Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 192: Many Qilins in the Qilin Temple

Sitting in the dragon carriage, Chen Qing was absorbing Ye Fulong's memories.

The dragon carriage was already on its way to the Li State.

Chen Qing had no intention of going to the Water State at all.

He had suppressed the members of the royal family in the Water State.

So, he chose to go to the Li State as his next stop.

Different from what happened in the Lin State and the Fire State, when Chen Qing was not far from the border of the Li State, a young Daoist riding a green Qilin approached him.

The young Daoist's white robe fluttered in the wind like a celestial being.

"Qi Changjin of the Li State's Qilin Temple greets the Guard Lord!"

Chen Qing was slightly surprised. The Qilin Temple was a great sect on par with the Land of the Source of Dao and the Phoenix Nest.

They usually did not like to ask questions, but now they came to greet him.

Chen Qing turned to look at Li Liufeng. Li Liufeng said, "The Qilin Temple is not on good terms with the Green Sanctuary Sect of the Li State. Plus, it is a foreign sect, so it has been ostracized by the local sects of the Li State."

Are you trying to seek refuge with me? Are you looking for a new foothold?

Looking at the handsome Daoist in front of him, Chen Qing had a better understanding of this world.

At the top were the great sects.

For example, the Extreme Light Sect, the Great Liao, the Immortal Court, the Celestial Master Abode, the Dragon Palace, the Snowfield, the Nine Li Miaoshen, the Western Desert Buddhist Sect, and the Sword Wandering Palace.

Because they had immortal gods who sat high above the Nine Heavens and looked down on the mortal world.

Under the protection of the great sects were the Land of the Source of Dao, the Qilin Temple, and the Vast Heaven Division.

Their relationship with the great sects was like the finger of a giant. They had to rely on this giant to survive.

For things like king-making, they could only rely on it.

Only the great sects had the right to initiate and control king-making.

Chen Qing had been to the Ten Thousand Years Mountain personally. The shock of the three thousand profound entrances, countless experts, and kings, and the unknown place hanging high in the sky still remained in Chen Qing's heart.

There were probably four Perfected Lords under Miao Shen's command. They were the last four mysterious places he had visited.

Below the Perfected Lords were the kings.

This was a world where the great sects had great control over the world, not a chaotic world with thousands of sects.

If the Land of the Dao Source and the Qilin Temple were to take the initiative to submit, Chen Qing would quickly understand what was going on.

If they weren't from a major sect, they wouldn't have the right to be independent.

They could only choose to attach themselves to one of the great sects in order to have a chance of survival.

For example, if he succeeded in becoming the king of the Death Realm, then the Source of the Dao and the Qilin Temple would become his vassals.

While fighting for the throne, he also split up the discordant sects and restored peace.

The methods of the great sects were indeed powerful.

So why did Miao Shen need a king from the Extreme Light Religion?

Using me to completely control and absorb the remaining forces of the Aurora Sect?

Chen Qing wasn't sure about these things yet, but they weren't important.

After all, whether or not he could come back alive from the Death Realm was a problem.

Chen Qing stepped down from the carriage. "Kirin Temple?"

Qi Zhangjin smiled and said, "That's right. Grandmaster has been waiting for Master Wei for a long time. Master Wei, please come over for a while."

"Furthermore, in my Qilin Temple, there is also an acquaintance of Lord Guard."

Chen Qing's eyes were filled with curiosity. "Who is it?"

Qi Zhangjin said, "Grandmaster has already sent people to capture him. Soon, Lord Wei will see him."

Chen Qing nodded. "Please lead the way."

After following Qi Zhangjin for a thousand miles, Chen Qing was cultivating when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Old thing, you actually dared to attack your Uncle-Master. Are you tired of living?"

"Do you still have any respect for your elders?"

"After we go back, I will definitely ask Senior Brother to spank your butt!"

Chen Qing opened the carriage curtain and saw a white-browed and white-haired Daoist. He reached out and grabbed Nie Fei, passing over his head and landing in front of Chen Qing.

Seeing Chen Qing, Nie Fei was overjoyed. "Good brother, I knew that every time I was captured, you would come to save me!"

Qi Zhangjin shook his head bitterly. "Uncle-Master, this is Lord Wei, the current Foundation Establishment Master of Nanli!"

Nie Fei scolded, "What do you know when you are a junior of that generation!"

"How can you speculate about the relationship between us brothers?"

Chen Qing stood up with a smile and said to the white-haired Daoist, "Senior, please let go of Nie Fei."

The white-haired Daoist let go of his hand, letting Nie Fei fall to the ground.

"I don't dare to let Lord Wei call me senior."

Nie Fei patted his butt and stood up. "Old thing, you have no respect for your elders. After we go back, I will definitely ask Senior Brother to punish you to the Cliff of Reflection!"

