Chapter 352 The Qilin Clan
The next instant, the Blazing Sky Qilin approached the two like a flame, lowering its head until its nose almost touched the box.
Fortunately, it reacted quickly, raising its head to prevent the fiery aura emanating from its body from affecting the Qilin Nourishing Ginseng and diminishing its medicinal properties.
Blazing Sky Qilin suddenly looked at the two of them, his voice filled with joy: "Good lads! What do you want to exchange? Even if it takes me to the heavens and the earth, I will get it for you!"
Zhong Cai originally only intended to ask for the corresponding medicinal materials, but now she suddenly changed her mind and looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan immediately understood.
The Qilin Nourishing Ginseng has such wonderful effects only on Qilin. For human cultivators and other beasts, it only has a certain nourishing effect. Its value is highest only for the Qilin race.
Therefore, the pricing of this thing is also quite subtle.
If you encounter the Qilin Clan, you can raise the price however you want. But if you encounter other races, you might only sell it for the price of an ordinary level nine rare medicine. So unless you are in a hurry to sell it, anyone who gets this item will try to keep it and use various channels to contact the Qilin Clan to try to sell it for a high price.
So, the two of them had an idea.
Zhong Cai asked with a smile, "I wonder if your clan has any top-grade level nine fire-attribute refining materials?"
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan now possess the top-grade level nine refining material of Yin-Yang attribute—namely, the mirror fragment—and all they lack is a refining material of the same level with the five elements attribute.
Adding to the fact that Wu Shaogan had an exchange slot in the Star Arena before, there are four options left – any four are acceptable.
Although not all members of the Qilin clan are fire-attributed, the Blazing Sky Qilin is. Furthermore, because the Blazing Sky Qilin currently governs the Qilin clan, and influenced by its fiery nature, the clan produces the most fire-attribute Qilin, and their living environment is also predominantly fire-attribute.
Therefore, if you were to ask about their race, you would naturally ask about their fire attribute.
One Qilin Nourishing Ginseng can be exchanged for a piece of top-grade level nine refining material, so their values are roughly the same.
At the ninth level, the price of top-grade refining materials is far beyond that of other levels.
Not only are they extremely rare, but most of them are collected by Tongtian and refined into level nine Xuan artifacts, which are almost never circulated among the outside world.
Whenever there's an opportunity, the Zhong-Wu couple seize it.
·
Blazing Sky Qilin hadn't expected that the two human brats would want this, and quickly recalled his inventory.
There seems to be... materials of this level of refinement, right?
but……
The Blazing Sky Qilin looked conflicted and asked, "I don't have any fire-attribute items here, but I do have a water-attribute one. How about I add some other resources and we trade? I'll keep an eye out for this item in the future. If you come across it, you can trade it for a fire-attribute item at the equivalent value of the water-attribute one."
Zhong Cai was taken aback, but then a surge of joy filled her heart.
Water and fire attributes are the same to them! Either one is fine!
Anyway, he will be trading other Five Elements refining materials in the Land of All Beings in the future, so there is no need to hide it now.
Zhong Cai laughed and said, "Water attribute is fine, other five elements are also fine." Then he sighed, "If I had known that you had the same resource with the opposite attribute, I would have just said so. I have caused you to worry about me."
Upon hearing this, the Blazing Sky Kirin was even more delighted, and the light on its scales became even more dazzling, with its temperature rising rapidly.
It said happily, "Then let's trade directly! Don't worry, kid, you won't lose out!"
Zhong Cai said sincerely, "I have complete trust in the promise of the Qilin clan."
Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai worked in perfect unison, handing over the box immediately, seemingly unconcerned that the Blazing Sky Kirin might refuse to provide the item in exchange.
The Blazing Sky Qilin would keep its promise. Firstly, these two human children were great benefactors to their clan, and giving them more resources would not be enough to express their gratitude, so how could they possibly renege on their promise? Secondly, they felt that these two human children were very lucky. If they interacted more, perhaps they would encounter other treasures that would be useful to the Qilin clan in the future.
The Qilin clan is incredibly wealthy, and the Blazing Sky Qilin isn't worried about "spending money" at all; it's only worried that it has countless resources that it simply can't exchange for.
Blazing Sky Qilin vaguely thought that although it was mostly wishful thinking, perhaps in the future, through the two human children, their Qilin clan could still find out the whereabouts of Crimson-Eyed Sky Qilin.
Although the Qilin clan can continue smoothly with the Fiery Sky Qilin, if the Crimson-Eyed Sky Qilin can also be cultivated, then the two types of Qilin can successfully combine, and the next generation may not need to be so worried - perhaps they can successfully breed a new generation of special Qilin!
Therefore, it's still important to maintain good relationships.
·
Blazing Sky Qilin readily agreed and also made a deal with the couple to trade the Qilin Nourishing Yuan Ginseng, promising to provide them with top-grade water-attribute refining materials.
