Chapter 2202 - 2202 2192 Qilin's Cave

2202: Chapter 2192: Qilin’s Cave 2202: Chapter 2192: Qilin’s Cave Long Yan looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with a smiling face, extending his finger towards the third Sea Bowl but did not lift its cover.

The shopkeeper’s sweat turned into a look of gratitude, and in his haste, he wiped his hand inside the third Sea Bowl, and a crimson Demon Pill appeared within.

The shopkeeper, after lifting the cover of the Sea Bowl, congratulated Long Yan.

“Congratulations, guest, you have really hit the jackpot!”

The last few words trembled continuously, clearly exhausting a great effort from the shopkeeper; he couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain.

Today could truly be described as losing both his wife and his soldiers.

Not only had he lost the Heavenly Demon Pill, even the Qilin Blood was also given away, a treasure he always treasured and was reluctant to use.

But today, Long Yan won them both.

Long Yan glanced at the people around him, in fact, he wasn’t too interested in either the Heavenly Demon Pill or the Qilin Blood, but he wanted to know the whereabouts of the Qilin.

Long Yan always felt that something obstructed his Martial God Array, as otherwise, with the power of the five Sacred Beasts, it should have given him a much stronger amplification.

As a result, he saw that his Martial God Array did not play a big role in the fight.

People around understandingly dispersed, those who were originally standing in front of the stall, layer by layer, scattered in all directions.

The next thing was Long Yan’s prize, and it wasn’t appropriate for anyone else to listen.

“Guest, thank you!”

The shopkeeper, not knowing from where he picked up this etiquette, gave Long Yan a fist salute, today if it wasn’t for Long Yan’s mercy at the critical moment, he might have been unable to continue mingling in Chu Official City.

“No worries, I just want to know where exactly is the Qilin in the south of the city, and if there are any dangers or anything?”

Long Yan looked at the shopkeeper before him, he was only interested in this news, and not so much in the other items, unexpectedly the shopkeeper just revealed a bitter smile.

“Guest, I’ve never entered that Qilin’s nest.

This bottle of Qilin Blood was a family heirloom left by my late father who once saved a Qilin when he was young.”

Left without a choice, the shopkeeper had to tell the truth; he had no strength to enter the Qilin’s nest to extract the blood, this bottle was left by his father before he passed away and now it had also been won by Long Yan.

“So that’s it.”

Disappointment flashed across Long Yan’s face; he had originally thought that Sacred Beasts existed in this world, who would have guessed, it was just the shopkeeper’s bragging.

Beside, Xing Rou was astonished watching Long Yan actually employ such a method, it was indeed surprising to her.

However, upon hearing the shopkeeper say that it all was his bragging, Xing Rou angrily smacked the table.

“You monster, just spinning tales.”

Seeing Xing Rou’s flushed cheeks, the shopkeeper showed a scared expression.

He had originally thought that Long Yan definitely could not win the game and hence had not prepared for losing, but it turned out that Long Yan had made a surprise move, and now the true nature of things was revealed.

“Enough, but what’s this about the Qilin in the south of the city?”

Since the shopkeeper hadn’t entered, but the Qilin’s nest should still exist, Long Yan planned to have a look for himself.

“Guest, do you know about the Demon Mountain in the south of the city that’s being widely talked about now?”

The shopkeeper mysteriously spoke to Long Yan, indeed, it was not all bragging, he actually had looked into this Qilin’s old lair before.

“I did really see a Qilin back then.”

Seeing Long Yan listening attentively, the shopkeeper gestured excitedly as he described to Long Yan the scene he had once seen.

All the children in Chu Official City were told from a young age to stay away from several places.

The first was Demon Mountain.

Originally, this mountain was quite ordinary.

However, one day, Purple Qi enveloped the sky, and the ruler of Demon Mountain immediately dispatched experts to investigate.

But the outcome was destined; none of the experts returned that night.

This caused the City Lord great anger, so he went personally but returned severely injured.

Before dying, he merely warned everyone not to go to Demon Mountain, claiming that the Purple Qi there was a true Qilin.

And so, it remains this way today.

No one would bother going there.

That day, the shopkeeper was also looking to gather herbs in the mountains when he inadvertently entered the Qilin’s nest.

Listening to the shopkeeper’s vivid storytelling, in his mouth the Qilin was a creature with six heads and eight legs, which made Long Yan highly skeptical about the existence of the Qilin.

Beside them, Xing Rou looked at the shopkeeper making fierce gestures somewhat dumbfounded, obviously, she had also heard of this legend, but having never seen the true form of the Qilin, Long Yan thought for a moment then asked the shopkeeper for the exact location of the Qilin.

“You’re not thinking of going there, are you?”

Xing Rou looked at Long Yan with a doubtful gaze.

What does this person want with the Sacred Beast?

Her impression of Long Yan instantly lowered greatly.

“I have a little something to do.”

“You better not go.

The power of a Sacred Beast is beyond your imagination.”

Xing Rou tried to persuade Long Yan, considering him as one of those who wanted to profit from the Sacred Beast.

Each year, many greedy people die in the lair of Sacred Beasts, as every part of a Sacred Beast is a treasure.

“Hmm?”

Long Yan was startled, then realized Xing Rou might have misunderstood him.

He didn’t bother to explain, only giving Xing Rou a faint smile and tossing the Heavenly Demon Pill he had just received from the shopkeeper over to her.

Xing Rou caught the Heavenly Demon Pill in her hands, standing there stunned.

What did Long Yan mean, was he bribing her?

To get her to join him in hunting the Qilin?

Long Yan did not speak further but asked the shopkeeper for directions and walked confidently forward.

Xing Rou followed closely behind Long Yan, but not because of the Heavenly Demon Pill; she didn’t want to see Long Yan walk into certain death.

Along the way, Xing Rou earnestly warned Long Yan about how incredibly powerful the Sacred Beast was, but Long Yan continued to follow the direction given by the shopkeeper unwaveringly.

“Stop, why won’t you listen!”

Xing Rou stood in front of Long Yan, her face filled with frustration.

Her cute expression almost made Long Yan laugh.

“Relax, I’m not going to fight the Sacred Beast.

I just want to ask a question.”

Long Yan gave Xing Rou a reassuring look and then bypassed her, moving ahead.

Seeing that Long Yan wasn’t taking her advice, Xing Rou angrily stomped her foot but still followed Long Yan.

Do you really think this Sacred Beast is your relative?

You can’t just go and ask questions as you please.

Xing Rou was furiously puffing up, watching Long Yan leading the way, she really wanted to pin him to the ground and give him a good beating.

In silence, the two traversed a woodland before finally seeing the Cave that the shopkeeper had mentioned.

The cave was extremely concealed; without Long Yan knowing the exact location, it would have been hard to find.

“How about it, do you want to go back first?”

Long Yan asked Xing Rou, who was shuddering in fear, as terrifying fluctuations emitted intermittently from within the cave.
