The Undead Basement was still the same as always, unchanged.

In the pitch-black basement, an air of gloom lingered, but it could not suppress the joy Master Zhu Hong felt at this moment.

In fact, providing a Pet Beast with a Heart of Elements corresponding to its Five Elements Attribute was really nothing new to Master Zhu Hong; he was quite adept at it.

However, attempting to cultivate five, or even seven or eight, Hearts of Elements for the same type of Pet Beast, as he was doing now, was quite an interesting affair.

As soon as Su Ping entered the basement, before he even spoke, he noticed the fiery red Paperman next to Master Zhu Hong at the far end of his line of sight.

This Paperman was visibly different from the other Fire Element Papermen.

The body of this Paperman was predominantly fiery red, and its flame-like radiance was strikingly bright—not just a pure color but glowing with a vividness like real flames.

It looked like a Paperman shrouded in flames, its body engulfed in intense fire, clearly distinct from the other merely red-hued Fire Papermen.

Instantly, Su Ping's Eye of Truth activated, and he examined the creature:

[Paperman·Fire (Wild)]

[Attribute: Undead, Fire]

[Current Level: Elite Sixth Rank]

[Racial Potential: Elite Tenth Stage]

[Skills: Paper Body Folding (Proficient), Paper Body Joint·Fire (Proficient), Paper Body Compression (Beginner), Fireball Technique (Proficiency), Heart of Fire (Beginner)]

It really was the Heart of Fire!

Su Ping let out a deep breath.

Master Zhu Hong also showed a hint of a smile. "How is it? No problems, right?"

Su Ping nodded repeatedly. "No problem, no problem."

Then he turned to Master Zhu Hong and asked, "Master Zhu Hong, once the Heart of Fire has been successfully cultivated, is it possible to quickly develop the other types of Hearts of Elements using the method for the Heart of Fire?"

Master Zhu Hong nodded. "That's correct. Resources correspond with one another; despite differing attributes, they possess similar inherent qualities. Once research on the Heart of Fire is complete, by following the same cultivation method, as long as the Paperman itself has no issues, cultivating the other Hearts of Elements will be quick."

Meanwhile, a new log suddenly appeared on the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas:

[Paperman cultivation of Heart of Fire skill, obtained Catalog Experience: 200 points!]

Though not much, even a small mosquito is meat nonetheless.

But Su Ping wasn't really in the mood to care about these things at the moment; he continued asking, "Master Zhu, if every Paperman assembled has the Heart of Fire skill, will the effect be enhanced?"

The biggest difference between Papermen and other Pet Beasts is that they can be jointed.

Master Zhu Hong thought for a moment and then shook his head. "It's possible, but not necessary. I have studied your Paperman carefully during this time and found it very interesting. However, the power of the Heart of Fire acts upon the core. After jointing, the Papermen's energy flow becomes completely interconnected. If one component Paperman has the Heart of Fire skill, adding more with the same skill would likely disrupt the energy absorption pathways rather than enhance the effect."

Su Ping nodded in understanding. He directly said, "In that case, let's not waste time, Master Zhu Hong. Can I help cultivate the corresponding Hearts of Elements?"

Without hesitation, Master Zhu Hong took out his notes. "Why be so courteous, kid? This Paperman is your invention. I've merely been working on the cultivation research to match it. Furthermore, the Five Elements Cycle of this Paperman has given me entirely new insights into Elemental Series cultivation. Naturally, I'd welcome your help."

Though this was the case, Su Ping still felt it appropriate to ask, since the development of the Heart of Fire was the sole research of Master Zhu Hong.

As Su Ping looked over the notes, Master Zhu Hong instructed him from the side, "Resource materials with different attributes share strong commonalities. The energy quantity and focal points of each attribute may vary, leading to diversity even among resources of the same level and attribute. However, once you find the balance point among them, you can discern the commonalities of other attributes. Look, for example, at the Wood Element's Spirit Grass and the Fire Element's Blazing Flower..."

Master Zhu Hong's explanations were crystal clear, and Su Ping listened intently.

After all, such an opportunity was incredibly rare.

Su Ping never thought that with the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas he could disregard these well-established Breeding Masters.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of the various effects of the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas that he admired these many Breeding Masters even more.

Master Zhu Hong before him was undoubtedly one such Breeding Master.

Even after hearing Master Zhu Hong's explanation of the cultivation essentials for the Heart of Fire, it wasn't just Su Ping who benefited—even the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas itself issued a prompt:

[Discovered Catalog 'Paperman' special cultivation method: Heart of Fire cultivation.]

It was a simple prompt, but importantly, the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas didn't suggest that Su Ping use Catalog Experience to improve anything. Clearly, according to the Atlas's detection and evaluation, there was no need to refine the Heart of Fire cultivation for the Paperman developed by Master Zhu Hong.

Within just a few days, a brand new Pet Beast cultivation skill was nearing perfection.

The abilities of an Elemental Series Breeding Master are not to be underestimated.

And more importantly, as Su Ping had previously said, for the Heart of Elements skills, mastering one meant understanding them all.
