Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 637 Tree Spirit

I need to go out for a bit.

Seeing Joanna sitting in the store waiting, Su Ping said as he walked out of the testing room.

Joanna's eyes narrowed slightly. Su Ping at this moment was quite different from before. From Su Ping's body, she vaguely sensed an aura of apprehension, an aura that was extremely ancient, even older than the gods she had ever seen...

Joanna was already used to Su Ping's mysteriousness and asked, "Aren't you planning to open for business?"

If the shop is open, she can help out, which will only benefit her in becoming an excellent employee sooner.

"The shop...you can open the shop for me."

Su Ping thought for a moment. Although he had a lot to do and couldn't be in two places at once, he couldn't neglect the shop's operation. Otherwise, if something really happened, his biggest trump card would still be the shop and the system!

Looking at the shop's sales figures, Su Ping realized that his trip to Chaos Heavenly Sun Star had only cost him a few hundred thousand energy points, much less than he had imagined.

He was lucky to find a treasure like the Extreme Yang Divine Fruit Tree as soon as he entered, which increased his resistance. Otherwise, he would have died hundreds of times just by staying inside for a dozen days.

"You plant this tree for me."

Thinking of the Extreme Yang Divine Fruit Tree, Su Ping flipped his hand and took out the scroll.

As soon as he opened the scroll, a burst of intense heat erupted out like a volcanic eruption. Su Ping was startled, and then he realized that the world inside the scroll... had completely blurred!

A complete burnt mess!

The once lush green mountains and clear waters have now been turned into scorched, black rocky land!

The Star Essence Tree planted inside... has also disappeared!

This Star Essence Spirit Tree is a rare treasure tree. Although it is inferior to the Extreme Yang Divine Tree, its fruit is a supreme treasure for titled experts!

And now, that tree is gone!

"Hey, where's that guy...?"

Su Ping suddenly noticed that Yan Bingyue, whom he had imprisoned in the painting, was also gone!

He was burned to death?!

"..."

Su Ping was speechless. The domineering nature of this Extreme Yang Divine Fruit Tree was beyond his imagination. It had turned the painting into a ruined hell simply by being temporarily placed in it!

"You've finally come out!"

Just as Su Ping was marveling at the domineering nature of the Extreme Yang Divine Fruit Tree, a voice suddenly uttered through gritted teeth.

Su Ping was stunned. The voice was very familiar. He stared intently and suddenly discovered that a semi-transparent spirit was floating out from the Extreme Yang Divine Fruit Tree. It was Yan Bingyue!

She's not dead?

No, it's not completely dead...

Su Ping's lips twitched. He could tell at a glance that Yan Bingyue was already a spirit. Her physical body no longer existed, and her soul had not been absorbed by the Netherworld. Instead, it remained here.

"You've got me killed, you know that?!"

Upon seeing Su Ping, Yan Bingyue spoke angrily.

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She had been doing well inside the painting and was always looking for an opportunity to get Su Ping to let her out. But then, one day, while she was cultivating, a divine tree with boiling flames fell from the sky and, to make matters worse, landed right on her!

She was completely melted before she could even scream!

The body was directly transformed into steam and nutrients, which were absorbed by the divine tree!

Before she could react, she discovered that her consciousness was also imprisoned within the trunk of the golden divine tree, and she was unable to leave!

After a long period of time, she finally slowly accepted reality.

She is now "dead".

Only one lonely soul remains, imprisoned by this divine tree!

"I didn't mean to..." Su Ping wanted to explain, but when he said it, he felt that it was not very convincing.

He didn't do it on purpose, but the other person did hang up.

Even the world depicted in this painting is charred; this guy must have died a very painful death.

Tsk…

"What's with that expression?" Yan Bingyue looked at Su Ping with a gloomy face. "You don't seem sad at all, and you don't seem to feel any remorse?"

"Don't say that. I'm very sad. My heart is bleeding... but it's bleeding into other veins," Su Ping sighed.

Seeing Su Ping's "sad" expression, Yan Bingyue almost ground her teeth to powder.

She knew that Su Ping harbored resentment and murderous intent towards her because she had almost killed Su Ping's sister back then, which was why he had never let her go!

But you didn't manage to kill your sister, did you?

I've been locked up for so long, haven't you had enough time to vent your frustrations?!

"You'll die a horrible death!" Yan Bingyue cursed angrily.

Now that she has already considered herself dead, she no longer expects Su Ping to spare her a "way out".

