Chapter 609: Oceanic Tortoise Xiao Hai! Nurturing the Green Abundance.

As night fell, Su Ping squatted in the incubation room, his eyes fixed on the scene before him.

The incubator was acquired when he initially purchased the laboratory.

The purpose and significance of the incubator were self-evident.

However, the Soul of All Spirits had not been used frequently.

Within the Soul of All Spirits, the number of offspring born through reproduction was relatively small.

During the training of some beasts, he intentionally avoided this.

Nevertheless, as the number of beasts in the Soul of All Spirits increased, this aspect would not be neglected in the future.

Currently, the incubator contained only one precious beast egg, resting in a temperature and humidity-controlled hatchery.

Only a small observation window remained.

A beast egg of immense value.

The Oceanic Tortoise, a beast egg with the Sacred Spirit Race Potential.

It possessed unmatched control over water energy and, as a turtle-type beast, boasted formidable defensive capabilities.

Once mature, this creature would become a mobile fortress in the water, capable of both offense and defense.

No wonder Meng Yao had initially intended to cultivate this beast as his Sacred Spirit pet.

The capabilities of the Oceanic Tortoise were indeed worth Su Ping's careful observation, ensuring that the hatching day would proceed without any issues.

As expected, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, under Su Ping's watchful eye, the pale blue beast egg, resembling water flowing into it, suddenly emitted a crisp 'crack' sound.

A crack appeared, and a snake-like head slowly emerged from the eggshell, devoid of any peculiar colors or scales, its entire head looking plump and pink.

At first glance, it resembled the devil snake that his father once had.

Its pink skin seemed a bit odd.

However, before long, the little turtle, still with its eyes closed, opened its mouth wide and began devouring the pieces of eggshell.

'Crack!'

The sound was crisp, and it was evident that this high-quality beast egg provided ample nutrition.

The Oceanic Tortoise ate with relish.

Su Ping heaved a sigh of relief and stepped into the incubator.

It was clear that Sacred Spirit beasts were not as delicate as they seemed.

Their powerful genes and race endowed them with a certain level of ordinary strength from the moment of their birth.

The little turtle seemed oblivious to Su Ping's footsteps, remaining focused on consuming its eggshell.

Simultaneously, its body finally emerged from the eggshell.

Su Ping observed the turtle's shell.

Compared to the Sea Core Spirit Turtle, the newly born Oceanic Tortoise had a shell that was not smooth but instead displayed undulating ridges.

The shell seemed to bear the weight of a mountain on its back, and despite its youthful appearance, this single feature was enough to reveal that the Oceanic Tortoise was distinct from the Sea Core Spirit Turtle.

Finally, the turtle finished consuming the entire eggshell, which was the size of a basketball.

As the Oceanic Tortoise devoured the last of the eggshell, its body radiated with several flashes of light, and with just that, it directly advanced to the Elite level.

Following its innate instincts, the Oceanic Tortoise opened its eyes and curiously gazed upon the world it was about to encounter.

The first thing it saw was an unmistakable human aura.

Its large, dark eyes blinked, and on its bald, pink head, the Oceanic Tortoise instinctively displayed affection, its originally round eyes curving into a crescent shape.

According to prior knowledge, this was an innate behavior of newly born beasts.

As expected, as the little one expressed affection, Su Ping's mind experienced a disturbance in the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits.

However, what Su Ping had not anticipated was that the book that appeared in his mind was not an unfamiliar, locked one, but rather a lit-up book that he had already unlocked.

It was the only unlocked turtle book in the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, and it could only be the Sea Core Spirit Turtle.

[You have obtained the 'Oceanic Tortoise' evolution branch of the Sea Core Spirit Turtle. With each day of contact with the Oceanic Tortoise, the Sea Core Spirit Turtle's experience value increases by 150 points!]

Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed.

Turtle-type beasts were a significant category among pets, and there were many varieties.

Moreover, there were even more types beyond the two being water-based or having an evolutionary relationship.

At the very least, according to Su Ping's knowledge, he genuinely had no idea that the Oceanic Tortoise and the Sea Core Spirit Turtle were related.

He took out his phone and, while handing an Elite-level Water Essence Ointment to the Oceanic Tortoise, he instructed his phone:

"Fei Fei, search for information on the Sea Core Spirit Turtle and the Oceanic Tortoise. Check if there is an evolutionary relationship in their charts."

