Chapter 684: Chapter 309: Vein Seed? The Dying Life Ancient Tree!_2

Although Lao Guan was somewhat exasperated that this young master was delegating everything to him, he still replied methodically.

“What?” Su Ping glanced at Lao Guan.

After all, he had only been away for half a month. In such a short time, it would be impressive if the Heart of Earth was even designed, let alone developed. The same went for the Heart of Soul. Construction and renovation were one aspect, and Pet Beast training also consumed considerable time. Naturally, there wouldn’t be any notable developments.

Indeed, just as expected, Lao Guan looked around before whispering carefully, “Xiao Ping, do you remember that empty lot we mentioned before, the one said to have a special magnetic field? The day before yesterday, we received confirmed news. There might be a small, newly formed vein seed of Monarchic Magneto-Gold about fifty meters underground in this area!”

“Hmm?” Su Ping was slightly taken aback.

Metal Element items were things he rarely dealt with, so he didn’t immediately recognize what it was. However, his eyes quickly widened in shock. “Monarchic Magneto-Gold? A wild, natural Metal Element resource of Monarch Level, and it’s a vein seed?”

“Correct, but it’s not yet fully confirmed.”

After receiving a positive response from Lao Guan, Su Ping’s eyebrows lifted, a trace of joy appearing on his face.

A Monarch Level resource! If this had been during his previous, poverty-stricken days, Su Ping would have definitely rolled up his sleeves and dug it up himself. Although it might not seem like much, he estimated that a few tons could be extracted without issue. But now, with his current wealth, it was hardly worth his effort.

The value of a vein seed was immense. On Blue Star, mineral resources of Gold and Earth elements didn’t typically emerge from millennia of geological changes. In most cases, highly concentrated Energy elements in the air would lead to the formation of such resources. Minerals would grow from a tiny seed core, gradually absorbing the surrounding Metal Element and Earth Element energies, then expand and solidify over many years.

Even without considering the surrounding mature Monarchic Magneto-Gold itself, just the vein seed alone could be as valuable as three to five Emperor Level resources. The reason was simple: this vein seed could be transferred into a Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Space. If the Beast Taming Space possessed Metal Attribute Resource Type Traits, it could accelerate the formation of Monarchic Magneto-Gold countless times over. Many resources produced in Secret Realms were transferred by their original owners in this way.

However, the problem was that Su Ping couldn’t transfer it either, as his Beast Taming Space didn’t have any Metal Element Space Characteristics.

And moreover…

Su Ping suddenly said, “Speaking of which, Monarchic Magneto-Gold is a special metal with magnetic properties, right?”

“Correct. During the initial explorations, many detection instruments malfunctioned and couldn’t be used. If we hadn’t excavated at considerable cost, it would probably be difficult to detect even now.”

“Monarchic Magneto-Gold can be used with Electromagnetic Force to enhance magnetic interference, leading to significantly intensified local gravity. If nothing else, we could set up a large Gravity Chamber near the Heart of Water!”

“A Gravity Chamber?” Lao Guan was perplexed, scratching his head.

“Yes. Many strength and speed-type Pet Beasts rely on tempering their bodies. Although we don’t have anything like the Heart of Myriad Spirits at the moment, it’s good to be prepared for any eventuality,” Su Ping mused.

There had been similar special training rooms at Magic Capital Academy.

However, Su Ping reconsidered. “Of course,” he said after a moment’s thought, “let’s continue to survey the area and consult some professionals before making a decision. After all, the thing is so deep underground, it’s not going anywhere.”

After all, even Lao Guan didn’t sound certain. Although Lao Guan was reliable, Su Ping needed to be absolutely sure before taking action. Moreover, it wasn’t very suitable. A Gravity Chamber indeed required Monarchic Magneto-Gold as a vital construction material, but it needed the Monarchic Magneto-Gold itself. Using a vein seed for this purpose would be an outrageous waste.

Shaking his head, Su Ping then asked, “There haven’t been any issues with Toothy from the Heart of Phoenix, have there?”

Ever since the last problem with Toothy’s rescue plan, Su Ping had conducted numerous specialized training sessions for the little creature and other avian Pet Beasts. Only by confining them to solitary in the Beast Taming Space had he managed to somewhat tame their wildness.

So, during this period, he was most concerned about this little creature.

However, to Su Ping’s surprise, Uncle Guan shook his head. “Not at all, Xiao Ping. If you hadn’t asked, I was about to tell you. Recently, that little Black Crow has been acting unusually. It’s eating less than before and barely moves, spending all its time on the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree. I’ve asked the companion Beast Tamers from the Heart of Myriad Spirits, and they said the little one isn’t sick or injured. They don’t know much more than that.”

Hmm? Su Ping’s brows furrowed slightly. Toothy isn’t doing well? Could it be holding a grudge since I disciplined it? But that’s unlikely. It was fine before I left, wasn’t it?

However, before Su Ping could think further, Uncle Guan paused and then continued, “There’s one more thing. The Life Ancient Tree at the Forest Heart is also not in good shape…”

Su Ping looked at Uncle Guan, speechless. Is this what he calls ’no major issues’? Last time I returned from Magic Capital, I encountered the Little Crow and developed the Five Elements Body. Everything went well. Why is it the complete opposite this time upon my return?
