Chapter 595: Sword Washing Pool! Golden Heart!
Chapter 595: Sword Washing Pool! Golden Heart!
"Su Ping, we can't slack off! You are the hope of our Dragon Nation's future."
"You're the pillar of the Dragon Nation, the helmsman of breeders, and the benchmark of the times. Look at yourself these days, what kind of state are you in?"
Meng Yao earnestly advised Su Ping by his side.
Su Ping glanced at him.
This guy, who has been online in the Dream Heart for eight hours every day without a minute's difference, and has been asking Su Ping to let Feifei take time off for him, allowing his game time to be unrestricted...
At this very moment, he's being accused of slacking off?
Su Ping couldn't be bothered to respond.
It was clear that during this time, all of Meng Yao's attention and energy had been focused on the Sea King's Arm.
As the first genuine breeding body, he was now bound to Meng Yao.
And if Su Ping continued to delve into this, it would undoubtedly benefit him.
Therefore, Su Ping didn't even bother to acknowledge this guy.
Damn it, after working hard for a year, and with only a week left until the New Year, he had even temporarily stopped his simulated breeding with La Sha.
And they still wouldn't let him enjoy himself?
Su Ping didn't pay him any mind.
Recently, he had gone to the Thousand Islands Nation and had placed some water-type companion beasts he found in the inner Water Heart near the Fantasy Aurora Butterfly. He had also promised to study them when he had time.
What more did they want from him?
Fortunately, Meng Yao also had a solution. He smiled at Su Ping:
"Su Ping, the Sword Washing Pool is ready. Do you want to go take a look?"
As expected, when he mentioned this, Su Ping's spirits lifted.
This guy,
had been dangling this carrot in front of him all along.
The Sword Washing Pool and the Thunder Summoning Pool were both built by diverting the Spirit Stream.
The distance wasn't too far, but it was in the opposite direction of the main road of the Heart of All Souls.
Located in the southern part of the Forest Heart, this undeveloped area had been quiet, but now this guy was finally talking about it again.
However, Su Ping hadn't been in a hurry before.
The reason was quite simple—these two special pools required the construction of canals for water diversion.
It was a major project.
Although such projects had been ongoing during this time, even as Guan Yan had lost over ten pounds, they had never stopped.
But it was certain that some time would be needed.
And now, he truly hadn't expected that the Sword Washing Pool was already completed?
Su Ping straightened up from his rocking chair:
"Really?"
This time, it was Meng Yao's turn to roll his eyes:
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?"
Su Ping stood up immediately:
"Let's go and take a look."
In fact, he had indeed been lacking such a special place.
The reason was simple.
Initially, he had barely managed to obtain the inheritance of that Fengdu Sword King.
Although the most valuable thing in Yu Lingqing's entire inheritance was probably the Heavenly Tomb Seal that opened the Divine Tomb,
in addition to that, there was also the Annihilating Evil Spirit Sword, and furthermore, the cultivation method of the White Bone Sword and the Sword of Death's Judgment.
As a beastmaster who had inherited the other party's breeding, if possible, Su Ping would still prefer to replicate and expand upon their breeding body.
Not to mention, after Qian Yi evolved into the Hell Sword Master, the Death Sword Domain could accommodate and devour countless sword-type companion beasts and even their remains.
Su Ping could also guess that if Qian Yi had long-term contact with these companion beasts, it would be beneficial to him.
However, these sword-type tool companion beasts were different from other companion beasts, and he truly didn't have a place to store them.
Now that the Sword Washing Pool was finally ready, it would also allow Su Ping to continue expanding his fixed companion beast breeding location.
Nevertheless, even with more places, would there be enough personnel?
Before they even reached the location, Su Ping had already started considering further plans.
Currently, among the breeders under his Heart of All Souls, aside from himself, the ones who were truly on the list were Guan Lili, who specialized in Forest Wolves, and Zhao Qingqing, who focused on breeding Cloud-Patterned Tree Pythons and other snake-type companion beasts, including the Black Water Mystic Snake.
There was also Ding Xiaolong, the junior of Ding Yan from Huaiyang Province, who mainly focused on fire-type companion beasts, with the Flame Wolf as his core, while also researching the Fire-Eating Crow.
