After a year of hard work and training, they deserved so good food for the New Year, right?
So, Su Ping requested a considerable number of tree fruits from the orchards of Peach Blossom and Heart of Fruit. At the sa ti, he purchased more than ten Commander Level tree fruits, and even one Monarch Level tree fruit, to serve as a special addition to their al.
Besides these, there was also at from fish caught in the Heart of Water, such as the Blue Pattern Snow Lance Fish, a favorite of both Su Ping and the Sea Core Spirit Turtle, and the Yellow Spotted Electric Carp, whose flesh had a slightly numbing quality. The Snow Lance Fish could be enjoyed directly as sashimi, while the others required so preparation.
The Forest Wolf was also a at-eating Pet Beast. Processing the fish at didn’t need to be overly complex; a simple fish paste with so supplentary side dishes and ingredients would suffice. It seed simple, but there were so many wolves! Su Ping had prepared plenty of ingredients, but getting everything ready certainly took a while.
Apart from the Forest Wolf, Su Ping also took great care with the Little Crow’s food. After all, the Little Crow had only recently joined the Heart of Myriad Spirits, and Su Ping planned to build a habitat for avian creatures there in the future. From the na Fla-Eating Crow, one could guess what it fed on. So, the most direct food was the Fla Fruit produced in Su Ping’s Beast Taming Space.
But what left Su Ping speechless was that, during this period, he had also accumulated a good amount of Fla Fruits in the Beast Taming Space. However, he didn’t know if it was because the Fla Fruits were within the Beast Taming Space, but they would dissipate and vanish if stored there for more than a day. This baffled Su Ping. Ultimately, he could only surmise that the spatial characteristics of the Fire Cultivation Realm might have an absorptive property for Fire Elent items, leading to the disappearance of the Fla Fruits. Fortunately, after he removed the fully condensed Fla Fruits from the space, they no longer vanished.
Besides the Fla Platter composed of Fla Fruits, there were also grains and ats specifically for the Little Crow.
The Sea Core Spirit Turtle, which had a low-key presence and had also only joined the Heart of Myriad Spirits a month ago, was easier to cater to. There were plenty of fish and shrimp caught from the Heart of Water; Su Ping looked up so cooking thods and prepared them according to the Sea Core Spirit Turtle’s tastes and preferences. Fortunately, Su Ping had an unreliable father. Over the years, apart from eating takeout, he had actually prepared most of his own als. He had beco quite proficient at it by now.
The trickier part was the Plant System Pet Beasts. Plant System Pet Beasts were different from other animal-type Pet Beasts. Plant System Pet Beasts couldn’t share most of those foods. The ’food’ for Plant System Pet Beasts, aside from sunlight and air, primarily consisted of Spirit Water and Spiritual Soil! So, Su Ping put so extra effort into this area. The ’New Year’s Eve dinners,’ made from various kinds of Spirit Water mixed with Spiritual Soil resources, were finally ready. As for the Paperman, there wasn’t much to say—various paper resources would do.
He was busy for the better part of a day. Finally, day turned from dawn to dusk.
When six o’clock arrived, Su Ping appeared punctually in the clearing before the forest. From the tree branches and the Sky-reaching Vine in front of the house, large, fiery red lanterns illuminated the already darkened night sky.
"Dinner ti!"
There were no tables or chairs, no bowls or chopsticks. Su Ping sat directly on the mats that had been spread out earlier on the vast lawn. The Pet Beasts, who had been waiting anxiously nearby, finally approached. However, at this mont, they were hardly tempted by the delicacies Su Ping had laid out on the large mats.
Well, so were still tempted. For instance, the little Paperman Qian Yi was squatting nearby, its eyes fixed on the various paper resources soaked in the Five Elents, a trickle of drool escaping its lips.
Su Ping glanced at this little fellow. "Have you thought about what performance you’re going to do?"
The little fellow imdiately straightened up, thumped its chest, and cried, "WOAH!" It exuded utter confidence. From the little guy’s cartoonishly determined expression, Su Ping understood its conviction.
