Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 147 Jiang Henian confronts Jian Qingqiu

Leaving the bamboo grove, Jiang Chen turned and headed towards Jian Qingqiu's dormitory.

The teachers' dormitories at Yingtian Academy are all luxurious, just like Jiang Chen's dormitory, they are all detached villas, twice the size, and each has a small, elegant garden in front.

A detached villa with a garden is expensive elsewhere, but it's very affordable here on Yingtian Island.

After all, for a powerful beast tamer, creating land in water is not difficult.

What's rare is that this place is located right behind the Southern Wall, constantly facing the threat of the sea creatures, so ordinary people wouldn't dare to live here.

Yingtian Beast Taming Academy occupies the inner city of Yingtian Island, an area equivalent to half of Rongcheng, while the school has only tens of thousands of teachers and students, making it a vast area where people can live freely.

As soon as Jiang Chen reached Jian Qingqiu's door, the door opened automatically.

As Jiang Chen entered the entrance hall, a familiar scene came into view.

The decor remains simple, understated, and elegant, primarily white.

There were many decorative paintings hanging on the walls, and some green vines were climbing on the walls.

A beige sofa is placed in the living room facing the fireplace, and behind the sofa is a mahogany bookcase embedded in the entire wall.

The house was very simple, and it didn't seem like it was for a young woman, but rather like the residence of a scholar or intellectual.

Jiang Chen glanced around and saw that Jian Qingqiu had moved almost everything from her dormitory at Ningshui Academy over, and then rearranged it in the same style.

"She's a rather traditional woman," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Jian Qingqiu remained reclining on the sofa, lazily sinking into it, gazing languidly at the book in her hands.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded onto the sofa, and her jade-like feet, as translucent as white jade, were tucked up and placed diagonally on the sofa.

She wore a simple, plain white dress, and her long hair cascaded down her back, like a white lotus quietly blooming.

On the table to the side was a transparent glass tea set, filled with colorful flower tea, the fragrant aroma wafting out and filling the entire room.

The sofa beneath Jian Qingqiu had clearly been used for quite some time; the leather looked old and had some inexplicable creases and scratches.

"Teacher, you must be quite wealthy, why don't you get a new one?" Jiang Chen said, stroking the creases on the sofa.

"As long as it works, that's fine," Jian Qingqiu said calmly.

She really is a traditional woman...

"Principal Jiang Henian just approached me and is preparing to teach me spiritual martial arts techniques."

Upon hearing the words "spiritual martial arts techniques," Jian Qingqiu, unusually, put down her book, straightened up from the sofa, and adopted a serious listening posture.

Oh wow, so there's something you, the homeroom teacher, are interested in too.

Jiang Chen keenly grasped this point and immediately recounted in detail the process of his interaction with Jiang Henian.

Jian Qingqiu listened attentively, her eyes, clear and serene like an ancient pool, reflecting Jiang Chen's image.

After a moment, Jian Qingqiu slowly commented, "This principal is quite good. He genuinely cares for you and is teaching you as his successor. This is consistent with the reputation I heard before."

"Public opinion?"

"The outside world's opinion of this renowned principal of the Heavenly Academy is consistent: a lecherous yet loyal and righteous slovenly old man," Jian Qingqiu replied.

"Huh?" Jiang Chen was taken aback.

He should be loyal and righteous, but what's with this lust?

Is it because he hasn't spent much time with Jiang Henian that he hasn't noticed?

Hearing this opinion, Jiang Chen felt a little strange...

"Seven-Star Knife Fish, this pet is quite good, far exceeding my expectations. You should cherish it." Jian Qingqiu said slowly after taking a sip of her flower tea.

"After all, even I couldn't find such a good pet for you in a short time."

"I understand." Jiang Chen nodded.

Obtaining a top-tier pet like the Seven-Star Knife Fish requires not only a huge investment of resources but also a considerable amount of luck; both are indispensable.

Jiang Henian has given him a truly luxurious gift this time, and he's become incredibly lucky.

"Now that you have the money and your third pet, focus all your efforts for the next few months on becoming a Level 3 Beastmaster!"

