782 Mother Earth (1/2)

Qin Mu gave a slight smile and had the dragon qilin and water qilin remain outside. ”Brother, let's go in.”

Gongsun Yan led the way while Celestial Venerable Yu followed Qin Mu into this earthly palace in a daze.

Outside the hall, the water qilin lowered his head in fear and didn't dare look at that old dragon. He didn't even dare to raise his head to examine the phoenix.

The phoenix stood in front of them and pruned her feathers calmly in the midst of this chaos. The old dragon's body was coiled around the pillar, and he hung his head down to stare at them with his blurred vision as though he was guarding against thieves. His head was much bigger than the dragon qilin and the water qilin's heads combined.

The water qilin's heartbeat became even faster. On the other hand, the dragon qilin was rummaging around and took out a few spirit pills from somewhere. He asked that old dragon, ”Do you eat this?”

The water qilin cried bitterly to himself, yet he saw the old dragon relaxing his body as he came down from the pillar. He transformed into an elder with a dragon head and took the spirit pills to try one. He praised, ”How refreshing! Young one, why haven't you transformed into a human form yet? You are still walking down the path of the primitive half-gods, relying on food to grow. This path has already been proven to not work. Only by transforming into the form of a human can you have divine treasures and celestial palaces, only then can you cultivate.”

The dragon qilin sought knowledge earnestly. ”Cult Master has taught me the Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique, and he said that it was a technique on Emperor's Throne. However, when I cultivate it, I always feel something is wrong. Cult Master said I have the qilin bloodline, making the technique not too suitable for me.”

That old dragon said, ”So I see. Dragons are born from dragon veins, and I was also born from a dragon vein. Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique is already the best technique. However, you have the blood of qilin in your veins, so it's indeed difficult for you to cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique. I don't have the technique of the qilin race, but there are many qilins here. We can still find them and ask for some top-notch techniques. Follow me!”

The dragon qilin followed him.

The water qilin stared with his eyes wide open. 'So easygoing?'

That old dragon led him to the front of an imperial tomb, and he called out loudly, ”Guardian Lu, Guardian Lu!”

A stone qilin gradually shed off its stone characteristics and transformed into an awe-inspiring fire qilin. ”Why has Dragon King called me?”

”There's a young one here with the bloodline of my dragon race and your qilin race. However, he doesn't have cultivation techniques for the qilin race, you can teach him some.”

That old dragon said, ”I ate his spirit pills, so I have to give him some benefits.”

That fire qilin looked at the dragon qilin and said, ”So you are that kid from just now, do you still have spirit pills?”

The dragon qilin hurriedly took out some spirit pills and said, ”I saw brother was rather bold and powerful just now, so I didn't dare to come forward and talk.”

That fire qilin was quite pleased. ”We are ordered to guard the imperial tomb, so we naturally have to be more bold and powerful.”

Suddenly, the qilin in front of the other imperial tombs came to life, and they rode on auspicious clouds to land around the dragon qilin. They were all full of smiles. ”How fragrant, how fragrant!”

The dragon qilin took out even more spirit pills to give them. ”When I passed by here earlier, I almost peed myself when I saw how terrifying big brothers were.”

Those qilins seemed to enjoy his praises and laughed. ”We are there to scare you, this is to prevent any thief from trying to slip in.”

The dragon qilin took out all of his spirit pills and even gave some to the old dragon as well. Everyone became brothers with the dragon qilin, and they were very lively.

The dragon qilin was rather touched. 'Luckily, Cult Master created a spirit pill that caters to the taste of both races because I have the bloodline of the dragon and the qilin. Only because of that am I able to get to know them.'

”Brother, your bloodline consists of both the dragon and the qilin race, now this is a little troublesome. It's no wonder you find it hard to morph.”

One of the qilin half-gods said, ”If you cultivate two kinds of techniques at the same time, it's hard for you to train both. Let us change the technique for you.”

In front of the palace, the water qilin couldn't help being envious when he saw those big shots among the half-gods surrounding the dragon qilin and teaching him how to cultivate. 'We are both mounts, so why could he manage to mingle into the upper society of the half-gods in an instant while I have to stay here and get stared at by this phoenix...'

The phoenix continued to stare at him, and she suddenly asked delicately, ”Do you have spirit pills?”

The water qilin replied honestly, ”I don't.”

The phoenix ignored him and continued to stare at him.

The water qilin felt sorrowful. 'When can Master Lan learn how to make spirit pills?'

The earthly palace was too huge, and some time was required to walk through the gate. This made Qin Mu feel as though he had returned back to the barbaric and wild era of Dragon Han.

Celestial Venerable Yu looked at the palace in a daze and muttered, ”I seem to have come here before, this place seems familiar...”

Qin Mu slowed down his footsteps and asked in anticipation, ”Could brother have remembered something?”

Celestial Venerable Yu was more and more at a loss. He knocked on his head and shook his head. ”I can't remember anything... Big brother, I don't think I'm your biological brother!”

His face was serious.

Qin Mu burst into laughter and said, ”What are you talking about? Your surname is Lan, and my surname is Qin, of course we aren't biological brothers.”

He quickly followed after Gongsun Yan and examined the layout of the hall. The decorations in the hall were simple, and no murals could be seen on the walls. There were only some paintings on the flat ground.

The primordial spirit behind Qin Mu appeared and looked down from high above. Only then was he able to see the paintings clearly.
