Chapter 557: The Treasure Trove of Dragon City! A Bountiful Collection!
Chapter 557: The Treasure Trove of Dragon City! A Bountiful Collection!
Amidst the gazes of everyone present, Su Ping looked ahead.
The room wasn't particularly large, but it was well-equipped.
There were roughly twenty people in the room, some familiar faces and some strangers.
The beast tamers were organized in a strict hierarchy, resembling a pyramid.
Naturally, the higher-ranked beast tamers at the pinnacle were fewer in number.
The Holy Spirit Rank, in particular, was an exceptionally challenging threshold to surpass.
Su Ping remained unfazed by the multitude of eyes upon him, not showing the slightest concern.
The situation in Emerald Dreamland was less than ideal.
Based on the information from there, Su Ping responded, "It's quite difficult for the members of the Heavenly Tomb Legion to fully recover."
Moreover, the most crucial issue was that even as a place renowned for its spiritual and soul cultivation, there seemed to be no exceptionally effective treatment available.
This left Su Ping feeling disheartened.
However, now wasn't the time for such thoughts. He smiled slightly, meeting everyone's gaze, and approached Saint Dragon Legend, stopping beside him.
At the same time, his eyes landed on a familiar figure.
Saint Dragon Legend spoke, "Su Ping is here. Have a seat, and I'll introduce you to everyone."
After saying this, he proceeded to introduce them.
Su Ping already knew those he was familiar with.
The elder of the Chen family, Chen Zhan's grandfather, the previous Yuan Saint of the Imperial Academy.
The Feathered Saint, a master of the Light and Life elements, specializing in healing.
Cold Sir, who had accompanied them.
Sage Sang, the former principal of the Magic Academy.
Meng Yao, the new-generation Holy Spirit Rank, a friend of Su Ping's grandfather.
Wu Kuang, the president of the Mechanical Association, currently in charge of investigating the Golden Heart.
Poison Saint Liu Niang, a fellow comrade of Su Ping's grandfather.
Cloud Saint Feng Caiyu, still exuding an otherworldly aura but with a hint of fatigue.
Old Wind and Zhu Hong were also among them.
Additionally, there were a few others Su Ping didn't recognize.
Of course, it was just that he hadn't met them before. On their way here, Saint Dragon Legend had already informed Su Ping about these individuals.
Now, as he introduced them, Su Ping understood who they were.
"Old Wolf! Your grandfather's direct superior, you two can get to know each other better later."
Su Ping looked at the tall, elderly man and nodded, and the latter returned the nod without saying a word.
Saint Dragon Legend turned to a woman with white hair and an aura of cold:
"The principal of the Icefield Academy, Snow Saint, Xue, doesn't usually participate in activities."
The Snow Saint merely nodded slightly and didn't speak again.
Then, he pointed to two unfamiliar figures.
Both were clad in silver soft armor, one tall and the other short, with ordinary features but a hint of resemblance, perhaps brothers? Their soft armor was different from the modern attire of most others:
"The leader of the Star Dragon Fleet, Star Saint: Ying Xing! They are responsible for resource collection and exploration in the starry sky!"
An existence above the starry sky? No wonder!
Su Ping had heard before that the entire starry sky was the strategic layout for all beast tamers on Blue Planet.
It was the inevitable path for the future.
Now, he had finally met the key figures.
So, the other one was...?
Indeed:
"This is Moon Saint: Ying Yue! They are brothers, and Ying Yue has established the Dragon Kingdom's base and territory on the Moon, guarding the starry sky!"
Compared to the previous Saints, Moon Saint smiled at Su Ping, "I've heard about your incredible genius, and now it seems to exceed our initial imagination!"
Su Ping smiled, "You flatter me."
Finally, Saint Dragon Legend pointed to the last figure, a slender man who had been sitting at the back.
He was somewhat unique, occasionally serving as an instructor for special beast taming forces, and he was the first leader of the special beast taming unit 'Dragon Group'.
Looking at the man who seemed to blend into the shadows, Su Ping understood.
Speaking of which, Long Er was part of the Dragon Group.