"With normal training, you are currently only a level 2 Beast Tamer, and your two pets are only at the mid-elite stage. If you want to advance to a level 3 Beast Tamer, you will probably have to wait until your second or third year of university."

"This is too slow. Go cultivate in the [Sea of ​​Spiritual Power] secret realm. It doesn't matter if you spend all 7 million. You must become a level three Beast Tamer in the next six months!"

How do you know I earned 7 million...?

When Jian Qingqiu spoke her last words, her tone suddenly became somewhat forceful, and she exuded a domineering aura!

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, as this was completely different from the Jian Qingqiu he usually knew.

"Teacher, why the rush?" Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

"Didn't I say before that I was going to explore an ancient underwater city? It should be revealed in six months at the shortest and a year at the most," Jian Qingqiu said in a somewhat serious tone.

Huh? An ancient underwater city?

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment. After he finished the college entrance examination, Jian Qingqiu suddenly disappeared for two or three months, and did not reappear until the start of Yingtian Academy.

Jiang Chen asked Jian Qingqiu where she had gone, and Jian Qingqiu said that she had gone to explore an ancient underwater city.

"Teacher, what do you mean by this birth?" Jiang Chen asked, somewhat confused.

"That underwater ancient city is a secret realm. The sealing power of the secret realm is constantly weakening, so in about half a year, this underwater ancient city will be revealed to the world."

Jiang Chen sensed the underlying meaning in the words and slowly said, "That secret realm is very powerful; even you, Teacher, couldn't enter it?"

"Besides, if even you, the teacher, can't solve this problem, how can I?"

Jian Qingqiu looked at Jiang Chen with her beautiful eyes, which seemed to hold stars in them: "Didn't I explain the secret realm to you before?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Teacher, you said that there are two types of secret realms: one is formed by beast tamers, and the other is formed naturally."

"The five secret realms of Yingtian Academy are: [Crimson Tide Warm Current], [Sea of ​​Spiritual Power], [Thunderous Canyon], [Nebula Pavilion], and [Wind and Rain Tower]."

"Among them, the Red Tide Warm Current and the Thunder Canyon Secret Realm are naturally formed, while the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power, Nebula Pavilion, and Wind and Rain Tower are man-made."

“That’s right,” Jian Qingqiu nodded. “The so-called secret realm is actually a small world hidden in our main world. The storage space of our storage shells is also a kind of small world, but it is the lowest level.”

"Every secret realm has its own rules and secrets of operation, and the rules and secrets of operation of natural secret realms are relatively easy to grasp."

"For example, he can easily see the reasons for the formation and the dangers of red tides, warm currents, and thunderous canyons. But man-made secret realms are different."

"Didn't I tell you what I think is the reason for the creation of the secret realm?" Jian Qingqiu asked, raising her delicate ceramic cup with her slender hand and taking a sip.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Teacher, you said that as the level of our human beast tamers continues to increase, the beast taming space in our minds will not continue to expand."

"But when it expands to a certain extent, it will affect reality and form a secret realm!"

Yes, this is the reason why man-made secret realms were created.

When Jiang Chen first heard Jian Qingqiu say these words, he was completely shocked and thought it was incredible!

When a beast tamer cultivates to a high level, such miraculous changes will occur.

"Man-made secret realms are evolved and transformed from the beast taming space of beast tamers. Therefore, the operating rules of these secret realms are inevitably affected by the beast taming space, and may even be determined by the beast tamer of that beast taming space."

Jian Qingqiu said, "The law of this secret realm, the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power, is that it can continuously absorb spiritual power from the void or the desolate sea, and then automatically extract and purify it into pure spiritual power that can be supplied to the students for absorption."

"Therefore, cultivating within the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power secret realm allows for a cultivation speed several times faster than outside, which is truly astonishing!"

"The Sea of ​​Spiritual Power Secret Realm is also known as the First Secret Realm of Yingtian Academy!"

"However, the extraction and purification of spiritual energy in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Energy Secret Realm takes time and the quantity is limited, but the number of students who want to enter this secret realm for cultivation is unlimited."

"Therefore, in order to ensure that the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power can continue to operate for a long time, the school has to restrict the number of students who can enter it to cultivate, and also limit the time available."

