Chapter 660: Work Arrangements! Refining the 'Mythical Core'!
Chapter 660: Work Arrangements! Refining the 'Mythical Core'!
The Legend of the Saint Dragon had departed.
Su Ping sat in the room, his mind still reeling from the recent events. He had originally planned to follow the established agenda and announce a similar achievement to the other Master Breeders at the Lifetime Achievement Convention. Even his planned revelation, the cultivation of external incarnations, was a significant and groundbreaking skill. It would have undoubtedly shocked the entire convention and, combined with Connor Family's defection and the potential theft of the elixir of immortality, would have been a significant advantage.
However, compared to the emergence of an entirely new type of Soulbond Creature, this was merely a minor matter.
The significance of a Legendary-tier skill was indeed epoch-making, capable of boosting a Beast Companion's combat power to unimaginable heights. But the appearance of an entirely new type of Beast Companion was a paradigm shift.
The introduction of Mechanical Beasts had already transformed the Beast Companion era on Blue Star. And now, a new type had emerged.
While the value and impact of the new Soulbond Creatures, as a branch of the semi-elemental category, might not be as profound as that of the Mechanical Beasts, it was still enough to astonish the entire Blue Star. Numerous Beastmaster nations and Ferocious Beast empires would go crazy over this development.
There were two main reasons why Su Ping had not announced this earlier. First was the lack of sufficient production capacity, but that was not a significant concern, as research was an ongoing process. Second, and more importantly, was the insufficient combat power.
Many people, including the Saint Dragon, had been concerned about Su Ping's strength. They feared that if he were to be assassinated, it would be disastrous.
But now, even an average Holy Spirit-tier opponent would not be a match for Su Ping. Moreover, several months had yet to pass since that incident.
With Su Ping's abnormal rate of improvement, who knew what level he would reach by then? It was impossible to predict his progress using conventional logic.
After some deliberation, the Legend of the Saint Dragon made his decision.
Su Ping couldn't help but narrow his eyes. However, before he could think further, footsteps approached.
The four figures who had left earlier returned and looked at Su Ping.
"Has the Saint Dragon left?" Zhu Hong asked first.
Su Ping nodded.
The group didn't inquire about their previous topic or ask Meng Yan anything.
Su Ping exhaled and glanced at the others in the room. He smiled slightly and said, "Do you have any other business? Don't forget about that thing, Elder Meng."
He was extremely interested in the construction blueprints for the Mythical Mechanical Core.
The others also had their own concerns. For example, Meng Yao, who shared the same surname as Meng Yan.
Meng Yao blinked and said, "Su Ping, I heard Elder Meng mention that you plan to create a Legendary-tier mental skill based on the Dream Heart. Why didn't you involve me in this?"
"Involve you?" Su Ping looked at Meng Yao, who seemed like a child. "You're a Water-type. What use would you be?"
Meng Yao became angry. "I'm a Water-type, but I'm also a game enthusiast! The Dream Heart originated from a game, and mentally, we all had a part in it. So, any ideas I have should be meaningful and effective, right?"
Su Ping didn't bother to respond, as he could almost guess what this guy was thinking. As expected, Meng Yao continued, "Later, you can ask Dream Heart to provide me with some backdoor methods so that my Beast Companion can evolve a few more times in the game!"
"We'll talk about it later!" Su Ping brushed him off with a few words before saying, "Alright, this research is mainly conducted by me and Old Liu. Once Elder Meng finishes his work, he'll join us as well. If you're interested, you can come and take a look. I'll go back and rest for a couple of days before officially starting work!"
Su Ping waved his hand and left.
He needed to organize the specific work tasks.
Back in his study, Su Ping lay on the bed and exhaled. After replaying the Legend of the Saint Dragon's words in his mind, he decided not to dwell on them.
Those things were too far away.
His strength was not yet sufficient.
Even with the Saint Dragon's formidable power, it was impossible to leave so soon and so carefree.
So, he still had a few years to improve.
