The Effect of the Extra Character

"Next, I plan to make a trip to the Heavenly Qilin Empire."

Yun Yun was slightly surprised upon hearing this:

"The Heavenly Qilin Empire? What are you going there for?"

"When I was at the Jia Nan Academy, the vice Outer Academy mentioned that the Imperial Family of the Heavenly Qilin Empire worships a sacred beast, the Qilin."

Qin Yu paused, then continued to explain:

"I once practiced a cultivation technique related to the Qilin, so I want to see it for myself."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now while I still have some time."

As soon as Yun Yun finished speaking, she grabbed Qin Yu's hand.

Since Qin Yu said he wanted to visit the Heavenly Qilin Empire, he must have his reasons.

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Yun Yun had already dragged him away towards the Heavenly Qilin Empire.

However, Yun Yun did not have Qin Yu's ability to draw power from the earth to replenish herself, and after a period of high-speed flight, her speed gradually slowed down.

Qin Yu noticed the change in her aura, grabbed her wrist with his other hand, and pulled her closer to him.

"It's my turn."

Before Yun Yun could react, she felt a powerful force flowing from Qin Yu's palm.

Immediately afterwards, her and Qin Yu's positions were reversed, and she was now being pulled forward by Qin Yu.

After breaking through Queen Dou, Qin Yu's control over the energy of the surrounding world has reached a new level.

Even now, when flying high in the sky, he can still draw power continuously from the earth below.

Yun Yun was being carried forward by Qin Yu at breakneck speed, muttering something under her breath, her tone tinged with a hint of melancholy:

"... Suddenly I feel like I didn't need to come along."

Of course, Yun Yun's decision not to come along was based on objective considerations. If she had to make the choice again, she would still come with Qin Yu.

As long as Qin Yu doesn't dislike her.

Qin Yu didn't reply, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he tightened his grip on Yun Yun's hand.

After two days of continuous flight, the outline of Heavenly Qilin City, the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Qilin Empire, finally appeared on the horizon.

From a bird's-eye view, the Heavenly Qilin Empire's territory is much smaller than that of the Jia Ma Empire, but its cities are densely packed and its roads are crisscrossed, making it appear quite prosperous.

Heavenly Qilin City is located in the central-eastern part of the Heavenly Qilin Empire. From a distance, the city walls are tall, and the city gates are bustling with pedestrians and carriages, and everything seems to be normal.

Qin Yu slowed down and landed a few miles outside the city with Yun Yun in tow.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Yun Yun tidied her wind-blown hair and asked.

Qin Yu did not answer immediately. He stood on a high slope, his gaze slightly narrowed, looking in the direction of Heavenly Qilin City, his brows gradually furrowing.

This city looks...

It's too ordinary; it completely lacks the solemnity and grandeur that should be present when worshipping sacred beasts.

Logically speaking, if the Qilin, as an auspicious beast, were to be enshrined here by the Imperial Family, Heavenly Qilin City should not be in such an ordinary state.

Heavenly Qilin City appears to be no different from the Imperial Capital of the Thousand Mountains Empire.

This is the biggest abnormality.

"It's nothing, I just feel like something's off about this place."

Following Qin Yu's gaze, Yun Yun stood beside him, observing the distant city, and quickly understood Qin Yu's thoughts:

"It doesn't seem like there's Qilin present, does it?"

"That's right."

Qin Yu nodded, but the senses of the Treasure-Seeking Sacred Body wouldn't lie; there were indeed extraordinary things in this city.

The Innate Treasure-Seeking Body's senses are now clearly pointing in the direction of Heavenly Qilin City.

Could it be that the mythical creature worshipped by the Heavenly Qilin Empire's Imperial Family is not the orthodox auspicious Qilin?

What are you planning to do?

"What do you mean, what should we do?"

Qin Yu flexed his wrists, his tone calm:

"You'll know once you go to their palace."

Yun Yun was stunned for a moment, then recalled that not long ago at Gemer Volcano, Qin Yu had silently approached her from behind without her noticing.

She still remembers that scene vividly.

"That's true, you always have some skills that others don't know about."

Yun Yun withdrew her gaze and made a decision decisively.

"Then I'll wait for your message. If you're exposed, make a big commotion, and I'll come to your aid when I see you."

This was the only help Yun Yun could offer Qin Yu.

Instead of rushing into the city, the two found a secluded spot outside the city to rest for the night.

Yun Yun meditated to recover her Dou Qi, while Qin Yu leaned against a tree root and closed his eyes to rest.

The bonus effects for Extra Character will have a one-day cooldown before they can be activated again.

This Extra Character is great! We need to use this Extra Character!

Qin Yu now even suspects that the effect of the Extra Character's attribute might have been incorporated into the attribute itself.

Otherwise, why would an entry with this effect be only white?

But Qin Yu had no way of knowing the truth.

Because his system never responds to anything other than extracting terms.

The following evening, Qin Yu opened his eyes, confirmed that the cooldown period for the skill had ended, and with a thought, the effect of [Extra Character] returned to his entire body.

Yun Yun was sitting three steps away, meditating with her eyes closed. Noticing Qin Yu getting up, she looked up at him.

Then, her gaze simply slid over there, as if Qin Yu were just a roadside stone or a weed growing by the roadside.

She even stood up, looked around, and muttered to herself:

"Where did they go? They left already? Without even saying goodbye..."

Qin Yu stood no more than five meters away from her, just standing there casually, but Yun Yun's gaze skipped right over him.

This entry is truly outrageous in its effectiveness.

Qin Yu remained silent, continuing his journey down the mountain.

As I passed by Yun Yun, she was staring blankly in the direction of Heavenly Qilin City, muttering to herself.

But her gaze never strayed even an inch from Qin Yu's direction.

Qin Yu walked along the official road for about half an hour, and the city gate of Heavenly Qilin City came into view. The guards at the city gate were casually checking the pedestrians entering and leaving the city.

There were quite a few people queuing to enter the city, and Qin Yu naturally walked over and joined the queue.

When it was his turn, the guard looked up and glanced at him.

The gaze lingered on Qin Yu's face for less than half a second before turning to the person behind him.

"Next."

Qin Yu stepped into the city gate, and behind him came the routine shouts of the guards; no one noticed anything unusual.

The streets of Heavenly Qilin City are wide and clean, lined with shops on both sides, and bustling with pedestrians.

Qin Yu walked through the crowd, and occasionally someone would brush past him, but no one's gaze lingered on him for long.

He walked leisurely through the main street, heading towards the massive complex of buildings in the very center of the city.

Heavenly Qilin Palace.

The palace walls were about five zhang high, and guards patrolled back and forth nearby. Two rows of heavily armored imperial guards stood at the main gate, creating an imposing atmosphere.

But Qin Yu just swaggered towards the main gate, and not a single one of the two rows of guards reacted.

"Damn, that's amazing."
