When the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas first illuminated the Forest Wolf Catalog, a prompt had appeared. This was the same prompt that had shown up when the Atlas came into contact with Xiao Qing: an offer to decrypt the reason for Xiao Qing's poison type mutation and thoroughly analyze its origin and cultivation.
However, the terrifyingly high experience point consumption was too daunting for Su Ping to touch.
The cost in experience points was more fearsome than any other cultivation method, even more so than Evolution Laws such as those for the Wanmu Wolf or the Crown Wolf Emperor.
At that time, Su Ping was filled with doubts. Was it necessary?
Mutated Pet Beasts were rare and special, sure, but did they justify such an enormous expense of experience points?
Especially after seeing the perfected cultivation methods for the Wanmu Wolf and Crown Wolf Emperor, his doubt only grew stronger.
At the same time, remembering how the reason for the little paper figure Qian Yi's mutation had required far fewer experience points than Xiao Qing's mutation, Su Ping's curiosity about Xiao Qing's poison type mutation intensified.
And now, finally, Su Ping saw a glimmer of hope.
Finally, after repeated, persistent cultivation, the investment of countless resources, the supply of Wood Element resources, and Su Ping's seemingly accidental yet deeper understanding of this poison type mutation, the experience points required by the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas to analyze the cause and cultivation method of this mutation had been greatly reduced.
With a total of nearly 16,000 experience points now, Su Ping felt no reluctance to spend them.
He had been willing to use over three thousand experience points on the Crown Wolf Emperor; naturally, he wouldn't hesitate for his own Pet Beast.
Although merely looking at the cause of the mutation was fundamentally different from perfecting the Crown Wolf Emperor's cultivation, what exactly could a mutation reason that cost a whopping 50,000 experience points be?
Now that the answer was about to be revealed, Su Ping would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't take a good look.
Moreover, he wanted to understand Xiao Qing's mutation and see if he could find another clue for evolution.
With that thought, Su Ping no longer hesitated and quickly spent 1,600 experience points like flowing water.
This was a poison type mutation!
Su Ping had never heard of any Beast Tamer who mastered the complete cultivation method for a fully mutated Pet Beast!
If he could fully analyze it, could he consistently breed poison type mutated Forest Wolves?
In an instant, a light shone upon the Forest Wolf Catalog.
At the same time, a brand new branch appeared in the special cultivation options of the Forest Wolf Catalog:
[Forest Wolf Mutation Direction: Ultimate Wood and Poison Dual-Element Mutation]
Huh?
Su Ping merely saw the feedback on the mutation direction from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas and immediately furrowed his brow. A mutation is a mutation, a poison type mutation is just that, but what's this about an ultimate poison type mutation? Could there be a lower-grade poison type mutation? Mutations have levels now? Su Ping didn't understand.
But quickly, his gaze moved down.
And then, his eyes widened.
He looked incredulously at the mutation effects deduced through experience analysis from the Forest Wolf Catalog on the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas.
[Forest Wolf Mutation Direction: Ultimate Wood and Poison Dual-Element Mutation]
[A pregnant mother wolf mistakenly ate some of the root tendrils of the Legendary Level resource 'Biyao Chunshen.' The mother's body was killed by the backlash from the 'Biyao Chunshen' root tendril's medicinal power, while the cub absorbed its essence and was born.
Mutation effect: After birth, the mutated beast possesses great potential in both Poison and Wood Elements. No significant changes in appearance or Skills. However, its potential significantly increases, and within a certain range, based on its own strength, it has an extremely clear sense for 'Biyao Chunshen.'
It has great immunity to and absorption effects for Poison System Resources, and a tremendous innate talent for enhancing Wood and Poison dual-element Skills. After learning Wood Element (Poison Element) Skills, it has a high chance to gradually master the corresponding Wood (Poison) Skills, and the two Attribute Skills have great synergy.
Upon consuming 'Biyao Chunshen' root tendrils again, there is a chance to comprehend additional dual-element Skills. This comprehension effect requires evolution to be completed or for the Pet Beast to reach Monarch Level to achieve the maximum bonus effect.]
Su Ping blinked.
He looked at what he had now, which originally required 50,000 experience points to analyze—the so-called mutation cause.
Damn it, this is the value of a mutation that originally cost 50,000 experience points? What's the goddamn use? 'Biyao Chunshen'? Wood and Poison dual-element resources? And damn it, Legendary Level!?
He hadn't even personally handled a Spiritual Level Resource yet.
The only Emperor Level resource he had was the treasured natural essence previously brought back by his father.
Su Ping was still thinking about breeding more of this type of poison type mutation, but now it seemed like pure fantasy.
The conditions for Xiao Qing's mutation were even more bizarre than those for the little paper figure Qian Yi's mutation? That's outrageous!
He hadn't even heard of Legendary Level resources. And continue to consume this thing's root tendrils to comprehend other dual-element Skills? Even if it grasped a Super-Rank Skill, what good would it do if he couldn't obtain this thing? It's all nonsense.
