Chapter 574: Dream Aurora Butterfly! Farewell to the Sea Turtle of the Ocean!
Chapter 574: Dream Aurora Butterfly! Farewell to the Sea Turtle of the Ocean!
Ah, humans.
Sometimes, it's good to get out and explore.
On many occasions, not only can you broaden your horizons, but you might also gain some unexpected benefits.
Take this time, for instance.
Aside from the gains made by the little flame, Su Ping's visit to the Thousand Islands Country and his experience at the auction greatly broadened his horizons.
Not to mention the two Saint Spirit Resources he acquired almost without spending a dime.
Previously, Qin Xiaojie's mutated ancient tree of life had indeed been weighing on Su Ping's mind.
So, upon returning to the Ten Thousand Souls Heart, Su Ping's mood was rather cheerful.
However, within half a day of his return, he realized that his initial estimate had been a bit optimistic.
The Sea King Naga's arm still showed no signs of forming a new life form.
In other words, the estimated three-day timeframe needed to be extended further.
Nevertheless, Su Ping understood that creating a brand new type of pet, or even a new life form, was not something to be rushed.
He spent half a day inspecting the situation and then, once again, added some life and soul resources to the pool where the Sea King's arm was sealed before leaving.
Although the estimate for the Sea King's arm was off, the Feather Saint had come through powerfully.
Not only did he deliver the Radiant Dragon Essence, but he sent an entire small bottle, containing ten drops.
This was enough for Su Ping to return to the Ten Thousand Souls Heart without any unexpected deviations.
However, Su Ping felt that the Rainbow Dragon, being a product of the Four Seas Dragon Palace's cultivation method in Dragon City, should be witnessed by the Ray Saint, the person who provided the method.
But upon returning to the Ten Thousand Souls Heart, he couldn't find any trace of Meng Yao.
"Old Zhu, where's the Ray Saint?" Su Ping asked Zhu Hong directly.
Su Ping immediately located Zhu Hong, who was still conducting experiments.
Zhu Hong glanced at the bustling Su Ping, "Huh? You're back? What have you been up to these days? Meng Yao said he had some business in the East Sea a few days ago and has been busy. He should be back in a few days."
Su Ping blinked.
However, it was unnecessary to explain the whereabouts of a Saint Spirit Beastmaster to the others present.
He shook his head, "Never mind."
"What? Do you need something from him?" Zhu Hong asked curiously.
"Yeah, the Feather Saint sent the Radiant Dragon Essence, and I thought I'd go ahead and evolve the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly first!"
"You already have an idea for the Rainbow Dragon's evolution?" Zhu Hong was surprised.
Su Ping nodded, "Yeah, it's simple."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead!"
Zhu Hong waved his hand, slightly embarrassed, "After all, it's an ultimate-tier transcendent skill, not something that can be easily..."
Then, the old master of elemental cultivation, feeling somewhat awkward, turned to Su Ping:
"This kind of ultimate-tier skill, relying solely on the residual knowledge of the Ocean Spirit Whale, is far from sufficient.
The difficulty of cultivating and evolving a pet, let alone an ultimate-tier transcendent skill that will leave its mark in history, is beyond question."
Seeing the slightly embarrassed Zhu Master, Su Ping also nodded:
"That's true. Let's go. I estimate that after this evolution, the Rainbow Dragon will be just one step away."
Zhu Hong, who had been brimming with anger moments ago, suddenly lost his temper and nodded, "Alright, let's go and see..."
He could tell anyone about the difficulty of cultivating pets, making them understand how challenging it is, especially for an ultimate-tier transcendent skill.
But in front of this young man, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
At the center of the Water Heart, the surrounding fences and solitary islands marked this location as the most unique and restricted area within the Water Heart, except for Su Ping and a few familiar faces who came to bathe in the special water spirit land: the Dragon-Raising Pool.
"Hush, hush, hush..."
A strange call came from Su Ping's mouth.
The bug summoning technique could also be used on the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly at this moment.
As expected, a beam of light emerged from the water, enveloping the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly bathed in rainbow light, and it flew out of the water, landing in Su Ping's palm.
This creature seemed transparent, with rainbow light swirling within, incredibly beautiful.
[Rainbow Crystal Butterfly - Wild, Age: 1 year, 10 months, 11 days]
[Attributes: Light, Water]
[Current Realm: Elite Eight]
[Race Potential: Elite Ten]
[Skills: Dream Nest (Mastery), Rainbow Aurora (Proficiency), Water Beast Control (Proficiency), Dragon Energy (Proficiency)]
In just half a year, the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly had made remarkable progress in the Dragon-Raising Pool.
Moreover, the core of the Water Heart was this Rainbow Crystal Butterfly, and because of this little creature, the Water Heart was filled with countless water-type fierce beasts, making it invaluable to Su Ping.
