qian Yi, give him a piece."

"Waaah!"

Qian Yi pouted in dissatisfaction but still tore off a piece of the roasted sweet potato and handed it to the treasure cat, who wasn't afraid of the furnace's heat and sat directly on the stove, its swaying white tail even dangling into the fire.

Unfortunately, Su Ping's little plan didn't succeed, as the man beside him reached out, broke off half of the sweet potato in Su Ping's hand, and took a big bite.

"Are you ready?" the man asked after taking a bite.

Su Ping nodded. "Yeah."

"That's good. Tomorrow, I'll personally send you to the Heavenly Tomb with Little White. He'll be waiting at the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb for you, so you don't need to worry about safety. If it's convenient, you can also take care of those undead along the way."

For a moment, the room fell silent, and only the crackling of firewood in the furnace could be heard.

After a while, Su Ping spoke up:

"Do you believe I can get out? What if I can't, will Little White keep waiting?"

The man didn't give a clear answer:

"If you really can't get out, just have Little White come and get you. If that doesn't work, just blow up that grave circle. After all, it's not even fully resurrected yet, right?"

Su Ping raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"You know something about it too?"

"I found the information first, and besides, what kind of methods does that despicable Charles have that even I couldn't handle before?"

The man continued nonchalantly:

"You don't need to worry. That grave circle only allows small creatures like you to enter, and if someone forcefully enters, it will self-destruct. Even if it were my contracted beast, I wouldn't want it. What's there to worry about with such a useless thing?"

"You know what, Su Ping blinked and nodded in agreement after some contemplation, "That's actually quite reasonable."

The man smiled, a rare sight as Su Ping had rarely seen him do so in their brief interactions. The flickering candlelight cast a reddish glow on his face.

"Hmm... You're a bit silly, stop laughing."

Ignoring Su Ping's gaze, the man continued to click his tongue, "Well, speaking of which, your experiences are truly legendary. How old are you? You're only at the Monarch Rank, and yet you've already revived two of those things. Who knows, in the future, you might even encounter a third one. Tsk, tsk..."

"A third one?" Su Ping was taken aback.

"Yeah, remember what I told you about that thing in the Water Sovereign's possession? It's quite capable. The Endless Sea hasn't been peaceful lately. In the future, it might have its chance."

The man didn't elaborate, but Su Ping understood. Was he talking about the Mermaid Princess who had not been seen with the Water Sovereign recently?

Su Ping thought for a moment and nodded, "Now that you mention it, my life has been quite legendary. When I have time after returning, I should write my own autobiography!"

The man was taken aback and turned to look at him, "You have this hobby?"

Su Ping nodded, "As you said, with such achievements, who wouldn't want their name to be remembered for generations?"

"Hey, even without writing an autobiography, your name will be remembered. So, what title do you plan to give your book? 'My Autobiography' or 'My Life'? How about something less grand?"

The man was curious.

Su Ping nodded, "It's a bit cliche, but with our legendary experiences and those mediocre creatures, we should set ourselves apart.

How about 'The Tale of My Crown Years and How I Became a World-Class Breeder and My Encounters with Two Mythical Beasts'?"

The man fell silent, then thought for a moment, "Can your book cover fit all those words? And if you write your autobiography with that title, what will you put inside?"

"Why not? Who says a book cover can't have a long title? And why can't the content be written? My life as a legendary Beastmaster is a grand story in itself, with some embellishment, it could become an epic masterpiece spanning tens of thousands of words!" Su Ping's frustration turned to anger.

The man sucked on his tooth, seemingly envisioning a scene, and couldn't help but shake his head in amusement.

Su Ping was speechless, "Then you help me come up with a name?"

The man held a half-roasted sweet potato in his hand and sat by the fire, deep in thought.

After some time, he spoke, "How about 'Life and Death Contract'?"

Su Ping looked at the man with disdain, this was the first time he doubted his idol's abilities, "That doesn't sound like an autobiography. Moreover, in today's world, such a title on a literary website would struggle to even get signed!"

The man scratched his head, "Really? You don't understand, this is the era of eyeballs, it's not like the old ways." Su Ping acted like an experienced mentor.

The five Contracted Beasts in the room watched as the man and Su Ping, big and small, passionately discussed the autobiography's title, creating a somewhat contrasting scene.

However, in the end, their discussion yielded no fruitful results.

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

As Su Ping and the man discussed whether the autobiography should be titled 'My Legendary Breeder Life' or 'Breeder Life', Su Ping suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, is there any limit to what you can say?"

Indeed, the man had been talking non-stop, yet the usual fluctuations of his eccentric speech had not occurred.

The man raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of pride that Su Ping had never seen before, "My realm has improved slightly, and I can now fully control the rules of mental power. No more aftereffects!"

