The Poison Attribute is a separate attribute in many Pet Beasts, but for Xiao Qing, it was different. Based on his recent speculation, Su Ping had a strong feeling. Xiao Qing's Poison Type Attribute must be derived from its own Wood Attribute, he surmised. If that's the case, perhaps boosting its Wood Attribute will cause the energy of its Poison Attribute to increase as well?

Therefore, he handed the Heart of Wood Marrow to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing didn't hesitate at all and swallowed it in one gulp.

Recently, Xiao Qing had been consistently using resources like the Plague Orb, a Commander Level Poison System Resource.

Xiao Qing had long been accustomed to resources of this level.

After thinking for a while, Su Ping took out a bottle of Heart of the Wolf and let Xiao Qing consume it.

Then, while quietly waiting for Xiao Qing's changes, he turned his head and looked at Lao Guan, who was still standing there.

"Uncle Guan, is there anything else?"

Guan Qianshan opened his mouth, then glanced at Su Ping, somewhat uncertain but also visibly worried, "Xiao Ping, have you been too tired recently? You don't look so good."

Hmm?

Though there had indeed been a lot going on recently, Su Ping really hadn't felt it.

He shook his head. "No? I feel fine."

Guan Qianshan's brows furrowed slightly, as he once again noticed that Su Ping's complexion seemed to be getting worse!

So, Guan Qianshan stepped forward, turned on the main room light, and looked at Su Ping in front of him, shocked. "Xiao Ping, what's happened to you? Quick, to the hospital!"

Huh?!

Seeing Guan Qianshan's sincere concern, Su Ping was slightly startled and then subconsciously looked towards the mirror. What he saw gave him quite a fright.

In the mirror, his cheeks were tinged green, his lips were purple; he looked like a man on the brink of death.

What was going on?

As a Senior Breeder, Su Ping understood at once.

This was the manifestation of poisoning!

Wait a minute!

Poisoning!?

Su Ping sharply turned his gaze to Xiao Qing.

Of course, it definitely wasn't Xiao Qing who attacked him. A Contracted Beast bound by a Soul Contract represents the most intimate and interdependent relationship of life and death.

But then, he suddenly remembered what he had done.

Just now, hadn't he eaten a sunflower seed that Xiao Qing had grown?

According to Su Ping's previous speculation, the reason Xiao Qing enjoyed planting so much was due to two factors.

The first was that Xiao Qing was using its Mutated Poison Wood Heart to absorb the pure Wood Energy from the resources it planted.

The second was likely that when there was a significant imbalance between Xiao Qing's own Poison and Wood energies, it would release the excess Poison energy through planting!

In other words, those damn sunflower seeds with smiling faces were not Life Series plants containing the Wood Element energy of the sun! They were actual Poison Type mutated resources nurtured by Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing might be fine eating those seeds, but he was not!

Seeing his own reflection, Su Ping was momentarily infuriated by his own stupid act of self-poisoning!

The next moment, Su Ping only felt his vision blur, as streaks of light appeared before his eyes.

A feeling of indescribable dizziness washed over him.

Without thinking twice, he immediately activated his Talent 'Elementalization.'

His elementalized body substantially reduced the dizzying effects. Without a second thought, Su Ping picked up the Elite Level Life-based Resource 'Pure Spirit Grass' from the resources Guan Qianshan had brought and swallowed it.

His Elementalization ended, but Su Ping had already swallowed the Pure Spirit Grass.

Three minutes later, the feeling of dizziness slowly dissipated.

Su Ping let out a long sigh of relief.

Feeling somewhat weak, he waved his hand toward Lao Guan beside him. "It's okay, don't worry. Just some minor issues with cultivation."

At this moment, Su Ping somewhat understood why the title of Breeding Master required a Beast Tamer to have reached the Emperor Level.

If one's Level Realm was too low, such a minor mistake could indeed be very dangerous.

However, this was also the price for not having paid close attention to Xiao Qing for so long.

Guan Qianshan looked at the weakened Su Ping, his face slowly turning from purplish-blue to pale white.

At this moment, Guan Qianshan suddenly wondered if it had been a mistake to let his daughter learn to become a Breeder.

If an exceptional Breeder like Xiao Ping could face such dangers, wouldn't his own daughter be at risk in the future?

Unfortunately, at this moment, Su Ping really wasn't in the mood to explain to him.

Only after repeated confirmations did Lao Guan leave Su Ping's room with deep concern.

After consuming the Heart of Wood Marrow, Xiao Qing plunged into a deep sleep induced by the surge in energy.

However, Xiao Qing didn't make the exhausted Su Ping wait too long.

About ten minutes later, streaks of green light began to shimmer on Xiao Qing's body.

The next moment, Xiao Qing's energy fluctuations reached a peak.

Simultaneously, Xiao Qing broke through from the Elite Eighth Rank and reached the Elite Ninth Rank.

Now, Xiao Qing was only one rank behind Su Ping and Qian Yi.

At the same time, Xiao Qing also sent a substantial amount of spiritual power back to Su Ping.

However, that was not the end of it.

Because at that moment, the Wood Energy within Xiao Qing finally balanced with its Poison energy for the first time, achieving a special, complementary fusion.

Suddenly, a bright light shone from Xiao Qing's body.

This light was the glow of skill comprehension!

Su Ping was startled and subconsciously activated the Eye of Truth to look at Xiao Qing:

[Forest Wolf (Contracted)]

[Attributes: Wood, Poison]

[Current Level: Elite Ninth Rank]

[Racial Potential: Commander Third Rank]

[Skills: Sunlight Absorption (Proficient), Poison Vine Strangulation (Proficient), Self-Healing (Proficient), Accelerated Growth (Proficient), Mutated Poison Wood Heart (Proficient), Poison Flower (Proficient), Grass Roots (Beginner)]

[Grass Roots (Beginner): Can activate Wood Element Skills. Grass roots will grow rapidly beneath each step taken, moving swiftly underground. These roots can instantly burst from the earth to unleash 'Poison Vine Strangulation' and 'Poison Flower', and they enhance both Skills.]

This skill...

Su Ping sighed.

Indeed, looking at this ability, it's clearly related to Poison Flower.

When Xiao Qing was promoted to Elite Level, it only had Poison Flower and not Grass Roots. That already indicated Xiao Qing lacked a balance in Wood Energy back then!

Ultimately, it was because I was still too inexperienced back then. My foundation in cultivation theory was incomplete, and I hadn't paid enough attention to Xiao Qing, which led to this oversight.

Fortunately, Su Ping had discovered and addressed this gap before evolving Xiao Qing.

And at that moment, the pages of Su Ping's Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas slowly flipped over.

The previously reviewed Forest Wolf Catalog lit up.

At the same time, on the pages of the Forest Wolf Catalog, a new log entry appeared:

[Heart of Wood Marrow used. The Mutated Poison Type Forest Wolf's Level increased, Wood Element ability further enhanced. Can consume 11,980 Experience Points from this Catalog...]

[Gained significant understanding of the reasons for the Forest Wolf's Poison Type mutation, drastically reducing required Experience Points. Can consume 1,600 Experience Points from this Catalog to analyze the cause of the Forest Wolf's Poison Type bloodline mutation and obtain the method for mutated cultivation.]

[Confirm consumption?]

The instant Su Ping saw this prompt, his eyes brightened intensely.
