Chapter 272: Mysterious Flame Sprout! The Rapid Expansion of the Heart of All Beings!

This flame sprout was too small.

Even with the naked eye, it was difficult to notice it directly.

Su Ping finally understood why multiple inspections had failed to reveal anything.

If this thing was hidden within genuine flames in the Fire Nurturing Domain, it was impossible to see anything at all.

Moreover, since it originated from the mysterious Phoenix Flame, it had various concealment abilities, which was understandable.

Su Ping heaved a long sigh and then used his mental power to ask:

"Who are you? Why are you appearing in my Beast Control Realm?"

"..."

An incomprehensible sound came from within the flame sprout.

Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously listened with his mental power.

As expected, this was the ancient Snake Language:

"Humans... Vile... Betrayers..."

The voice was intermittent, but the content made Su Ping frown immediately.

Such an impolite little flame sprout.

Su Ping continued to communicate with a furrowed brow:

"Is there some misunderstanding? Who are you?"

The other party was not polite, so Su Ping saw no need to reciprocate.

But when he asked again, the flame sprout flickered slightly and emitted another sound.

Su Ping hurriedly captured it with his mind, but the content of this sound made him startle:

"I... who... am I?"

This little flame sprout asked itself this question, and then, with a 'puh' sound,

this little thing, after a few flickers, returned to the flock of birds.

This tiny flame sprout seemed to realize it had been exposed, so under Su Ping's observation, it no longer hid itself.

However, Su Ping blinked, feeling somewhat perplexed.

This thing didn't even know who it was? Then why did it hold such a strong grudge against him, or even all of humanity?

"Speak clearly! Did you steal my Flame Fruit?"

"Hey! Talk!"

Su Ping looked at the flickering flame sprout, which showed no intention of continuing its response, and he seemed to understand.

It seemed that the ancient Snake Language it used caused a significant energy drain, preventing it from speaking further.

Was this thing really a flame element split from the Phoenix Inferno?

But it didn't seem quite right.

After all, the impact of that flame element life that had condensed into a phoenix was too profound for Su Ping.

But...

Su Ping recalled the last scene he had witnessed.

That flame that had condensed into a phoenix eventually shattered into countless flame meteors that scattered away.

Obviously, for some reason, this fire phoenix had not condensed into a true fire phoenix.

Therefore, this flame was likely just one of them! Then, its energy aura... Su Ping sensed it slightly, and even if it secretly consumed so many Flame Fruits, it was still just an ordinary level.

Was this the combination of that fire phoenix?

If so, could he contract it in the future? Once contracted, would it represent a pet beast with terrifying potential?

Of course, this idea was just a fantasy.

Putting aside other things, the words spoken by the flame sprout in the ancient Snake Language, with such deep-rooted hatred towards humanity, already indicated how difficult this would be.

But...

Betrayer? What did that mean? Su Ping was so anxious he wanted to scratch his head.

He didn't even think about it; he instantly locked onto that little flame sprout.

He wanted to capture it, but as soon as he locked onto it, it disappeared with a 'puh' sound into a nearby pile of flames...

"Tsk... It really has a personality!"

Su Ping narrowed his eyes and revealed a smile.

He hadn't tried to do this before, but now that he saw the true form of this flame sprout, he was in his Beast Control Realm, and if Su Ping wanted to, he could definitely bring it out.

However, after thinking about it, Su Ping didn't do so.

There was plenty of time, and he was indeed quite interested in this little thing.

But in his own Beast Control Realm, it could still escape.

Moreover, he was very curious about what the other party had said before, but seeing this situation, it was unlikely that it would respond to him again.

Humans, betrayers? In ancient times, this elemental fire phoenix might have been a powerful legendary existence. What happened between it and humans? Why did it hold such a strong innate grudge against humanity? And it didn't even know who it was?

Could it be that the Phoenix Flame, which had gathered the Hundred Birds, was actually in a state of amnesia? All these possibilities existed.

Precisely because of this, Su Ping didn't continue to feel anxious about investigating further.

This little thing spoke so slowly, and it didn't seem to have any memory of the Hundred Birds Phoenix?

Even if he brought it over, it wouldn't mean anything.

However, it must be said that Su Ping's curiosity was fully aroused.

What was the situation with this thing? The ancient pet beast seemed to be quite interesting indeed? So... three days later,

During these few days, Su Ping, who had been engrossed in feeding the little flame sprout with Flame Fruits, as well as nurturing Little Qing and giving lessons to the other birds, including Ya Ya, was interrupted when his room door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure strode in with a domineering aura:

"Hey, didn't we agree on this before?"

After you complete your research on breeding, can you help me with this reversion research?"

Ye Zou's face was filled with grief and anger.

Su Ping scratched his head.

