Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 809 - 351: Dragon Rearing Pond in the Spirit Land! Arrival of the Water Venerable!

"Ah, how wonderful!"

Beneath a bright azure sky, the rising sun bathed the Lingxi River in light, producing dazzling ripples and sparkling gleams.

A joyful shout resounded across the area.

Su Ping rode atop a blue Water Dragon, with huge water sprays swirling nearby, creating clusters of white foam bubbles.

The Water Dragon dashed swiftly over the river's surface or plunged straight into the depths, but the splashing waves never touched Su Ping on its back.

Even though he'd done this for several days now, commanding the Water Dragon to roam freely through the Heart of Water, the Lingxi River, and even West Dragon Lake brought Su Ping a thrilling feeling of dominating the seas.

One had to admit, Su Ping had really let loose these past few days.

Ever since the Ray Saint helped rebuild the Heart of Water last time, aside from accumulating more experience with the Papermen, Su Ping no longer shut himself away in the Spirit Hall like before.

The cause was straightforward.

Previously, Su Ping never anticipated that reaching Level 5 with the Origami Man Record would reveal such an incredible simulation cultivation function.

It slashed the energy and time Su Ping spent dramatically.

Any notions he had could now be realized by spending experience points in simulation cultivation.

Spending excessive personal time delving deeper into Papermen evolution paled in comparison to the advances from simulation cultivation.

As such, Su Ping felt no urgency any longer.

In truth, Su Ping had laid the groundwork for advancing and evolving the Papermen, zeroing in on the two abilities: Paper Body Folding and Paper Body Compression.

To begin with, the latter's skill level in reality demanded time to sync and slowly rise to fulfill evolution criteria.

Simulation cultivation under those setup also required vast quantities of Papermen.

The first needed real-world time, while the second demanded sufficient experience from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas to launch the simulation; neither could be forced.

Thus, Su Ping seized this period to tackle some long-postponed matters.

"Great! Thanks, Ah Shan!"

Having frolicked in the Lingxi River awhile, Su Ping at last came back to his home's shore, patting Ah Shan’s massive head. Its scales glittered like azure gems in the sunlight, then it shook itself.

Clearly, this Water Dragon—once called 'bad-tempered' by the Ray Saint—had resigned to being this youngster’s plaything over recent days.

After all, a dragon's existence could be this way; resistance failing, better to savor it.

Given this boy's talents, perhaps future gains awaited?

Su Ping leaped from Ah Shan’s back, paid the Water Dragon no mind, and headed directly into the Heart of Woods from the Lingxi River.

Inside the Heart of Woods lay not just Su Ping’s residence, but also labs for pulling resources from magic potions, combat skill training rooms, healing chambers, plus a vast zone once held by the Forest Wolf.

Fresh from the Lingxi River, Su Ping made a beeline for this spot.

Su Ping had dubbed this area the Heart of Spring before.

It stood as one of the most distinctive spots in the current Heart of Myriad Spirits.

In spare moments, Su Ping napped here, handling routine cultivation chores too.

Beyond Su Ping, several Heart of Woods dwellers frequented it when idle.

The atmosphere here was just too refreshing.

That's why Su Ping moved cultivation sites for select pet beasts requiring extended nurturing.

Biyao Chunshen raised no objections; this enigmatic being popped up in the Heart of Spring like a legendary Divine Dragon.

Apart from sporadic Heart of Spring visits, it mostly lingered in the Forest Heart zone.

Thanks to this, plant-type pet beasts in Forest Heart had surged ahead lately, with Longevity Banyan and King Gunpine climbing a whole realm in strength, others gaining varying boosts.

The plant-type pet beasts there rejoiced greatly, and post the Fogbound River Pine's evolution triumph, the rest grew far more compliant—even the prankish Sky-reaching Vine turned remarkably tame.

Such changes eased things greatly for Su Ping and the Life Ancient Tree.

It also spared Li Shu considerable headaches.

True enough, after shaking off the mental scars from the Mirror Saint incident, Li Shu regained his groove following some rest, no longer treating Bai Cang like a bitter foe on sight. He'd grasped that the inner Bai Cang was fake and recommitted to his responsibilities.

This shift meant pivoting somewhat from Forest Wolf nurturing toward Plant System development.

Lately, he'd toiled away in Forest Heart.

Su Ping stayed unconcerned, as Fogbound River Pine and Life Ancient Tree oversaw things; even if he irked feisty sorts like Sky-reaching Vine or Blade Ginkgo now and then, real peril stayed absent.

Therefore, his key tasks centered on his current duties this stretch.
