Wood Heart Beast Pet Breeding Base, within the manor.
The door to the Potion Workshop was opened.
Old Sha's expression was savage as he looked into the smog-filled workshop.
Old Sha didn't know what his young master was doing.
But this process, like boiling feces, made Old Sha doubt for the first time whether Su An Yong's departure, entrusting his Beast Pet Breeding Base to the young master, was truly the right decision.
Now, this was the most struggling and conflicted moment of his wolf life.
He was afraid that his young master might suffer some problem from the fumes.
If he fainted inside, or even died from the stench, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Su An Yong.
However, with the Potion Workshop door open, the towering stench was no longer just a nose-burning problem.
It was also eye-watering!
Canine Beast Pets inherently have the keenest sense of smell.
It's imaginable what immense courage and life-risking loyalty it took for Old Sha, a Commander-level Beast Pet, to stand at the Potion Workshop entrance, enduring the pungent smell and watching Su Ping inside.
Su Ping stood on a scaffold, holding a half-meter-tall pestle.
The cooking stove below maintained a constant high temperature of eighty degrees Celsius inside the furnace.
He was fully equipped, wearing a gas mask and an oxygen tank, looking into the smoke-billowing medicine furnace.
At this moment, Su Ping praised Blue Star's technology.
If this were in ancient times, the brewing of potions could only be done manually, and without these instruments, Su Pinghad reason to suspect that even with the recipe, not much of the perfect 'Wood Heart' Potion could be produced.
The great technological advancements of the new era were truly wonderful.
Not only were there valuable mechanical Beast Pets, but Beastmasters and breeders also found things much more convenient.
All the resource herbs and materials on one side had already been thrown in.
The Wolf Smoke Grass had also all been added.
Next was the final stage of the process.
The next moment, amidst the dense smoke, Su Ping twisted the temperature knob of the medicine furnace, and instantly, the temperature directly rose to one hundred and twenty degrees Celsius.
The rapidly stirring pestle made Su Ping's arm ache a little.
However, fortunately, after officially becoming a Beastmaster, with the increase in Realm, a Beastmaster's Physical Body would also be strengthened to a certain extent.
If it were before, Su Ping would definitely not have been able to endure such high-intensity production.
The instantly elevated temperature, combined with rapid stirring, caused bubbling to appear on the originally pulpy dark green viscous liquid at the bottom.
An even more indescribable stench wafted up from within.
The gas mask blocked the smell, but the smoke had slowly receded, and Su Pinglooked at the liquid at the bottom through the gas mask.
Finally, after Su Ping's arm had gone numb, the thick liquid completely solidified.
Su Ping leaped directly from the scaffold, came to the interface at the bottom of the medicine furnace, and took out the container he had prepared long ago.
Immediately, from the outlet valve, a dark green liquid, like a relatively diluted loquat paste, slowly flowed out.
Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After closing the medicine furnace and activating its self-filtering function, Su Ping walked out of the workshop with the sealed potion.
Through the gas mask, Su Ping saw Old Sha's resentful face.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Su Ping belatedly took off his gas mask.
Then he subconsciously sniffed.
In less than 0.1 seconds, Su Ping quickly aimed the oxygen tank mask next to him at himself.
He rubbed the even more resentful Old Sha:
"Old Sha, you've suffered, but it's okay, you'll know the benefits once you eat this tomorrow!"
Looking at his young master's confident face, Old Sha glanced again at the small bottle of dark green 'essence' that Su Ping had spent several Xiao Shi boiling, like boiling feces.
Old Sha's eyes were complex; he had never imagined that one day, the young master he had watched grow up since childhood would try to poison him.
To feed him feces!?
And openly, right in front of him.
Old Sha swallowed, and his huge wolf body let out an extremely clear 'gulped' sound.
Then, before Su Ping could react, he dashed directly into the base's forest like a wisp of smoke, so fast that not even a shadow could be seen.
Su Ping scratched his head and looked again at the improved 'Wood Heart' Potion in his hand.
Is it really that exaggerated?
He belatedly turned his head to look again at the still-stinking Potion Workshop, and recalling the smell just now, he involuntarily shivered.
Ew... invigorating!
Although this stuff was indeed a bit eye-watering, it still had to be eaten.
But not now.
According to the Potion recipe, after the final boiling, it still needed to cool down and solidify into a jelly-like state to be considered completely finished.
Having been busy all day, Su Ping was too tired to think much. After the bottle of Wood Heart returned to room temperature, he placed it in a low-temperature refrigerator before returning to his room.
Xiao Qing was still sleeping in the Beast Space.
After becoming his contracted Beast Pet, Su Ping's own Realm could greatly feedback to the Beast Pet itself, accelerating the Beast Pet's growth.
Xiao Qing was currently in a stage of rapid growth.
Opening his phone, the first thing that appeared was the message notification from his class group chat.
As soon as Su Ping clicked in, a message appeared:
"I heard the class monitor contracted a Commander-level racial potential Red-toothed Tiger, that's amazing! We'll probably need the class monitor to look out for us from now on! @Zhou Shuchen"
No sooner had this message been sent than, within a few seconds, another message appeared:
"It's alright, just good luck. Director Zhang found the connection for me. The down payment cost two million, sigh, I'll have to start paying off loans now. But it's worth it. The Red-toothed Tiger has only been contracted for half a month and has already learned Flame Pounce. Its talent is incomparable to ordinary Beast Pets."
Although it had a self-deprecating tone, the words clearly conveyed a sense of pride.
It was none other than the class monitor, Zhou Shuchen, who had even changed his profile picture to a red tiger cub.
Evidently, even though the world was different, the class group chat still had the same dynamics.
Only the topic had changed to contracted Beast Pets.
But then again, a Commander-level racial potential Red-toothed Tiger was indeed good.
A two-million down payment wasn't expensive.
However, Zhou Shuchen's family was just an ordinary household. Although he had connections with Director Zhang, the loan amount must have been unimaginable.
This guy certainly had guts.
Speaking of which, this class monitor's talent was reportedly the relatively rare 'Fire Affinity,' which could provide a certain combat power boost to fire-attribute Beast Pets, making it a very suitable talent for becoming a battle Beastmaster.
No wonder this guy and his family probably emptied their savings to get him this Red-toothed Tiger as his first Beast Pet through a loan.
"Now, is Su Ping the only one left in the class who hasn't contracted a Beast Pet?"
Someone suddenly asked.
"Young Master Su has high standards. Before, Director Zhang kindly introduced him to a Commander-level racial potential Scythe Giant Centipede, but he refused it."
Zhou Shuchen's Red-toothed Tiger avatar flashed again.
Su Ping raised an eyebrow. During school, this good class monitor had been polite to him, not overly friendly, but not offensive either.
After all, although Su Ping's family wasn't some 'second-generation Beastmaster' type, they were still quite well-off.
This class monitor was the kind of person who knew how to handle things.
Now that they had graduated, he was being so Yin and Yang in the class group chat. Was this his true nature being exposed?
