Unexpected Gains

"Don't be ridiculous, I don't have anything on me."

Qin Yu was somewhat confused and reached out to push Zi Yan's head aside.

When Qin Yu turned his head, he found that Xiao Yi Xian was actually sniffing him.

"Zi Yan, look what you've done! You've corrupted Xiao Yi Xian!"

"Ah?"

Zi Yan was completely bewildered, feeling as if a huge black pot had suddenly been placed on her head.

What did I do?

How did you manage to corrupt Xiao Yi Xian?

"Qin Yu, this has nothing to do with Zi Yan. You really do have a unique scent about you, it's very pleasant and attractive."

Just then, Xiao Yi Xian spoke up to defend Zi Yan.

At first, Xiao Yi Xian didn't notice the strange smell because her mind was full of other things.

But when she saw Zi Yan being inexplicably drawn to something, she realized something was amiss.

"The smell on me..."

Seeing that the two of them weren't joking, Qin Yu closed his eyes and carefully examined his body.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Both the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Volcanic Rock Flame are normal, and the three attributes of metal, fire, and earth are in a balanced state.

The Qilin Bloodline is also...

Um?

Qilin Bloodline...

Qin Yu seemed to know the source of the strange phenomenon in his body.

I've become a walking hot commodity!

Seeing Qin Yu's look of sudden realization, Zi Yan immediately moved closer, tugged at his sleeve, and pressed him for an answer:

"What? Why do you smell like that? Tell me, tell me!"

Qin Yu looked into her bright, sparkling eyes, then glanced at the equally curious Xiao Yi Xian beside him, and sighed helplessly.

Since we're going to talk about it, let's make it clear from the start.

"It's a long story... Please sit down, it might take a long time."

He sat down on a rock, with Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian on either side, like two fledglings waiting to be fed, their eyes fixed on him intently.

As for the Blue Eagle, it has already flown away.

Anyway, nobody pays attention to it here.

Then Qin Yu began his story from Gemer Volcano, from Latad to the Volcanic Rock Flame, and then to how he used the power of the volcano to break through to the Dou Emperor through seclusion.

Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan listened with great interest until Qin Yu started talking about the Heavenly Qilin Empire.

When they heard that Qin Yu had infiltrated the palace and discovered the truth that the Qilin was already dead and dismembered, both of them involuntarily shuddered.

"They even dismembered the sacred beast that protected them; the Heavenly Qilin Empire deserves this fate."

Next, Qin Yu sneaked into the Blood Pool, negotiated with the remnant spirit of the Qilin, and agreed to retrieve the remains in exchange for the inheritance.

Before the story was finished, it had completely darkened.

Only a faint moonlight remained on the mountaintop, illuminating the silhouettes of the three people.

Qin Yu stood up and dusted off his backside:

"Let's go back to Wutan City. We can still have something hot to eat tonight."

Zi Yan grabbed his left arm:

"No! You haven't finished speaking yet!"

At the same time, Xiao Yi Xian grabbed his right arm:

"That's right, what happened after you agreed to the Qilin remnant soul's request? Assassinating the emperor is no small matter, especially not in the palace!"

Qin Yu was pulled from both sides by the two people and couldn't move, so he could only sit back down and finish telling the rest of the story.

They talked about these things for almost half an hour before Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian finally let him go, satisfied.

"A complete Qilin Inheritance... no wonder you have that aura."

After hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were filled with undisguised amazement.

Qin Yu smiled and was about to urge them to set off when Zi Yan suddenly fell silent.

She took two steps closer, her nose twitched slightly, and then she looked up at him with a rare seriousness in her eyes:

"Qin Yu, could you... give me a drop of your blood?"

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback.

In the past, he was the one who asked Zi Yan for blood to fuse with the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, but today it's the other way around.

Just one drop? Is one drop enough?

Zi Yan hesitated for a moment, then held up three more fingers:

"Then three drops it is."

Qin Yu didn't ask any questions. He directly pricked his fingertip, and three drops of dark golden blood seeped from the wound, gleaming faintly in the moonlight.

The moment the blood appeared, that peculiar, irresistible aura once again filled the air.

Zi Yan's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily as she stared intently at the three drops of blood suspended in mid-air, as if they were some exquisite delicacy.

Qin Yu flicked his finger, and three drops of blood floated toward Zi Yan, who opened her mouth and swallowed them in one gulp.

Almost as soon as the blood entered her throat, Zi Yan's body stiffened abruptly, and her eyes snapped shut.

Her aura quickly subsided, and she sat cross-legged, entering a deep meditative state within a few breaths.

Qin Yu looked at her and, confirming that she just needed time to process things, didn't disturb her. He then turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian.

From the moment he pricked his fingertip and dripped the Qilin Blood, Xiao Yi Xian had remained silent.

She sat on the rock, her gaze lowered, as if sensing something.

Qin Yu noticed that her hands clenched slightly, and her expression seemed a little off.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief:

"... After you released those few drops of blood, the Poison Dou Qi within me seemed to quiet down all at once."

"It's... that restless feeling that was constantly surging was instantly suppressed the moment your blood started dripping."

Qin Yu paused for a moment, then quickly racked his brains, recalling information related to the Qilin.

Auspicious beasts, suppressing all evil.

The original bloodline of the Qilin may inherently possess the ability to cure all poisons and dispel all evil in the world.

Although no one has experienced or recorded such a thing, Xiao Yi Xian's behavior at this moment undoubtedly provides the most direct evidence.

If what Xiao Yi Xian said is true, then Qin Yu might be able to use his own Qilin Blood to replace the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva...

The function of Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva is to neutralize the toxic power of the Woeful Poison Body, making it easier to drive it away and compress it with Heavenly Flames.

If it were replaced with Qilin Blood...

It might achieve the same, or even better, results.

Moreover, the most advantageous point is that he has a complete Qilin Bloodline in his body, and his blood can be extracted at any time, unlike the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva which requires a lot of effort to find.

Qin Yu's gaze fell on Xiao Yi Xian, and he slowly said:

"Let's try it sometime later. If things go smoothly, I can use my blood to help you solve the problem of the Woeful Poison Body."

Originally, I only planned to use two different kinds of Heavenly Flames to torture the Woeful Poison Body in turn, but unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

The Woeful Poison Body has now truly met its stern father.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Qin Yu, seemingly wanting to say something, but swallowed the words back.

Perhaps this is fate.

The new power Qin Yu gained during his trip can be used to help her solve the problem of the Woeful Poison Body.

Now that things have come to this, wouldn't it seem pretentious for her to say anything else?

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently.

"Um."
