Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1360: Chapter 556: Dragon City’s Treasury! A Dazzling Array!

Nor would it change because of anyone else’s will.

The Wolf Saint was the one who broke the silence: "Which area will Vice President Su Ping be in charge of?"

Everyone once again looked toward the Legend of the Holy Dragon.

The latter did not hesitate at all: "He has the authority to intervene in and alter all matters!"

At this moment, everyone’s expression changed.

However, the atmosphere settled back into silence. After exchanging a single glance, the Star Saint and Moon Saint disregarded the matter. They even closed their eyes directly, as if resting their minds.

As for the others, some frowned, while others looked astonished.

However, the Legend of the Holy Dragon at the head of the table seemed completely oblivious to this and calmly continued, "Since there are no objections, let’s vote by a show of hands."

Everyone continued to exchange glances. Then, to Su Ping’s absolute surprise, the three people he had never interacted with before raised their hands without a second thought—the Shadow Saint, as well as the Star Saint and Moon Saint residing above the starry sky.

Besides them, Leng Ye, Lady Liu, Sang Sheng, and the Ray Saint only leisurely raised their hands. As for the rest, even Yun Sheng hesitated slightly before finally raising his hand.

Right at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out. "Brother Xuan, isn’t it a bit too early?"

Clearly, the only person who could address him like this was Lord Wolf Saint.

Upon hearing these words, even Leng Ye looked at him in confusion. Obviously, in Leng Ye’s eyes, Su Ping was undoubtedly one of their own. He belonged to Old Wolf’s lineage.

The Legend of the Holy Dragon glanced at him. "It’s not too early. Just three days ago, at the age of twenty, Su Ping advanced to an Emperor Level Beastmaster! At the same time, his Paperman pet beast has fused with the sloughed remains of the Netherworld God.

"An ordinary Holy Spirit Level pet beast is no longer a match for that Paperman. In fact, in the time to come, it still has immense room for improvement!"

Strength!

As the saying goes, if one were a Breeder, no one would object regardless of how high their position was. However, in an advanced position as a Beastmaster, strength was of the utmost importance. Without strength, no one would be entirely convinced, not even the most genius of geniuses.

However, these words truly shocked everyone present.

A twenty-year-old Emperor Level Beastmaster was exceptionally rare in history, but not entirely unprecedented. But to say that someone who had just advanced possessed a pet beast capable of directly rivaling the Holy Spirit Level—that was truly unheard of.

With this statement, not only did everyone learn of Su Ping’s advancement, but more importantly, everyone saw this man’s attitude.

Hands were raised one after another. Even Saint Yuan of the Chen family, who appeared the most reluctant, had no choice but to raise his hand.

"Very well. Su Ping is still young, so he will need your help on many occasions. Moreover, he has told me that he won’t be staying in the Imperial Capital for now; in the future, his main base of operations will still be in Jianghai!"

The Legend of the Holy Dragon looked at Su Ping, and the latter hastily stood up. "Seniors, I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Whether they were willing or not, everyone managed to force out a smile.

"Alright. Having you all return this time is also to show you a massive achievement Su Ping accomplished recently! There wasn’t much time before, but the timing is perfect now..."

What the Legend of the Holy Dragon was referring to was the Dragon Nourishing Bamboo. The benefit this item provided to Dragon pets was unimaginable.

Everyone followed behind Su Ping for what could be considered the first systematic explanation.

By the time everything wrapped up, the sky outside had slowly darkened.

"Alright, you can all go about your business. Su Ping, I know what you’re thinking. Have Shadow take you to Dragon City’s treasury; the Dragon Slayer Sword is there. If you see anything else you like, you can pick two more items.

"Consider it my personal little extra reward for you pacifying the Heavenly Tomb this time!"

Su Ping’s eyes lit up, and he beamed with joy.

The Legend of the Holy Dragon wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he looked toward the Wolf Saint. "Old Wolf, wait a moment."

On the massive Dragon Ascending Platform, only the Wolf Saint and the Legend of the Holy Dragon remained. As if having anticipated this, the Wolf Saint looked at him calmly.

"What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with Su Ping, or are you dissatisfied?"

The old man shook his head. "This kid has the highest talent I’ve ever seen, even surpassing yours back then. He’s also the grandson of that little brat, Su Zhongguang. How could I be dissatisfied?"

