Chapter 46: Research and Discovery of Wolf Tobacco (Part 1)
Chapter 46: Research and Discovery of Wolf Tobacco (Part 1)
Woodhead's growth was complete, but Su Ping wasn't in a hurry to find Qin Xiaoxue and ask her to bring Sun Chaoru and Liu Deputy Chairman to fulfill the bet.
There was still over half of the fifteen-day period left, so there was no need to rush.
Although he was eager to obtain the Rapid Growth skill and the evolution method of the Thousand Wood Wolf, he knew he had to take things one step at a time.
Moreover, even if he had obtained these things, with the current experience of the Divine Beast Codex, it wouldn't be enough to complete the information.
Su Ping's schedule for the coming days was indeed quite packed.
He had planned it all himself, and these days would be extremely fulfilling.
In the morning, he took Li Shu to feed the Forest Wolves, clean their enclosure, and began planning the day's training for the wolves.
Among the training sessions, the most outstanding one would be rewarded with a portion of the Heartwood Elixir.
That's right, it was a portion. Previously, two Forest Wolves had consumed one-tenth of the elixir with no noticeable changes, while another had consumed half and, on the following day, Su Ping gave it the remaining half, which led to its breakthrough.
Seeing that half was effective, Su Ping later tried a quarter of the elixir, which also worked.
Directly consuming the Heartwood Elixir would be too conspicuous, so feeding it in batches had a better effect.
During the day, with ample sunlight, the Forest Wolves absorbed the sun's energy, and their stamina and other attributes recovered remarkably well.
As a result, the training was even more effective.
In just a few days, aside from not achieving an unexpected skill level breakthrough, several Forest Wolves had also significantly advanced in their cultivation realms.
One of them, a Forest Wolf that had previously been stuck at the Ordinary Tenth Rank, even managed to advance to the Adult Elite Rank.
Cultivating beasts is not just about their racial potential! Although the Forest Wolf's racial potential is at the Elite Tenth Rank, this is the upper limit for the species, not all Forest Wolves can reach this level!
Some lazy Forest Wolves, without engaging in battles to improve themselves, could already break through to the Elite Rank, which is quite impressive.
In the afternoon, Su Ping conducted an experiment based on something Li Shu had mentioned a few days ago.
He also cultivated new Forest Wolves.
That's right, after the Breeder Association's advertisement and the subsequent registration, the demand for the Heartwood Elixir skyrocketed. Even though Su Ping increased the price and only cultivated once a week, there was still a queue.
It was just one Forest Wolf, and it didn't require any special cultivation. If anything, it might be a slight waste of time for Su Ping to build a bond with the wolf during the process.
Aside from being able to improve the Forest Wolf's entry in the Divine Beast Codex, there might even be repeat customers.
Additionally, he could earn money, so why not?
These things aside, the most noteworthy was Su Ping's experiment.
It was an experiment that lacked any sense of humanity.
The subjects were two of Su Ping's own Forest Wolves.
Both were Ordinary Rank Forest Wolves.
These two were also special within the wolf pack because they were the only ones that had consumed one-tenth of the Heartwood Elixir.
Su Ping had never paid much attention to Wolf Tobacco before, but its addition had significantly enhanced the effects of the Heartwood Elixir.
This indicated that this highly fertile yet pungent plant might have unknown uses that Su Ping was unaware of.
As these two little guys became Su Ping's test subjects, they spent their days under the watchful eye of Old Sha, who looked on with a pitiful gaze as they followed Su Ping's orders.
And what were they doing here by the Spirit Stream River?
It was simple!
One was grazing, while the other basked in the sun.
Every morning, Su Ping would take out a portion of the Heartwood Elixir and give each of them a tenth of it.
This ensured that any changes they experienced were not influenced by external factors.
However, after several days, Su Ping hadn't noticed any changes.
He looked at his diary.
On it was a simple line:
"Read the flawless version on 69shu!"
【This chapter explores the effects of Wolf Tobacco on Linwolves after consuming the Heartwood Elixir, providing insights into the unknown properties of Wolf Tobacco.】
This was the sixth day of the experiment.
For the past six days, Su Ping had followed this routine.
He observed a Linwolf lazily basking in the sun, while the other struggled to chew on the abundant Wolf Tobacco covering the ground.
It was clear from the resentful gaze of the little wolf that it was frustrated, wondering why these damn Wolf Tobacco plants never seemed to run out.
Su Ping paid no heed to the wolf's resentment and glanced at his notebook, catching a glimpse of Old Sha, who was extremely vigilant nearby. Su Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although the Heartwood Base is located in the outskirts of Linzhou City, the Beastmaster Association and the Military Beastmaster Corps regularly patrol the city's outskirts to drive away wild beasts, so there's no danger."
It was strange that in the past few days, whenever Su Ping brought the two little guys here, Old Sha would follow, even though Su Ping had told him to focus on training the Linwolves.
From Old Sha's stubborn actions and gestures, Su Ping understood that he was concerned about his safety, fearing the presence of enemies.
Of course, this was Su Ping's interpretation. Although he had a thorough understanding of Linwolves, without the innate talent of Mind Link, he couldn't fully comprehend the beasts' intentions, especially with wild beasts that hadn't undergone a Soul Contract.
However, Su Ping didn't mind. Old Sha was family, and what could he do even if he wanted to force the issue? Besides, Old Sha's concern was well-intentioned, and the training Linwolves were diligent, so there wasn't much to worry about even without Old Sha's supervision.
Yet, as Su Ping observed Old Sha at that moment, a hint of anxiety crept into his heart.
Old Sha had already lived for over forty years, and he was truly getting old.
As Su Ping's thoughts grew somber, his gaze suddenly shifted.
It wasn't because an enemy had appeared, but because one of the Linwolves was undergoing a transformation! A halo of light enveloped it, with tiny specks of light adhering to its body.
The next moment, a piercing wolf howl echoed, and although it was still a bit immature, it carried an unmistakable hint of joy! Su Ping immediately stood up, taking two steps in one stride to reach the wolf's side, and stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
The other Linwolf, which had been lazily basking in the sun, pricked up its ears and blinked, its tiny eyes filled with bewilderment as it looked at its suddenly changed companion.
On the sixth day! Su Ping clenched his fist tightly, the sixth day!
In other words, this young Linwolf had only consumed six-tenths of the elixir, slightly more than half.
And yet, even with such a small amount, the young Linwolf had managed to comprehend so much earlier than expected. Could it be that Wolf Tobacco had effects that Su Ping was unaware of?
Just then, Su Ping's mind suddenly flashed to the Divine Beast Codex, and the section on Linwolves slowly opened once more.
