Aside from Xiao Bao, whose meeting time was unusually short due to unforeseen circumstances, Qing Chen thanked each of the other friends.

Qingchen wagged its tail in a good mood.

In the blink of an eye, he realized just how powerful Keda was, a power he had previously been unable to fathom.

Before the transformation, he only felt that the blue bird was a little special, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what made it special.

Now, with enhanced perception, when I look at the time of arrival, most of the hazy fog has dissipated.

He could sense that Keda possessed a power within him that was completely different from his own, yet far more unfathomable.

It is dense and endless, like a boundless ocean.

Qingchen felt a slight chill down his spine.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he hadn't been so reckless as to provoke them.

Looking back now, that was probably one of the wisest "just thinking" moments in his snake life.

His transformed, vibrant body rekindled his youthful passion; molten lava surged through his veins, and every cell rejoiced.

He wanted to swim, to leap, to use this brand-new body to write the legend of the Azure Emperor Python.

But the caution and shrewdness he had gained through the vicissitudes of life remained deep within him, something he dared not forget.

He really wanted to take a good look at this extraordinary scenery.

Qingchen raised his head, his golden gaze piercing through the remaining spiritual mist in the cultivation room, as if he could already see the wider and more wonderful world outside.

Seeing the snake naturally blend into the group, Qin Ming felt relieved.

Everything is fine.

Until Qin Ming caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

His gaze shifted from the heartwarming group scene to the walls surrounding the training room.

The array patterns, which were originally radiant and exquisite like works of art, are now dim, broken, and cracked!

Qin Ming's eyelid twitched.

Fine cracks covered the surface of the array pattern like a spider web, and in some places the spiritual light had been completely extinguished, leaving only dried material residue hanging on the wall.

At the core node of the Spirit Gathering Array, the fist-sized spirit stone had turned grayish-white, its spiritual power exhausted, and it would crumble into powder with the slightest touch.

The purification array's patterns were completely eroded by the toxins, turning the originally smooth arcs into distorted curves, and in some places even completely broken off.

Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat.

When he entered, the place was filled with spiritual energy and was magnificent, unlike the scene it is now!

While it's true that there's no time limit for a single instance, this kind of destructive violence is absolutely not included.

Qin Ming scratched his head and began to examine the array patterns on the wall one by one.

He squatted down and ran his fingers along the patterns of the array.

Fortunately, the core structure of the advanced spirit-gathering array was not completely damaged; only a few branches on the periphery were broken, and the central spirit stone had exhausted its energy.

He knows the answer to this question!

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief and continued to identify the remaining features.

His fingers lingered on another array pattern for a moment, sensing the flow of residual spiritual energy—an advanced purification array!

The traces of toxin corrosion are obvious; in some places, the material has been corroded and discolored.

The good news is that the purification array's framework is still intact; only the internal filtration layers need to be replaced.

He knows the answer to this question too!

His gaze continued to move, sweeping over the array patterns.

The constant temperature array is intact.

The soundproof array is slightly damaged and repairable.

The explosion-proof array is severely damaged and requires the replacement of three nodes.

The spiritual energy buffer array has suffered moderate damage and needs replenishment of materials.

As he continued to examine the objects, Qin Ming's mind became clear.

Advanced formations are really good.

In such a violent environment, he was able to survive and be given a chance to make amends. If he were of a lower level, he probably would have exploded on the spot!

Forget about array patterns, I'll blast through the walls too.

Qin Ming rolled up his sleeves and began diligently sewing and mending.

He even paid out of his own pocket to replace the broken materials.

There's no way around it; according to the rules, any damage like this will require compensation once it's taken out of the store.

If you fix it yourself, you can save at least 70% of the compensation cost.

He was working with great enthusiasm when he suddenly realized that he was missing a certain material—warm chalcedony.

But the good news is that he knows where to find them.

"Hey Fatty, can I borrow your second spirit stone from the sunbathing area?"

Little Fatty's cheerful smile faded, and he reluctantly took out his inventory.

A little while later, "Fatty, could you also borrow the water hyacinth filter you use for your fish tank?"

This time, the chubby boy ignored him, rolled his eyes, and angrily said, "Huh!?"

