Qing Wu arrived at the breeding house in the evening. The setting sun cast long shadows, a blood red. The sky quickly darkened, and a hazy yellow twilight enveloped the fruit trees.
The evening breeze gently carried the fresh scent of herbs and flowers, making one feel refreshed and at ease. Under the dim sky, a faint yellow color, mixed with the smell of earth and flowers, wafted through the air. Looking out at the endless fruit forest, the lights of the breeding house were already on.
Looking at the twinkling yellow lights, and the busy spirits inside, Qing Wu's heart felt as if it had been touched by something, shaking off the dust on his heart. At this moment, Qing Wu felt like a happy person because a group of spirits who supported him were waiting for him.
"I'm back," Qing Wu pushed open the door and said.
Gardevoir was preparing dinner at this time. Seeing Qing Wu return, all the spirits gathered around him, forming a circle.
"Everyone needs to pay attention. This time at the power plant, I fully realized that my buying power is insufficient. So, for the next half month, everyone must work hard to hone their own foundation!" Qing Wu looked around at the spirits and said with a serious expression. Many small spirits were intimidated by Qing Wu's expression, but more small spirits nodded.
"Gardevoir, I'm leaving the breeding house to you to manage. I basically won't have time to manage the breeding house's affairs in the future. The dividends will also be managed by you. We need to acquire nearby breeding houses."
"We need to build our breeding house like a solid fortress, preventing intrusion from hunters. Our breeding house should not be open for business during my absence; instead, we should focus on cultivating young spirits."
"Accumulate grain widely, proclaim yourself king slowly, build high walls. We must only be cautious to secure a place in an ever-changing future." Qing Wu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Spirit cultivation was not something that happened overnight. Spirits needed time to cultivate. In his previous life, Qing Wu spent five full years to cultivate a Celestial King-level spirit. But in this life, Qing Wu was confident he could enter the Celestial King realm faster than in his previous life.
This time, Qing Wu's plan for going to the Tower of Burial was to use Darkrai.
The Tower of Burial was extremely dangerous. Not only was there Rayquaza, but there were also countless extremely high-level wild spirits. A hundred thousand Metagross wouldn't feel confident going to the Tower of Burial. Therefore, Qing Wu needed a spirit master who could take the spirits of the Tower of Burial.
Snorlax must be brought along. When Snorlax's affection reaches its maximum, it will evolve into a Snorlax, the king of speed.
Ditto, due to its convenience, Qing Wu also wanted to bring along. Furthermore, Qing Wu would let Ditto record five transformations: Electabuzz, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Voltorb, and Salamence. When encountering enemy spirits of different attributes, Ditto could transform into a spirit of a corresponding attribute.
The three-colored mermaids and Groudon were almost on the verge of evolution. These two spirits needed to be kept on hand at all times. Qing Wu needed to observe the evolution process of the three-colored mermaids and Groudon and provide them with advanced evolution potions.
Qing Wu wouldn't bring his Dragonite this time. Qing Wu's Dragonite was still the only one in the spirit world. Once Dragonite participated in an operation, not long after, Qing Wu would publish a paper on Dragonite's evolution, which would definitely cause a sensation.
Ultimately, the spirits Qing Wu planned to bring this time were Snorlax, Ditto, the three-colored mermaids, Groudon, Milotic, and Electabuzz.
Qing Wu's consideration this time was that Milotic could create a grassy field to help restore stamina. Electabuzz, having just been tamed, was still quite clingy.
The unselected small spirits were being watched by the Marauding Captain, which Qing Wu was quite relieved about.
Gardevoir's spirit egg occasionally trembled, seeming to have entered the incubation stage.
At this point, Latios had already gained consciousness and could use psychic abilities to sense the external environment. This time, the Tower of Burial incident was only to compensate for a regret in Qing Wu's heart, but compensating for regret did not mean Qing Wu would sacrifice himself.
Qing Wu intended to hide behind the scenes and secretly interfere with the entire process. If he could save Dialga and Palkia, Qing Wu would use his greatest power. If he didn't have any certainty, Qing Wu would also withdraw in time; a "Mother Teresa" complex was not acceptable in the spirit world. Qing Wu still had his family at the breeding house waiting for him to return.
