Atop the grand Hundred Birds Wutong Tree, probably over a dozen small birds were perched.
They had just been rescued by the Little Crow.
However, it was quite obvious that the appearance of Su Ping and his two companions caused a flurry of panic in the flock.
If it werenât for the Little Crow acting quite the big brother at this very moment, those birds would have likely spread their wings and flown away.
Su Ping looked up. As expected, although there were many birds, their quality was actually very average.
They were the kind of flying Pet Beasts that one could buy easily, holding little value for Su Ping and the Heart of Myriad Spirits.
But Su Ping naturally wouldnât dampen the little fellowâs enthusiasm for the rescue operation it had mounted.
Moreover, it wasnât without benefits. The more birds there were on the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree, the stronger the flock effect would be, naturally attracting even more avian species to gather.
Even the idea he had before might need some adjustments now. He had thought that if he wanted to build a habitat for avian flying Pet Beasts, he might have to create a closed-off venue.
There was just one issue that needed to be addressed. Indeed, how was Su Ping going to make these flying Pet Beasts obey him? Once they had the first batch of obedient ones, future birds would adapt and naturally converge here without needing training.
This wasnât a difficult task either, because his Talent could finally show its effect and use! Home of All Spirits!
After the Breeder Contest ended, he was rewarded with a Soul Fruit that enhanced his Talent. However, Su Ping hadnât yet tried this other function that came with his Talent.
As long as they were in the Beast Taming Space, any Pet Beasts entering it couldnât resist some of his commands, allowing for a short-term taming effect.
"Toothy!"
"GAGA!"
The Little Crow hovered joyfully over Su Pingâs head before promptly settling on his shoulder, its excitement palpable.
"This kind of thing is dangerous. If you want to do something like it in the future, tell me first, got it?"
"GAGA!"
Su Ping didnât scold the Little Crow. As long as it hadnât hurt anyone, what did compensating with a bit of money matter?
Moreover, for the Little Crow, this was indeed an act of righteous valor.
"Iâll give you some time. Gather all these little ones you brought. Tonight, theyâre going to my Beast Taming Space for a class!"
"GAGA!"
Old Liu and Master Zhu Hong looked quizzically at the young man.
A class in the evening? That phrase was actually quite common in Breeder circles, especially among some unorthodox old Breeders when speaking to female students. But Master Su Da was scheduling evening classes for a bunch of birds?
Master Zhu Hong gave a helpless smile and then asked, "Speaking of which, with your Heart of Myriad Spirits, are you still planning to create a new breeding base for birds?"
Su Ping nodded.
"Itâs certainly something for the future."
"Your energy is indeed impressive, Su Ping, but manpower is ultimately finite. Iâll repeat what Iâve said before: if you want to do this, getting help from other Breeders is a necessary part of the process! With your Talent and intelligence, Iâm not worried that dabbling in too many things will lead to a jumble of superficial knowledge, but you must remember that."
As Master Zhu Hong brought this up again, Su Ping smiled and nodded, "Donât worry, Iâve already started looking for some!"
There was still no news about the Xue Family members Dong Muyun was searching for.
However, regarding the construction of the Heart of Soul for the Necromancy System, that person named Bai Cang had been doing quite well recently.
If possible, it wouldnât be bad to have him stay at the Heart of Soul, part of the Heart of Myriad Spirits, in the future.
Coincidentally, Su Ping had two Cultivation Methods for sword-type Necromancy Series Pet Beasts that he hadnât yet tried. These were for none other than the Immortal White Bone Sword and the Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword, which had originally belonged to Yu Liangqing.
"Well, thatâs good," Master Zhu said. "Speaking of which, have you thought about how you will arrange the area for these avian Pet Beasts?"
This Breeding Master indeed possessed an understanding of and insight into many Pet Beasts that was far beyond ordinary.
Su Ping didnât feign understanding and honestly shook his head, "I havenât thought it through yet. However, with the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree here, this place is quite nice."
"Nice it may be, but judging by your usual standards, youâre clearly not satisfied! Avian-type flying Pet Beasts usually nest in forests. However, for these avian Pet Beasts, the requirements for the woods they inhabit arenât too demanding. Also, the taller the trees, the better. After all, the taller the forest, the safer it is for these avian Pet Beasts..."
Master Zhu mused for a moment, squinting slightly as he glanced over the area again, then suggested, "Well then, donât worry about it. Iâll help you complete this breeding base for the birds. Consider it my chance to be involved in the cultivation of the Five Elements Body, and itâll be my payment to you!"
Su Ping was startled, then pleased. "If thatâs the case, then thank you very much, Master Zhu."
He certainly trusted Master Zhuâs capabilities, so he didnât stand on ceremony. Such a task might be a hassle for him, but it likely wasnât a big deal for Master Zhu.
There was no reason to distrust a personal promise from a Breeding Master.
"Hmm, in about half a month, Da Huang should complete its evolution. Iâll need to leave Linzhou by then, so consider this my parting gift. But... have you thought of a name for this place yet?"
