Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1242 - 510: The Name of the God of Spring! Heart of Soul Opens!

But for the old woman before him to willingly give up the Elixir of Immortality in exchange for a single leaf of the World Tree? She obviously knew something.

After all, this was just a single leaf, not the entire World Tree.

Speaking of this, Su Ping added another joke, "Could it be that the World Tree is really a Mythical Level resource?"

The old lady certainly did not laugh at his words. Instead, her expression became extremely serious. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Su Ping, the Connor Family is the breeding family with the most profound understanding and the deepest history of the Plant System. My sister, Earlsleen Connor, was one of the most outstanding Breeders the Connor Family has seen in a millennium.

"Since this matter involves you, there is no harm in my telling you.

"According to the previous research done by my sister and past members of the Connor Family, the World Tree is related to an Ancient Times Mythical Level existence on Blue Star! You should know that countless years ago, Mythical Level Pet Beasts existed on Blue Star, right?"

Su Ping raised an eyebrow and nodded. At the same time, his heart stirred as he wondered if the final, paper-thin veil of mystery was finally about to be pierced today.

The old woman paused and continued, "Blue Star did have Mythical Level entities during the Ancient Times. However, even in that era, Mythical Level beings weren’t a dime a dozen. Under such circumstances, that Plant System Mythical existence seemed to be a powerhouse even among the many Mythical Level Pet Beasts.

"And the World Tree is very likely the physical remains left behind by that Plant System Mythical being!"

Su Ping pursed his lips. "Do you and the Connor Family mean that the World Tree is very likely that previous Plant System Mythical being?"

"Yes and no. It might be the husk of that Plant System Mythical being, you should understand! At the same time, the World Tree might have also inherited the legacy of that Mythical Level existence’s most powerful Rule Power," the old woman explained.

At this moment, Su Ping suddenly saw the light.

So that was it.

After thinking for a moment, he asked another question. "Madam, what is the name of that Plant System Mythical existence?"

"The God of Spring!" the old woman replied without a second thought.

Su Ping was momentarily in a daze as he softly repeated the name, "The God of Spring..."

...

Several days passed in a flash.

Olivia Connor did not stay long at the Heart of Myriad Spirits. After two days, she returned to the Imperial Capital. It was said that the two Spirit Saint Level experts who had arrived in the Imperial Capital from the Lion Nation were getting a bit anxious from waiting.

However, during these two days, Su Ping and this Sun Never Sets Noble old lady were mostly together, even if they weren’t exactly inseparable.

The old woman was indeed worthy of being crowned a Grandmaster Plant System Breeder. Previously, in terms of the Plant System, Su Ping had largely relied on the help of his Golden Finger and Biyao Chunshen. Now, with the old lady’s arrival, his understanding and breeding techniques for the Plant System and various Spirit Lands had greatly improved, especially regarding the finer details and the advanced breeding of fundamental theories.

So much so that when she left, Su Ping was actually a little reluctant to see her go.

However, during this time, aside from breeding knowledge, the old lady had also obtained some promises and assistance from him. She was particularly interested in the carving of the Life Embryo. Ultimately, bound by the reserve and elegance of an old Sun Never Sets Noble, she was too embarrassed to openly ask for it.

Instead, she took a different approach. She paid an astronomical price of two full Spirit Saint Level Plant System resources to purchase one of the Life Embryos he had finished carving. A Monarch Level Life Embryo had been processed into a trade for two Spirit Saint Level resources. No transaction in this world could be more profitable.

As for whether the old lady could analyze his carving techniques, Su Ping didn’t care. It was impossible to keep this item in his hands forever; eventually, it had to be sold and used externally. If he was afraid to use it just because of that, wouldn’t it be like refusing to eat for fear of choking?

Besides, Su Ping had a distinct feeling. Even if he taught someone hand-in-hand and helped them learn with his spiritual power, others would still likely find it difficult to master, let alone figuring it out by studying a physical object. If they really did manage to successfully research it, Su Ping wouldn’t be able to stop them anyway.

However, the old woman wasn’t this generous without her own conditions. After this, the Heart of Myriad Spirits gained a new permanent resident.

That’s right, it was none other than the granddaughter who hadn’t been able to get a word in earlier—the one originally poised to inherit the Connor Family’s title in the future, Ms. Ilo Connor.

Su Ping couldn’t help but feel that the old woman leaving her eldest granddaughter behind was somewhat akin to the ancient practice of exchanging ’Protons’. However, the official story was that she was studying abroad under him for two and a half years to further analyze extinct Plant-based Pet Beasts.

Su Ping didn’t refuse. After all, this involved the cooperation between the Dragon Nation and the Connor Family, so this small matter wasn’t much of a sacrifice. Furthermore, obtaining a free Plant System Breeder workforce at the Advanced Breeder level was always a good thing.

During these two days, another rather interesting event occurred.

Li Shu and Shangguan Ye, who had been missing for over a week, finally returned from the Linzhou City Center.

The former could be said to have ’returned home in glory’. This guy had not only successfully completed the evolutionary breeding of the Luozisong Pine, but he himself had also become an Elite Peak Level Beastmaster. At his age, this was a rather impressive achievement.

Furthermore, during this time, Shangguan Ye had truly been teaching this fellow attentively. Over at the Breeder Association, he had even allowed this guy to master the layout and breeding of one of Shangguan Ye’s Spirit Lands.