Wondering if Su Ping knew this man.
As for the so-called special task mentioned by Saint Dragon Legend.
Su Ping guessed that it involved some covert operations.
After the introductions, Su Ping took a seat.
Lord Saint Dragon pointed towards Old Wind and said, "I presume you already know about the Beast Trainer?"
Su Ping nodded, and Old Wind, along with Zhu Hong, also nodded in agreement.
Everyone present followed suit, standing at attention.
They all guessed that the reason for their gathering was for the Saint Dragon Lord to announce something important.
Lord 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 Taming Association's headquarters. What are your thoughts on this?"
With these words, everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.
Not a single person spoke up in objection.
After all, this Lord had been in a position of power for many years, and once he made a decision, he rarely changed his mind.
He wouldn't alter his course due to the will of others.
It was Lord Wolf Sage who spoke up, "What areas will Vice President Su Ping oversee?"
Everyone's gaze turned back to Lord Saint Dragon Legend.
The latter didn't hesitate for a moment, "He will have the authority to oversee all matters and make necessary changes!"
At that moment, everyone's expression changed.
However, the atmosphere calmed down once more.
The Star Sage and Moon Sage exchanged a glance, then closed their eyes, seemingly meditating.
The rest of the group, including Cloud Sage, hesitated but eventually raised their hands.
Just then, a voice suddenly spoke up, "Big Brother Xuan, isn't this a bit too soon?"
Clearly, only Lord Wolf Sage could address him so casually.
With these words, even Cold Sir looked at him with curiosity.
In Cold Sir's eyes, Su Ping was undoubtedly one of their own.
Moreover, he was part of Lord Wolf Sage's lineage.
Lord Saint Dragon Legend glanced at him, "It's not too soon. Su Ping, at the age of twenty, has just advanced to the Emperor Rank as a Beast Tamer! Simultaneously, his Origami Beast Companion has merged with the remnants of the Death God's body."
"Ordinary Holy Spirit Rank Beast Companions are no longer a match for his Origami Beast. Furthermore, in the coming days, it will experience significant growth in its spatial abilities!"
"Strength!"
As the saying goes, if it's a Beast Trainer, no matter how high the position, no one would object. But when it comes to the upper echelons of Beast Taming, strength is of utmost importance.
Without strength, no one will truly submit, no matter how talented.
However, these words indeed shocked everyone present.
An Emperor Rank at the age of twenty, while not unheard of in history, is still rare.
But to say that upon advancement, his Beast Companion could directly rival a Holy Spirit Rank—this was truly unprecedented.
With these words, not only did everyone understand Su Ping's growth, but more importantly, they witnessed the attitude of Lord Saint Dragon Legend.

One by one, hands were raised.
Even the seemingly reluctant Yuan Sage of the Chen family had no choice but to raise his hand.
"Very well, Su Ping is still young, and he will need your guidance at times. Moreover, he told me that he won't be staying in the capital for now and will primarily be based in Jianghai," Lord Saint Dragon Legend said, looking at Su Ping.
Su Ping quickly stood up, "In the future, please continue to guide me, seniors."
Whether they liked it or not, everyone managed a faint smile.
"Alright, this time, I wanted you to witness Su Ping's remarkable progress from the last time. Previously, we didn't have much time, but this time..."
Lord Saint Dragon Legend was talking about the Dragon Bamboo.
This item provides unimaginable assistance to Dragon Companions.
Everyone followed Su Ping, and for the first time, they received a comprehensive explanation.
After they finished, the sky outside gradually darkened.
"Alright, you all can get back to your business. Su Ping, I know what you have in mind. I'll have Shadow take you to the Dragon City's treasury, where the Dragon Slaying Sword is kept. You can choose a couple of items that catch your eye as a personal reward for your efforts in pacifying 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 the Wolf Sage.
"Old Wolf, you wait a moment."
On the vast Ascension Terrace, only the Wolf Sage and the Saint Dragon Legend remained.
The Wolf Sage seemed to have anticipated this and calmly looked at his counterpart.
"What's the matter? Do you have any objections or dissatisfaction with Su Ping?"
