Chapter 3: Forest Wolf Bestiary, Mana Potion: 'Heart of Wood'

As Su Ping's gaze focused, the only illuminated pattern on the Omniscient Beast Atlas slowly enlarged and appeared before him.

【Bestiary: Forest Wolf】

【A special wolf breed skilled in using Wood Attributes, with exceptional vitality. Adult Forest Wolves are Elite Rank and possess skills such as Sunlight Absorption, Vine Strangulation, Self-Healing, and Accelerated Growth.】

【Current Bestiary Level: 1 (300/500)】

Known Evolution Chart, Special Cultivation Method:

【None Discovered】

Likes and Habits:

【Enjoys basking in the sun, playing in forests, group activities, and has higher combat power during daytime or in forested areas.】

Record Log:

【Encountered and interacted with a Poison Attribute mutated Forest Wolf, fulfilling the Affinity requirement, gaining +300 Bestiary Experience!】

【This Forest Wolf is a special mutated variant. For every day spent with it, gain +500 Bestiary Experience. Each day spent together increases the chance of discovering the reason for its mutation. Alternatively, a large amount of Bestiary Experience can be consumed to analyze the mutation.】

【Daily Bestiary Experience is gained based on the number and rank of interacted creatures, enhancing Affinity with qualified creatures to obtain more experience and complete the Bestiary, thus improving the Bestiary Level.】

As Su Ping read through the comprehensive analysis of the Forest Wolf in the Bestiary, he blinked again.

So, this Bestiary can be upgraded.

And each upgrade comes with a reward? Thinking of the True Sight he had just obtained, Su Ping's eyes lit up.

The Bestiary clearly states,

The more time spent with Bestiary creatures, the greater the number and quality, the more Bestiary Experience is earned.

But he wondered, would this apply to non-contracted Companion Beasts?

Moreover, the unlocking of the Forest Wolf Bestiary occurred only after he formed a Soul Bond with Qing.

Does this mean that all the Companion Beast Bestiaries in the Omniscient Beast Atlas require individual Soul Bonds to be unlocked? That's impossible.

After all, Beastmasters have limited Companion Beast slots.

Each Beastmaster can only contract one additional Companion Beast after a Major Rank Advancement.

In other words, Su Ping can only advance to the Elite Rank, he could contract a second Companion Beast.

However, after carefully reading through the Bestiary again, especially the text in the last line of the record, Su Ping's gaze became fixed.

Affinity! That's right, in the past month since graduating from Linzhou City, he had encountered numerous Companion Beasts, but none had unlocked their Bestiary entries. The reason must be this so-called Affinity requirement.

In other words, as long as he spends time with these Companion Beasts, even if they aren't his contracted ones, once the Affinity is high enough, they can be included in the Bestiary's upgrade requirements.

With this realization, he finally understood that his unreliable father's inheritance, the Beast Home, might actually be valuable and useful!

The idea of going on an adventure was suddenly pushed aside.

Adventure? How could it compare to the joy of farming and cultivation? Recalling his years of experience with Forest Wolves and the Heart of Wood Beast Home, Su Ping felt a surge of enthusiasm.

Holding Qing, he returned to the living room and began rummaging through Su Anyong's room, searching for what he was looking for.

It was an aged, yellowed ancient book.

In this era, such ancient books were rare, but according to his father, this was the Su family's heirloom and the key reason their Heart of Wood Breeding Base had endured until today.

In the past, his father had insisted on keeping it hidden, only allowing him to see it after he turned eighteen and awakened his talent as a Beastmaster.

Now, the book was carelessly left at the bottom of the cabinet, clearly not well-preserved.

The book had a lengthy title:

"Wolf Cultivation and Training Manual and Mana Potion Recipe: Heart of Wood"

The origin of their Beast Home lay within these pages.

According to his father, this was his grandfather's life's work and research.

Mana Potions are potions crafted from recipes, primarily used to enhance Companion Beasts.

