Chapter 894: Chapter 894: The Qilin Kneels
Inside the Qilin Cave.
Liu Zixuan utilized the Holy Medical Scripture, transforming the Elixir into specks of medicinal power, and directly infused it into the body of the Qilin.
This Elixir was intended to help it recover its body; after all, only when the Qilin’s physical functions are restored can it give birth successfully. Otherwise, removing the offspring from the abdomen would result in a survival rate so low that it could be ignored.
Watching the Qilin’s ice-enveloped body gradually revive, seeing its wilted scales regain their original color, the elder beside understood that the Elixir Liu Zixuan refined had worked!
He couldn’t help but respect Liu Zixuan even more.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly the ice blocks beside him began to melt rapidly.
Liu Zixuan slightly furrowed his brows and quickly pulled the elder back several steps.
Crack!
Crack!
As the ice melted, series of crisp sounds echoed, resembling the sound of bones and joints colliding.
Gradually, the Qilin’s eyes suddenly opened, and two flame-like entities erupted from its eyes, striking the wall beside them.
It’s worth noting that this cave was specially chosen by the Profound Sword Sect, its wall hardness beyond ordinary speculation, yet those flame-like entities forcibly pierced through the wall!
Liu Zixuan took a deep cold breath, and at the same time felt secretly fortunate. It was lucky he pulled the elder away, or those entities hitting them could have been fatal!
"It...it stood up again!" The elder’s excited words became somewhat fragmented. At that moment, he looked nothing like a sweeping old man, but more like a child who has seen candy!
Roar!
A sound resonating through the cave came from the Qilin’s mouth, the beast that looked like a dead thing gradually walking out from the icy cavern to Liu Zixuan’s front, glancing at him.
Then it directly performed a shocking move for both Liu Zixuan and the elder!
The huge Qilin’s front hooves slightly bowed to the ground, presenting a kneeling posture to Liu Zixuan!
This scene made the elder look stunned!
That’s an Auspicious Beast from Ancient Times, actually kneeling before a human!
Liu Zixuan grinned and was about to step forward to lift the Qilin. But as he moved, the elder shouted, "Don’t touch its body, the Qilin is a positive yang entity, its surface temperature is higher than Nether Fire Stone, which is why we struggled to obtain Profound Ice!"
Liu Zixuan hurriedly pulled back his hand, wiping sweat from his forehead: "Whoa, fortunate you mentioned it in time!"
Roar!
But unexpectedly, the Qilin shook its head twice and, after standing, actively walked towards Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan instinctively stepped back, but the Qilin kept pursuing him.
"Am I able to touch it?" Liu Zixuan questioned in bewilderment.
"Definitely not, even those Sect Leaders in the Profound Sword Sect who have broken through the Innate Emperor Realm can’t touch it."
However, as the elder spoke, Liu Zixuan had already reached out, even touching the Qilin’s head.
The elder who was murmuring to himself froze on the spot, muttering incredulously, "This...how is this possible! Could it be that after healing the Qilin, its surface temperature is no longer high?"
Curious, the elder extended his hand too, but when still half a meter away from the Qilin, he felt a heatwave preventing him from stepping forward!
At this moment, the elder was truly confused.
Could it be that because the Qilin knew Liu Zixuan saved it, it allowed him to touch it?
This Qilin, which the Profound Sword Sect has guarded painstakingly for millennia, is it considering Liu Zixuan, a newcomer, its master?
Truthfully, when this thought flashed through the elder’s mind, he suddenly felt a bewildered frustration!
Liu Zixuan felt immensely cheerful, flaunting to the elder, then accompanying the Qilin to the side, scrutinizing it closely.
The Qilin before him was not much different from legends, except it appeared only slightly larger than an ordinary lion.
Such a vivid Qilin in front made Liu Zixuan feel as if dreaming.
"Zixuan, since the Qilin woke up, try looking to see if there’s an offspring in its belly." The elder whispered from beside.
Liu Zixuan promptly nodded; previously he heard the elder say the Qilin is due to give birth, yet being confined by Profound Ice couldn’t inspect, now with the Qilin awake, he can check.
To discern if an animal or person is pregnant, usually, people rely on medical instruments or pulse checking.
But with a unique creature like the Qilin, Liu Zixuan couldn’t resort to conventional methods.
The X-ray Vision activated instantly, directly viewing the Qilin’s abdomen.
After some observation, Liu Zixuan frowned because he didn’t see any offspring-like figure, instead seeing a mass of gas!
That gas was multicolored, appearing like celestial clouds.
Turning swiftly, he relayed this to the elder.
This rendered the elder deeply puzzled as well.
After the two stared at the Qilin for a while, Liu Zixuan said, "Is it possible that being trapped for so long in Profound Ice, the offspring transformed into that gaseous mass?"
The elder scratched his head: "I don’t know either, after all, I wasn’t born when the last birth happened four hundred years ago."
Roar!
At this moment, the Qilin gave a deep cry to Liu Zixuan, then patted him with its paw, following up by heading towards the icy cavern.
Curious, Liu Zixuan followed the Qilin, puzzled as he looked and asked, "Are you going to show me something?"
The Qilin slowly crouched on the ground, extending its paw to glide over the side of an ice block.
Before long, several strange patterns appeared on it, looking like letters yet like substitutes for something, overall, Liu Zixuan didn’t recognize them.
Immediately he called the elder over to ask, "Do you recognize what these are?"
The elder stared at the patterns, contemplating while rubbing his chin before his eyes lit up: "Wait for me!"
Saying this, the elder urgently went through the secret passage to the Peach Blossom House, returning shortly with something peculiar in hand.
"This appeared alongside the Qilin back then. After several generations of Profound Sword Sect Leaders researched it, combining some Ancient texts to translate, the motifs the Qilin just revealed are actually words. The Qilin must be trying to convey something to us."
"Damn, this Qilin is impressive, it even knows how to use words to communicate with humans!" Liu Zixuan exclaimed in astonishment.
"Everything has its means of communication, as an auspicious beast to humans, why shouldn’t the Qilin communicate with humans?" The elder cast Liu Zixuan a sideways glance, hurriedly flipping through the peculiar book while saying, "Let me see what it’s trying to convey to us..."
