Although the profit margin the middleman was making was indeed a bit excessive, fortunately, the Forest Wolfâs experience gain had become relatively saturated. The Forest Wolf Catalogâs upgrade no longer solely required Experience Points but rather a certain number of branch Evolutions. Therefore, the nearly fixed daily gain of Forest Wolf Experience Points was relatively inconsequential.
These 1,500 points of Mist Pine experience could be exchanged for using 3,000 Forest Wolf Experience Points through the Forest Wolf Catalog.
Thinking of this, Su Ping didnât hesitate and immediately completed the exchange.
Su Ping wasnât particularly interested in upgrading the Mist Pineâs Catalog Level. Some Pet Beasts could be cultivated in large quantities, but others were not suitable. The Mist Pine was one such case; the only Evolutionary Body developed for it so far was the Fogbound River Pine.
After two exchanges, 3,000 Forest Wolf Experience Points were converted into experience for the Mist Pine, which he then applied to it.
Instantly, as the Cultivation Method was perfected, Su Ping already had a clear understanding.
He pretended to snap out of his deep thoughts. Looking at Shangguan Ye beside him with a âdeterminedâ gaze and an exceptionally âearnestâ expression, he began, "Senior Shangguan, Iâve had some ideas and would like to give them a try."
Shangguan Ye replied, sounding somewhat helpless, "I know your Cultivation Talent surpasses ordinary people, Su Ping. It doesnât matter that you previously had no understanding of cultivating Plant-based Pet Beasts. The changes in cultivating such Pet Beasts, especially when it involves a Spirit Land, are subtle and transformative. Furthermore, differences in Plant System Spirit Lands might affect the Pet Beastsâ Evolution. The official Cultivation and Evolution Law for the Fogbound River Pine doesnât mention Spirit Lands because these effects havenât been fully cataloged and stabilized yet..."
Su Ping stroked his chin and nodded. "I see."
"So, you should first try a regular, conventional Evolution! First, get a clear grasp of basic Plant System Cultivation. Practice it several times to gain Proficiency before delving deeper; that would be better," Shangguan Ye suggested earnestly.
To him, if it werenât Su Ping but one of his novice students, would they even dream of directly attempting Pet Beast Evolution? They wouldnât even be allowed to touch Skill Cultivation for Plant-based Pet Beasts! Theyâd have to start by planting trees for half a year and fully familiarize themselves with all the basic theories. Only then would it be appropriate to discuss Cultivation.
However, what left Shangguan Ye speechless was Su Pingâs next statement, delivered with âutter confidence,â "Thatâs just because I havenât touched this Domain yet. The Mist Pine is merely the first Pet Beast Iâve altered, but it certainly wonât be the last!"
Looking at Su Pingâs firm expression, Shangguan Ye, surprisingly, found himself believing him a little. This young man indeed seemed enveloped in an aura of miracles.
Even though in his heart he still felt it was a bit far-fetched.
Nevertheless, at that moment, he couldnât find any convincing argument or reason and could only turn to look at Li Shu, Su Pingâs classmate. "Student Li, has Breeder Su Ping ever been involved in the Cultivation of Plant-based Pet Beasts before?"
Li Shu turned around and said, "Not at all. But if Bro Ping says he can do it, then he definitely can!"
Shangguan Ye glanced speechlessly at this brat who never missed a chance to flatter, then nodded.
Fine, so be it. After all, itâs this bratâs own financial foundation and resources. Let him mess around all he wants.
Shangguan Ye turned to Su Ping. "Since thatâs the case, what do you plan to do?"
Su Ping waved his hand decisively and declared, "The Mist Pine has now reached Commandant Ninth Rank and can indeed undergo Evolution. Letâs start today! I want to use the Spirit Land and resources together to complete the Mist Pineâs Evolution..."
Shangguan Ye was speechless.
Still, my thinking hadnât changed. Let the brat struggle and hit a wall first. Iâll just watch from here and do my best to ensure the Mist Pine doesnât face any real danger. That should be enough.
Thus, the three of them moved to the bridge above the Heart of Water. At Su Pingâs command, the cool Mist Pine first entered Su Pingâs Beast Taming Space and was brought back to the Heart of Woods area.
The three finally stepped into the Spirit Land that Su Ping had now named the Heart of Spring.
Just as they stepped inside, Shangguan Ye gasped in astonishment and exclaimed, "This Spirit Land of yours must be at Monarch Level or above, right? Such an enormous degree of Energy, and this effect is truly extraordinary! It seems that the geomancy secret technique legacy youâve obtained, Su Ping, is not ordinary at all!"
Su Ping chuckled. "Heh, you flatter me, Senior. Letâs place the Mist Pine first."
Arriving beside the Yunshui Qinglian, Shangguan Ye marveled again. He showed no intention of prying, but couldnât help saying with envy, "A multi-Attribute Spirit Land, and the balance is quite good. Su Ping, if possible in the future, could I borrow this Spirit Land? Of course, rest assured Iâll pay for its use! If I have the chance, my Pet Beasts advancing to Emperor might benefit from this place."
Su Ping nodded. "Senior Shangguan, why be so courteous? Whenever you want to use it, just let me know in advance..."
Iâll have to discuss it with Biyao Chunshen first...
Of course, Su Ping only thought that last part to himself.
Su Ping summoned the Mist Pine and brought it beside the Yunshui Qinglian.
The Yunshui Qinglian did not refuse. Although the pool was small, the Yunshui Qinglian had not yet fully matured and occupied less than one-twentieth of the poolâs area, so the Mist Pineâs root system wouldnât affect it much.
