Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 686: Chapter 310: The Ancestral Return of the Little Raven! The Start of Xiao Qing’s Evolutionary Cultivation!

The emerald glow enveloped the trunk of the Life Ancient Tree, which wore a baffled expression. This venerable tree, having prepared to embrace Death and accept its destiny’s end, could feel its roots—once completely dried up and devoid of any life—being revitalized with incredible speed after that drop of strange liquid entered its body.

Not right! the Life Ancient Tree realized. It was more than just vitality; it sensed a special sensation. Its strength and Realm had previously been completely severed by its injuries, extinguishing any possibility of further advancement. But at this moment, the Life Ancient Tree actually felt a strange power enhancing its body, originating from the roots and coursing upwards. Simultaneously, an Origin of energy—akin to Life and the Wood Element yet possessing far greater lethality—rapidly emerged from the once-lifeless roots!

What is happening? the Life Ancient Tree wondered. How did this mysterious young Beast Tamer manage this?

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief. I was genuinely afraid Biyao Chunshen wouldn’t be willing to help, he thought. But now, it seems my guess was confirmed. Biyao Chunshen is mostly benevolent towards me. Furthermore, as a Plant Type Pet Beast, it might feel a greater kinship with creatures like the Life Ancient Tree. That’s why Biyao Chunshen didn’t refuse when I tried to communicate and request assistance.

Indeed, only Biyao Chunshen could enable a dying Life Series Monarch Level Life Ancient Tree to revive in such a manner, and do so with such effortless grace.

Not right! Su Ping realized. In fact, it wasn’t just about restoring the tree’s vitality; there was something even more different about it!

As a Breeder, especially having intensively studied Plant Types recently, Su Ping immediately noticed a peculiar change in the Life Ancient Tree. The emerald light slowly merged into its body. Beyond revitalizing the wilted roots with the stimulation of Wood Element energy, a special power unique to Biyao Chunshen also radiated from the Life Ancient Tree. This power was something Su Ping was all too familiar with—and extremely dangerous.

Poison Type? Su Ping scratched his head, somewhat taken aback. For Biyao Chunshen, a supreme resource of the Wood Element and Poison Type with Legendary Level quality, this seemed to be a natural capability. After all, Xiao Qing’s bloodline mutation had originated this way. Yet, witnessing it again firsthand, Su Ping was still astonished by Biyao Chunshen’s immense power.

Perhaps sensing Su Ping’s astonishment, the human-like face on the Life Ancient Tree’s trunk slowly disappeared. Its exposed, once-decrepit roots began to regain their vitality. Simultaneously, branches rapidly sprouted and grew forth from the trunk connected to those roots. The new buds, leaves, and flowers that emerged on these branches were fully grown in just half a minute. However, these new branches, leaves, and flowers were completely different from the Life Ancient Tree’s normal vegetation! An indescribable sense of danger emanated from them.

Clearly, Su Ping’s conjecture was absolutely confirmed.

Has it really mutated? he wondered. And it’s a rapid, postnatally acquired mutation! Just a single drop of Biyao Chunshen’s sap caused such a transformation in the Life Ancient Tree!

Su Ping directed the gaze of the Eye of Truth towards the Life Ancient Tree. The latter, although of a higher Realm than him, showed no intention of hindering his inspection, instead fully enjoying the precious vitality Su Ping had restored to it.

[Mutated Ancient Life Tree (Wild)]

[Attribute: Wood Element, Life, Poison Type]

[Current Realm: Monarch Tenth Order]

[Racial Potential: Emperor Second Rank]

[Skills: Life Infusion (Proficient), Life (Toxic) Ripple (Proficiency), Fruit of Life Condensation (Proficiency)...]

As expected, Su Ping thought. In just ten minutes, the Life Ancient Tree completed a mutation to include the Poison Type attribute! Simultaneously, its Racial Potential surged by two entire Levels, including a leap across a Great Realm—a divide typically considered insurmountable for a Pet Beast of its Level. Biyao Chunshen, a Legendary Level resource... is it really that potent?

Su Ping looked at Xiao Qing with bewilderment. The gently undulating shadow had completely vanished, as if it had never been there.