If it weren't for Ye Zou's angry visit, he would have forgotten about this person. He felt a bit embarrassed:

"Haha, sorry, I forgot."

Ye Zou was filled with resentment.

However, he helplessly shook his head:

"I really don't know what you've been busy with all this time. I came to tell you that I'm returning to the Demon Capital. Tomorrow is the start of the new semester."

"Hmm? So soon?"

"Soon?"

Ye Zou glared at him.

Is it that soon? For students like them, the start of the semester at the Demon Capital Academy is quite flexible.

This is already the last few days. If they don't return for registration, it would be truly inappropriate.

"Er... How are you going back? The Dean and Miss Qin will be here later. They'll take me and Dong Muchun along the way. You, you're always busy with something. When will we start working on the reversion evolution?"

"I've been really busy lately. But speaking of which, in a few months, won't you be graduating? At that time, won't you have plenty of time?"

Su Ping didn't really mind.

"Who's as comfortable as you are? There's still the matter of after graduation. Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to a leisurely young master like you. But no matter how busy you are, don't forget the mid-year assessment. I heard from Miss Qin that you created a pet beast that shocked the world.

I look forward to seeing your astounding pet beast on the battle stage. What exactly is it?"

Ye Zou's expression turned serious, revealing his true nature, which he only showed to a select few. In its place was the indifferent and smug look that Su Ping was quite unaccustomed to seeing.

As if everything was under control, exuding supreme confidence and holding the key to success.

Why is this guy so confident?

Is his pet beast's strength truly that powerful?

But even if it's strong, can it still be as strong as Qian Yi's fifth-level state?

This is obviously impossible!

But...

When the time for the competition assessment comes, whether Qian Yi can use this ability to borrow external forces is indeed an unknown.

During their casual chat, Su Ping walked out of the room with Dong Muchun and headed to the top of the tallest building in the Cloud Heart Pavilion.

As expected, in a short while, the familiar Tengyun Number arrived and hovered in the sky above the building.

Sang Sheng and Qin Xiaoxue, who were returning, descended from above.

After some greetings, Su Ping waved goodbye to his friends who were heading back to the Demon Capital.

As for Dong Muchun, it was fine, but during this time, Ye Zou had become a close friend.

Well, Miss Qin's side was relatively special.

After bidding farewell to them, Su Ping heaved a sigh of relief.

He knew that the following time would belong solely to him.

It was also the last stretch before heading to Beiyuan.

In fact, there wasn't much time left before going to Beiyuan Province to participate in the breeding of special beast taming forces.

The reason was simple. In the Gregorian calendar, after the Lunar New Year's Eve, there were only two months left.

No mistake, read it at 69 Book Bar! 6=9, the first chapter of this novel.

Now, the winter vacation is over, and there's only less than a month left until the time comes.

Thinking of this, Su Ping stood atop the Cloud Heart Pavilion, overlooking the entire Heart of All Beings. Only then did he stretch his body.

During this time, he needed to prepare for Qing's evolution, such as breeding the two skills he had exchanged earlier for Qing's doppelganger: Life Burst and Poison Burst!

However, during this time, Ye Zou hadn't been idle at his place either.

One of the important matters was closely related to Su Ping.

It was the cooperation he had previously established with Dong Muchun, giving them the sales rights for a portion of the Time Medicine.

Although it wasn't exclusive, the Time Medicine itself wasn't unique to Ye Zou. He provided a lot of help, but the main contributors were the numerous research professors and teachers at the Demon Capital Academy.

Such a treasure that could save lives at critical moments was more valuable than the Wolf Heart and Illusion Heart currently sold by Pingyun.

Clearly, this cooperation was not only because of Su Ping's face but also due to Dong Muchun's relationship.

The specific cooperation terms were what Dong Muchun had discussed with the Demon Capital side, and Su Ping didn't bother to inquire further, continuing to be a hands-off manager. This was also the reason why this woman hadn't bothered him these days.

Time passed slowly during these days.

In the blink of an eye, several days went by.

Su Ping finally managed to reluctantly handle some of his own affairs regarding Qing's breeding and went to the office to listen to Old Guan's report on the work results during this time:

"The construction of the Heart of All Beings is proceeding smoothly."

Old Guan got straight to the point, knowing that Su Ping's time was relatively tight:

"The Soul Heart has also taken shape. The first scene, the one you previously selected, the Zombie Mausoleum, is almost complete. The construction cost, excluding the pet beast, is around 10 million..."

At the same time, the basic outline of the Zombie Mausoleum, the foundation of the Mu Yang Elementary School, and the Third Psychiatric Hospital have begun construction.

"Hmm! How's the training of that Bai Cang's Companion Beast going?" Su Ping nodded, satisfied with the speed.

"I don't know much about this, and you'll have to go see for yourself when the time comes." Elder Guan didn't speak out of turn; Companion Beast breeding wasn't his concern, and he couldn't tell much about it either.

