Chapter 301: Simulated Wilderness Survival! Zhao Lintian's Terms!
Face, this thing, is important when it's important, and not important when it's not.
When it's important, it can even make people risk their lives for it, and when it's not, not even ten bucks can buy it.
And the value of this thing depends on whose face it is.
Undoubtedly, Su Ping's face is worth a lot!
In Rong Mang's understanding, his cousin is an exceptional breeder.
Even his aunt, Rong Qiu, praises him as an exceptional breeder.
Being able to win the breeding tournament at such a young age and being able to breed the so-called super-rank skill are all remarkable achievements.
However, in Rong Mang's understanding, just how remarkable these achievements are, he actually doesn't have a clear concept of it.
The main reason Rong Mang follows Su Ping is still because of Grandfather's importance and Father's orders.
But, his lack of understanding doesn't mean Zhao Lintian doesn't understand.
On the contrary, for Zhao Lintian, even if the Rong Family, a giant in Northern Province, comes to trade for the Thorn Wolf breeding method, he might consider it, but when faced with Su Ping, he almost has no hesitation.
A breeder who won the breeding tournament, and moreover, bred the super-rank skill 'Sun's Heart'.
What does this represent? It represents a future breeding master under normal circumstances! It represents standing at the pinnacle of Dragon Nation's breeders!
At the same time, it also represents countless gazes and recognition, unimaginable connections, and social status.
This is evident from the fact that the president of the Northern Province Breeders Association personally called him and, during the call, openly revealed that a breeding master personally inquired on Su Ping's behalf.
If Zhao Lintian has no ambitions for future development, then it doesn't matter how Su Ping is.
In this small area of Anling City, he and his Pine Ridge Cabin can live very comfortably.
But who doesn't want to take a step further? Is the family's breeding method for an Overlord-rank evolutionary form important? Very important! But, if he can use this Overlord-rank evolutionary form breeding method to befriend this suddenly emerging genius breeder, or even establish some connections, Zhao Lintian quickly got an affirmative answer after just half a minute of contemplation:
It's worth it!
It's damn worth it!
Most importantly, how to maintain this relationship.
So, as Su Ping looked at Zhao Lintian in surprise, he hurriedly asked what resources or pet evolution forms the other party wanted in exchange. But Zhao Lintian fell into deep thought.
"This, let me think, Su breeder. How about this? I'll have someone take you around our Pine Ridge Cabin and give some guiding advice along the way! See if there are any areas that can be improved! Do you have time?"
Zhao Lintian asked.
Su Ping shook his head with a smile, as everything had gone smoother than he imagined. As for Zhao Lintian's conditions, bargaining later wouldn't be a problem.
"Alright, I have plenty of time, Zhao breeder can take his time. I also want to see the Pine Ridge Cabin and learn from the experience!"
"Sure, Xiao Liu, please show Su breeder around our base. Treat him as our base's most honored guest, with the highest standards of hospitality!"
Zhao Lintian said exaggeratedly.
Su Ping didn't refuse.
Because, to be honest, this was Su Ping's first time visiting a breeding base other than his own Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
This experience might be of some help for Su Ping's future expansion of the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
Su Ping wanted to see what other breeding bases were like, aside from the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
And indeed, this visit was quite impressive.
The Pine Ridge Cabin was built near Anling Snow Mountain.
The main resources were the snow mountain and forest resources.
Anling Snow Mountain had a significant number of ice-type pets, almost all year round. Some pets with special requirements for ice and snow terrain, beastmasters, and activities on ice and snow would also come.
At the same time, some pets would also come to adapt to ice and snow-specific training.
The intention was to improve the adaptability of pets when facing pets with specific attributes in the future.
At the same time, there were also many pets in the Pine Ridge Cabin.
Just the ones Su Ping saw included three he was very familiar with.
The first was the Forest Wolf, and the second was also a wolf species, but in fact, the Snow Wolf was even more suited to survive in the Anling Snow Mountains compared to the Forest Wolf.
