Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2592 Qilin Jade Embryo
The fact that the Thunder Beast Guardian can bear a fourth-tier thunder talisman indicates that it has the potential to become a puppet in the Fusion stage.

It has a pair of eyes, but only the left eye can seal lightning magic; the right eye shows no special abilities, as if someone had gouged out an eye. Ordinary people wouldn't leave such an obvious flaw when creating a puppet.

Qin Sang speculated that this was a second-best option, either because there was a lack of spiritual materials or because something unexpected happened at the last minute.

For the person who created it, the Thunder Beast Guardian was undoubtedly a failed work. He had intended to create a true puppet at the Integration Stage, but it could only seal Thunder Techniques at the Integration Stage, and only one at a time.

Qin Sang had some expertise in weapon crafting, but his knowledge of puppetry was limited. He attempted to deduce things on his own, and although he came up with some ideas, he ultimately rejected them all. So he humbly sought guidance from Yuan Zhenjun.

The appearance of the Thunder Beast Warrior attracted the attention of several True Lords, who surrounded the Thunder Beast Warrior and looked it over.

Zhan Wei wielded a thunder spear, his sharpness and imposing presence drawing praise from all the True Lords.

They also agreed with Qin Sang's speculation that the Thunder Beast War Guard was an incomplete creation. However, when it came to how to reforge it into a true Fusion Stage puppet, they were all at a loss and looked to Yuan Zhenjun for help.

Yuan Zhenjun stroked his long beard, remaining silent for a long time. Then, with Qin Sang's permission, he flicked his whisk, which touched the Thunder Beast Guardian's right eye, causing the lightning in the eye socket to stir restlessly.

At this moment, a gentle white light flowed into his eyes along the whisk, calming the restless lightning. Then, the white light, like a snake, entered the Thunder Beast Guardian's body through his eyes.

The intrusion of the strange force provoked the Thunder Beast Guardian's instinctive counterattack, but with its master Qin Sang suppressing it, the Thunder Beast Guardian remained standing still, allowing the white light to roam within its body.

Yuan Zhenjun slightly closed his eyes, and his power dispersed, flowing along the 'meridians' of the Thunder Beast Guardian to every corner of its body, and then regrouped in the Thunder Beast Guardian's left eye, where it lingered for a long time.

All the immortals watched Yuan Zhenjun perform his work in silence. After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Zhenjun finally withdrew his whisk.

"Lord Qin, may I keep this item with me for a while?"

Yuan Zhenjun spoke up, continuing his explanation: "Qin Tianjun's prediction is correct; this object does indeed have the potential to become a puppet in the Integration Stage. I have refined puppets several times before, and although I have some ideas, I need to verify them one by one. Furthermore, this puppet is entirely forged from lightning, which is quite wondrous. I am not well-versed in the Dao of Lightning, so I dare not be presumptuous..."

Upon hearing this, all the True Lords offered their congratulations to Qin Sang.

"With Yuan Zhenjun personally leading the charge, there's bound to be no chance of failure!"

"Congratulations, Qin Tianjun! You will soon gain a powerful ally!"

……

The True Lords were just surprised, but now they are truly envious of Qin Sang.

Qin Sang had no objection. He specifically showed it to Yuan Zhenjun, not only because Yuan Zhenjun was a master of weapon crafting, but also because of the Thunder Department Zhenjun behind him. He certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to leverage such a powerful force.

It would be even better if the Dao Court could help him reforge the Thunder Beast Guard.

Yuan Zhenjun nodded and put away the Thunder Beast Guardian.

Unbeknownst to them, more than a dozen ink marks appeared on the scroll, some of which appeared at the bottom of the Fire Abyss.

All the True Lords believed that this trial was nearing its end and began preparations for casting the Nine Earth Furnace.

Suddenly, Qin Sang frowned slightly.

The scrolls he bestowed upon Bai Ying'er and the other two carried a wisp of his divine will. Though he couldn't directly help them, he could vaguely sense their condition. At this moment, the two women were breathing rapidly, their state somewhat abnormal, as if they had encountered danger.

His gaze sharpened slightly as he looked down into the fiery abyss, as if trying to pierce through the sea of ​​fire and see the scene deep within.

Yuan Zhenjun noticed Qin Sang's unusual behavior and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Junior Nephew Bai and the others encountered danger inside? After all, the Fire Abyss is a fragment of the Qilin Cave Heaven, and unexpected changes may occur."

"It's just a verbal agreement. If Qin Tianjun loses his beloved disciple, we will be guilty of a terrible sin," Xuanqiu Zhenjun said solemnly, trying to persuade Qin Sang to go down and bring them up.

Qin Sang gently shook her head, "They can handle it. This is a rare opportunity for them to learn. If they can't hold on, I will step in."

Seeing that Qin Sang had complete confidence in his disciple, the True Lords stopped trying to dissuade him.

