Chapter 142: New Research: Wolf Heart, a Magic Auxiliary Potion
Chapter 142: New Research: Wolf Heart, a Magic Auxiliary Potion
Mundu Advanced Beast Academy
A figure sat behind a desk, deep in thought, for what seemed like an eternity.
The woman appeared to be in her forties, yet she exuded a youthful vitality that defied her age. Her very presence seemed to radiate an aura of spiritual energy.
She was one of the top two figures in the entire Mundu Advanced Beast Academy, if not all of Mordo.
However, at this moment, she was lost in her thoughts.
She couldn't help but replay a short video on her screen.
In the video, a peculiar creature named Ten Thousand Trees Wolf, a cultivated evolution, caught her attention.
A mournful howl echoed, and the next instant, a golden sunrise bathed the wolf's body.
The massive wolf, resembling a mythical kirin, seemed to be painted with light, its entire body covered in a radiant glow.
Then, like a burst of solar brilliance, it vanished.
This display of power was nothing extraordinary for the woman.
She didn't even need to summon her contracted beast; with her mastery of spiritual energy, a mere thought was enough to stop it.
But the power exhibited by this beast, a leader-level creature, was enough to command her attention.
Hyper Skill? It seemed absurd.
Just a few months ago, Qin Erlong had called her in Linzhou, saying that her little cabbage might have taken a fancy to a young man.
She was somewhat displeased and didn't dare let her son and daughter-in-law know, but she still respected her granddaughter's wishes, knowing that she had been independent and had taken a liking to Qin Erlong.
Then, not long after, Qin Erlong called again, saying that the young man had helped Lin Wolf master the Heart of Wood skill, which was quite unique.
She was a bit surprised and became curious about this young man named Su Ping, remembering his name and wanting to see this talented individual.
Now, Qin Erlong had called again, telling her that not only had Ten Thousand Trees Wolf been successfully cultivated, but according to Liu Fuhai, it possessed a hyper skill module and might even master a hyper skill in the near future.
She was still in disbelief.
For the first time, she wondered if phones were such bizarre and uncanny things.
If it continued like this, would Qin Erlong call in two months to say that the young man was actually the secret son of Saint Dragon Legend? But the events unfolding before her eyes made her believe it.
Knock knock!
A crisp knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Come in!"
The woman smiled at Qin Xiaoxue as she entered.
"How's your preparation going?"
This time, Qin Xiaoxue didn't act as carefree as she usually did with her grandfather, but she sat down and smiled sheepishly.
"It'll take a bit more time. You said to wait until Wood Heart breaks through the racial limit, right? And..."
The woman knew what Qin Xiaoxue was about to say, and she shook her head helplessly.
"Someone once said that they wouldn't talk about personal matters until they became a Beastmaster surpassing me. I wonder if Xiaoxue still remembers who said that?"
Qin Xiaoxue stomped her foot.
"I said it! I'm not talking about it now!"
The woman nodded.
"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for Xiaoxue to surpass me. Old lady, I won't meditate and cultivate anymore. Otherwise, how will I ever win the beauty in the future?"
Qin Xiaoxue was exasperated, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright, alright, I just came to ask if Ah Chuan has been bothering you these days?"
"Yes, can you please talk to him and stop him from constantly managing his daughter?"
It was clear that the old lady was well aware of her son's behavior and understood what he meant.
Qin Xiaoxue looked annoyed.
"I asked him about the Jianghai Province's Jianghai Group and the Dong Family's Dong Muchun. I showed some interest in the Dong Family, and Dong Muchun's son, Dong Muxuan, is also in the academy, so he wants me to meet and chat with him."
As soon as she spoke, even the woman's eyebrows furrowed.
It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with her son's insistence on finding a suitable match for her granddaughter.
She was simply unhappy with this particular suitor.
"Qin Chuan is getting more and more out of hand. It's all your grandfather's fault for letting him go to Yeguo, start a company, and experience foreign things. They're not good at all."
The woman also rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
She sighed, having lost her initial enthusiasm to share Su Ping's progress with her little cabbage and make her happy.
"Alright, you can go. I'll talk to him. Rest assured, with me and your grandfather supporting you, you can do whatever you want in the future."
"Really?!"
Qin Xiaoxue's joy was evident, but she quickly regained her composure, nodding firmly.
"Okay, then I'll meditate and cultivate, and cultivate my contracted beast, striving to surpass you as soon as possible."
Qin Xiaoxue reassured herself, still searching for reasons within.
'To surpass the old lady and become a powerful Beastmaster, finding a capable breeder to help is only natural, right?'
After coming to this realization, Qin Xiaoxue, with her high ponytail swinging, left the office.
The woman smiled as she watched her little cabbage leave, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Qin Chuan."
"Hey, Mom, is there something you need?"
"What are you doing?"
