Chapter 171: Another Mystic Realm! Those Damn Tomb Raiders!
Chapter 171: Another Mystic Realm! Those Damn Tomb Raiders!
"You know, you really do look like those ancient generals, all proud and ready to march into battle!"
Dong Muchun looked at Su Ping before her.
Riding on the back of 'War Wolf Lao Sha', Su Ping wore a luxurious set of soft armor made from the scales of an Iron Rock Giant Lizard.
He even had a mechanical weapon gun holstered at his waist.
The qualification to use mechanical weapons was granted by the Jianghai Beastmaster Association after Su Ping's previous encounter.
Behind Su Ping, there was a dense pack of wolves, numbering around thirty to forty.
If such a sight appeared on the streets or even in a bustling downtown area, it would likely cause unimaginable chaos.
Fortunately, they were in the suburbs, and at Su Ping's own pet base.
Su Ping gave a light hum, "What do you mean by 'look like'? I'm going on a campaign!"
Dong Muchun pouted, "I've never heard of ancient generals going to war, wielding divine weapons, leading thousands of soldiers, looting an empty mountain stronghold, and even bringing along higher-ranked bodyguard war pets!"
Of course, even without Su Ping saying it, Dong Muchun would have accompanied him after learning of his intentions. The Mystic Realm was simply too dangerous.
Su Ping didn't seem to catch the mockery in this woman's words, instead looking at her in surprise, "Do you consider yourself a bodyguard war pet? Alright then, call out to your master and let's see!"
Dong Muchun glared, and the energy cannon on her cloud-wrapped palm seemed ready to fire at Su Ping.
At that moment, Cloud Sakura's voice rang out:
"Master, Mr. Su Ping is your business partner, and his identity is special. Unless there's a life-threatening situation, don't take action against Mr. Su Ping!"
"Hahaha!" Su Ping laughed, "See, even Cloud Sakura disagrees."
Dong Muchun's face darkened, and Cloud Sakura covered her face with her mask before speaking, "Less chitchat, I'm on a tight schedule, I don't have time to waste on your door-crashing antics."
Su Ping looked at the woman with suspicion, wondering what she was up to. Was she acting like she had gunpowder in her?
However, seeing that the woman wasn't in the best mood, Su Ping didn't continue his teasing. Looking at the well-disciplined pack of wolves behind him, he asked like a rallying officer, "Are you all ready?"
"Woof!"
The howls of the wolves echoed at the entrance of the Wood Heart base.
Satisfied, Su Ping stored all the Forest Wolves into his Beast Taming Space and then grabbed the branch-like horn on Lao Sha's head, eagerly looking into the distance:
"Lao Sha, let's move out!"
"Woof!"
Lao Sha marched out of the Wood Heart base like a soldier standing at attention, ready to march.
Watching Su Ping's proud and triumphant demeanor, Dong Muchun couldn't help but chuckle and then shook her head helplessly.
Most likely, only this guy in front of her would be willing to accompany her on such a trivial matter.
It was probably just a suburban outing, yet she, a Monarch-ranked Beastmaster, had to come along as a bodyguard?
This guy really thought that she had nothing better to do than accompany him every day?
Of course, Dong Muchun's bad mood wasn't solely because of this.
It was a phone call she received that morning.
The call was from none other than her father.
In fact, the father and daughter had spoken a few times before.
However, Dong Muchun's attitude during those conversations had been rather indifferent.
After all, Dong Muchun had been relatively quiet during this period.
But when she learned that the Da Chuan Company, a competitor of the Dong Family's real estate business, had been acquired by the Pingyun Company, a company she and Su Ping had collaborated with, at an unimaginable low price, the situation became different.
This news had undoubtedly reached the Dong Family.
For outsiders, understanding the details of this matter would be extremely difficult, but for the Dong Family, it was a simple task.
They knew that a formidable figure had arrived in Linzhou that night.
Therefore, in the past few days, her father had been calling her more frequently, making Dong Muchun sense something was amiss.
This morning, he even directly asked a question he had never dared to test before.
Her father, the venerable Mirror Saint and patriarch of the Dong Family, wanted to meet Su Ping, a junior, through his daughter's connections.
What this represented was self-evident.
