Chapter 182: Making Main Food, Stable Growth

“What academy? Battle Soul Academy has a lot of competition pressure, it would be very challenging for you. Central Academy has many geniuses, strong teaching staff, countless gems, it would also be challenging for you. Southern Three Provinces United Academy, all the top talents from the three southern provinces gather here, it would definitely be a very good academy for you! Shendu Academy, the cradle of Art Soul Masters in the War Zone, is also not bad. Yushou Academy, known for raising Soul Pets, a top academy in the War Zone… all are good choices… and Junhun Academy, if you go there, you can get the most resources… all are good places.”

Li Yanming said briefly.

Teacher Zheng had also introduced these academies these past few days.

But Wang Che did not plan to go to any of them.

“What about you?” Li Yanming asked.

Wang Che smiled and said:

“I plan to go to North River Forest Sea University.”

“Mm, good… mm? Wait?” Li Yanming subconsciously froze, “You want to go to this university? Northern River also has very good top universities, Northern River Comprehensive Academy is also a top academy in the War Zone, although not as good as the ones I mentioned… but what do you mean you want to go to North River Forest Sea University?”

“It’s not that this academy is bad, although it is a first-tier academy. But the only thing this academy has going for it is the Soul Plant major… it mainly focuses on planting various Soul Plant herbs and crops… what do you mean by going to this academy?”

“This academy’s Douhun Major, Yushou Major, and other mainstream majors are all very average…”

“Don’t mess around!”

Li Yanming looked at Wang Che.

Zhou Xing on the side also could not understand.

“I have decided to go to this academy.” Wang Che said.

The two of them were dumbfounded.

With your talent, why not go to any good academy?

Whether it’s fighting or raising Soul Pets, or Martial Soul, just go to any top academy.

Wouldn’t the teaching staff, the environment, the resources and grounds be good?

The two of them could not understand.

But Wang Che felt it was quite normal.

Teaching?

To be honest, he did not need anyone to teach him.

Whether it was fighting or raising Soul Pets, or Martial Soul… who could teach him?

No one could.

Going to these top academies, the only highlight was the good resources.

But…

‘The Spirit Field in the first layer of Myriad Treasure Dao Palace will be usable soon. By then, as long as I can find various rare herbs and crops, I can plant and cultivate them myself…’

‘I am a walking resource…’

Grow my own crops, use them myself.

And Wang Che had inquired, North River Forest Sea University specialized in researching various Soul Plant herbs and crops.

They had many rare Soul Plant seeds, and various rare and uncommon herbs.

They might even have seeds of some Natural Treasures!

Going to this place, with the power of the first layer of Myriad Treasure Dao Palace, just developing for half a year would build up resources… much more comfortable than in those top universities.

Of course, Li Yanming and Zhou Xing could not understand.

After all, this was like being able to choose between Tsinghua and Peking University at will, but you chose to go to an agricultural university…

The two of them naturally could not accept it.

They could not understand the thoughts of a genius monster.

But since they could not persuade him, they could only give up.

Li Yanming and Zhou Xing left, full of doubts and confusion.

There was less than a month left before school started.

After the two left, Wang Che immediately bought a large amount of resources online.

First was Green Caterpillar.

Now that it had received the inheritance of Empty God Dragon, to better inherit it in the future, its body strength and spiritual strength could not fall behind.

Especially Spiritual Power and Spatial Power. Spiritual Power was related to its Dream Space.

Dream Space, in turn, was related to its training speed and comprehension level of Soul Skills.

In the past two days, Wang Che had experienced how powerful this Soul Skill was.

Especially for a Soul Pet like Little Caterpillar whose own comprehension wasn’t strong, this move was simply amazing.

It could greatly increase the Proficiency Level of Soul Skills while sleeping!

He really didn’t know what state the little guy was in during its dreams… Practicing Soul Skills in dreams was no less effective than practicing in reality, maybe even better!

Moreover, it didn’t consume any Spiritual Power at all.

After waking up, it was still full of energy!

This was equivalent to having more than double the training time compared to other Soul Beasts!

In the future, when learning other powerful Soul Skills where Proficiency Level increases slowly, this move would definitely have amazing effects!

As for whether it could comprehend new Soul Skills, that was hard to say.

“I need to buy some food containing Spatial Power… food for Green Caterpillar… otherwise it will be hard to learn Spatial Soul Skills in the future.”

Wang Che searched the online market but found no food that contained Spatial Power and was related to Green Caterpillar.

No choice, Spatial attribute insects were too few.

So few they could be ignored.

Too few meant no market.

No market, who would specially develop this kind of food for Soul Pets?

Other foods containing Spatial Power were also very rare and not suitable for Green Caterpillar to eat.

Some stone crystals also contained slight Spatial Power. Green Caterpillar had the Gold-Devouring Art and could barely swallow these stones.

But besides Spatial Power, these stone crystals had no other nutritional components and couldn’t be used as a staple food.

Wang Che wanted to find staple food. Staple food contained various nutritional components and could help Soul Pets improve over time.

“If I can’t find food, I can only look for raw materials containing Spatial Power… I’ll just make the staple food myself.”

After searching online, Wang Che found that raw materials containing Spatial Power were ridiculously expensive.

For example:

Cloud Wood: Contains slight Spatial Power. Price: Thirty thousand per piece.

One piece was about one meter long.

Thirty thousand for a one-meter-long piece of wood.

And it only had slight Spatial Power.

It didn’t seem too expensive, but it couldn’t be used alone for refining; other materials needed to be added.