Fei Fei's speed was astonishing, and on the phone, information about the two creatures quickly appeared.

As expected, even with Su Ping's access, he couldn't find any evolutionary connection between the two.

Cang Hai Xuan Gui, a naturally born Sacred Spirit-level beast, was extremely rare and powerful. In terms of defensive capabilities, it was likely unmatched by any other Sacred Spirit-level beast in its category.

Currently, no lower-tier beast had been found to evolve into Cang Hai Xuan Gui. All discovered Cang Hai Xuan Gui were born that way.

So, in the common understanding, Cang Hai Xuan Gui was believed to be naturally born, and no lower-tier evolved form had been identified.

This creature, however, was extremely powerful in water and had highly irreplaceable combat effectiveness. Even its adult form possessed two super-tier skills.

Its value was indeed high, so when Meng Yao initially traded it for the Sea King's Arm, Su Ping felt that he had gotten the short end of the deal.

Among the evolved forms of Hai Xin Ling Gui, there were only two, both of which were Emperor-level and had little connection to Cang Hai Xuan Gui.

Suddenly, Su Ping thought of another beast, none other than the current ruler of the Soul of All Spirits, the extremely Yin Earth-bound Spirit, Di Ling Hong Yi.

In Di Ling Hong Yi's catalog, there was a lower-tier diagram.

Clearly, this creature evolved from a lower-tier beast, and it seemed that not just one type of beast could evolve into the extremely Yin Earth-bound Spirit.

Among all beasts, some had unique information revealed just from the basic disassembly of their catalog.

For instance, the origami man, with just the paper body skill from its racial ability, transformed the once-disgraced undead type into one of the most sought-after choices in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Now, merely the presence of this upper and lower-tier diagram was enough to prove that Hai Xin Ling Gui had the potential to evolve into Cang Hai Xuan Gui.

Immediately, the All-Souls Catalog seemed to sense Su Ping's thoughts and, as expected, provided him with a timely prompt:

【You can consume 6,000 points of Hai Xin Ling Gui catalog experience to simulate the cultivation method for Hai Xin Ling Gui's evolution into Cang Hai Xuan Gui!】

6,000 points of catalog experience was equivalent to a mere 600 points of general experience. Of course, if converted using the most expensive method, it would double to 1,200 points of general experience, which wasn't too expensive.

However, Su Ping didn't rush to exchange it.

Although Turtle had drawn the first prize earlier, he planned to help the little guy evolve this year.

For him, cultivating and evolving Hai Xin Ling Gui, even if it required Sacred Spirit-level resources, wasn't an overly difficult task.

But precisely because of this, he wasn't in a hurry.

Cultivation required a first-come, first-served approach.

Turtle's lazy demeanor was too relaxed. Even if it was time for evolution, there was no rush.

With this in mind, Su Ping smiled slightly as he looked at the creature before him:

"From now on, you shall be called Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai!"

Please...collect...6...9...books....!

As a Sacred Spirit-level beast with high potential, Xiao Hai understood Su Ping's words and let out a soft, juvenile hum.

Su Ping chuckled and took out a Commander-level Bing Ling Jin Gunyu can from his beast space.

These white-eyed fish were indeed less likable than the little octopuses. As Xiao Hai stuck his head into the can, Su Ping carried the palm-sized Xiao Hai outside.

Although Xiao Hai had Sacred Spirit-level potential, he was currently too young. Su Ping couldn't release him into the Water Heart, and he also needed to observe Xiao Hai's temperament.

For example, Turtle preferred to stay out of the water. He either sunbathed in the fishing area of the Water Heart, waiting for food, or soaked in the Dragon Pool, enjoying the nourishment of the Dreamful Radiant Butterflies. That was fine.

But if Xiao Hai was more aggressive and clashed with the wild beasts underwater, it might affect the Water Heart's business, and if a Sacred Spirit-level beast with high potential like Xiao Hai got injured, it would be a significant loss.

Therefore, Su Ping decided to keep Xiao Hai in his beast space for now.

However, he wasn't in a rush. It was essential to build a bond with Xiao Hai first.