Yes, although Jiang Chen has a quota to enter the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power for cultivation, the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power cannot open its supply to Jiang Chen openly; instead, it is limited to a certain time.

Generally, each person can enter for 10 hours of training per week, and this can be accumulated.

Students can purchase more training time using credits.

This is also why Jian Qingqiu just said that Jiang Chen spent 7 million to raise his cultivation to the third level of Beast Tamer within half a year.

Jian Qingqiu continued, "The law of the [Sea of ​​Spiritual Power] secret realm is to extract and refine spiritual power, the law of the [Nebula Pavilion] secret realm is to temper spiritual power, and the law of the [Wind and Rain Pavilion] is to condense wind and water elements for attack."

"And that ancient underwater city I just mentioned, after two months of exploration, its rule is that Beast Tamers of Level 4 or higher are not allowed to enter, nor are sea beasts of Commander rank or higher!"

"ah???"

Jiang Chen was a little confused. Could there really be such a secret realm law?

"These are the rules set by the owner of the secret realm," Jian Qingqiu shook her head gently, "which is why I cannot enter."

"Teacher, what's in this underwater ancient city secret realm?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

"The most basic and fundamental principle governing the operation of the secret realm is the absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth."

"Based on my investigation, this underwater ancient city has been isolated from the world for at least a thousand years. It must contain many spiritual plants and treasures, and underwater treasures."

"So Jiang Chen, this is a golden opportunity for you, don't let it slip away."

Upon hearing about the spiritual plant treasures and the hidden treasures at the bottom of the sea, Jiang Chen's eyes immediately lit up!

That's right!

This secret realm has absorbed spiritual energy for over a thousand years. In such a long time, even if the spiritual plants growing in the secret realm were just ordinary plants, they would have evolved into spirits under the nourishment of spiritual energy for a thousand years!

Therefore, the first group of people to enter this secret realm will definitely reap the greatest rewards!

Jiang Chen was overjoyed, as this gave him another chance to become rich overnight!

However, it's a bit of a shame that this secret realm only allows level four beast tamers and commander-level sea beasts to enter, while Jiang Chen is currently only a level two beast tamer...

No wonder Jian Qingqiu asked him to cultivate like crazy and advance to the third level of Beast Tamer in the next six months!

This way, he will have the opportunity to compete with those level four beast tamers and commander-level sea beasts for resources and treasures!

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in Jiang Chen's eyes!

After experiencing the thrill of earning 7 million in one night, he really looked down on ordinary small amounts of money!

Now that there's a chance to enter a secret realm and become rich again, Jiang Chen would never miss it!

"Don't worry, teacher. For the next six months, I will not eat or drink, but I will break through to the third level of Beast Tamer!" Jiang Chen vowed.

"Wait, something's not right!"

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly grasped a crucial point and exclaimed in astonishment, "Teacher, you said this secret realm has been around for nearly a thousand years?"

"Hasn't our history as beast tamers only been a thousand years?"

Jian Qingqiu's lips curled into a slight, mocking smile: "Jiang Chen, do you know why your teacher wanted to become a history and archaeology teacher?"

"Does the teacher like history?"

"No, it's because I want to uncover the truth of history myself!"

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Jian Qingqiu's calm eyes: "History is like a girl who can be dressed up and made up as anyone pleases!"

"I have always maintained a critical and dialectical attitude towards what I read in history books."

"And this soon-to-be-revealed secret realm will be a perfect opportunity for me to get closer to the truth!"

The elegant and understated living room fell silent for a moment.

The persistence and fervor that Jian Qingqiu displayed today gave Jiang Chen a sense of getting to know her in a new light.

So this is what my wife is like!

After a moment, Jiang Chen scratched his head and asked, "Teacher, you seem particularly interested in that blank period of history from a thousand years ago."

As a vulgar man who loves money and beautiful women, Jiang Chen felt that Jian Qingqiu might be a bit too full of herself.

Putting aside other matters, the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom is still not optimistic. The various sea creatures of the Desolate Sea are eyeing the Dragon Kingdom covetously, and they will send troops to harass, burn, kill, and plunder whenever they have the chance.

