Compared to Qi Mo, I Am Still Inferior

The territory of the Ink Qilin Clan.

The Ink Qilin had now become the liveliest place in the entire Kirin Clan.

Countless clan leaders and elders from other Kirin Clan branches came to visit without end.

Everyone knew why they had come: to have pills refined.

Qi Hua turned no one away.

Before entering seclusion, Qi Mo had instructed him to accept any pill-refining request for pills above the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Once Master Qi emerges from seclusion, I must pay him a personal visit. Qi Hua, you can't keep such a peerless genius hidden away in your clan."

"Qi Hua, look at how lovely our Earth Kirin Clan's Qi Tu is. Her talent is pretty good too. How about finding time to match them up?"

"These are the materials for the pills I'd like Master Qi to refine. Tell Master Qi to refine them without hesitation. Even if not a single pill succeeds, I won't be angry."

Thinking of what those clan leaders had said, Qi Hua wore an immensely smug expression.

When had those old fellows ever treated him like this?

It was all thanks to Qi Mo. Now, every one of them was exceedingly polite whenever they saw him.

They were terrified of offending him.

Choosing Qi Mo back then really had been the right decision.

He had originally felt somewhat pained over getting rid of Qi Tong, but now? Forget feeling pained—he could wake up laughing even while cultivating.

"I wonder when Qi Mo will emerge from seclusion."

"I've nearly gathered enough materials here to refine several hundred thousand pills."

Yet Qi Hua still had a headache.

The Kirin Clan's population was simply too large.

Too many Kirin came to visit every day.

Eventually, he had no choice but to turn them away outright.

If this continued, he would not have any time left to cultivate as Clan Leader.

Just as Qi Hua was fretting, his divine sense suddenly stirred, and he vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already outside Qi Mo's cave abode.

"Qi Mo, you've finally emerged from seclusion."

Qi Hua spoke delightedly.

Though one hundred thousand years of seclusion was no more than the blink of an eye to him.

This time, however, he had truly found those hundred thousand years agonizingly long.

"Yes."

Qi Mo nodded.

"How was your comprehension of the Great Dao?"

Qi Hua asked with a smile.

"The Great Dao is profound and mysterious. I merely grasped a little of its surface."

Qi Mo did not wish to say more.

Who would foolishly reveal all their trump cards to others?

"Comprehending the Great Dao is a long-term endeavor. You cannot rush it."

"Oh, right. I went to see Primeval Qilin."

"I have two pieces of news for you."

Although Qi Hua was the Clan Leader, he was exceptionally courteous toward Qi Mo at this moment.

In some respects, Qi Mo's status within the Kirin Clan had already surpassed his.

Several clan leaders from the Kirin Clan's branches had even warned him.

If Master Qi suffered any grievance, they would take Master Qi away.

The pressure was enormous.

"Is it news about the Demon Race?"

After a brief moment of thought, Qi Mo more or less guessed what it was.

Given his current status, the Kirin Clan would definitely make a move against the Demon Race.

"Correct."

"Our Kirin Clan sent quite a few experts over to the Demon Race."

"After killing some Demon Race members, they retreated and holed up."

"Anyone who dares lay hands on our Kirin Clan members must pay the price."

Qi Hua sneered.

Qi Mo secretly shook his head.

It was not that the Demon Race was afraid. Luohou simply did not take them seriously at all.

This was a ruthless man who could even blow up the Western Ancestral Vein. Why would he fear the Kirin Clan?

His retreat was merely because he did not want to expose his scheme too early.

From beginning to end, they had only been his pawns.

But "Qi Mo" would not say any of this.

"What about the second matter?"

Qi Mo continued asking.

He had no karmic ties with the Demon Race and did not need to pay them much attention.

"The second matter is tremendously good news."

"I met Primeval Qilin."

"He will receive you at the Ancestral Land Palace at a certain time."

"And he will declare you the Kirin Son of our Kirin Clan."

Qi Hua said excitedly.

Either one was a supreme honor.

Other than clan leaders like them, not even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal had ever set foot in the Ancestral Land Palace.

Qi Mo would absolutely be the first.

As for becoming the Kirin Son, that was even more a symbol of status and authority.

To receive Primeval Qilin's attention and cultivate within the Ancestral Land Palace—his future achievements would be unimaginable.

This was an enormous opportunity!

"Qi Mo" forced a faint smile on the surface, but inwardly, he could only laugh bitterly.

Enormously good news?

For me, this is terrible news.

Why is it the same as with the Dragon Clan?

I only wanted to lie low and gather some resources.

But it's always heir, Kirin Son, and the like.

You people are putting me under a lot of pressure.

Looks like I need to prepare to run away with a bucket again.

If the Dragon Clan elders heard this, they would surely rush over from the Dragon Palace overnight.

Lie low?

Where exactly have you been lying low?

You kept attaining enlightenment when you entered the Dragon Tomb, even comprehending the power of laws.

The same had happened at Buzhou Mountain.

You repaired your origin, mastered pill refinement, were watched by Him, and comprehended the Great Dao.

Which one of those things was low-profile?

If you had done even one low-profile thing, neither the Dragon Clan nor the Kirin Clan would have regarded you as a peerless genius.

"Qi Mo" could only mock himself helplessly. I want to lie low too, but my strength won't allow it.

"Clan Leader, have all the materials for pill refinement been delivered?"

Qi Mo directly changed the subject.

"Qi Mo, being able to cultivate alongside Primeval Qilin is an enormous opportunity."

Qi Hua had yet to recover from his surprise.

Why did he seem so calm?

He even seemed a little uninterested.

"Opportunities also require strength to seize."

Qi Mo shook his head indifferently.

Qi Hua immediately thought even more highly of Qi Mo.

This kid was something else. Faced with such an opportunity, he could truly keep his composure.

This was the mindset a peerless genius ought to have.

Compared to him, I am still inferior to Qi Mo.

"They're all with me."

"This batch is quite substantial."

"And the quantity is still increasing."

Qi Hua directly took out the materials and spiritual plants.

They had already piled up into a small mountain.

"Good."

"I'll begin refining pills immediately."

"The pills I refine will be sent out as they are completed."

"In the future, anyone needing pills refined can simply leave the materials outside my cave abode."

After saying that, Qi Mo put away the materials and returned to his cave abode.

After returning to the cave abode, Qi Mo did not immediately begin refining pills.

Instead, he began sorting through the spiritual materials and Spiritual Roots.

This time, there were an enormous number of spiritual materials.

Most were for pills needed by those in the Golden Immortal Realm.

There were also some materials for Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level pills.

Naturally, Lin Changsheng had slipped in some of his own goods among them.

He had also mixed in some commonly used spiritual materials for the Six-revolution Golden Elixir.

"As expected of the Kirin Clan that occupies Buzhou Mountain."

"It's far faster than gathering spiritual materials on my own."

Lin Changsheng happily planted all the spiritual materials and Spiritual Roots he did not need into the Hundred Herbs Diagram.

The mountain-like pile of spiritual materials was reduced by at least half!

Even capitalists would shed tears after seeing Lin Changsheng's methods.

His earlier claim that the pill success rate was below thirty percent had naturally been false. His purpose was, of course, to withhold more spiritual materials.

Besides, refining pills for others had to come with a bit of labor cost.

There were only a few people in the Primordial Wilderness capable of refining pills now. A higher labor fee was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it?

Thus, Lin Changsheng felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

He took in hundreds of thousands of types of spiritual materials at once.

They were all placed directly into the Hundred Herbs Diagram.

Just as he finished, the Hundred Herbs Diagram seemed to rumble.

Was it about to advance?
