Fireworks.

These were the most magnificent and shocking fireworks Su Ping had ever seen.

Countless streaks of flame burst in the azure sky, only to disappear from sight.

Even on the return journey, Su Ping's mind kept revisiting all that he had just witnessed.

There were indeed Phoenix Type Pet Beasts on Blue Star, but Su Ping had never seen a Phoenix manifest in that manner before.

He then took out his phone and began to search.

Flame Phoenix, Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix...

Soon, several search results appeared in the back end of the Breeder Association:

[Prairie Fire Phoenix: A Spirit Saint Level Pet Beast, capable of commanding myriad birds...]

[Lihuo Colorful Phoenix: A Spirit Saint Level Pet Beast, famous for attracting other avian Pet Beasts of lower ranks...]

[...]

There were indeed numerous records of Phoenix Type Pet Beasts in the back end of the Breeder Association.

However, after looking through them one by one, Su Ping still didn't find what he was seeking.

The images of the Phoenix Type Pet Beasts in the records were undoubtedly of the highest caliber, all reaching the Spirit Saint Level, but they were still different from the Flame Phoenix he had just seen.

Su Ping furrowed his brows; having looked from start to finish, he found no further records.

The speed of the return journey was naturally much faster than the journey out.

Su Ping stroked Gaga's feathers and was about to comfort the apparently still dazed Little Crow when his eyebrows lifted slightly.

A strikingly bright spark flickered on Gaga's pitch-black tail.

It goes without saying that after what had just happened, Su Ping had become overly cautious, almost instinctually wanting to let go.

"Gaga?"

Gaga looked at Su Ping in confusion, and Su Ping realized his mistake.

He smiled awkwardly and, with a pat of his hand, extinguished the spark on Gaga's tail feathers, which indeed was nothing more than a remnant of Fire Elemental Energy. After he gently patted it twice, it vanished without a trace.

Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Little guy, how about you stay in the Heart of Myriad Spirits from now on?"

"Gaga!"

Gaga's spirits also lifted.

Only then did Su Ping feel at ease as he placed the little creature into the Beast Taming Space, exhaling a long breath.

However, Su Ping had stopped paying attention after placing Gaga into the Beast Taming Space. He obviously didn't see that the small spark he had extinguished on Gaga's tail feathers had reappeared. It looked alive and certainly not like residual Flame Energy.

Collecting his thoughts, Su Ping could finally take this opportunity to observe his own Beast Taming Space.

He had prepared himself for surprises, but he was still taken aback when he looked.

All his attention had previously been on the Flame Phoenix, but now, the changes in his Beast Taming Space were beyond his imagination.

This absorption from the Secret Realm was the first time he had completed the acquisition of new Space Characteristics within his Beast Taming Space, and it was significant!

Compared to the previous space that was the size of a small square, the space itself had expanded by about a third.

What's more important was that the newly expanded third of the Beast Taming Space was a patch of red soil.

It was distinctly different from the previous bright grassland.

Faint traces of flame occasionally flickered above the red soil.

With a thought from Su Ping, spiritual power congealed within his Beast Taming Space, and the next moment, a flower made of flames, as if tangible, sprang from the ground: Flame Fruit, a special resource produced by the Space Characteristics of the Fire Cultivation Realm.

However, this thing didn't have much direct effect on Su Ping. He did have Fire Type Pet Beasts, like Gaga, a Pet Beast mutated with both Fire and Dark Elements.

Also, there was the Flame Morning Glory of the Forest Heart.

Beyond that, there were no other Fire Type Pet Beasts.

Still, it was better than nothing. The emergence of the Fire Cultivation Realm's Space Characteristics indicated the great potential of his own ability to absorb Space Characteristics.

One adjustment he found mildly challenging was dealing with the dryness accompanying the emergence of the Fire Cultivation Realm's space. This was despite the ecological circulation Space Characteristic being in place.

It seemed he needed to find another treasure that could provide Water Element Space Characteristics to ensure the comfort of his Beast Taming Space.

Satisfied, he withdrew his attention.

Da Huang had also brought everyone back to their Heart of Myriad Spirits.

At this very moment, at the entrance of the Heart of Myriad Spirits, Sang Sheng, Master Zhu Hong, Qin Erlong, and others were all standing there. When Da Huang landed, Sang Sheng's brows knitted, and he turned his attention to his junior who had just returned from 'causing trouble'.

"What exactly happened?"

Clearly, on the way back, Qin Xiaoxue had already recounted what had happened in the valley.

Su Ping didn't say much, took out his phone, and led everyone back to the guest room. He then connected to the projector and showed everything that had just happened.

Even just through the video recording, everyone present couldn't help but freeze as they watched what unfolded on the screen.

