Chapter 483: Forest Heart Remodeling Plan!
Chapter 483: Forest Heart Remodeling Plan!
Regarding their new home, some plants didn't seem to care, while others were quite particular.
The ones that didn't care were mostly the new plant-type Beastmasters that Su Ping had brought back. However, the ones that did care wouldn't stop complaining:
"What a dump! (You're making us live in such a simple place, human?)"
"Ugh, humans are so despicable! They're just trying to bully us!"
"Look, there's even a Powdered Smiling Fairy, and not just one! I asked our ancestor to find me a plant like that to be my concubine, but it couldn't even find one. And now, this human is making them sell their own fruits!"
"Brother Blade Pine, you're so weak, but as one of the stronger plant-type Beastmasters, why are you submitting to this human?"
"Freedom! We want freedom! That's all that matters!"
"Rise up, fellow plants! Let's rebel!"
The Eternal Heavenly Vine walked around, speaking to the plants with a look of distress.
However, aside from a few Peach Blossom Powdered Smiling Fairies and a Blade Pine tree giving him the cold shoulder, no one else paid attention to him.
Only the relatively straightforward Longevity Banyan Tree Crown responded, but not to the Eternal Heavenly Vine's words, rather to Su Ping:
"What a foolish human, where did you find this guy? He's similar to the Heaven-Reaching Vine, but not as cute."
Su Ping chuckled and didn't mind his Beastmasters rejecting the Eternal Heavenly Vine.
After all, they were now on his turf, and he wasn't worried about any potential trouble. Modern plant-type Beastmasters weren't stupid, and they knew that freedom wasn't as important as living a good life under the care of a human Beastmaster.
As expected, the Longevity Banyan Tree's words struck a chord with the Eternal Heavenly Vine:
"You despicable Longevity Banyan Tree! How dare you mock me! If we were in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains..."
The Eternal Heavenly Vine's words were cut off by the Arrow Pine King, who spoke with disdain:
"So, what's the point of talking nonsense here? Su Ping helps us grow and live better lives. Would you rather go back to your Ten Thousand Great Mountains and suffer under your tyrannical rule?"
The plant-type Beastmasters had become quite intelligent and could respond aptly in their own language.
Su Ping ignored the Eternal Heavenly Vine and turned to the other plants:
"You can propose your needs for survival and growth, and I'll try to fulfill them. Of course, you'll need to prove your worth! If you perform well, I'll help you cultivate your skills, even super-class skills, and aid in your evolution. You'll also have the chance to access that special something that drew you to me in the first place!"
The plants' eyes lit up at Su Ping's words, and they ignored the Eternal Heavenly Vine's continued complaints.
They were all excited about the prospect of powerful cultivation, racial evolution, and that special, irresistible aura.
Although the Wild Tree Fruit, Green Moss, and lower-level, extinct plant-type Beastmasters didn't have much intelligence, they still instinctively drew closer to Su Ping.
After seeing the environment and the rare, Emperor-level Life Ancient Tree, they no longer had any doubts.
The first to speak up was the strongest plant-type Beastmaster, the Jade Branch.
As the highest-ranking and rarest plant-type existence, it spoke in an ethereal voice, stating its conditions:
"Human, I need at least three acres of jade soil as my foundation. The jade soil requires a Heaven Crystal Spirit Stone to nourish it. I'll need a new Heaven Crystal Spirit Stone every month. You can handle the rest."
Su Ping raised an eyebrow. Jade soil was a high-end, elite-level soil resource, and Heaven Crystal Spirit Stones were at the Sovereign level.
It seemed that this plant-type Beastmaster was indeed difficult to care for.
However, Su Ping could afford the resources, so he nodded in agreement.
The ethereal voice spoke once more: "However, I am not completely useless! Every month, I can provide you with a drop of Jade Dew!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hong, who was nearby, nodded in agreement.
"These are all acceptable. Additionally, I can assist you in constructing a unique small Spirit Land! Jade Soil is a special resource of Earth and Light elements. Previously, within the Cultivator's Association, Feng Lao developed a 'Jade Pond Spirit Land' based on this."
