Chapter 13: The Cultivation Method for Toxic Lineage Mutation
Chapter 13: The Cultivation Method for Toxic Lineage Mutation
Inside the infirmary, the fully recovered Little Dot eagerly watched as Su Ping held the magic potion vessel.
It recognized this object; after their king consumed it, his power had increased significantly.
The owner of their king before them had not deceived it!
Clearly, Little Dot lacked the sensitivity and intelligence of Old Sha, or perhaps the disdainful gaze from Xiao Qing earlier had stirred a deep yearning for strength within the young wolf, surpassing all else.
Su Ping, without hesitation, took out the frozen Wood Core potion, a jelly-like substance with a medicinal scent, and directly fed it to Little Dot.
Su Ping had to admit he had some ulterior motives; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Little Dot test the potion first.
The result did not disappoint.
A low roar echoed, and the scene from earlier that morning repeated itself.
However, unlike Old Sha's brief transformation, Little Dot's lasted a full ten minutes.
Emerald starlight dotted the young wolf's body, slightly larger than before.
Is this...
Before Su Ping could fully observe the changes, the Wolf Chronicle provided feedback and a prompt:
[Successfully granted associated pet beast the skills: Heart of Wood, Accelerated Growth, and raised its rank. Bestiary experience +10 points!]
This time, the experience gained was significantly less, perhaps due to Little Dot's low level or the repeated use of magic potions for enhancement, causing the Wolf Chronicle's data on the young wolf to become repetitive.
But Su Ping wasn't in the mood to care about that right now. Using True Eye, he observed Little Dot at this moment:
[Wolf (Wild)]
[Current Level: Common Sixth Rank]
[Race Potential: Elite Rank 10]
[Skills: Sunlight Absorption (Beginner), Accelerated Growth (Beginner), Heart of Wood (Beginner)]
As expected!
Su Ping's eyes shone with joy.
Little Dot's level had also advanced, and the magnitude of the improvement surprised even him. A single bottle of the Wood Core potion elevated Little Dot from Common Tier 3 to Common Tier 6.
No wonder it was a perfect potion formula from the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, and no wonder it was crafted by the future Master Breeder himself.
Su Ping was thoroughly satisfied.
Before he could revel in his accomplishment, his sleeve was tugged.
As expected, it was Xiao Qing.
Seeing her opponent, whom she had previously looked down upon, surpass her in strength and aura in such a short time, Xiao Qing couldn't sit still.
"Woof... Woof..."
Looking at his unambitious pet beast, Su Ping laughed, "Don't worry, you'll get your turn."
He had already prepared another bottle of the 'Heart of Wood' potion. Seeing the magic potion that had overwhelmed her earlier, Xiao Qing gulped it down in one go.
A faint emerald glow enveloped Xiao Qing, but Su Ping's breath quickened at that moment.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous; that was the very reason he had chosen to let Little Dot give it a try first.
But despite Little Dot's success, Xiao Qing was different from the other Forest Wolves.
Xiao Qing's Toxic Lineage mutation had already set her apart from the rest.
The Heartwood Sorcery Elixir, primarily Wood-attributed, might react differently with Xiao Qing, and this was yet to be seen.
In the medical room, Su Ping had prepared everything for the gastric lavage and treatment, his eyes fixed on Xiao Qing, not blinking as he watched the gradual changes.
The emerald green light particles still covered Xiao Qing's body, and waves of power emanated from her.
As the minutes ticked by, a bead of sweat formed on Su Ping's forehead.
Ten minutes had passed, the same amount of time it took for Little Dot to consume and digest the elixir, but now, fifteen minutes had gone by.
Yet, the emerald green light particles on Xiao Qing's body showed no signs of fading; instead, they deepened in color, turning slightly ebony green.
It was almost like the original color of the Heartwood Sorcery Elixir.
Su Ping grew restless, his True Eye constantly active, never taking his gaze off Xiao Qing.
However, even with the True Eye, he couldn't fully analyze Xiao Qing's current state.
The life monitoring instrument beside him showed that Xiao Qing's vital signs remained stable, which slightly relieved Su Ping.
Finally, just as Su Ping was getting impatient, the ebony green light particles seemed to settle. Accompanied by a not-so-loud sound, a howl that no longer carried the previous infantile tone, echoed through the medical room.
The light particles vanished, and Xiao Qing reappeared before Su Ping.
But once again, before Su Ping could examine Xiao Qing's changes with his True Eye, the Beast Book responded even faster, providing the most extraordinary feedback!
【Successfully enabled the Companion Beast to acquire the skill: Mutated Toxic Heart of Wood, and its rank has increased. The race's upper limit has been raised, and the Bestiary has gained 50 points of experience!】
【A preliminary analysis of the Forest Wolf's Toxic Lineage mutation reason has been conducted. You can consume 50,000 experience points from the Beast Book to forcefully analyze the reason for the Forest Wolf's Toxic Lineage mutation and obtain the mutation cultivation method.】
Upon seeing the feedback from the Forest Wolf entry in the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, even Su Ping couldn't help but blink, momentarily overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information.
Was this not a bit too much information at once? However, he recalled that previously, the Beast Book had stated that by spending time with Xiao Qing and gaining experience, there was a chance to analyze the reason for the bloodline mutation.
But Su Ping never expected this day to come so soon.
The glaring 50,000 Bestiary experience points required for analysis were indeed a hefty cost, but nonetheless, it provided a glimmer of hope, didn't it?
If he could master the cultivation method for the Forest Wolf's Toxic Lineage mutation, then the future of the Heartwood cultivation research, as his unreliable father had said, might truly become the best in Jianghai Province, or even the entire Dragon Kingdom!
But 50,000 experience points were still a distant goal.
Su Ping suppressed his excitement and, with even greater anticipation, turned his attention to Xiao Qing's changes after consuming the Heartwood Sorcery Elixir.
