Chapter 466: To Yunnan! A Simple and Unpretentious Greeting

Chapter 466: To Yunnan! A Simple and Unpretentious Greeting

"Miss Dong, the Golden Guild has finally managed to get you to join us! Previously, Tianyun Group had approached you so many times, but you politely declined. After learning that you were no longer in charge of Tianyun, I, along with several council members and Vice President Shen, felt it was a pity for someone with your business talent to be buried.

It's a shame that such talent was overlooked, but fortunately, it was due to our lack of foresight. Compared to Tianyun, which is limited to just Jianghai Province, Pingyun has even greater potential and the future value of its various products is truly unimaginable!"

In the top-level office of Pingyun Corporation in Linzhou City, a middle-aged man with a goatee smiled and shook hands with Dong Muchun before speaking.

Dong Muchun also smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that you, Mr. Yan, had already been a member of the Golden Guild and even held the position of council member. No wonder Fire Monarch Corporation has been thriving these past years, even expanding its channels outside the province and beyond Dragon Nation."

The middle-aged man with the goatee laughed heartily, "That's nothing! The Guild provides immense support to its members. Once we sign the contract, Miss Dong, representing Pingyun, will officially join the Golden Guild. As a welcome gift, I will immediately offer twenty billion in cash flow.

As for me, I was fortunate to have an early connection with Vice President Shen, which allowed me to join the Guild earlier.

However, given Tianyun's potential and scale, it won't be long before a council position is needed, and it's not impossible for Miss Dong to become the second Vice President!"

The middle-aged man with the goatee smiled warmly as he spoke, resembling a benevolent and kind-hearted mouse.

However, he quickly continued with a sudden question, "Before, some Guild members who interacted with Miss Dong didn't understand certain matters. Now that I'm here representing the Guild to meet with Miss Dong, I do have some questions I'd like to ask. May I?"

"Please, Mr. Yan, feel free to ask," Dong Muchun replied with a perfectly refined face, showing no signs of disturbance. Her smile remained constant, just as it always had.

The middle-aged man with the goatee hesitated slightly before speaking, "We are aware of Pingyun's situation and background, but I wonder if you have informed that person about your decision. Of course, I'm not questioning your control over Pingyun, Miss Dong. After all, I need to give the Guild an explanation, right?"

Dong Muchun smiled, "In fact, this matter has already been agreed upon by Su Ping."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, "Oh? Does Su Ping know about the Guild? Did he agree to this?"

Dong Muchun chuckled, "I asked him about this matter. When he heard that joining the Guild would provide a large amount of cash flow for development, he immediately agreed without saying much. However..."

She paused slightly, looking at the middle-aged man, "Mr. Yan, we are somewhat acquainted. I won't lie to you. In truth, Pingyun's current profits do not require additional cash flow for development. Our production capacity and supply chain are steadily improving.

In fact, this twenty billion in cash flow, as a welcome gift from the Guild, will be used by Su Ping in his cultivation base. I'm not sure if this complies with the Guild's rules."

The man laughed heartily, "Haha, Miss Dong, what's the problem? So, Su Ping needs money? No wonder. Rest assured, this twenty billion in cash flow is the Guild's welcome gift. How it is used is entirely up to you and Su Ping as directors!"

At this point, the chairman, Mr. Yan, paused to think, "Su Ping is the pride of Jianghai and the genius I've always admired. As a local Jianghai enterprise, Fire Monarch Corporation should support Su Ping's cultivation business...

How about this? When I return to the Guild, I'll encourage them to provide several billion more in cash flow if possible, as a way to support Su Ping's business. What do you think, Miss Dong?"

Dong Muchun felt a bit embarrassed, "I can't accept this. My joining the Guild is just a title and a signature. It's not right for the Guild to do so much for us. I feel a bit guilty."

Mr. Yan narrowed his eyes, understanding Dong Muchun's meaning. He said directly, "For others, it wouldn't be possible, but for you and Su Ping, I can guarantee that even the president would not refuse.