"So, you think it’s too early?"

The old man nodded. "Once it’s established, no matter what, the news will leak out. When that happens..."

"Don’t worry. If he can’t even withstand this little storm, how will he be able to stand tall alongside the Dragon Nation in the coming era? The person I chose won’t be wrong!" The man’s supreme confidence made the old man nod.

"Fair enough. However, does that matter regarding the World Tree you mentioned last time really have something to do with this kid?"

"Of course. Why?"

"The root cause of the wolf pack’s annihilation back then lies within it. The small world of that World Tree is fraught with danger. The three western provinces—Xiliang Province, Ximo Province, and Xihai Province—are interconnected, and all three locations carry the rippling fluctuations of that small world. I suspect... the entrance to that small world is going to appear again!" the old man spoke with concern.

"It doesn’t matter. Let it appear, let it merge. When the time comes, you just need to keep an eye on it. Over on the Great Prairie, that old wolf will probably grow crazier with age. I’m afraid it won’t be as agreeable as the Gu Divine Wood. Its strength is also a cut above the Gu Divine Wood. Anyway, if any situation arises, let me know as soon as possible."

"Alright!"

Su Ping didn’t know about their casual chat, nor did he want to. At this very moment, he only had one thought in mind: to haul all the items before him back home!

A treasury existing as a standalone small dimension—what kind of concept was this?

Within Dragon City, this was the highest-level treasury belonging to the Legend of the Holy Dragon! All the rare treasures and supreme artifacts from the outside world seemed not worth mentioning in here, casually tossed aside. And the Dragon Slayer Sword was merely one of them.

Previously, Su Ping had felt this senior was being a bit stingy. Besides the Dragon Slayer Sword, he could only take two items? Wasn’t that a little too few?

But now, seeing all these things, he understood. It wasn’t few at all!

Because in here, he even saw Legendary Resources!

Such as Chaos Qi, an even higher-tier Legendary Resource than the Qi of Yin Yang.

Such as one of the Ice System’s Legendary Resources: Frost Cold Snow.

The Metal Element’s Legendary Resource: Mist Flowing Gold.

...

A dazzling array of items, and there were actually quite a few of them! Holy Spirit Level Resources and special treasure resources were simply innumerable.

The profound foundation of the Dragon Nation truly exceeded his imagination. And precisely because of this, he actually hesitated.

In truth, there was no one who wouldn’t want these items. Leaving everything else aside, there was one item he almost wanted to finalize on the spot! That item had left far too deep an impression on him. This thing might be useful to him in the future! And it was the kind that involved his contracted beast.

The Fusang Branch! A Fire-type Legendary Resource.

Back then, when Little Flame devoured the Flame Venerable Avatar, the visual memories he observed contained it. It was precisely this memory fragment that had activated the breeding of the Nanming Li Fire in the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas.

This also proved that in the future, if Little Flame wanted to perfectly breed and replicate the Nanming Li Fire, this Fusang Branch would be absolutely indispensable to it!

Yet, Su Ping still did not speak up.

He wasn’t entirely certain whether the future Little Flame would truly undergo evolution to become a Vermilion Bird, or if it really needed to master the Nanming Li Fire. Right now, the breeding phase of the Nanming Li Fire was merely at its beginning. He didn’t want to waste such an opportunity easily.

Thus, after wandering around for a large circle, Su Ping finally spoke to the Shadow Saint with extreme difficulty, "Senior Shadow Saint, could you please tell the Holy Dragon that I’ll put these items on hold for now and ask for them when I need them in the future? Is that okay?"

The Shadow Saint’s cold face showed no surprise as he nodded. "Alright. Since that’s the case, it won’t be too late for you to come back once you’ve made your selection."

Su Ping was taken aback. "You don’t need to inform the Holy Dragon?"

The Shadow Saint shook his head. "His Lordship said you would definitely wait until later to make your choice. Bringing you here this time was simply to let you have a look and broaden your horizons."

Su Ping’s lips twitched.

Carrying the sheathed Dragon Slayer Sword, he turned around and left.

He couldn’t stay in Dragon City or the Imperial Capital for even a second longer. It was too hurtful.

He was going home!
