Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 739 739 Song Ningran's Request

"It's just a small trick, nothing much." Qin Heng smiled. Looking at Yun Lingsu, he said, "You will also be able to do it in the future. It's not too difficult."

Not too difficult!?

Yun Lingsu felt her mind go blank.

Traversing the Spirit Realm! This was something only the peak of Great Saints, even Saint Kings, could accomplish! Yet in Qin Heng's words, it was just a trivial technique, not hard at all!? From past experience, Qin Heng definitely wasn't the type to boast. The things others thought he was bragging about were actually true! This was just too exaggerated! Qin Heng, Qin Xuantian! Just how powerful was this latest top-ranked individual on the Heaven's List!?

"Alright, Ling Su, don't be so shocked. We should start cooking now." Song Ningran patted Yun Lingsu's shoulder and chuckled. "Let's go. Let the siblings have a chat."

"Ah?" Yun Lingsu seemed to snap back to reality. Suddenly, her expression changed as she exclaimed, "Ah! My dish! It's not burnt, is it?!"

She then flew towards the kitchen.

Song Ningran helplessly shook her head and followed her.

Qin Heng took Qin Yun to sit on the sofa and inquired, "Little Yun, tell me about the integration test you mentioned. What's being checked for integration?"

"I'm not quite sure myself. According to the teacher, the school has only just received the news too," Qin Yun tilted her little head and said. "It seems the officials are carrying out the test. It's an official test, and the school is just cooperating."

"Hmm, I see," Qin Heng nodded slightly.

It seemed Qin Yun didn't know the details of the matter. That was normal; after all, she was just a student. It was unlikely that either the school or the government would explain everything in great detail to her.

「After dinner.」

Qin Yun, Song Ningran, Yun Lingsu, and the others went back to their rooms one after another, while Qin Heng remained in the living room.

He dialed Xue Qinan's number.

"Mr. Xuantian, is there something you need?" Xue Qinan was somewhat surprised. She had not expected to receive a call from Qin Heng at this time, especially since it was already past ten in the evening.

"The government's conducting integration tests in various high schools. You know about it, right?" Qin Heng said calmly. "Tell me about it."

"You're aware?" Xue Qinan was momentarily taken aback, then she had a realization. "I forgot that you also have a younger sister, Mr. Xuantian. Yes, the integration tests will start across the nation in three days."

"They're testing for Spiritual Energy integration?" Qin Heng asked. "By what method?"

Spiritual Energy integration is commonly referred to as the Spiritual Root. This root, to a certain extent, determines a person's cultivation speed and ultimate attainable level. Therefore, testing for Spiritual Energy integration is essentially testing the Spiritual Root.

In his past life, Qin Heng had traveled through the Starry Sky of the universe and had seen many highly developed cultivation civilizations. There, the tests for Spiritual Energy integration were incredibly advanced, so much so that the ancient term 'Spiritual Root' was already obsolete.

However, the methods of testing Spiritual Energy integration are varied and bizarre. Some of them might even harm a person. Qin Heng had to ascertain what method would be used this time; otherwise, he would not allow Qin Yun to participate.

"A blood drop test," Xue Qinan explained. "This time, the West Emperor found an ancient relic in the East Sea and obtained a Secret Technique for testing Spiritual Energy integration."

"Such a testing method is too primitive," Qin Heng shook his head and said. "And leaving behind blood is simply making oneself a live target, too easily exploited. Let me teach you a new method."

Blood is the most suitable substance for casting curse-based Spirit Guides. No one can guarantee that those who come to test the children's Spiritual Energy integration are completely trustworthy.

In fact, Qin Heng didn't need Qin Yun to undergo the test; her aptitude couldn't possibly be poor. However, seeing her enthusiasm, he didn't have the heart to dampen her spirits.

However, the testing method must be safe.

"A new method?" Xue Qinan was startled and said in surprise, "Mr. Xuantian, do you mean you have a better, more advanced testing method?"

She was very astonished.

The Myth Organization had only obtained the method for testing Spiritual Energy integration after the West Emperor's return. It was truly unexpected that Qin Heng would have a better way.

But on second thought, if Qin Heng was suspected to be the reincarnation of an ancient great power who knew some ancient Secret Techniques, then it wasn't strange at all.

So, she listened attentively.

After hearing the method Qin Heng taught, she was incredibly shocked and exclaimed, "There's actually such a method in the world! Such a slight modification, yet it makes such a huge difference!"

"Whether it's the level of safety or accuracy, it's improved so much! Thank you, Mr. Xuantian. Rest assured, I'll notify them immediately to change to this new testing method."

"Good," Qin Heng nodded. He then casually inquired about some subsequent matters regarding the Changping battle's secret realm before hanging up.

He put down his cell phone.

Qin Heng lay comfortably on the sofa, stretching and flexing his joints. He had indeed been quite busy lately and had barely rested.

Though he no longer experienced physical fatigue, subjectively, he still wanted to relax and take it easy.

"Qin Heng, you've been to many places lately, haven't you?" Song Ningran said, carrying a tray over. On the tray was a pot of tea and two teacups, exuding a fragrant aroma.

Moonlight filtered through the window, landing on her face. It was clear as jade, her skin flawless and smooth, making her resemble a fairy from the moon palace. She sat beside Qin Heng, elegantly filled both teacups, and placed one in front of him.

"Have some tea. I brought it back from my hometown in Yu State; I roasted it myself."

Song Ningran's smile was gentle. Watching Qin Heng, her eyes curved into crescents, her gaze soft and rippling like autumn waters, full of tenderness. "It should be quite refreshing."

"Haha, sure." Qin Heng picked up the teacup. He first inhaled its fragrance, then savored the taste. After a moment, he finished the tea and laughed, "Excellent tea! Ran Ran, is something on your mind?"

"Yes," Song Ningran didn't hide it. "You know I come from the mountains in Yu State. Over there, they always feel girls should marry early and that schooling isn't much use—"

"Just now, my mother called. She wants me to go back this weekend. She's found a blind date for me in the city and wants me to meet him."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Qin Heng chuckled. "No problem. I'd like to see what kind of person they think is worthy of being set up with a friend of mine."

He truly considered Song Ningran a friend. Since she was in trouble now, he would naturally lend a hand.

"I guess so," Song Ningran nodded, a slight blush on her cheeks. "However, there's another reason. I've heard that in the mountains near our home, there have often been loud booms, and some people have seen dragons soaring through the clouds."
