Chapter 1367 - 559: Second Stage Breeding of Rainbow Dragon and Nanming Li Fire!

Chapter 1367: Chapter 559: Second Stage Breeding of Rainbow Dragon and Nanming Li Fire!

[Breeding (Preparation) Stage 1: Breed the Pet Beast into a Fire Type Pet Beast. At the same time, it must master the special Super-Rank Skill: Fire Seed! Furthermore, the level of the Fire Seed must not exceed the Proficient Level!]

[Stage 2: If the Fire Seed Skill is at the Beginner level, consume the Emperor Level resource: Flame True Core. Moreover, use the flame to burn ten Monarch Level Fire Type Pet Beasts, refining them to death. After absorbing and converting their flames into its own body, the Fire Seed Skill will be upgraded to the Proficient Level, and its temperature will drastically increase.]

[Stage 3: If the Fire Seed Skill is at the Proficient Level, consume the Holy Spirit Level Resource: ten drops of Phoenix Essence Blood or a Fire Dragon Ball. Use the flame to burn ten Emperor Level Fire Type Pet Beasts to death, refining them. After absorbing and converting their flames into the body, the Fire Seed Skill will advance to the Mastery Level! Its Flame Energy Elementality will drastically increase, and the Fire Seed will gain a special effect—the ability to refine and gather flames.]

[Stage 4: If the Fire Seed Skill is at the Mastery Level, gather four specific flames: True Sun Fire, Molten Rock Flow Flame, the Soul Fire left behind by a Spirit Saint Level Undead, and the Life Fire refined by a Spirit Saint Level Life. Absorb and refine these four flames into oneself to shape a Super Elementalization body! The Fire Seed Skill will reach the Perfection Level, completing the Ignition! The special Super-Rank Skill, Fire Seed, will experience a qualitative leap!]

(Note: The Fire Elemental Pet Beast must fully and independently participate in acquiring the Soul Fire and Life Fire. It must burn the targets from start to finish and kill them itself before it can condense and refine the flames. If others interfere, the purity of the flames will be insufficient, causing the Fire Seed’s advancement to suffer unpredictable and unknown risks.)

(Note: The flames can be absorbed and refined sequentially; there is no need to process them all at once. Every time a single flame is absorbed and refined, the power of both the Fire Seed and the flame skills will increase.)

Looking at the second stage of breeding for the Nanming Li Fire, Su Ping couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath through his teeth, even though he had been mentally prepared for this long ago.

Sure enough, the path to becoming an existence akin to the legendary Fire God Vermilion Bird was a difficult one to walk. Resources aside, it actually required killing high-level existences of the same element to complete the advancement!

The most crucial point was that the difficulty was simply astronomical. Stage 3 alone required burning and refining ten Emperor Level Fire Type Pet Beasts. As absurd as that was, he could somewhat accept it. Even the Phoenix Essence Blood and Fire Dragon Balls—supreme treasures that ordinary people hadn’t even heard of, let alone seen—were still somewhat manageable.

But what about Stage 4? True Sun Fire wasn’t an issue since there was plenty in the sky, but what about the other three? A flame condensed from the underground molten lava? On top of that, it clearly required slaying two Spirit Saint Level Ferocious Beasts, with one strictly mandated to be an Undead Type.

One Spirit Saint Level Undead Type had to be refined into Soul Fire, while the other could be any target refined into Life Fire. Afterward, the four flames had to be fused and refined into the beast’s body. Only then could it enter the Perfection Level, allowing the Fire Seed to advance to the next stage.

As Su Ping had expected, such a staggering difficulty was far beyond what Little Flame could achieve at the moment. Currently, Little Flame was only at the Monarch Level. It was slightly possible for it to kill an Emperor Level foe, and if they ganged up on the target together, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. But Spirit Saint Level...

Spirit Saint Level entities represented the pinnacle of combat strength on Blue Star. Aside from their sheer power, more importantly, they were often tied to various factions. It would be genuinely difficult to find one they could kill without worrying about any subsequent repercussions.

Resting his chin in his hand, Su Ping pondered for a long time. A Spirit Saint Level Undead wouldn’t be too hard to locate; at the very least, there were some in the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land. However, even if they found one, could they actually kill it? After all, this wretched flame refining process required Little Flame to act alone.

Thinking about this, Su Ping could only shake his head. What Nanming Li Fire? What Vermilion Bird’s flame? The difficulty of this evolutionary advancement was more than a single level higher than Little Crow Yaya’s Day and Night Fire!