"Jade Branch Jade Tree, you'll see for yourself if it meets your expectations!"
At these words, Su Ping and Jade Branch Jade Tree both brightened with anticipation.
Su Ping had already heard about the effectiveness of this human-developed Spirit Land, but he had never experienced it himself. If it could be suitable for him, it would be perfect.
"Sure, I'll give it a try..."
"Huala! (Jade Tree! Humans' sugar-coated bullets are not good things! You need to stay alert!)"
Ignoring Eternal Heavenly Vine, Jade Branch Jade Tree quickly nodded in agreement.
Apparently, at this moment, even the Ten Thousand Mountains' young master seemed to have no one paying attention to him.
The nearby Ask Heart Bodhi also spoke up.
However, this voice came from the mental realm:
"I don't need any special Spirit Land. I'm just very interested in humans. If I can have constant contact with humans, that's all I want!"
Hmm?
Su Ping was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this seemingly taciturn Ask Heart Bodhi would have such simple conditions.
"Of course!"
Zhong Hong also nodded:
"Ask Heart Bodhi reflects the inner hearts of living beings. Now that I've met you, it's just as I thought! Unfortunately, the ancient humans were greedy and foolish, all short-sighted. They did nothing but kill the chicken to get the egg! But in the Forest Heart, you can rest assured!"
Ask Heart Bodhi did not speak further.
Aside from Jade Branch Jade Tree and Ask Heart Bodhi, there were others.
Sunflower slightly swayed: "Huff huff huff! (I just need a place with direct sunlight! But human, you promised me! That wolf pet...)"
Su Ping nodded. Sunflower wanted to occasionally communicate with Old Sand, and these two beings who controlled the power of the sun might spark something new. Old Sand also agreed.
Extreme Flame Lotus appeared extremely hot, but its temperament seemed aloof: "I require a place where flames can burn. Can you provide that?"
Extreme Flame Lotus didn't have any special abilities, and the only noteworthy aspect was its combat prowess. Its living environment was extremely harsh, and this little thing was an added bonus. Su Ping didn't mind and nodded in agreement.
When he had free time, having more pets to study and interact with was enough for Su Ping.
King Ginseng also eagerly spoke up: "I just want to follow that human... If you can get him to teach me, I'll give you ten ginseng roots! If not, that wolf pet will do. But I can only offer half a root. As for the environment, I can adapt to anything."
Su Ping also realized that these plant-type pets, having reached the Sovereign Rank, were from the Spring Realm. Quite a few of them could even speak.
That Spring Realm was indeed mysterious.
"Clang clang clang! (Opponents! Give me strong opponents! Human, I want opponents!)"
Before Su Ping could think further, the highly perceptive Sword Forest had already spoken up!
Su Ping rubbed his temples. These little ancestors were indeed difficult to manage!
However, opponents? That wasn't a problem.
Aside from the time Qian Yi spent helping the Paper Man with cultivation, he was often idle. Practicing alone wasn't very interesting.
If possible, he could send this battle-hungry Sword Forest to work at Cloud Heart.
Hmm, at that time, Su Ping might even develop a pet-working reward system.
With this in mind, Su Ping nodded and began to consider establishing some rules and regulations for the Heart of All Souls, not only for plant-type pets, and possibly all pets in the future! The cultivation requirements could be based on the contributions of these little guys. After all, he couldn't favor some and neglect others, right?
Managing a cultivation base required appropriate systems and a fair approach. The last time he cultivated the Heaven-reaching Vine, its deep roots had made some of the other small plants slightly envious. He couldn't let that imbalance continue.
As he thought, Su Ping took out paper and pen and recorded the requirements of each little guy.
And it wasn't just these thirteen!
Among the remaining twenty, there were also plant-type pets with high ranks, not just the extinct ones.
Although there were no other Emperor Rank pets.
However, there were as many as six Sovereign Rank pets! And there were others as well.
This work is organized and uploaded by 69 Books.
Some had extremely harsh requirements.
But Su Ping was happy to oblige.
Not just him; any plant-type cultivation base manager would do the same.
Plant-type pets, if properly maintained, were indeed worthwhile.
