Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 590: Chapter 273: Lighting Up the Divine Dragon Codex! Special Talent!

Vines and weeds were woven together, and beneath his feet was a sheer hundred-meter drop into the void.

Indeed, although Su Ping had already mastered the Levitation Skill and developed a certain immunity to such heights, actually walking on it still brought about an indescribable feeling. This sensation was quite magical, somewhat akin to a glass walkway. In this densely forested world, one could almost forget they were in the sky, feeling instead as if they were in a woodland expanse where heaven and earth intertwined.

However, there were also some issues. The branches and sprawling vegetation, despite forming a foundation for this city in the treetops, were too chaotic and disorganized.

If it were merely for avian Pet Beasts to dwell here, it naturally wouldn’t matter. But since Master Zhu possessed such an incredibly favorable environment, Su Ping obviously had every reason to cherish and utilize it properly.

It will need to be rearranged eventually.

Such a city in the treetops, with its spectacular views, was even more stunning than the botanical gardens of Forest Heart.

After descending from the treetop city within the Heart of Phoenix and returning to Buddha’s Hand Cliff, Zhu Hong said with a faint smile, "Da Huang’s evolution is complete. It’s time for me to leave Linzhou."

Although Su Ping had been prepared for this, he still felt a little reluctant to part ways. This Master Zhu had helped him tremendously. Take the Paperman’s Heart of Elements, for instance. Master Zhu undoubtedly deserved most of the credit for the Paperman managing to cultivate its Five Elements Body in such a short time.

Additionally, Master Zhu had provided much other assistance. For Su Ping, these past two-plus months had been a period of rapid advancement in his cultivation knowledge. The experience and insight of a Breeding Master—especially one like Master Zhu, who specialized in a major category like the Elemental Type—were the most precious treasure to Su Ping.

But regardless, as a vice president of the Breeder Association, it didn’t make sense for him to remain indefinitely in a small place like Linzhou.

Therefore, Su Ping sincerely asked, "When are you planning to leave?"

"Right away!"

"So soon?" Su Ping was somewhat surprised.

Zhu Hong rubbed Da Huang’s large head, and the latter narrowed its eyes in contentment. The excitement of completing its evolution, and the prospect of finally returning to Dragon City to show that damned female Dragon how the tables could turn—Da Huang’s joy was palpable.

"I’ve already been here for quite a while. Due to the matter of the Paperman, I was delayed for a long time, so naturally, I need to hurry now," Zhu Hong remarked.

This time, the two didn’t descend via Forest Heart. For Da Huang, having completed its breakthrough, there was no quicker way than to fly directly.

And so, still at Buddha’s Hand Cliff, Su Ping smiled as he saw him off. "I wish you a smooth journey. This is a gift from me!"

Su Ping took out a journal. It was none other than the journal on the Way of the Five Elements, transcribed by Xue Hongluan, which he had acquired from the Zhang Family Brothers. It was written entirely in Ancient Serpentine Script. Su Ping had already memorized it thoroughly and understood most of the Serpentine Script within. For Su Ping, the journal was no longer of much help or significance. Now, it was the perfect gift for this Breeding Master. As a Breeding Master of the Elemental Series, the Way of the Five Elements was undoubtedly worth delving into.

Zhu Hong was slightly startled as he looked at the journal Su Ping had prepared. He truly hadn’t expected Su Ping to have prepared a gift for him. He didn’t stand on ceremony, however. He accepted it but didn’t hasten to leave. Instead, he thought for a moment before speaking, "Su Ping, before I leave, let me ask you one last thing. Don’t feel pressured; just tell me whatever you’re truly thinking."

Su Ping nodded.

Zhu Hong took a deep breath. "Regarding the Paperman, what are your future plans?"

Indeed, Zhu Hong had been wrestling with whether to ask Su Ping this question for some time. The matter was simply too significant.

Su Ping fell silent for a moment, then after some thought, he said, "Actually, I had already figured out the Paperman’s standard evolution before this Breeding Contest even started. The reason I haven’t announced it is because I need the Paperman for something I’m going to do in Beiyuan Province."

"Beiyuan... That’s for the selection of the Special Beast Taming Forces, isn’t it?"

Su Ping was taken aback and looked at Zhu Hong. "You know?"

"I’m a Breeding Master, so of course, I know. In fact, the Ghost Saint approached the Breeder Association about this previously, but it didn’t concern me directly. I don’t know much, just some basic details. Old Yin is the one handling it!"

"Old Yin?"

"Yes, he’s also a senior in the association... well, a predecessor at least twice my age. These Beast Tamers of the Necromancy System always find strange, unnatural ways to extend their lives, becoming neither human nor ghost," Zhu Hong remarked, smacking his lips. "I see. So, your Paperman is intended for that selection? And after that? What are your plans for the Paperman?"

Clearly, since Zhu Hong had brought it up, he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Su Ping responded directly this time, "If possible, I could announce the Paperman’s evolutionary cultivation path at next year’s Breeding Contest, or perhaps find a more suitable time to reveal it to the public. It wouldn’t require Breeder Association points for redemption! This way, all the common folk of Dragon Nation could have their Papermen evolve!"
