Chapter 489: Qin Chuan's Reminder! A Fight Breaks Out?
Chapter 489: Qin Chuan's Reminder! A Fight Breaks Out?
After returning from the Soul Core, it was almost noon.
However, not only did Su Ping not feel tired, but he also felt quite energetic and refreshed.
The main reason for this was the two extra talents he gained from illuminating these two books.
The first one, obtained from the Lucky Cat, was a physical enhancement, which was self-explanatory.
Although most Beastmasters wouldn't use their physical bodies in combat, experiments showed that those who awakened the physical enhancement talent had improved physical qualities, significantly enhanced immunity to illnesses, and a certain level of increase in lifespan.
That was more than enough.
The second talent was called 'Super Limit Spirit'.
The name might sound intimidating, but in reality, it allowed Beastmasters to continue exerting their mental power and maintaining their consciousness even after reaching the critical point, allowing for further extraction and utilization.
It was a talent fit for a grinding emperor.
Undoubtedly, this second talent was obtained after illuminating the Extreme Yin Ground Spirit's book.
Previously, Cold Grandpa had mentioned it to him once.
This unique Necromancer Lineage Companion Beast, once awakened, would, like other Companion Beasts that had broken free of their shells, have a certain affinity for the first living being it sees.
Therefore, the second book in the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits originated from the Crimson Dress.
However, when the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits was illuminated this time, a special situation occurred that hadn't happened before! It wasn't that the Extreme Yin Ground Spirit was special, but rather, on the book, a special branch option appeared, which hadn't been seen in many previous Companion Beast books.
【Book: Extreme Yin Ground Spirit】
【A powerful evolutionary Necromancer Lineage Companion Beast, requires binding to a corresponding Yin Ground, highly values the protection of the Yin Ground, possesses racial skills such as Yin Spirit Body, Soul Lament, Death Reverberation, Yin Ground Enhancement, Ghostly Shadows, and Ghostly Walls... etc.】

Record Log:
【Discovered and contacted a high-level Extreme Yin Ground Spirit, met intimacy requirements, book level experience +200!】
At first glance, it seemed no different from the other books.
However, above the book, there was an additional section called 'Known Lower-level Books'.
Obviously, even by comparing it with the information above, Su Ping could grasp the concept.
The Extreme Yin Ground Spirit was a breed of Companion Beast that evolved from the Necromancer Lineage.
It could be achieved through evolution.
Or, it was very likely that it could only be born through evolution.
After all, Su Ping's Book of Ten Thousand Spirits also included advanced breeds, such as the Life Ancient Tree, a Monarch Rank high-level Companion Beast.
In reality, it could also evolve from lower-level plant-type Companion Beasts.
However, the Life Ancient Tree's book didn't have any records in this regard.
So, why did the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits appear for the Extreme Yin Ground Spirit? It was clear that Su Ping had reason to speculate that the Extreme Yin Ground Spirit couldn't reproduce naturally and was somewhat similar to the birth of the Thousand Wood Wolf and the Shuguan Lang Huang.
It was a high-level evolution.
Currently, it was still uncertain whether the Forest Wolf's two forms could reproduce offspring through their own kind to break free from the Forest Wolf's lower-level racial foundation.
Therefore, the Shuguan Lang Huang and the Thousand Wood Wolf were the Forest Wolf's higher-level evolutionary races, listed in the evolution chart.
If this was the case, would illuminating the Wood Wolf's book merge it with the Forest Wolf's book, becoming the so-called lower-level racial book in the Forest Wolf's book?
It was indeed possible.
However, there really wasn't any time for experiments recently.
With these thoughts in mind, Su Ping returned to the Wood Heart.
But just as he reached the door, he saw Guan Lili standing there. When Su Ping arrived, she quickly waved and approached him: "Ping, President Qin has arrived. My dad is receiving him. Do you want to go and see?"
Old Qin?
Su Ping's lips curled slightly.
However, he also knew that there was no way he could avoid it.
