Chapter 557: Dragon City's Treasure Trove, a Sight to Behold!
Chapter 557: Dragon City's Treasure Trove, a Sight to Behold!
Amidst the gazes of everyone present, Su Ping looked around.
The room wasn't particularly large, but it was well-equipped.
There were roughly twenty people in the room, some familiar and others unknown to Su Ping.
The hierarchy among Beastmasters was strict, resembling a pyramid.
Naturally, there would be fewer high-level Beastmasters at the top of this pyramid.
The Holy Spirit rank was an exceptionally challenging threshold to surpass.
Su Ping remained remarkably composed under the scrutiny of so many eyes, seemingly unaffected by the attention.
The situation in Emerald Dreamland was less than ideal.
Based on the conditions there, it would be challenging for the members of the Heavenly Tomb Legion to fully recover.
More importantly, even as one of the top spiritual and soul cultivation legacies in Dragon City, they couldn't find a particularly effective treatment.
This left Su Ping feeling disappointed.
However, now wasn't the time to dwell on these thoughts. He slightly nodded towards everyone's gaze and approached the left side of the Saint Dragon Legend.
At the same time, his gaze swept over each figure present.
The Saint Dragon Legend personally spoke, "Su Ping is here. Have a seat, and I'll introduce you to everyone."
After saying this, he proceeded to introduce each person.
There was no need to introduce those Su Ping already knew.
The ancestor of the Chen family, Combat Chen's grandfather, and the former Yuan Saint of the Imperial Capital Academy.
The Feather Saint, a specialist in healing and light-based life force.
Cold Lord, who had accompanied him.
Sage Sang, the former principal of the Demon Capital Academy.
Meng Yao, the new-generation Holy Spirit rank, Ray Saint, with whom Su Ping had a good relationship.
The president of the Mechanical Association, Raging Sage Wu, currently in charge of the Golden Heart investigation.
Poison Saint Liu Niang, who had been a comrade-in-arms of Su Ping's grandfather.
Cloud Saint Feng Caiyu, still exuding an otherworldly aura, but with a hint of fatigue.
Elder Feng and Zhu Hong were also among them.
Additionally, there were some Su Ping didn't recognize, although he had been informed about them by the Saint Dragon Legend during their journey.
"My old brother, who was once your grandfather's direct superior. You two can catch up later," the Saint Dragon Legend said, pointing to a tall, elderly man.
Su Ping nodded at the man, who returned the gesture without speaking.
The Saint Dragon Legend then introduced the head of the Iceplain Academy, Snow Saint, a woman with white hair that seemed to carry a chill:
"Snow Saint, she rarely participates in activities."
Snow Saint merely nodded slightly and didn't speak further.
Next, the Saint Dragon Legend pointed to two unfamiliar figures.
Both wore silver soft armor, one tall and the other short, with ordinary faces that shared a resemblance, perhaps brothers? Their soft armor stood out among the modern attire of the majority:
"Star Saint Ying Xing, leader of the Star Dragon Fleet, responsible for resource collection in the starry sky!"
So, they were the ones overseeing the starry sky! No wonder!
Su Ping had heard that the strategic plan for all Beastmaster nations on Blue Star was to control the entire starry sky.
It was a path they must take in the future.
Now, he had finally met the key figures behind it.
The other one must be his brother, then.
Indeed:
"This is Moon Saint Ying Yue. They are brothers. Moon Saint established the Dragon Kingdom's base and territory on the Moon, guarding the starry sky."
Moon Saint smiled at Su Ping, "We've heard about the remarkable genius from your family. Now, it seems the extent of your brilliance surpasses even our imagination!"
Su Ping smiled in response, "You're too kind."
Finally, the Saint Dragon Legend pointed to the last figure, aside from the cultivator, a remarkably thin man.
Su Ping had almost overlooked him, sitting at the back.
"This is Shadow Saint, he's a bit special. He occasionally serves as an instructor for special Beastmaster units and is the founding leader of the 'Dragon Group,' still carrying out special missions."
Looking at the figure that seemed to blend into the shadows, Su Ping understood.
Speaking of which, Dragon Two was a member of the Dragon Group.
