Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540: Philanthropy My Ass
"What did you say, all the Exotic Beasts in this Spiritual Beast Illusion Realm are descendants of your great-grandfather?" Jiang Yuzhe suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed.
"Yes, what’s the matter?" Jue Dang looked at him in confusion.
"Nothing...nothing... your great-grandfather sure had a unique taste." Jiang Yuzhe glanced at the Exotic Beasts in the distance, scratched his head, and said.
Huayue and the others wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed to do so, their expressions extremely strange.
The Qilin Clan almost went extinct back then, and all the survivors had already gone to faraway lands. Jue Dang’s great-grandfather wanted to continue the lineage, so he naturally had to find Exotic Beasts from other races. Looking at those Exotic Beasts in the distance, a wide variety of them, even a few blue-faced mutated wild boars, were all descendants of that old Qilin. His taste is indeed quite extraordinary.
But only Jiang Yuzhe thought of this, while everyone else was lamenting the rough fate of the Qilin Clan. Who had the time to think about this?
"What a bunch of nonsense you’re thinking about!" Jue Dang was initially stunned, then reacted, and cursed loudly.
"I was just saying casually, uh... actually, it wasn’t that the old man had a unique taste, but that he was loving! Loving!" Jiang Yuzhe was startled and quickly corrected himself.
"Loving my ass!" Unexpectedly, even a descendant of such a Divine Beast that had lived for over a hundred thousand years would curse, leaving Mu Hanyan and the others taken aback, fearing he might slap Jiang Yuzhe to death in a fit of rage.
Though the old man had just been beaten pretty badly by the Little Auspicious Beast earlier, after all, he had the physique of a Divine Beast with an astonishing self-healing ability. The mishmash of colors on his face quickly returned to normal. If he struck hard, even Mu Hanyan couldn’t stop him.
But fortunately, despite his anger, he didn’t take action. He just snorted twice in dissatisfaction and said, "The way my great-grandfather passed down the bloodline is not as you imagined. You see this Beast Soul Pool, it was formed by his Divine Sense when he was nearing the end of his life, and it incorporates his Qilin Blood Essence as well.
In this Beast Spirit Illusion Realm, there are almost a hundred Beast Soul Pools, but there’s only one that contains Qilin Blood Essence. Only descendants of the Beast Clan with exceptional natural talent are qualified to come here for meridian clearing and marrow washing. After undergoing the refinement of this Beast Soul Pool, not only do our qualifications improve greatly, but we can also possess the Qilin Bloodline. The more outstanding the natural talent, the purer the Qilin Bloodline becomes.
For example, me, I am a descendant of the Qilin Bull Clan, also a distant relative of the Qilin Clan, so it’s easier for me to gain the Qilin Bloodline after meridian clearing and marrow washing. From my great-grandfather’s generation, several generations of descendants have undergone meridian clearing and marrow washing in this pool, and the Qilin Bloodline has been passed down through generations, reaching its peak with my generation.
Although other Exotic Beasts are not as good as me, with the Qilin Bloodline, their Spiritual Wisdom and natural talents are vastly different from their peers. So, to put it, we can all be considered descendants of the Qilin Clan."
At this point, Jue Dang’s face was full of pride and satisfaction.
Although it seemed like he was giving himself a bit too much credit, Mu Hanyan also admitted that when he just revealed his beast form, it was indeed eighty percent similar to the legendary Qilin Divine Beast. It’s important to know that the Qilin Bull itself is not considered a High-level Exotic Beast, and even compared to a Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull of the same family, it’s much inferior. Claiming to be a distant relative of the Qilin Clan is simply exaggerated. To have the Qilin Bloodline and such strength, this old Qilin Bull is indeed worth being proud of.
"Alas, what a pity, the Kirin Soul Pearl was shattered by your arrow earlier on. Otherwise, after this meridian clearing and marrow washing, I might have been able to wash away all the impurities in my body and become a true Qilin Divine Beast." In the end, Jue Dang said with a face full of regret. The Kirin Soul Pearl he mentioned was naturally the drop of water that was shot apart by a golden short arrow.
"That golden arrow just now was not fired by us." Mu Hanyan explained.
With the strength of everyone present, it’s simply impossible to shoot such an arrow unless relying on a Divine Artifact, which they obviously didn’t have. Of course, even if they had one, there was no need for them to do so. It would harm others without benefiting themselves and would be purely suicidal.
"Wasn’t it you?" Jue Dang looked in the direction the arrow came from with some doubt.
Now that he had calmed down from his anger, he knew that Mu Hanyan and the others would never do such a foolish thing. However, even with his powerful Divine Sense, he hadn’t detected anyone else’s presence.
Although Mu Hanyan’s Six Senses are powerful, they cannot be compared with an old monster who has lived for nearly a hundred thousand years. If he couldn’t discover it, there was no way Mu Hanyan could.
Nevertheless, as she pondered, a figure emerged in her mind. Besides that guy, probably no one else could have such a Divine Bow, nor would they hate her so deeply. You know, that arrow just now almost took the lives of over a hundred people in this valley.
"Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Not being able to transform into a Qilin is probably destiny. This isn’t something that can be forced." Jue Dang clearly didn’t want to waste his energy on the matter, waving his hand dismissively.
"I’ve heard that the Beast Soul Pool appears once in ten thousand years, the old man still has opportunities." Mu Hanyan comforted. Although it wasn’t their doing, it was caused by them, and Mu Hanyan felt somewhat guilty.
"It’s not as simple as you think. After millions of years, the Qilin Blood Essence left by my great-grandfather has become increasingly sparse, and it will eventually disappear one day. This time, it condensed into a Kirin Soul Pearl, resembling the last radiance before death. In the future, there might not be another chance to condense again. Not only will I miss the opportunity, but other Exotic Beasts will too, and it’ll be difficult to perform meridian clearing and marrow washing again." Jue Dang sighed deeply.
Upon hearing this, Mu Hanyan felt even more guilty.
"But luckily, we’ve found the Young Master, so I haven’t failed my great-grandfather’s trust." Jue Dang said.
"By the way, how did you know he is the Young Master of the Qilin Clan you were looking for?" Jiang Yuzhe suddenly asked curiously.
Everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot. The nobler the Divine Beast’s bloodline, the more spiritual they were. They had innate superpowers in certain aspects that even humans couldn’t compare to. Jue Dang had his reasons for identifying his clan’s Young Master. There was no need to question it.
"Nonsense, do you think anyone can interrupt my Qilin Transformation Technique? Do you think anyone can use the Divine Beast Seal? Who else but the Young Master of the Qilin Clan could have such an Innate Divine Ability?" Although Jue Dang had managed to hold back and hadn’t slapped Jiang Yuzhe, who had blasphemed his Qilin great-grandfather, to death, he was still somewhat resentful, speaking with undisguised disdain.
"That’s true." Noticing the looks of the others, Jiang Yuzhe said, feeling embarrassed.