'Heart of Wood', as it turns out, is just as it is.

The effects of potions are many, some accelerate the growth of Companion Beasts, some enhance their cultivation realms, some restore energy, some allow beasts to evolve, and some even teach beasts new skills.

Among these types of potions, those that enable beast evolution are undoubtedly the most precious, needless to say.

Apart from that, there are also potions that teach beasts new skills.

And now, the ancient book's 'Heart of Wood' Mana Potion Recipe is just as it is.

Heart of Wood is a Basic Skill, not a Super Rank Skill with effects comparable to the forbidden spells of the previous life's games.

However, it is still quite remarkable.

Azure Star's Companion Beast Skills are generally divided into Basic Skills and Super Rank Skills.

Heart of Wood is a Basic Skill, but it is an extremely rare ability. In some cases, it can be even more useful than some offensive Super Rank Skills! The effect is simple: all Wood Attribute Skills of the Companion Beast are passively enhanced, and when injured or energy-depleted, the beast can actively absorb nutrients from Linwood plants to aid in swift recovery.

This ability, combined with the Spirit Wolf's skills, is an invaluable asset when fighting in forests or grasslands.

On the entire Azure Star, there aren't many Wood-attributed beasts that naturally possess the Heart of Wood skill.

If it weren't for this 'Heart of Wood' Mana Potion Recipe, which has a chance of successful awakening when used, and the chance is quite low. Over the years, only a few beasts have successfully awakened, and this Heart of Wood potion can only be used by Spirit Wolves.

Just this potion recipe alone, not to mention its value, is likely to win the Beast Master Association's annual Beast Breeding Research Competition and gain nationwide fame!

However, as this is the family's heirloom, Su Ping has decided to focus on managing his Heart of Wood Companion Beast Breeding Base and naturally wants to master this skill.

Skipping the parts he already knows about Spirit Wolf breeding, Su Ping carefully reads the Heart of Wood recipe.

'Ingredients: Three hollow willow wood branches, one Wood Spirit Herb, three drops of Hundred Herbs Juice, and one Nectar Bee Stinger.'

'Method: Hollow willow wood branches should be fire-cooked and hand-pounded for 30 minutes, then crushed and mixed with 100ml of clear water and one drop of Hundred Herbs Juice. Pound again for 30 minutes until it becomes a paste, then add one drop of Hundred Herbs Juice and one Wood Spirit Herb. Continue pounding for 30 minutes until it becomes a pulp, then add one Nectar Bee Stinger. Finally, pound into a thick liquid and cool for six hours to form a gel, and the potion is complete.'

'Effect: After a Spirit Wolf consumes this, there's approximately a one percent chance of learning the Rare Skill: Heart of Wood, and there's a chance to enhance the beast's rank.'

'The higher the Spirit Wolf's innate talent, the higher the success rate.'"

After reading the Heart of Wood recipe from start to finish, Su Ping sighs.

Damn, no wonder such a rare and valuable skill potion recipe is so well-kept, and no one even knows about it.

It's limited to Spirit Wolves, which is fine, but the success rate is so low! Some people might be interested in researching and trying this, but it's better to directly bond with an Overlord Rank or a Soveregin Rank beast with potential, right? But I guess it's better than nothing.

Shaking his head, Su Ping is about to stand up, but at this moment, he freezes.

Because at this moment, the Omniscient Beast Atlas in his mind suddenly flips a page, and the Spirit Wolf's Bestiary appears before his eyes.

A feedback line appears in Su Ping's mind:

【Discovered Bestiary: 'Heart of Wood' Mana Potion.】

【The 'Heart of Wood' Mana Potion Recipe is incomplete. Consume 285 points of Spirit Wolf Bestiary Experience Points to complete the 'Heart of Wood' Mana Potion Recipe?】

Su Ping's eyes widen in surprise, and a look of excitement flashes in his eyes.