A few years was barely enough for an ordinary Imperial-Ranked Beastmaster, but for Su Ping, it might be different.
His time was limited, and he needed to make the most of it.
First, the research on Dream Surfing had to be completed as soon as possible. This was the key to Feifei's cultivation, and it was also the only method he currently had to approach Mythical-tier cultivation.
Additionally, during this period, he needed to complete the cultivation of Little Fire's Fireseed evolution.
The cultivation of Nanming Lihuo was the key to his true contact with Mythical-tier cultivation, and it might be the only one he currently had.
Besides that, there was also the evolution of Little Qing.
However, Little Qing's situation was special, and its potential had not been fully realized yet.
According to Su Ping's idea, when Chun Shen was asleep, the other mustache he had given him could be further stimulated, allowing Little Qing to continue developing the resources of the Green Demon Wolf Spirit and form a deep energy development.
No, that shouldn't be the power of an ordinary Green Demon Spring.
With the arrival of this Mythical-tier Wood-type Life-type Poison-type existence, the subsequent evolution of Little Qing should be a sublimation of these three attributes.
But when would Little Qing's potential reach its limit? Su Ping didn't know.
The last time during the New Year, after cultivating the lush green field, Little Qing's racial limit had already reached the Imperial Tenth Order.
This was already quite exaggerated.
Could it be that it was about to break through the Holy Spirit Level?
If that was the case, Su Ping didn't have to worry. Based on Little Qing's rate of improvement, it was estimated that by the time the Cultivator's Lifetime Achievement Convention was held, it would be difficult for Little Qing to reach this level.
After all, Little Qing was only barely at the second stage of the Imperial Order.
Although his own breakthrough had allowed Little Qing to make some progress, it still hadn't reached a breakthrough.
As for the rest,
They were all somewhat uncertain.
Among them, there was also the special change of that particular Beast Companion.
Hours.
Su Ping really didn't have time to thoroughly research and help cultivate this time-related little guy.
Instead, Ye Zhou was wholeheartedly focused on using Hour's abilities to create the idea that his master had given him.
However, it had been a long time since he had seen him, and he didn't know where he had gone off to.
This was temporarily uncontrollable.
Another thing was the upcoming focus: the difficulty of the Mythical Core.
He wanted to complete the Wanling Catalogue of the Mythical Core that Eagle Nation was researching. How difficult would it be?
Besides the general experience required for the Wanling Catalogue, he also needed to refer to the subsequent difficulties.
These were the tasks he had to arrange.
Su Ping thought about it for a long time and felt that it was a bit too much.
So many tasks, and so many uncertainties, could they all be completed within the next few months?
Olivia Connor had mentioned before that it would start in five months.
It had been more than a month since she said it.
In other words, in July of summer, there were barely less than four months left.
Could all these research tasks and the many uncertainties be completed in such a short time?
Su Ping didn't know, but he would do his best.
He wondered if there would be any other matters on the Wanling Heart side during this period.
Speaking of which, besides the temporarily shelved Worm Heart, there wasn't anything that required his attention.
As for the Worm Heart, it was also convenient.
He could ask Rong Qiu from the Rong family to come over and help him.
As the Poison Saint's family and the family of his mother, asking his aunt for help shouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, Su Ping suddenly remembered something else.
Before the New Year, he had made a promise!
At the Sword Washing Pool, or the current Golden Heart, he had given a promise through Meng Yao to the Refiner Association's person in the Imperial Capital,
to select a Cultivator of Artifact-type Beast Companions to be his apprentice.
Speaking of which, it was already more than March.
They should have been prepared long ago, right?
Although he didn't have any expertise in Artifact-type Beast Companions,
he possessed the legacy of Fengdu Sword King Yu Liangqing, the Extinction Spirit Yanluo Sword, and the White Bone Longevity Sword. Even if he didn't have real talent in this area, just the name alone was priceless.
Thinking of this, Su Ping called Meng Yao, who slapped his forehead when he heard this:
"A few days ago, Peng Blacksmith mentioned this. I'll give you his number, and you can talk to him yourself!"
