Beastmaster: I'm really not a training master

Chapter 913 The Discussion of the Xuanwu Legion
After seeing Sun Hongyang off, Li Qian returned to his room that evening and compiled the information he had on the evolution methods of legendary pets, then sent it out.

What Sun Hongyang chooses is up to him, or rather, to the Xuanwu Legion.

As for more evolutionary paths, the second and third, Li Qian didn't mention them at this stage, and he believed Sun Hongyang wouldn't either.

They've only known each other for a short time, and their relationship hasn't even begun to develop. To make more demands and be greedy for more than they've gained is a very unwise thing to do.

Because doing so would mean potentially offending Li Qian, which is definitely not worth it.

Therefore, Li Qian guessed that Sun Hongyang, or rather the Xuanwu Legion, would definitely buy out more evolution methods of legendary pets from him, but they probably wouldn't ask for it in the short term.

You'll have to wait at least a while, until you've built a closer relationship with them, and until you've evolved a certain number of pets using the legendary pet evolution method you bought out.

Li Qian sent out the information about the legendary pet around 9 p.m. that evening.

Within fifteen minutes of him sending out the information, a discussion quietly unfolded in a massive military base on Satellite II in the Rainbow Galaxy.

Those attending this discussion were all high-ranking figures of the Xuanwu Legion, including the legion commander and the commanders of various armies. Except for a few who were unable to attend, everyone else was present.

Logically speaking, even Sun Hongyang, the uncle of the little girl Sun Ruirui, is not qualified to participate in a discussion of this level.

But this time the situation was different. The matter to be discussed was closely related to him, so he was exceptionally allowed to participate in the discussion.

"Distinguished leaders, before the meeting begins, let me first give you a brief introduction."

Sun Hongyang gave a simple military salute, and then began to recount his trip to the Jiaoyang Cultivation Base: "This afternoon, I went to Lingshui City in Jiangnan Province."

"As instructed by Commander Jiang, I went to the Jiaoyang Cultivation Base and met with Professor Li Qian."

Just as Sun Hongyang mentioned Li Qian, a projection screen appeared out of nowhere in the conference room, directly in front of them.

As you can see, at this moment, the projection screen is densely covered with a lot of information, and on the far right, there is also a half-body photo.

If Li Qian were here, he would immediately recognize that the half-body photo on the projection screen was of himself.

The densely packed lines of content displayed were information related to Li Qian.

If you look closely at this information, you'll find that it's quite complete and detailed, basically covering all of Li Qian's interpersonal networks and his growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood.

Sun Hongyang didn't mention his personal matters, namely his meeting with the little girl Sun Ruirui. He spoke eloquently and continued, "Through these materials, it can be seen that Professor Li Qian is indeed a very monstrous genius cultivator. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one cultivator of this generation."

"What's even more remarkable is that he has already mastered several evolution methods for legendary pets."

At this point, Sun Hongyang turned his head to look again. In the conference room, the content on the projection screen had changed once more. It was the rough information on various legendary pets that Li Qian had sent out.

He glanced at the rough data and continued in a calm voice, "This afternoon, when I met with Professor Li Qian on behalf of the Xuanwu Legion, I already explained our willingness to cooperate."

"Professor Li Qian is a man of great integrity and high moral character. Understanding the difficult situation, he not only agreed to the cooperation but also took the initiative to propose a buyout arrangement."

As soon as Sun Hongyang said this, many army commanders in the conference room started whispering among themselves.

Clearly, they also understood what buying out the evolution method of a legendary pet meant for a legion.

Ignoring the whispers among some of the army commanders, Sun Hongyang continued speaking without stopping, "Now, on behalf of the Xuanwu Legion, I have reached a preliminary consensus with Professor Li Qian. We can choose one of these legendary pets and buy out its evolution method."

As the screen rotated, the general information of the six legendary pets was quickly presented.

The six legendary pets evolve in the following ways: Three-Legged Golden Crow, Nine-Dragon Fusang Tree, Taiwu, Improved Tai Chi Panda, White Jade Divine Phoenix, and Nine-Tailed Cat.

As for the Crimson Lotus Sword Master and the Nightmare Sword Master, Li Qian did not share their information.