On the Necromancer side, there was Bai Cang, who guarded the Heart of Souls.
And there was also his classmate, Li Shu, who had transitioned from Forest Wolves to become a tree-type companion beast breeder.
Of course, if one were to count, there was also that foreign girl who specialized in plant-type companion beasts and had been sent over initially.
From a true noble family, she was the legitimate daughter of the legendary Breeder family.
However, that foreign girl named Ello Connar was a genuine research maniac. Or rather, she had always harbored a grudge and wanted to compete with herself.
Even at home, Su Ping had hardly ever seen that girl.
Much of her time was spent in the Heart of Forest.
Her main research was on those plant-type Companion Beasts from several species that had never appeared and were already extinct.
Her level was just so-so.
Her research didn't yield much either.
So, these few people were essentially all the breeding talents of the Heart of Necromancer.
As for the rest, Old Liu and Master Meng, they weren't considered true Heart of All Souls.
Therefore, in the future, if possible, he might have to continue selecting a few students.
Thinking this, Su Ping and Meng Yao arrived at the teleportation array and teleported to the array closest to the Sword Washing Pool.
Soon after, they quickly arrived at this side.
It must be said that Su Ping hadn't thoroughly inspected his home in a long time.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it was changing almost daily, and it was too vast.
Fortunately, Uncle Guan resolved all his worries, allowing him to be a carefree boss.
And before him, it was just like that.
This was a place he had never seen before.
From the main channel of Spirit Stream, which branched off about six or seven kilometers, they reached this location.
What was formed was called the Sword Washing Pool, but in reality, it was a lake that wasn't small.
It was approximately one or two square kilometers in size.
Standing on the opposite side, one could barely see the distant end with the naked eye.
However, this was indeed not an ordinary lake.
Upon approaching, Su Ping immediately felt an extremely awe-inspiring Golden elemental energy.
That sharp energy, which even made his skin and cheeks feel slightly stinging, was all too familiar to Su Ping.
He looked at Meng Yao with suspicion and astonishment:
"That's not right, the original sand table, this Sword Washing Pool, wasn't it at most a thousand or two square meters? Now, it's expanded so much?"
Meng Yao chuckled:
"All thanks to your prestige, hehe, originally, Old Peng the blacksmith, he had an agreement with me, to prepare a Sword Washing Pool of that size.
After all, the territory of the Sword Washing Pool requires the resources of two or three Imperial Ranks. Plus a large amount of other resources.
But, as soon as I mentioned helping you, that old blacksmith immediately put up his capital, hehehe."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, feeling speechless.
He inexplicably owed someone a favor.
Read the original in Book 6, Chapter 9!
However, life is like this; when you become powerful, many acquaintances and strangers will rush to befriend you.
Compared to Beastmasters with administrative capabilities, the Breeder Association with resource control, and the Association of Machinists representing new forces, the Artificer Association is relatively peripheral.
Their voice is not very influential, after all, Companion Beasts of the artifact type are relatively rare and niche.
By befriending him, one can guess some of his intentions.
Su Ping nodded and noted this person.
"I told you about the function of the Sword Washing Pool before. How about it? Do you want to give it a try? But, I remember your Heart of All Souls doesn't have any Golden-type Companion Beasts, right? Not to mention some artifact-type sword Companion Beasts, that's a bit tricky."
Su Ping glared at this fellow, then waved his hand, and Qian Yi, dressed in silver-gray, made his appearance.
As expected, after Qian Yi's initial bewilderment, upon seeing the Sword Washing Pool filled with Golden elemental energy, he immediately brightened up:
"Wow!"
With a thought from Su Ping, two figures appeared in front of Qian Yi.
They were none other than the Holy Evil Spirit Sword of the Holy Spirit Rank and the Dragon Severing Sword, which was only a shell.
After seeing these two things, Meng Yao's eyes widened:
"Damn!"
All his attention during this time had been on the Sea King's Arm, so he hadn't paid attention to Su Ping's previous sparring with Ye Zhou and others.
Moreover, in many cases, the impact of seeing is believing, which is indeed different from hearsay.