As for the Guild, if other companies want to join, they would have to engage in some cross-shareholding and stock swaps. But for you, we understand that Pingyun is Su Ping's lifeblood. We wouldn't do that. We just want to show our support and unite the strength of Dragon Nation's domestic enterprises.

Haha, Miss Dong, I'm sure you understand. Some things are better left unsaid. In this environment, we must stick together to protect ourselves!"

Dong Muchun nodded in agreement, "Now I'm relieved. But Mr. Yan, please don't be reserved. If the Guild needs anything from me or Pingyun, just say it. Although Su Ping may not have much time, I'm willing to lend a helping hand.

If there are no further questions, we can proceed with the contract signing!"

Mr. Yan nodded and took out a pre-prepared contract from his spatial storage, "Miss Dong, please excuse me. This is a contract created by the special item 'Judgment Document'. If the terms of the contract are violated, there will be a certain backlash in spiritual power. However, the contract itself is not restrictive; it's just a procedural formality.

As he spoke, Dong Muchun did not take it lightly, but carefully examined the contract's contents.

Indeed, the content did not explicitly impose any restrictions.

If anything, there was only one clause.

After joining, within three months to two years, one must travel to Eagle Nation or other human Beastmaster countries for business inspections.

Dong Muchun raised her eyebrows and pointed to this clause:

"Mr. Yan, what does this mean?"

The middle-aged man glanced at it and smiled:

"It's exactly as it says. Our Golden Heart is to help us Dragon Nation people, and our Dragon Nation's enterprises go global. It's also for the prosperity of our Dragon Nation's commerce, so we naturally can't just limit ourselves to within Dragon Nation.

To be honest, not only have I conducted business inspections in various Beastmaster countries, but I've even used some means to enter the human-restricted areas of Beast Empires.

I've even had commercial trade dealings with some Beast Empire's Holy Kings! And in terms of commercial trade, the most developed free market is naturally Eagle Nation.

This isn't about boosting others' morale and diminishing my own prestige, Miss Dong. You don't know that in Eagle Nation, even the large corporations..."

This guy shook his head, as if he couldn't wait to leap across the endless sea and stay in that land across the ocean, speaking with great righteousness.

Dong Muchun nodded in understanding:

"Good. If there's a chance later, I also really want to see if Pingyun's industry can expand overseas."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Yan's eyes lit up:

"With Pingyun's product quality, not only in Dragon Nation, but even dumping it worldwide is only natural!"

Dong Muchun smiled, then lightly touched the ring on her finger. She signed the contract made with the Judgment Document, which was connected through spiritual power, with her own hand.

After continuing their conversation for a while longer, the two parted ways and left Pingyun Company separately.

Dong Muchun headed straight for the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Chairman Yan, on the other hand, sat in the car returning to the company and took out his phone. He first dialed a number named 'Old Shen':

"Hello, Old Shen."

"Old Yan? How's it going? Did Dong Muchun really agree?"

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, she's signed the contract. And, to be honest, she didn't really have any reason not to sign, right?" Chairman Yan helplessly opened his mouth:

"Old Shen, when the other members joined, they didn't have such good benefits!"

The voice on the phone laughed:

"That's the President's intention. Moreover, you also understand that we're not focusing on Dong Muchun, but rather Pingyun Company and Su Ping!

With Su Ping's company joining, the Golden Heart might gradually move from behind the scenes to the forefront!

After all, in the eyes of Dragon Nation's upper echelons, he's a genuine hot commodity! Haha, by the way, has there been any unusual activity?"

"No, Dong Muchun didn't lie, and even if there was, I didn't sense any malice!" Chairman Yan opened his mouth.

"That's good, so we can feel slightly more at ease."

"Right." Chairman Yan thought of his previous question and said:

"Old Shen, Dong Muchun just said that she agreed to join the Golden Heart because of Su Ping's pet beast breeding base. It seems they're a bit short on funds, so they accepted the Golden Heart. I think we should..."