"This... I'm receiving a top-tier high-level Breeder from Eagle Country. He's also from Dragon Country, and he's from Jianghai, so he's a fellow townsman of Father's, hehe. He plans to come back to Linzhou after finishing his business in Mordo."
The woman's eyebrows furrowed, but after a moment, she continued, "You don't need to worry about Xiaoxue's matters anymore. Did you hear me?"
"Mom, I..."
"Did you hear me?"
"Yes..."
The woman then added, "Also, don't always be concerned about that business and industry. Dragon Country isn't like Eagle Country across the ocean. These things aren't as important in Dragon Country. Additionally, you can interact with foreigners, but don't get too close."
After a brief pause, the woman further emphasized, "I'm reminding you of this as your mother."
However, after a while, a response came from the other end of the phone: "I understand, Senior Sang."
...
"What? You want to partner with me to register a company?"
A few days later, Su Ping, dressed in a white lab coat and smelling of a mixture of wolf tobacco and wolf dung, sat down in front of Dong Muchun again.
Su Ping looked at the woman with suspicion. What was she up to?
Dong Muchun nodded, "I've brought you all the Water Barrier Crystals from our inventory. They were originally intended for distribution on Crescent Island, but now they're not needed, so I'm offering them to you at a discounted price. I'd also like to hear your thoughts."
Su Ping's eyes lit up at the mention of Water Barrier Crystals.
However, he still looked at the woman with caution, "How much?"
"If you agree, it's free."
Su Ping immediately pulled back his neck, "Then I disagree."
Experience told him that in this world, nothing is truly free.
Dong Muchun frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Su Ping, the Heart of Wood has already grown to a considerable scale and has great potential. But it's too unregulated. With your abilities..."
Su Ping raised his hand to stop Dong Muchun from continuing, "The Heart of Wood isn't just mine. Tell me, why do you want to partner with me to start a company?"
Dong Muchun's visit this time was indeed strange.
It was clear that there were some inside stories and secrets.
Dong Muchun looked at the young man deeply.
He didn't seem to be as young as he appeared.
But Dong Muchun didn't hide anything and told him about Dong Mutian's situation.
This time, Su Ping became interested, "Wow, so the struggles among the children of wealthy families are real?"
Dong Muchun gave him a sideways glance.
Su Ping nodded, "So, you want to break away from the Dong family and start your own business, then collaborate with me? What industry do you plan to enter?"
"Of course, it's the Beast Breeding industry that you're best at!"
Su Ping looked at Dong Muchun with curiosity, as if it were obvious.
Dong Muchun shrugged, "But it seems you don't want to collaborate?"
Even if the Heart of Wood wasn't solely his, Su Ping wouldn't be willing to be a workhorse for a company in this field.
However, if he could establish a company for other industries, Su Ping was indeed quite interested.
After all, it was a trend in the development of the times.
Developing a side business was indeed necessary.
Coincidentally, Su Ping had recently made some discoveries that seemed to have potential as a side business.
So, Su Ping turned to Dong Muchun, "Does Tianyun Corporation have any businesses related to magic potions?"
Dong Muchun was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, Tianyun Corporation does have a magic potion business."
"I can indeed collaborate with you, but I won't be involved in any management. I can provide you with the formula patent, production, sales, and everything else. You'll have to handle it all personally. How does that sound?"
Dong Muchun's eyes narrowed slightly.
Incredulously, she looked at Su Ping, "Have you discovered something new again? Is it a magic potion?"
Nowadays, Dong Muchun dared not underestimate the young man before her.
This young man was too terrifying. The success of the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf was the best proof.
Not to mention, he was now a Major in the Legion and a recipient of the First-Class Merit Award.
If her brother had achieved half of what Su Ping had accomplished in the Legion over the past few days, he wouldn't have been forced to leave with his tail between his legs.
Who knew what secrets and treasures were hidden in this young man's mind, which was so different from ordinary people?
Therefore, Dong Muchun became interested right away.
Su Ping nodded, "I haven't completely formulated it yet, but I estimate it'll be done in a couple of days."
"What type of magic potion is it? What's its name?"
Dong Muchun's eyes lit up.
Su Ping smiled slightly.
He was confident because even he hadn't anticipated that things would go so smoothly beyond his imagination.
Over the past few days, Su Ping had been focusing his energy on operating the experimental machinery in the laboratory.
Finally, through these instruments, he had made further discoveries about wolf tobacco.
He found that wolf tobacco contained an extremely special substance, which he named Wolf Stimulant.
It was also because of this 'Wolf Stimulant' that wolf tobacco had such a pungent smell.
However, after purification and testing on white mice and some low-level Beasts, the Wolf Stimulant had no effect on other Beasts.
Only when given to Wolf-type Beasts during breeding, it would make them extremely excited.
This feeling was hard for Su Ping to describe.
It was like an old smoker who had quit for three days and finally got to smoke again.