"Master Zhu, Senior Sang Sheng, have you two ever heard of such a Phoenix species?"

Sang Sheng immediately shook his head. "Yun Sheng has a Colorful Phoenix, which I have seen, and I have a fairly good relationship with her, but I've never heard her mention such a strange species of Phoenix."

However, Master Zhu Hong, who stood beside them, pondered for a moment and then said, "This creature cannot be considered a regular Phoenix Type Pet Beast. Pet Beasts have Race distinctions. Normally, Phoenix Type Pet Beasts are flying avian Living Beings. But as you said, this Phoenix is assembled from flames. If we were to categorize it by Type, it seems more like an Elemental Beast Pet."

Elemental Type? Su Ping thought, recalling the earlier flames. It really did seem to be the case.

Speaking of this, Master Zhu Hong thought for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. "Now that you mention it, although I have never seen this Fire Phoenix Pet Beast before and do not know its origin, historical records depict some very similar scenes."

With that, Master Zhu Hong quickly started searching through his phone.

Soon, a photo appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was an ancient mural on a rock wall.

It was evident that it had been there for many years.

Amidst the mottled traces, the ancient years flowed past.

On the mural, several painted birds surrounded a mass of flames.

Within the flames appeared a bird-shaped figure, like a Phoenix ready to spread its wings and soar.

It indeed bore some resemblance. Unfortunately, this was the only mural; it left the onlookers feeling somewhat confused and lost.

"Master Zhu, where did you see this?" Su Ping asked.

Master Zhu Hong did not hide anything. "It's on the corridor walls of a ruin in Ximo Province. The ancient city's corridors are said to be over three thousand years old. Most of the rest has deteriorated, but this mural remains relatively clear."

"This..." Su Ping felt somewhat helpless.

"Su Ping, I will report this matter to the higher authorities, so there's no need for you to worry too much," Sang Sheng said from the side. "This matter, after all, is probably not of much relevance to you. If there is any news or developments, I will inform you!"

Obviously, the 'higher authorities' Sang Sheng referred to were none other than the highest echelon within the Dragon Nation.

Su Ping nodded. What Sang Sheng said was true; the matter indeed did not have much to do with him.

That creature, at the very least, would be a Spirit Saint Level Pet Beast. To such an existence, they were as insignificant as ants passing by.

And it was this reason that had prompted Su Ping, who had been somewhat relaxed due to the New Year festivities, to refocus his efforts.

His status had indeed become extraordinary.

His network included Breeding Masters and Spirit Saint Level Beast Tamers.

In Linzhou, and even in Jianghai, his influence was not to be understated.

But when faced with a powerful being like that Phoenix, he still appeared so frail and powerless.

For this reason, Su Ping didn't rush back into his other research over the next few days.

Instead, he began meditation.

It had to be said that the effect of the Heart of Dreams was really good.

In two days, Su Ping felt that his spiritual power had reached a thin membrane, which he could break through with but a slight push, like puncturing a layer of window paper.

So, Su Ping paused.

Not only because the coming day was the last day of the lunar year 224, which was New Year's Eve, but also because there was something he needed to prepare before his breakthrough as a Beast Tamer.

The breakthrough of a Beast Tamer was extremely important to many Beast Tamers, and indeed it was.

The reason was simple. A Beast Tamer's breakthrough, along with the upgrade of the Beast Taming Space, not only yielded new Space Characteristics. It was also the best time to use items for additional Space Characteristics if one desired them.

The Space Characteristic of the Fire Cultivation Realm.

It made the inside of Su Ping's Beast Taming Space unbearably hot.

Thus, he urgently needed a Water Element Space Characteristic to balance it out.

Otherwise, judging from the past few days, many of the 'poisonous·smiling sunflowers' Xiao Qing had painstakingly planted within his Beast Taming Space had withered and died. This indicated significant adverse effects on his space's internal environment.

Therefore, to achieve a breakthrough, he needed a Water Element resource like the Emperor Level 'Stone of Creation' that Qin Xiaoxue had given him before.

But obviously, if it were an ordinary item, with the rewards from the Breeder Competition and the favor of Ghost Saint, Su Ping could have simply asked for it.

And that's what he did.

However, after making two phone calls, the answer he got was negative!

Indeed, any resource treasures usable by Beast Tamers, especially those suitable for Monarch Level or even Emperor-level Beastmasters, had their value increased by a notch in rarity.

They were exceptionally scarce resources.

Moreover, Su Ping's request was quite specific: it had to be of the Water Element.

Consequently, the response from the Breeder Association was to wait a bit longer; they would notify him as soon as they had stock.

What else could Su Ping do? He could only slightly slow down the pace of his meditation and, at the same time, prepare for this upcoming, most special New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.