Su Ping himself didn't have much understanding or knowledge about the Snow Wolf, nor had he ever personally bred one.
However, Su Ping knew quite a few experts in this field, and the most outstanding among them was undoubtedly Old Liu Liu Fuhai's specialized breeding of Snow Wolves.
That Ice Fang Snow Wolf, Su Ping had seen before, was extremely beautiful and noble, and its combat power was also very strong.
If it weren't for the Heart of the Sun, even the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf might not be able to compare to this Ice Fang Snow Wolf.
In addition, there was also the evolution of the Snow Wolf, the Frost Wolf, that Rong Qiu had taught him.
This rare Toxic-Type and Ice-Type pet beast was extremely powerful in combat, as could be seen from the provincial legion battle in Jianghai Province.
However, in the Anling Cabin, there was only one Frost Wolf as the evolution of the Snow Wolf.
It was just an Overlord Rank evolution, and in the Beast Tamer Association's backend, it could be exchanged for points.
Obviously, in this aspect, the Anling Cabin was relatively lacking.
If possible, it might be worth trying to exchange the Thorn Wolf for the Snow Wolf's evolution.
Su Ping himself didn't have one, but Rong Qiu did. Previously, his aunt had also mentioned that she would entrust him with the breeding of the evolution.
Apart from these two familiar wolf pets, the Anling Cabin's main pet was another one that Su Ping was familiar with.
It was the 'Cloud Pattern Tree Python'!
However, compared to the Snow Wolf and Forest Wolf, it was slightly inferior.
After all, the Cloud Pattern Tree Python itself was already a high-level pet beast of the Overlord Rank, and those who owned and brought it to the breeding base were indeed a minority.
As for its evolution, there was none.
In the Beast Tamer Association's backend, the evolution of the Cloud Pattern Tree Python could also be exchanged, but it was difficult for ordinary breeders to gather enough evolution points for the exchange.
At this thought, Su Ping recalled the breeding insights he had obtained from the Blackwater Mystical Snake's secret realm.
Both the Blackwater Mystical Snake and the Cloud Pattern Tree Python were included.
The evolution of the Cloud Pattern Tree Python was the Cloud-Winged Wood Dragon, which had reached the Emperor Rank.
Its value was so high that it was almost unbelievable.
However, Su Ping knew that Zhao Lintian would hardly agree to exchange it, for the materials required to breed a pet beast of the Emperor Rank were obviously of a high level and value.
Such value was indeed a challenge for the Anling Cabin to bear.
Thinking of this, Su Ping didn't bother to think further.
It had to be said that compared to the Heart of All Spirits, Su Ping was quite satisfied with himself after seeing the situation at the Anling Cabin.
Apart from pet breeding, the Heart of All Spirits also had many other attractive projects.
The Water's Heart, the Forest's Heart, and now the Phoenix's Heart were all key attractions.
On the other hand, the Anling Cabin mainly focused on pet breeding.
However, Su Ping also found an interesting project there.
It was Wilderness Survival!
Indeed, the Anling Cabin had such a project.
Of course, while it was called Wilderness Survival, it was actually a simulated wild jungle environment, with many base pets released to interact and simulate wild confrontations, ensuring safety while providing a realistic outdoor adventure experience for beastmasters.
It was similar to the Heavenly Mountain, but smaller in scale.
Even so, this project was made possible by the Anling Snow Mountain's environment, without which it wouldn't have been feasible.
What if he brought it home?
Su Ping and Zhao Qingqing tried it out and emerged satisfied.
It was quite good.
Indeed, Zhao Lintian's breeding abilities were impressive.
Even those pets that succeeded in launching a stealth attack in the dark wouldn't cause any real harm to the visitors.
As long as they completed the stealth attack, they wouldn't harm the visitors and could receive feeding from the feeders, while the pets' wisdom was indeed higher.
A full and satisfying meal was clear to all.
The pets on the ground and in the snowy forest also understood this.
Only the white-eyed fish remained clueless.
Su Ping nodded; this project had replication potential.