Then, the Blazing Sky Kirin waited a while longer.
Zhong Cai knew what the other person was thinking, and couldn't help but chuckle. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Senior must be quite anxious, so I won't keep you any longer. Please take care."
The Blazing Sky Kirin knew it wouldn't be stopped this time, and it felt a little disappointed.
But soon, it summoned the Gate of All Beings and hurriedly returned to its clan to raise its offspring!
·
The Eastern Continent.
The Qilin clan, deep within the Holy Spirit Mountains.
Within this vast valley lie fertile mountains and forests, exotic flowers and rare plants, and countless waterways meandering through it.
Many caves have been carved into the surrounding mountain walls, and scales can be seen swiftly passing between the nearby mountains.
In the past, Qilin of various colors and shapes would sit or lie down lazily in various places, showing a quiet and leisurely scene.
But at this moment, things are different.
On one side of the valley, a flock of incredibly powerful giant birds were attacking several Qilin in the sky.
Countless Qilin rose from the clouds, tearing and fighting with the overwhelming giant birds.
The battle was extremely fierce, with the roars of beasts and the chirping of birds blending together, and both sides cursing each other incessantly.
"You Luan Que clan, instead of currying favor with the Phoenix, you dare to attack our Qilin clan! You are truly audacious!"
"Do you think we don't know? Your ancestors have been missing for countless years. At most, they're eighth-tier Qilin, and they've all gone out hunting. Who do you think you are? Once we've devoured you all and headed straight for the deep mountains, what can you do to us then?"
"Don't underestimate my Qilin clan! Even if it's just us here, you'll all have to leave your lives behind!"
"Hahaha! The Qilin clan still thinks they're living in their glorious ancient days!"
During the battle, countless giant birds suddenly dispersed, and an even larger bird slowly emerged from among them, its aura terrifying.
No wonder the Luanque clan dared to come and cause trouble like this; it turns out their clan has actually cultivated an eighth-tier powerhouse!
Currently, the Qilin clan only has seventh-tier Qilin left. After being intimidated by this eighth-tier Luan Que, they are naturally somewhat constrained, and their movements are not as agile as before.
The eighth-tier Luan Que suddenly let out a sharp cry, then swooped down and lunged straight at the strongest and youngest of the Qilin!
Even though the seventh-tier Qilin dodged very nimbly, its speed was far inferior to that of the eighth-tier Luan Que, so it naturally failed to avoid the attack and had a large chunk of scaled flesh torn off by the Luan Que's sharp claws.
The seventh-tier Qilin was also a seasoned warrior. Even though it was in great pain, it forced itself to remain silent so as not to disturb the other members of its race who were fighting. Instead, it tried its best to calmly deal with the eighth-tier Luan Que.
The eighth-tier Luan Que quickly devoured the torn flesh and blood, its eyes revealing greed. It cried out again, its speed suddenly increasing, and charged towards the delicious seventh-tier Qilin once more!
The seventh-tier Qilin sensed an incredibly terrifying killing intent approaching and tried its best to dodge. However, even using its most powerful methods, it was still enveloped by the killing intent. Its supposedly agile movements didn't allow it to escape very far, and it was about to die in its opponent's mouth—
The next instant, an even more terrifying pressure spread.
The oppressive force was so strong that it raised the temperature of the surrounding mountains to an extremely terrifying level. The space itself seemed to be distorted by the scorching flames, and countless eerie, boiling sounds seemed to be ringing in the ears of countless living beings.
Horrible, extremely terrifying.
It was so terrifying that the eighth-tier Luan Que's sharp claws were almost digging into the neck of the seventh-tier Qilin, but it was suddenly suppressed by this pressure, preventing it from digging any further.
The seventh-tier Qilin remained motionless under the oppressive aura, but suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, followed by uncontrollable elation!
It's our ancestors!
Our ancestor has returned!
Not every member of the Qilin clan knows about the Land of All Living Beings, but the outstanding Qilin of the Blazing Sky Qilin lineage do.
This seventh-tier Qilin is one of the key trainees for the next generation, and is also a descendant of the Blazing Sky Qilin. Although this generation consists of ordinary Qilins, because they are direct blood relatives of the Blazing Sky Qilin, their bloodline is quite remarkable, and their speed of strength improvement is much faster than that of other Qilins...
·
Under such pressure, even the eighth-tier Luan Que were suspended as if welded to their feet. How could the other Luan Que possibly show off their power?
In just a moment, these sparrows were "locked up," and in the next instant, each of them seemed to have been struck by something, suffering very serious internal injuries.
In an instant, most of the oppressive aura disappeared.
In other places, the Luan Que fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, only to be trampled to death by the countless Qilin running on the ground, becoming food reserves for their own clan.
