When she got home, it was already noon. After getting ready, Ilya put on an apron and went to the kitchen.

Bai Ling also began to decorate her room with great enthusiasm.

Previously, Bai Ling either rested in the contract space or in Qin Xiao's room; she didn't have her own room.

Even though we sleep together, we still need our own rooms; it's about creating a sense of ritual.

Qin Xiao lay on the sofa like an old man and took Jingjing out of his spatial storage.

The little golden snake looked like it hadn't woken up yet.

Held in Qin Xiao's hands, she lazily avoided his large hands from stroking her.

I tapped on my wristband and started browsing the information from this period.

There was no signal for ten days, but some messages did pile up.

First, Zhou Lei and Liu Piaoxu sent messages, saying that the two of them had gone to university to register.

Qin Xiao replied and then opened Lu Chengxiao's message.

"Why is this woman messaging me?" Qin Xiao asked, somewhat curious.

Lu Chengxiao: Wow, Qin Xiao, you've even made it onto the bulletin board!

Lu Chengxiao: Good junior, please contact me as soon as you leave the secret realm. I'm quite interested in what you have.

Qin Xiao frowned. The bulletin board?

Is it about the college entrance exam?

No, no, this news was only released yesterday, it shouldn't be about the college entrance exam, right?

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, then put aside the other information and opened the Imperial Temple software.

Sure enough, upon entering the Temple of the Gods, a post announcement was highlighted at the top.

'The Beast Spirit Secret Realm and the Bewitching Spirit Cult have been annihilated by Hu Lai, the guardian of the Dimensional Army's Secret Realm, Qin Xiao, the preparatory leader of the Divine Palace, and Ye Qingya, the mayor of Qingzhou City.'

Clicking on the post reveals a complete retelling of the details and process of the operation, and it's quite clear that...

I take a lot of responsibility; I handle all the key tasks myself.

Qin Xiao stroked his chin and remarked, "General Hu Lai is quite something. He really did record and report everything in detail. What an honest man."

For this, the Temple of the Gods also rewarded me with ten Platinum-grade Spirit Crystals (of my choice) and permanent access to the Beast Spirit Realm.

Furthermore, my mission level has been raised to e2, and this event can also be considered an indicator of mission completion.

The God Points were also generously given out at 300!

Qin Xiao; Gold Rank; e2; Divine Points: 300

Excellent, excellent! This kind of organization is what keeps everyone motivated.

Qin Xiao read the post twice before closing the Imperial Temple software with satisfaction.

Continue browsing other messages and comments.

President Wu of the Qiling Association also sent a message.

Wu Linye: Qin Xiao, if you have any resources to sell or exchange, please contact me as soon as possible.

Why are all of them so sure that I have resources?

Just because a cult was destroyed?

The problem is I didn't find the cult's headquarters either; I didn't raid their place.

The remaining messages were all congratulatory messages from classmates and teachers for the college entrance examination, which Qin Xiao had not opened or read before.

After reviewing a few teachers' replies, Qin Xiao turned off the bracelet.

I'm starting to consider the resources I have.

Currently, I have one Golden Jade Mantis, one corpse, a pile of Blood Copper Ore, one Demigod-level Dragon Bone, a pile of Fire Essence Ore, and hundreds of Gold-grade and thousands of Silver-grade Spirit Crystals of various colors.

These resources have been removed from the ordinary people's monetary system and can only be exchanged for goods or settled with spirit crystals.

A high-star Platinum Jade Mantis should be enough to exchange for the two hundred Platinum-tier Spirit Crystals that Slovich needs; the difference shouldn't be too great.

Such a special and powerful beast taming item is definitely in high demand.

I don't know if the frozen mantis and the corpse still have much value; I need to find a reliable organization to assess them.

With that in mind, Qin Xiao simply opened the communication of Chairman Wu of the Spirit Contract Association again.

Qin Xiao: Chairman Wu, I have a batch of good stuff here. Could you take a look and help me get it sorted out? The handling fee is negotiable.

I want to exchange for two hundred platinum five-star light and dark spirit crystals, and one hundred gold-tier ten-star gold spirit crystals. [Attached images] [Attached images] [Attached images]

Although joining the Spirit Association waives the application fee, it's still worthwhile to offer some benefits for such a troublesome matter.

Otherwise, Qin Xiao would always feel like he owed someone a favor.

The other party replied almost instantly.

Wu Linye: Received. Xiao Qin, wait a moment, I'll ask for you.

At the holographic conference of the Spirit Association, the presidents of the Spirit Associations from various regions are holding an online meeting.

Wu Linye's projection suddenly flickered, and then he excitedly interrupted his colleague's work report.

"Old Xu, stop reading from the script. I have some good stuff here. Let's see who can handle it."

Chairman Xu, who was interrupted from reading his prepared remarks, was a fat man and became somewhat impatient upon hearing this.

"This is a work meeting, Wu Linye, what kind of trouble are you causing!"

Wu Linye didn't care at all. "This is a trade request from our Spirit Contract Association's number one seed. If you're not happy about it, go talk to the higher-ups."

Xu Bangzi was taken aback. Did he have the guts to approach the big shots above him?

They're guarding the secret realm, they don't have time to bother with him.

Damn it, that old bastard found a good prospect, and his face gets uglier every day.

Wu Linye projected several pictures onto the center of the meeting, and the dozens of chairpersons present immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Everyone talks to the air around them, and they are always surrounded by advisors or appraisers.

"Ahem, according to Seed Number One, this beast is called the Golden Jade Mantis, and it should be a special beast of the Diamond-level Beast Spirit Secret Realm."

It is very fast, has high attack power, and extremely strong defense. It may require special metals to assist in its evolution.

Its talent level is orange, and its rank is high-star platinum. You need to identify it yourself for more details.

So, is anyone interested? Here's a corpse and a living creature, a male and a female.

Let's take it back and study it. Who knows, it might even have a litter of pups! That would be a fortune!

Wu Linye relentlessly promoted the idea, even spouting nonsense like "reproduction."

The reproduction of strange beasts is already very difficult, let alone the fact that one of them is dead.

However, everyone present was a seasoned businessman and understood this principle: let him ask for a high price, I will just pay a low one.

"Old Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? We're all honest people, let's just give you the bottom line. What resources does the other party want in exchange?"

...

The argument raged in the meeting room, but Qin Xiao was unaware of it. He would be informed of the outcome once Chairman Wu had made his decision.

Next, he kept the gold-tier spirit crystals for his own use, and then opened Liu Feixue's communication.

Qin Xiao: Captain Feixue, I have 1300 silver-grade spirit crystals here. Are you interested?

Back when he bought spirit crystals, he complained about those that were circulated internally and sold at high prices.

Unexpectedly, he himself behaved in the same way, exchanging resources internally as soon as possible.

Moreover, silver-tier spirit crystals are essentially resources that can be purchased with currency.

It just so happens that most of Liu Feixue's team members are at the Silver level, but they can also use Gold, which is a good channel for selling them.