"I know, I know, I'll cover your extra round-trip ticket to Earth." Qin Ming, who had just paid off his debts a few days ago, was full of confidence.

Little Fatty's eyes then darted around, and he slowly took out what Qin Ming needed.

Then it made another "gurgling" sound.

"What? You're about to break through!"

Qin Ming's voice instantly rose in pitch.

Little Fatty was only one step away from the fifth rank, and these days he has made up for the energy he lacked by following the snake.

At this moment, the energy gradually settles, and the opportunity for a breakthrough naturally arrives, which is entirely reasonable.

but--

What will he do about his new debt?

Qin Ming's mind raced. He was only able to carry Xiao Pang because his cultivation level was a whole major level higher than Xiao Pang's, and with the help of the golden pearl!

Qin Ming was silent for half a second, then raised his head and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Fatty, you're about to break through! I'm so happy!"

"However, after careful consideration, I've realized that the borrowing of these materials was all for the sake of the snake, and the snake is related to your 'Black Tortoise Project,' so how about we just let this go?"

Fatty: "..."

……

outside world.

Lu Yunzheng stood with his hands behind his back in front of the monitoring console outside the training room, his brows furrowed.

He was surrounded by a group of team members, each pretending to be busy, but actually secretly observing the commander's expression.

Lu Yunzheng's expression was not good. He spoke irritably, his voice carrying a hint of gritted teeth.

"The commotion has subsided for an hour now, what's that kid still dawdling around in there for? Does he know he's caused a lot of damage and is too scared to come out and face people?"

Having intervened several times and had to deal with the Myriad Armored Turtle and the Xuanming Serpent, Lu Yunzheng, who had been burdened with a lot of unnecessary troubles, was in a far from happy mood.

In the past few days, the energy reserves in the training room were depleted at an alarming rate, and he persevered despite the pressure from the finance minister.

Next came the risk warning of toxin leakage, and he personally set up a sealing formation.

Then there are the Ten Thousand Armor Turtle and the Xuanming Snake, which I don't know why I've taken a liking to. They wander around the area every day, I sometimes run into them, and I sometimes pass by them. Although I didn't force my way in, how could I feel comfortable being stared at by ancient spirit beasts of that strength?

He sent several groups of people to communicate and appease them, but the two just wouldn't leave.

Lu Yunzheng suspected that he had slept at least twenty hours less in the past few days.

The culprit is still lingering inside, doing who knows what.

The finance minister protested his unlimited energy supply a few days ago and sent him a huge maintenance bill and energy bill for the top training room.

Those terrifying numbers made his head spin!

What exactly did Qin Ming do inside?

The resources consumed are almost comparable to those of a near-dominant species nurturing a young ecosystem.

Aside from high-level breakthroughs in spirit beasts, only the activation of top-tier bloodline spirit beasts in their infancy requires such a significant commotion.

The former is impossible given Qin Ming's level.

The latter is his guess.

A top-tier bloodline spirit beast, its bloodline activated in its infancy.

This explains the frantic consumption of spiritual energy, the abnormal leakage of toxins, and even the phenomenon of the Myriad Armor Turtle and the Xuanming Serpent being attracted to guard the outside.

That's why he insisted on going his own way, despite the Finance Minister's protests and questions, to keep the energy supply to Training Room No. 7 running and to prevent anyone from entering and disturbing it.

But as time went by and the bills piled up, Lu Yunzheng began to feel uncertain.

What if he guessed wrong?

Every second is a money-burning ordeal.

Every moment is an adventure.

What if that brat went mad and got injured, and he didn't treat him immediately? Then he'd have to give a bunch of old geezers an explanation later.

Lu Yunzheng's fingers tapped lightly on the monitoring console, making a fine, anxious tapping sound.

Just then, a young team member walked quickly up to him, saluted, and had a very subtle expression on his face.

"Sir, the surveillance footage shows that the damage to Training Room 7 is being repaired, and it is expected to fall below the warning level in half an hour."

The team member who made the report felt it was absurd after saying it.

He stared at the monitor screen again and again, confirming and reconfirming, before daring to bring the data to report.

The repair rate is stable, the state of the array patterns is gradually improving, the spiritual light is shining again, and the energy of the nodes is gradually recovering.

Lu Yunzheng took the report and fell into deep thought.