He wondered if they knew each other.
Regarding the special mission mentioned by the Saint Dragon Legend,
Su Ping suspected it involved tasks that couldn't be brought to light.
After the introductions, Su Ping took his seat.
The Saint Dragon Legend pointed at Elder Feng and said, "I assume no introduction is needed for the Nurturer, right?"
Su Ping nodded and also acknowledged Elder Feng and Master Zhu Hong with a nod.
Everyone else followed suit, appearing calm and collected.
They all guessed that the Saint Dragon Legend, who had summoned them, surely had something important to discuss.
The Saint Dragon Legend didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly, "I intend to appoint Su Ping as the Vice President of the Beast Master Association's headquarters. What are your thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
However, not a single person spoke up.
Not a single hand was raised in opposition.
After so many years in power, if he had made a decision, it would not be changed.
Nor would it be swayed by others' opinions.
It was the Wolf Saint who spoke up, "What areas will Su Ping oversee as Vice President?"
Everyone's gaze turned back to the Saint Dragon Legend.
Without hesitation, he replied, "He has the authority to inquire and make changes in all matters!"
At that moment, everyone's expression changed.
Yet, the atmosphere became calm once again.
The Star Saint and Moon Saint exchanged a glance and then ignored the others, even closing their eyes as if meditating.
The rest of the group showed various reactions, some frowning and others looking surprised.
However, the Saint Dragon Legend at the head seemed oblivious and continued calmly, "Since there are no objections, let's proceed with a show of hands."
Everyone continued to look at each other, and then, to Su Ping's surprise, almost without hesitation, three people he had never interacted with before raised their hands.
They were the Shadow Saint, the Star Saint, and the Moon Saint.
Only then did Cold Lord, Liu Niang, Sage Sang, and Ray Saint slowly raise their hands.
The rest, including Cloud Saint, hesitated slightly but eventually raised their hands as well.
Just then, a voice suddenly spoke up, "Brother Xuan, isn't this a bit too soon?"
Clearly, only the Wolf Saint could address him so casually.
Upon hearing this, even Cold Lord looked at the speaker with confusion.
In Cold Lord's eyes, Su Ping was undoubtedly one of their own, especially from the Wolf Saint's lineage.
The Saint Dragon Legend glanced at him, "It's not too soon. Just three days ago, Su Ping became an Imperial Rank Beast Master at the age of twenty. Furthermore, his Origami Figure companion beast has merged with the remnants of a Death God's shed body.
Ordinary Saint Spirit Rank companion beasts are no match for that Origami Figure, and it still has immense room for growth in the near future!"
Strength!
As the saying goes, when it comes to nurturing, no one would object to the highest position. But in the advanced ranks of Beast Masters, strength is of utmost importance.
Without strength, no one will truly respect and follow, no matter how talented one is.
However, these words indeed surprised everyone present.
An Imperial Rank at the age of twenty is rare but not unheard of.
But to say that a newly promoted Beast Master's companion beast can directly rival a Saint Spirit Rank is truly unprecedented.
With these words, not only did everyone become aware of Su Ping's advancement, but more importantly, they also understood the Saint Dragon Legend's attitude.
One by one, they raised their hands.
Even the most reluctant-looking Yuan Saint from the Chen family had no choice but to extend his hand.
"Good, Su Ping is still young and will need your guidance at times. He also told me that he won't be staying in the Imperial Capital for now and will mainly be in Xilang Province in the future!"
The Saint Dragon Legend glanced at Su Ping, who quickly stood up, "In the future, please continue to guide me, seniors."
Whether they liked it or not, everyone managed a faint smile.
"Alright, I called you back this time to show you Su Ping's significant achievement from the recent past! There was no time before, but this time..."
The Saint Dragon Legend was referring to the Dragon Bamboo.
This item's benefits for Dragon Companions are unimaginable.
Everyone followed Su Ping, and this was the first time he systematically explained it,
By the time he finished, the sky outside had gradually darkened.
"Alright, you all have your own tasks. Su Ping, I know what you're thinking. I'll have Shadow take you to the Dragon City Treasury. That Dragon Slaying Sword is there, and you can also pick two more items.
