An Apology to Settle the Matter

Who is he? Who exactly is he, and why does he possess such terrifying strength?

"Haha! My friend, you are truly a young hero! My name is Xuanjizi, and I am an elder of the Kunlun Sect. Today's matter was a misunderstanding, and I am willing to apologize to you. I wonder if you can forgive my rashness?" Xuanjizi said with a fawning smile.

"Get lost! Do you think I, Lü Dongbin, am the kind of petty person who likes to hold grudges? Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't bother with you. Let's call it a day. But let me tell you, if you dare to cause any more trouble, I'm capable of anything!" Lü Dongbin stared coldly at Xuanjizi and said in a cold voice.

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't bother you again. But could you tell me first which sect you belong to, and what kind of Law Treasure you just used, and why it was so powerful?" Xuanjizi asked with a fawning expression, his eyes filled with greed.

"I belong to no sect or school, and my name is Lü Dongbin!" Lü Dongbin said calmly, not intending to hide anything.

"Very well! Good name, I'll remember it. I will never cause you any trouble again. Please take back this sword, brother!" Upon hearing Lü Dongbin announce his name, Xuanjizi's expression faltered for a moment before he spoke.

He never expected to encounter such a powerful figure today, and one with such an incredible Law Treasure. How could he dare to anger him and bring trouble upon himself?

"Alright, since you've admitted your mistake, don't blame me for being impolite!" Upon hearing Xuanjizi's words, Lü Dongbin snorted coldly. Then, a powerful suction force emanated from his hand, and a long sword flew directly into his body.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful suction force emanated from his body.

Upon seeing this, Xuanjizi was greatly surprised and hurriedly activated the Immortal Essence Power within her body to resist the attraction, trying to break free from his grasp.

However, as soon as the Immortal Essence Power within his body began to circulate, he discovered that his body seemed to be out of control, being sucked into his body by this suction force and ultimately devoured by the long sword.

Then, Lü Dongbin leaped to the side of the long sword, grabbed the blade with one hand, and gripped the hilt with the other, then slammed it down.

"Whoosh!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the long sword was pulled out by Lü Dongbin, and there was no bright red blood flowing from Lü Dongbin's palm.

After drawing his longsword, Lü Dongbin had a thought, and the sword immediately transformed into a purple arc of electricity, dissipating and returning to its original form.

"This, this..."

Seeing this, Xuanjizi's face was full of shock. He really did not expect that the sword would turn into a ball of purple electric arc the moment it was drawn. This was simply unbelievable.

The sword was then returned to Lü Dongbin's hand, who coldly snorted, "So where exactly is the Qilin bloodline?"

Xuanjizi didn't dare to delay, but he looked troubled. "Great Immortal, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that even the people of our Mount Kunlun Range don't know where this Qilin bloodline is!"

They don't even know where their own people are?

However, Lü Dongbin did not pursue the matter of Xuanjizi much.

Together with He Xiangu, they headed towards the Lujuhe Continent, where they found a strange, enormous cave abode.

He Xiangu stopped at the entrance of the cave abode, frowning, and said to Lü Dongbin, "Could this be the hiding place of the Qilin bloodline?"

Lü Dongbin shook his head. "I don't know either, but this should be the location of the Qilin bloodline."

When Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu entered the cave abode, they found it to be a very spacious place filled with large stones.

The most eye-catching thing is that a person is lying on one of the large rocks.

The man was completely naked, his body covered in wounds, and his skin was charred black, making him look like a human furnace, with only a few red lines remaining on his chest and neck.

"Do you know him?" Lü Dongbin asked.

He Xiangu looked at the stove in front of her, then at Lü Dongbin, and said, "He looks somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place him. Let's try to revive him first."

"Hmm." Lü Dongbin nodded, then reached out and patted the stove.

The stove shook violently several times, but still did not go out.

Moreover, the flames in the furnace kept getting stronger and stronger.

"What's going on?" Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu exchanged a glance and frowned at the same time.

"It seems his physical body is dead; only this skeleton remains," said Lü Dongbin.

He Xiangu nodded, then took out a talisman from her bosom. The talisman was pure white and emitted a shimmering glow.

She formed a hand seal and cast Method Formula on the talisman.

The talisman transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the furnace. As it approached the furnace, it suddenly exploded, and a ball of white light merged into it, disappearing into the furnace.

The stove seemed somewhat afraid of this aura, and it trembled before finally going out.

He Xiangu walked to the stove and carefully examined the human-shaped stove.

Suddenly, He Xiangu exclaimed in surprise and covered her mouth.

"What's wrong, Junior Sister He?" Lü Dongbin asked.

"Senior Brother Lü, he's still alive!" He Xiangu exclaimed in surprise.

Lü Dongbin was taken aback, then walked over to He Xiangu's side and carefully examined the stove.

Sure enough, he detected a trace of life force, and he sensed that it belonged to a young man.

There was actually a human-shaped furnace inside this furnace!

Lü Dongbin felt a surge of excitement. What was this thing? Why could this furnace hold this human being?

"Quickly, quickly put this stove into your Heaven and Earth Bag!" Lü Dongbin urged hastily. Although he knew the person inside the stove was still alive, he was eager to take the stove out.

He Xiangu nodded, then used her Law Technique to put the stove away.

Lü Dongbin then relaxed and turned to He Xiangu, saying, "Junior Sister He, what's so magical about this furnace? I'd like to take a look."

He Xiangu nodded. "Senior Brother Lü, you must look carefully." After saying that, she reached out and pressed her hand into the void.

Immediately, several lines of text appeared on the surface of the stove.

"This is the transformation of a High Antiquity Qilin. It can burn all things, refine elixirs, aid cultivators in their practice, enable Demon Beast to advance in rank, elevate Devil Beast, and transform the Demon Race."

"Qilin?!" Lü Dongbin was shocked.

"Yes, Senior Brother Lü, I've heard our ancestor mention that the Qilin is said to be a great demon from High Antiquity times, capable of ruling and dominating the Primordial World land. It once fought alongside the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to conquer the world, but in the end, it was sealed away by them," said He Xiangu.