At the Elite Eight level, with Dragon Energy at Proficiency, all evolution conditions were fully met.
Most importantly, the evolution process itself was not that difficult.
Su Ping's exploration of pet elementalization had revealed the key to evolution.
Under severe injury, the breeding would result in an elementalized pet after evolution.
The challenge lies in handling this critical juncture with precision.
However, this challenge was not a challenge for Su Ping at all.
This was why, after the Radiant Dragon Essence was delivered, he could declare that the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly's evolution was already complete.
The mental shock and pressure quickly caused the originally vibrant Rainbow Crystal Butterfly to suddenly lose its vitality.
The severe injury made the Rainbow Butterfly's life force extremely weak at this moment.
Zhu Hong, who already knew what this meant, looked at Su Ping in surprise:
"Does this evolution of the Rainbow Dragon require elementalization?"
Obviously, this was another change beyond Zhu Hong's imagination.
Elementalization itself was not unusual.
However, there was a law that applied to most dragon pets.
Except for those who had ascended to the Holy Spirit Rank, most dragons before that were still flesh and blood.
Only the Fire Dragon, evolved from the Red Dragon, would transform from a flesh and blood body into a pure elemental body.
Although not all dragon species were like this.
But this Rainbow Dragon, named after the elements of water and light, was expected to follow the same path.
Zhu Hong had initially thought it would become a mutated dragon species combining a Silver Dragon and a Blue Dragon.
Now it seemed that Su Ping intended to elementalize it at this stage. After receiving Su Ping's nod of confirmation, Zhu Hong did not ask further questions but silently observed.
The evolution of the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly was indeed straightforward.
No wonder Su Ping had previously spoken so casually about evolving it that day.
When the process began, even Zhu Hong realized that it could be this simple.
After feeding the elemental resources and the final Radiant Dragon Essence to the dying Rainbow Crystal Butterfly, a surge of evolution light burst forth.
The simplicity of the evolution left even Zhu Hong blinking in surprise:
"Su Ping, is it done?"
Su Ping nodded, repeating his earlier analogy, "Shooting at a target, anyone with a normal mind can do it."
"The previous evolution had already allowed the Rainbow Coral Worm to absorb dragon energy, but it lacked the activation of light energy. However, a normal flesh and blood body cannot withstand the combined energy of light and water.
By transforming into an elemental body and activating the previously lacking light energy, the evolution can be completed.
But according to my speculation and estimation, it's not all smooth sailing after evolution!
The energy of light and water needs to find a balance within the evolved body of the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly. Therefore, during the evolution process, the evolved body must be kept at the balance point of the two elements.
This is why I had Guan Shu send someone to use light-focusing lamps to lock onto this location. Additionally, for a period of time after the evolution, approximately ten hours, the evolved body must remain under intense light, followed by another ten hours in water, and the rest of the time at the junction of light and water.
Otherwise, if the energy is unbalanced, it may cause the evolved body to disperse."
Zhu Hong listened with a thoughtful nod.
Glancing at the pensive Zhu Hong, Su Ping didn't know what insights the master had gained, but he didn't bother to ask and calmly looked at the evolution light in front of him.
The evolution didn't take long.
Twenty minutes later, the light faded, and a vague figure appeared in sight.
It was a ray of light.
At first glance, it seemed to have no rules or patterns.
But under the sun's rays, a unique curve emerged on its body.
It was like a rainbow, yet even more beautiful!
Finally, within the outline of the curve, a butterfly carved purely from light appeared before the two of them.
Even Su Ping and Zhu Hong, with their vast experience, felt dizzy and mesmerized when they saw this creature.
It was too beautiful!
It was the most beautiful pet he had ever seen.
His Spirit Eye activated instantly, and he looked at the strange pet made entirely of light:
[Dream Aurora Butterfly - Wild, Age: 1 year, 10 months, 11 days]
[Attributes: Light, Water]
[Current Realm: Overlord Fourth Rank]
[Race Potential: Monarch Tenth Rank]
[Skills: Dream Nest (Proficient), Aurora Cloud (Skilled), Dragon Energy (Proficient), Dream Mirage (Beginner), Water Light Ripple (Beginner), Rainbow Bridge (Beginner), Aurora Beam (Beginner), Water Beast Control (Skilled).]
Dream Aurora Butterfly
Su Ping glanced at the ordinary skills, understood their basic capabilities, and then paid no further attention.
What interested him were the first two skills after evolution.
Dream Nest, obviously, was the evolved form of the Rainbow Hole.
This was an inherited ability of the Rainbow Coral Worm lineage and one of the most important skills for the Water Heart.
[Dream Nest (Skilled): Secretes special resources 'Aurora Crystal', 'Rainbow Crystal', and 'Rainbow Coral' by consuming food resources or through self-growth, automatically building its nest.]