There's no way around it; these two legendary pets have almost identical evolution methods, so if they're going to be given away, they'll definitely be given away together.

Considering that there were no plans to provide another legendary pet evolution method in the short term, Li Qian withheld this evolution method.

After explaining the actual situation of his contact with Li Qian, Sun Hongyang tactfully stepped aside, remained silent, and said no more.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room, the others immediately started discussing it.

Commander Jiang, with a stern face, robust physique, and imposing stature, simply watched, letting them discuss and chatter on for about five minutes before finally coughing lightly a few times, "Ahem..."

His soft cough instantly silenced the entire conference room.

This also shows how high his status and how great his prestige were within the Xuanwu Legion.

Commander Jiang glanced at the army commanders below and spoke in a firm and powerful voice: "Tell me, what are your thoughts? Which pet are you planning to choose?"

As soon as he said this, one of the dark-skinned army commanders in the conference room spoke up first, "Boss Jiang, why should we choose? Why not just buy them all out? As for the cost, our Xuanwu Legion can afford it!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Commander Jiang glanced at him sideways without saying anything, but the deeper meaning behind it was already self-evident.

Seeing this, the dark-skinned legion commander awkwardly shut his mouth and said no more.

Sitting opposite the dark-skinned legion commander was a handsome middle-aged man with a rather refined appearance.

The handsome older man spoke up, expressing his thoughts: "Old Shi, your idea is unacceptable. Professor Li has the backing of Shazhou Beast Taming University and is the top trainer of the younger generation. We absolutely cannot use any underhanded methods."

"As for more legendary pet evolution methods, our Xuanwu Legion certainly lacks them, but this matter cannot be rushed and must be addressed gradually."

"Right now, we've only just started to get in touch with them, and the trust between us has only just begun to be built. At this point, it's simply impossible to expect them to share everything they know."

He spoke slowly and deliberately, "Actually, we don't need to go through so much trouble to learn more evolution methods for legendary pets. As long as we build a good relationship with Professor Li Qian and gradually increase our mutual trust, it won't be long before things fall into place."

"Xu Guofeng, I'm transferring Sun Hongyang to you. You'll be in charge of this matter." Commander Jiang didn't say much, but the implication was quite clear.

He agreed with Xu Guofeng's point of view.

After giving the order, Commander Jiang didn't waste any words. He spoke directly and continued, "This matter is settled. Next, you all discuss which legendary pet beast to choose."

As soon as Commander Jiang uttered these words, another voice immediately chimed in, "Tai Chi Panda, right? This kind of pet is too high-quality. Whether it's offense, defense, or crowd control, it's a master." Clearly, a division commander had chosen to strongly support Tai Chi Panda.

This is normal, though; the information about Taichi Panda is there for all to see, and its excellence is obvious to the naked eye.

The man's voice rang out, and he had just expressed his opinion when another voice immediately retorted, "That's not right, that's not right. According to the description in this document, Shazhou Beast Taming University and Mizhou Beast Taming University have already fully mastered this evolution method."

"Next, these two schools will inevitably evolve Tai Chi Panda on a large scale."

"At that time, we will not be able to compete with them in terms of resources, whether it is basic panda beasts or Xisun bamboo shoots."

"Therefore, I think choosing Tai Chi Panda is extremely unwise. It may leave us in the awkward situation of guarding a treasure mountain but being unable to tap into it."

This man spoke eloquently, expressing his thoughts. Then, he changed the subject and offered his suggestion, "I think Taiwu would be a good choice."

"They can switch between eagle and snake forms. If our Xuanwu Legion were to equip itself with these pets on a large scale, our tactical options would certainly become much richer."

"No, I don't think Taiju would be the best choice."

Someone else offered a different perspective: "I think that although the Nine Dragons Fusang Tree is quite difficult to evolve, its strategic value is very special..."

"Not only can it control the field, but it also has a certain recovery and healing ability, making it a kind of pet that our legion is extremely lacking."

"..."

A group of legion commanders began to chatter amongst themselves.

They even started arguing heatedly.

There was no other way but to choose a legendary pet evolution method, as everyone wanted to benefit their own legion.