The remaining pressure still deterred the Luan Que that had almost killed a Qilin.
For example, the eighth-tier Luan Que in front of the seventh-tier Qilin was still unable to move.
The other Qilin, whose lives were threatened, could no longer feel any pressure, so they all leaped up and, either alone or in combination with several other Qilin, dealt with the Luan Que in front of them.
A seventh-tier Qilin couldn't defeat an eighth-tier one.
Just as the Qilin was wondering what to do, a fiery Qilin suddenly appeared beside it!
It was the Blazing Heavenly Qilin.
With a single kick, the Fiery Sky Kirin sent the eighth-tier Luan Que flying backward, a large hole torn in its chest and terrifying flames swirling around it. It was reduced to ashes as it flew backward.
They died and were reduced to ashes—no, the ashes were scattered in mid-air, leaving not a trace behind.
·
The battle should have been extremely fierce, and the Qilin clan should have suffered greatly.
This group of Luan Que must have been watching the Qilin Clan for a long time, but they have always acted harmlessly and lived on the outskirts. In addition, the clan doesn't have a good reputation, and other clans hardly communicate with them. So, while the leaders of other clans know that the Blazing Sky Qilin is still alive, this group of Luan Que arrogantly thinks that the Qilin Clan is doomed.
Therefore, the other clans felt that it was a win-win situation if the Luanque clan, such fools, were causing trouble for the Qilin clan, and if they could reduce the Qilin clan's "beast mouth" with their own strength!
They certainly wouldn't stop it at all.
Luan Que then came over to attack.
However, the Blazing Sky Qilin Clan returned too timely—it was originally supposed to return because one of its direct blood relatives had died, giving it a premonition. But now, the Qilin Clan not only did not suffer a major loss of strength, but also received a large flock of high-level Luan Que food.
After the numerous Qilins digested the corpses of the Luan Que clan, they were bound to increase their strength to some extent.
·
The battle was over, and the Qilin dragged Luan Que's corpse, preparing to collect it.
At the same time, all the Qilin looked at the Blazing Sky Qilin that had saved their entire clan with utmost reverence, their hearts and eyes filled with admiration.
The Blazing Sky Qilin stood near the many Qilin, resembling a small hill, looking lovingly at its clan of beasts.
At that moment, it spoke, its voice booming like a bell, echoing in the ears of all the Qilin.
"Among its many descendants, each Qilin contributed a bottle of the highest grade Qilin blood and one hundred remaining scales."
“The different attributes are stored in containers.”
"For all my direct descendants, ordinary blood is unnecessary; each of you shall contribute a drop of your essence blood!"
These words caused an uproar among the Qilin clan.
"Ancestor, why do you suddenly want our blood?"
"We have no objection, but what's the use of this blood?"
"Ancestor..."
These voices, while not filled with doubt, were none of them doubtful.
After all, for ordinary Qilin, losing a bottle of blood is nothing, and the scales can be replaced by those that have shed before. However, the direct descendants of the Blazing Sky Qilin do lose some of their essence blood, but they have a lot of essence blood, so a mere drop can be fully recovered in a few months to a few years, which is not a big deal.
They always felt that their ancestors wanted this blood, which should have been for the human race.
Some of the Qilin who knew part of the inside story secretly speculated that perhaps their ancestor had obtained something valuable in the Land of All Beings, and that the human race also coveted the Qilin, which was why they made this deal.
Now, we're just waiting for the Blazing Sky Kirin to answer our questions.
·
Blazing Sky Qilin let its clansmen clamor without feeling annoyed at all.
Only after the beast's roar gradually subsided did it reveal a mysterious smile, take out a beast fetus, and let it float steadily in front of it, showing it to all the Qilin.
The moment the Qilin saw the beast fetus, they involuntarily held their breath. After they saw the true appearance of the fetus, they couldn't help but howl loudly.
"It's the embryo of the Blazing Sky Kirin!"
"A Celestial Qilin cub!"
"We have a Celestial Kirin cub!"
Countless joys, earth-shattering.
The numerous Qilins almost couldn't resist dancing, their momentum was extremely frenzied.
All the Qilin knew that if their ancestor was gone, the attacks by the Luan Que would become the norm for their clan, and there would never be another ancestor to appear in time again. The Qilin clan had to endure and hide, trying to survive as long as possible...
But things are different now.
With the appearance of the Fiery Sky Kirin cub, as long as the ancestors can raise the cub in their remaining days, they will surely prosper for another 100,000 years!
Although time is a bit tight, it's okay, the tribe will do its best, there will definitely be no problem!
At this moment, the Blazing Sky Qilin took out the Qilin Nourishing Ginseng.
Unsurprisingly, the numerous Qilin cheered and rejoiced once again!
·
The Qilin clan was incredibly lively. As the Blazing Sky Qilin recounted its story, they all happily went to collect the various requests made by the two human children, quickly gathering the resources.
