Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1116 - 462: The Fruits of Biyao Chunshen! Deep-Rooted and Well Established! (2)

[Current Realm: Realm Breakthrough in Progress]

Sure enough.

The Old Tree’s own realm really completed a breakthrough.

And obviously, an Emperor Level pet beast’s realm breakthrough makes quite a bit of noise.

But what Su Ping actually cared about in this feedback was that particular entry marked as "Special Awakening in Progress."

Awakening what?

Then he thought of the Heart Essence Jade Biyao Chunshen had just asked for.

Su Ping was slightly stunned.

The Old Tree was going to awaken a Super-Rank skill?

Isn’t that just bullshit?

He’d never heard of the Life Ancient Tree having any Super-Rank racial skills.

The Life Ancient Tree was, after all, only a Monarch Level pet beast.

Some races whose potential went up to Emperor Level didn’t even have racial Super-Rank skills.

What could the Old Tree possibly have?

Besides, Heart Essence Jade should only be effective for certain fused Super-Rank skills.

For racial Super-Rank skills that were self-comprehended, like the Crown Wolf Emperor’s Thorn Garden back then, they could be instantly understood and used.

Su Ping looked doubtfully at Biyao Chunshen, but at that moment, he suddenly remembered something.

These past few days, the Mad Saint’s arrival had almost made him forget.

When he was cultivating the Fire Seed for the Little Flame, this fellow had asked for a massive pile of resources.

Could it be...

that he really pulled it off?

Using those resources to deduce a breeding method analogous to the Fire Seed of Fire Type pet beasts?

Su Ping’s eyes widened.

Seemingly sensing Su Ping’s astonishment, Biyao Chunshen’s flames swayed slightly, as if modestly saying "this is nothing."

Then, it continued to circle around the Old Tree with great interest.

It seemed the Heart Essence Jade had truly taken effect.

Very soon, a brilliant light blossomed over the Old Tree’s body.

Not only was there the glow of a realm breakthrough, there was also the fluctuation of comprehending a skill.

It really worked?

Su Ping’s gaze locked on, and sure enough.

The Old Tree, which had just been in "Special Awakening in Progress," no longer carried that tag.

At the same time, its realm had become Emperor Level 1.

Before Su Ping could look further, the Old Tree’s body swelled like rising water, expanding again.

Meanwhile, the vast canopy above it—its branches and leaves—turned incomparably lush and green.

The emerald-dripping leaves were one thing; even the spreading branches shifted from their former ocher-yellow to a faint dark green.

Its entire body had undergone a substantial change.

Next moment, the Spirit Vision Eye fed Su Ping its feedback:

[Mutated Ancient Life Tree (Wild)]

[Age: 52 years 3 months]

[Attribute: Wood, Life, Poison]

[Racial Potential: Emperor Second Rank]

[Skills: Super·Rooted (Beginner), Life Infusion (Perfection), Life (Highly Toxic) Ripple (Proficiency), Life Essence Condensation (Proficient), Sweet Rain (Proficient), Tree Demon Summon (Proficient), Forest’s Whisper (Proficient)...]

For real?

Su Ping blinked, a bit slow on the uptake.

He suddenly felt that Super-Rank skills were getting cheaper and cheaper.

He’d barely intervened at all—how did one just show up like that?

[Super·Rooted (Beginner): a powerful ability of plant-type—trees and vines—pet beasts. Only beasts that have existed for extremely long periods can, through the passage of years and their own growth, comprehend this skill.

Deep-Rooted: After the body of the tree dies, if more than one centimeter of root remains, it cannot be killed; it can regrow and resurrect. However, its movement speed is relatively reduced, and after every movement, it must re-"Take Root."

Rooted Firm: When on the earth, it can draw and feed back the earth’s nutrients, with extremely strong energy recovery. At the same time, all Wood Element skills are exerted with power one Level higher than the skill itself, but cannot reach "Divine Perfection" effects.]

Su Ping’s brows lifted again.

He’d seen this Super-Rank skill before!

In the Breeder Association’s database.

Back when he was researching how to breed Xiao Qing, he’d come across it.

The skill’s power had left quite an impression on him.

However, this skill could only be mastered by plant-type pet beasts. He’d taken one look back then and given up immediately.

He hadn’t expected to see it again now.