They were just like the Xiongnu, who were extremely poor and vicious in ancient society. When they ran out of money, they would go south and invade the Han Dynasty.

To put it more recently, just a few months ago, the Red Skull Devil Fangfish clan slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Huacheng, and the scene of Lord Gong Hong's sacrifice is still vivid in my mind!

Unfortunately, he lacked the strength; otherwise, Jiang Chen would have gone to seek revenge on his opponent right now!

Jian Qingqiu, this super strong person, spends every day immersing herself in books, studying history, and exploring historical sites.

To put it bluntly, even if we discover that blank period of history from a thousand years ago, what use would it be to the present situation a thousand years later?

Jiang Chen dared not speak, fearing that Jian Qingqiu would slap him to death, leaving his homeroom teacher a widow.

Jian Qingqiu stared at Jiang Chen with her beautiful eyes and asked in return, "Aren't you interested in how the first Beast Tamer came to be? Why are the world's sea levels constantly rising? What exactly was the great catastrophe a thousand years ago?"

"Only by tracing back to the source can we find the right answer; otherwise, we are like rootless duckweed on a vast ocean, never able to find our way forward."

"I see, thank you for your explanation, teacher," Jiang Chen replied with a look of "sincerity" and "appreciation."

The master and disciple chatted casually for a few more minutes before Jiang Chen left to cultivate.

The opening of the underwater ancient city secret realm immediately gave Jiang Chen the motivation to cultivate like crazy.

After Jiang Chen left, the room gradually quieted down again.

However, Jian Qingqiu did not pick up the book again to read it. Instead, she turned around and stared straight at the balcony with her long, narrow phoenix eyes.

The balcony was empty except for a few sunflowers planted by Jian Qingqiu, which were blooming in the morning sun. A few drops of crystal water even remained on the golden stamens.

A gentle breeze blows, and the sunflower's green leaves sway softly, creating a serene and peaceful scene.

"The principal of Yingtian Academy, staring at a woman for so long, is that polite?" Jian Qingqiu said calmly, looking at the empty balcony.

The once peaceful balcony seemed to freeze for a moment, and then an old man with a disheveled appearance, messy hair, and wearing slippers appeared out of nowhere.

This person was none other than Jiang Henian.

He had arrived much earlier, but upon seeing Jiang Chen, he remained still.

Inside the room, Jian Qingqiu remained calm, while Jiang Henian frowned deeply.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, one could see that Jiang Henian's spiritual energy was flowing rapidly, which was a sign that he was about to make a move!

Jiang Henian felt very embarrassed, really embarrassed.

He arrived here ahead of time, less than fifty meters away from Jiang Chen and Jian Qingqiu in a straight line. However, despite his cultivation level, he didn't hear a single word of their conversation!

This is outrageous!

There can only be two explanations: First, Jian Qingqiu possesses an extremely powerful pet beast.

Second, Jian Qingqiu's strength is no less than his!

Regardless of the reason, Jiang Henian felt it was extremely troublesome!

Where did this important figure come from? He almost triggered the alarm array on Yingtian Island just now!

"As expected of the principal of Yingtian Academy, I've only been here for a few days and you've already come looking for me."

Jian Qingqiu parted her red lips and spoke calmly, seemingly oblivious to the tense situation before her.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose here? And what is your relationship with Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Henian stared intently at Jian Qingqiu, his tone extremely serious as he said, "If you don't explain yourself clearly today, you won't be stepping out of Yingtian Island!"

Jian Qingqiu nodded slightly, her phoenix eyes quietly watching Jiang Henian. Then, she slowly released her spiritual power, which covered and filled the entire room in just a few seconds!

The room was brightly lit, but you couldn't see anything!

After a while.

When the room returned to silence, Jiang Henian's eyes widened in shock, then he let out a heavy sigh of relief, looking at Jian Qingqiu with a complex expression: "That kid Jiang Chen is really lucky to have caught your eye."

Jian Qingqiu nodded: "I think so too."

(It seems there are double monthly votes from 8 PM to 12 AM on the last few nights of the month, please give me double monthly votes!)
