Chapter 635: Ghost Tree Evolution! Holy Spirit Level Chibo!
Chapter 635: Ghost Tree Evolution! Holy Spirit Level Chibo!
"No way!"
The word 'no' echoed almost simultaneously from the mouths of the two.
Without a moment's hesitation.
Su Ping, however, remained unconcerned, "I'll make the call on this matter. Rest assured, I won't enter Cherry Land under my own identity. Instead, I'll go as your secretary or assistant."
The last time he was on the Wind Cave Islands, he had thoroughly offended the Red Ghost Clan of Cherry Land, even going as far as killing their young master, a fellow named Chi Gui Qiong.
This had forced the clan to transform him into a pet to prolong his life, which only intensified their hatred towards Su Ping.
But what of it?
Among the clans of Cherry Land, there were no legendary beings in residence, and even the legendary Cherry Blossom Divine Tree that was said to guard the land had been dormant for who knows how many years.
If it weren't for the support of the Eagle Nation, Cherry Land might not even be as powerful as the Ten Thousand Islands.
So, Su Ping's decision to go seemed impulsive, but in reality, he had a certain level of confidence in his plan.
Even if a war did break out, he wasn't afraid of the island nation's forces.
At worst, they would engage in a real battle, and that wasn't a big deal.
He was genuinely curious to see what the Holy Spirit Level beings of Cherry Land were capable of.
What heights could Old Sha, Little Crow, and Qian Yi reach if they went all out? Moreover, he had two of the most reliable bodyguards by his side.
With these bodyguards, even if Cherry Land didn't have a legendary being guarding it, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to harm him.
Saint Wu Kuang furrowed his brows, "No, Su Ping, if something happens to you..."
Su Ping glanced at Saint Wu Kuang, speechless. It was clear that this Saint was in charge of the Golden Union's affairs, and if anything happened to Su Ping, he would be the one held responsible.
It was only natural for anyone to want to avoid responsibility, and Su Ping understood this, but he still smiled and said, "Senior, I'm no ordinary Breeder anymore. If you wish, you can test my abilities by sparring with one of my pets."
Spar?
Saint Wu Kuang looked at Su Ping, speechless. This young man was a bit delusional.
However, he had heard about some of the events that had transpired in the Ancient Tomb.
While he didn't know about Qian Yi's slaying of the Holy Spirit Level Winter Snow Demon King with a single sword, he was aware of the remains of the Supreme Demon-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword that had appeared on Su Ping's pet a few days ago.
Perhaps this was the source of the young man's confidence?
Saint Wu Kuang shook his head, "Enough, Su Ping, this isn't a place for jokes. Moreover, your appearance and figure are too recognizable, and there's no way Cherry Land wouldn't know who you are."
Not to mention the other members of the Golden Union. By the time he reached Cherry Land, they might have already figured out his true identity.
If something went wrong, and the Golden Union's leader didn't show up, all their efforts would be in vain!
At this point, Wu Kuang continued, "Rest assured, I'll ensure Miss Dong's safety. I'll find a way to keep her out of harm's reach..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Ping, feeling too lazy to explain, underwent a strange transformation. In less than ten seconds, the old Su Ping was gone, replaced by an entirely different figure.
It was an ordinary face, almost unrecognizable compared to the previous Su Ping.
But the faint smile on his face was all too familiar.
Dong Muchun stood frozen, reaching out to pinch Su Ping's face. It felt real, with no discernible difference, and even her spiritual perception detected no change from before.
How was this possible? Dong Muchun had no idea, but Wu Kuang, as a Holy Spirit Level Beastmaster, naturally had a broader understanding. He immediately realized what was happening, "Mirroring Heaven? You've mastered this talent?"
Indeed, it was Mirroring Heaven, or more accurately, its evolution, Mirage.
He had automatically acquired this talent when he last lit up the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits' Mirror of the Heavens.
However, the practicality of this talent was not high for him, and he didn't use it often.
But now, he finally had a chance to put it to good use.
As for whether this would expose too much of his talent?
With his current identity and strength, who could possibly have any thoughts about it?
Even Wu Kuang, after a moment of surprise, didn't bother to pursue the matter further.
Perhaps, this was the effect of a treasure that Saint Dragon gave to this young man, allowing him to master this skill.
There was nothing to be surprised about.
Seeing that Wu Kuang still seemed hesitant, his strange mechanical-electronic face showing some hesitation, Su Ping waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Saint Dragon about this. It has nothing to do with you, and you bear no responsibility."
Wu Kuang sighed helplessly.
"Su Ping, there's an old saying in Dragon Country, 'A wise man does not stand beneath a dangerous wall.' Beastmasters are not like those in mythological novels who need constant battles and self-breakthroughs to become stronger.
On the contrary, for beastmasters, even without death, there are times when the combat ability and potential of their pets are greatly affected, and there's no need to take unnecessary risks."
Su Ping smiled.
"Don't worry, I understand. This time, the purpose of the Golden Heart is to establish a branch in Cherry Land, and recently, I've been studying the situation of the Golden Heart.
If possible, we should not let them proceed so smoothly."
Su Ping also wanted to see what the real core of the Golden Heart was and how it differed from the financial core sent by the Golden Union.
No one could change his decision.
After calling Saint Dragon Legend and informing him, he didn't refuse and simply nodded.
"Go if you want to. Just bring Little White with you."
Compared to Wu Kuang's cautiousness, Saint Dragon Legend didn't seem to care much about the Cherry Land mission.
With this assurance, Su Ping had nothing to fear.
However, it would take a full week before they could set off for Cherry Land.
Just enough time to finish the Mermaid Princess's matter.
The evolution of the Yinhuai Ghost Tree.
