The old woman revealed that the World Tree is likely the remains of an ancient Mythical Plant being known as the God of Spring. Su Ping's understanding of plant-based beasts significantly improved under her tutelage. In exchange for her knowledge and assistance, Su Ping agreed to provide a carved Life Embryo, and the old woman left her granddaughter, Ilo Connor, to study under him for two and a half years. Meanwhile, Li Shu returned from Linzhou City as an Elite Peak Beastmaster after successfully evolving his Luozisong Pine.

From this, one could see just how inflated this guy’s ego had become. However, after returning, he hadn’t even strutted around for an hour before witnessing the methods of Ilo Connor and the noble old lady, immediately causing him to wither like a dried leaf. It obviously didn’t feel great to have to swallow his pride before he could even finish showing off. It was especially unbearable since both Zhao Qingqing and Guan Lili were present at the time.

However, this guy truly had a talent for Plant System breeding. Right now, the scope of the Forest Heart was expanding. With the acquisition of the Life Embryo, the future Forest Heart’s size and Pet Beast density would certainly not be inferior to large-scale, multi-Pet Beast coexistence zones like the Heart of Earth or the Heart of Soul. Su Ping was genuinely happy about his progress and improvement. He was Su Ping’s very first Breeder student, as well as his best friend and classmate for over a decade. Nurturing his development in this field had indeed been a very far-sighted decision.

As for Shangguan Ye, there was even less need to explain. Back then, Mu Yu had practically worshiped Charles. Even if the old lady wasn’t quite as prestigious as Charles, she was still a bona fide Plant System Breeding Master. A title like that might not see a second holder for decades. The only previous holder from decades ago—before the old lady obtained the title—was her sister. One could well imagine the weight of such a title.

However, Shangguan Ye was different from Mu Yu; while he was excited, he hadn’t reached the point of blind worship. Following the old lady around these past two days had earned him a good deal of guidance. He had gained a deeper understanding of Spirit Lands and the breeding of Plant-based Pet Beasts. It was hard to say whether he would take a step further in the future. The past few days spent following the old lady had been fulfilling, but also genuinely exhausting.

Now that the old lady had left, Su Ping finally had some free time. However, just two hours into this leisurely morning, Su Ping, who was sitting in the library, heard an urgent KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK at the door.

Su Ping set down the book in his hands. "Come in."

Li Shu ran in, beaming with joy. "Bro Ping, what are you busy with?"

Seeing his posture, Su Ping put down the ink pen in his other hand. "Spit it out already."

"Don’t be so impatient. Didn’t you ask Bai Cang to let you know? The Heart of Soul has officially opened for business. A ton of students from Jianghai University have shown up and completely blocked the street. Bai Cang is too busy, so he sent me over to inform you."

Hearing this, Su Ping perked up. "Oh, it’s opening today, right! Alright, I’ll go take a look and see how the promotional event is running."

Su Ping quickly stood up. The opening of the Heart of Soul represented a key link in his industrial chain and future income. Today was its first official day welcoming customers. Although they had done a soft launch before, that didn’t truly count. Naturally, he had to go see it for himself.

Watching Su Ping’s departing figure, Li Shu was about to close and lock the library door when he caught sight of Su Ping’s desk out of the corner of his eye, noticing the closed, unfinished manuscript pages. Li Shu thought for a moment, then tiptoed over to the desk. He looked at the cover over the blank pages, as well as the stack of copybooks nearby, their ink dry, clearly having been entirely used up long ago.

His attention was primarily focused on that book. Li Shu had initially assumed it was some kind of breeding journal or notes on a specific Pet Beast written by Bro Ping. To his absolute surprise, the large characters on the cover left him somewhat baffled:

"Regarding How I Went to Find a Father for a Pet Beast and Ended Up Discovering a Resurrected Mythical Pet Beast"

Looking at this excessively long book title, Li Shu frowned deeply. He wouldn’t give a novel with a name like this a second glance, even if he scrolled past it ten times.

He shook his head and thought, "Why did Bro Ping suddenly decide to try his hand at writing novels in his free time? And one that looks like a guaranteed flop at first glance, no less! It seems that when I have some free time, as a veteran bookworm, I’ll have to give Bro Ping some pointers."

With this in mind, Li Shu tiptoed out of the library and eagerly jogged after him, heading toward the Soul Heart Store across the street.
