Chapter 259: Chapter 123 Father Taiping Duke

This Mountain Marrow, like a Qi Mechanism, was encapsulated in a crystal that was neither metal nor stone and sealed within wood.

When it encountered fire, it ignited; when it met water, it dissolved; when it met earth, it entered.

If it encountered a fleshly body, it would automatically circulate and transform. Li Guanyi did not know that such mystical heavenly materials and earthly treasures each had their corresponding extraction method. At that moment, as the Qilin roared, following its instincts like a hungry person eating or a thirsty person drinking, it swallowed the Mountain Marrow in one gulp.

Li Guanyi could only watch helplessly as the Qi he had used to save the Qilin dissipated.

Then he saw a bright yellow Qi surge within the body of the Qilin Dharma Form. The Qilin kept roaring as if in extreme pain. Li Guanyi couldn’t care about anything else; he waved his hand, and the other Dharma Forms flew out, surrounding the Qilin in the middle in the positions of the Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation.

Thus, the Qilin’s roaring was suppressed.

But the roaring did not disappear; it just echoed in that small courtyard, growing more solemn. The Dharma Forms and Li Guanyi’s minds were connected, and he sensed the changes happening in the Qilin Dharma Form. The pure Fire Essence Qi attempted to swallow the Qi of the Mountain Marrow.

However, the Mountain Marrow Qi was an artifact of the same rank as the Qilin’s True Body.

It was a pure Earth Qi.

Fire generates earth.

When the Fire Qilin’s Fire Element surged in, not only did it fail to suppress the Earth Qi, but it also caused the Earth Qi to rapidly expand. The Fire Qilin emitted a series of deep, painful roars, and its very existence began to face problems.

In this critical moment, Li Guanyi became even calmer.

The Four Spirits Dharma Forms roared in unison, dragons roared and tigers howled, phoenixes cried, and turtles bellowed. The youth’s hair flew up, his hands forming the seals of the Yin Yang Family, and he said, "How can you be greedier than me!"

This moment was even more dangerous than the previous confrontation with Hou Zhongyu.

At that moment, Li Guanyi was alone in deducing the Great Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation. Dragons roared and tigershowled. The Four Spirits continuously changed positions, aiding the Fire Qilin’s transformation with the logic of generation and restraint of the Five Elements, preserving its true spirit without destruction or change, constantly generating and restraining the Five Elements.

Accompanied by the miniature deductions of this peerless great formation.

Li Guanyi’s blood flowed rapidly, and the acupoint between his eyebrows even started to hurt.

In his previous life, he had heard a saying.

Talismans should not be casually drawn. If you don’t have the skill to draw them, then it’s better not to. But if you do draw them correctly, it results in using up mana or, lacking mana, blood. At this moment, the depletion of Primordial Spirit power at the ancestor acupoint and the turmoil of Qi and blood in his body were both rapidly changing.

Just when Li Guanyi felt he might suffer a great loss of Primordial Qi, suddenly, familiar medicinal power emerged from his muscles and bones, causing the Qi and blood in his body to surge and roll again.

The latent medicinal power of the Eternal Moon Undying Elixir was forced out under such circumstances.

Such a miraculous medicine, with Li Guanyi’s second realm, could not be completely absorbed.

Realizing this, the youth breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed with great joy,

"Hou Zhongyu, Hou Zhongyu, I am truly so thankful to you!"

"You are truly a good person!"

At that moment, as his Qi and blood were rapidly depleting, the latent medicinal power was stimulated anew, and simultaneously, amidst Li Guanyi’s deduction and transformation of the formation, the Fire Qilin gradually lost its initial ferocity and dominance and instead exhibited a grand and magnificent presence.

Li Guanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The Four Spirits guarded the Heavenly Que, with Earth sitting at the center.

Amid the dragons’ roars and tigers’ howls, the red Qilin Fire suddenly scattered in all directions, and then the ground began to shake and bulge. A propitious Qilin, adorned with bright yellow scale armor, its mane slightly quivering, its four feet atop flames, displaying both crimson and bright yellow auspicious colors, slowly stepped forward.

Between Li Guanyi’s Five Dharma Forms, a mysterious connection had finally formed.

Li Guanyi realized,

there was no need to forcibly unify the Dharma Forms into one. When all Five Elements Dharma Forms appeared simultaneously, a natural cycle formed between the Dharma Forms. Standing there, with the Fire and Earth Auspicious Qilin beside him, dragons and phoenixes in the sky, and the White Tiger quietly pressing its paws as if in a myth reborn.

But the Mystic Turtle alone.

The Mystic Turtle lay on Li Guanyi’s shoulder.

One claw clutched at the youth’s black hair.

The other claw pointed towards the distant direction of the Book Collection Pavilion.

Its eyes full of longing, it seemed afraid that Li Guanyi hadn’t noticed it.

It pointed more forcefully in that direction.

"Don’t worry, after the grand competition, there will be a chance," Li Guanyi soothed the Mystic Turtle, then gazing at the now hollowed-out hexagonal crystal, having passed the danger, his eyes filled with pain and regret.

Unexpectedly, the Mountain Marrow was a Qi Mechanism. Since it caused a change in his Qilin Dharma Form, that meant it was useful to the Qilin. Hou Zhongyu’s direction was not wrong.

Such a treasure, even the Empress would be cautious.

In the short term, he could not even dream of obtaining a second one, but how to let the Qilin emerge?

While Li Guanyi was regretting, suddenly he heard a cold voice saying, "Mountain Marrow Spirit Transformation into an Earth Qilin, somewhat interesting, but that’s all." Li Guanyi clenched his weapon and suddenly looked up, seeing a man standing on the wall.

White hair hung to his waist like weeds, his eyes were cold, and he stood with his hands behind his back.

Li Guanyi felt a slight discomfort at his ancestor acupoint.

Suddenly, noticing in the wind that the old man’s clothes did not flutter at all, his entire being appeared like a shadow, almost an illusion. The old man watched Li Guanyi, frowned, and said, "I thought, the one who understood the formation I left behind, which is not a formation but a cultivation technique, was who?"

"It turns out to be just a youngster."

Left behind formation?

Li Guanyi then realized who this man actually was.
