My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 278: Qiu Daomu's Request
Although Zhou Lu's intuition told him that there must be something wrong with the Tian family in Suizhou, he was not in a hurry to go to Suizhou.

The first thing Zhou Lu did after returning to the real world was to ask Hua Huo to check the situation on Phoenix Island.

That is Yangui's base camp, and the immortal group behind Yangui is stationed on this island.

Zhou Lu did not touch these immortals at that time, but instead planted branches of fireworks around the island in order to find clues about the fairyland.

Unfortunately, because the Xinzhou incident caused such a big stir, Zhou Lu did not see any trace of the Immortal Kingdom for a long time.

It is also true that the Immortal Kingdom cultivated Yan Gui in order to use the lives of the people of Xinzhou to produce its own food.

It is obvious that New South Wales is no longer suitable for developing such business, and there is no need for them to waste time here.

After figuring this out, Zhou Lu's expectations of detecting traces of the fairyland on Phoenix Island have been greatly reduced.

But in reality, I still like to give Zhou Lu surprises.

According to the information recorded by Fenzhu, during the time when he and Hua Huo went to the ancient city of the fairyland, several immortals who were not recorded appeared near Phoenix Island.

They were very cautious and conducted a very careful inspection around the island.

It’s a pity that due to the various stealth skills, the branches of Fireworks cannot be discovered through ordinary means.

After all, who can doubt those lovely red and green algae?

As Hanabi's strength increases, these offshoots often burst out with amazing subjective initiative when they are out of Hanabi's control.

They took advantage of the moment when these immortals flew over the sea and attached themselves to them.

After the immortals checked again and again to make sure that there was no one watching around, they entered Phoenix Island with confidence.

On Phoenix Island, the members of Yangui were not worried about the Xinzhou incident.

They are actively looking for a way out for the organization.

In fact, over the past few decades, they have been tirelessly releasing signals on the Internet that are favorable to the immortals.

They never lie, but only tell the truth that is beneficial to the immortal.

It's like only three countries have ever defeated the Chinese national football team in the World Cup. Tell me if this is true.

Under such constant propaganda, coupled with official negligence and indulgence, there exists a group of people on the Internet who have naive fantasies about immortals.

As long as they mobilize this group, even if they lose their base in New South Wales, they still have the possibility of subverting the era of Beastmasters.

Unfortunately, with the occurrence of the Xinzhou incident, the authorities seem to have realized this problem, and a number of accounts have appeared on the Internet that popularize the immortal’s various deeds in the past.

When these immortals arrived, the returning immortals were typing frantically on their keyboards.

Zhou Lu, who saw this scene through the video of the division, was a little nervous for a moment.

It seems that modern immortals have given up fighting with swords and switched to keyboards.

Well, this is very much in line with the development of the times.

Zhou Lu complained in his heart.

It seemed that these foreign immortals came to invite Yan Gui to go to Suizhou, but they did not elaborate on what they were about.

Suizhou?

It does match what I know.

Zhou Lu suddenly felt happy.

At least I have caught the fairyland's flaws.

It seems that he needs to go to Suizhou next.

Zhou Lu was thinking about it and was about to contact Ye Qingyu to tell her what he knew, but he found that Ye Qingyu had already arrived here.

"You're famous now, Xiao Lu." Ye Qingyu smiled when she saw Zhou Lu.

"I just did a small job." Zhou Lu said modestly.

"That scale can't be said to be small." Ye Qingyu said, taking out a document and handing it to Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"Exemption agreement." Ye Qingyu said, "In view of your outstanding performance in the ancient city of the fairy world, your compulsory military service after graduation is exempted."

This was originally a mandatory obligation, but as long as Zhou Lu signed the exemption agreement, he would not have to serve.

This is a small benefit from the official.

But if this is all you have, it would be a bit too shabby.

With Zhou Lu’s current strength, if he deliberately refuses to serve, the authorities will have no way to deal with him.

As expected, Ye Qingyu immediately mentioned the official's additional rewards.

She took out a few boxes and handed them to Zhou Lu.

Before Zhou Lu took the boxes, Hua Huo seemed to sense something and snatched the boxes away with her vines, with a longing expression on her face.

"I want these..." Hua Huo felt her instinctive desire, so she looked at Zhou Lu with anticipation.

It hopes that Zhou Lu can accept these gifts.