"Is there such a thing as good or bad in death?" Su Ping looked at her for a moment, then asked in confusion, "By the way, if you're dead, why are you still here? Your spirit... seems to have merged with this divine tree?"

"snort!"

Yan Bingyue snorted angrily, crossed her arms, and said, "It's all your fault! Now I can't even be reincarnated!"

Su Ping shook his head and said, "This is not my fault. Besides, who told you that you would be reincarnated after you die? Have you ever been to the Netherworld? The dead spirits there are just wandering souls. You should thank this divine tree for being able to stay here."

Yan Bingyue sneered, "You talk as if you've actually been there."

"Of course I'll go..." Su Ping said, knowing this explanation was pointless and too lazy to argue with her. He mentally asked the system, "This guy's situation is a bit special. Do you know why?"

"Is that even a question? Obviously, she has been assimilated by the divine tree and become its companion spirit," the system said calmly, seemingly accustomed to this situation.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. "A companion spirit?"

"This divine tree is not very old, and its consciousness has not yet fully formed. Now it has been invaded by her consciousness. You can understand that she is now the tree spirit of this divine tree!" the system said.

Su Ping was taken aback.

Tree Spirit?

This guy became the spirit of a sacred tree?!

"Then... wouldn't she be able to control this divine tree now?" Su Ping asked hurriedly.

"certainly."

"..."

Su Ping was speechless. He hadn't expected that Yan Bingyue would become the tree spirit of this divine tree. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for her.

However, since this guy is a tree spirit, then for him to cultivate this divine tree is the same as cultivating this guy.

Thinking about this, Su Ping suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Can we separate this guy from the divine tree?" Su Ping asked.

"Of course you can, but with your current abilities, don't even think about it," the system said calmly.

Su Ping was speechless.

Looking at Yan Bingyue, whose body was half-floating in the treetop with gritted teeth, Su Ping felt somewhat helpless. He said, "Don't look at me like that. You look like a vengeful ghost."

Upon hearing the words "vengeful ghost," Yan Bingyue's previously calmed emotions surged, and she roared, "Who made me look like this? It's all your fault!!"

"Mmm..."

Su Ping nodded repeatedly, then said, "Now I'll give you a choice."

"I won't choose!"

"Either I destroy you, or you obey me and maybe you'll gain your freedom later," Su Ping said.

"Destroy? I've already died, why would I be afraid of you?" Yan Bingyue shouted.

Su Ping sighed, "You haven't really died. You've just lost your body. True death is when your consciousness dissipates. At least you can still speak, right?"

"What do you mean it's just a body that's gone? Do you know how important a body is to a woman?!"

"..."

"Think it over carefully. Do you want your consciousness to completely dissipate, or do you choose to reside in this divine tree? As long as you cooperate obediently, one day I will give you your freedom," Su Ping coughed lightly and said earnestly.

"Can I trust you?"

You can only trust me.

"You're shameless!"

Choose.

"I won't choose!"

"Well, you asked for it."

Su Ping raised his hand and directly extracted the divine tree.

The intense heat emanating from the divine tree posed no threat to Su Ping, and while the heat swept through the entire shop, the shop remained completely unaffected.

"What kind of tree is this?"

Beside her, Joanna was startled when she saw the divine tree that Su Ping suddenly pulled out. She took a half step back, and the scorching heat emanating from the divine tree immediately caused fine beads of sweat to seep onto her cheeks.

Soon, golden light appeared on Joanna's body, enveloped in divine power.

Whoosh!

A tree branch suddenly swept towards Su Ping.

Su Ping raised his hand and easily caught it.

"you!"

Yan Bingyue's expression changed instantly; she hadn't expected Su Ping to be able to easily withstand her sneak attack.

During this time, after being imprisoned by the divine tree, she gradually realized that she was different now. First, her perception was more acute than before. Second, she could feel that she could control the divine tree, and that the divine tree had extremely strong destructive power. This was also the reason why, although she hated Su Ping, she didn't hate him that much.

Although she no longer has a physical body, her strength is now dozens of times greater than before!

"So you were planning to turn the tables on me, huh?" Su Ping said helplessly. "I gave this to you, and you actually think you can threaten me?"

Yan Bingyue's expression shifted between light and dark.

"Alright, there's no hope left. Make your choice." Su Ping loosened his grip on the branch, his expression turning indifferent.

Seeing that Su Ping was serious this time, Yan Bingyue's eyes showed a struggle, but in the end she was somewhat dejected and said, "I understand."

Su Ping nodded and said to Joanna beside him, "I'm leaving her in your care. Take good care of her. By the way, have you ever seen this kind of tree before? I'm called the Extreme Yang Divine Tree. Do you know how to cultivate it?"