After all, he had just swallowed the sugar-coated bullet that Old Qin had sent over. In less than a week, September would be upon them, and as the new school term approached, Jianghai Advanced Academy had already gained quite a reputation for its hard work and overtime during the past two months.
They were just waiting to snatch up those Beastmasters who had not been admitted to the eight top academies nationwide, but whose talents were not far behind.
At this moment, it would indeed be inappropriate for him to not give face.
With this thought, Su Ping nodded and finally stepped inside.
A familiar figure of Qin Erlong appeared before him.
However, to Su Ping's surprise, there was another figure beside Qin Erlong, someone he also recognized.
He had seen this person a few times before. During his time at Modu Academy, it seemed to be the father of Miss Qin, a man named Qin Chuan.
"Su Ping, you finally came back!"
Su Ping shifted his gaze and greeted them, "President Qin, Uncle Qin."
"Alright, since Xiao Ping is back, I'll take my leave. I still have some matters to attend to."
Guan Qianshan understood and bid farewell directly.
Su Ping sat down and sighed, "President Qin, next time you have something like this, you must inform me in advance. Such a big matter, the construction at Earth Core was about to begin, but because of your sudden decision, it's been delayed for so long."
"These are minor matters. The development of East Suburban was already decided. Wansheng Heart is the pride of Jianghai. Regardless of the situation, Jianghai should provide policy support!
But, you rascal, I didn't come here for this matter. About the previous matter, have you made up your mind? Rest assured, the corresponding treatment will not be lacking, and it will even exceed conventions..."
Qin Erlong's eyes were fixed on Su Ping.
Su Ping couldn't help but feel a headache, "President Qin, I truly don't have much time. However, you can use me for promotion. If I have the time, I'll go to the academy, and if needed, I'll occasionally teach a class. If you're not worried about me misleading the students, I won't be shy about it.
But please forget about the treatment. I'm doing this solely for the sake of your relationship with Sage Sang. I truly have a lot on my plate, and I hope you can understand."
It was clear that having Su Ping as a full-time professor at Jianghai Academy was almost an impossible task.
President Qin himself was aware of this,
Moreover, even if Su Ping agreed due to their relationship, others might not be willing, especially those above.
Su Ping's value didn't require him to waste too much time on teaching.
Occasionally teaching a class would be more than enough.
"Hehe, occasionally is fine, occasionally is fine! It's not easy to get you, our Jianghai's treasure, to agree! Now, let's see which province's advanced academy can compete with us!
At that time, Jianghai Advanced Academy might even surpass some of the other eight academies!"
President Qin was extremely satisfied.
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's eyes twitched, "President Qin, I don't have that much influence! The eight academies have stood in Dragon Country for over a hundred years, and their foundation is not something we can compare to. Why set such a lofty goal?"

President Qin gave him a disdainful look, "You underestimate your own value and influence! I believe in you! By then, the campus of Jianghai Academy won't be too far from Wansheng Heart, and it will bring you a huge business. You should be delighted!"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is the construction of Jianghai Academy already completed? Where is it?"
"You rascal, you're not taking Jianghai's top priority to heart, are you? You didn't even notice such a nearby matter?"
Qin Erlong said with displeasure and then took out a map.
The first thing that made Su Ping sweat was that the main road in front of Wansheng Heart had already been renamed, and the new name was none other than 'Wansheng Road'.
At the same time, on Wansheng Road, less than a kilometer west of Wansheng Heart, was the entire so-called 'University City'.
Along with Jianghai Advanced Academy, there were also some basic facilities, and the development was already well-organized.
Was it that close? No wonder there had been more visitors to Wansheng Heart recently.
Moreover, having just returned from Soul Heart, there were more vehicles coming and going on the main road, no longer as deserted as before.
It turned out that way, and Su Ping finally understood as he nodded in realization.
Students, not to mention the future advanced Beastmasters of the Advanced Academy, even when he was a student himself, had extremely high consumption.
