Chapter 6: Old Sha's Grief, Mana Potion Completed!
Chapter 6: Old Sha's Grief, Mana Potion Completed!
At the Woodheart Companion Beast Breeding Base, within the estate.
The door to the Potion Workshop was opened.
Old Sha's face was twisted in disgust as he looked at the workshop filled with thick smoke.
Old Sha had no idea what his young master was up to.
But this process, akin to boiling feces, made Old Sha question for the first time whether it was the right decision for Su An Yong to leave and entrust the breeding base to his young master.
This was the most agonizing and conflicting moment in Old Sha's wolf life.
He was afraid that his young master might suffer some harm from the fumes.
If the young master fainted or, worse, died from the stench, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Su An Yong.
However, the opened door of the Potion Workshop, with its overpowering stench, was no longer just a matter of irritating the nose.
It stung the eyes as well!
For a wolf-canine companion beast, their sense of smell was already incredibly sharp.
One can imagine the immense courage and deep loyalty that Old Sha, a Sovereign-ranked beast, displayed as he stood at the entrance of the Potion Workshop, enduring the pungent odor while watching Su Ping inside.
Su Ping stood on a scaffold, holding a half-meter-tall mortar and pestle.
The cooking pot below maintained a constant high temperature of eighty degrees.
Fully geared up with a gas mask and oxygen tank, he stared into the billowing smoke of the potion cauldron.
At this moment, Su Ping appreciated the technology of Bluestar.
If it were the ancient times, the process of brewing potions could only be done personally, and without these tools, Su Ping doubted that even with the perfect 'Wood Core' potion formula, he could produce much.
The technological advancements of the new era were truly remarkable.
Not only were there expensive mechanical companion beasts, but beastmaster breeders also had more convenient tools.
All the necessary resources and herbs had been added to the cauldron.
The Wolf Tobacco had also been placed inside.
The final stage of the process was about to begin.
The next moment, amidst the thick smoke, Su Ping adjusted the temperature of the cauldron, and instantly, the temperature soared to one hundred and twenty degrees.
The rapid stirring with the mortar and pestle made Su Ping's arms ache.
Fortunately, after officially becoming a beastmaster, his enhanced physical body could endure the strenuous task.
If it were before, Su Ping wouldn't have been able to withstand such an intense process.
The sudden increase in temperature and rapid stirring caused bubbles to form on the dark green viscous liquid at the bottom of the cauldron.
An indescribable stench rose from within.
The gas mask protected Su Ping from the odor, but the smoke slowly seeped through.
Su Ping, wearing the gas mask, exited the workshop with the sealed potion in hand.
Through the mask, he saw Old Sha's resentful gaze.
"Was it that bad?" Su Ping belatedly realized and removed his gas mask.
Instinctively, he sniffed, and in less than a tenth of a second, he quickly covered his nose with the oxygen tank.
Rubbing his nose, he patted Old Sha's head:
"Old Sha, I know it's tough, but don't worry. After you consume this tomorrow, you'll understand its benefits!"
Old Sha looked at his young master, then glanced at the small bottle of dark green 'essence' that Su Ping had been brewing for hours, like boiling feces.
Old Sha's eyes conveyed a mix of emotions. He never imagined that the young master he had watched grow up would one day try to poison him.
Su Ping swallowed his saliva, his huge wolf body emitting a crisp 'gudong' sound.
Before Su Ping could react, he darted off towards the base's forest, running so fast his shadow couldn't be seen.
Su Ping scratched his head and looked at the improved 'Wood Core' potion in his hand again. Was it really that exaggerated?
He turned back and looked at the potion workshop, which still emitted a foul odor. The smell made him shiver involuntarily.
Hmm... Wake up!
Although this thing was indeed a bit eye-watering, it still had to be consumed.
But not now.
According to the potion formula, it needed to be cooled and frozen after completion to be considered truly finished.
After a busy day, Su Ping was too lazy to do more. He placed the Wood Core potion back into the low-temperature refrigerator after it had slightly returned to room temperature. Only then did he return to his room.
Xiao Qing was still asleep in the Beast Space.
As Su Ping's contracted companion beast, his own cultivation realm could greatly benefit the beast's growth, accelerating its development.
Xiao Qing was currently in a rapid growth stage.
Opening his phone, the first thing he saw was a message from the class group:
"I heard the class president contracted a Flame Fang Tiger with Overlord potential. Impressive! I guess the class president will be protecting him from now on! @Zhou Shuchen"
The message had barely been sent when another one appeared:
"It's okay, I was just lucky. Director Zhang helped me find a way, and the down payment was two million. Sigh, I'll have to start repaying the loan now. But it was worth it. After only half a month of contracting the Flame Fang Tiger, I've already grasped the Flame Strike skill. This talent isn't something ordinary companion beasts can compare to."
Although there was a hint of self-mockery, the underlying tone was clearly one of pride.
It was none other than the class president Zhou Shuchen, who had even changed his profile picture to a crimson cub.
Obviously, even though the world had changed, the class group still maintained the same old antics.
The only difference was that the topic had shifted to contracted companion beasts.
However, you couldn't deny that a Flame Fang Tiger with Overlord potential was indeed impressive.
The two million down payment wasn't cheap.
Although Zhou Shuchen's family was just an ordinary one, even with Director Zhang's connections, it was hard to imagine how they would repay such a loan.
This guy had quite the determination.
Speaking of which, this class president's talent was said to be the relatively rare 'Fire Affinity,' which granted him a certain combat boost against fire-attributed companion beasts, making it a highly suitable talent for a combat beastmaster.
No wonder this guy had emptied his family's savings to loan him this Flame Fang Tiger as his first companion beast.
"Now in the class, is Su Ping the only one left without a contracted companion beast?" someone suddenly asked.
"Su Ping has high standards. Before, when Director Zhang kindly introduced him to a Scythe Giant Centipede with Overlord potential, he even refused it."
Zhou Shuchen's Flame Fang Tiger profile picture flashed again.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. During school, this good class president had been polite to him, not overly close but not offensive either.
After all, although Su Ping's family wasn't a Beastmaster Second Generation, they were still somewhat well-off.
This class president was the type who knew how to get things done. Now that they had graduated, he was acting so strangely in the class group. Was his true nature being exposed?