During this year's New Year's lottery, the Yinhuai Ghost Tree came in first in contribution points and also won the grand prize for evolution.
As a member of the Imperial Level race, its evolution would undoubtedly be a Holy Spirit Level evolution body.
If not for the involvement of the Mermaid Princess, even Su Ping would have been reluctant to evolve it.
Fortunately, with a free sponsor, how could he not take advantage of this opportunity?
The evolution method of the Yinhuai Ghost Tree was a top-tier collection of the Breeder's Association.
Evolution methods that could achieve a Holy Spirit Level were extremely rare and precious.
In fact, they couldn't be directly exchanged for with the association's points.
But fortunately, when Su Ping became the vice president of the Breeder's Association, he had the authority to view all the breeding methods, and he went through each one.
Numerous breeding methods gave him a lot of inspiration in this regard, including the evolution method of the Blood Bone Skeleton Tree into the Yinhuai Ghost Tree.
The absolute fusion of undead and plant-type pets.
A pet born from the extension of life and death.
This was the Yinhuai Ghost Tree.
Even Su Ping had no guarantee of success for the Yinhuai Ghost Tree's evolution, but fortunately, he had an external aid.
He didn't make a single mistake, and every step was precise!
In fact, many of the evolution methods in the Breeder's Association's database were not entirely accurate.
Many methods required on-the-spot adjustments based on the pet's talents and the breeder's reactions to the pet's changes.
These factors could greatly influence the success or failure of the pet's evolution.
How did Su Ping breed and evolve his pets?
Each of his steps was precise, down to the quantity of resources and the specific timing.
This allowed even ordinary breeders with limited knowledge to follow his methods and achieve similar results.
This was why everyone in the Eternal Spirit Core improved so quickly.
At the same time, many people sincerely wanted to join the Eternal Spirit Core.
After the situation with the Golden Heart, the Imperial Capital's Forge Master Association was even competing fiercely for a chance to intern and learn at the Eternal Spirit Core.
And so it was with the Yinhuai Ghost Tree.
In the actual breeding methods used behind the scenes, the process was quite vague, with the quantity and ingredients not entirely accurate.
After all, this was somewhat understandable.
The higher the level of breeding methods for Holy Spirit-level creatures, the more ambiguous they became.
The reason was simple: there were limited resource samples available, and even fewer for comparison.
Any situation could potentially lead to changes, and once these changes occurred, they could result in significant losses of Holy Spirit-level resources.
Therefore, there was a high possibility of failure with this process.
It was precisely because of this that the Yinhuai Ghost Tree faced similar challenges.
Fortunately, Su Ping's system could repair even the slightest discrepancies and differences.
The minor resource variations and overall breeding adjustments required only a few hundred points of experience from the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, a negligible cost even when converted using universal experience points.
So, even without prior experience with the Yinhuai Ghost Tree, Su Ping could proceed.
He had only read about the tree's skills and abilities in texts, but with the resources brought by Mermaid Princess, the breeding process went surprisingly smoothly.
It exceeded Su Ping's expectations.
The Blood Bone Skeleton Tree had indeed reached a certain level, but it had not yet reached its full potential.
It was still at the Monarch level, and typically, only when a creature reached the upper limit of its level, at least the Greater Realm, would the chances of successful breeding and evolution be the highest.
Now, the evolution of the Yinhuai Ghost Tree was completed without a hitch within just seven days. On the eve of their departure to Cherry Land, the final touches were put in place.
The Blood Bone Skeleton Tree, true to its name, was entirely red, and its crown was adorned with skulls, creating an eerie sight.
While it might have appealed to some, it undoubtedly had a sinister appearance.
However, after the evolution, the tree took on a different look.
The light of evolution slowly faded, and the sinister Blood Bone Skeleton Tree began to creak.
This creature's self-awareness seemed to return faster than that of other evolved beasts.
Within the Forest Core, all the beasts looked on with envy at this lucky one, who had won the evolutionary lottery.
The evolved Blood Bone Skeleton Tree was now almost a different species compared to its pre-evolution state.
In terms of appearance, the Yinhuai Ghost Tree no longer had skulls, but beneath its massive crown hung numerous illusory fruits, resembling hanging corpses.
Additionally, around the tree, these illusory fruits hovered, creating a ghostly aura centered on the Yinhuai Ghost Tree.
This was a genuine ghost tree! Standing fifteen meters tall, countless wailing souls surrounded it, making it even more terrifying than before.
When Su Ping first laid eyes on this tree, his initial thought was whether to keep it in the Forest Core or transfer it directly to the Soul Core.
It no longer resembled a typical plant-type beast, but Su Ping knew that, ultimately, the Yinhuai Ghost Tree belonged to the plant family.
Its abilities and appearance had taken on a ghostly nature.
Now that the evolution was complete, Su Ping wasn't concerned about its abilities. Instead, he had another worry.
Would this tree retain its appetite after evolving? After all, it was the top eating performer in the Eternal Spirit Core, and its live streams were incredibly popular.
More importantly, Su Ping could tell that this tree genuinely enjoyed its role.
If it lost its ability to eat after evolving, it would be a shame.
As it turned out, Su Ping had overthought it. After a brief pause, the evolved Yinhuai Ghost Tree began to sway its branches.
The countless surrounding evil soul shadows followed suit, emitting mournful cries.
In that moment, the evil souls and the newly evolved tree, which Su Ping hadn't had a chance to fully examine, seemed to convey a single message:
"Hungry!"
Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the top eating performer in the Eternal Spirit Core would remain unaffected.
No, it wasn't just about the Eternal Spirit Core. After the evolution, this was likely the only Holy Spirit-level eating performer around.