Dong Muchun's gaze turned indifferent.
Su Ping was 'hers' because he was her best opportunity to break free from the Dong Family label.
Noble families were the best platforms and backgrounds, but in this era, they were also a form of shackle.
This was the best opportunity.
She wouldn't let anyone think that Su Ping's association with the Dong Family was the reason for their relationship.
So Dong Muchun almost didn't think twice before bluntly rejecting her father's proposal.
However, she couldn't help but wonder about this young man's thoughts.
Glancing at the proud and imposing Su Ping riding Lao Sha across the road, she saw him heading north towards the wasteland beyond the road.
At this thought, Dong Muchun's lips curled into a smile, and she hurried to catch up.
Su Ping didn't think of these things.
At this moment, riding on Lao Sha's back, he was still using his phone to check the messages from the secret realm owner.
The title of 'Niu Ba, the Pig King of Hanlin' was actually quite amusing.
But this person was quite famous.
While not as renowned as Yu Liangqing, the Sword King of Fengdu, who could achieve cross-rank kills during the Imperial Era, Niu Ba's feat of defeating a Saint-level opponent with a huge level gap was still impressive.
However, Niu Ba, the Pig King, also had a notable reputation.
Su Ping searched online and learned that he was initially just a butcher who raised and slaughtered pig-like beasts.
Later, Niu Ba independently developed a special evolution for the pig-like beasts: the Pine Oil Wild Boar.
This special Wood-type pet beast, which was previously an ordinary-grade pet with mediocre meat quality, transformed into a pet with extremely powerful combat abilities and the potential to reach the Overlord rank.
It wasn't a leap to the heavens, but it was close.
During the ancient Liang Dynasty, the beastmaster hierarchy was also strict. For someone to rise from a common pig farmer and butcher to become a king-ranked beastmaster during that era was no easy feat.
Su Ping admired Niu Ba's perseverance.
He always admired those who rose from humble beginnings through hard work.
He originally thought he belonged to this category, even though he had an additional advantage of being a cheat.
However, it seemed like fate didn't give him that chance, leaving him with some regret.
Rising from humble beginnings seemed out of reach.
He could only try to stand on the shoulders of giants and see how high he could reach.
So, when he arrived at Niu Ba's historical legacy, Su Ping still had a sense of respect.
Although this place had been thoroughly searched.
Entering the wasteland, Su Ping waved his hand, and a pack of wolves appeared.
Countless forest wolves scattered in all directions.
They began searching the area.
Seizing the opportunity, Dong Muchun approached Su Ping and asked, "Su Ping, do you know about the Dong family? What's your opinion of them?"
Why is this woman asking this?
Su Ping thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know much, but I don't like them."
Dong Muchun's eyebrows rose. "Why?"
"Because of how they treat you. It's only natural that you wouldn't like them," Su Ping replied matter-of-factly.
A family that values only interests and has little regard for familial bonds is common among the aristocratic clans, but it's still quite uninteresting.
Such families can pass down their legacy through the ages, making it the best model for family growth.
But Su Ping still didn't like them.
However, it was clear that Dong Muchun misunderstood.
She blinked, but it was evident that she was hiding her true thoughts, as she was not one to show her feelings openly.
Su Ping glanced at her, wondering how her expression had changed so quickly. Just a moment ago, she looked like someone owed her money, and now she had this mischievous smile.
Women are indeed more complex than any pet beast.
Thankfully, he didn't have to ponder this for long.
In a short while, not far away, a howl echoed through the air.
Su Ping's attention was immediately piqued.

Riding on Lao Sha and accompanied by the pack of wolves, they arrived at their destination.
Indeed, it was a forest.
The dense forest, though lacking plant-type pet beasts, still had an eerie atmosphere.
In a tree branch within the forest, Su Ping spotted the familiar secret realm entrance.
The space vortex continued to rotate slowly.
The ripples in the surrounding space created a strange sense of distortion in the area.
"This is it! Thirteen, well done!"
Su Ping tossed a blueberry tree fruit, a favorite of the wolf that had found the secret realm, and turned his gaze towards the space vortex. After all the wolves had gathered, he didn't hesitate and stepped into it.
And then...
