Chapter 546: Cooperative Effort?
Chapter 546: Cooperative Effort?
The little girl, Sun Ruirui, had brought Li Qian a breakthrough, which made him quite pleased, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Zhonghai Beast University's Cultivation Academy was researching the Icefire Dragon, and with the strength and resources of a school, not to mention being one of the top Companion Beast universities in the Dongxia Federation, they should have some results.
These results would undoubtedly be a significant resource for Li Qian, but there was no way they had already achieved a breakthrough, or the news would have leaked out by now.
Furthermore, if Zhonghai Beast University had discovered the evolution method for the Icefire Dragon, there was no need for them to keep it a secret.
After pondering for a while, Li Qian asked Wu You to take Sun Ruirui to explore the Jade Research Facility, while he quickly left the Third Secret Realm.
As soon as he left the Third Secret Realm, Li Qian sent a message to Dean Fei, and not long after, Dean Fei replied.
A few minutes later, in the office building of the Cultivation Academy, Li Qian met with Dean Fei.
Without wasting any time, Li Qian spoke directly, explaining the situation to Dean Fei.
"It would indeed be better for me to represent Shazhou Beastmaster University in acquiring all the research materials related to the Icefire Dragon from your Cultivation Academy," Dean Fei said, nodding slightly after hearing Li Qian's statement and offering his opinion.
"Then I'll trouble you, Dean Fei," Li Qian said, not saying much more after hearing Dean Fei's agreement, and thanked him directly.
"You can focus on your studies and research. Leave this matter to me," Dean Fei said, patting his chest confidently.
Hearing this, Li Qian smiled and nodded. After a brief conversation, Li Qian left Dean Fei's office.
Upon returning to the Third Secret Realm, Li Qian picked up the cultivation books and materials to read again, even though he had already finished his own collection.
However, the school's collection was not so easily exhausted, and Li Qian was well aware that some books and materials, even if unrelated to the Frostfire Devil Salamander or the Icefire Dragon, could still provide him with inspiration through analogy and association.
But sifting through these books and materials to find those relevant to him was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Li Qian could only rely on the book titles to make connections and try to narrow down the possibilities. It was a desperate measure in a desperate situation.
Meanwhile, as Li Qian was busy examining various books and materials, on the other side, Dean Fei had already contacted Fan Hongtao from Zhonghai Beast University.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Dean Fei got to the point, "Old Fan, I heard that you are researching the Icefire Dragon. May I ask how far your research has progressed?"
On the other end of the phone, Fan Hongtao's lips curled into a faint smile as he thought to himself: After all this time, they finally got to the point of this call.
These eight major Cultivation Academy directors did communicate from time to time, but their relationship was just that—occasional contact without much substance. They wouldn't waste phone fees on trivial matters.
At this moment, for Old Fei from Shazhou Beastmaster University to take the initiative to contact him, it was impossible for Fan Hongtao to believe that it was purely for a chat or catching up, without any ulterior motive.
Fan Hongtao smiled and said calmly, "Our Zhonghai Beast University is indeed researching the evolution method of the Icefire Dragon."
"Moreover, we have already achieved some results. We can temporarily evolve the Icefire Dragon, but the evolution method still has flaws, and it cannot be sustained for long. The evolution can only last for about five minutes."
Dean Fei was not only the director of Shazhou Beastmaster University's Cultivation Academy, but also a highly skilled cultivator himself. He understood that the ability to temporarily complete the evolution indicated that Zhonghai Beast University's Cultivation Academy had indeed grasped some substantial knowledge, or else it wouldn't be possible to trigger the evolution.
"Five minutes is already quite impressive," Dean Fei praised with a smile.
"Hehe, we are still far from achieving the true evolution!" Fan Hongtao modestly replied, continuing to engage in small talk with Dean Fei.
Anyway, he had already made up his mind. If Old Fei didn't bring it up, he would never take the initiative to mention it, as whoever brought it up first would be at a disadvantage in such matters.
Additionally, he was also thinking about something deeper. He could confirm that Old Fei from Shazhou was definitely after the evolution information of the Icefire Dragon, but he had never heard that Shazhou Beastmaster University was also researching the evolution method of the Icefire Dragon.
This was interesting. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
If he remembered correctly, the Cultivation genius that Shazhou Beastmaster University had recruited last year, a once-in-a-century talent, had a Frostfire Devil Salamander.
Moreover, the evolution method of the Frostfire Devil Salamander was researched by this person, and even the Zhonghai Beast University, which was researching the Icefire Dragon, essentially relied on this person for the required Frostfire Devil Salamander.
Fan Hongtao made this guess, and he felt that his speculation was quite reasonable, not just random speculation.
Based on this guess, he already had a certain idea in mind, although it might not necessarily succeed, but it was worth a try.
With this thought, the smile on his face became more apparent, and he continued to chat casually with Dean Fei, showing no signs of urgency.
On the other side, seeing that Fan Hongtao was only making small talk with him, Dean Fei couldn't help but sigh in exasperation.
"Well, Director Fan, if we can research the Icefire Dragon, it will greatly benefit both Zhonghai Beast University and Shazhou Beastmaster University, as well as the entire Dongxia Federation. Coincidentally, some people on our side at Shazhou Beast University are also interested in this research. How about we cooperate?" Fan Hongtao, the old fox, didn't respond, leaving Dean Fei helpless. He cursed inwardly and carefully chose his words to bring up the main topic.
He strongly suspected that if they continued to chat like this, Fan Hongtao could easily keep him talking until nightfall.
On the other side, seeing that Dean Fei had finally brought up the main topic, Fan Hongtao smiled and asked in a calm tone, "The research on the Icefire Dragon is indeed of great benefit to the country and the people. Since Shazhou Beastmaster University is also preparing to research in this area, cooperation is the best option. May I ask, Dean Fei, how do you plan to cooperate?"