The phone number was sent.
Su Ping dialed it.
An impatient voice, just from the sound, one could imagine the rough and rugged face:
"Who is it?"
"Some time ago, Su Ping had already communicated with him, albeit through Meng Yao's phone. It was normal that the other party didn't know his number now.
'President Peng, it's me, Su Ping!'
There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by a change in tone:
'Breeder Su, it's you! You're back?'
This was someone who couldn't hide his excitement, and his tone of voice gave it away.
'That's right. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've been a bit busy lately.'
'No worries, no worries. I've selected a few suitable candidates, Breeder Su. Do you have time to come to the Imperial Capital...?'
Su Ping felt a bit overwhelmed. He thought for a moment and said, 'I really don't have time recently. How about this, President Peng, I absolutely trust your judgment. You can directly select a suitable candidate and send them over.'
Or, if possible, you can have them come to Wanling Heart once.'
'Alright, then!'
After a few pleasantries, President Peng ultimately decided to personally bring the three final members he had chosen and make a trip to Wanling Heart in a few days.
Su Ping understood that if he were to choose himself, there would inevitably be some subjectivity, and it wouldn't be easy to explain once they were at his place.
In reality, although Su Ping might not have as much experience as those candidates, his reputation was too big to ignore.
Moreover, it was just a matter of time. Su Ping was still confident that given some time and with the help of his golden finger, becoming a master breeder would be a piece of cake.
With this thought, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
After arranging everything, he felt more at ease.
Then, after reviewing the events of the past few days, he closed his eyes.
A knock on the door startled him awake.
Su Ping opened his eyes and checked the time.
It was 9:00 pm. He had returned to Wanling Heart in the morning, and now it was evening.
No one had disturbed his sleep, and this was the most comfortable rest he had in a while.
After all, no place could compare to the comfort of one's own home.
The knock on the door energized him. He got dressed and opened the door.
The person who entered was none other than Meng Yan, who had just finished his awakening.
However, at this moment, Meng Yan's face was filled with fatigue, and in his hand was a thick stack of white papers.
Su Ping understood what was happening. His eyelids twitched.
He had a premonition that the sleep he had just woken up from might be the best and last good sleep he would get in the coming days.
Nevertheless, he wasn't the least bit annoyed or frustrated. Instead, he was excited. He turned to Meng Yan:
'All done?'
Meng Yan's fatigue indicated that he hadn't rested at all during the past few hours after awakening, and he had been working tirelessly on his breakthrough.
He had been using his spiritual energy to imprint this thing non-stop.
Meng Yan nodded:
'Yes, Breeder Su. Take a look at this. I need to rest now. As for going to the Dragon City in the Imperial Capital, there's no rush. I can go there myself when the time comes.'
Su Ping's entire attention was focused on the papers, so he didn't notice what Meng Yan said. He nodded eagerly.
After taking the papers, he didn't even notice when Meng Yan left. He returned to his desk:
'Feifei, turn on the lights!'
The room lit up, and a stack of neatly arranged drawings caught his eye.
Su Ping estimated that there were less than twenty pages, starting from the first one.
The densely packed papers made his head spin.
Even Su Ping felt dizzy.
However, in order to quickly absorb the Wanling Catalogue and initiate the golden finger plan, Su Ping gritted his teeth and read each word carefully.
It had to be said that this thing was incomprehensible to him.
All the words, numbers, and formulas he saw didn't make sense when put together.
Fortunately, Su Ping was a practical person.
Most of the things he didn't understand were clarified with Feifei's assistance. Whenever he had doubts, he would search for answers immediately.
Finally, after starting from 9:00 pm on the first day and continuing until 11:00 pm on the second day,
Su Ping finally finished reading the twenty pages of drawings.
And the prompt he had been waiting for from the Wanling Catalogue finally appeared:
[Mechanical Beast Special Evolution Breeding Method discovered. The current breeding method is incomplete and requires 10,000 points of general experience to perfect!]
