Different from the super main cities and ordinary cities scattered around the Shenshu Continent, Qingyu can be regarded as the most core and prosperous area of the continent, and there is an eighth-level royal plant master in charge.
Its status is basically equivalent to that of the imperial capital, Yudi City, during the Beast Taming Empire period of the Xingyue Continent.
The remains of the Tree King are located within the Green Domain.
After confirming that they were coming to challenge the Tree King ruins, the legendary Lords of Tree Realm City, Ye Ying, and Fengrao City, Tian Qianmo, brought their respective disciples with them to the Qing Territory to broaden their horizons and gain experience.
Above the blue sea and sky, a green flying boat was shuttling back and forth at high speed.
Above, City Lord Ye, City Lord Tian, Lu Ran, and Gu Yu have already set off.
This flying boat is actually City Lord Tian's pet, a special transportation pet that is very good at carrying people. Lu Ran feels more comfortable and stable riding it than on a passenger plane.
Lu Ran stayed in the small wooden house on the flying boat for a while, but he couldn't sit still anymore and went to visit his master, the city lord.
"Master."
"Ran'er, what's wrong?"
“Master, you should just call me Lu Ran.” Lu Ran said bitterly, “Calling me Ran’er sounds weird.”
"What!" City Lord Ye was puzzled. What was so strange about it?
"Are you looking down on me, an old woman?" She sensed Lu Ran's alienation towards this title.
"How is that possible, Master? I'm simply not used to it. The customs here are quite different from ours. Even if you call me your grandson, it would be more comfortable than this." Lu Ran looked at the old man in front of him helplessly.
Looking at each other, he suddenly thought of his grandmother, the old lady who always cooked animal milk for him and cared about him in every way.
Honestly speaking, Lu Ran felt that he was quite lucky. Both the Master Sect Leader and the Master City Lord treated their apprentice very well. Although they had only just accepted him as a disciple, the former had already spent a lot of effort to help him shape his soul. The latter, upon learning of Lu Ran's needs, immediately set out to visit other legendary families to find an opportunity for Lu Ran to awaken.
"Okay, forget it if you're not used to it. I just called her that because I heard my senior sister call her disciple that."
City Lord Ye waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? You just broke through to level three. Why don't you stabilize your realm and develop your abilities? Why do I always see you wandering around?"
Lu Ran murmured in his heart, he also wanted to consolidate his realm, but the key was that he had no beast-taming space to practice.
No need to stabilize at all.
In fact, in a few days, Dark Crow will reach level 40, and he will be able to enter the next breakthrough secret realm and make a perfect breakthrough.
"Master, I heard that you were a beast tamer at first, but later switched to plant taming."
"There are rumors outside that you have always wanted to take in a beastmaster apprentice to pass on your family's unique skills. Is that true?"
City Lord Ye was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and said, "It's not just rumors from the outside world, did your Uncle Tian also tell you about it?"
"Um……"
"I did have this idea in my early years. When I was young, due to some changes, I was the only one left in the family. I should have passed on the family's power, but in the end I still chose Yu Zhi."
"After becoming a legend, I thought of taking in a beast taming disciple, just as the rumors said, and letting him inherit my family's skills."
"But I don't want to just casually accept a disciple, and I haven't found a good candidate, so this matter has been delayed."
"Until you showed up. When I first saw your amazing potential in beast control, I was indeed tempted. But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up."
"You were born in the Beast Taming House, so you must have been exposed to all kinds of beast taming skills. My family's beast taming skills are not that great. Forcing you to learn and inherit them will only waste your energy and delay your normal practice."
"Forget it." City Lord Ye shook his head.
"Master, unless you plan to take in another disciple, please teach me." Lu Ran said, "No matter whether this skill is useful to me or not, as your disciple, I have to do something."
"Even if I am not suitable for learning, one day in the future, when I accept a disciple, I may be able to pass on the knowledge for you."
Lu Ran was actually not interested in the beast taming skills of the city lord's master's family. First, he really couldn't learn it. Second, even if he could learn it, the bunch of rare beast taming skills collected by the Xiaguo Research Institute and the bunch of beast taming skills he looted from the Necromancer would only be better.
He mentioned this at this time purely to make the City Lord Master happier. Although Lu Ran understood that everything was an illusion, at least in the secret realm stage, these illusions were no different from real people and had their own emotions.
By expressing his intention to inherit the other party's power, at least City Lord Ye would feel that his decision to accept this disciple was not in vain.
Telling white lies to cheer someone up is one of the few things Lu Ran, as his disciple, can do.
"You, accept a disciple?"
Hearing Lu Ran's words, City Lord Ye smiled. It was indeed a little early for Lu Ran to think about taking in a disciple when he was not even an adult yet.