It's just a hundred times the resources, right? Here you go!
They're all included!
Even if it's several times more, we can't give less!
The most steady and meticulous Qilin in the clan took over the beast fetus. The most powerful Qilin besides the Blazing Sky Qilin was responsible for its protection. They used Qilin Nourishing Yuan Ginseng to quickly provide nutrients to the beast fetus, preparing to hatch it as quickly as possible.
All the Qilin were busy.
The Blazing Sky Kirin then went to plunder its possessions.
The place was piled high with debris. It took the Blazing Sky Kirin a long time to dig before it finally found the top-grade water-attribute refining material. In addition, it also found a lot of other level seven or eight five-element refining materials, which it simply packed up as gifts.
After gathering all of these into a mustard seed ring, the Blazing Sky Qilin raised its hand and picked at the scales on its chest.
There was a slight crack there, and a scale fell out.
At the same time, the Fiery Heavenly Kirin touched the wound and drew out a drop of essence blood.
A single scale and a drop of essence blood were collected by the Blazing Sky Kirin into a small box.
At that moment, it nodded in satisfaction.
Everything's ready.
This is its good intention.
·
After seeing off the Blazing Sky Qilin, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan exchanged a glance and exhaled without making a sound.
Living with a ninth-tier rare beast can be a little tough.
The Flaming Sky Qilin's emotions often change, and each change brings some pressure to the two of them. Although the Flaming Sky Qilin can immediately adjust his aura, it still gives the two of them a test of willpower.
After it was over, I naturally felt a sense of relief.
But it's not a big problem.
Zhong Cai said with a smile, "Old Wu, I have a feeling that the Qilin Clan will give us a big surprise this time."
Wu Shaogan then said, "Then congratulations in advance to A Cai for acquiring more medicinal herbs for alchemy."
Zhong Cai chuckled: "Same to you, same to you."
Wu Shaogan raised an eyebrow: "Where is Tongxi?"
Zhong Cai said matter-of-factly, "I'm very happy about Tongxi, and you should be happy too."
Wu Shaogan deliberately thought for a moment, then said, "That makes a lot of sense."
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed even more happily.
·
Since they didn't know how long the Qilin clan would need to prepare the resources, the couple didn't plan to wait indefinitely in the Land of All Living Beings.
The two first went back to the two halls, and then went to the shelves.
Zhong Cai pondered for a moment and said, "I'll leave some more resources and a post too."
Wu Shaogan understood his thoughts and said, "I'll help you organize it."
·
The two gathered some of the cards they had just drawn and some they had drawn before.
I wasn't planning on restocking, but now I'm going to leave a "little note" because it wouldn't look good if the shelves were empty.
They also got their inspiration from the Blazing Sky Kirin...
Therefore, they stated in the post that they wanted to collect top-grade refining materials of the four elements: metal, wood, fire, and earth.
As for what they will offer in exchange...
The two listed three types of level-nine resources of higher quality, in addition to which there were prices for Xuan Stones, etc.
The two even mentioned that if any disciples who were willing to trade had any needs, they could bring them up, and they would try to find a way to obtain what the other party needed.
Thus, they wrote a long and detailed piece of writing, which was enough to prove their need for refining materials.
Moreover, in addition to the top-grade refining materials, they also need the lower-grade refining materials—this was also mentioned.
·
After reviewing the post again, Zhong Cai was quite satisfied and then handed it to Wu Shaogan to review as well.
Wu Shaogan nodded and said, "Then let's leave it at that. Leave the invitation."
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "Let's go back."
Wu Shaogan ruffled Zhong Cai's hair and said with a smile, "There are still some things to do after we get back."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Let's go take a look at the Danwu Sky Curtain first."
Wu Shaogan nodded as well.
The two made a pact, then summoned the Gate of All Beings again and left the Land of All Beings together.
·
In a certain region of a top-tier continent, there is the Chao family.
The Gate of All Beings opened, and a tall, slender young man stepped out and closed the Gate of All Beings.
He had a faint smile on his face, but it disappeared after he closed the door.
At this moment, he seemed to be shrouded in frost, and even his brows and eyes were filled with arrogance.
She seemed to keep everyone at arm's length.
This is his secret cultivation chamber, surrounded by countless arrays, making it extremely well-protected.
The young man pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
Outside, rows of armored ascetics bowed to him.
Upon seeing him, the burly man at the head of the group immediately stepped forward, but his face showed a rather troubled expression.
The arrogant young man lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "What happened?"
The burly man knelt on one knee, his expression solemn, and his voice heavy as he said, "The Sky Ranking has been refreshed once again."
Arrogant young man: "What?"
The burly man took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Ever since three times ago, the top two rankings on the Sky Ranking... have become uncertain."
The arrogant young man frowned slightly: "...Tell me in detail."