"Jirachi, if I can save your sister Dialga and Palkia this time, then we'll be even."
"If I can't do it, I can only help you secure your position as the high priest of the Meteorites." Qing Wu secretly promised.
Qing Wu's biggest trump card in this operation was Darkrai. This pitiful guy promised to help Qing Wu three times, and after that, they would be even. Qing Wu didn't feel that his personal charm was enough to keep Darkrai.
If their relationship was long-lasting, then they would see each other every day. If Darkrai had no intention of staying, he would naturally leave after repaying the favor. If Darkrai was willing to stay, Qing Wu would also welcome him with open arms.
Qing Wu's remaining spirits, Torchic, and Water Fish, were already on the verge of evolving. Qing Wu left them two advanced spirit potions.
At the green stage, Qing Wu wanted to advance to blue, which was extremely difficult. Moreover, the price of materials for upgrading blue quality would be hundreds of times more expensive than for upgrading green quality. It was a very significant difference.
The three dragonlings, Dratini, Bagon, and Deino, grew very rapidly. With the energy blocks made from dragon blood, they had an unlimited supply. These three little guys had already reached level 20. Dratini also mastered the skill of flying freely in the sky, and Deino also carried a booster just like Bagon, allowing them to fly freely with Bagon.
Now they were very proficient in using Dragon-type moves, using them with flair under the strict guidance of the Marauding Captain. Qing Wu truly felt that inviting the Marauding Captain to the breeding house was his greatest fortune, saving him a lot of effort in spirit training.
Milotic and Metagross also made rapid progress under Electabuzz's training. Milotic and Metagross sparred against each other every day, and after training, they also condensed Water Blades, which they could wield freely. They were also on the verge of evolution.
Leavanny had a somewhat quiet personality and couldn't play with the three dragonlings, but its talent for Dragon-type moves was even more terrifying than the three dragonlings.
Leavanny was the most diligent in training every day. Not only did it diligently practice Dragon-type moves, but Flying-type moves were also not neglected. Qing Wu greatly admired Leavanny's spirit of diligent training. Of course, Qing Wu was not someone who liked internal strife.
He wouldn't show too much praise for Leavanny just because Leavanny was diligent. As long as Qing Wu's spirits completed enough training each day, Qing Wu wouldn't care what the spirits were doing.
Otherwise, this would create vicious competition, extending the spirits' training time, not only failing to improve efficiency but also causing their happiness index to plummet.
Train during play, play during training. This was Qing Wu's way of guiding spirits. Otherwise, training during play and playing during training would not only result in no happiness index but also a chaotic life.
Salamence and Tyranitar, on the other hand, learned from each other in the valley. Salamence learned Tyranitar's skills, and Tyranitar learned to flexibly use Salamence's counter-skills.
As for Shiny Metagross and Shiny Latios, Qing Wu entrusted Gardevoir, who was most proficient in Psychic-type abilities, to train them. They would be placed in the Psychic holy land of the Scale Puppets.
Qing Wu also planned to upgrade the Scale Puppets to Psychic-type golems after he returned from the Tower of Burial, making them evolve into Psyling Golems.
Ampharos had already completed its evolution. After evolving into Voltorb, they guarded every corner of the breeding house, forming a patrol team with Marauding Captain and Houndoom. Once there was a situation, Voltorb would make a huge sound, and then Marauding Captain and Houndoom would come running.
Starmie, to comprehend the mystery of the Waterdrop of Life, completely became the team doctor in the breeding house. Especially when some spirits and Snorlax were beaten black and blue in battle, Starmie would use the Waterdrop of Life to heal the spirits' injuries.
Snorlax, after the battle, finally willingly produced milk. Qing Wu also drank Snorlax's milk as he wished. The taste was several times more fragrant than ordinary Snorlax milk.
Vespiquen had completely settled in the fruit forest. She could get along with the other spirits in the breeding house, and Vespiquen often brewed good royal jelly to supply to the spirits in the breeding house as a dessert after meals. Charmander became Another Tyrant of the breeding house, running around with Kartana, Geodude, and Voltorb.
The entire breeding house was managed in an orderly manner by Gardevoir, and Qing Wu also conducted spirit training according to the characteristics of the spirits.