But if Zhou Lu refuses, Hua Huo will still reluctantly return these things to Ye Qingyu.

Seeing Hua Huo's reaction, Zhou Lu had no idea what Ye Qingyu had sent over.

This is clearly the material that Fireworks needs to evolve into a True God.

Zhou Lu asked in confusion: "How did you know I needed these materials? Did anyone know that the fireworks are the Nine-Life Immortal Grass?"

If this is really the case, Zhou Lu should probably be wary.

Ye Qingyu smiled and shook her head, "Of course not, it's just because the president of Xin Yue College applied for these materials from the national treasury a few days ago. Because these materials are too precious, we investigated the purpose of Xin Yue College's application materials, and then we knew that it was given to you as a reward."

Wow, it turns out that the officials, like the commander of the pioneer army, learned about Zhou Lu’s needs from the request from Xin Yue College.

Then they took these materials and went straight around Xin Yue College to give them to Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu couldn't help but feel a little amused.

I wonder if the poor Mediterranean dean would scratch his few remaining hairs bald if he knew about this.

"Of course, the rewards they give are more than that." Ye Qingyu changed the address, which also meant that her next words were no longer spoken in an official capacity. "You haven't contracted a fourth pet yet, right? As long as you can get the recognition of a divine beast in the Ordinary, you can contract with it."

The divine beasts can choose the beastmaster they want, and this has never changed.

But just like an election, your choice can only be made within the options officially given.

Some veteran beasts may be able to choose their own new beastmasters at will, but for the new generation of beasts, they are generally willing to accept official recommendations.

This time, based on Zhou Lu’s outstanding performance in the ancient city of the fairyland, the official felt that if such a beastmaster joined the official, he would definitely be able to keep the world peaceful for decades.

Therefore, after investigation, it was felt that there was no problem with Zhou Lu's identity background and ideological outlook, so the official decided to take action to strengthen Zhou Lu's strength.

While the contracted beast enhances Zhou Lu's strength, it also protects Zhou Lu from invasion by certain forces.

The human world has never been a monolithic entity.

There are all kinds of forces within the official system.

The Xinzhou incident is the best proof. The authorities have realized that in addition to the noble families, there are also immortal undercover agents in their ranks.

Although they have tried their best to investigate, it is impossible to expect that such an investigation can completely purify the inside.

"Contracted divine beast?" To be honest, Zhou Lu was a little tempted.

When Hua Huo heard Ye Qingyue's words, she immediately became alert.

Now it doesn't mind its master contracting a new spirit beast.

After going through so much, Hanabi can already feel her position in her master's heart.

Even if you are a divine beast, you can never expect your status in your master's heart to surpass yours.

But what if?
What if the other person is both beautiful and powerful!
But Hua Huo knew that Zhou Lu had been suffering from the nightmare of death for a long time.

Xiao Caocao was not wrong.

Regarding the contracted beast, Zhou Lu’s first reaction was a nightmare of death.

Although the Dao-Seeking Wood is obviously stronger and more important, Zhou Lu knows that it is impossible to make a contract with the Dao-Seeking Wood so easily.

As a nightmare, Xiao'E can protect the party from any mental or spiritual attacks, and has various abilities that can be exerted through dreams.

The black inscription mushroom only records one of Xiao'e's skills, but it is already so useful. Zhou Lu doesn't know how great it would be to have a complete Xiao'e.

"Don't think too much." Ye Qingyu seemed to see through Zhou Lu's thoughts, "Divine beasts with irreplaceable functions like Xiao'e and Qiudaomu are not on the catalog."

Zhou Lu suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"I understand." Zhou Lu nodded and decided to go back to the Veterans' Home to check the catalog of mythical beasts carefully.

As he said this, Zhou Lu also started chatting with Ye Qingyue about the affairs of Suizhou.

Upon hearing that Yangui had finally taken action, Ye Qingyu's expression suddenly became serious.

"Wait, Suizhou?" Suddenly, Ye Qingyu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhou Lu with a little surprise.

Zhou Lu was looked at by Ye Qingyu and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Xiaoxiao told me before that he would go to Suizhou later." Ye Qingyu recalled.

Zhou Lu's heart immediately shuddered.

coincidence?

Absolutely not!

Senior Brother Ouyang must have found traces of the Immortal Kingdom through other routes, so he went to Suizhou.

If this is true, what is about to happen in Suizhou will definitely be serious.

