Chapter 509: Chapter 287: Researching the Star Spirit Fish, the Magic Meeting at the Great Golden Light Temple!

Zhou Xuan and Zhang Qiudao, after successfully achieving Foundation Establishment,

were released by Su Ping from Pot Cave Heaven, returning to the real world.

Then, the extraordinary powers inadvertently displayed by these two Foundation Establishers

soon attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives, triggering a series of chain reactions.

However, Su Ping didn’t care about these trivial matters, leaving Zhou Xuan and the others to handle them on their own.

There was only one principle: don’t be taken advantage of!

If they did run into an insurmountable obstacle that Foundation Establishment couldn’t handle, then let the Golden Core Spiritual Beasts step in.

However, the higher-ups on Water Blue Star clearly weren’t foolish enough to openly resist the spokespersons of such a transcendent power as Zhou Xuan’s.

The main targets of various large and small powers were still those lucky ones who lacked a transcendent power background but had some talent and had entered the door.

To become transcendent and even prolong life, many had invested a great deal of manpower and resources.

Outside of the Transcendent Cooperation Project, related Transcendent Research Institutes sprang up like mushrooms after rain, almost never lacking financial support.

Within these institutes, the top echelons of various powers were, during a certain period, simultaneously receiving invitations from their respective forces.

Huaqi Country, one o’clock in the morning.

In an underground secure meeting room,

the Great Commander of Huaqi Country had been woken from his sleep to participate.

As an old man plagued with age-related illnesses, he could have chosen not to attend such operational meetings,

just as he usually did by listening to the reports and then signing the documents.

But the currently old Great Commander was not a fool; in his younger days, he was an elite of the Empire, familiar with all manner of strategic plays.

Thus, knowing the importance of this meeting, he harshly reprimanded the arrangements for his absence,

insisting on participating in this midnight conference.

In the meeting room, the experts and professors in attendance were somewhat uneasy.

Some even worried whether the human experiments they were secretly conducting had been discovered.

This unease persisted until they saw the Great Commander arrive, which brought them some relief.

Although they were researchers, having climbed to their current positions and receiving such vast resources annually, they naturally weren’t political neophytes.

They knew if this meeting involved the scandals behind them, the Great Commander definitely wouldn’t be participating personally.

He would have left on a vacation to avoid implications.

The experts and professors calmed down.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became much more relaxed and pleasant,

which caused a moment of surprise for the few deputies who were actually chairing the meeting, and they carefully glanced at the Great Commander, who couldn’t help but doze off, not expecting his presence to have this effect!

"Ahem!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are the finest scientific research administrators of Huaqi Country,"

"with rich project management experience."

Seeing that all the important figures had arrived, the Deputy Minister in charge of science and technology began chairing the meeting, first praising the attending experts and professors.

Then he got down to business and turned on the projector.

Suddenly, a three-dimensional projection appeared in the center of the conference table.

In the projection, there were shockingly two blue, semi-transparent fish, one larger than the other.

"Transcendent fish?"

An expert exclaimed:

"Which aquaculture farm produced these? There’s actually a farm that cultivated fish with such genetic mutations!"

"This shouldn’t be a product of our native Water Blue Star, should it?"

After having recovered their senses, another speculated, considering they were all summoned here, thought further.

"Minister, are these fish strains provided by a transcendent force?"

Several experts guessed the truth and turned their gaze towards the Deputy Minister who had just spoken.

The Deputy Minister nodded slightly, waited until all eyes were on him, and then spoke:

"These fish are called Starlight Fish."

"They come from the best friends of Huaqi Country."

"According to our friends, Starlight Fish can absorb light sources and release Spiritual Energy essential for cultivation."

"This is extremely important for resource-scarce Water Blue Star."

"So..."

The Deputy Minister paused before continuing;

"Water Blue Star needs you, and Huaqi Country needs you."

"Contribute your wisdom, and create the most suitable light source environment for these Starlight Fish to produce Spiritual Energy!"

As the Deputy Minister said this, his bright and sharp eyes became somewhat intimidating:

"I have dealt with you all more than once."

"I believe in your capabilities!"

"And please ensure there are no misunderstandings in this matter!"

"This time, it’s unprecedented in significance for you and for us!"

"If we succeed, our cooperation with our friends can deepen, and both Huaqi Country and we ourselves can reap real benefits!"

Hearing the Deputy Minister’s emphasis, the experts and professors looked at each other and affirmed that they would do their utmost.

An expert responsible for top-secret research even stated that they understood the importance of the matter and would do everything possible to accomplish this research task for their own future.

The Deputy Minister nodded slightly, and then announced another heavy piece of news:

"I believe you can do it!"

"However, I must remind you that aside from Huaqi Country,

"there are twelve other forces that have obtained Starlight Fish for research."

"They must also be preparing for this research project now."

"You all..."

As the Deputy Minister’s words trailed off,

hearing they had international competitors, these anxious experts and professors stood up immediately,

expressing their willingness to start work right away, sparing no moment in completing the research on the Starlight Fish!
