Sang Sheng continued nodding, "What's this, Master Zhu, have you been researching Mu Long recently?"

"Not just Mu Long," Zhu Hong replied. "I've been delving into many elemental dragons recently and have some ideas. Mu Long is quite a rare and special one among them! Although President Qin's Mu Long belongs to the Eastern Dragon Clan, that's not an issue. That's why I want to inquire and see if it might be possible to go to Linzhou and ask for President Qin's help when the time comes."

Zhu Hong spoke quite politely. He was, after all, a new and overwhelmingly strong Spirit Saint Level existence.

Sang Sheng also slightly furrowed her brow and asked, "What exactly do you need help with?"

Master Zhu looked a bit embarrassed. "Of course, it won't threaten the Mu Long's life safety! It requires some energy supply but, perhaps at times, some Dragon Blood might be needed to assist!"

Sang Sheng's brow furrowed once again. Now that it had come to this, it was not something she could decide on her own.

So, she shook her head and said, "I can mention it to Old Qin, but whether or not he agrees is another matter. If I may be so bold, what research does Master Zhu need to do that would be so much trouble?"

"This... actually, it's not something I can't talk about," Master Zhu said. "One of my Contracted Beasts is a Yellow Dragon. It has now reached the Emperor Peak level and wants to break through and evolve, which necessitates some new trials!"

"Hmm?!"

This time, Sang Sheng's brow furrowed deeply, her gaze at Zhu Hong filled with confusion as she asked, "Master Zhu, I don't doubt you. When it comes to Pet Beast cultivation, you are also a more authoritative figure. But I still want to say, even if your Yellow Dragon evolves and breaks through, becoming an elemental dragon with Spirit Saint Level potential, it would most likely be an Earth Dragon. That seems to have nothing to do with Mu Long, right?"

However, this time, Zhu Hong revealed a slight smile. "Of course, I understand that. But the evolution of my Pet Beast naturally can't be ordinary. In fact, I want to try a dual-attribute evolution!"

"Dual-attribute evolution? Earth and Wood?"

Sang Sheng was a little stunned. She obviously hadn't expected this. After a moment, as if she had finally understood something, she narrowed her eyes incredulously and looked at Zhu Hong, asking, "You intend to try that path?"

But Zhu Hong quickly waved his hand. "Not to that extent. Just having the opportunity to advance to Holy Spirit in the next few decades is enough for me! As for anything higher, I have never thought about it!"

Sang Sheng nodded, seemingly enlightened, and said, "Well then, since that's the case, I'll talk to Old Qin. But whether or not he agrees, we still have to ask his opinion!"

With that, the woman dialed the phone right in front of him, without even listening to the rest of Zhu Hong's words.

Although the blood of the Dragon Clan is extremely precious, losing some wouldn't necessarily be debilitating.

Therefore, the woman also knew that Master Zhu would likely offer some compensation for the trade. However, she didn't agree immediately upon hearing this, which fostered a rare sense of appreciation for her in Zhu Hong's heart.

Qin Erlong's reaction was the same. Upon hearing who needed help, he agreed immediately over the phone.

After hanging up, the woman continued, "In a while, I will give you Old Qin's contact information. Does Master Zhu plan to go to Linzhou right after the breeding competition ends, or wait until after Chinese New Year?"

Zhu Hong nodded. "Thank you, Lord Sang Sheng! Rest assured, I will not let President Qin help in vain! I'll go after the competition. As someone who is on my own, it doesn't really matter where I spend the New Year."

The woman nodded, then smiled and said, "That's good too. I'll probably be taking my family back to Linzhou for Chinese New Year. Around New Year's Eve, when things have settled down, we can have a good chat with Master Zhu."

Zhu Hong also nodded. As he had said, where he spent the New Year didn't really matter to him.

Now that the important matters were discussed, both of them relaxed. Sang Sheng finally showed some other interests, suddenly asking, "By the way, Master Zhu Hong, what about the prizes for this year's breeding competition?"

The breeding competition is an annual event of significant importance to Dragon Nation's breeding community, so the upper echelons of Dragon Nation pay great attention to it. Therefore, to encourage new Breeders to innovate and explore, they naturally offer corresponding rewards to stimulate the contestants.

This year, Sang Sheng hadn't looked into it beforehand. But since it was being held in the Magic Capital, it didn't hurt for her to satisfy her curiosity a bit.

Zhu Hong smiled slightly and replied directly, "There's nothing to hide about that! The top three, besides receiving substantial points from the Breeder Association and resource subsidies for their provinces, also get some extra individual rewards as Breeders. They'll get a selection of self-chosen resources and can pick from some of the Cultivation Methods within the Breeder Association—these have been standard every year! The first-place winner even gets to directly choose a Spirit Saint Level resource material! Apart from that, this year's first-place winner will also receive a Soul Fruit."

"Huh?!"

Sang Sheng's eyebrows lifted slightly. "A Soul Fruit? The Breeder Association is quite generous this time!"

The Soul Fruit is a miraculous item that can enhance a Beast Tamer's Talented Ability—a treasure that cannot be measured merely by Level!

Zhu Hong shook his head. "That's nothing much. Originally, a different reward was planned. However, after considering various factors, some changes were made."

Sang Sheng glanced at him, about to ask what the original reward was, but just then, her phone rang again.

The text message was from none other than Su Ping.

And the message from Su Ping left Sang Sheng slightly astonished, presenting her with an unusual dilemma.

"Lord Sang Sheng, what's wrong?"

The woman looked up, glanced at Master Zhu Hong before her, her eyes lighting up slightly as she said, "Master Zhu Hong, do you have any insights on the cultivation of the Five Elements Core? This little one who has come to us has posed quite a challenge!"

"The Heart of Elements?"
