Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 183 A Corner of Na Du Tong

Bincheng, the headquarters of Nadutong.

The phone went dead. Zhao Fangxu held the receiver for a long time before shaking his head and smiling helplessly.

He knew Han Yun too well. This guy seemed to be discussing things, but in reality, he was taking things step by step and had already planned out the path ahead and behind.

However, what he said does make sense. Keeping the bronze galloping horse in the Northwest branch is indeed an unstable factor, consuming resources and posing considerable risks.

If it could be subdued and guided by someone like Han Yun, turning harm into treasure, it would perhaps be the best outcome for both the company and the thousand-year-old spirit itself.

"This kid..."

Zhao Fangxu muttered something, but his finger had already pressed the internal communication button: "Help me connect with Old Liu from the Cultural Relics Management and Abnormal Items Supervision Department. Also, prepare a risk assessment and feasibility report on the transfer and supervision of an abnormal bronze item, number: Long A-335, tentatively named: Bronze Galloping Horse Spirit. Set the level to urgent."

Han Yun's "plan" is likely to work.

Inside the warehouse of the Northwest branch, the atmosphere remained somewhat delicate.

The employees looked at the bronze galloping horse, which stood quietly with faint arcs of electricity flowing around it but no longer exuding any violent energy, and then at the cables that had been miraculously reconnected on the ground. For a moment, they were at a loss, unsure of how to deal with this "little ancestor".

Should we continue to proceed with extreme caution, as if facing a formidable enemy? Or... should we try to treat it as a special "colleague"?
As the person in charge, Ma Debao composed himself, took a few steps forward, and carefully observed the state of the bronze galloping horse. Seeing that it showed no signs of agitation, he cleared his throat and tentatively spoke.

"Um... Ma... uh, senior?"

The bronze horse's head turned slightly, its gilded eye sockets, filled with dazzling white light, looked at him. Ma Debao clearly felt a scrutinizing gaze fall upon him, causing him to straighten his back involuntarily.

"I apologize for everything I've done before, it was all part of my duty," Ma Debao said, forcing a smile. "You see, from now on..."

The bronze horse raised its hoof and gently stepped on the ground, making a clear, metallic sound, as if to indicate that it understood. Then it returned to its standing position, and the thunderous energy around its body slowly receded, as if it were immersed in some kind of cultivation or rest.

After the stubborn restlessness accumulated over a thousand years dissipated, what was revealed was a calm composure that had weathered many storms, as well as the pride that belonged to the dragon-horse.

Ma Debao breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the communication had been effective. He turned to the employees, waved, and whispered, "Restore normal monitoring levels. Do not disturb unless absolutely necessary. Chairman Han should have already made arrangements."

The crowd relaxed slightly, but their gazes toward the bronze galloping horse had shifted from pure fear and headache to a mixture of awe and curiosity.

Han Yun did not stay at the Northwest branch for long. The next day, he received a call back from Zhao Fangxu.

"Chairman Han, you've really given me a tough problem." Zhao Fangxu's voice carried a hint of fatigue, but more than that, it was one of relief.

"The meeting above has been held for a long time, after all, it involves the national treasure itself, which is of extraordinary significance. However, given that firstly, it has developed uncontrollable spirituality, and conventional methods are difficult to effectively contain and manage it; secondly, you have successfully tamed it and promised to guide it towards good and use it for the right purpose; and thirdly, the merits you have made before... it is finally specially approved that the bronze galloping horse spirit be entrusted to your personal supervision and guidance for cultivation."

Han Yun's smile deepened: "Thank you for your help, Chairman Zhao."

"Don't thank me yet!"

Zhao Fangxu's tone turned serious. "There are conditions. First, the bronze galloping horse itself must remain in the special warehouse of the Northwest Branch, or be stored in a safe location designated by the company. You cannot take it out of the supervision area—of course, we don't care if its spirit follows you."

"Second, you need to submit regular reports to headquarters regarding its status and progress in its training. Third, when necessary, the company has the right to mobilize its resources to assist in handling related matters." "Finally, and most importantly, you must ensure that it never poses any threat to public safety or social stability! You will be fully responsible for any problems that arise."

"It makes sense."

Han Yun readily agreed: "I accept all these conditions."

His original intention was not to possess the bronze sculpture. The so-called national treasure was of no use to him. What he wanted was the spirit itself, which had existed for thousands of years. The spirit accompanying him was enough.

"That's good. I'll have someone deliver the relevant documents to you and the Northwest branch as soon as possible."

Zhao Fangxu paused, his tone softening with a hint of curiosity, "Speaking of which, what are you planning to do with it? You can't have it by your side every day, can you? Although spirits are invisible to ordinary people, it's still too conspicuous."

Han Yun smiled slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void, and saw the dragon horse standing quietly in the warehouse, full of spirit.

"Does Chairman Zhao know that a 'wild horse' needs a 'monkey of the heart' to tame it and lead it to the Spirit Platform Mountain and the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars?"

Zhao Fangxu was taken aback on the other end of the phone, then laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, what kind of cryptic talk are you spouting now? Bringing up Journey to the West! Alright, alright, you know what you're doing. Anyway, this thing is yours now, don't let it cause any more trouble!"

"rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, Han Yun murmured to himself, "The saddle and bridle are ready. Next... it's time to find you a 'companion'."

He was referring to more than just an ordinary companion. A restless mind, though seemingly contradictory, can also be the best whetstone and fellow traveler on the path of spiritual practice.

Han Yun once again stepped into the special warehouse of the Northwest Branch.

As if sensing something, the bronze galloping horse spirit's subtle arcs of electricity around its body lit up slightly, and its pair of bright white, gilded eyes looked towards the doorway, conveying a clear sense of closeness and anticipation in its spiritual fluctuations.

Following behind Han Yun, Ma Debao witnessed this scene, and his last remaining doubts vanished. This bronze galloping horse spirit had truly recognized its master.

Han Yun walked up to the bronze galloping horse spirit, reached out his hand, but did not touch the cold bronze body. Instead, he used his sword finger to lightly touch its forehead.

Then, as if his fingertips were attracted to something, as Han Yun slowly pulled his fingers backward, a pure white celestial horse spirit body with its four hooves treading on clouds and thunder was pulled out of the bronze galloping horse body.

The only thing left in place was a bronze galloping horse with one hoof on a swallow, three legs in the air, head held high and tail raised, in a galloping posture, with a strong body, vivid spirit, and lifelike appearance.

Immediately, Han Yun flicked his sword finger, severing the connection between the spirit and the bronze galloping horse, and used his inner energy to repair the damage to both.

"Manager Ma,"

Han Yun turned around, his tone calm: "This matter is settled. I will take the bronze galloping horse spirit away for now, but its original body will remain here. Just keep it under strict guard in accordance with company regulations. Headquarters will handle the follow-up procedures."

"Yes! Don't worry, Chairman Han! I guarantee everything will be foolproof!" Ma Debao replied quickly, his attitude extremely respectful.