And indeed, that was the case. With countless Pet Beasts, including the Life Ancient Tree, looking on with solemn expressions, the first-ever, uniquely original Heart of Myriad Spirits Pet Beast Performance Gala officially began!
And the first to take the stage was none other than the suprely confident little Paperman Qian Yi. Qian Yi walked to the front of all the Pet Beasts, onto the stage temporarily built from wood.
Su Ping comnted from the side, "This is my Soul Contracted Pet Beast, Paperman Qian Yi. Elite Tenth Stage!"
The purpose of the gala was to allow the Pet Beasts of the Heart of Myriad Spirits to deepen their bonds and mutual understanding. This segnt was quite necessary.
Qian Yi let out another "WOAH!" and then directly drew the sword made of papern from behind its back. It was a fiery red Fire Sword. At that instant, the very air seed to grow hotter with the sword’s appearance.
Su Ping was montarily stunned. Then, before he could even react, Qian Yi’s face instantly changed to show the Ace of Diamonds! The next mont, what sounded like the cry of a phoenix echoed! The Fire Sword, its dazzling energy transforming into a phoenix spreading its wings as if to take flight, soared out in unison with Qian Yi’s own movent.
This sword strike was of indescribable splendor and beauty. However, it also contained terrifying heat and danger.
Is this the Paperman’s new swordsmanship? Like a Fire Phoenix engulfing the plains, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
The next mont, the Fire Sword was sheathed, and the little Paperman let out a long breath, "WOAH... A fire, fleeting yet unextinguishable—this is my sword..."
"WOAH... This sword technique, let’s call it the Qian Yi Fire Sword..."
Su Ping opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the na of this sword technique was set. It was clearly a swordsmanship the little fellow had comprehended long ago. He couldn’t be blad for this; how could he have known that Qian Yi would comprehend a Fire Elent swordsmanship technique after seeing that Fire Phoenix? So, in the end, following the ’Qian Yi Whirlwind,’ another swordsmanship technique nad by Qian Yi itself was added: the ’Qian Yi Fire Sword.’
But it had to be said, Qian Yi had set an excellent precedent for all the Pet Beasts.
Inspired by Qian Yi’s performance, the Pet Beasts took to the stage one by one. They displayed the performances they had prepared. So were comical, so amusing, others imposing—like Xiao Qing’s special planting skills, or Old Sha’s self-propelled luminescence, and so on.
Particularly noteworthy was the Sea Core Spirit Turtle. The little fellow was young and clearly didn’t quite understand what a talent show entailed. So, it perford a specialty it had recently mastered. It wasn’t a Skill, but rather a special ability. The Sea Core Spirit Turtle lay down on the stage and then perford a kip-up followed by a backflip. You see, a turtle righting itself after being flipped over has always been a challenge. And now, the Sea Core Spirit Turtle’s performance truly left Su Ping not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Besides these, there was the Little Crow. The special talent displayed by the Little Crow also surprised Su Ping.
Bathing in fire. This was the Little Crow’s special trick. At this mont, the Little Crow, amidst a blazing fire, seed as comfortable and content as if it were taking a bath. It wasn’t exceptionally remarkable, but it intrigued many of the other Pet Beasts. Even the Fla Morning Glory actively twined around it, and the crow and the flower ’conversed’ quite happily.
At that mont, the wisp of sorrow that had shrouded the Little Crow completely vanished. It finally felt a complete sense of belonging towards the Heart of Myriad Spirits.
This place is my new ho!
Everyone here is family!
And at that very instant, on the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas within Su Ping’s soul, a Catalog he had never seen before slowly lit up. It was none other than the rather ordinary Fla-Eating Crow.
[Catalog ’Fla-Eating Crow’ lit up. Current Catalog Level: 1. Origin Reward: Levitation Skill!]
It had finally lit up! He finally had his first avian Pet Beast’s Catalog activated! Su Ping was overjoyed. Just as he was about to examine the Levitation Skill’s ability, he was suddenly taken aback. Because in the next mont, another Catalog in the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas also lit up.
And this ti, it was the Sea Core Spirit Turtle.