But…
Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, when he thought about it, there were quite a few peculiarities about Xiao Qing.
In addition to its current advancement speed, it could easily comprehend Skills just by consuming resources.
Then there were those Skills that clearly weren't shared through a connection, yet their proficiency level increased as if it were child's play.
Other Skills aside, that Poison Flower—a Skill purely comprehended by Xiao Qing itself—had reached the Mastery Level over this period? On other Pet Beasts, this was almost an impossible feat, yet on Xiao Qing, it seemed all too common.
There was one more thing. Originally, the first time Xiao Qing consumed the Magic Potion 'Heart of Woods,' it was fundamentally different from all other Forest Wolves! That is to say, when it consumed the potion, it broke through its racial limit, leaping from the Elite Peak to the Third Rank Commander Level. What did that mean?
The term "racial limit" implies the maximum potential of that Pet Beast species under normal conditions. This was an immutable fact. It wasn't something that could be so easily increased!
Just how much did the Heart of Woods cost? After all, it was nothing more than a Magic Potion comprised of several Ordinary Level resources and one Elite Level resource. Such a Magic Potion, capable of directly raising a Forest Wolf to the racial limit of Third Rank Commander Level?
As his foundation in cultivation grew increasingly stable over time, Su Ping knew that this was indeed not quite logical.
Now, Su Ping finally understood what the hell was going on. It turns out Xiao Qing's mutation starting point might be even more difficult than Qian Yi's.
Su Ping slowly reined in his agitated emotions. He once again meticulously reviewed the effects of this mutation.
Soon, Su Ping's gaze narrowed on a line of text. It could sense the Biyao Chunshen within a certain range? Su Ping blinked. Where exactly did Su Anyong get Xiao Qing from? If he understood Xiao Qing's origins and knew where it had been found, did it mean that in that area, there might be the Legendary Level resource 'Biyao Chunshen'?
At that moment, Su Ping could not remain calm.
He dragged his somewhat wobbly body, turned on the computer, logged into the Legion's official website, and began searching.
To his slight surprise, the Legion's backend network only popped up with this message alert:
[Unable to search for the keyword 'Biyao Chunshen.' Please enter it precisely, or your authority is insufficient to view it.]
Su Ping's brow furrowed.
After thinking for a moment, he opened the Breeder Association's backend website and continued searching within the site.
By now, he was a Senior Breeder of the Breeder Association, enjoying Breeding Master treatment, and also the honorary vice president of Linhai Province. His authority was indeed much higher than that of the so-called Honorary Major in the Legion's backend.
This time, Su Ping actually found what he was looking for.
However, even on the Breeder Association's backend, there was only a small introduction available, and no channel for exchange whatsoever.
[Biyao Chunshen: A Legendary Level Wood and Poison dual-element resource, possessing a certain degree of self-awareness, unable to exist within Secret Realms or Beast Taming Space.
It has a special ability, 'Green Demon Avatar,' which allows it to transform into any plant form. Most Legendary Beast Tamers and the majority of Pet Beasts of that level cannot discern its true form, making Biyao Chunshen very difficult to discover.
Even if discovered, Biyao Chunshen can abandon its transformed body at any time, escaping in its true form, impervious to the majority of binding methods.
Known effects of Biyao Chunshen: In its vicinity, the growth rate of all Plant Type Pet Beasts and plant resources is greatly boosted! The birth rate of Plant Type Pet Beasts and Wood Elemental Series Pet Beasts is significantly increased.
The root tendrils can be consumed by both Wood Element and Poison Type Pet Beasts. Only those at Monarch Level or higher can barely withstand it; consumption by any Pet Beast below Monarch Level will result in a fatal backlash.
Upon consumption, Energy is greatly enhanced, with a chance to comprehend the Skills 'Spring of Azure' or 'Spring of the Demon,' and a small chance to comprehend the Super-Rank Skill 'Green Demon Body.'
Meanwhile, a Beast Tamer at Monarch Level or higher, upon consuming a full tendril of Biyao Chunshen, has a chance to comprehend the secondary Talent 'Shadow of Biyao' and may acquire the Space Characteristics 'Spring After Withered Woods.']
(Reference materials are not complete and may contain inaccuracies or omissions.)
Su Ping exhaled a long breath. What did it mean to be staggeringly impressive? What did it mean to be a genuinely top-tier resource of this world?
Now, seeing that the Spiritual Level Resource Sword Intent Origin, which could grant the Super-Rank Skill of Sword Intent, paled in comparison to the complete Biyao Chunshen, the discrepancy was beyond belief.
This thing... even the head office of the Breeder Association probably struggled to possess any. And now, through the analysis of Xiao Qing's mutation, Su Ping had actually found a clue to such a heaven-defying item! Only, he wondered, how the hell could he get his hands on it?