Seeing the heated argument, Xu Guofeng cleared his throat and then spoke up, "Let's decide on either the Three-Legged Golden Crow or the White Jade Divine Phoenix? And I also suggest that, whichever we choose, we should spare no effort to buy out the other one."

Commander Jiang listened to Xu Guofeng's suggestion, and a look of interest appeared on his face. "Why? Tell me your opinion?"

He was eager to know why Xu Guofeng would express such a view so emphatically.

Xu Guofeng organized his thoughts for a moment before speaking, explaining his reasons: "First of all, there's the number of basic pet beasts. Whether it's the Three-Legged Golden Crow or the White Jade Divine Phoenix, they all evolved from the Crimson Feather Chicken."

"Before Professor Li Qian developed its evolved form, this kind of pet was known as one of the four wastes in the pet world."

Without pausing, he continued, "These pet beasts exist in extremely large numbers, both on the ancestral planet and in shallow dimensional planes. Moreover, their reproduction is very simple, making it easy to accumulate a numerical advantage."

"The three-legged golden crow evolved from the male red-feathered chicken, while the white jade divine phoenix evolved from the female red-feathered chicken."

"If we could buy them all at once, that would be ideal. That way, we wouldn't need to do any special screening when breeding the Red Feather Chicken."

After listening to Xu Guofeng's words, Commander Jiang nodded slightly.

The former's analysis was not based on the interests of his own legion, but on objective facts.

This is something he greatly admires.

He continued to look at Xu Guofeng, still listening attentively, "There's another point, which is my personal speculation: what if it's the offspring of a three-legged golden crow and a white jade phoenix? Wouldn't that lead to even more possibilities..."

"In addition, the Three-Legged Golden Crow's [Nirvana Rebirth] is very powerful. If we make good use of this skill, we can create an undead army."

Xu Guofeng pointed to the projection screen and directly pointed out the key point, "As for the White Jade Divine Phoenix, there's no need to say more. Just look at the [Moon Shadow Celestial Star Array] skill; it's simply a natural team battle pet."

"What's even more remarkable is that its attributes are both demonic spirit and spirituality, making it very versatile."

After listening to Xu Guofeng's words, Commander Jiang fell silent, clearly deep in thought.

After a moment, his eyes sharpened, and he had already made up his mind. "Here's what we'll do, Xu Guofeng. I'll leave this matter to you. If you can manage to buy out both types of pets at the same time, then do your best. If you can't manage that, then try to buy out one of them."

He paused, then added, "The three-legged golden crow will be given priority."

In terms of pet attributes and skill configuration alone, the White Jade Divine Phoenix is ​​undoubtedly superior.

However, before the scale advantage is realized, the three-legged golden crow is clearly the better choice in terms of team combat.

Having received the order, Xu Guofeng once again spoke in a firm and powerful voice, and gave his promise, "Boss Jiang, I know what to do."

"Sun Hongyang." Commander Jiang's gaze shifted and landed on Sun Hongyang.

"Here." Upon hearing this, Sun Hongyang immediately responded respectfully, like a greenhorn.

Commander Jiang looked at Sun Hongyang, his eyes softening. "Did your nephew-in-law say what kind of reward he wants?"

"Data, he wants all kinds of data, with cultivation data as a priority!" Without hiding anything, Sun Hongyang told the truth directly: "Also, information on various relics excavated from dimensional planes or extraterrestrial battlefields!"

“No problem. Tell him that as long as he can provide the evolution methods for the Three-Legged Golden Crow and the White Jade Divine Phoenix, all the cultivation data and relic data of our Xuanwu Legion will be made available to him for free.” Commander Jiang said slowly and deliberately, but his words surprised everyone in the meeting room.

Isn't this sacrifice a bit excessive?

This is the most genuine thought in everyone's heart at this moment in the meeting room.

Even if you want to win over Li Qian, there's no need to pay such a huge price, right?

Although everyone was puzzled, none of them spoke up to question anything.

They believed that since Boss Jiang had done this, he must have had his reasons.

Sun Hongyang didn't consider anything else. Upon receiving the order, he immediately replied, "Okay, Commander Jiang, I will go to Lingshui City with Commander Xu tomorrow to discuss this matter with him."