"It must be your Uncle Tian who told you something. You don't have to worry about it."
"But it's rare that you have this intention."
“Well, if you really meet the right person in the future, please help me pass it on.” City Lord Ye said with a smile. As she spoke, she took out a cultivation secret book and threw it to Lu Ran.
Beast Taming Skill Name: Sealed Transformation.
Lu Ran took the secret book and looked at the skill names, but couldn't figure out anything.
City Lord Ye said: "Sealed Transformation, this skill can seal the power of your pet and put it into a 'sealed state'. In the sealed state, the pet's appearance will change drastically, and it will look extremely weak."
"No, it doesn't just look like it, the actual situation will be weaker than before."
"And this sealed state is actually accumulating strength. As long as the seal is lifted and it transforms back to its original state, it will be able to burst out with much stronger power than normal."
"In other words, it means using your normal weak state to gain a stronger posture during battle."
When Lu Ran heard this, he was slightly startled and said, “Isn’t this skill very powerful???”
City Lord Ye shook his head and said, "Looking at the results, it is indeed not weak. However, when it is in a sealed state, the pet is indeed weaker. In my family, many geniuses have encountered sudden dangers. Because the pet is too weak in the sealed state, there is no chance to lift the seal, and they suffered misfortune."
"A truly strong person would not trap himself like this."
"The process of removing the seal also takes a certain amount of time. Often by this time, for a real crisis, life or death can be determined."
"This skill may be good for 'playing the pig to eat the tiger', but if you play the pig too much, you may become a real pig. For ordinary beastmasters, it is better to develop enhanced beastmaster skills instead of developing this skill. It can also greatly increase the combat power of pets in battle. Although it will consume the physical strength of the beastmaster, it will be more flexible in tactical choices. I didn't develop it in depth because I don't like the form of this skill."
"Therefore, I don't want to force others to learn or pass on my skills. If you hadn't asked me to do so, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to teach you this skill."
“However, after all, this is a skill that has been passed down in the family for hundreds of years. In short, the emotions are very complicated.” After City Lord Ye finished speaking, Lu Ran put away the skill and smiled.
"Master, don't worry. I will study it when I get back. Even if I can't learn it myself, I will definitely accept a suitable apprentice in the future and pass on this skill."
"Don't waste too much energy." City Lord Ye reminded again.
"Especially, this is a beast control skill, which can only be used on beast pets, not plant pets, so don't even think about improving it to be effective on plant pets. I have tried to improve it, but it's very difficult. The principles of the two are different, and the effect cannot be forcibly changed."
"Disciple, please remember this!"
…………
After flying for a while, Lu Ran and his companions finally arrived in Qingyu.
In fact, no matter where in the Shenshu Continent, legendary powerhouses are also strategic forces. They are like walking disasters on the continent. Generally speaking, when a legend arrives at the territory of another legend, they will say hello in advance.
The Tree King Ruins are such an important relic that, although according to the Tree King's last wishes, anyone can challenge it, there are actually forces responsible for guarding and managing the challengers.
"The founder of the Imperial Plant Force that controls the Blue Region... is said to be one of the suitors of the Tree King."
"We took root here to protect the remains of the Tree King and select a suitable successor for the Tree King."
"That's a good result."
"That suitor is dead, his descendants have all reached level 8, but no one has been able to pass the Tree King Ruins yet."
On the flying boat, Tian Chuanqi stood at the front and spoke the eight trigrams to Lu Ran and Gu Yu behind him.
"It's normal for a girl like the Tree King to have many suitors." Guyu immersing herself in the conversation, "What a pity, such a legendary figure died before she was 30."
"The most important thing is that the specific cause of her death is unknown." City Lord Ye said, "Perhaps someone can really obtain her inheritance and know what happened to her."
She glanced at Lu Ran and said, "The Tree King in his prime is said to be able to fight against legendary creatures. Don't be careless."
City Lord Ye knows Lu Ran's background better than outsiders. He knows that Mr. Ha has mastered the shaping of legendary creatures, but mimicry is mimicry after all. The Tree King is an existence that is said to be able to fight against even real legendary life. It is not so easy to defeat him.
"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.
As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the Tree King City, a city specially built to commemorate the Tree King. The legendary experience of the Tree King can be said to have been passed down through the ages. When she was active on the continent, she opened up cities for many refugees and killed many ferocious beasts and plants that were causing trouble in the area. She enjoyed a high reputation. Even now, there are still many cities enshrining statues of the Tree King.
Therefore, the place where her legendary relics are located cannot be simple.
Looking at the city in front of them with a giant tree reaching into the clouds, Lu Ran and his flying boat had just approached when a figure emitting a strong aura appeared in front of the flying boat.
"The people who came are the Lords of Tree Realm City and Abundant City."