He'd see if he could replicate one after completing the 'Earth's Heart', but this was a bit challenging.
The Earth's Heart was already quite large in terms of its area.
However, compared to the Anling Tree House, which was backed by the Anling Snow Mountain, it was still significantly smaller.
Later, he would see how much space the Heart of All Spirits could expand into.
For no apparent reason, Su Ping thought back to the time when he ventured out to the East Sea and reached the border of West Lake Hong.
That lake was truly enormous!
It was almost as vast as a small coastal area.
Unfortunately...
Su Ping shook his head, no longer indulging in such hindrances and the many troublesome delusions.
After wandering around, he finally returned to the front of the Anling Tree House in the late afternoon, having circled a large area within its premises.
The Anling Tree House's breeder, Zhao Lintian, was already there:
"Breeder Su, how do you like this tree house?"
"It's great! I'm even a bit envious of this place, backed by the Anling Snow Mountain. It's far better than my previous location, which was nowhere near a village or a store!"
Su Ping smiled politely and replied, "No problem. Compared to your previous location, this place is far superior!"
As Su Ping's gaze focused, the 'tree branch' lifted its head and glanced at Su Ping.
This thing was not ordinary; it was actually a Cloud Pattern Tree Python.
However, it was quite evident that it was still in its juvenile form.
"Hehe, this is my daughter, Zhao Qingqing. Qingqing heard that you, Breeder Su, were coming, so she wanted to meet you."
"It's fine."
Su Ping shook his head, indicating that he understood. He then continued, "Breeder Zhao, have you decided? What are your thoughts on the breeding conditions for the Thorn Wolf?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lintian narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Dinner is ready; let's discuss it while we eat."
"Sure."
After wandering for a while, it was impossible not to feel hungry.
Xing Chen and his older cousin, who never left his side, entered the private room. Once the wine and dishes were prepared, Zhao Lintian wasted no more time and spoke directly:
"Breeder Su, regarding the breeding of the Sun's Heart, I wonder if you could..."
"Hmm?"
Not only Su Ping but also Xing Chen and Rong Mang beside him frowned.
This was indeed a rather audacious request.
The breeding of evolutionary forms is indeed valuable, but compared to the breeding of a super-rank skill, it's nothing.
Many beast tamers choose specific evolutionary forms because they have the potential to breed super-rank skills. How could the breeding of the Thorn Wolf compare to that of the Sun's Heart? However, it was clear from the slight pause that Zhao Lintian took after this statement made it evident that he wasn't foolish. He then cleverly said:
"Regarding the breeding of the Sun's Heart, I wonder if you could breed it on Qingqing's Forest Wolf?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping finally understood Zhao Lintian's intention in bringing his daughter along.
The effectiveness of the Sun's Heart was undeniable.
However, since the New Year, many people had wanted to breed the super-rank skill, the Sun's Heart, through Su Ping.
But, without a doubt, Su Ping had ignored all such requests.
At this moment, Zhao Lintian had come up with this condition for the sake of his daughter's pet beast.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "That's possible, but it will take a very long time, and I'm afraid..."
"That's not a problem. I'll send Qingqing to you! Don't worry about the expenses; we will cover all the costs. Additionally, Qingqing is already a junior breeder, and it won't be long before she becomes a mid-level breeder. If you ever need help with something, you can always rely on her."
Zhao Lintian quickly assured him.
Su Ping glanced at Zhao Qingqing, who was standing there with her head lowered, feeling embarrassed. He had good reason to suspect that this might be Zhao Lintian's real motive.
However, as Master Zhu Hong had previously mentioned, Su Ping didn't mind this small calculation of Zhao Lintian's. If Zhao Qingqing indeed proved to be capable, it wouldn't be a problem for her to stay at the Heart of All Spirits.
Even without exchanging breeding methods, if she could breed a Ten Thousand Wood Wolf and the Sun's Heart, it would be an unexpected gain for Su Ping to obtain the breeding secret of the Thorn Wolf.
