Chapter 45: Woodhead's Breakthrough! The Bet is Complete! (Fourth Update)
Chapter 45: Woodhead's Breakthrough! The Bet is Complete! (Fourth Update)
Before Su Ping, there were over a dozen containers, each filled with dark green substances.
Even Su Ping couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at these ten bottles of Heartwood Elixir, each worth several million in production costs.
If calculated based on profit, the total value would be tens of millions.
Such a massive sum was something Su Ping had never encountered in his past life or this one.
And now, it was all laid out before him.
However, Su Ping wasn't in a rush to feed it to his Linlang pack.
He wanted to improve his understanding of breeding knowledge.
The Divine Beast Codex, in essence, provided him with the answers directly but didn't explain the problem-solving process or reasoning.
Now, Su Ping intended to use these answers to reverse-engineer the process and reasoning.
These elixirs could provide him with some assistance.
Su Ping placed a few bottles in the freezer for preservation, serving as a foundation and startup capital for breeding other beasts.
He left behind over ten bottles.
At the same time, Su Ping opened two bottles.
These two bottles would be used for subsequent experiments.
The cost of these experiments was already quite significant.
Su Ping brought a spoon and carefully took out one-tenth of the elixir from one bottle.
As for the other bottle, he poured out half of its contents.
Being a first-time beast breeder, Su Ping lacked experience.
However, after becoming an Intermediate Breeder and gaining some understanding of various breeding bases, he realized that beasts couldn't be bred just like that.
It was fine with Woodhead and Qin Xiaoxue, but what if they encountered someone with ulterior motives? What if they brought beasts to communicate with Su Ping's beasts, trying to steal his breeding methods and techniques? This wasn't a baseless assumption but a very real possibility.
Therefore, even with an elixir like the Heartwood Elixir, it was best not to feed it all at once, allowing the beasts to instantly grasp the understanding.
Instead, as he was doing now, feeding it in batches and pairing it with strange training not only prolonged the breeding process, making it more reasonable, but also made it less likely for the breeding methods to be easily leaked.
However, Su Ping wanted to test if feeding it in batches would affect its effectiveness.
He called two Linlang, and the one-tenth portion of the elixir was directly fed to one of them without any noticeable effects.
Su Ping then brought another Linlang and fed it the remaining half of the Heartwood Elixir.
This time, there was a difference; the Linlang's body shimmered with tiny specks, but they eventually disappeared, indicating that it hadn't fully grasped the understanding.
Su Ping wasn't discouraged; the results were promising so far.
Over the next few days, he could slowly conduct experiments.
With this thought, Su Ping took out paper and pen to quickly record the changes in the Linlang before him.
Li Shu, who was tending to Plum Grove Pine on the side, finally couldn't hold back and asked:
"Brother Ping, what's this...?"
Su Ping glanced at him; during the elixir-making process, this guy had been trying to interact with the Linlang, a necessary step for Junior Breeders.
If possible, helping his only friend during this process wouldn't be a bad thing.
However, the Heartwood Elixir represented not only the Su family's decades of inherited knowledge but also unimaginable wealth and temptation.
Su Ping didn't want to use such a thing to test people's hearts, as it held no meaning.
He wasn't the type to test others, so he vaguely replied, "Special food for Forest Wolves, which can accelerate their growth."
Technically, he wasn't lying.
Li Shu nodded, not asking further, and even agreed, "So that's it! I knew it, only Forest Wolves would eat this kind of food!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping was momentarily stunned, and a mysterious light flashed through his mind, along with a strange realization.
Su Ping blinked, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something that wasn't too profound.
Why did the addition of Wolf Tobacco to their Heartwood Elixir cause such a qualitative change?
While the Divine Beast Codex provided an improved recipe, the fact that adding just one ingredient could have such an effect meant that Wolf Tobacco's impact was extraordinary.

So, did Wolf Tobacco actually have some effect on Forest Wolves?
Su Ping's spirits lifted. The joy of beast companion cultivation lay in discovering possibilities and experimenting, refining and perfecting.
This was the normal development of a beast companion breeder.
Although trying this possibility on his own little guys might be a bit inhumane, Su Ping believed that for their master to become a truly great breeder, they would be willing to make a small sacrifice!
At that moment, Su Ping looked at the eager Forest Wolves, his eyes gleaming with a greenish light.
In that instant, Su Ping seemed even more like a wolf than the wolf pack.
Even Old Sha and the rest of the wolves instinctively tucked their tails and avoided their master's gaze.
But just then, a crisp whimper sounded.
This whimper didn't come from Su Ping's Forest Wolves but from the most unique one in the entire pack.
Woodhead!
Miss Qin's precious baby, now fully integrated into Su Ping's wolf pack as a top-tier Forest Wolf.
At this moment, Miss Qin's beloved pet was trembling, enveloped in a soft white halo.
Woodhead had some injuries, and his bluish fur was in disarray, with some scratches below, making it seem like Su Ping was mistreating him. However, compared to the other sixteen Forest Wolves, Woodhead's injuries were actually the lightest.
Especially under the soft white halo, the scabs that had formed were visibly healing at an astonishing rate, comparable to an elite-level professional healing beast companion.
Clearly, Woodhead's appearance wasn't due to his injuries.
Having a deep understanding of Forest Wolves, Su Ping immediately understood what was happening.
As expected, as the gentle light faded, Woodhead's injuries directly healed by about seventy to eighty percent.
This self-healing ability and effect were definitely beyond what an entry-level self-healing skill could achieve, even for an elite-level Forest Wolf!
There was only one possibility!
As expected, under the observation of the True Eye, Woodhead's skill column showed that the 'Self-Healing' skill, which had been at the 'Entry' level, had now advanced to the 'Proficient' level!
His gamble had paid off!
