Chapter 384: Absorbing the Qilin Horn (1/2)

They flew for a long time until they reached a mountain range, where they descended. Here Xue Wei used his strength to carve out a large cave in one of the mountainsides, and they all entered, aware that this would be their home for the next month.

As soon as they arrived, Xue Wei placed multiple inscriptions at the entrance, masking their cave and putting out an illusion for those who came by.

Having accepted the protective measures, they all sat down cross-legged. None of them needed to guard, as Xue Wei would feel it the moment someone came close to his illusion inscription.

Since they did not need to guard, all of them took stock of their treasures. Some decided to strengthen their Qi; they took out spiritual fruits and other herbs that could raise and enhance their Qi foundation and layer.

Others decided to consume their Qilin horn and try to gain an affinity with the Thunder element.

There were many elemental affinities in the world. However, the purest were the five elements known as wuxing. It was Fire, Metal, Water, Earth, and Wood.

While these elements were the base of all elements, many other elements were also beneficial, the thunder and lightning element was especially very sought after, due to the attack power, and speed.

Xue Wei was pondering on what to spend his time doing, but after contemplating for some time, he took out a Qilin Horn and a Black Scorpion Lily.

He had one in each hand, and while it was immensely taxing on his mind, he found that it was possible to absorb the Black Scorpion Lily while comprehending the elemental affinity in the Qilin Horn.

The Qilin Horn was not supposed to be eaten, nor was it supposed to be ground to dust and used as a pill ingredient.

Instead, it was bursting with energy, which the cultivator was to consume. The power was Qi, and it would have a beneficial impact on one's Qi levels, but at the same time, the Qi also carried with it the thunder and lightning elemental affinity.

One would have to extract this and then spend some time merging it with one's body before it became tempered.

After being tempered with the Qi from the Qilin Horn, it would be much more sensitive to the thunder and lightning Qi, hence one had reached the threshold for gaining the elemental affinity.

As to whether or not the person was able to have an actual breakthrough in the aspect that depended entirely on the person's ability to comprehend the energy.

The majority of the people present had taken their Qilin Horns and were trying to absorb the energy. The air in the cave was trembling, and thunder and lightning could be heard above the mountain from time to time.

There was so much thunder and lightning elemental energy in the air that it was impossible to get rid of it in a short while.