After a brief pause, he continued, "Apart from that, the area with the special magnetic field has also been prepared for excavation and inspection.

The road opposite the entrance of the Heart of All Beings has already been demolished, along with the old residential buildings and shops.

The construction of the buildings is much faster than that of the Soul Heart and the Earth Heart.

However, due to the timing of the project, the progress is relatively slower. Regarding the bidding you mentioned earlier..."

Su Ping nodded again, not surprised, "It doesn't matter. We can do it ourselves when the time comes.

In the future, this area will mainly focus on functionality, including shops, stores, supermarkets, and the internet cafe I mentioned last time, which is dedicated to the Dream Heart.

This area is connected to the Cloud Heart, and we will develop it into an industrial chain base."

Old Guan also nodded, "As for the Earth Heart, the speed has slowed down a lot. There's no other way; the scope involved is too vast, and it's not inferior to the entire Heart of All Beings combined. It's estimated that we'll need to make a good division later."

"That's true, but... Uncle Guan, speaking of which, isn't the eastern boundary of the Heart of All Beings more than twenty kilometers away from the West Dragon Lake?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Old Guan's eyelids twitched, "Su Ping, the West Dragon Lake area isn't within the purchasable land deed range! Moreover, our Heart of All Beings is already very large, so there's no need for it..."

Old Guan tried to persuade him.

Su Ping was a little disappointed and clicked his tongue, "Alright, let's talk about it later then."

Old Guan heaved a slight sigh of relief and continued, "Apart from that, we've also purchased some Companion Beasts.

The Lipstick Smile you mentioned, we've found two stocks, but the asking price is a bit high. Each one costs over two thousand five hundred."

This price has already exceeded the value of an Overlord-level Companion Beast. However, considering the special use of the Lipstick Smile, although it's higher than the market price, it's still acceptable:

"It's fine. I've already talked to Lipstick Smile, so let's buy it. What else?"

"Er... The lower-level plant-type Companion Beasts aren't difficult to acquire. The more challenging ones are this one and the Black Water Xuan Snake, a Sovereign-rank Companion Beast, which can't be bought with money! We managed to get three Cloud Snakes through Tianyun's channels." Old Guan said helplessly.

Su Ping nodded. The inheritance of the Snake Saint was quite good, and it would be useful for the Heart of All Beings:

"Alright, I'll ask Old Liu about the juvenile Black Water Xuan Snake later. What about the Rotten Sword?"

Su Ping didn't forget about the evolution of the Rotten Sword in Yu Liangqing's inheritance.

"The Rotten Sword isn't a big problem. There are many in the West Capital Province, but shipping will take some time. It'll probably arrive in a few days. As for the twenty Fire-Eating Crows you mentioned, it's the same."

"Hmm..."

Su Ping nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, after reporting everything, Old Guan revealed the ultimate purpose of this visit:

"Xiao Ping, you're almost out of money again!"

"Almost out of money?"

Su Ping blinked, "Didn't I just give you a five-hundred-million allocation last week?"

Farming is an expensive hobby.

Especially for a realm like the Heart of All Beings.

But even after the rapid expansion of the Heart of All Beings, the spending speed still exceeded Su Ping's expectations.

Guan Qianyi sighed, "Xiao Ping, I'm not complaining about money, but the Beastmaster Association's special approval and the land deed for this place didn't cost us much. But we have so many Companion Beasts! Not to mention your billions, these Companion Beasts alone have cost us a fortune.

Our Heart of All Beings requires daily feeding, and you might not know that the ordinary food consumed daily is already in the tens of thousands! It's not feasible to be self-sufficient yet."

Upon hearing this, Su Ping nodded.

Although the Ping An Group had been 'printing money,' Su Ping still needed to think of a solution for this basic expense.

The Heart of All Beings wasn't just a business venture; it was related to the Beastmaster's Map's enhancement and development of his beast taming career. Therefore, it wasn't easy to achieve a balanced expenditure and income for the Heart of All Beings.

The issue of Companion Beast feed was already showing some constraints.

If there were more Companion Beasts in the future, finding a way to reduce feeding costs would indeed be a challenge.

Thinking of this, Su Ping also felt a headache.

If all Companion Beasts could be like Old Liu, absorbing sunlight for nutrition and reducing the need for ordinary food, that would be great.

Moreover, thinking of this, Su Ping's heart was slightly moved. Although Old Liu was hard to replicate, he thought of a special Companion Beast worth researching—the Rainbow Coral Worm.

However, before Su Ping could think further, his phone rang, and Master Zhu Hong's voice came through the call:

"Su Ping, come to the back mountain. Da Huang has evolved!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ping exhaled in relief.

Tomorrow, I'll make up for the second chapter.