(Aurora Crystal: A special light-water resource exclusively produced by the evolved Rainbow Coral Worm, the 'Dream Aurora Butterfly', extremely beautiful.
The Rainbow Crystal Butterfly, a resource above the Rainbow Crystal, has an undetermined grade. Its grade is determined by the grade of the Dream Aurora Butterfly itself and the grade of the consumed food resource.
The Aurora Crystal can affect all water-type and light-type pets, releasing a splendid aurora that nourishes aquatic pets. It can enhance the wisdom of water-type and light-type pets, accelerate the growth of light-type and water-type resources, and speed up the training of light-type skills for corresponding attribute pets.
As expected!
Su Ping let out a sigh of relief.
The skill's effect is still there.
With the effect still present, the place where the Dream Aurora Butterfly resides will naturally continue to attract a large number of water-type pets.
And now, even more so.
Additionally, there's another special skill:
[Aurora Cloud (Proficient): The main body releases a faint aurora cloud, capable of hiding in water sources. The aurora cloud can increase the leveling speed of all water-type and light-type pets below its own level. It can actively teach the skill 'Rainbow Aurora' to other pets.]
These two skills are the most valuable skills for resource-type pets. Possessing the ability to produce exclusive resources and teach skills, one would be wealthy and noble for life in the world of pet breeders.
The following few skills:
Water Light Ripple can improve water quality and increase water energy content. The rest are combat skills, all of which are quite good.
Most importantly, Su Ping noticed something else.
In the Shenlong Clan's tome, alongside the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly's evolution into the Dream Aurora Butterfly, a new branch appeared without exception.
On this branch, the Dream Aurora Butterfly clearly possesses another skill.
This little guy has mastered a racial skill: Dream Aurora.
However, having just finished evolving, it's obvious that it hasn't comprehended the skill yet.
This skill might very well be an ultimate skill.
As expected, the evolution of the Heart of All Souls Tome never disappoints Su Ping.
Nevertheless, to ensure the survival of the Dream Aurora Butterfly, Su Ping directly through spiritual communication, basking in the sunlight and absorbing light element energy.
However, at this moment, a voice came from not too far away.
"Wow, the evolution of the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly, and you didn't even bother to call me."
As expected, it was Meng Yao, the very person Su Ping had been talking about earlier.
This guy, who appears and disappears like a ghost, has returned once again.
Su Ping glanced at him:
"Master Zhu said you had something to do and left. I was just thinking of evolving first, but what were you up to?"
Obviously, the person in front of him had just returned.
Meng Yao stared at the Dream Aurora Butterfly for a while before laughing:
"I went to get my sixth pet... "
"Your sixth pet? Isn't your sixth pet that Water Dragon? Isn't the Water Dragon the reward for your promotion to the Saint Spirit rank?"
Su Ping was surprised.
Meng Yao snorted:
"Who said that the promotion reward can't be given in advance? My fifth pet, the Water Sovereign, was given to me when I reached the Monarch rank. Even if the Dragon-type pet has an innate talent, it's impossible for it to evolve from a youngling to the Saint Spirit rank in such a short time, right? Can't you see that from your three pets? The Water Sovereign was given to me by Sister Bing and the Sea Dragon King in advance. My sixth pet hasn't been contracted yet!"
Su Ping nodded, now understanding.
Indeed, it seemed to be the case.
The pets Meng Yao could bring out were always the Water Dragon and the initial Thunder Wing Devil.
So, it made sense.
"So, what's this sixth pet of yours?"
"Hehe, my pet is naturally not an ordinary thing. It's a rare Saint Spirit rank water-type pet's youngling. Ta-da!"
He took out a pet egg from his Beast Taming Space as if showing off a treasure.
Su Ping's eyelids twitched.
This thing... why does it look so familiar?
So, Su Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Is this... the pet egg of the Ocean Mystic Turtle?"
Meng Yao was taken aback. "Eh? You know about this too? Haha, that's great."
What's so great about it? Su Ping didn't know, so he thought for a moment and asked,
"Isn't this from the auction in the Ten Thousand Islands Kingdom?"
This time, Meng Yao hadn't expected it. "You know about the auction in the Ten Thousand Islands Kingdom too? That's right. This was bought by the Dragon Country representative for me..."
"This thing, I had long ago set my sights on it as my sixth pet, but now... I've changed my mind!"
Hmm? Su Ping looked at Meng Yao with suspicion.
Meng Yao also looked at him, and the child-like face at his waist revealed a mysterious smile:
"Su Ping, I'll give you this Ocean Mystic Turtle. It can pair up with your Sea Core Spirit Turtle."
Obviously, it was unlikely for the Monarch rank Sea Core Spirit Turtle and the Saint Spirit rank Ocean Mystic Turtle to pair up was clearly not feasible.
But Meng Yao's idea was special:
With these words, the two people present understood the intentions of this seemingly small but cunning guy.