At this moment, deep within the fiery abyss.

The two women were moving through a bright red forest. They were moving at lightning speed, having already unleashed their strongest speeds. It seemed as if there were pursuers chasing them.

Without seeing it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that such a vast jungle is hidden deep within the Fire Abyss.

This jungle is well-arranged, with various kinds of spirit trees growing inside. Their appearances are very different, but without exception, they are all bright red like blood.

These spirit trees are rooted in the sea of ​​fire. The flames lick at their trunks, but they do not ignite them. Instead, the firelight makes them appear even more eerie.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

Bai Ying'er and the others pushed their escape techniques to the limit, their escape beams crashing through spirit trees one after another, creating deafening roars.

The broken tree crown crashed into the sea of ​​fire, stirring up layers of flames, but when the spirit tree was engulfed by the flames, an identical spirit tree would grow back in the same place.

As you can see, the jungle quickly returned to normal wherever the two women went, but loud noises kept coming from behind, as if some monster was rampaging through the jungle.

At this moment, Yu Ying's aura was weak, as if she had suffered a hidden injury, and Bai Ying'er's condition was also somewhat bad.

"Senior sister, that formation is about to be broken," Yu Ying said anxiously.

Before they entered, they had set up a formation in the jungle to buy time in case of danger. It had come in handy, but the enemy's strength far exceeded their expectations, and the formation wouldn't last much longer.

In fact, they didn't expect to encounter such a formidable enemy here.

It is said that there were no living creatures in the Qilin Cave Heaven at the beginning, and the Fire Abyss had only been formed for a short time and did not yet have the conditions to give birth to a fire spirit. Logically speaking, there should only be a few True Monarch disciples here.

Unfortunately, they encountered a living creature here and were being chased by it.

Just now, Yu Ying was almost seriously injured. She only managed to maintain her current speed by relying on that formation. Once the formation is broken, they will be caught up.

Bai Ying'er said in a deep voice, "I have calculated a way to escape from this place. We have no choice but to take this gamble. Junior sister, listen carefully..."

"Let me cover your rear for you, Senior Sister," Yu Ying said, about to use a secret technique to forcefully suppress her injuries.

Bai Ying'er shook her head, "My master bestowed upon me the Heaven-Binding Golden Lock and the Earth-Imprisoning Divine Ring, which are supreme treasures for confinement, and they should be used now!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ying said no more, carefully noting down Bai Ying'er's next words. Then, the two women arrived above a spirit tree and suddenly descended with their escape light.

Yu Ying closed her eyes slightly and summoned a lotus platform. The six-petaled lotus platform spun violently, and the lotus petals suddenly detached from the platform, transforming into six streams of fire that swirled and flew up.

The fire stream spun faster and faster, creating fiery hurricanes around it, and the visible vortexes seemed to be tearing the space apart.

In an instant, a strange change occurred. The surrounding trees seemed to come alive, stretching out their branches and transforming into menacing tree demons. Countless branches wrapped around them, trying to tear the fiery hurricane apart and leave the two women here forever.

With a crisp clang, golden light spread out, and the branches that approached them stopped twisting, imprisoned by the void.

The crisis was not over; the loud noise was rapidly approaching.

Bai Ying'er's expression was tense as she stared intently at what was behind her.

Finally, the fiery hurricane swept into the sky, tearing a tiny crack in the sky above them.

Without hesitation, the two women soared into the sky, and at the same time saw a crimson light burst out of the jungle and pounce towards them.

'Whoosh!'

A strong wind blew in my face.

At the last moment, the Golden Lock Divine Ring trembled violently, and an extremely dense golden light fell upon that figure.

A fiery red claw extended from the crimson light, almost within arm's reach of the two women, but was blocked by the void domain and passed them by.

'Splash!'

The two women fled into the crevice, where a dangerous wave of fire rushed towards them, but they felt a strange sense of comfort, as if they had survived a catastrophe and were panting heavily.

Yu Ying's expression turned even paler. Bai Ying'er flashed to shield Yu Ying from the flames, but suddenly felt the heat around her recede, as if she had returned to land.

"Master!"

A familiar figure appeared before them, and both women were overjoyed.

"The training is over, you can go up now," Qin Sang said, her gaze passing over them and looking at the sea of ​​fire behind them.

"Master, we encountered a Qilin inside!" Bai Ying'er exclaimed urgently, her recent experience being utterly unbelievable.

Qin Sang nodded, "I already know, you should leave here first."

As she spoke, Qin Sang suddenly turned her gaze to another direction of the sea of ​​fire. Just a moment ago, the space where that forest was located had shifted to another place.

The next moment, Qin Sang disappeared into thin air, and based on the magic scrolls left by the two women, he tracked down to the location of the jungle.

The two women actually saw a Qilin with their own eyes. Could there be a living Qilin here? How did it manage to hide it from so many people?
Without any apparent preparation, Qin Sang descended directly into the jungle.

