Ten Thousand Beasts Pay Homage, Laying Out Star Dou

With a thunderous roar from Da Ming, all the beasts lowered their heads as though paying homage to a king. The scene was utterly breathtaking!

"This human is called Jerry. From now on, no Soul Beast is allowed to harm him. Sister Xiao Wu brought him here because he has come for the development of us Soul Beasts. He has developed a method to rapidly enhance Plant Type Soul Beasts. This time, he plans to cultivate a large batch of Healing Type Soul Beasts, Detoxification Type Soul Beasts, and Soul Power Recovery Plant Type Soul Beasts. Now, he needs everyone's help!" Da Ming said.

The Soul Beasts below became excited as soon as they heard about Healing Type Soul Beasts. After all, Healing Type Soul Beasts were scarce in the forest and were usually guarded by many other Soul Beasts. For example, the Emerald Swan clan lived right beside the Core Region because of their powerful healing abilities. The Jungle Divine Deer, Light Divine Tiger, Holy Light Butterfly, and others mostly lived in the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast region as well. In the Thousand Year Region and Hundred Year Region, Soul Beasts were too unintelligent and mostly acted on beastly instinct, so practically no Soul Beasts managed those areas. They followed the law of the jungle, where only the fittest survived. Only after reaching ten thousand years and gaining intelligence would they develop a sense of territory and move toward the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast region!

All the Soul Beasts that came this time were Animal Type Soul Beasts. Plant Type Soul Beasts disliked moving very much. Even though many Plant Type Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old could already move, they were simply too lazy to do so!

Then, under Da Ming's orders, they went to gather medicinal herbs. Da Ming specifically reminded them to dig up the roots as well. They were not to dig up any that had already become Soul Beasts; they only needed to bring back those that had yet to become Soul Beasts! He also told the Soul Beasts to collect all the leftover bones after eating their prey instead of tossing them wherever they happened to eat, as they had in the past. Those bones would be useful in the future!

All the beasts moved at once, and before long, they had gathered a huge quantity of medicinal herbs, piling them into a small mountain! Jerry's head started to hurt just looking at it. With only him and Xiao Wu, how long would it take to plant all this? Then he suddenly thought of Humanoid Soul Beasts and had Er Ming go look for some. After all, Er Ming was also a Humanoid Soul Beast. If he were not so huge and inconvenient for planting, Jerry would have wanted him working in the fields too. Before long, Er Ming brought back one hundred and thirty small Humanoid Soul Beasts, all Thousand Year Soul Beasts. Once Soul Beasts reached ten thousand years, they underwent major transformations, the first of which was an increase in Body Type! That was why all the ones he found were Thousand Year Soul Beasts. The one hundred and thirty were all Apes, including Deep Forest Ancient Apes, Great Strength Divine Apes, Adamantine Iron Apes, and White Fur Water Apes!

This time, Jerry had Thousand Year and Ten Thousand Year bones to use as fertilizer, so he prepared to experiment with cultivating Thousand Year Plant Type Soul Beasts. Previously, he had used Ten Year Soul Beast Fertilizer, but once they reached 999 years, he could no longer cultivate them any further. Now that he had Da Ming and Er Ming, he learned from them that Ten Year and Hundred Year Soul Beasts only needed to absorb Soul Power. Upon reaching a thousand years, however, their Soul Power needed to transform and become more condensed. This transformation required dozens of times the total Soul Power they had accumulated before. But Soul Beasts devoured each other, so devouring one Thousand Year Soul Beast or dozens of Soul Beasts nearing a thousand years would be enough. The Soul Power in Jerry's previous Ten Year Soul Beast Fertilizer had been far too little, nowhere near enough to meet the requirements for advancement. As for Thousand Year Soul Beasts breaking through to ten thousand years, that was much more difficult. First, it depended on the Soul Beast's bloodline potential; second, it required a special opportunity. This breakthrough was a transformation of the soul, greatly increasing a Soul Beast's intelligence. Some could even speak as soon as they transformed!

After understanding this, Jerry got to work. He made tree trunks into sticks roughly five meters long to use as measuring rods for the Apes. To cultivate Thousand Year Plant Type Soul Beasts, they could not be planted too close together! Jerry first taught the Apes how to crush the bones. The Deep Forest Ancient Apes and White Fur Water Apes were slightly weaker, so crushing Thousand Year bones was somewhat strenuous for them. Jerry told them to use tools, smashing the bones with sticks or rocks. The Great Strength Divine Apes and Adamantine Iron Apes were much more impressive and simply used their fists! At that point, Er Ming could no longer stand watching. He ran over and, with a few kicks and punches, crushed an entire pile of bones into powder! Then he smugly beat his chest. Jerry thought to himself, You're so strong, yet you didn't come earlier! You had to wait until I'd spent so long teaching them before showing up.

Next came digging pits, burying bone powder, and planting. One plant every five meters. With the help of the one hundred and thirty Apes, they quickly finished planting everything. Jerry had originally wanted to plant closer to the Lake of Life to make watering easier, but Da Ming and Er Ming refused because that was where they lived. So they could only plant farther away. Watering was no problem at all. Once the White Fur Water Apes used their skills, a downpour fell from the sky and the job was easily done. If there were an award for outstanding employees, Jerry would definitely give every single Ape one. They truly were exemplary workers!

Then Jerry instructed them to settle down nearby—where they lived was their own problem. From then on, the White Fur Water Apes would be responsible for watering, while the others would continue planting!
