Indeed, it was gone.

Looking at the cliff, where was the Flame-Eating Crow from yesterday?

Su Ping felt a mix of sadness and anger.

Couldn't it at least have said goodbye before leaving? Birds from out of town have no manners at all!

Nevertheless, Su Ping still held on to a one percent glimmer of hope as he turned his attention to the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree.

"Hundred Birds, did the Little Crow show any reaction when it left?"

The Psychic Communication ability allowed the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree to understand Su Ping's meaning, and then, it shook its head.

"It simply left without any reaction."

Su Ping nodded. "Then, did you see which direction it went?"

"The direction where the sun rises."

The East?

Su Ping unconsciously glanced towards the East. The sky was vast, allowing birds to fly freely. Even if he knew the direction, finding the Little Crow again would be a difficult feat.

Sighing helplessly, Su Ping looked at the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree, which seemed lonelier now, and stroked its trunk.

"Don't worry, later on, I'll build you a special bird sanctuary..."

The Hundred Birds Wutong Tree apparently couldn't resist Su Ping's pie-in-the-sky promise.

After comforting the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree, Su Ping went back to his base.

After all, whether it was the Flame-Eating Crow or those costly Elf Leaves, they were merely diversions in Su Ping's life. He had important things to do right away.

Su Ping didn't rashly call Zhu Hong. This Master Zhu had come to Linzhou, surely for important business of his own. Although Su Ping really did want to consult with this Master Zhu, he also had to maintain a sense of propriety, right? Besides, there was no urgent need to trouble the Breeding Master for the time being. Troubling someone without understanding the gravity of the situation is ultimately impolite.

Without a break, Su Ping made his way to his own underground crypt. This territory was merely a place where Qian Yi, the Paperman, used to train. If Su Ping wanted to engage in large-scale Cultivation of Undead Pet Beasts in the future, he would have to expand this place, but there was no hurry. The reason was simple: besides Papermen, he did not have any other Undead Pet Beasts to delve into for the time being, and, more importantly, he had not yet decided on a name for this Great Tomb if it were to be built.

The gloomy underground chamber was bathed in the bleak white of incandescent lights. Indeed, it matched the atmosphere needed for an Undead Pet Beast breeding ground.

Within this chamber, several Papermen were moving around.

"CHIRP! (I, Qian Yi, have returned!)"

A white light flickered, and Qian Yi, who had finally leaped out of Su Ping's Beast Taming Space, sounded excited. Yesterday, after Qian Yi's Level broke through to Elite Peak on its own, it also reached this bottleneck. Not only that, Xiao Qing also broke through to Elite Eighth Stage with the help of those Poison System Resources.

Essentially, everything was in readiness; all that was lacking was the crucial element.

"Qian Yi, take control of all the Papermen and bring them here!"

After Qian Yi's Paper Body Control epiphany, Su Ping no longer needed to teach those foolish Papermen how to fold each component, saving a lot of time. So, for the foundational Cultivation of Papermen, Qian Yi was an indispensable operator. Having Qian Yi help with control and folding first would allow these Papermen, once familiar with the folded forms, to directly transform in the future.

Qian Yi chirped obediently, "CHIRP! (My sword!)"

However, this time, to Qian Yi's disappointment, Su Ping had called these Papermen over, and it was not to make swords for Qian Yi—at least not currently.

Su Ping took out the Five Elements Formation Map made of strange materials, then fell into thought. He had completely understood the formation of the Five Elements Formation Map. But whether these Papermen could assemble the shape of the Five Elements Formation Map was obviously a question.

The advanced forms of Papermen... They must perfectly leverage their strengths. The assembly speed must be as fast as possible, the resulting combat power as strong as possible, and they must have as many functionalities as possible! In summary, the more that can be combined, the better.

If a Five Elements Formation Map was to be assembled with Papermen, it would need five Papermen. But could multiple such Five Elements Papermen be combined like Lego blocks, building up more and more?

Thinking about it is useless. I must truly practice to discover and solve problems.

Thus, Su Ping let out a breath. The Papermen present seemed to feel the fluctuations in their master's emotions. Under Qian Yi's constraint, however, they couldn't move much. Qian Yi was like the true general, while the other Papermen were the soldiers that could be assembled.

"Qian Yi, have five ordinary Papermen who have never combined before step forward!"

"CHIRP! (Step forward!)"

Five Papermen walked out of the group in unison.

Su Ping took out several pieces of Soul-Settling Paper, used for feeding the Papermen, and set them aside.

The Five Elements Formation Map was quite complex. If he were to rely solely on the manual and the similarly ancient sketches unearthed with it, it would take Su Ping several days just to get these Papermen to assemble a part of the Five Elements Formation Map's structure. The reason was simple: assembling this thing was not just a matter of creating a certain shape. In fact, the shape was merely a channel for Energy transportation. What was really important was to form entirely different Energy exchange channels to create a cycle of the Five Elements nourishing each other!
