The Master of Beasts
Chapter 37 Mo Qilin and Immortal City

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Mo Qilin and Immortal City

Elves are a type of Lifebound Spiritual Beast, and also a special category of Spiritual Beast. For example, the Plant Elf that Chen Jiuge once asked his mother for is one such type.

The Bloodline of Elves doesn’t have a clear upper limit. As long as one is willing to invest resources, an Elf-type Spiritual Beast can successfully reach the Seventh Rank. Of course, the resources consumed in this process are immense. Without a significant financial foundation, one would naturally not cultivate such Spiritual Beasts.

However, because of this, it is much more difficult for the Bloodline of Elf-type Spiritual Beasts to reach the Immortal Rank than it is for other Spiritual Beasts.

Chen Jiuge accepted this task mainly because, unlike the Plant Elf, the Bloodline of the Fire Elf isn’t particularly pure. This is especially true for the Five Elements Elves, which inevitably contain traces of other Bloodlines. The specific reason was beyond Chen Jiuge’s understanding. Such secrets are not known to those at the Nascent Soul stage.

Indeed, Elf-type Spiritual Beasts are special in another aspect as well. The Golden Finger cannot extract the main Bloodline of the Elf-type, which Chen Jiuge had already tested. Otherwise, Chen Jiuge would have massively cultivated Seventh Rank Bloodline Five Elements Elves and become enormously wealthy.

However, this task was relatively more dangerous. This couldn’t really be blamed on Senior Brother Lin En. After all, Lin En had mentioned it before. Hundred Herbs Peak is the main Inner Sect Mountain for cultivating Spiritual Medicine, and the strongest Cultivators there are mostly Spiritual Plant Masters. Spiritual Plant Masters are well-known homebodies who dislike venturing out, so naturally, Senior Brother Lin En couldn’t gather much information.

The Burning Sky Flying Boat of Vermilion Bird Peak was incomparably faster than the leisurely Heavenly Kun. The Array covering the entire Flying Boat was partly designed to prevent the Disciples inside from being injured by the fierce winds, showcasing just how extraordinary its speed was.

Even with such astonishing speed, it still took nearly a month to arrive at Mo Qilin Immortal City. During the journey, Elder Nine employed multiple cross-void teleportations. However, even with the Array’s assistance, guiding such a large Flying Boat was somewhat exhausting, even for a Heavenly Immortal.

After all, the spatial stability of the Heavenly Realm and the fragile spatial barriers of minor worlds were vastly different.

"Is this Mo Qilin Immortal City?" Chen Jiuge remarked, gazing at the majestic city walls, which were clearly visible even from a great distance.

The name Mo Qilin Immortal City wasn’t chosen randomly. The First Senior Brother, as the Sect Master’s Direct Disciple, had already achieved Heavenly Immortal strength and was said to be only a step away from Golden Immortal. The Mo Qilin was one of the First Senior Brother’s Lifebound Spirit Beasts and was said to possess Heavenly Immortal Cultivation.

Due to ongoing construction, the Burning Sky Flying Boat couldn’t dock inside the city. Thus, Chen Jiuge and the other Disciples had to disembark outside and walk in.

As they drew closer, Chen Jiuge observed the Mo Qilin.

Yes, it was the Mo Qilin rumored to have Heavenly Immortal Cultivation.

He looked at the short, small Mo Qilin, which was sitting dejectedly by the city gate with two beautiful Female Cultivators peeling fruit for it.

"Is this the Mo Qilin?" Chen Jiuge asked Lin En beside him, somewhat bewildered.

This Mo Qilin didn’t resemble a Heavenly Immortal expert at all, leaving Lin En himself uncertain. He hesitantly said, "I think so."

At that moment, a Disciple in a bright red Vestment Robe from Vermilion Bird Peak gave a definitive answer: "This is the First Senior Brother’s Mo Qilin, the Mo Yang Venerable."