"Hmm?" Old Shen on the other end of the phone also paused: "Oh, is that so? Haha, great! We've been looking for a way to contact this genius beastmaster, but we didn't get a chance to approach him during the Professional Assessment Competition. Now he's coming to us?

Isn't it just money? Our Golden Heart lacks nothing more than money! The more we interact with this guy, the better! But also remember to be careful and avoid unnecessary deep interactions, understand?"

"Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Chairman Yan exhaled and thought for a moment. He then opened his phone's contacts and searched for a name, 'Xu Li':

"Old Xu? What's up?"

"What else could I be doing? Haha, fishing!"

"You old guy, you really know how to enjoy life!" Chairman Yan's eyes glinted with interest.

"No mistake, didn't I tell you? This place is truly amazing! Su Beastmaster is also a wonderful person. This Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits is quite interesting; I don't even want to go home. Unfortunately, Su Beastmaster bought all the land deeds around here, otherwise I'd want to settle down here.

Haha, I say, Old Yan, you shouldn't always be so busy with company matters. People should occasionally enjoy life, right?"

Xu Li's carefree laughter came through, causing Chairman Yan to disdainfully curl his lips. However, his words were extremely cordial:

"Okay, okay, I don't have your kind of luck. I have too many things to deal with every day. Hey, by the way, are you fishing at the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits every day? Is the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits having some financial difficulties?"

The voice on the other end, Xu Li, was clearly taken aback, but he quickly spoke:

"How do you know, Old Yan? Old Guan has been worrying about this recently. When we were fishing together, Old Guan complained to me that Su Beastmaster wants to do everything perfectly.

He did this logistics work too hard."

"Haha, Manager Guan is so blessed but unaware of it. Many people want this opportunity, but they don't have the chance."

"That's true, but aside from that, being a student of Su Peiyi is already a stroke of luck..."

"Alright, you're fishing for compliments. I have some matters to attend to..."

The call ended, and Chairman Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded in satisfaction and then made a call to the finance department:

"Transfer the 2 billion cash flow that was previously deposited into Pingyun Corporation's account..."

...

Su Ping gazed out the window, where white clouds swiftly traversed the sky outside the Ascending Cloud.

Dong Muyun and Mad Saint's situation was something he had been closely monitoring, but he had never expected that on this early morning, the 2 billion would actually arrive.

This undoubtedly eliminated the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits' financial crisis and all his worries.

Furthermore, after using the Wood Root to cultivate Sang Sheng's Life Ancient Tree, Sang Sheng kept his word. In addition to the cash, Su Ping waved his hand and provided half of the high-level resources listed on the invoice.

The Companion Beast profession was indeed like this. Although it was exhilarating, earning money wasn't difficult either?

Moreover, Su Ping took out another Wood Root and, in Sang Sheng's astonished gaze, presented the Holy Spirit-level Companion Beast, Yin Muchan Sang, which he had seen for the first time.

When the peculiar Yin Muchan Sang absorbed the Wood Root and completed its cultivation, it naturally wouldn't disappoint him.

Although Su Ping was in a hurry to go to Yuntian-Tibet, he had slightly revealed the strength of the Wood Root, but regardless, these two individuals were people he could trust.

Without the financial crisis of the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits as a lingering concern, Su Ping's thoughts turned to another matter.

His restless spirit gradually calmed down under this soothing influence.

The breakthrough to Monarch Fifth Rank was not significantly related to his recent three-day fishing and two-day meditating schedule.

The primary reason lay within his Beastmaster space.

With this in mind, Su Ping projected his consciousness into the Beastmaster space.

This sudden trip to Yuntian-Tibet disrupted his original rhythm.

Fortunately, the cultivation of the Wood Root during this trip genuinely surprised him.

Xiao Qing's body remained in the very center of the Beastmaster space.

At this moment, the little guy's realm was the highest among all Su Ping's Companion Beasts.

It even surpassed Su Ping's realm, reaching the Imperial Sixth Rank!

Indeed, it was because of Xiao Qing's breakthrough that Su Ping also broke through the realm he had compressed during his recent meditation.