Currently, Yaya’s Fire Seed had already reached the Mastery Level. It was only half a step away from Perfection. He estimated that if the Day and Night Fire received a corresponding boost and Yaya’s Realm went up, it might be able to completely finalize the Ignition. This would advance its Fire Seed to the next stage.

It was nothing like Little Flame’s situation. Good grief! To put it simply, for Little Flame to accomplish all of this on its own, it would have to advance to the Emperor Level at the very least. In fact, Emperor Beginner likely wouldn’t even be enough.

The only silver lining was that the absorption and refinement process didn’t require all four flames to be consumed at once. He could simply collect whichever one was available and have Little Flame refine it first.

However, it was obvious that compared to the Rainbow Dragon’s Second Stage Evolution—which could be initiated right now—the second stage of the Nanming Li Fire required more than just preparing the evolution breeding materials from the first stage. They also needed to accelerate the improvement of Little Flame’s overall strength.

Unfortunately, there had been no news of the other Flame Venerable’s Avatars recently. Su Ping hadn’t been able to find them, causing Little Flame’s devouring and refinement progress to slow down significantly. Without that cheat-like method of improvement, Little Flame’s Level Realm advancement had undeniably decelerated.

Exhaling a long breath to organize his thoughts, Su Ping stood up and walked out of the Meditation Room.

The sunlight outside was dazzling. The climate back home was definitely more comfortable. It lacked the bone-chilling cold of Beiyuan Province. Furthermore, thanks to the presence of numerous Pet Beasts and the nourishment of various Spirit Lands, the area within the Heart of Woods felt like early summer—a most pleasant and comfortable environment.

The aura of the Wood Element and Life Series blew over gently. Paired with the warm sunshine, a feeling of laziness washed over him almost involuntarily. It made Su Ping want to yawn, lay back in his rocking chair, and take a good nap.

Unfortunately, the burdens on his shoulders were quite heavy right now. Although the Legend of the Holy Dragon had constantly told him there was no rush, Su Ping could sense from their previous conversations that the senior was actually quite eager for him to further improve his strength and continue growing. At the very least, his strength needed to be sufficient to guarantee absolute safety in the outside world.

Thinking of this, his previous sluggish drowsiness vanished completely. He pondered for a moment, organizing his schedule.

Without a doubt, his top priority was his Contracted Beasts. However, even though Xiao Qing and Old Sha were due for their evolutions, they hadn’t yet reached their Racial Potential limits like Qian Yi had. Not to mention, Xiao Qing’s limit was rather unique. Moreover, he still hadn’t fully figured out the evolution pathways for Xiao Qing and Old Sha. It wasn’t something he could rush.

Since that was the case, he would first complete the Rainbow Dragon’s Second Stage Evolution, allowing the Rainbow Lucid Butterfly to take another step forward. After that, he would acquire the ten Monarch Level and Emperor Level Pet Beasts—along with the corresponding resources—needed for Little Flame’s Fire Seed to advance to the Proficient Level and Mastery Level.

No matter what, he needed to boost his combat power first.

At the same time, during the breaks while researching Haina Baichuan with Master Zhu Hong, he could properly arrange the breeding plans for Xiao Qing and Old Sha.

As for everything else—such as the Dream World research that still showed no signs of hope, or the whimsical creation of a brand-new Species Pet Beast—he could only leave those up to fate. He would just have to see if any new attempts or ideas could fill the theoretical gaps. Besides, those projects could only be resumed after all the pressing matters were fully resolved.

Ultimately, the current state of his own Contracted Beasts was the most vital thing. Any other breeding project had to take a back seat.

With this in mind, Su Ping suddenly felt a surge of energy under the early winter sun. Now brimming with motivation, he picked up his phone, relayed his requests to Uncle Guan, and dialed the Feather Saint’s number.

He needed a drop of blood from a Light Dragon. This could barely be considered a favor. He had to discuss it properly.

Fortunately, even though he had only interacted with the Feather Saint a few times, she didn’t question his request. She agreed without hesitation and promised that the item would be delivered within two days at most.

With all preparations complete, Su Ping was just about to roll up his sleeves and get to work when he realized he had obviously forgotten something. Something that was still of crucial importance. Thankfully, the person involved in that matter had come knocking on his door to remind him personally.

Amidst a flowing stream of water, a figure materialized in front of Su Ping.

Su Ping, who had just been about to move, felt his mouth twitch. Looking at the figure before him, he said helplessly, "Senior Water Venerable, it’s been a while!"

"It has been a while. From what I can tell, kid, you’ve completely tossed my matters to the back of your mind, haven’t you?"
