Master Zhu Hong raised his eyebrows but didn't rush to discuss the matter of the Five Elements Paper Diagram. The breeding work was at its final stage, so he was no longer in a hurry for that moment.

"You do have a talent for pet beast breeding, and you have the ability. I'm aware of your ambition with the Heart of Myriad Spirits. The serpent-kind pet beasts often have some associations with Dragon Pets, and they do have great breeding value," he said.

Su Ping couldn't help but lament, "I wish I could. I'm thinking of using the Shadow Clone Technique right now to study the Paperman while investigating the plant-based pet beast evolution on the other side, and carry out the ancestral evolution of the Flame-Eating Crow. Also, there will be the Wolf Pets that Old Liu is going to send over soon. Oh, and now I also have this Cloud-Patterned Tree Python and Blackwater Mysterious Snake."

Master Zhu Hong smiled, "Young fellow, do you know why the Breeding Masters of Dragon Nation, even those from all over the world, ask their subordinates to train a certain number of breeder students? Human capabilities are limited; even for any favored child of the heavens, it's impossible to take care of everything. However, as a Breeding Master, you can totally control the overall direction and leave the details to be perfected by others! It's very important for the Heart of Myriad Spirits to expand according to your ideas and become the breeding base for all kinds of pet beasts," he said.

Su Ping was stunned.

He fell into deep thought.

That's right. For a Pet Beast Breeding Base like the Heart of Myriad Spirits, even if I have the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, it's impossible for me to personally oversee everything, like I did with the Wanmu Wolf initially. I know very well how much mental energy I consumed during that period.

"Do you mean for me to recruit some breeder students or assistants?" Su Ping asked.

Master Zhu Hong nodded.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fuhai's eyes lit up next to him, "Xiao Ping, I've been waiting for you to say that! As soon as you give the word, I can guarantee, not just Junior Breeders, but even Intermediate Breeders would queue from the Heart of Myriad Spirits all the way to the center of Linzhou City! You can pick whoever you want at that time."

Su Ping forced a smile, "Isn't that an exaggeration?"

Even though Su Ping said that, he truly knew it was no exaggeration! With his current standing at the Breeder Association of Linzhou, having just won first prize in the breeder contest, describing him as rising like the sun wasn't an overstatement at all in this circle! It was just that Su Ping really kept a low profile. Normally, let alone entering the Breeder Association, he hardly ever visited the center of Linzhou City, so many who wanted to curry favor didn't get the chance. Only some were undeterred, hoping to find a chance encounter with Su Ping in the Heart of Myriad Spirits, but the New Year celebrations hadn't provided a good opportunity. Su Ping's own abilities needed no proof; more importantly, his network needed no further mention. Not many common people knew about Sang Sheng and Leng Ye, but within the upper echelons of the Breeder Association, it had always been rumored that besides President Liu almost certainly grooming him as a successor, Master Zhu Hong was also very optimistic about him and was now at the Heart of Myriad Spirits. At the very least, he might be the future president of the Jianghai Breeder Association. What if he took one step further and became a Breeding Master? Given his age, it wasn't impossible—in fact, it was highly probable! If one could establish a 'teacher-student' relationship with him, even if only in name, the path as a breeder would become much smoother.

Su Ping also lapsed into contemplation. Indeed, there was some truth to it. He had the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas; as long as the corresponding Catalog entries were lit up, daily contact with the respective pet beasts would earn him Experience Points. Any problems with breeding these Catalog pet beasts wouldn't be an issue. If he truly wanted to realize his dream of making the Heart of Myriad Spirits the most unique and comprehensive Pet Beast Breeding Base, it would indeed be difficult for him alone. As it stood, with Li Shu and Guan Lili present, he barely had to worry about the Forest Wolf's breeding at all.

That was the advantage, but Su Ping still had concerns.

"Are you afraid of misjudging people?" Master Zhu was a man of insight; he immediately perceived Su Ping's concerns.

Indeed, that was what Su Ping was worried about. In this world, humans would always be much more difficult to understand than pet beasts. Su Ping never liked to assume the worst of others, but in fact, many times there were indeed some matters and people that didn't withstand scrutiny.

This time, it was Liu Fuhai who laughed, "Su Ping, as your strength and status improve, these things simply won't be problems! If you were just an ordinary youth, even with a little talent in breeding and having just started, hardly anyone would pay attention if you wanted to find a mentor. But with your ability and current standing, even if you teach them nothing and merely order them about, they would eagerly comply. Once you have ability, most people around you will be exceptionally supportive. Heh, that includes Master Zhu and myself," he said.

The words weren't pleasant to hear, but they were indeed true.

Su Ping nodded. "Let me think about it. There's no rush for now!"

The two didn't press him any further; after all, it was ultimately Su Ping's own decision.

However, just as the topic had returned to the breeding of the Paperman and Su Ping was about to immerse himself in work, something else came up for him. Lao Guan's phone call was already coming through:

"Su Ping, would you like to come over and see the design work for the Heart of Soul? Once you give the go-ahead, we can start right away!"

Indeed, the Heart of Soul!
