Astral Pet Store - Chapter 970
Chapter 970: Invitation of Loulan
Su Ping immediately made a plan after seeing his income.
First of all, he was able to upgrade his store.
His store used to be level-4 earlier on. He had been unable to upgrade the store despite having enough energy, all because he was incapable of training Star State pets with high aptitude. However, his pets were already in the Star State, and their aptitudes were much higher. So, the prerequisites for the upgrade had been met.
Su Ping would soon be able to train Star State pets for his customers.
He was planning to have the Little Skeleton and the other pets reach the Star Lord State as soon as possible, all in order for his store to be quickly upgraded to level six!
Su Ping was really excited about the new store functions that the upgrades would bring.
Besides the upgrades, Su Ping also planned to take Joanna and Tang Ruyan to the Archean Divinity, as a special reward for their hard work. He was also interested in making the visit to the Archean Divinity himself. It was a top cultivation site, and the main world in the primordial times. He would probably make progress faster if he cultivated there.

“Did anything happen to my egg?” Su Ping suddenly remembered the egg he had brought back from the Heavenly Star Pavilion, so he went to the Chaos Spirit Pool room to check.
“Nothing as of yet.” The three women followed him. Joanna continued, “The requirements to hatch such an egg are too rigorous. You must have the ancient chaotic air.”
Su Ping observed the egg in the pool, and found that it hadn’t changed one bit. He nodded and said, “I’ll see if I can hatch it during the upgrade of the store.”
The chaotic air was already extinct. It was an ancient kind of energy that used to be found in nature. However, Su Ping knew that the Chaos Spirit Pool still had it, as every pet hatched was actually created with the original chaotic air of the universe. After all, not just any kind of energy was useful when making a living creature.
Joanna and Green Lady looked at each other silently. They had seen the Chaos Spirit Pool while they watched over the store; even though they didn’t have the clearance to use it, both of them had detected the ancient aura it contained. Such an aura was very likely the chaotic air mentioned in myths!
Su Ping displayed the store panel and inwardly gave the upgrade command.
“Do you confirm that you want to upgrade the store?” asked the system.
Su Ping nodded.
“The requirements for level 5 have been met. Upgrade is now possible. The upgrade will take 72 hours to complete. Business will be closed during the upgrade. Only the cultivation sites will remain open. Please confirm.”
“Confirm.”
Su Ping quickly noticed that a hundred million energy points that had been saved over the past three years were deducted.
The word “Upgrading” appeared on the panel, right behind the name of the store.
The upgrade will take three days. Not bad. I can go to the Archean Divinity, Su Ping thought.
He said to Joanna and Tang Ruyan, “Get ready. I will soon take you to the Archean Divinity as part of your reward.”
Joanna was slightly dazed. “Right now?”
“Yes.” Su Ping nodded.
He looked at Green Lady and said, “I’ll take you to the Realm of Deities after their trip.”
“Okay.” Green Lady gave a slight nod. She wasn’t in a rush, as she still doubted whether or not Su Ping could take her there. Everything would become clear until Joanna and Tang Ruyan returned.
“I’ll check out the Archean Divinity first and explore before I take you,” said Su Ping.
Tang Ruyan knew that Su Ping was doing it for her sake. She quickly said, “That’s unnecessary. Let’s go there together; I want to visit it even if it’s broken.”
She was no longer the ignorant young master of the Tang Family; she had heard a lot of secrets and hidden stories of the universe over the past three years. Her knowledge had also been expanded through her conversations with Joanna and Green Lady. She knew that the Archean Divinity used to be the main world in the primordial times, when the gods were among the strongest species in the universe!
Tang Ruyan believed that the trip to such a world would be worth it even if it was broken.
At the same time, she was quite curious about the place Joanna was always dreaming to go back to.
“Are you sure? You might not be able to get stronger there if that place is broken,” said Su Ping.
Tang Ruyan nodded firmly and replied, “Positive. I’ll consider it an adventure. If not for you, I would probably never have a chance to visit such a place in my entire life.”
“That’s true.” Su Ping smiled without any hint at modesty.
Tang Ruyan immediately felt like rolling her eyes. Why does this guy always have to burst the bubble every time? Can’t he behave like other guys?
Joanna remained silent.
However, she wore a troubled expression. She wasn’t as cold and indifferent as usual, as she was showing a faint nervousness.
Returning to the Archean Divinity was the dream of every god in the Demigod Burial!
Even the four Superior Gods were no exception!
Gods saw the Archean Divinity as not just their hometown, but also their origin. It contained the core power of the being. They couldn’t become stronger unless they returned!
Joanna wanted to go to the Archean Divinity, partly because she hoped to find a way for the gods in the Demigod Burial to return to their ancestral home, and partly because she planned to advance and become a Superior God in the Archean Divinity!
If she did, she would become a true immortal!
Someone knocked on the door, right when Su Ping was about to take them away.
The store was already closed and everything outside was blocked, but the knocking and other exterior sounds could still be heard. Su Ping heard Yun Mu’s voice, and was slightly surprised. He asked the two women to wait for a moment, and then opened the door.
“Mr. Su, someone is here for you,” Yun Mu said immediately after she saw Su Ping. She was slightly curious, as she couldn’t detect what was going on inside the store while being outside. The store seemed to be protected by a barrier, but she couldn’t detect it, which amazed her.
“Huh?” Su Ping was puzzled. Someone was here for him. To train pets?
Before Su Ping could ask further, a man flashed down from the high sky and landed outside Su Ping’s store. He wore an exquisitely made purple golden robe.
The stranger was a charming and intimidating middle-aged man. However, he was at the moment wearing a friendly smile as he said to Su Ping, “Greetings, Mr. Su. I am Loulan Feng. I heard that you left the Celestial Court. An elder of my family invited you to be a guest of my family three years ago, back in the Heavenly Star Pavilion.”
“The Loulan family?”
Su Ping was slightly dazed by this, but he immediately remembered the time when he took his pick of items in the Heavenly Star Pavilion. He said, “It’s you…”
He was indeed astonished; it hadn’t been long since he returned, yet the guy had already tracked him down. It was obvious that they had kept an eye on Rhea for a long time.
That gesture was indicative of the Loulan family’s sincerity and determination.
That being said…
“I’m sorry…” Su Ping gave a slight head shake; he didn’t want to get involved with those major families yet. Besides, he could accept their request at any time if he did need anything from them, given his capabilities.
“Don’t decline the offer just yet, Mr. Su,” Loulan Feng quickly shook his hand and said with a smile, “I’ve heard that you need some uncommon training resources. It just so happens that one of them is in our treasury and Elder Yan has yet to find it. Such an item can’t be taken out easily, or I would have taken the liberty to bring it.”
Su Ping was surprised by his reply. A training material for the Solar Bulwark?
Aside from that, the guy seemed to be implying a lot of other things.
He was aware that Elder Yan was looking for materials on Su Ping’s behalf, and what kind of materials he needed.
However, that wasn’t too strange. After all, the elder had forwarded the list as he searched for them; it would have been too inefficient if he did it in secret. Besides, it was unnecessary to keep the materials a secret. It would make no difference if others learned of them.
“Got it. I’ll consider your offer.” Su Ping nodded.
Loulan Feng was relieved after seeing the young man’s expression. He asked with a smile, “I wonder, how much time do you need, Mr. Su? I’ll just have the material sent to you first.”
“A few days,” replied Su Ping.
He planned to accept the offer after returning from the Archean Divinity.
It would be too rude and unreasonable to turn the man down a second time, since the latter had already offered him the material with such sincerity.