"Hahaha, we meet again. Every time we meet, you are indeed different!"

"Whenever I want to see you, I will definitely walk right into your trap!"

Seeing his old friend again, other than joy, Chen Qing also had other emotions.

It turned out that it had been arranged long ago.

Qilin Temple had already placed their bet a long time ago?

A thought surged in Chen Qing's mind.

There were absolutely no coincidences in this world.

Then, there seemed to be only one place left that could escape the control of the great sects.

The Death Realm.

Only by becoming the true Lord of the Death Realm could he temporarily escape the control of the great sects, right?

Or perhaps, this was also arranged by the Sword Wandering Palace, and they were willing to give him this opportunity.

Giving him a chance to see the world clearly?

Or could it be that the king had the chance to choose for himself?

It was as if a net had completely enveloped Chen Qing.

Chen Qing shook his head and smiled at Nie Fei. "Since I am at your house, why don't you bring me to see it!"

Nie Fei laughed. "Well said, well said."

"I heard you don't have a mount yet. Let me tell you, my house has many."

"Qilin at foundation establishment perfection stage, you can choose as you wish!"

"This is a qilin not inferior to the dragon race!"

"Of course, in terms of speed, the wind qilin is the best."

"In terms of strength, the fire qilin is the best."

"But the most amazing thing is that a variant qilin appeared in my house recently, it is a lightning qilin, it has strength not inferior to a fire qilin and speed comparable to a wind qilin."

"How is it, are you tempted?"

Chen Qing invited Nie Fei to board the carriage and said as they left, "But I heard that in your Qilin Temple, humans and qilins are equal. Aren't you afraid of angering those qilins with your words?"

Nie Fei laughed heartily. "Heh, my seniority in Qilin Temple is high enough, those little fellows are all my juniors."

"I am making arrangements as their senior granduncle, they won't dare to disobey!"

Nie Fei lifted his hand and showed Chen Qing his arm, revealing a piece of black jade-like scale.

"I am also a variant, black jade qilin, I am proficient in transformation and can control the five elements, thus I was born with a mirror Gu."

"Thus, I said mirror Gu is the one and only spirit Gu in the world."

At this time, Chen Qing finally understood.

"No wonder your seniority in Qilin Temple is so high."

If he was a human, he would be the last disciple in terms of seniority.

But the Qilin Temple was based on bloodline. Nie Fei was young, but his seniority was very high.

Hearing Nie Fei's introduction, Wu Shang was immediately interested. "Big Brother Nie Fei, can I choose one too?"

Nie Fei waved generously. "Sure, sure. You're my brother's younger brother, so you're my younger brother too!"

"Once we're in the temple, you can choose any Qilin you want!"

After three days of walking, they finally arrived at the Qilin Temple. As soon as Chen Qing got out of the car and walked up the mountain path with Nie Fei, he heard voices calling for Nie Fei.

"Granduncle."

"Granduncle."

"Little grandpa."

"Uncle."

Among them were Qilins and Taoists, but none of them were higher in seniority than Nie Fei.

Nie Fei laughed and waved at the Taoists and Qilins. "Hahaha, good, your granduncle is back again!"

"Hey, Qing He, it's only been three years, and you've developed so well!"

"It's time to find a family!"

Qing He blushed shyly. "Granduncle, you're teasing me again!"

Now, Chen Qing finally understood how Nie Fei had developed such a character.

Nie Fei shouted loudly, "Where's Tianyu?

Why don't I see him? "

Qing He said, "Granduncle, Zhaoyu heard that you were going to give him away, so he hid at granduncle's place."

Nie Fei's expression froze. "Senior Brother's there?"

"He came out of seclusion?"

"Forget it, I'll go tell Zhaoyu's father!"

Nie Fei was about to slip away when he heard a soft shout. "Junior Brother!"

Chen Qing looked in the direction of that person and saw a Qilin with jade-like scales and faint black lightning running all over its body. It was also sizing him up.

This must be the mutant Thunder Qilin.

Next to the Thunder Qilin was a Taoist in a green Taoist robe with white hair.

His sideburns were white, and he wore a Qilin crown on his head. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and looked like an immortal.

He had an otherworldly aura, but there was a huge force in his body that was like a dragon.

His eyes were extremely dark, like a reflection of a river.

When Nie Fei saw the Daoist, he restrained himself slightly. "Senior Brother, you've come out of seclusion."

The Southern Li Tribe had many spirit beasts, and many of them had pure-blooded mutated beasts or primordial ferocious beasts.

However, only the Ten Thousand Years Mountain and the Qilin Temple had sacred beasts like the Qilin.

There was no need to talk about the Ten Thousand Years Mountain. As for the Qilin Temple, it had another origin.

It was rumored that thirty thousand years ago, the Qilin Clan was a holy beast because of their benevolent nature.