Chen Jiuge looked at that Disciple, who was one of those closest to Elder Nine from Vermilion Bird Peak. His certainty about this being the Mo Qilin means his status and position are definitely not low; he might even be a Direct Disciple of Elder Nine or something similar.

Seeing his own Disciples approaching, the Mo Qilin, who had been lazily lying on a chair, suddenly stood up and cleared his throat, preparing to display his majesty before his juniors. But the next moment, upon seeing Elder Nine of Vermilion Bird Peak, his bravado vanished.

Mo Yang said somewhat helplessly, "Why is it you, you old geezer? Where is Wen Lie from your peak?"

After speaking, his tiny body kept darting around, as if he were still searching for Wen Lie.

"Mo Yang, stop messing around. Wudao Tian left you here because there’s serious business to attend to," Elder Ouyang Xingwen said with a frown.

"I know—it’s just a minor matter I can handle alone. If I weren’t forbidden from harming them, I would have resolved it already. It would only take a bit more time. Dao Tian sent you all here merely to deal with those people from the Bihai Immortal Sect. I have no idea why they’re making such a fuss—it’s just the Heavenly Fire Marrow, yet they sent a Heavenly Immortal."

"What’s more infuriating is that you Vermilion Bird Peak folks actually sent *you*, and that old fellow Wen Lie didn’t even come," Mo Yang said, somewhat discontentedly.

Ouyang Xingwen couldn’t be bothered with this erratic Mo Qilin and left with a few Disciples from Vermilion Bird Peak.

As Ouyang Xingwen walked away, Mo Yang began to show off again, looking at the new juniors from his sect.

With a small leap, he jumped onto the table where the fruit plate was set, looking down from his perch at Chen Jiuge and the others. "Little fellows, do you know who I am?"

"That’s right! I am your most, most, most adorable Mo Yang Venerable! Now, I am going to pick two lucky ones from among you to become my Attendants." As Mo Yang spoke, he turned his gaze toward the most beautiful Female Cultivator among the group of Disciples.

Everyone was excited upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Immortal expert, their faces practically screaming, "Pick me! Pick me!"

Unfortunately, before Mo Yang could make his choice, a giant, flaming hand materialized inside the city gate and forcefully dragged Mo Yang inside.

"Ouyang Xingwen, you old fogey, let me go! How dare you treat the most, most, most adorable Lord Mo Yang this way? You’re done for! AARGH, IT HURTS, IT HURTS! GO EASY ON MY BUTT!"

As Mo Yang’s cries faded, the noble image of the Heavenly Immortal shattered in everyone’s minds.

Chen Jiuge said in a daze, "Is this really First Senior Brother’s Lifebound Spirit Beast? It just feels... a bit too lively."

"Haha, I think so too," Lin En chuckled in agreement.

At this moment, the two Maids who had been serving Mo Yang stepped forward. "Everyone, you should have received your assignments on the Flying Boat. Please come register now, and someone will guide you to your task locations."

The line was long, but with many people in the Immortal City, it moved quickly. In less than half an hour, it was Chen Jiuge’s turn.

"Fire Elf Cultivation?" the Maid asked, somewhat surprised.

"There are two types of Fire Elf Cultivation tasks. One is to purify the Fire Elf Bloodline; it seems that’s the one you’ve picked. However, your Cultivation is a bit lacking. I suggest you undertake the Fire Elf breeding task instead. It’s safer, and the Merit Points aren’t bad either. If a bred Fire Elf shows an increase in Bloodline potential, the rewards and Cultivation Merits will be the same," the Maid recommended. _{fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m}

"I don’t think I saw that on the task list?" Chen Jiuge asked.

"The Immortal City has just been established, so there are many tasks. What’s listed is only a small portion. So, which one will you choose?" the Maid asked.

Chen Jiuge thought for a moment and chose the Fire Elf breeding task. Since there were Merit Points to be gained and the purification benefits were the same, taking on an additional Fire Elf breeding task would earn him more Merit Points. Besides, my Golden Finger is best suited for managing large Spirit Beast Groups.