Although he had mentally prepared himself, when he entered the secret realm with high expectations, he found it completely ravaged, as if gnawed by something, which left Su Ping feeling greatly disappointed.
This is a vast expanse of land.
In addition to the land, Su Ping can also see that within this secret realm, there are some remnants of previous plant cultivation.
However, there isn't much energy left in this secret realm.
Even if there is still some, it is not enough to revive this realm.
Unfazed, Su Ping circled around and sighed.
This time, Dong Muchun, who was by his side, comforted him:
"That's normal. I know a bit about the Heavenward Inspectorate. This profession has existed since ancient times.
Now, during the founding of the Dragon Kingdom, they changed its name. Do you know what these guys were called in the Liang Dynasty and before?"
"What?"
Su Ping asked while strolling with his army of Spirit Wolves.
"Officially, they are called Mojin School Lieutenants, and the ones who manage these lieutenants are the Faqiu Zhonglangjiang.
They explore secret realms, and unless it's a special realm with rules left by its owner, they usually leave nothing behind."
Su Ping was speechless.
Damn, now that I think about it, it does seem plausible? When a powerful Beastmaster dies, the secret realm they leave behind is indeed similar to some ancient tomb remains.
And what's left in this secret realm are the treasures of these Beastmasters before their death.
It's quite fitting that these guys are called Mojin School Lieutenants.
So, the common folk are just pure tomb raiders? The Dragon Kingdom has indeed changed things thoroughly. Su Ping wondered about the connection between these secret realm inspectors and the department that was originally meant for stargazing.
It seems like the original name wasn't very auspicious? He still wanted to see if the Heavenward Inspectorate guys could leave something behind for him to pick up.
Now, it seems like it's better not to test his luck with their work.
Despite this, he still felt a bit indignant! Damn tomb raiders!
Su Ping calmed down and decided to focus on his guaranteed earnings.
So, with a thought, he ignored the bewildered Dong Muchun.
He once again immersed his consciousness into his Beast Taming Space.
Last time, Su Ping had used a clever method, reaching into the collapsing Sword King's secret realm to absorb its essence.
The effect of the absorption was unknown,
but now, Su Ping was truly standing within the secret realm, ready to activate his ability.
As for Dong Muchun beside him,
when he had used this ability before, Su Ping had indeed needed to avoid people slightly.
But now, he didn't need to.
Especially not with Dong Muchun.
Space Absorption wasn't the Universal Codex or an external cheat; it was his own honest-to-goodness awakened space ability. What's there to be afraid of?
Who dares to challenge him? Come and get beaten by Lord Leng!
A genius and a second-generation heir can do whatever they want.
The Spirit Tentacle slowly extended into the void,
as if merging with the deepest part of the secret realm.
Su Ping's Beast Taming Space slowly connected with the origin of the 'Forest-Shaking Pig King' secret realm.
Then, he quickly absorbed the nutrients.
Dong Muchun watched Su Ping's actions, and she was also curious about what he was doing.
After all, these scavenged secret realms were not only useless, but in some special locations, like within a city, they could be quite troublesome.
Now, Su Ping was actively seeking out this stuff? What was he up to? Dong Muchun observed Su Ping, and his expression began to change.
Su Ping first showed a smile.
Dong Muchun pursed her lips, thinking it was normal.
Then Su Ping slightly opened his mouth,
and Dong Muchun frowned slightly, sensing something amiss.
As she watched Su Ping's expression of enjoyment,
Dong Muchun began to have doubts.
Just at that moment, suddenly,
the secret realm space rippled and trembled.
Finally, in Dong Muchun's shocked gaze,
the entire secret realm collapsed.
Dong Muchun stared in disbelief at the young man who was enjoying himself.
What the hell?
The Heavenward Inspectorate, these official tomb raiders, no, Mojin School Lieutenants,
they only scavenge the treasures within.
You just blew up the 'tomb' itself?
Don't wait for the next chapter, brothers. It's not finished yet. There might be more, but I don't know if it'll be later today or tomorrow. I tried working out at the gym after recovering from the flu, and almost died on the elliptical. Now, my brain is oxygen-deprived (sugar-deprived), and I haven't been able to write a single word. I'll never be so reckless again!