Unlike the Dragon Race, where brother and sister got married and their bloodlines were mottled, there were no pure-blooded Qilins in the end.

After walking down the divine altar, a mixed-blood Qilin met a Daoist by chance.

This Daoist had an immortal technique called Cutting Dao to See Self, Clear Mirror Colored Glaze.

Using yin and yang as a blade to sever oneself, severing the Dao to see one's true self. Tracing back to the source, one could strip away one's mixed blood and return to a pure-blooded body.

Only by relying on the Dao Severing and Seeing True Self technique did the Qilin Clan have another pure-blooded Qilin.

As a result, they lived in the Daoist temple and survived until it evolved into the Qilin Temple.

Of course, how did a scum like Nie Fei appear? That was a question.

At this moment, the Qilins that Chen Qing saw were mostly juniors with Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Of course, there was no lack of newborn Qilins. Only two of them were curiously sizing up Chen Qing and the others.

Because the Qilin Temple was ostracized, very few people came to visit, so they were very curious about Chen Qing and the others.

To be able to see so many pure-blooded Qilins at once was an eye-opener for the Dragon Stallion Army that followed Chen Qing.

These sacred beasts that only existed in myths and legends could not be seen normally. This time, they saw more than twenty of them at once.

The Qilin Temple's temple master, Qi Tianfeng, said with a calm expression, "Junior Brother, since you have returned, come with me to pay respects to the Ancestral Master!"

He turned to look at Chen Qing and the others. "Everyone is a guest from afar. Zhaoyu, go and receive them and make proper arrangements. Do not be rude!"

Zhaoyu nodded and came in front of Chen Qing. "Guard Master, please follow me."

The Thunder Qilin's fur was like a raging fire, and there was lightning flowing around its body. Its physique was not inferior to that of the Dragon Race.

Even Chen Qing's heart was slightly shaken.

Following Zhaoyu to the guest room, Chen Qing was not in a hurry. He only asked about the daily routine here, and then let Zhaoyu leave.

"Big Brother, this Zhaoyu is really elegant."

"If you had him as your mount, it would be really majestic!"

As soon as Wu Shang finished speaking, he heard Li Liufeng's reprimand. "Wu Shang, everyone in the Qilin Temple is equal to the Qilins. They are all disciples. How can you say such things?"

"Isn't this insulting the Qilin bloodline?"

"You brat, you are too arrogant!"

"Come with me to chant under the waterfall!"

Wu Shang looked at Chen Qing for help. Chen Qing revealed an expression of helplessness.

He could only bitterly follow Li Liufeng to chant under the waterfall.

There was no one else in the Qilin Temple's main hall apart from Nie Fei and Qi Tianfeng.

The two of them sat across from each other, and there was no trace of the sternness from before.

Qi Tianfeng reached out and handed a drumstick to Nie Fei. "Junior Brother, in your opinion, can we place a bet on Qing Xu?"

Nie Fei took it and took a bite.

"Behind him is the Extreme Light Sect. They are the true masters of the mortal world."

"For him."

Qi Tianfeng picked up a drumstick and stuffed it into Nie Fei's mouth. "Is this something I can listen to?"

Nie Fei swallowed it down along with the bone. "Then Senior Brother, guess why I told you this?"

"Is there any other path for our Qilin Temple?"

"Since five thousand years ago, when Master was the Grand Preceptor and controlled the Li Kingdom for five hundred years, King Li has never trusted us!"

"The current King Li hates us to the core."

"If we don't find a wise ruler now, where can we go?"

Qi Tianfeng cut off a piece of chicken butt and stuffed it into his mouth. "Then continue."

Nie Fei said, "For him, the Extreme Light Sect gave up two prodigies and let them enter the Death Realm first to confuse the public."

"To buy time for him."

"Now, he is the successor of Miao Shen and is valued by the new king of the South Sea."

"After hundreds of thousands of years, South Li has never had a Wen King."

"If he wins and succeeds in becoming king, his title is very likely to be Wen King!"

"Senior Brother, you should know that among the kings of major sects, Wen King and Wu King are the most precious!"

Qi Tianfeng said, "How can I not know this?"

"To become a True Lord and rule over a world, one must be promoted from Wen King and Wu King."

Nie Fei continued, "Wen King and Wu King have always had more than one king under their command."

"Look at this Qing Xu. He is only at Foundation Establishment now, but his younger brother already has a Gu King. Can't he understand?"

"Miao Shen wants to give the Extreme Light Sect a Wen King and completely control the remaining forces of the Extreme Light Sect!"

Qi Tianfeng said slowly, "The Extreme Light Sect has always claimed to be a great sect. How can they truly submit to Miao Shen?"

"If Wen King and Miao Shen have a conflict later on, what will we do?"