Soul Pet food, especially staple food.

Absolutely cannot contain only a certain kind of Life Energy.

There were also many complex nutritional components that would be absorbed by the Soul Pet.

Day by day, they subtly improved the Soul Pet’s physical condition.

After searching for about half a day, Wang Che gathered a pile of raw materials that contained a small amount of Spatial Power.

There was wood, crystal stones, crops…

The total cost was around two million.

According to Wang Che’s estimate, the food he refined would only last for three months.

The cost was very high.

It was important to note that a single Floating Sky Feather Leaf, which was a reward from the Qihang Cup, was worth about three to four hundred.

Eating it for a month would only cost a little over a hundred thousand.

Now, the food Wang Che was refining would cost six to seven hundred thousand per month.

That was six to seven times more expensive.

Spatial Spirit Beasts were strong and rare, but they were not easy to raise.

“Hmm, if I had known that the Empty God Dragon had such a powerful Soul Skill like Dream Space… I should have chosen the Fine Lotus Triangle Leaf back then… Eating that could slightly boost Spiritual Power…”

Wang Che shook his head. He was no prophet and had no idea the Empty God Dragon had a Soul Skill so suitable for the Green Caterpillar.

At that time, he chose the Floating Sky Feather Leaf to help the Green Caterpillar learn to fly as quickly as possible.

Sky Type Life Energy was called Wind Power in the Fallen Ancient Era, which was a type of elemental force.

If a Soul Pet could absorb this Life Energy, it would bring many benefits.

It could learn Sky Type Soul Skills and make the Soul Pet’s body lighter and more agile.

With practice, it could even float.

However, since it hadn’t been eating it for long, to achieve floating, Wang Che had to use Martial Soul Evolution to temporarily activate the faint bloodline and inheritance of the Empty God Dragon, allowing it to enter the first form of the True Dragon.

After spending two million on raw materials,

Wang Che spent half a day using the Little Caterpillar’s flames to refine three thousand Spatial Leaves infused with Spatial Power.

Besides containing Spatial Power, these leaves also had various nutritional components and could be used as staple food.

Now, this little guy’s appetite had increased, and eating ten leaves a day was far from enough.

Combining the Floating Sky Feather Leaf and the Spatial Leaf, eating ten of each per day was needed to satisfy its appetite.

In addition, Wang Che spent one million to buy a large quantity of special leaf materials and refined three flavors of leaf snacks: Spicy, Fragrant, and Original.

The Spicy leaves could enhance the Green Caterpillar’s flame intensity, making its Fire-Type Soul Skills more powerful.

The Fragrant leaves could boost the Green Caterpillar’s Plant Life Energy, increasing the power of its Energy Bomb.

The Original leaves could strengthen the Green Caterpillar’s Insect Type Soul Power, enhancing its original Life Energy.

Since these three snacks were refined without many additional ingredients,

their individual effects were strong but could only enhance specific Life Energies, while other nutritional content was low. Thus, they could only be eaten occasionally as treats.

They couldn’t be eaten every day or used as staple food.

With the new snacks, which tasted even better than the previous ones,

the Little Caterpillar was very satisfied and trained with great enthusiasm every day.

With the remaining two million, Wang Che spent one to two hundred thousand to buy a Mechanical Charge Soul Skill Engraving online.

This Soul Skill Engraving was a basic Mechanical-type Soul Skill called Mechanical Charge.

It was the most fundamental Soul Skill for Mechanical-type Spirit Pets, allowing them to accumulate Mechanical Energy in various environments to enhance the power of their next Soul Skill.

With the remaining one million or so, he bought some herbs and raw materials that contained Spiritual Power.

Wang Che planned to do some training himself.

“These raw materials are not only of average quality but also very expensive… Slightly better quality ones are impossible to buy…”

Wang Che was already eager to go to North River Forest Sea University and start his farming journey.

He was confident he could cultivate much better quality raw materials, such as Cloud Wood, on his own.

After spending all five million, Wang Che had about two million left from the Qihang Cup and decided to take it slow.

“The Spirit Stone inside the Mecha Fall Armor is almost depleted… Spirit Stones aren’t sold online… Even if Dino Tech had them, they wouldn’t sell them… With my two million, it’s hard to buy one.”

This was what Wang Che lacked the most at the moment.

Spirit Stones were rare even in the Soul Land.

Two days ago, in the upper levels of the Floating Forest, Wang Che found some resources related to cultivation.

But he didn’t come across any Spirit Stones.

Moreover, the Soul Sacrificial Trees in the Floating Forest were experiencing issues.

Now, going to the Floating Forest meant having to search on his own, and he couldn’t stay for long—it was too time-consuming.

Finding Spirit Stones was extremely difficult.

“The Mecha Fall Armor is too important to neglect,” Wang Che pondered.

As long as the Mecha Fall Armor was worn, it constantly applied pressure to the Green Caterpillar.

Over time, it subtly enhanced the Green Caterpillar’s physical strength.

This was crucial.

Without it, the Green Caterpillar’s current physical strength would drop significantly.

Without that extra level of strength, the Little Caterpillar wouldn’t be able to achieve the first form of the True Dragon and couldn’t bear even a trace of the Empty God Dragon’s bloodline.

“For now, let’s take it slow…”

Wang Che wasn’t in a hurry. The Spirit Stone could last a few more days.

If it ran out temporarily, the Little Caterpillar would become larger.

It would seem a bit less cute.

But just as Wang Che had everything prepared and planned to develop steadily while waiting for the school term to start,

a staff member from Dino Tech came to visit…