Consider this a personal bonus reward for your recent pacification of the Heavenly Tomb!"
Su Ping's eyes lit up with joy.
The Saint Dragon Legend didn't seem to be in a hurry and instead turned to Wolf Saint.
"Old Wolf, wait a moment."
On the vast Dragon Ascension Terrace, only Wolf Saint and the Saint Dragon Legend remained.
Wolf Saint, as if he had anticipated this, calmly looked at his companion.
"What's the matter? Do you have something against Su Ping, or are you dissatisfied with him?"
The elder shook his head. "This kid has the highest talent I've ever seen, even surpassing you back then. He's the grandson of Su Zhongguang's little rabbit, how could I possibly be dissatisfied?"
"So, you think it's too soon?"
The elder nodded. "Once it's confirmed, no matter what, the news will leak out, and by then..."
"Rest assured, if you can't handle this little disturbance, how can you stand alongside the Dragon Nation in the future? My choice won't be wrong!"
The man spoke with utmost confidence, causing the elder to nod.
"Fine, but is that matter about the World Tree from before really related to this kid?"
"Of course, why?"
"The root of the wolf pack's destruction lies within that small world of the World Tree. That small world is extremely dangerous.
The three western provinces, Xilang, Ximo, and Xihai, are all connected to that small world's ripples and fluctuations.
I suspect...the entrance to that small world might have reappeared in the Great Prairie."
"It doesn't matter. If it appears, it appears. If it merges, it merges. By then, you should focus on the entrance."
"It's not as easy to talk to as the Divine Wood. Its strength is even stronger than the Divine Wood. In any case, if there's any situation, let me know as soon as possible."
"Alright!"
Su Ping was unaware of their casual conversation, nor did he want to know.
At this moment, he had only one thought: to take all these things home!
A treasure trove that exists as a small space, what a concept!
The highest-level treasure trove in Dragon City, belonging to the Saint Dragon Legend!
All the precious treasures outside seemed insignificant here, casually placed aside.
Among them was the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Earlier, Su Ping had felt a bit stingy.
Besides the Dragon Slaying Sword, taking only two items seemed a bit lacking.
But now, after seeing these treasures, he understood.
There were plenty!
Even the legendary resources of the highest order, like the Chaos Qi, were present.
Such as the legendary resource of the ice system, Frost Winter Snow.
The legendary resource of the gold system, Misty Gold.
...
Amidst the chaos, there were indeed several special resources and treasures, and countless Saint Spirit Rank resources.
The Dragon Nation's foundation truly exceeded his imagination.
Because of this, he hesitated.
In fact, no one wouldn't want these treasures.
Not to mention one particular item that almost made him decide on the spot! It left a deep impression on him.
This thing, he might need in the future! And it was related to his contracted companion beast.
The Japanese Yew, a legendary fire-type resource.
In the past, when the Little Flame consumed the Fire Sovereign's clone, this memory remained.
It was this memory that activated the 'Southern Brightening Fire' cultivation in the All Spirit Compilation.
This also proved that if the Little Flame wanted to perfectly cultivate and replicate the 'Southern Brightening Fire' in the future, this Japanese Yew would be indispensable!
But Su Ping still didn't speak.
He wasn't sure if the Little Flame would truly evolve into the Vermilion Bird or if it would master the Southern Brightening Fire.
Currently, the cultivation of the Southern Brightening Fire was still in its initial stages.
He didn't want to waste such an opportunity.
So, after a long detour, Su Ping finally spoke with difficulty, "Elder Shadow, can you please tell the Saint Dragon that I'll keep these things for now and discuss using them later?"
The Elder's cold expression didn't change, but he nodded. "Good, since that's the case, you can come back after you've made your choice."
Su Ping was taken aback. "You don't need to tell the Saint Dragon?"
The Elder shook his head.
"The Saint Dragon said you'll make your choice later. This visit is just to broaden your horizons."
Su Ping's mouth twitched.
Holding the Dragon Slaying Sword, still sheathed, he turned and left.
He couldn't bear to stay in Dragon City, the Imperial Capital, for even a second.
It was too hurtful.
Time to go home!
