Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1355: Chapter 554: Enlightenment Technique! Return to the Imperial Capital!

Su Ping’s eyes were tightly closed as the fluctuations of his spiritual power slowly settled. He had stayed at the Rong family’s home for a full three days. He wasn’t in a hurry to completely absorb the Netherworld God Mark using the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas. It wasn’t that he coveted that power, but rather he worried the absorption and refinement process might take too long and delay his return trip. It wouldn’t be too late to absorb it without any worries after returning to the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

For the past three days, he hadn’t done anything else; he had been entirely focused on one thing: Spiritual Meditation. His trip to the Heavenly Tomb had allowed him to break through two realms in quick succession. More importantly, one of them was a Great Realm breakthrough. Even though his Meditation Talent was extraordinary, he still had to carefully repair and consolidate his foundation, lest his spiritual power be too unstable for future breakthroughs.

For three days, no one disturbed him. This time, the Legend of the Holy Dragon had personally come to support him. He didn’t even use any special methods, opting instead to directly suppress the situation with martial force, ensuring the division of the Rong family was completed as quickly as possible. His prestige was further manifested.

As for the Legend of the Holy Dragon, Su Ping actually knew his whereabouts these past few days. Such a massive upheaval had occurred in the northern Heavenly Tomb. Most importantly, after Su Ping left, he had used the Bone Throne to control the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land, severing its connection with the Soul Furnace. Consequently, the miraculous properties of the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land were gradually vanishing. Soon, it would turn into nothing more than a zone with a slightly denser aura of Undead Energy. The Death Fog, which was capable of isolating the suppression of other Holy Spirit Peaks against the Legendary Level, would also completely dissipate under these circumstances.

Therefore, the Legend of the Holy Dragon was personally handling the arrangements for the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land. In the future, the Dragon Nation was expected to incorporate the hundreds and thousands of miles of the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land in Beiyuan Province into its national territory. If the Undead Series resources in this area could be properly utilized, it would bring immense benefits and improvements to the beastmasters of Beiyuan and even the entire north. It would benefit both the nation and its people.

However, Su Ping felt his own methods were still too immature for such matters, so he let that legendary figure handle it. Before leaving, he just needed to visit the Soul Furnace once more and use the Bone Throne to make some final adjustments.

Stretching lazily, Su Ping slowly walked out of his room. The warm winter sun hung high in the sky. Now in December, the chill of Beiyuan Province had deepened by three degrees. The freezing wind was piercing.

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

Around this time last December, he had been preparing to go to the Magic Capital to participate in the National Breeder Competition. As for this year... well, he might still go. However, according to what Zhu Hong had told him before, it was highly likely that he would be attending as a judge this time.

Before Su Ping could fully process his nostalgia, a surprised yet conflicted voice echoed in his ear. "Cousin, have you finished your seclusion?"

It was none other than Rong Mang—the older cousin who had been studying at Bingyuan Academy and missed the family division three days prior.

Rong Mang looked at his cousin with mixed emotions. It wasn’t because of the rapid skyrocketing of this younger cousin’s status, power, and strength, despite him being a year or two younger. It was purely because of one thing!

Damn it all! During the family division, with just one sentence, Su Ping had promised their cousin Chan’er another Dragon Pet in the future! One had to know that Rong Chan hadn’t even officially completed her Awakening for her Talent and Beast Taming Space yet. She couldn’t even form a Soul Contract with a pet beast! Yet despite that, she already had an Erosion Moon Toad with a guaranteed Spirit Saint Level. And on top of that, a Dragon for her second pet beast. What kind of absurd treatment was this?

Of course, Su Ping favored Chan’er; anyone with eyes could see that. But then there was Rong Zhu. Although that kid hadn’t reaped any substantial material benefits, he had shamelessly stuck around and actually managed to get a group photo with that esteemed figure at the very end. Who would have thought! That brat Rong Zhu, usually acting all arrogant and smug, wasn’t foolish at all when it counted. A photo with a figure like that—forget posting it on social media; even keeping it hidden and pulling it out to admire on sleepless nights was an immense pleasure.

But what about him?! What about him?! They were all members of the Rong family, all Su Ping’s cousins. Yet as the eldest brother among them, he had walked away completely empty-handed. Let alone that esteemed figure, he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Su Ping in the two days since he had taken sick leave from Bingyuan Academy and rushed back. Who could endure such a thing?

But then again, maybe this was just fate. Fortunately, he wasn’t completely without gains. When Su Ping handed over the Five Poisons Spirit Refining Meditation method to them, he hadn’t restricted its inheritance. He had explicitly stated that anyone from their grandfather’s lineage could learn it. Upon returning this time, Rong Mang had at least managed to grasp the basics. The value and effects of a Meditation Method were of extraordinary significance.

"You’re back, cousin?" Su Ping smiled, then added, "By the way, did our grandfather and uncle tell you about the family matters?"

Rong Mang quickly replied, "I heard. I’ve already spoken to the academy and arranged everything. I’ll go to Dianzang with you all; I might take a leave of absence for a while to see if there’s anything I can help with. I’ll come back and finish my courses later."

Su Ping nodded. "Sounds good. Grandfather should have his luggage packed by now, right? We’ll probably be heading out today."