It was similar to the allure of catnip for cats and cat-type Beasts.
Even larger.
After taking this Wolf Stimulant, the wolf pet would become extremely excited.
However, after the excitement, there was a price to pay.
And this price was a reduction in their own realm and a weakening of their physical condition.
Therefore, this thing was actually quite useless.
It was no wonder no one had studied it.
Su Ping speculated that the reason wolf tobacco was named as such was likely due to this effect.
It had no effect on other types of pet beasts.
But for wolf pets, and possibly all canine-type pet beasts, it had a hallucinogenic and stimulant effect.
After taking it in large quantities, it would also lead to a decrease in the pet's realm.
The only thing it lacked was the rapid addiction, otherwise, it would be a surefire way to harm those wolf pets.
However, Su Ping's thinking in research was indeed faster than the average person's.
And most importantly, he had a trump card.
Why did the perfected Heart of Wood Potion, after adding wolf tobacco, not only allow Lin Lang to perfectly learn the Heart of Wood skill, but also prevent a decrease in Lin Lang's realm, and even improve it?
So, this led to two questions.
One, apart from causing a regression in the realm after taking the Wolf Stimulant, what other beneficial effects did it have on wolf pets?
The other, what specific material formula in the Heart of Wood Potion perfectly integrated the Wolf Stimulant, eliminating the side effect of a realm decrease?
Once these two points were understood, a new discovery could be made based on these findings.
Before having the laboratory, these two processes would have required a lot of experiments and time.
But with the 'Comprehensive Pet Status Detector' in the laboratory, Su Ping solved the first problem in just one night.
He discovered that after taking the Wolf Stimulant, the wolf pet's skill learning speed would increase.
However, this advantage had little practical use, and even initially disappointed Su Ping.
If it were just this, the need for a long-term, large-scale use of Wolf Stimulant would mean high costs and little significance.
However, Su Ping then discovered another special effect.
During the time the wolf pet was under the influence of the Wolf Stimulant, all of its glands were in a highly active state of secretion.
This made the wolf pet's condition unprecedentedly good.
So, there was another effect:
The absorption of potions and resources was much better!
Whether it was resources or potions, pet beasts had drug resistance and absorption effects.
The more times they took it, the worse the effect would naturally be.
However, the existence of the Wolf Stimulant could make the wolf pet absorb the potion's effects to a very high threshold under such conditions.
Therefore, Su Ping was basically certain.
The effect of the wolf tobacco.
As long as the balance point between the wolf tobacco and the Heart of Wood Potion materials was found.
Then, by combining them, a new potion could be developed.
This potion could help wolf pets absorb resources and other potions, making the effects of other valuable resource potions fully realized!
This was what Su Ping had discovered over these days.
Of course, the final step of completing the formula was still missing.
But this last step wasn't difficult.
With the instruments, he could try again and again. After all, the main ingredient was wolf tobacco, which was abundant.
As for the other materials, they weren't much of a problem either.
Unfortunately, in the current experiments, Su Ping hadn't found a way to use this method to cause pet regression, which was somewhat disappointing.
Therefore, his enthusiasm for researching wolf tobacco dropped significantly.
If the wolf tobacco could really be developed into an auxiliary potion, it would indeed be significant.
But for Su Ping, it wasn't very helpful and lacked potential for further research.
Thus, facing Dong Mu Yun's expectant gaze, Su Ping didn't hide anything and nodded:
"A potion that can assist wolf pets in absorbing resources and other potions! However, it hasn't been fully developed and tested, so I can't guarantee it. But for Lin Lang, there's absolutely no problem. As for other wolf pets like Snow Wolves, Sand Wolves, and Flame Wolves, further experiments are needed to confirm!"
Unfortunately, part of the experiment I wanted to try didn't succeed, so it's a half-failure to me and not very meaningful.
However, if you want to start a company together, we can apply for a patent on the formula and let our company use it to make some extra money.
As for the name of this potion, let's call it Wolf Heart!"
An auxiliary potion to help absorb resources and other potions?
A failed product, not very meaningful, just to make some extra money?
Dong Mu Yun blinked, unsure whether this brat was being arrogant or speaking the truth.
Because what might be arrogance to her could be the truth for Su Ping.
So, Dong Mu Yun thought for a moment and asked:
"If the research is successful, what do you estimate the improvement in resource absorption to be, in percentage?"
"A few percent?"
Su Ping gave her a strange look, then thought back to how Lin Lang had accelerated his understanding of the Heart of Wood skill by taking the wolf tobacco.
Even if the effect was reduced after being formulated into a potion, it shouldn't be reduced too much, right?
"I can't guarantee a lot, but a 10-20% efficiency improvement should be possible!"
He rubbed the down on his chin and gave a relatively conservative estimate.
Then, he looked up and saw Dong Mu Yun's expression as if she had seen a ghost.
