Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire; the Qilin's Invitation

Wu Chu was somewhat dissatisfied with the old fox bringing outsiders to Purple Jade Mountain.

However, since the old fox already knew his stance on the Three Clans, he still brought people over, so he probably couldn't refuse!

Since the other party was Qilin Clan from the Qilin Clan, Wu Chu couldn't directly express his dissatisfaction. He had to give the Qilin Clan some face.

After all, this clan is the king of the Beast Clan, and their power is too great.

Faced with Wu Chu's question, Feng Wu was clearly somewhat surprised that someone would care about such a thing. However, Feng Wu still explained, "I don't know what a surname is, but our Qilin Clan does indeed use the four elements of 'earth, wind, water, and fire' as prefixes to choose our Daoist names."

The Three Primordial Clans the dragon, the phoenix, and the Qilin Clan. The Dragon Clan used the character 'Ao' as their surname. There are many theories about how this surname came about.

But those explanations certainly don't hold water in this Primordial World. All that can be said is that the Dragon Clan chose this surname themselves, and Wu Chu doesn't know the reasoning behind it.

I never imagined that the surname of the Qilin Clan came about in this way.

"I see! Qingqiu, Fellow Daoist Feng, please!"

Although he wasn't particularly keen on dealing with these Three Primordial Clans, since they had already come, it would be impolite not to invite them in for a seat.

The Guardian Formation was activated, and the clouds surrounding the Sacred Tree dispersed, revealing the Summit of the Sacred Tree and the surrounding mountains, which immediately caught Feng Wu's attention.

The group rode the clouds to the Summit of the Sacred Tree. Although Qingqiu Chen had been here once before, he was still quite surprised by the changes in Purple Jade Mountain, especially the dock by the lake, the multi -Tower Ship, and the Flower Valley... all of which made him take notice.

Feng Wu was even more so, exuding an aura of Merit Spiritual Treasure, which raised Feng Wu's evaluation of Wu Chu to a new level.

In particular, the aura of Merit emanating from Wu Chu was so intense that it startled him.

Of course, Yibao still concealed some of its aura to avoid revealing that it was a Merit Supreme Treasure. After all, the opponent was the Qilin Clan, one of the Three Primordial Clans. What if they suddenly tried to snatch his Merit Supreme Treasure?

Although the possibility of stealing the Merit Supreme Treasure is actually not very high, after all, the Merit Supreme Treasure Taiyi from other Spirit Treasure and is more likely to be Heavenly Retribution.

In this Primordial Land, Heavenly Retribution is a truly existing phenomenon.

However, it's best to be cautious when facing a powerful race like the Qilin Clan.

Upon arriving at the Main Hall, the group took their seats. Wu Chu assigned Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox to serve spirit wine and spirit fruits. Only then did Wu Chu say to the old fox, "Last time we parted in haste, and I couldn't let you stay with me for longer. This time, I can't let that happen again."

Of course, this was just a polite remark, and Wu Chu believed that the old fox could tell. Besides, the old fox was accompanied by members of the Qilin Clan, making it even less likely that he would stay here for long.

Qingqiu Chen chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "This humble Daoist would be happy to spend more time with you, fellow Daoist. Our last discussion was quite fruitful. However, I have now led some members of my clan, young and old, to join the Qilin Royal Clan, and I have many trivial matters to attend to, truly..."

"Once these trivial matters are settled, I will decide to allow Qingqiu to rest for a while!" After a pause, Feng Wu looked at Wu Chu and said, "Fellow Daoist should also be aware of the current situation in the Primordial World. The Dragon, Phoenix, and our Three Clans stand in a tripartite balance, each developing their own power. The Qingqiu Fox Clan and the Tianmu King of Tianmu Mountain have already joined our clan. I have come here today hoping that Fellow Daoist can also join our clan, so that we can all work together for a great cause. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Seeing that the other party was so direct, without even needing the old fox Qingqiu Chen to speak on his behalf, Wu Chu couldn't help but take another look at this middle-aged man, and then fell silent.

It's obvious that this middle-aged man has a somewhat assertive personality. Otherwise, he would have waited for Qingqiu Chen to speak before offering benefits, instead of being so direct as he is now.

The atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Fortunately, at this moment Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox Qingqiu Yu served up spirit wine and spirit fruit, which eased the atmosphere.

As Little Moon Spirit poured wine for Feng Wu and the Little Fox poured wine for her grandfather, Wu Chu smiled and said, "If I may ask, what is the ultimate goal of the Qilin Royal Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Wu was taken aback for a moment, and finally asked in return, "Is it not enough to rule over all the Beast Clan on this Primordial Land?"

Indeed, the Qilin Clan's slogan is to rule over Beast Clan of the Primordial Land, but that's just a slogan; they are still far from truly ruling Ten Thousand Clans.

And they are working hard towards this goal.

Upon hearing this somewhat domineering middle-aged Qilin Clan's response, Wu Chu smiled and said, "To be honest, I have little interest in this. My lifelong ambition is to live a carefree life here, tending flowers and tending the land. In my spare time, I'll wander around, appreciating the wonders of nature, or perhaps finding some food..."

"..."

Feng Wu was completely stunned by Wu Chu's unambitious words. He never expected that there would be such a powerful person who only wanted to waste time and had no desire to dominate the world.

In Feng Wu's eyes, anyone who could associate with Qingqiu Chen must have a strong cultivation level, and the aura of Merit on Wu Chu's body further confirmed his thoughts.

"Heaven has bestowed such talent upon you, fellow Daoist, yet you are unwilling to become famous Primordial World and be praised by Ten Thousand Clans? Don't you think that's a great waste?" Feng Wu said.

Of course, what Feng Wu was thinking was, given the other party's previous question and now his sudden statement that he only wanted to live a carefree life here, did he think their Qilin Clan's goals were too modest and beneath him? What ambitions did this guy actually have?

"This humble Daoist has truly no interest in becoming famous throughout the Primordial World," Wu Chu shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to persuade me further. My cultivation is lowly; one more person won't make a difference. Moreover, given my acquaintance with Qingqiu, if Fellow Qingqiu were to request something from me in the future..."

Wu Chu paused here, his implication already quite clear. Of course, his words, while forceful, also left room for maneuver, not making any absolute statements.

When encountering a powerful person, if you appear slightly weaker, you are likely to lose the initiative and be led by the nose, which is very disadvantageous in negotiations.

Although Wu Chu was extremely nervous, thanks to Yibao's concealment, the middle-aged Qilin Clan Feng Wu did not sense it. He only felt that this dignified and unyielding demeanor was the proper bearing of a strong person.

Feng Wu paused for a moment, then said, "Does fellow Daoist think that the goals set by our Qilin Clan are too modest? Fellow Daoist may speak freely. If you have a valid point, I will certainly report to our clan's ancestor and grant you the rewards you deserve— Spirit Treasure, Spirit Root, status, and everything else you could desire."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu was overjoyed.

Sure enough, my words worked.
