Chapter 691: Chapter 311: The Eastern Sea Flood! The Roots of the Biyao Chunshen!

With Su Ping’s return, the Heart of Myriad Spirits, now a colossal and precise machine in Linzhou, resumed its operation. This was a location coveted by many Breeders and Beast Tamers in Linzhou. During this period, the activities of the Heart of Myriad Spirits indeed captured significant attention. The large-scale acquisition of resources and materials sparked curiosity about the financial capital held by this large breeding base on the outskirts of Linzhou.

However, those with some information channels in Linzhou were not surprised in the slightest. They knew that the Pingyun Company, now making a name for itself in Jianghai and with its product sales already spread across the eastern part of the Dragon Nation, had intricate ties to Su Ping, the legendary Genius Breeder of the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

This was quite normal. Ordinary Breeders, like Sun Chaoju, also relied on their breeding knowledge to create wealth and accumulate capital and resources to establish similar breeding bases. But in Su Ping’s case, the breeding base itself was intended to elevate his Cultivation level; simply breeding Pet Beasts for others was too inefficient for wealth creation. Conversely, it was for this very reason that Beast Tamers eager to have their Pet Beasts bred at the Heart of Myriad Spirits were incessantly flocking to it.

Guan Qianshan, as the manager Su Ping trusted most, had seen the businessmen he dealt with and the industry contacts he engaged with ascend as the Heart of Myriad Spirits continued to expand.

At this moment, Guan Qianshan, who had arrived at the manager’s office early that morning, furrowed his brows upon reviewing the list of materials purchased the previous day as per Su Ping’s instructions. He then looked at the competent woman before him.

“Ah Lan,” he said, “you were working at Yun Tian even before it merged with the Heart of Woods, and you’ve been diligent all these years! Nowadays, the boss doesn’t pay much attention to the cost of purchases, but I’m not a fool!”

While Uncle Guan always unconditionally trusted and supported Su Ping, he still maintained his authority before his subordinates.

“Dragon-Patterned Bamboo and other relatively rare Plant-based Pet Beasts are one thing. But Wood Spirit Grass, even a specimen over twenty years old, couldn’t possibly cost nearly 200,000 each, right? That’s more than a fifty percent price increase from before!”

The competent woman had a helpless expression. “Manager Guan, I really didn’t do anything underhanded; the market price is truly this high now! If you don’t believe me, you can ask around yourself, or even investigate my bank transactions and those of all my relatives. This price is after the wholesale dealer gave us a discount, showing consideration for the Heart of Myriad Spirits’ reputation!”

Guan Qianshan’s brows creased slightly. He was aware of the recent rise in prices for Cultivation materials, but he hadn’t expected it to be this extravagant. “Is it because of the situation in the Eastern Sea?”

“Yes! With Jianghai blockading all the seaports in the Eastern Sea and some nearby coastal cities, resource circulation has naturally slowed. Moreover, since Linzhou is one of the first to be hit, these Cultivation resources, barely considered strategic materials, saw an inevitable price surge,” the woman said helplessly.

“The Eastern Sea…” Guan Qianshan sighed. He knew that the Eastern Sea had been restless lately. Not to mention, a colleague from Tianyun Company, who had been temporarily transferred to work on Crescent Island in West Dragon Lake, had also said that all projects near Crescent Lake were now halted. The entire West Dragon Lake was off-limits to anyone but the Legion. Now, West Dragon Lake had entered a full state of martial law. Countless navy warships and naval Beast Tamers from the Beast Tamer Legion, centered on West Dragon Lake, were patrolling the Eastern Sea.

“Ah, who knows what the issue is or when those Ferocious Beasts from beneath the Eastern Sea will calm down.” Guan Qianshan shook his head. “Alright, regardless, these resources and Pet Beasts were personally ordered by the boss. Let’s complete the purchase first. We’ve accumulated enough resources recently. We can reduce our procurement for the next few months and wait for the situation in the Eastern Sea to calm down a bit.”

“Yes!”

At Longkou, where West Dragon Lake connected to the Eastern Sea, an immense warship floated atop the ocean. No matter how violently the water churned, it couldn’t shake the massive ship in the slightest; it stood like an immovable fortress on the sea, as if it would never sink.

On the warship’s deck, a few figures stood, each clad in military uniform, predominantly in pure white, signifying their identity as members of the Naval Beast Tamer Legion.

However, their leader was a surprisingly boyish figure, no taller than a child. With rosy lips and white teeth, he seemed less like an important figure who should be in such a place and more like a child fresh out of school. Yet, behind this boy, everyone stood with utmost respect, waiting on his every command.

The boy observed the undulating waves before him, then gently patted the deck railing. “Po Lang, what’s the extent of the detection range?”

Clearly, his words were not meant for any person present, but for the gigantic warship beneath their feet.

The ship promptly responded. “Reporting to Master, I have dispatched twenty Reconnaissance Motherships and three thousand underwater cameras. Within West Dragon Lake’s range, no Monarch Level Pet Beasts have entered.”