Zhou Lu made a prompt decision, not even bothering to accept the opportunity to contract a divine beast, and said directly to Ye Qingyu: "Arrange a flight to Suizhou for me immediately."

Suizhou is very far away from Xin Yuezhou, but it can still be flown there with Yueya's endurance. However, Zhou Lu does not want to consume Yueya's physical strength too much in transportation.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

If I use Crescent Moon to speed up my journey, I will be at a disadvantage when fighting the BOSS because I can't fly. Wouldn't that be the end of me?

Ye Qingyu also knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately said, "It's ready. You can go over now."

Zhou Lu didn't expect that Ye Qingyu's efficiency would be so fast.

"Actually, it's not that fast..." Ye Qingyu felt a little embarrassed.

Zhou Lu understood immediately.

It turns out that Ye Qingyu heard that her boyfriend was in Suizhou and planned to go there to find him.

Obviously, I was just sending along the extra molecules.

Zhou Lu complained in his heart, but did not refuse.

"I've packed everything!" At this time, Hanabi's branch had already carried the luggage down from upstairs. Hanabi stuffed the large and small bags into the Tsukiyama Ding, and announced that the preparations were complete.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "There's no need to be so anxious. The flight won't take off until tomorrow morning. On the contrary, I have to go back and pack my luggage."

If what Zhou Lu said was true, a fierce battle would be waiting for her in Suizhou.

She, the great superstar Ye Qingyu, is definitely not a woman whose mind is filled with love.

The reason why she was in a hurry to go to Suizhou was that she had a premonition that her boyfriend might need her combat assistance.

After Ye Qingyu left, Zhou Lu took Hua Huo to Wu Xiaoqing's laboratory.

Wu Xiaoqing was not there at this time.

Her exchange visit was about to end, and many projects were gradually coming to an end. She was now taking these projects to the college to ask for funding.

As for whether Xin Yue College will ask Xin An to share this part of the research funds in the future, it is not something Wu Xiaoqing can control.

No one would complain about having too little funding, and the more you can get, the better.

Zhou Lu walked around Wu Xiaoqing's laboratory.

It’s a pity that she came here for a visit this time, and she didn’t bring many waste materials from previous projects, so there wasn’t much for Zhou Lu to collect.

Seeing that there were not many results, Zhou Lu simply gave up the search.

At this moment, Manman's figure reappeared.

She flapped her wings and landed gracefully on Zhou Lu's shoulder.

"Xiao Lu, my mother wants your help with something." Manman said.

Zhou Lu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

What kind of existence is the Tao-seeking Tree?
A super powerful person who controls destiny.

And I am just a fourth-rank beastmaster. What is it that Qiu Daomu needs my help with?

Seeing Zhou Lu's puzzled look, Manman slowly told the story.

Didn't Qiudaomu distribute the branches of Huahuo to various research institutes in its name? The reason why these research institutes were willing to take out the results of failed projects that had been suppressed for many years for Huahuo's branches to verify was to seek the fairy coins promised by Qiudaomu.

There is no tangible object that exists for something like fairy coins.

It is benchmarked against the credit of Qiudaomu.

As long as he is brave enough, theoretically Qiu Daomu can print as many fairy coins as he wants.

However, as one of the most important currencies of this era, Qiudaomu can allow a certain degree of over-issuance in order to fight against Mengyuhuaxian, but it must find a way to ensure the credibility of the fairy coin.

Therefore, as the most important purchase object of Fairy Coins, the stock of Skill Cards is crucial.

Knowledge is easy to talk about. There is nothing to be afraid of when seeking Tao Mu’s extensive knowledge.

What we are afraid of is that these research institutes will release fairy coins into the market, and a large number of individual beastmasters will use fairy coins to purchase skill cards.

Skill cards are not something that Qiu Daomu can print whenever he wants. Once they are squeezed out, it will be the end of him.

Faced with the impending shortage of skill cards, Qiu Dao Mu immediately came to Zhou Lu and Hua Huo for help.

Skill cards are obtained by Qiu Dao Mu using his own abilities to refine the non-racial skills of spirit beasts into cards.

And Fireworks now undoubtedly has the richest skill library in the world.

In addition to racial skills, the skills obtained by the [Absorb] skill also include a large number of non-racial skills.

Qiu Dao Mu wants to ask Hanabi for help in printing skill cards.
