Qin Xiao excitedly looked Ilya up and down.

"Okay, now that's settled, we can get you some new equipment, Ilya."

Ilya blushed as she was stared at, and turned to look at herself in return.

"Master, what's going on? I feel like I've become so powerful!"

Ilya asked hesitantly.

Qin Xiao's lips curled into a smile. "I've said it before, follow me, and your master will make you even stronger, stronger than you can even imagine!"

Come on, give it a try, how's your new skill now?!

Upon hearing this, Ilya closed her eyes and meditated for a while. A strange fluctuation appeared, and a gentle breeze and lightning appeared around her, growing stronger and stronger.

Qin Xiao and Bai Ling stepped back a few paces.

Ilya opened her dark golden eyes, raised her hand, and a lightning spear appeared in her hand.

Violent air currents swirled around it.

Without thinking, she threw the practice target in the basement.

boom!

With almost no time interval, the distant superalloy target exploded.

The Thunder Spear continued its momentum, blasting a large hole in the wall behind it.

The earth and rocks outside the wall collapsed into the hole in an instant.

Qin Xiao stared in disbelief at the terrifying power, then his face darkened.

"My Queen, are you trying to destroy our little family?"

Qin Xiao said jokingly.

Ilya blushed slightly.

With a wave of his hand, he controlled the earth and stones to surge out of the wall, then solidify and compact them into a rock-like earthen wall.

"Master, I didn't mean to!"

Ilya was also excited. She took two steps to Qin Xiao's side, knelt down, and said coquettishly.

Not knowing how to express herself, Ilya simply hugged Qin Xiao's head and gave him a top-notch face wash.

Waaaaah~

Qin Xiao took a deep breath, then two breaths, and shook his head repeatedly.

Ilya released him, and Qin Xiao gasped for breath.

I almost suffocated.

After spending some more time in the basement, he finally gained a basic grasp of his current power.

Go back upstairs.

Ilya went to the kitchen in a good mood, while Qin Xiao sprawled on the sofa, completely satisfied.

Bai Ling's all-around healing, illusion magic, and foxfire are all powerful skills that can fill in any gaps in her abilities.

The powerful vitality of the Jianmu tree, combined with life circulation and symbiotic skills, comprehensively enhances the team's survivability.

With her incredible mobility, powerful attacks, and incredible luck, Ilya is an almost bug-level warrior.

With this lineup, let alone Silver-ranked enemies, Qin Xiao would dare to challenge even Gold-ranked ones! And he would definitely be crushed to pieces by the enemy!

He desperately wanted to shout, "Who else?!"

I leisurely ate a peach and played with Bai Ling for a while.

He began to look forward to choosing his beast tomorrow.

A beast tamer with purple talent is sure to be a pleasant surprise.

If we were to extract the template again, that would be absolutely incredible!

As for what type of beast to choose.

Qin Xiao was somewhat troubled.

Now that we have everything we need, it's not so hard to choose.

Or should we stick to the original plan and have a full set of ice-type beast tamers?

At least let's minimize the future environmental impact, right?

Ding ding!

As he was thinking, the bracelet sent him a notification.

Qin Xiao clicked to take a look.

Ye Qinghuan: Hello Qin Xiao, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to schedule a time to discuss the lava core with you.

With a proper attitude and polite words, Qin Xiao, after careful consideration, was still more inclined to do business with the other party.

As long as the price offered isn't too outrageous, selling it to the daughter of the mayor of Gyeongju will at least create some connection, right?

Qin Xiao: Sure, I'm free tomorrow afternoon.

The message was sent out and the other party replied immediately.

Ye Qinghuan: That's great, thank you so much. Would it be alright to meet at 3 PM tomorrow at Building 1 of Qingzhou Compound? Or you can set a time and place, mainly because my mother also wants to meet you.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly. Ye Qinghuan's mother?

Isn't that Mayor Ye Qingya?

What does the mayor want with me?

Although Qin Xiao had some doubts, the other party was the highest administrative official in Qingzhou and the strongest person on the surface.

They still have that much face to save; basic respect is still necessary.

Qin Xiao: Okay, no problem. I'll be there on time unless something unexpected happens.

I need to choose a beast to tame tomorrow morning. I also had an appointment with Hu Bukuan to meet the captain of the Flying Snow team, so this time is perfect.

As for the captain of the Flying Snow team, well, there's no way around it. As long as you're still in this circle, you have to keep up with the times, even if you don't officially join.

Making as many friends as possible and getting rid of enemies completely has always been Qin Xiao's basic principle.

When you are not yet powerful enough for everyone to look up to you, you must learn to blend in with the world.

Given his current fame, it's impossible for him to completely ignore these things.

After graduating from school, we might come back to Qingzhou, where we'll all be in the same boat.

Thinking about all these random things, time flies by.

The remaining attribute-less spirit crystals and earth-type spirit crystals were given to Ilya and White Spirit to absorb.

That night, Qin Xiao enjoyed even more passionate service from Ilya, and he felt like he was flying in heaven.

The next morning, I got up very early.

In the yard, Ilya strolled around, watering the newly planted flowers and plants from time to time.

Qin Xiao walked out of the hall looking dejected. Ilya put down the kettle and said with a smile.

"Master, breakfast is ready, go and eat."

Qin Xiao scratched his head and turned back.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Ilya, Qin Xiao took a shower.

He mounted his horse and leisurely rode down the mountain.

I passed by my neighbor's yard, but no one was there.

Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He wondered what the woman had been busy with, otherwise it would have been a bit awkward.

After all, the other party is also the vice president of the War Beast Guild in Qingzhou, so they will definitely try to recruit him.

An hour later, at a leisurely pace.

Qin Xiao arrived at the office building of the official Beast Taming Department in Qingzhou.

Zhou Lei was already waiting at the door. He recognized Qin Xiao as soon as he saw the tall and beautiful Ilya from afar.

He waved excitedly, "Brother Xiao, over here!"

Upon approaching, Qin Xiao dismounted from Ilya's horse.

"You didn't sleep a wink last night, did you?"

Looking at the other person's heavy dark circles, Qin Xiao complained.

Zhou Lei's expression froze. "You guessed it, Brother Xiao. I slept for a while yesterday, but I really couldn't fall asleep in the second half of the night."

"Come on, let's go inside quickly."

After Zhou Lei finished speaking, he pulled Qin Xiao away.

Qin Xiao didn't pay any attention and followed them into the Beast Taming Department.

People were coming and going in the lobby, handling their business. A familiar face appeared at one of the waiting areas.

"Brother Qin Xiao!"

A delicate, girlish voice rang out.

Liu Piaoxu skipped and hopped over, her long hair bouncing with each step.

The girl, no longer disheveled from her time in the secret realm, looked adorable in her bubble dress.

However, the large bag of dried squid he was carrying somewhat marred his image.

The purple sable on its shoulder would occasionally pull out a piece of squid meat from its bag, eating it itself and feeding it to Liu Piaoxu.

Qin Xiao chuckled, "What are you doing here?"

"Brother Qin Xiao, I'm here to register for the Gold-Tier Secret Realm qualification. My sister said I should team up with you guys to go to the Gold-Tier Secret Realm before the college entrance exam!"

The girl spoke with great energy.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly. Team up?

Who will you team up with?

Did Lao Tzu agree to team up?