Looking around, everything was unusually calm. It was the same when the two women first entered. After they encountered the Qilin, the jungle underwent a transformation, as if the jungle was controlled by the Qilin.

Unlike the two women, he did not slowly search through the jungle.

With a slight thought, a sword intent suddenly appeared and quickly spread. Wherever the sword intent passed, sword stars hung in the sky, and the spiritual trees below shed their branches and turned into crimson spiritual swords.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Sang was surrounded by a forest of swords.

At this moment, Qin Sang sensed something and slowly moved forward. The sword forest continued to expand forward with his steps.

Deep in the jungle, a sacred pool is hidden.

The pool is filled with crystal-clear lava. It is located under a towering tree with roots that protrude from the sea of ​​fire, coiling like dragons. A small beast lies asleep on the roots.

The little beast seemed to sense danger, suddenly raised its head, and then leaped up.

The moment it leaped up, the giant trees around it and the roots beneath it all transformed into longswords.

With a 'whoosh', a spirit sword pierced through the lava, shot out of the spirit pool, and stabbed towards the little beast's abdomen.

Before the little beast could figure out the way out, it was already surrounded by sword forest, and all sides were blocked by spirit swords.

Qin Sang looked at the small beasts darting left and right among the swords with surprise.

It really was a Qilin, almost identical in appearance to the one he had seen in the Qilin Fire Wall, but its size had shrunk several times over, to the size of a fox.

The little beast had already fallen into Qin Sang's sword domain and could no longer escape. Qin Sang couldn't bear to hurt it, so she trapped the little beast in the sword cage.

The sword intent was withdrawn, and the surroundings immediately returned to the jungle. The sword cage flew back to Qin Sang, and when it was opened, the Qilin inside was gone, replaced by a crystal-clear jade.

The jade radiated a crimson glow, as if it were a jade embryo.

Qin Sang let out a soft exclamation, "It's neither a weapon spirit nor a fire spirit?"

He had just noticed that the little Qilin was a bit strange and couldn't possibly be a real Qilin, so he guessed that it might be a spirit of an artifact or a fire spirit that was accidentally born in the Qilin Cave.

Regardless of its origin, it could help him understand the ancient Qilin imperial clan and the power of that grotto-heaven.

Unexpectedly, it was neither, nor even a living being, and had no spirit whatsoever.

Recalling what had just happened, the little Qilin's expression was blank, lacking the liveliness that a living being should have.

Qin Sang picked up the jade embryo, feeling its warmth. After a moment of contemplation, she withdrew her sword intent seal. The jade embryo's energy immediately resonated with the forest, sprouting four hooves, a head, and a tail in front of Qin Sang, transforming into a Qilin.

'Shuh! '

Upon seeing Qin Sang so close, the little Qilin immediately chose to flee, but its expression showed no fear whatsoever.

Qin Sang made a move and easily caught it back, which then transformed back into the jade embryo in Qin Sang's hands.

This was repeated several times. Qin Sang looked at the jade embryo and thought to herself that it was strange.

The little Qilin has the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm and to protect its territory, but it is not a living creature, but just a jade embryo, which is obviously related to the surrounding forest.

Qin Sang withdrew her gaze and looked around.

"This place..."

Gradually, he began to notice some clues, thanks to the Nine Earth Furnace Casting Secret Technique that Yuan Zhenjun had recently taught him.

If this jungle is viewed as a furnace, then the jade embryo is the object inside.

Could it be that the jade embryo was a treasure crafted by a Qilin, and for some reason, it was not taken away in time and was left here?
So what is the purpose of this treasure...?

Qin Sang examined it carefully and found that the object seemed to be incomplete, like an unfinished spiritual embryo.

Thinking of this, Qin Sang had a flash of inspiration. Could it be a treasure that the Qilin had not yet finished refining? It had been stored in the Qilin Cave for countless years, and some of its characteristics had changed, making it impossible to see its original appearance.

If it were a true Qilin treasure, he might not be able to control it. But if it were a spiritual embryo, there would be a possibility of modification, and he might be able to use it to refine a treasure of his own!

He is preparing for the Yang God's union with the Dao. One Mani Bead is not enough. He may try to forge a weapon using a jade embryo, but before that, he needs to understand the characteristics of the jade embryo.

This was an unexpected delight. Qin Sang held the jade embryo in her hand and walked through every inch of the forest to make sure there was nothing she had overlooked.

He then brought the jade embryo out of the forest and, following his own magic scroll, opened the secret realms in the Fire Abyss one by one. He gained something from most of them, mainly various fire-elemental spiritual materials, which were all rare treasures of heaven and earth nurtured by the Qilin Cave. It seems that the weapon he will use after merging with the Dao has been found.

Not long after, the True Lords reunited beside the Cloud Platform, preparing to forge the Nine Earth Furnaces!