Xiao Qing's breakthrough was a direct leap from Imperial Fourth Rank to Imperial Sixth Rank.

The primary reason for this was because of the current situation.

The body of Xiao Qing, enveloped by the Bichuan Sacred Body, was several times more vigorous than before! Indeed, it was because Su Ping had been using the Bichuan Sacred Body at a high intensity to refine the Wood Root elixir, even allowing his external incarnation to refine it together.

This caused Xiao Qing's Super-Tier Skill, Bichuan Sacred Body, to advance from Entry Level to Proficient Level.

The difficulty of elevating a Super-Tier Skill's level was self-evident.

This time, it was considered a commendable improvement.

The significance of elevating a skill's level was immense, and Su Ping hadn't initially expected that Xiao Qing's realm would soar like this.

However, compared to Xiao Qing's joy, Su Ping, upon returning from Yuntian-Tibet, brought back Qian Yi, who hung his head in dejection, appearing somewhat spiritless.

He even neglected his sword training.

Su Ping understood the little guy's predicament.

The reason was simple; the little guy's limit was nearly reached.

Indeed, with Su Ping's realm soaring and the abundant resources at his disposal, Qian Yi's realm elevation was not slow either.

Currently, Qian Yi had reached Imperial Fourth Rank.

However, Qian Yi's racial limit was only Imperial Fifth Rank.

Even this Fifth Rank was an extremely challenging elevation.

Initially, Qian Yi's racial limit was merely at the Imperial Rank.

The little guy's cultivation and evolution didn't require many resources, and they weren't particularly precious. The primary focus was on finding the direction for its evolution.

Later, by connecting the Five Elements Paper Body and under the influence of the Sword Dao Incarnation, Qian Yi's racial limit broke through consecutively.

However, that was the extent of it.

Compared to Xiao Qing, whose racial limit had reached Imperial Rank, Qian Yi's next rapid elevation would face the challenge of a second evolution!

Su Ping slightly comforted the little guy.

Qian Yi's potential had been thoroughly proven during the Youth Professional Examination.

The second evolution would undoubtedly be more complex than the previous one. However, Su Ping needed to carefully consider the direction for the little thing's evolution and cultivation.

'Ding!'

A text message brought Su Ping's consciousness back to reality from within the Beastmaster space. He took out his phone, and as expected, it was a message from Cold Leng:

'I've already discussed it with the Yuntian-Tibet side. After you arrive in Springflower City, the Poison Sage will find you!'

Su Ping's eyebrows rose as he thought of the Poison Sage.

Upon entering Dragon City, Su Ping gained an understanding of the openly acknowledged Holy Spirit-level Beastmasters in the city.

However, there wasn't much information about this individual. It was only known that he had advanced to the Holy Spirit-level about ten years ago, making him relatively young among his peers.

Stationed in the Yunnan-Tibet region, one could discern the attributes of the other's companion beast from its name alone. During his time in the Rong family, he was subjected to constant nagging from his uncle.

Aside from that, there wasn't much else to know.

Given Cold Lord's temperament, it was evident that the two were acquainted.

Su Ping didn't mind and replied casually:

"How are things on your end?"

It was just a habitual inquiry, but what he didn't expect was that Cold Lord's response came back in no time:

"Things aren't great. Beyond the Northern Border, the undead ferocious beasts have formed a large-scale beast tide. Although the highest level currently is just the Imperial Rank undead ferocious beasts, we can't rule out the possibility of a truly intelligent Holy Spirit Rank undead orchestrating this."

"Alright, we'll talk more when we have time. Be careful when you go to Yunnan-Tibet, and pay attention to safety."

The other party sent a lengthy message, causing Su Ping's eyebrows to furrow slightly.

Has something happened in the Northern Border as well? Is it related to the Heavenly Tomb?

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since he last retrieved the Heavenly Tomb's imprint from the Ten Thousand Souls Codex.

After Yin Luo finishes nurturing the paper man, it's time to bring up the Heavenly Tomb's schedule.

