System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

This isn't the first time the Qilin on the shoulder has appeared; it's not a tattoo, but a three-dimensional one, embedded in the flesh.

Zhang Hao knew that this Qilin must be a Qilin whose bloodline had taken human form, because the evolution of the Qilin bloodline had accelerated, which was why it was reacting.

Don't underestimate this Qilin, which is only the size of a fist. It is one of the ancient mythical beasts with immense power.

Once the Qilin bloodline evolves to level 9 and successfully transforms into human form, it will be able to emerge from the flesh and blood.

That will greatly enhance your abilities.

With this thought in mind, Zhang Hao took out the remaining three drops of Qilin blood from his storage space.

I just fused a drop of Qilin blood, triggering a fusion critical hit and gaining 200 points of bloodline evolution progress.

I originally thought that the remaining three drops of Qilin blood would be wasted.

The system then indicated that the mysterious item has no limit on the number of fusion attempts and can be fused an unlimited number of times.

Zhang Hao then took out the Qilin blood and prepared to fuse it all together.

[Ding, command received. Initiating fusion now.]

As soon as the system notification sounded, the Qilin blood in Zhang Hao's hand immediately turned into a pool of fiery red liquid, just like magma, and also emitted an extreme high temperature.

Zhang Hao felt the molecules carrying high temperatures enter his body and fuse with all the cells in his body.

After the body absorbed and fused with all the Qilin blood, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding, congratulations host, 86th fusion completed. Fusion item: Qilin Blood.] 44 remaining.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing with Qilin blood. You have gained the item trait: Qilin bloodline evolution progress increased by 100 points.]

【叮，恭喜宿主麒麟血脉进化进度提升100点，麒麟血脉等级+1提升到6阶（12/480）。】

[Ding! The Qilin bloodline level has been upgraded, and all associated attributes have been doubled.]

[Ding! The Qilin bloodline has successfully evolved to level 5, increasing insect-repelling ability by 6400%, evil-repelling ability by 6400%, and lifespan by 25600 years.]

This fusion did not trigger a critical hit, but I still gained 100 points of Qilin bloodline evolution progress. The Qilin bloodline level increased again, and I can unlock the bloodline transformation ability after upgrading 3 more times.

Zhang Hao glanced at the attribute panel and saw that after advancing the Qilin bloodline, the evolution points required for the next advancement had increased exponentially.

Fortunately, there are still two Qilin bloods in the area, and after merging them, the evolution progress will increase by at least 200 points.

Zhang Hao commanded the system: "System, fuse with Qilin blood."

[Ding, command received. Initiating fusion now.]

……

With the addition of a drop of Qilin blood, the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline has increased again, reaching 112/480.

Zhang Hao glanced at the last drop of Qilin blood in his hand and continued the fusion process.

[Ding, command received. Initiating fusion now.]

[Ding, congratulations host, 87th fusion completed. Fusion item: Qilin Blood.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing with Qilin blood. You have gained the item trait: Qilin bloodline evolution progress increased by 100 points.]

[Ding! A fusion critical hit has been triggered, doubling the fusion attributes and granting the item trait: Increases the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline by 200 points.]

Another fusion critical hit!

I fused with the Qilin blood a total of four times, and there were two critical hits. I have to say I was lucky during these fusions.

Keep in mind that after unlocking the Fusion Critical Strike, it failed to trigger in the first few attempts.

Four drops of Qilin blood could only increase evolution progress by 400 points, but after two critical hits, it increased to 600 points.

Zhang Hao glanced at the attribute list; the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline had reached 312/480. It needed 168 more evolution progress points to evolve to the 7th tier.

It's a pity that all the Qilin blood was used up, otherwise we could have leveled up in one go.

This is the first time I've obtained a mysterious item since acquiring the All Things Fusion System; it was obtained through a sacrifice.

I don't know if I'll have another chance to get it.

However, through this fusion, Zhang Hao also realized one thing: fusing with special blood can greatly accelerate the evolution of the Qilin bloodline.

While special blood types are rare in the world of tomb raiding, they do exist.

The Angry Rooster has a faint phoenix bloodline, and the Flood Dragon also has a faint divine dragon bloodline...

If one could obtain this bloodline, the improvement to the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline should be greater than the improvement brought by fusing rare items.

……

The next day, just as dawn broke, Zhang Hao and his group drove to the airport and boarded a plane to Beijing.

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie had already resolved the issue of the water demon's mutation, but their families still had matters to attend to, so they didn't join them.

They promised Zhang Hao that they would come back and work with him after he finished dealing with his family affairs.

As for Meng Qianzi, she returned to Furong Town to continue being the Mountain Ghost King.

……

Beijing, airport.

Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, and Fatty saw Xie Xiaohua waiting for them at the exit as soon as they came out of the airport.

Xie Xiaohua immediately came to greet the three of them.

He glanced around and asked, "Where's the young man? Didn't he go to western Hunan with you? Where did he go?"

"Wasn't it just here? How did it suddenly disappear?"

Wu Tianzhen clearly remembered that Zhang Qilin got off the plane with them. He was just beside her a moment ago, but suddenly he disappeared.

"This guy hasn't mysteriously disappeared for a long time, why is he starting to disappear again now?"

The fat man chuckled.

"Look over there, who's that!"

Zhang Hao pointed towards the restroom, and only then did everyone realize that Zhang Qilin had gone to the restroom.

When he arrived, Xie Xiaohua led everyone into the car.

"Xiuxiu disappeared three days ago. Huo Youxue must have kidnapped her, but I have no evidence. In addition, Old Madam Huo is seriously ill, so I can't do anything to her."

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

Zhang Hao was so certain because he received a message from Hei Feizi as soon as he got off the plane.

Huo Youxue kidnapped Huo Xiuxiu but only imprisoned her; she did not kill her. The place where she was imprisoned was the Huo family's old mansion.

"Uncle, do you have any news?"

When Xie Xiaohua heard Zhang Hao's certainty, she immediately realized something.

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Let's go to the Huo family."

"Uncle, do you mean Xiuxiu is with the Huo family?"

"Ah."

Upon receiving a response, Xie Xiaohua immediately changed direction and drove the car towards the Huo family's old residence.

"Uncle, you just got off the plane, how did you know Xiuxiu was at the Huo family?"

“I had already used the Xie family’s connections to investigate for several days, but I didn’t find a single clue.”

"Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective."

Zhang Hao smiled. The Black Flying Soldiers were the Wang family's trump card. They were able to grow and expand in a short period of time by relying on dozens of Black Flying Soldiers to control first-hand information on major underground forces across the country.

Without Hei Feizi, the Wang family's power would have been greatly diminished.

Zhang Hao has more of these black-plated slingshots than the Wang family does.

Finding information about a living person is naturally a piece of cake.

An hour later, an SUV slowly came to a stop outside a manor on the outskirts of Beijing.

Zhang Hao and the others got out of the car.

"This family of tomb raiders is really something else! This manor must be at least several thousand square meters. Not only is it large, but it's also nestled against the mountains and by the water. In a place like Beijing where land is so valuable, you can't buy it even if you have the money!"