The elder shook his head.
"This kid has the highest talent I've ever seen. He's even more exceptional than you were back then. He's the grandson of that little bunny, Su Zhong. How could I possibly be dissatisfied?"
"So, do you think it's too early?"
The elder nodded. "Once it's established, no matter what, the news will leak out, and when that happens..."
"Rest assured. If we can't handle this little storm, how can we stand alongside the Dragon Nation in the coming era? The person I choose will not be wrong!"
The man spoke with utmost confidence, causing the elder to nod in agreement.
"Fine, but about that World Tree you mentioned last time, is it really related to Su Ping?"
"Of course. Why do you ask?"
"The root of the wolves' annihilation lies within it. That World Tree's small world is filled with dangers.
The three provinces in the west—Xiliang Province, Ximo Province, and Xihai Province—are connected, and all of them experience ripples from that small world.
I suspect... the entrance to that small world is about to appear again!"
The elder spoke with concern.
"No worries. If it appears, it appears. If it merges, it merges. You just need to keep an eye on things. Over at the Great Prairie, that old wolf will probably get crazier as he ages. He might not be as easy to deal with as the Ancient Tree.
His strength is even greater than that of the Ancient Tree. In short, if anything happens, just let me know."
"Alright!"
Su Ping was unaware of their casual conversation, and he didn't want to know.
At this moment, he had only one thought: to take all these treasures home!
A treasure trove that exists in its own small space—what a concept!
This was the highest-level treasure trove in Dragon City, belonging to the Saint Dragon Legend himself!
All the precious artifacts and treasures from the outside world seemed insignificant here, casually placed aside.
Among them was the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Previously, Su Ping had felt that the Saint Dragon Legend was a bit stingy.
Aside from the Dragon Slaying Sword, he had only taken two other items. Wasn't that a bit too little?
But now, after seeing all these treasures, he understood.
It wasn't too little!
Here, he even found legendary-level resources, like the Chaos Qi, a higher-tier legendary resource compared to the Yin-Yang Qi.
Or the Ice Frost Winter Snow, one of the legendary-level resources of the Ice attribute.
Or the Misty Golden Flow, a legendary-level resource of the Gold attribute.
...
Amidst the chaos, there were indeed numerous legendary-level resources, special treasures, and countless invaluable items.
The Dragon Nation's heritage truly exceeded his imagination.
And because of this, he hesitated.
In fact, no one would refuse these treasures.
Putting aside everything else, there was one item that almost made him want to claim it on the spot! This item left a deep impression on him, and he might need it in the future, especially for his contracted beast.
The Fusang Branch, a legendary-level Fire attribute resource.
Previously, when the Little Flame consumed the avatar of the Flame Lord, he observed this scene in his memory.
It was this memory that activated the 'Nanming Lihuo' cultivation in the All Spirit Compendium.
This also proved that in the future, if the Little Flame wanted to perfectly cultivate and replicate the 'Nanming Lihuo,' this Fusang Branch would be an indispensable item!
However, Su Ping still didn't speak up.
He wasn't sure if the Little Flame would truly evolve into a Vermilion Bird or if it needed to master the Nanming Lihuo.
Currently, the cultivation of Nanming Lihuo was still in its early stages.
He didn't want to waste such an opportunity.
So, after a long detour, Su Ping finally spoke with great difficulty to the Shadow Saint:
"Senior Shadow Saint, could you please tell Saint Dragon that I'd like to keep these treasures for now and discuss using them later?"
The Shadow Saint's cold and indifferent face showed no exception, and he nodded.
"Okay, if that's the case, it's not too late for you to make your selection later."
Su Ping was taken aback. "You don't need to inform Saint Dragon?"
The Shadow Saint shook his head.
"The Saint Dragon said that you will definitely wait to make your choice later. This visit is just to let you see and broaden your horizons."
Su Ping's mouth twitched.
Holding the Dragon Slaying Sword, still sheathed, he turned and left.
He couldn't stay in Dragon City or the Imperial Capital for another second.
It was too heartbreaking.
Time to go home!