Throughout history, students have undoubtedly been the most powerful consumer force.
Although Su Ping didn't care for the thin profit margins of such sales strategies, he knew that Wansheng Heart couldn't rely on ordinary Beastmaster students for its survival.
However, for Wansheng Heart's future, it would still be somewhat helpful.
Clearly, having resolved a matter that had been weighing on his mind, Qin Erlong's mood was exceptionally good.
He stood up and said, "Alright, where's my granddaughter? It's been a while since I've seen that girl. Su Ping, Ah Chuan wants to talk to you, and I'm going to go find Xiaoxue first."
Su Ping nodded. The man before him, who had nearly caused his death, had come with Qin Erlong, and it was obvious he wasn't here for a leisurely outing.
"Su Ping, strictly speaking, this is our third meeting."
The door to the reception room closed, and Qin Chuan smiled slightly. He was extremely handsome, and it was evident that Qin Xiaoxue's beauty was largely inherited from this father.
Su Ping also nodded, "I didn't expect to see you again at my place."
Compared to Qin Erlong, the current Qin Chuan seemed more distant.
Qin Chuan didn't mind and even joked, "In any case, it's definitely much better than the place where we first met, right?"
Su Ping was taken aback, then nodded, "That's true."
Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
However, Su Ping didn't have the leisure to engage in small talk with the man before him. He spoke directly, "Uncle Qin, if you have something to say, please do so."
"Su Ping, regarding the previous matter, I owe you an apology, and I also owe Xiaoxue an apology. But this time, I came to give you a warning!"
Qin Chuan looked extremely serious.
"Your Pingyun Corporation, during this period, I've heard that it has joined the Golden Guild?"
Upon hearing this, a slight ripple appeared in Su Ping's eyes, but he feigned a moment of surprise and then replied, "The Golden Guild? Oh, is that the special commercial organization that Dong Muyun mentioned to me before? It seems like there's something to it."
Seeing Su Ping's nonchalant attitude, Qin Chuan frowned slightly, but after some thought, he said, "When I was outside the Dragon Country, I had dealings with some financial groups in the world. The Golden Guild might not be as simple as it seems, and it may be related to the Golden Heart I wanted to join.
Be careful, and don't repeat my mistakes!"
To Su Ping's surprise, Qin Chuan was genuinely just giving him a warning.
He paused for a moment and then said, "Golden Heart? Is that the commercial organization from the Eagle Nation? But it's just a business organization. On Bluesky, Beastmaster strength is the foundation that determines everything, and these things shouldn't be an issue."
He smiled slightly and added, "But Uncle Qin, I can understand you now. No wonder you wanted to join that Golden Heart back then. It seems like you were pouring in real gold and silver!"
Qin Chuan's frown deepened, and he slowly stood up.
"Su Ping, I'm not joking with you. Finance has the potential to break the rules that have been in place on Bluesky for so many years, and it might determine a whole new set of rules! Once involved, there could be danger.
I was ignorant back then, but now I'm here to warn you, and it's for Xiaoxue's sake. Think it over carefully, because the power in your hands is now stronger than mine. Don't take it lightly."
After speaking, Qin Chuan turned and left without hesitation.
Su Ping merely stood up as a symbolic gesture of seeing him off and then sat back down, his eyebrows gradually furrowing.
After some thought, he picked up his phone and sent a message to a number he hadn't saved.
Then, Su Ping slowly walked out of the reception room.
Before he could ponder Qin Chuan's intentions further, a vine suddenly shot out from not too far away.
The Heaven-reaching Vine's vine didn't wait for Su Ping to react and immediately communicated through a unique spiritual connection, "Su Ping, come quickly! The Black Crow and Red Lotus are fighting..."
"Huh? Red Lotus? Inferno Lotus?"
"That's right..."
Su Ping was taken aback. It had only been a day since he brought them back, how could they already be fighting? But he couldn't afford to delay, so he hurried towards the Forest Core.
