Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 784 - 341 The Legend Calls for the Mirror of Light! Origami Man Record Upgrade!_2

Some Talents may indeed seem trivial, but at specific times, they can certainly prove effective.

These Talents are wasted on him.

"Su Ping, tell me more. What other thoughts do you have? I can try them out slowly," Mirror Sky, the Mirror of Reflecting Heavens, asked.

Su Ping came back to his senses. Looking at the expectant Mirror Saint, he considered for a moment:

"Lady Mirror Sky, my knowledge of the Mirror Realm is limited, and I’m not sure if some of my ideas will be meaningful."

"Just tell me. I’ll judge for myself."

Only then did Su Ping say:

"I want to ask, in your Mirror Realm, is there a concept of time?"

"The concept of time? You mean the rising and setting of the sun? That exists," the pink-haired girl nodded, obviously confident in her Mirror Realm that was a perfect replica of the real world.

However, Su Ping shook his head:

"Time is not just about the sun rising and the moon setting. It is the eternal movement of matter, the continuity and sequentiality of change. What I mean is, with the passage of time in the Mirror Realm, are there changes beyond the cycle of day and night?"

"For example..."

"For example, the most common aspect: even Pet Beasts age and die. In the reflections within the Mirror Realm, will there be Pet Beasts that grow old and die? Will plants sprout and grow roots as time goes on?"

This question made Mirror Sky fall into contemplation.

Reflection, shadow... everything in the Mirror Realm is not like in Secret Realms, where items can be freely taken out.

One can bring lively, active Pet Beasts into the Mirror Realm.

The reason nearly no living person besides Su Ping has entered the Mirror Realm is precisely because the Rules of the Mirror Realm dictate this.

Then, if everything reflected in the Mirror Realm remains at the moment of reflection, how could such a world ever be considered real?

Clearly, Su Ping was only responsible for raising the question. How to solve it was not his concern.

After all, the Mirror Realm itself had nothing to do with him.

"Excellent! Su Ping, your question is very constructive. Next, I will work hard in this direction and give it a try," Mirror Sky nodded.

However, according to the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, the unprecedented 1,000,000 Experience Points required for this upgrade indicated it was probably not that simple.

The difficulty in achieving it was indeed significant.

The pink-haired, anime-like girl stared at Su Ping, and suddenly, her eyes glinted:

"Su Ping, what do you think of little Xuan Xuan’s granddaughter?"

Hmm?

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. "Sister Yun? She’s pretty good. Although there were some conflicts of interest at the beginning, after they were resolved, there wasn’t much to it. Also, Dong Muyun is very capable and excels at management. Without her, the Heart of Myriad Spirits probably wouldn’t have developed to this point."

This wasn’t mere flattery from Su Ping; Dong Muyun’s Pingyun had been of immense help to him.

The ample cash flow meant Su Ping didn’t have to worry about money.

It also provided a suitable sales channel for those inventions amenable to mass production.

Mirror Sky narrowed her eyes. "Not only that. Setting others aside, the Dong Family’s genes are good, and that young lady is pretty too. How about it? Why not become the Dong Family’s son-in-law?"

Su Ping almost choked, nearly biting his tongue.

But Mirror Sky continued without a care:

"The Dong Family may seem weak now, but they have their heritage—they’re mainly consolidating their strength. Here’s the deal: if you become the Dong Family’s son-in-law, I’ll speak up for you. You can directly become the next Family Head of the Dong Family! How about that?"

"I..."

"Don’t worry, little Xuan would probably be more than happy. As for his useless son, if he dares to disagree, just relegate him to guard the gate..."

Hearing her words, Su Ping was momentarily caught between laughter and tears.

"Let’s forget it. I’m really not interested in this. Thank you, Lady Mirror Sky, for your kind intentions. If you don’t find me bothersome, I can always visit you when I’m free," Su Ping said with a smile.

"Well, alright then. What a pity. In all these years, there haven’t been many human Beast Tamers who have caught my eye. If you’re unwilling, then so be it..."

After a moment of thought, Mirror Sky extended her hand. Within the Mirror Realm, a light flashed, and a peculiar little mirror appeared in her hand, which she then handed to Su Ping:

"Seeing as you seem quite interested in Mirrors of Reflection, making so many of them—although they’re easy to maintain, cultivating them can be quite troublesome. This is one of the specialized Cultivation Skills for Mirrors of Reflection, and it’s also one of my favorite Skills. I’m giving it to you."

Huh?

As his gaze fell upon the mirror surface, a line of text came into view:

"Mirror of Light"

The name was simple, but the effect was anything but!

Even when he saw the introduction to this Skill, Su Ping couldn’t help but become intrigued:

[Condenses Energy with light to create an identical Mirror of Reflection. This new mirror can coordinate with the condensed Mirror of Light for corresponding Skills. The power of many Mirrors of Reflection’s Abilities will be greatly enhanced and altered through refraction with the Mirror of Light.]

Su Ping, supporting his chin, looked at the description of the Skill. It indeed reminded him of an Ability... the Demonic Ice Crystal Mirror.

With this thought, Su Ping gladly accepted:

"Thank you, Lady Mirror Sky, for your generosity. If there is anything else you need my help with, please feel free to ask me directly."

"That’s plenty. Your ideas today give me enough to experiment with for a while. As for you, feel free to visit me when you have time. Alright, let me take you out of here first."

As the pink-haired girl finished speaking, a mirror appeared before them. They stepped into it and, sure enough, returned to the Mirror Realm within the Heart of Soul’s Reflected World.

Stepping out from the Reflected World, Su Ping let out a sigh.

He glanced at the Cultivation Method for the Mirror of Light in his hand, feeling a bit dazed. Su Ping mused, a bit narcissistically.

But soon, he refocused his mind.

After putting the Mirror of Light Cultivation Method into the safe, he returned to the Righteous Mansion Spirit Hall to continue playing with the Papermen.

This interruption had occurred, but now that the matter was resolved, he naturally had to refocus his efforts.

The first thing he did upon returning was to immerse his consciousness back into the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, this time focusing specifically on the Origami Man Record:

[Origami Man Record Catalog Experience: 20,003/20,000! Requirements met for Catalog upgrade. Proceed with upgrade?]

[Yes!]
