Chapter 49: Plum Grove Pine Catalog Illuminated! New Talent! (Part Four)
Chapter 49: Plum Grove Pine Catalog Illuminated! New Talent! (Part Four)
As expected!
As Su Ping focused his attention on the Divine Beast Catalog in his mind, he focused on a particular section.
The unfamiliar catalog was no longer the familiar Forest Wolf that Su Ping was most familiar with, but a tall pine tree.
On the pine tree, there were numerous pine nuts, but they were all bright red, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
Although it was undoubtedly a wood-type companion beast, the Plum Grove Pine primarily relied on its large-scale offensive capabilities. The power of an adult Plum Grove Pine could be seen from this catalog.
And almost in the next moment, the originally dark gray catalog gradually transformed, starting from the top and spreading like water droplets, revealing a faint glow.
Just like when Xiao Qing completed the contract, the illuminated Forest Wolf catalog.
Although it was only a simple first level, as long as it could be illuminated, Su Ping would receive the original reward from the Divine Beast Catalog.
Indeed, that was the case.
【Catalog 'Plum Grove Pine' Illuminated, Current Catalog Level: 1, Obtain Original Reward: Mind Link】
【Mind Link (Beastmaster Ability): Focus your psychic energy to understand the meaning of your companion beast's words through telepathy and communicate with them.】
As expected!
Su Ping's eyes lit up, and the reward for illuminating the catalog was indeed powerful.
Although it was a common talent skill like True Eye, countless beastmasters had this talent ability when their talents awakened.
However, it was undeniable that although this talent skill seemed mediocre, it was genuinely useful!
The effects of True Eye need no further explanation, and with Mind Link, Su Ping could communicate more directly and intuitively with his companion beasts.
Unlike before, when he could only guess the meaning of their words based on his understanding of the beasts.
This effect was incredibly convenient for the task of breeding.
Previously, Jin Sheng had also mentioned that for ordinary breeders, the most suitable talent was not some complicated ability, but this simple Mind Link.
Communication is the bridge.
And communication is also the first step in breeding companion beasts.
doubt, having this talent would provide Su Ping with unimaginable assistance.
Without wasting any time, Su Ping immersed his consciousness into the Divine Beast Catalog, and the newly illuminated Plum Grove Pine catalog appeared before him.
【Catalog: Plum Grove Pine】
【A wood-attributed plant-type companion beast, immobile but possessing rare long-range, large-scale killing capabilities for its rank. Racial Skills: Photosynthesis, Pine Nut Cannon, Pine Needle Defense.】
【Current Catalog Level: 1 (5/500)】
Known Evolution Chart, Special Cultivation:
【None Discovered Yet】
Preferences and Habits:
【Extremely adaptable to various environments, not requiring high sunlight or water sources. However, the natural growth rate is relatively slow. High-quality Air Spring can accelerate its growth to a certain extent.】
Record Log:
【Discovered and interacted with an ordinary Plum Grove Pine, meeting the required affinity. Catalog experience increased by 5!】
【For each additional day spent with the beast, catalog experience increases by 0.5!】
【Daily catalog experience is gained based on the time spent with the beast, the beast's rank, and the enhancement of affinity with qualified beasts, which also helps to improve the catalog and increase its level.】
The distribution of the Forest Wolf catalog was similar.
However, the content in the record log was much shorter, and the experience gained was pitifully low, but it was still sufficient.
At this point, Su Ping had no intention of cultivating Plum Grove Pine. He merely wanted to unlock its potential and obtain the foundational rewards from the Divine Beast Codex. That was more than enough.
As he thought about this, Su Ping opened his eyes with satisfaction.
He turned to look at Plum Grove Pine, who was even more excited.
Plum Grove Pine's body swayed continuously:
"Shua Shua (New... Skill... Cannonball... Excited...)"
This time, as Plum Grove Pine swayed and made the swinging sounds of "shua shua," Su Ping seemed to understand the meaning behind its words.
However, this sense of connection was still very weak. It was unclear if it was because he had just acquired the True Eye talent or if the pine seed was simply too young, making it difficult to capture the mental waves conveying its meaning.
Su Ping felt like a child who had received a new toy, and his excitement grew.
Without stopping, he went to the training area for Forest Wolves to continue his experiments.
Su Ping had a great time, and through mind link, he gained a deeper understanding of the Forest Wolves.

At this moment, Li Shu, standing next to the alchemy furnace, was on the verge of a breakdown.
He had learned the functions of the alchemy furnace from Su Ping, as well as what he was about to do next. Li Shu was excited.
Because before going to bed that night, during his routine video call with his father, he could proudly say that he finally stopped being a customer service representative, cleaning up after animals, and mowing the lawn.
Like a true breeder, he was going to try making medicine, food, or something else for his beast companion.
In short, this was a small step in a breeder's journey, but a significant step in Li Shu's life!
As he began to control the temperature with the mortar and pestle,
After five minutes of pounding, Li Shu felt something was slightly off, but overall, it was still manageable.
Thirty minutes later, he continued to pound, and aside from a slightly sore neck and arms, it was still bearable.
An hour later, with his arms trembling from controlling the temperature and holding the mortar and pestle, Li Shu had lost all enthusiasm and even secretly hoped for it to end soon.
Two and a half hours later.
His arms and shoulders were swollen, and his entire body was drenched in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water. The terrifying smell of the crushed Wolf Tobacco, stirred at high temperatures, was so strong that even the anti-toxic mask couldn't completely block it.
The physical and mental torture finally overwhelmed Li Shu.
He fell into a state of questioning his life choices.
If this was what breeders had to go through, Li Shu began to consider giving up.
Is this something humans can do?
Li Shu doubted if this was the kind of work done by beasts like Mountain-Bearing Donkey, which required physical strength.
If this task were so easy, Su Ping wouldn't have drooled over the three-billion-dollar instrument sent by Liu Deputy Chairman.
Although beastmasters' physical bodies improve as their ranks increase, the main enhancements are in their spiritual energy and their beast spaces.
There weren't many with exceptional physical strength.
And at his current ordinary second rank, Li Shu was even less capable.
However, despite his reluctance, as he looked at the foul-smelling liquid in the alchemy furnace, which had started to reduce after heating, Li Shu could only force himself to continue pounding with the mortar and pestle, enduring the final stage that was even more torturous than carrying mountains.