Joanna froze, a hint of shock in her eyes, and said, "This is the Extreme Yang Divine Tree, one of the five great divine trees of the fire element?"

"The Five Divine Trees of the Fire Element?" Su Ping raised an eyebrow. "I don't know."

Joanna was already used to Su Ping's uneven academic performance, and the shock in her eyes gradually subsided. She looked him up and down for a moment, her expression somewhat complicated, and said, "You actually found something so precious on this trip! It's rumored that this thing is extinct; it's a sacred tree that only existed in ancient times!"

Su Ping shrugged. This was indeed done at Taikoo.

"Since you know how to cultivate it, I'll leave it to you. These fruits are quite valuable. You should also try to produce a few fruits as soon as possible so I can sell them for money," Su Ping said.

Besides being eaten by him and his pet beasts, the fruit of this Extreme Yang Divine Tree would probably be a super hot seller if sold in the shop!

After all, this is a divine fruit that can directly elevate fire-type abilities to an extremely high level!

For some fire-type pets, this is absolutely top-tier pet food!

"You're the one who produces fruit, your whole family produces fruit!" Yan Bingyue retorted angrily.

Su Ping glanced at her, too lazy to pay her any attention.

"I understand." Joanna agreed with a complicated expression. The Extreme Yang Divine Tree that nurtured the five great divine trees of the fire element was something she could hardly imagine, even with her knowledge. It was a rare and extinct divine object!

"This scroll is ruined. I'll have to find another place to store treasures. The system's storage space is too small." Su Ping looked at the scroll in his hand. It was no longer suitable for storing anything. The edges of the scroll were charred and could collapse at any time. Once it collapsed, the space inside would also collapse. He dared not risk putting important things inside to store.

Shaking his head, Su Ping tossed the scroll to Joanna. He thought of the Netherworld Ghost Chain Beast he had caught in the abyss. It was a demonic beast with the bloodline of the Heavenly Fate Realm. It was currently only at the Void Realm, but it was still quite valuable to cultivate, since there was a small probability that it could evolve into a Starry Sky-level Ghost King Six Paths Beast.

"Keep this in the shop for now and sell it to someone trustworthy." Su Ping transferred the Netherworld Ghost Chain Beast from the beast-catching ring to the shop's sale page. A dark cloud of ghostly mist appeared, and the Netherworld Ghost Chain Beast's figure appeared in the shop, but its body was ten times smaller than before.

His body lay prone on the ground, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, yet he dared not move.

Joanna's gaze sharpened when she saw the Netherworld Ghost Chain Beast, but she quickly regained her composure. Although this beast was rare, she had seen far too many powerful monsters, so this was nothing special.

In addition to the Netherworld Ghost Chain Beast, Su Ping also released other king beasts he had captured in the abyss.

Most of the other royal beasts are also at the Void Realm cultivation level, which is already the highest limit of their bloodline. Most of them are at their peak and are not worth cultivating.

Su Ping planned to sell them all. Just then, he received news that the world was in chaos and beast tides were everywhere. Selling these monsters to legendary figures could also enhance the human side's fighting strength.

Unfortunately, these are all Void Realm cultivators, which can only be sold to Legendary cultivators. Titled cultivators cannot sign contracts with them. Otherwise, Su Ping would have liked to sell one or two to the Sword Master, since he doesn't have many Titled cultivators with whom he has a close relationship, and he trusts the Sword Master's character quite a bit.

"List these first, and sell them when I get back," Su Ping said to Joanna. After all, these were all Void Realm demon beasts, and selling them to strangers would be too dangerous. Su Ping wanted to personally screen and select them.

"it is good."

Joanna agreed.

Joanna wasn't too surprised that Su Ping had pulled out so many king-level beasts at once. After all, she knew Su Ping's strength quite well, and there was an unknown power behind him. Even if Su Ping suddenly gave her a star-level demon beast, she could accept it.

Beside her, Yan Bingyue, suspended in the treetop, stared at the numerous royal beasts lying in the shop, her mouth agape in astonishment.

She had been trapped in the painting, and her understanding of Su Ping was still limited to the time when Su Ping defeated the Tang family. However, the sight of these king beasts everywhere broadened her horizons.

She felt as if she had missed a lot, lost in the painting, unaware of the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, this guy has become this strong?

She was wary and dared not provoke Su Ping again.

"I'm going to find someone to ask about something," Su Ping said to Joanna, handing the shop over to her.

Joanna nodded.
