Chapter 73: The First Stage, Dong Mu Yun's Arrival!
Chapter 73: The First Stage, Dong Mu Yun's Arrival!
Old Sha gazed resentfully at the meticulous Su Ping.
Although he was confident in Su Ping's abilities, he couldn't help but feel extremely uncomfortable with this evolutionary cultivation method.
The taste in his mouth was like chewing wax...
No, it was even worse than chewing wax, making Old Sha wish he could spit it out and give up on evolution, spending his last days as a wolf, boasting about devouring meat and fruits.
However, under Su Ping's cold and stern gaze, Old Sha had no choice but to continue 'tasting'.
The bark, trunk, branches, and earthy smell of the roots made him feel miserable.
But he had to follow Su Ping's instructions, carefully savoring the flavors and feeling the textures and fibers of these trees.
At the same time, he buried his legs in the soil, absorbing sunlight while listlessly munching on the seemingly endless and unsatisfying branches, trunk, and bark.
Su Ping observed Old Sha's actions while quickly jotting down notes on paper.
He was recording the changes in Old Sha and some conditions that occurred during the first day of evolution cultivation.
Additionally, he noticed some differences during the evolution cultivation process.
The most obvious was that Old Sha, who possessed the skill 'Heart of Wood', was experiencing this at that moment.
The Heart of Wood skill allows the Forest Wolf to rapidly absorb the power of trees and plants to replenish itself.
This was the first thing Su Ping needed to observe.
He found that when Old Sha consumed these trees, unlike Sun Chaoru's records, there was no vomiting after consuming too much tree bark and trunk, which meant this first stage would take longer.
Moreover, not all Forest Wolves could successfully comprehend 'Photosynthesis' during this stage.
Su Ping was now genuinely concerned that the Heart of Wood might cause some fluctuations and changes in the evolution process.
However, since there was no such warning in the Divine Beast Codex, he took a slight breath of relief, and a glimmer of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
As mentioned in the Divine Beast Codex, the higher the level of Sunlight Absorption and Photosynthesis during the evolution of the Thousand Trees Wolf, the greater its potential after evolution.
Old Sha, due to his early experiences and adventures, had achieved a Perfect level of Sunlight Absorption.
For the Thousand Trees Wolf, a Perfect level of Sunlight Absorption is equivalent to a Perfect level of Photosynthesis.
As for beyond Perfect, the so-called Supreme Mastery level?
Su Ping didn't dwell on it. This level wasn't something a companion beast could achieve through training, and even with talent and aptitude, reaching Perfect was already a difficult level to attain through training.
Supreme Mastery is the highest point of this skill, a moment of divine inspiration, a unique understanding and empowerment beyond the skill itself.
It was something only a few could achieve.
If one sought the Supreme Mastery level of Sunlight Absorption, Su Ping would say that all Forest Wolves could give up.
So, Perfect was already the highest evolutionary limit.
Then, what is the racial limit of a Perfect Thousand Trees Wolf after evolution?
Overlord Peak? Monarch Peak? Or even Imperial Rank?
Su Ping shook his head. Monarch Rank was possible, but aiming for Imperial Rank was a bit too ambitious.
Each rank above Monarch, including Monarch itself, presented a significant hurdle.
Before Qin Xiaoxue's Crowned Wolf Emperor, Su Ping had never heard of a Forest Wolf evolutionary body reaching the Monarch Rank.
The Thousand Trees Wolf, as described in the Divine Beast Codex, is indeed an extraordinary and top-tier evolutionary form of the Forest Wolf. However, its potential has a limit.
Unless there is an even more advanced evolutionary form to explore and develop beyond the Thousand Trees Wolf?!
But Su Ping quickly shook his head, realizing that it was too ambitious to think of running before learning to walk.
As he was about to continue giving instructions to Lao Sha, the doorbell rang.
Su Ping frowned but felt helpless.
The Heartwood Cultivation Base still needed to be managed.
Even though he had shortened the time for receiving guests to the morning, there were still visitors almost every day.
Ultimately, it was because Su Ping had never hired any staff.
However, this situation was becoming too disruptive for him, and it seemed that he needed to recruit some help, if only to handle the tedious task of reception.)
Rubbing his forehead, he put down his things and, after saying a word to Lao Sha, went to the front door.
However, when he opened the door, the two people who appeared before him surprised him.
The correct version is available on 69shu! 6=9+shu_ba.
He instinctively felt that these two people were not customers coming to breed companion beasts; they didn't look like it.
One was a plain yet elegant woman with an air of superiority, and the other was clearly a lackey.
Most importantly, he felt he had seen this woman before.
It was as if he had met her somewhere before.
In fact, it was indeed the case.
As soon as the door opened, the thirty-year-old man spoke arrogantly:
"You must be Su Ping? I'm the new manager of Cloudsky Resort, and this is our chairman. We want to discuss purchasing this land with you."
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed subconsciously.
But he finally realized who had arrived—it was the chairman of Tianyun Group, Dong Muchun, whom he had already prepared for.
"Please come in."
In the reception room, the new manager quickly walked over and wiped the sofa with his handkerchief repeatedly before speaking to Dong Muchun with a fawning tone:
"Chairman, please take a seat."
Su Ping's frown deepened, and his gaze towards this man became unfriendly.
It was hard to imagine that Guan Shu, who had worked at Cloudsky Resort for many years, had been replaced by such a person?
For the first time, Su Ping looked at Dong Muchun with suspicion. Was this legendary Queen Dong not as clever as rumored?
After sitting down, Su Ping directly asked a question that he was genuinely concerned about:
"Is this the new manager of Cloudsky Resort? Then I'd like to ask, where did the previous manager, Guan, go?"
Dong Muchun remained silent, and it was the new manager who spoke:
"Oh, you're talking about Old Guan. Due to his incompetence and superficial execution of the chairman's orders, he was reassigned to work as a supervisor on Crescent Island, not far from Linzhou, at the end of the Spirit Stream River."
He spoke with a smug and self-satisfied tone.
Su Ping's frown deepened further, and his eyes showed no attempt to hide his disgust.
