Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 916 - 386: The Whereabouts of the Elixir of Immortality and Meng Huangliang’s Condition!

The Legendary Lord's demeanor shifted as he spoke, adopting a tone of juicy gossip:

"Within the Hall Level Super Rank Skills, there exists a Wood Element Super-Rank Skill known as 'Matrix of Life Forest'! This is held by a female Breeder named Earlsleen Connor from the Lion Nation!"

Su Ping immediately recalled who it was:

"You mean the female Breeding Master notorious for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, the one the Beastmaster Troops worldwide were hunting?"

The Legend of the Holy Dragon showed no surprise at Su Ping's knowledge, instead responding with disdain:

"'War crimes against humanity' is merely rhetoric from the Lion Nation's Royal Family. Back then, not only were various countries involved, but so were some Ferocious Beast Empires. Their motives weren't purely about maintaining peace, but also about personal gain. Naturally, our Dragon Nation was no different."

Su Ping's curiosity piqued: "Oh? Why so?"

"It is true that Earlsleen Connor was the discoverer of the Elixir of Immortality, and she seized and mastered it.

It is speculated that this exceptionally powerful Hall Level Super Rank Skill, the Matrix of Life Forest, was cultivated primarily using this very Elixir of Immortality.

Initially, this female Breeder maintained a low profile. However, she was later exposed for reasons unknown. Subsequently, Her Majesty from the Lion Nation Royal Family, seeking to extend the royal lineage,

commanded her to surrender the Elixir of Immortality. This demand was firmly rejected by the latter, leading to the disaster known as Green Forest."

After a brief pause, the man continued his tale:

"The peacekeeping troops of all nations were, of course, also after the legendary hidden Wood Element Life-based Resource, the Elixir of Immortality.

Eventually, the Matrix of Life Forest was completely destroyed. The female breeder, finding herself with no other recourse, struck a deal with the royal family, handing over the Elixir of Immortality to them.

In return, the Connor Family, to which the female breeder belonged, became an 'Iron Hat' family within the Lion Nation, holding the esteemed position of custodian of the Imperial Library for decades.

Furthermore, the Connor Family ascended to leadership within the Breeder World of the Lion Nation, with each generation receiving hereditary titles bestowed by the Royal Family.

It is highly probable that the Matrix of Life Forest skill is still in adept hands, and with the Elixir of Immortality, it might have yielded significant results.

This explains why, despite their declining status and strength over the years, very few dare to provoke the Lion's den. Although, I've recently heard that the West is experiencing some turmoil?

Apparently, a group united by religious faith has established a Nation of Faith. Quite intriguing."

The man freely divulged these world-shattering secrets with a bold bravado.

Honestly, if it didn't directly concern him, Su Ping rather enjoyed indulging in such chaotic gossip.

However, the current predicament was clearly not the time for idle chatter.

Matrix of Life Forest? Earlsleen Connor? The Lion Nation Royal Family?

His mind was now solely focused on how to obtain the Elixir of Immortality!

Who knew if the Biyao Chunshen would renege on their promise if he failed to deliver?

Could he possibly take the elder from Biyao Chunshen to the Lion Nation and steal it?

It sounded incredibly unreliable, yet it was the only remotely feasible idea Su Ping could conjure.

He shook his head; such a drastic measure should only be attempted as a last resort.

For the time being, the Elixir of Immortality seemed utterly out of reach.

With a sense of helplessness, he turned his gaze back to the Legendary Lord of the Holy Dragon, who seemed insatiable for more gossip, and posed another question:

"Legendary Lord, I have another inquiry. May I ask, is Elder Meng Huangliang still with us?"

Upon hearing this, the man, who had been reveling in the conversation, frowned slightly but quickly composed himself:

"Meng Yan, naturally, would not perish; the Dragon Nation and I would certainly not allow it.

However, there are times when the distinction between being alive and dead is negligible, or rather, when living can be far worse than dying."

Su Ping paused, sensing the implication in his words:

"Elder Meng's condition is not good, is it?"

The Legend of the Holy Dragon nodded gravely:

"Indeed. The Psychic Element Domain is exceptionally unique and shrouded in mystery, as evidenced by the intricate nature of Beastmaster talents.

During a mission, Meng Yan was exposed, and while attempting Enter Dream, he suffered sabotage. Despite his swift reaction, the opponent managed to leave a peculiar mark.

Had the opponent not intended to keep Meng Yan alive, perhaps to exploit him for secrets from the Dragon Nation, he would have met his end already.

Nevertheless, thanks to the contingency measures he had in place and my personal intervention, he was barely salvaged. However, his mental state has been severely compromised for many years now."

He truly is a prodigy; despite initial objections during the planning of this mission, they were unfortunately overruled.

Are you more interested in him, or perhaps the skill 'Enter Dream'?"

In matters between nations, there's no such thing as right or wrong; Su Ping understood such tactics, though he hadn't expected this individual's circumstances to be so dire.

"Even you are powerless?"

"Su Ping, the perception of the spirit involves the unification and comprehension of one's will. Jade Dreamland and I have exerted considerable effort, but to no avail. He himself cannot differentiate between reality and the dream world, yet paradoxically, he maintains the heightened vigilance and awareness typical of seasoned spies. He knows he's been discovered and has sealed himself off.

Even the 'Enter Dream' cultivation method cannot elicit the information from him.

The Dragon Nation cannot resort to methods like Soul Search on a national hero, so I advise you not to waste your time."

The man offered this piece of advice quite rarely.

It was evident that if even this capable individual found the situation perplexing, Meng Huangliang's predicament was indeed exceptionally grave.

Su Ping's lips tightened.

Impossible!

While the Elixir of Immortality may seem out of reach, he could not possibly return empty-handed; he had to at least make an attempt, no matter what.

With this thought settled, Su Ping turned to the man:

"I wonder where Elder Meng is staying? I wish to pay him a visit!"

The man peered at him deeply, then offered a smile:

"Very well, he is at the Fountain of Life Sanatorium in the Capital City, a rather ordinary facility. Go in my stead and visit him."

As he uttered these words, the man seemed somewhat dejected, letting out a long sigh before speaking again:

"Come, I will take you to see the Dragon Gate."
