Chapter 133: Chapter 114: Paperman’s Diary, the Concept of Paper Body Joint!
The voice on the other end of the phone, although still as calm as if it belonged to a lifeform that wasn’t entirely normal, now carried a thread of urgency rarely heard before.
Clearly, the wolf in the video footage, resembling a Kylin, had made a tremendous impact on him.
"A brand-new Forest Wolf Evolver, cultivated by Su Ping!" Qin Erlong stated.
Silence fell on the other end of the line for a moment before the voice finally said, "When winter break comes and there’s time, have that young man visit the Magic Capital. Around then, Xiao Xue should be evolving into the Crown Wolf Emperor."
The call ended, and Qin Erlong smiled faintly.
After some thought, he sent Qin Xiaoxue a message: "Xiao Xue, how have you been lately..."
...
Autumn arrived. However, Jianghai Province, being a coastal region and somewhat southern, felt none of the cold. In fact, the trees and flowers near the Heart of Wood Cultivation Base were still in full bloom.
This was partly due to the season, but even more so because the presence of the Forest Wolves had enhanced the plants’ Life Force.
Pet Beasts were indeed miraculous beings, capable of freely influencing the environment around them.
The autumn atmosphere also couldn’t affect the current state of the Heart of Wood Cultivation Base.
Both inside and out, it could be described as bustling with activity.
Externally, Su Ping had taken over the Yuntian Resort business from Dong Muyun.
He had the high walls separating the two properties demolished and a connecting passageway constructed.
The land deeds for the entirety of Heart of Woods were now completely combined.
It wasn’t just the land deeds; Su Ping also took on most of Yun Tian’s remaining staff, excluding a few high-level managers.
Yun Tian’s business was decent. Excluding the initial investments, it could still turn a considerable profit if one only counted labor expenses.
Combined with Su Ping’s own Pet Beast Cultivation enterprise, it almost seemed like a powerful alliance was forming.
However, Su Ping still preferred his peace and quiet. So, even though the two businesses were connected, the Heart of Woods side still saw little personnel traffic.
Then there was Guan Qianshan.
Lao Guan certainly never expected that in just over half a month, he would once again become the manager of Yuntian Resort.
No, that’s not right! he thought. It’s no longer Yuntian Resort, but the Heart of Woods Pet Beast Service Base!
Undoubtedly, the personnel from Yun Tian greatly alleviated the previous rush of business on Lao Guan’s side. However, as the manager now responsible for the entire Heart of Woods, his job wasn’t much easier than before.
While the external operations of Heart of Woods were bustling, the internal affairs were just as hectic.
"Chew! I told you not to just swallow it without thinking, like you’re gobbling down a ginseng fruit!" Su Ping instructed.
"Go and carefully experience the texture of the wood. Feel the sensation as it enters your mouths and stomachs, merging with the changes in your wood nature!"
"You! If you move restlessly again... Old Sha! Prepare to be tied up!"
"AWOO!"
The day after returning from the Secret Realm, Su Ping methodically began the cultivation and evolution process for the Wanmu Wolves. So far, it had progressed smoothly.
Out of the ten Legion Forest Wolves, a full four had already grasped Photosynthesis, leaving six remaining.
Su Ping shook his head, instead focusing his attention on Old Sha. It had recovered over the past few days, but Su Ping also knew that the formulas for those three Skills placed a certain strain on both its spirit and body.
However, far from worrying, I actually breathed a genuine sigh of relief, Su Ping thought. Otherwise, those skill formulas would be too absurdly powerful, so powerful that I’d even worry about potential problems arising. Now, with certain limitations, it all seems relatively more reasonable.
The four Forest Wolves that had already mastered Photosynthesis had been ’planted’ in spots outside the forest where sunshine was plentiful, and positioned so they wouldn’t interfere with each other’s sunlight absorption.
Unfortunately, luck hadn’t been on their side. The weather had been somewhat gloomy recently, with the Sun not making many appearances, which slowed the Photosynthesis cultivation progress for the wolves that had just begun.
Su Ping wasn’t in a hurry. With the support of the Beast Tamer Legion and ample resources at his disposal, he could provide sunflower seeds and spring water generously.
He had, however, gotten his hands on the smiley sunflower seeds. He placed them in the Beast Taming Space but wasn’t in a hurry to plant them. Aside from the Wanmu Wolf cultivation, part of his mental energy was focused on the inheritance of the Fengdu Sword King.
This inheritance included not just the Sword Soul, but also many of the Fengdu Sword King’s insights regarding Sword Type Pet Beasts.
This had given Su Ping a certain level of in-depth understanding, even though he had never truly come into close contact with these Sword Type Pet Beasts.
However, truth be told, Su Ping’s main focus these past few days had been on investigating one particular matter!
After checking on the Wanmu Wolf cultivation, Su Ping’s phone rang. It was Sun Chaoju, whom he hadn’t seen in quite a while. He quickly answered the call.
"Hello? Breeder Sun?"
"Tsk, tsk, you kid. We haven’t been in touch for so long, and now you’re acting so formal?" Sun Chaoju’s voice came through. "Just call me Sun Ge."
"Alright, Sun Ge. Is there something you need?" Su Ping asked, not rejecting the other’s warmth.
It’s like the saying goes, Su Ping thought. When you become strong yourself, you find that most people you meet are good. Sun Chaoju is like that, and so is Dong Muyun.
"Last time, didn’t you ask me to help find a skilled Breeder in Linzhou who specializes in Papermen?" Sun Chaoju continued.
Su Ping’s heart stirred.
Indeed, these past few days, his most important task had been searching for information about Papermen.