And it had appeared on the Old Tree out of nowhere.

How was this even done?

Of course, the Old Tree’s promotion wasn’t just that. Not to mention anything else, that "Life Essence Condensation"—if he remembered correctly, the Old Tree previously had "Fruit of Life Condensation."

A Monarch Level Life Ancient Tree could condense Commander Level resources, Fruits of Life.

After advancing to Emperor Level, the Old Tree could directly condense Monarch Level life-based resources, "Life Essence."

If it advanced to Spirit Saint Level, wouldn’t it be able to condense Emperor Level "Life Essence (High Grade)"?

No wonder people say plant-based pet beasts are treasure troves!

While Su Ping was inwardly delighted here, Biyao Chunshen, circling the Life Ancient Tree, slowly retreated. Its no-longer-moving body and the spirit fluctuations carrying scattered awareness—despite having no real facial features—were completely filled with disappointment.

It seemed the changes in the Life Ancient Tree didn’t satisfy it.

This still isn’t good enough?

Su Ping’s heart stirred, and he hastily said, "Senior, could it be that you used those resources I gave you back then..."

Biyao Chunshen nodded its unreal head.

It looked rather vexed at this failure.

But Su Ping’s heart suddenly felt wide open!

This wasn’t just anything!

What kind of resources had he given Biyao Chunshen back then?

Five Emperor Level Wood Element resources; the rest were just Wood Element Cores.

Even if all five Emperor Level resources were used up, to exchange them for something that lets pet beasts obtain a Super-Rank skill—Su Ping believed no one would refuse that deal!

What does cultivating a single Super-Rank skill represent? What kind of price?

Su Ping couldn’t be clearer.

Because after he participated in the Breeder Tournament, people often came looking for him.

Back then, for cultivating the Heart of the Sun, money had been the cheapest thing—if all they wanted was to throw money at him, the figures were beyond imagination.

Of course, while this Deep-Rooted and Well Established was good, it still couldn’t compare to the Heart of the Sun.

But it was already pretty damn good!

You have to know, a single Super-Rank skill—even something like Sword Intent Origin back then, that Spirit Saint Level Super-Rank skill—

Theoretically, once a pet beast used it, it could obtain the Super-Rank skill "Sword Intent."

But even though Sword Intent carried the "Super-Rank" name, there’s still a gap between different Super-Rank skills!

This kind of Super-Rank skill was undoubtedly bottom-tier trash.

Yet even so, the price and value of Sword Intent Origin still far exceeded a large portion of Spirit Saint Level treasure resources.

Its worth couldn’t even be measured purely in money.

On the market, Emperor Level resources, while also "priced but not truly available,"

generally went for around a billion; slightly rarer ones might double that.

If, at such a cost, he could create a resource-treasure that would grant "Deep-Rooted and Well Established" as a Super-Rank skill—

didn’t that mean he’d found the most suitable way to make a fortune in the short term?

Exactly—for a Breeder, cultivating pet beasts is always the fastest way to make money.

But every breeding method he mastered, every cultivation of a Super-Rank skill, demanded huge amounts of time and effort.

If it could be as simple as what he just saw, why would he still be racking his brain over how to get money?

If this method worked, forget making ten or eight of them—even just one would resolve his current financial crisis in no time.

This is a Super-Rank skill!

Even some slightly poorer Emperor Level Beastmasters couldn’t reach this domain!

At that thought, Su Ping’s eyes shone.

Then, looking at Biyao Chunshen, who seemed to be pondering what had gone wrong, he thought for a moment and directly said:

"Senior, are you attempting to use Wood Element methods to imitate the Fire Seed breeding of the Fire Element?"

Biyao Chunshen "looked" at Su Ping, thought for a bit, and nodded.

Su Ping pressed his lips together, then waved his hand:

"Senior, that Fire Seed is said to contain the Way to Godhood for Fire Type pet beasts! If your method succeeds, you’ll also be opening an ascension path for countless plant-system pet beasts!

For something that benefits the entire Pet Beast World this much, how could I possibly miss out? How about this—tell me how you did it before, and let me help you research it together!"

Biyao Chunshen’s body swayed gently. Those half-existent eyes looked at the righteous, high-minded human brat before it.

It couldn’t shake the feeling that this kid didn’t seem entirely well-intentioned.
