Astral Pet Store

Chapter 1367 Anomaly of the Universe (1)

Su Ping placed the customers’ pets in nursing pens when he got back to the store. Then, he entered the lobby as he used to, only to see a lot of Ascendant cultivators; most were exhausted and even wounded.

Su Ping’s eyes glittered. The battle outside had been fierce; he had seen injured people in the store since a few days prior.

“Boss Su.”

“Mr. Su.”

All those cultivators looked refreshed upon seeing him appear. They greeted him with smiles.

Su Ping’s feats had already spread out in the Ascendant cultivator circle; even a fair amount of Star Lords knew of him too. The Celestials of every star zone warned their disciples and subordinates not to cross him.

All the rumors made Su Ping and his store all the more mysterious.

As a result, this attracted a lot of Ascendants, which made up for most of his recent clients, and the pets he trained were of Ascendant realm.

“Are the worms rampant again at the border?” Su Ping asked.

“There was an accident. Our Andrey Fortress was almost broken into; fortunately, reinforcements came in time and we averted the situation,” said one of the Ascendant warriors with an innocent smile.

Su Ping had heard a fair amount of news of the battlefront and was almost used to it. However, he did see too many injured people in recent days.

When a war burst out, the ones to realize first about the situation was probably at the infirmary, aside from the command center.

......

“Be safe.” There wasn’t really much he could say.

Then, he entered the incubation room and displayed the system panel.

The balance of his account had already reached an astronomical figure.

It had been three years since the alliance of the universe was formed. His store flourished since then, bursting with customers every day. During those three years, Su Ping had spent a hundred years in cultivation sites, and was very close to condensing his Dao Heart. The Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound had both evolved and reached the Celestial State.

If not for the alien among the worms, Su Ping could have crushed the entire universe with nothing but his pets.

Nothing had changed much on the surface in that three-year span. No one knew that Su Ping had grown to such an extent.

My balance is enough to upgrade the store to level 7. Once the upgrade is done, I’ll be able to train Celestial pets and charge more; my money-making efficiency will improve.

Considering the system’s ranking, I can probably accept God Emperor pets when the store reaches level 8. As for level 9, which is the maximum, maybe I can train Ancestral God pets?

Su Ping’s eyes glittered. The system had always been unimaginably powerful.

Based on his speculations, the system could very likely be as strong as the Golden Crow ancestor, if not even more terrifying.

He pondered as he looked at the energy points’ balance for a bit longer, then decided to upgrade.

The cultivation sites would be closed during the upgrade. In any case, him going to cultivation sites was no longer as effective. He was planning on making some gadgets to be used on the front lines. Although he couldn’t go there, he could offer some help to aid their cause.

“Do you confirm going through with the

upgrade?”

“Confirmed.”

“There are still customers in the store. The upgrade sequence will be initiated after all customers leave.”

The balance was deducted. Su Ping looked at the long progress tube that had just appeared, and realized it would require a hundred times more energy to upgrade his store to level 8.

Un

However, after the upgrade is complete, I’ll be able to train Celestial State pets, and my money making speed won’t be greatly impacted. I should be able to save enough in five years at most. If level 9 also requires a hundred times more energy than the previous level, I will only have to work hard for ten years…

Su Ping’s hand trembled with excitement.

He would find out how to resurrect the Little Skeleton once the store was upgraded to level 9.

The waiting wouldn’t be too long; he could afford waiting a dozen years.

It would have taken longer if he made money at the previous speed. However, his store had become popular during the war; most customers were either Ascendants and Star Lords, or members of rich families. Most would pick professional training, raising the store’s money-making efficiency by more than ten times.

Su Ping returned to the store, then asked Joanna and the others to keep receiving customers. He went to his master’s residence.

“Xiao Su.”

Shen Huang was not too surprised as he sensed his disciple’s aura. His reaction was much faster after returning to the Celestial State and mastering a new universe. Surprise was still there, yet he could calm himself down in one millionth of a millisecond.

Su Ping sat down on a couch and asked, “How is everything going outside?”

There were a few deep wrinkles on Shen Huang’s forehead, probably due to frowning for too long. He shook his head and said, “Worms have been running rampant as of late, as if stimulated by something. Many places at the border were affected, and there were a lot of casualties. Fortunately, reinforcements were sent in time. The situation is stable now.”

“What was the reason?”

Su Ping was curious.

Shen Huang looked at Su Ping. The former walked over and said, “I’ll show you something.”

He made a pointing motion, summoning a picture of energy particles; it was as clear as a picture. Obviously, it was a scene from outer space.

Weirdly enough, the space region being shown was extremely dark, in the shape of a vortex, like a black hole. However, even if it were, stars should still be visible at the border of its attraction range. The place was even darker than a black hole.
