Leng Ye was truly straightforward! And incredibly effective!

Even without thinking too hard, he knew obtaining such access privileges to a special department like this was an exceedingly difficult task. Although he couldn't enjoy the resources, having this right and the internal information resources of the Qintian Monitor was the biggest gain.

After Su Ping sent a message back, he switched on his phone, no longer caring about the fishing rod. From the message Leng Ye had sent, he accessed the Qintian Monitor's internal network. Then, after entering his ID number and confirming his pupil through the phone's camera, he fulfilled the entry requirements.

As expected, the most conspicuous option within this internal network was "Current Secret Realms."

After Su Ping clicked it, a huge 3D virtual map of Dragon Nation appeared on his phone screen. With a slight move of his finger, sure enough, the map displayed the number of Secret Realms that had been discovered across Dragon Nation.

However, Su Ping soon noticed something different. Within this internal information from the Qintian Monitor, besides showing the number of Secret Realms in each province, there was also a classification of Secret Realm levels on the side!

This was beyond Su Ping's expectations. After all, the only Secret Realm he had encountered was that of the Fengdu Sword King.

Within the internal network of the Qintian Monitor, Secret Realms were classified into four levels—Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow—based on important criteria such as the realm's spatial size, danger level, resource output, and the level of its former owner. Also, among the discovered and developed Secret Realms, they were differentiated as either recyclable or non-recyclable. The classification of Secret Realms was extremely meticulous.

Indeed! Professional work should be left to professionals. And the work of the Qintian Monitor—that's what you call professional!

After a brief moment of contemplation, Su Ping clicked on the Secret Realms in Jianghai Province.

To his surprise, there were quite a number of Secret Realms scattered throughout Jianghai Province. He saw over twenty in total! To his further surprise, two of them were marked as recyclable, with one reaching Profound Level and the other even Earth Level.

He clicked to check. The Profound Level one, he now saw, was located in a place he was very familiar with: within the Breeder Association.

How had he never noticed before that the Breeder Association housed such a treasure? But Su Ping also knew that information about such places wouldn't be casually disclosed; once discovered, they were properly guarded and managed.

As for the Earth Level recyclable Secret Realm in Jianghai, when Su Ping clicked to check, he received a notification:

[Respected Inspector Su Ping, you do not have the authority to view specific information about this level of Secret Realm.]

Alright then. Su Ping understood that Secret Realms of this level were immensely valuable and significant, not just for a province but for Dragon Nation as a whole. Besides, his target wasn't these precious, resource-producing recyclable Secret Realms anyway. He was after the depleted, desolate Secret Realms!

With this in mind, Su Ping started to examine them one by one.

Jianghai Province was already quite large. The Secret Realms were located everywhere—some in other cities far from Linzhou, and some even in desolate wastelands.

How on earth did the people from the Qintian Monitor find these Secret Realms hidden in the most obscure corners and record them?

Su Ping didn't concern himself with these issues, looking through each one:

[Jianghai Secret Realm 1014 - Non-renewable (Yellow Level)]

[Details: Located at the abandoned Hongwei Steam Factory in the suburbs of Shuiyuan City, Jianghai Province. Discovered: January 25, New Calendar Year 223. Identified as the remnant Secret Realm of Yu Yu, the 'Wrathful Sea King' from the late Liang Dynasty (approx. 300 years ago). Type: Ordinary Secret Realm. Estimated natural dissipation: 14 months. Resources produced: ...]

Shuiyuan City? It seems to be north of Linzhou City, a port city near the Eastern Sea. It's famous for its abundance of aquatic Pet Beasts. I didn't expect there to be one there.

Thinking of this, Su Ping felt a surge of urgency. Discovered in January, and it was already almost November. In just four more months, according to the Qintian Monitor's prediction, it would completely dissipate. Wouldn't I lose my chance to fleece it then? And this was just one such case.

Suddenly, Su Ping no longer felt like fishing.

A quick look showed that time waits for no one! He could only watch helplessly as Secret Realms in other provinces naturally dissipated; there was nothing he could do about those. But he couldn't let the ones in Jianghai Province slip away during this period!

He looked at the Secret Realms in Jianghai Province with furrowed brows and a grave expression. Clearly, apart from those two that could be recycled, the rest were all on the verge of dissipation within this period.

The number of Secret Realms didn't actually surprise Su Ping. It was true that only deceased Emperor-level Beastmasters could generate Secret Realms. Emperor-level Beastmasters were indeed quite rare. But it depended on the perspective. Consider the historical timeline as the X-axis and the geographical area where Beastmasters from Dragon Nation—and even surrounding regions who came to Dragon Nation—died as the Y-axis. Then, even within a single century, the number of Emperor-level Beastmasters who emerged would definitely not be small!

Therefore, the number of Secret Realms didn't surprise Su Ping.

After quickly reviewing all the Secret Realm information, Su Ping let out a long breath.

Among the twenty-plus Secret Realms, what Su Ping hadn't expected at all was that quite a few were within Linzhou City's vicinity—a full six of them! And that was excluding the recyclable Secret Realm. But that made sense. The condition for a Secret Realm's emergence was the location where a Beastmaster had died in the past. In ancient times, Linzhou was a major city in the eastern region. At one point, it was even more prosperous than the Magic Capital. So, it was perfectly normal for there to be so many remnant Secret Realms.

And soon enough, Su Ping had locked on to one of those targets.

It wasn't because this particular Secret Realm was predicted by the Qintian Monitor to dissipate soon; the few Secret Realms in Linzhou City still had several months, or even more than half a year, remaining.

So, time-wise, there was still a comfortable margin. The reason he locked onto this one was purely because it was very, very close. So close, it was almost unbelievable.

[Jianghai Secret Realm 972 - Non-renewable (Yellow Level)]

[Details: Located in the wilderness 10 kilometers north of the Lingxi River station, outskirts of Linzhou City, Jianghai Province. Discovered: April 11, New Calendar Year 222. Identified as the remnant Secret Realm of Niu Ba, the 'Shaking Forest Pig King' from the mid-Liang Dynasty (approx. 500 years ago). Type: Ordinary Secret Realm. Estimated natural dissipation: 22 months. Resources produced: ...]

That's right, in the wilderness forest 10 kilometers north of the Lingxi River station, on the outskirts of Linzhou City.

His own place was the Heart of Wood Cultivation Base near the Lingxi River station. His Heart of Wood Cultivation Base grounds even encompassed a stretch of the Lingxi River. And its location was south of the Lingxi River station. South of the main road, to be precise. This remnant Secret Realm of the so-called 'Shaking Forest Pig King' Niu Ba was practically just across the road from his base, in the undeveloped wilderness to the north. The kind one could find by venturing about ten kilometers into that wilderness. In other words, Su Ping could probably ride Old Sha across the road and find it in less than five minutes.

Thinking of this, Su Ping felt a surge of excitement!

I'll go check it out!