The impact of a previously gifted junior suddenly standing up, matching the strength he controls, and possibly even slightly surpassing it, is indeed not something ordinary people can accept.
Su Ping didn't seem to mind. With a wave of his hand, the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword directly submerged itself into the Sword Washing Pool.
The terrifying vortex caused a large amount of metal energy to swirl around the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.
In an instant, a unique metallic luster enveloped the blade of the sword.
At this moment, the entire Supreme Evil Spirit Sword became even more dazzling.
Su Ping could tell at a glance that just this one tempering process had given this Holy Spirit Rank sword-type companion beast a significant enhancement.
Was the effect of the Sword Washing Pool truly this remarkable?
And it wasn't just the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.
Soon, Qian Yi also entered the Sword Washing Pool, and the abundant metal energy, passing through his special body, merged into Qian Yi's body.
At this moment, Qian Yi's body took on an even more metallic quality.
And then, the next moment.
In a way that even Su Ping hadn't anticipated, after absorbing a large amount of energy from the Sword Washing Pool, Qian Yi's body trembled, and then a unique aura emerged.
Had he advanced?
After returning from the Heavenly Tomb, the evolved Qian Yi became the strongest among all of Su Ping's companion beasts.
Imperial Rank, Third Stage.
And now, Qian Yi's realm directly advanced, reaching the Imperial Rank, Fourth Stage, and entering the middle tier of the Imperial Rank.
This scene surprised even Su Ping:
"So it really works?"
Meng Yao rolled her eyes at this remark:
"Of course it works. This is personally crafted by Old Peng. Although Old Peng couldn't come in person due to his busy schedule, he definitely put his heart into it. You don't trust others, so how can you not trust him?"
This statement was undeniable.
But Meng Yao continued:
"The effect is there, but you've had enough. Don't let these two guys temper again. The Sword Washing Pool has just appeared, and it can't handle too much at once. Let's get them out first, and give the pool some time to recover to avoid irreversible damage."
Su Ping's thoughts moved, and Qian Yi, somewhat reluctant, left the pool.
The effect of the pool made him yearn for it.
"However, the effect of the Sword Washing Pool gets better with use. After all, during the tempering process, it absorbs the Golden Qi from these companion beasts and continuously integrates it into the pool water."
As long as the origin isn't damaged, it's definitely promising for the future! By the way, should we change the name of this Sword Washing Pool to Golden Heart?"
Looking at the lake filled with dense golden energy, Su Ping thought for a moment and nodded:
"That's fine. In any case, we need to gather the hearts of the five elements. In the future, we can develop a habitat for other metal-attributed companion beasts on both sides of this lake.
We can have areas like the Sword Tomb and Sword Grave."
Meng Yao had a look as if she had already guessed it, and then said:
"The Sword Washing Pool is fine, but the Thunder Summoning Pool will need some time, and its danger level is much higher than the Sword Washing Pool."
"It's fine. I have little interaction with lightning-attributed companion beasts, so thank you, Senior Meng."
This time, Su Ping spoke sincerely.
The effect of this heart was indeed remarkable.
Just right, after some time, we can purchase a batch of basic companion beasts like the Decaying Sword and activate their Heart of All Souls Tome.
"I don't have much credit; it's mainly Old Blacksmith who's truly reliable. If you want to thank someone, go find him!"
Indeed, these words reminded Su Ping of something, and he thought for a moment and said:
"Actually, I do have something I'd like to ask that unseen Peng Senior about! In the inheritance secret realm of the Heavenly Tomb Seal, I obtained some tool-type companion beasts. Sometimes, when I'm free, I have some ideas.
It's just that, as you've seen, you have many research projects, and it's really hard to keep up.
And in this aspect, I don't have any connections or familiar people. So I'm thinking, why don't you tell that Peng senior about it?
Ask him to find me a not-too-old artificer with good talent in the Artificer Association, and if they're willing, they can come to the Heart of All Souls and become a breeder here. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yao's eyes lit up, and she laughed, patting Su Ping's shoulder:
"You kid, you're just making things easier for me! So quickly, I can return the favor."
Seeing Meng Yao's delighted expression, Su Ping actually wanted to say that he was the one who should be thanking her.
