Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 5 - 5: Making Magic Potion, Yun Tian Pet Beast Resort

Old Sha did not stop Su Ping from entering the Magic Potion Workshop.

When Su Anyong left, he had told him that from now on, this Heart of Woods Pet Beast Breeding Base would be under the command of this little master.

Old Sha, having watched Su Ping grow up, was the elder who doted on him the most.

The Magic Potion Workshop could be said to be the cleanest place in the entire estate, with spotless white walls, floors, and ceilings.

However, the smell of disinfectant in the air made him frown. Xiao Qing, perched on his shoulder and clinging to his collar, also sneezed several times due to the irritating smell.

After gently rubbing the somewhat uncomfortable Xiao Qing, Su Ping finally placed Xiao Qing into his own Beast Taming Space.

Inside the Beast Taming Space, a Beast Tamerʼs spiritual power provided comfort. This allowed a Pet Beast to remain in a comfortable state at all times and also accelerated its energy and injury recovery.

After all, Xiao Qing was still rather young.

Handling some equipment he had seen and learned about at school but never actually operated, Su Ping expertly opened the cold storage room.

As expected, given that these were ingredients for the Heart of Woods Magic Potion, even though his father was unreliable, he had definitely tried making it many times over the years. Consequently, there were still some ingredients left in the cold storage room, which made things much easier.

Su Pingʼs eyes lit up. Then, under Old Shaʼs astonished gaze, he quickly ran out of the Magic Potion Workshop and patted Old Sha, saying, ”Old Sha, is there Wolf Tobacco growing near the Lingxi River behind our base?”

Old Sha nodded. Then, he watched as his young master sprinted towards the Lingxi River area behind the base.

Old Sha didnʼt dare to overthink it and quickly chased after him.

This little rascal had just returned; how could he already be such a handful?

Wolf Tobacco? Wasnʼt that stuff even smellier than the dung produced by those little creatures in the forest?

Old Shaʼs speed was much faster than Su Pingʼs.

While Su Ping was studying in Linzhou City—perhaps because he was a person with memories of two lives—he had been an undeniable top student in the meditation course among his peers.

After awakening his Beast Taming Space and Talent, he had now reached the Ordinary Fourth Stage Beast Tamer. However, his speed was still far behind Old Sha, who had reached the Commanding Rank.

Seeing Old Sha catch up, Su Ping deftly grabbed Old Shaʼs mane and flipped onto his back.

Their breeding base wasnʼt small, and it was still some distance to the banks of the Lingxi River across the entire grounds.

”AWOO...”

Ridden by the young master he had watched grow up, Old Sha felt a surge of excitement and let out a resounding howl.

In the suburbs, the sudden wolf howl was indeed extremely loud and piercing.

It seemed the Wolf Kingʼs howl had been sensed.

Instantly, from the vast woodlands of the base, a chorus of howls rose in response.

Obviously, even though it was on the outskirts of the city, the ʼHeart of Woods Pet Beast Breeding Baseʼ occupied a vast area, and there were people nearby.

Not far from the base was another enormous estate.

Above the main entrance of the estate, a huge signboard likewise stood: ʼYun Tian Pet Beast Combat Resortʼ.

However, compared to the Heart of Woods Pet Beast Breeding Base, this resort estate boasted a much finer environment.

Not only was it noticeably adorned with a rather beautiful garden and exquisitely maintained, but the estate also featured a row of small villas and an eight-story building towering among them.

At the topmost level of the central building, within the enormous living room that spanned two floors, a graceful figure stood before the window.

This was a woman appearing to be in her thirties. She was dressed in ordinary home attire, yet it could not conceal the potent allure and attractiveness women of that age possessed.

At that moment, however, the woman—whose poise and figure were outstanding—furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze fixed on something distant with displeasure.

The piercing wolf howls drew her attention, her gaze penetrating the distance, looking down upon the babbling Lingxi River miles away, as well as the Heart of Woods Pet Beast Breeding Base hidden by the forest.

And there was that figure, riding a wolf, rushing towards the riverbank.

The woman finally spoke, ”Is this the young owner of the breeding base? Our little landlord?”

Not far behind the woman stood a man, his demeanor cautious and subservient.

If Su Ping were here, he would immediately recognize the man. This was the rich fool who had rented the large empty land from his family, the very same person who built what Su Ping and his father considered a somewhat foolish Pet Beast training ground and resort.

Now, facing the woman who stood commandingly before the window, he dared not even glance at her well-defined silhouette, let alone venture any closer.

In response to the womanʼs question, he wiped the sweat from his forehead before replying, ”Yes, Chairwoman.”

The woman turned her head to give him a look, ”Itʼs been two years, and you havenʼt made any progress with the task I gave you. How can you still face me?”

Facing the reprimand, the man dared not defend himself in the slightest, only bowing his head even lower.

Seeing her subordinateʼs dejected state, the woman didnʼt press the issue, merely pausing before saying, ”Forget it. You said that Su Anyong has temporarily left Linzhou City, and now this Heart of Wood Cultivation Base, along with this large tract of land of ours, is under this youngsterʼs control, right?”

”It should be. Old Su... Su Anyong said he was heading to Beihai City up north for a while and definitely wonʼt be returning soon. Su Ping is making all the family decisions.”

The woman nodded in satisfaction, her striking red lips revealing a faint smile, ”If thatʼs the case, our battle arena has been running low on Elite and Ordinary Level wolf-type training beasts recently, hasnʼt it?

”Moreover, in a few days, graduates from Linzhou Cityʼs schools will be looking for actual combat practice after training their Pet Beasts for a while. Weʼll likely be short on Low-level training beasts by then.

”In the next few days, find some time to invite this young man over. Discuss a collaboration for renting those Forest Wolves from their base.”

”Yes, I understand, Chairwoman.”

”Get to it, then.”

After giving the order with a casual air, the woman paid no further attention to her subordinateʼs departure.

She, too, was aware that her subordinate was likely curious why Tianyun Group, a leading corporation in the entire Jianghai Province, would care about such an inconspicuous piece of land in the suburbs of Linzhou City. Although the land was indeed sizable and, after the urban planning changes in Linzhou City, not too far from the city center, it wasnʼt so critical as to warrant such attention from her, the chairwoman.

The door closed, leaving the woman alone in the vast living room, staring at the distant Lingxi River, lost in thought.

In the silent room, only the womanʼs solitary murmur could be heard,

”I wonder if the Qintian Monitor has received news and sent anyone yet. I need to find a way to speed things up.

”Itʼs truly exciting. I wonder which predecessorʼs Secret Realm will appear here in the future...”