Not to mention the Powdered Smiling Fairy.
The promise of the Powdered Smiling Fairy, a drop of its value, and even if used properly, can satisfy the majority of these pets' requirements.
This is an invaluable resource for longevity!
Although it's a bit small.
But the rarer something is, the more valuable it becomes!
On one hand, Su Ping kept in mind these basic living requirements, and on the other, he started planning how to motivate these little guys! Not to mention, during this patrol of the Forest Heart, some plant-type pets were indeed a bit lazy.
Su Ping also needed to find a way to boost their enthusiasm! With this in mind, his actions were swift.
After reading through the information, Su Ping was a bit overwhelmed.
The rest were fine, those low-level pets weren't too demanding. Plants like Green Moss, Snake Root Wood, and Poison Scale Sulfur Grass, although rare, were not costly to maintain.
However, among the twenty other plant-type pets, there were a few that were more challenging to keep alive.
The conditions for keeping these difficult-to-raise pets were varied. Some required feeding with the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, while others needed a vast area to grow, like the Ten Thousand Transformation Cloud Vine.
Some required a temperature below minus ten degrees Celsius, like the Ice Snow Orchid.
And so on and so forth.
Especially that Ten Thousand Transformation Cloud Vine.
Su Ping even had to empty half of the Forest Heart to accommodate its climbing needs.
How is this even possible?
One can only say that vine-type pets are indeed challenging to manage.
But Su Ping couldn't give up on this Ten Thousand Transformation Cloud Vine.
The overall appearance was extremely beautiful, with the Ten Thousand Transformation Cloud Vine covered in clusters of white clouds. From a distance, this small hill of about two hundred meters looked like a floating paradise in the clouds.
At the same time, the clouds produced by the Ten Thousand Transformation Cloud Vine were a rare and precious resource that could benefit wind-type pets.
Among the entire pet group, there were hardly any pets more valuable than this one.
Su Ping pinched his nose, determined to find a solution.
The three individuals nearby also offered some suggestions.
However, there was no doubt that the Forest Heart needed a major overhaul! Not only that, but the current situation also demanded it. This hill, once a mere bump, now seemed insufficient.
The Forest Heart needed to be expanded again!
Of course, this expansion didn't require Su Ping to move mountains.
There was no rule stating that plant-type pets had to be placed on a mountain.
However, the surroundings of the Forest Heart, especially the area below the Phoenix Heart, where countless birds left their droppings, could be utilized! As it turned out, there was indeed a special pet suitable for that location.
Moreover, this could transform the previously unsightly area into a specially renovated treasure trove.
From a place that everyone disliked to a valuable spot that was put to good use.
However, these plans undoubtedly required money.
So, after recording these ideas, Su Ping discussed them with Master Zhong for half a day. Then, Su Ping sought out Guan Qianshan, who was now brimming with confidence.
During their conversation, Su Ping had already received news from Dong Muyun that the funds from the Golden Guild had arrived.
In addition to the previous two billion, there was also a private sponsorship of one and a half billion.
Furthermore, during these cultivations, although the earnings came from acquaintances, Sang Sheng had not withheld anything. Along with the money, various resources were also delivered.
With these resources, the previous financial deficit of the Ethereal Road was not only cleared but also left with a surplus. Guan Qianshan, who had been struggling, naturally resumed his energetic attitude.
Until now:
"What? You want to renovate the Forest Heart again? And you're starting construction on the entire fifty acres surrounding it?"
"And these resources? Just the monarch-level resources alone include eighty-one types and one hundred and forty items? Do you think you're on a journey to the West?"
"And the countless other resources, over three hundred kinds?"
Seeing Guan Qianshan almost going crazy, Su Ping took a sip of his drink and nodded, comforting him, "Actually, there are some emperor-level and even holy-level resources I need for cultivation that I didn't mention. These are the easier ones to obtain.
"I really need these urgently. It shouldn't be a problem within three days, right?"
Guan Qianshan suppressed his rising blood pressure and looked at Su Ping, who seemed to be taking advantage of him. He almost asked, "So we should thank you for this? We've barely enjoyed this wealth for ten days, and you want to start again?!"
