Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 661: Chapter 304: The Scent of Spring Herbs! The Shock of the Snake Saint’s Soul!

The sky was a clear azure, bathed in warm sunlight.

It was nearing April, and although Beiyuan Province was the northernmost province of Dragon Nation, it was still a human habitat, albeit barely suitable for living.

Therefore, over the past half-month, the chill that permeated the air had gradually thinned.

After yesterday’s spring rain, one could unmistakably feel the weather warming.

At the base of the Rong Family ancestral hall’s steps stood over twenty young descendants of the Rong Family, including Su Ping.

Each face was flushed with anticipation and excitement.

At this very moment, standing in the large courtyard of the Rong Family, Su Ping also comfortably narrowed his eyes.

His mood was indeed quite good.

The reason was simple: over the past few days, some of the Mental Category resources Su Ping had requested from the Beiyuan Legion had arrived.

Among these were resources to assist his own Realm breakthrough; relying on their use, Su Ping had broken through to Commander Fourth Order just yesterday.

At the same time, Qian Yi, who had been diligently cultivating, also improved his strength to Commander Third Order, catching up with Xiao Qing and evening the playing field.

It had to be said, Su Ping had once thought this pace was quite fast. But after witnessing Xiao Qing’s explosive improvement, he wondered for the first time if the Paperman Qian Yi, already a genius, was progressing at a merely acceptable rate?

After all, at lower Realm Levels, Pet Beasts’ Levels would see a huge increase after each Evolution.

This time, with so much gained and benefited from Beiyuan, once they returned to the Heart of Myriad Spirits and Xiao Qing completed her Evolution, she would likely create a significant Realm gap with Qian Yi.

Of course, as always, in terms of combat ability, Su Ping still had more confidence in Qian Yi.

Speaking of Evolution, over these days, the Light of Evolution shimmering on Xiao Qing’s body was not quite solid, but it was similar to when Qian Yi was on the verge of Evolving, flickering every ten seconds or so.

Having Biyao Chunshen close by was enough. The mere effect of this peculiar Legendary Level resource could saturate Xiao Qing’s aura. This would allow her to complete her Evolution with sufficient Energy, aided by Biyao Chunshen’s aura.

Thinking about the various plans for when he returned home, Su Ping showed a hint of a smile, even finding Rong Mang rather more pleasing to the eye.

Rong Mang clearly misunderstood the meaning behind Su Ping’s gaze.

Meeting Su Ping’s gaze, he smiled slightly and said, "Cousin, you don’t seem to fully understand our Rong Family’s Five Saints Secret Realms, do you? This legacy has been passed down since the Liang Dynasty. It’s one of the reasons our Rong Family has stood firm through dynastic changes to this day!"

Indeed, Su Ping was aware of the Liang Dynasty heritage. Today’s Rong Family had been passed down for hundreds of years, with a profound and deep foundation.

Compared to the Dong Family, the Mirror Saint Family from Jianghai, they seemed to be much stronger.

And more crucially, the Rong Family had survived until now, and the fact that the family still had so many members was, in some ways, proof that their foundations had not been damaged by previous events.

Su Ping nodded. "Speaking of which, why do Eggs of the Five Saints appear in the Five Saints Secret Realms every so many years?"

Rong Mang had nothing to hide.

"My father told me that within the Five Saints Secret Realms, there are Five Saint Tribes: spiders, snakes, centipedes, toads, and scorpions. Each tribe is home to various creatures, none exceeding the Monarch Level.

"Within the Five Great Tribes, each tribe has a special Five Saints Statue! These statues are the true core of the Five Saints Secret Realms! It is said that the souls of five Spirit Saint Level Poison Type Pet Beasts are nurtured within them.

"As long as we wear our Rong Family insignia, these tribes will not attack us! About every hundred years, when the power of the Five Saints’ Spirits in the statues reaches its Peak, the Five Saint Tribes will bring all the Pet Beast eggs of that generation to the Five Saints Statues.

"Through the enhancement from the Five Saints’ Spirits, one egg will become one of the true Eggs of the Five Saints! Simultaneously, the Pet Beast larva within that egg will undergo a radical qualitative improvement, becoming a complete Spirit Saint Level Pet Beast larva!"

Rong Mang’s explanation was quite detailed, but Su Ping’s confusion was not much alleviated.

So, that’s how the Eggs of the Five Saints are born?

Why do the Five Saints’ Spirits possess such power?

Is it because of this bizarre Secret Realm?

"So, typically, whenever a new generation of Eggs of the Five Saints is about to appear, the family will procure some already high-Rank Five Poisons eggs and place them among the Five Saint Tribes. This is in the hope that after one evolves into an Egg of the Five Saints, the resulting Pet Beast’s maximum birth Rank can be further elevated!

"And our trip inside isn’t just a formality. Although only five Eggs of the Five Saints appear in the same batch within the Five Saints Secret Realms, the other Pet Beast egg larvae that don’t transform into Eggs of the Five Saints also gain some benefits from the enhancement of the Five Saints’ Spirits.

"If some clan members lack Pet Beast contracts and their Abilities are recognized as sufficient, they can also take one. Moreover, generally speaking, there are also some Poison System Resources available for picking within the Secret Realm."

Su Ping nodded. He had no interest in any Poison System Resources or those other Pet Beast eggs playing second fiddle. The main reason he had stayed with the Rong Family these past few days was to wait for the birth of the Eggs of the Five Saints.