Thinking of this, Su Ping sighed.

Why does it feel like a storm is approaching?

Sang Sheng, standing beside him, chuckled:

"What's wrong? Sighing in despair isn't like you."

Su Ping smiled:

"It's nothing. By the way, has your companion beast finished absorbing?"

"Not yet, but I can sense that it won't take too long. By the way, Su Ping, once you arrive in Yunnan-Tibet, you and Xiaoxue should find a place to stay in Springflower City. I need to make a trip to the front lines."

"Moreover, tell Long Er that the Proud Dragon behind the Ascending Cloud should also stop at the front lines. Don't stay in Springflower City, as the city doesn't have a proper landing pad."

"After observing the situation at the front lines, I'll come to pick you up in the afternoon. How does that sound?"

Sang Sheng smiled.

Su Ping was taken aback. Springflower City is the provincial capital of Yunnan-Tibet, and it doesn't even have a landing pad?

However, he didn't think much further and nodded: "Alright."

"Exactly, Cold Lord said that Poison Sage found his man, and he also needs to be in Springflower City."

"It won't take much time."

Soon, the Ascending Cloud's jet stream slowed down.

The jet stream made it seem like the Ascending Cloud was floating on a cloud.

"Let's get off here!"

The jet stream propelled Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue's bodies as if they were being levitated, slowly descending from mid-air. The gravity seemed to have no effect when facing the Ascending Cloud.

Sang Sheng's ride was indeed the most comfortable.

Su Ping waved his hand and watched as the Proud Dragon and Ascending Cloud ascended into the sky, heading towards the horizon. At this moment, he exhaled a sigh of relief. Qin Xiaoxue, standing beside him, was taken aback and said:

"What's with the old lady? Why the rush?"

Qin Xiaoxue glanced at Su Ping with her beautiful eyes and then surveyed the surroundings.

This wasn't Springflower City's landing pad, and it seemed that Sang Sheng's words were true—there was no space for them to use.

Here, on the outskirts of Springflower City, there was indeed no landing pad.

The two were speechless.

Su Ping, in particular, scratched his head, wondering what this place was. More importantly, would Poison Sage be able to find them here?

The two walked down from the vehicle.

Qin Xiaoxue waved her hand, and within the beastmaster space, a familiar mechanical sports car appeared before their eyes.

Although it wasn't as eye-catching as Dong Muyun's red car, its white body exuded both sharpness and elegance.

"Get in the car."

The vehicle slowly started moving, and Su Ping pressed the button on his wristwatch, saying directly:

"Fatty, locate my current position and navigate the route into Springflower City's downtown area."

"Yes, master."

Although Fatty's body was still in the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits, he could control all connected Titan terminals in real-time through the ubiquitous wireless network.

"I've located your position, master. You're in the northern suburbs of Springflower City, about twenty kilometers away from the Wan Chun District in the city center! I've planned the route, and there's an uninhabited area ahead, so please be careful."

Uninhabited area? Su Ping's eyebrows rose, and at this moment, he suddenly sensed something.

However, Qin Xiaoxue didn't seem to mind, and with Fatty's navigation projection through the wristwatch, she stepped on the accelerator and sped off.

Especially on the road in the uninhabited area, she could speed freely.

The mechanical sports car had mechanical intelligent control, so there was no need to worry about accidents.

However, Su Ping's guess in his mind became clearer at this moment.

Just as the white sports car was swiftly flying past the road in the uninhabited area, Su Ping's internal alarm sounded!

He hardly had time to think, and he instantly stretched out his hand, summoning Qian Yi's body outside the window.

At the same time, a violent explosion rang in his ears.

Following that, the mechanical sports car's rapid and sharp braking sound.

Su Ping leaped out of the car window and then saw Qian Yi, who had just arrived faster than sound, slicing a mini rocket with his sword.

This greeting was indeed unique? The explosion and flames made Su Ping's head shrink back.

However, it seemed they were playing a bit too much.