Hearing this, Su Ping's eyes narrowed, "So powerful?"

The man waved his hand modestly, "It's not much, compared to Master Su's legendary life, it's nothing.

I merely broke the record for Beastmaster breakthroughs, and rumors spread that I'm the strongest human Beastmaster in history.

I have three Mythical Beasts and four Companion Beasts at the Sage level, and I was once a Wild Beast Breeder. It's not much, really."

Su Ping nodded, "That's about right, so you still need to work harder."

The man nodded humbly, "Yes, yes, yes, in the future, I'll learn more from Master Su."

"Nonetheless, you're also quite legendary, so our conversation, two legendary figures, should be accompanied by this?" Su Ping pointed to the sweet potato in his hand.

The man shook his head, "This contrasting scene is more interesting."

"You can dedicate a section in your autobiography to this conversation and call it 'Sweet Potato Forge Gathering'!"

Su Ping laughed heartily. Then, with curiosity, he asked, "Do you have the confidence to go even further?"

The man, facing the blazing furnace, narrowed his eyes.

"Who can say they have the confidence for such a thing? But I want to give it a try. Regardless, it's necessary to advance the Saint Dragon further."

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. "Do you have a method?"

The man looked at Su Ping. "It's just a guess, and I have you to thank for this! After encountering the Dragon Bamboo, I finally climbed the twelfth step of the Dragon Gate!"

The twelfth step of the Dragon Gate? Su Ping thought of the most unique place in Dragon City.

"Throughout history, no Beastmaster has ever made it there, and no dragon has ever reached that point. No one has ever opened the Dragon Gate to see what's inside.

But I want to take a look and see if there's an opportunity I seek."

The man smiled and spoke.

"When do you plan to set off?"

Su Ping asked.

The man shook his head. "I don't know, but the sooner, the better! However, I can't enter before next year's Lifetime Achievement Award for Breeders. It's related to Connor's agreement and the aftermath's impact on the Lion Kingdom."

Su Ping frowned.

"Such a thing seems to have little significance?"

"The Connor family's foundation is still there. Although this may sour relations with the Lion Kingdom, I still have some grasp of the situation. Over the years, the neighboring Light Kingdom has increasingly threatened the Lion Kingdom's status, and the situation between them has become much more severe.

Besides, who doesn't want the Elixir of Immortality?"

The man smiled and then looked at Su Ping.

"So, after we're done with the Heavenly Tomb, hurry up and come out. Don't waste time. By the time the Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony comes, if you don't show up, the world's breeders will be disappointed. Our Dragon Kingdom doesn't have a suitable breeder to send."

Hearing the man's words, Su Ping smiled. "Rest assured."

"I'm not worried. Speaking of which, at the awards ceremony, do you plan to announce your breeding results? Although it's not necessary to announce anything at the ceremony, some master breeders are enthusiastic about showcasing their breeding results under the attention of the world's breeders, and at the same time, it adds weight to the awards."

The man asked curiously.

Su Ping nodded.

"Didn't Ms. Connor say that she wanted me to prepare so that her actions wouldn't attract too much attention?"

The man chuckled. "You're too young. If such actions are influenced by uncertain factors, how could Olivia and the Connor family have lasted until now, and even maintained their reputation in the Lion Kingdom?

That old lady just wanted to see if you had any new results. She wanted to take a look herself. Maybe when she comes to the Dragon Kingdom, she'll want to join in."

Su Ping was speechless.

"Alright, what breeding results are you planning to announce? Is it the skill you bred on that strange crow of yours?"

The man lifted his chin and looked at Ya Ya, who was pecking at a sweet potato beside him.

Su Ping shook his head and then, surprisingly, took out a small booklet from his Beast Taming Space and threw it to the man. "This is it."

The man took a glance and revealed a 'just as I thought' expression.

"External Incarnation? Wow, you actually achieved this in such a short time, and according to my observation, it's almost complete on this pet beast of yours, right?"

Su Ping smiled. "Your insight is remarkable."

The man flipped through Su Ping's breeding diary.

At first glance, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Your handwriting... yikes..."

The man didn't continue his criticism but was soon attracted by the content, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Wow, through the evolution process to complete skill breeding steps?

Multifaceted evolutionary breeding experiment hypothesis? How did you come up with these breeding ideas and methods? Who taught you this?"

Suddenly, the man lifted his head and looked at Su Ping, then blurted out.

"Hey... I know what to call your autobiography."

Su Ping blinked, wondering why the topic had shifted again.

The man smiled slightly. "Let's just call it 'Who Taught You to Breed Beasts Like This'!"

Su Ping pouted but then smiled and picked up a stick to poke at the furnace fire.

Sparks flew, and the crackling sound from the furnace lit up the long night.