Just as Su Ping was thinking this and preparing to fetch more fish cans to feed Xiao Hai, night fell, and the phone suddenly rang.

And the caller was indeed an elder, a genuine one.

Du Sheng, Liu Niang.

An old comrade-in-arms of the old man.

"Hey, Liu Niang? Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year. Were you waiting for me to call and greet you?" Liu Niang's boisterous voice echoed on the other end.

Su Ping hurriedly explained, "It's the first day of the new year. You must be busy over there, and if I sent a group message, it wouldn't be respectful. So, I planned to greet you properly tomorrow morning!"

"Get lost, you little brat! You forgot, didn't you? Anyway, I didn't call just for that. I sent those resources you asked for earlier. They should arrive soon! Make sure to receive them later!"

Liu Niang directly exposed Su Ping's lie, revealing the main reason for her call.

"Resources?"

Su Ping was slightly taken aback. "What resources?"

On the other end of the call, he could clearly hear Liu Niang's breathing become heavier, indicating that she was taking deep breaths to control her surging blood pressure. After a long pause, she finally spoke, "You asked for them, didn't you? And you even traded some of Si Tu Feng's resources for them. These are the Sacred Spirit-level resources, 'Great King Poison Grass,' used to cultivate the Sacred Spirit-level skill, 'Green Abundance.' You, you little rascal, directly asked me for four of them! Do you know how difficult it is to obtain four of them?! Did you forget about this?"

Su Ping blinked, finally realizing what this was about. He patted his head, "Sorry, sorry, I remember now, I remember now. Thank you, Liu Niang. You've really helped me out of a pinch!"

"A pinch?"

Liu Niang's voice suddenly rose, and the Toxin Saint suddenly realized that compared to this little rascal's audacity in sending the Rong family members to Yunnan Province to cause her trouble, the little brat himself was even more infuriating.

In fact, more than half a month ago, the four Sacred Spirit-level Great King Poison Grasses had already been acquired. However, due to the Rong family matter, Liu Niang was infuriated by Su Ping's presumptuous actions and had been holding onto them, not rushing to deliver them.

She had been waiting for Su Ping, the little brat, to get impatient and call her to ask for them.

Then, she could vent her frustration over the phone.

There was no need to elaborate on the relationship between her and the Rong family.

What did this little brat mean by sending them over? After returning from the Heavenly Tomb, this little brat seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

She had waited until the first day of the new year, finally unable to hold back, and sent the resources to him, initiating the call.

After just a few words, she almost couldn't help but fly to Linzhou and give this little brat a good beating.

And he called it a 'pinch'? He didn't even bother to explain properly, and this little brat had already forgotten about it?

Sensing Liu Niang's anger over the phone, Su Ping chuckled, "It is a pinch, really. It's the New Year's holiday, and I'm bored with nothing to do. Your resources arrived just in time!"

"Hmph! Little brat, cultivating 'Green Abundance' is not easy, and cultivating poison-type skills is no joke. Don't forget the lesson from last time. If you can't handle it, come to me, and I'll help you cultivate it!"

Hearing Liu Niang's implied words, Su Ping quickly responded, "No need, no need. Last time was an accident. I didn't expect the Five Toxin Cauldron to be so effective. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Speaking of which, why do you need so many copies? The Great King Poison Grass is not an ordinary resource, and there's no need to cultivate multiple copies of 'Green Abundance.' Isn't it a waste for domain-type skills?"

Liu Niang was genuinely curious.

A total of four Sacred Spirit-level poison-type resources, and all of the same kind, was no small feat.

Indeed, she had spent a considerable amount of effort and energy on this task.

Su Ping chuckled, "It is indeed cultivating multiple copies, but not on four separate beasts. It's on one beast!"

"Hmm? Don't try to keep me in suspense, you little rascal!"

"Xiao Qing's External Incarnation can cultivate four skills simultaneously, and the skill proficiency level increases fourfold. In the future, there's a high probability that these cultivated skills will reach the level of 'Transcendence'!"

"External Incarnation... Transcendence..."

There was silence on Liu Niang's end, as she seemed to be processing the overwhelming amount of information in Su Ping's statement.

Su Ping then hung up the call and glanced at Xiao Hai, storing him in the Beast Taming Space.

Indeed, Xiao Qing's cultivation had been delayed for too long!
