However, he did take two steps forward.

Previously, Mist Pine had mentioned that it disliked noisy crowds and wanted to find a secluded place to flourish in solitude. Before leaving, Su Ping had arranged for Mist Pine to settle here. Then, once the design company began its work, he planned a separate redesign specifically for Mist Pine.

Therefore, this place was intended to be Mist Pine's home. It was located at the far southwestern corner of the Heart of Woods. If Lao Guan hadn't subsequently purchased a large tract of land deeds, this area, strictly speaking, might not even have been considered their territory.

This was Su Ping's first visit. Naturally, he had no idea what other Xuan Ji this place might hold.

However, whether it was an illusion or not, the moment he stepped into this area, Su Ping felt an indescribable sensation, as if it were pressing down on his own body weight. His body seemed to have grown slightly heavier. Moreover, as Su Ping walked further, this sensation became increasingly pronounced. After only a few dozen steps, even his breathing became slightly labored.

Lao Guan no longer kept him in suspense, explaining, "According to the people from the inspection company, there might be a special magnetic field beneath this area affecting it."

"Magnetic field?" Su Ping frowned slightly.

Clearly, if this issue wasn't resolved, this land indeed couldn't be developed. However, it didn't seem worth digging up the Heart of Woods just for this.

Su Ping frowned and shook his head. "Forget it. We'll deal with this place later. The Heart of Woods has no plans to expand in this direction for now."

Guan Qianshan understood Su Ping's meaning: 'not for now' didn't mean 'never'.

Judging by the young master's intentions, it was clear that the Heart of Woods would eventually expand its range and encompass an increasing number of Pet Beasts. This wasn't just about the newly developed Forest Heart. Su Ping had also asked him before leaving last time about the possibility of expanding the underground catacombs where the Papermen were located—to create a true, palace-like Undead Cultivation Great Tomb!

So, although Su Ping hadn't said it outright, Guan Qianshan still took the matter of this special land beneath their feet to heart.

「Afterward, the two men reboarded the sightseeing vehicle and finally headed towards the interior of the Forest Heart, where the botanical garden was located.」

「More than half a month had passed.」

Although winter had arrived, construction hadn't slowed in the slightest thanks to Su Ping's generous funding. The garden at the foot of the solitary mountain within the Forest Heart was home to two branches: the 'Heart of Flowers,' comprised of Rouge Powder Peach Blossom Smile and numerous other Plant Type Pet Beasts of the flower variety, and the 'Heart of Fruit,' made up of Blade Ginkgo and many other fruit trees. These two areas—a flower garden and an orchard—formed two stunning landscapes flanking the road that led up the small mountain in the Forest Heart. You could admire the flowers and pick fruits. The area was completely planned out. In addition to the original Plant Type Pet Beasts, various other Low-level resources, not necessarily Pet Beasts themselves, were planted intermittently, dotting the landscape. As a result, this flower garden and fruit orchard, stretching for more than a kilometer, didn't feel cluttered in the least.

However, Lao Guan didn't let Su Ping linger here. Instead, he quickly led him to a cliff on the mountain road further up. A single tree stood prominently on this cliff. It was none other than the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree.

Guan Qianshan then said, "Three days ago, a bird landed on the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree. It seemed injured, and the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree is treating it. I tried to get some Beast Tamers specializing in healing to treat the bird, but it's extremely fierce and won't allow any living being, other than the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree itself, to get too close!"

"Hmm?"

This time, Su Ping was genuinely intrigued and looked up at the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree.
