Whether it's due to the objective factor that his talent truly needs a cooldown period, or the subjective factor of being unhappy and not wanting Huo Lin to get his way, Qin Ming could only give the same answer at this moment.

His face was stern, cold, and unyielding: "You can't go."

"Ah~~"

Huo Lin dragged out the melody, the whole beast slumped limply on Qin Ming's shoulder, its tail drooping down, the fluffy tips brushing against Qin Ming's cheek and neck intermittently, like an affectionate tease, yet also carrying a hint of deliberate provocation.

Unable to concentrate due to the disturbance and obstructed vision, Qin Ming finally lost his temper and grabbed the culprit, "tail."

He deftly flipped open his notebook with one hand, his tone calm and even: "I remember we haven't finished today's training. Move aside, don't cause trouble."

"Awooo—" Fire Kirin grumbled in dissatisfaction, yet remained self-righteous, "Why bother with training! Eat well and sleep well, and your strength will naturally increase!"

Qin Ming's lips twitched uncontrollably, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

What else could he say to this "little tyrant" who was oblivious to the hardships of life?

Even if Huo Lin couldn't decipher the helplessness in Qin Ming's eyes, his beast-like instincts were enough for him to sense something. He abruptly pulled his tail back, raised his head, and said with an arrogant air of being looked down upon, "You don't believe me?"

Before Qin Ming could respond, he slashed through the air with his claws—

A faint glint of light appeared, and several objects came into view.

【Spirit Refining Fruit】: It has a lustrous color and emits a faint spiritual energy fluctuation, and has the effect of refining spiritual energy.

Huo Lin's review: Sweet and sour, refreshing.

【Jiao meat】: Taken from the evil dragon in the Lingyuan Abyss, it is said to have the effect of prolonging life.

Huo Lin's review: The meat is delicious and chewy.

[Meditation Cushion]: Woven from the branches of an ancient spiritual tree, it is warm to the touch and has the effect of calming the mind and slowly enhancing one's strength.

Huo Lin's review: Comfortable to sleep on, durable material.

Qin Ming: "..."

These rare spiritual materials are not focused on improving strength, but rather on "eating well and sleeping well"?

Qin Ming hadn't tried Huo Lin's abilities, so he couldn't comment. But given Huo Lin's generosity, what could he do?

"You're absolutely right!"

Fire Scale wagged its tail contentedly and continued to rummage.

Finally, Qin Ming looked at the four portions of each item before him, clearly prepared with great care, and paused for a moment. Suppressing his surprise, he tentatively asked, "These... are for me and my companions?"

"Hmph!" Huo Lin turned his head, his tone arrogant. "What I've taken out, do you think I'd take back?"

Qin Ming's gaze swept over the various sizes of futons, and he said thoughtfully, "Do you... have any larger futons? I'd like to try them too... If they don't fit, we can make a cushion or something."

Huo Lin turned around, and Jin Tong stared at Qin Ming for a few seconds. He remembered that although Qin Ming was not wealthy during this period, he had tried his best to treat him with good things... This kind of kindness was rare.

He thought for a moment, then with a flick of his wrist, pulled out a few more items from the inventory.

Looking at these priceless treasures that Huo Lin had casually tossed on the ground, Qin Ming sighed inwardly, realizing that he had truly underestimated this guy's wealth.

He carefully put his things away, then scooped the Fire Scale from his shoulder into his arms and skillfully began to pet it, before walking outside.

The comforting stroking made Huo Lin half-close his eyes, almost lost in the moment.

Halfway there, he suddenly snapped out of his daze, looked up, and asked, "Where are we going?"

Qin Ming continued working, his tone gentle yet tactful: "Go do the academy's mission."

Huo Lin tilted his head to the side, and suddenly felt a void in his heart.

He's been busy all day and even emptied his savings. What's he after?

Why am I feeling a little upset?

...However, Qin Ming's grooming skills seem to have improved again.

Forget it.

Under Huo Lin's sometimes confused, sometimes resentful gaze, Qin Ming methodically arranged the training of Keda, Cangxuan, and Xiaopang, while also making reasonable allocations of the "Huolin Brand" resource subsidies he had just received.

To be honest, Qin Ming found the dragon meat difficult to chew, but the Spirit Tempering Fruit was indeed delicious, with a sweet and sour taste.

He casually collected the fruit pits and gave them to Cang Xuan to encourage and nurture, then carefully planted them in Little Fatty's cave. Watching all this, Qin Ming felt a warm glow in his heart and a deep sense of peace.

As soon as the talent cooldown ended, he didn't delay and immediately took Fire Scale back to Blue Star.

……

As soon as it landed, it sensed the completely different rules of heaven and earth and the almost vacuum-like spiritual energy environment compared to the Lingwu Continent. Huo Lin squinted curiously to perceive its surroundings.

His expression changed several times until he noticed that the faint aura of favor from heaven and earth on Qin Ming's body had become clear and strong here!

He was so shocked that his voice cracked: "Wow! Qin Ming, you wouldn't happen to be the favorite son of this world, would you?!"

Qin Ming was taken aback by his sudden excitement: "Didn't you say before that it wasn't very useful, just a matter of luck?"

"How can that be the same!" Huo Lin jumped onto the table in front of Qin Ming, gesturing wildly. "In the Spirit Martial Continent, people like me, my brother, and those old guys all get some kind of favor, like everyone has a 'regular member,' the effect is mediocre. Like when my brother beat me up... cough cough, sealed me, everyone had that favor, so it was practically the same as not getting it at all!"

He changed the subject, his eyes shining brightly as he stared intently at Qin Ming: "But it's different here! This place... I feel like you're unique here, right? So wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want here?"

"How can you be so sure that I'm the only one?" Qin Ming himself wasn't sure either.

Huo Lin tilted his head and analyzed, "The beasts within my perception range are all ordinary animals that act on instinct. Coupled with this environment devoid of spiritual energy, it's impossible for them to develop intelligence!"

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and his voice became sharp and piercing:

"Could it be... that all the humans here are as 'perverted' as you?!"

Qin Ming was so shocked by his telepathic transmission that his scalp tingled: "Stop! You're overthinking it! It shouldn't be that bad!"

Even so, his heart began to race involuntarily because of Huo Lin's speculation.

"So... according to you, I'll have exceptionally good luck here? Even... my wishes will come true? My words will become law?"

Huo Lin pondered seriously for a long time, and under Qin Ming's expectant gaze, answered frankly:

"I don't know, it's not like I have that privilege~"

Although Huo Lin provided a lot of clues and he could experiment himself, the correct research direction was already invaluable, but... Qin Ming still couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Aww, I smell something delicious! It's that noodle soup! Qin Ming, do you remember it?"

"I don't know, could you explain more clearly?"

Just as Huo Lin was jumping up and down in a panic, almost leaping into the opposite building, Qin Ming seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Oh, you mean that? It seems like we've run out of food at home. Don't worry~"
