Chapter 5, The Senior Brother's Gift

This lesson is called: Never easily trust what others say, otherwise you will end up like you are now, falling into the trap set by others

Yu Yuan chuckled and said, "What’s wrong, are you angry? It seems that the gift I prepared for our meeting did not meet your expectations. Come, join me and let’s have a chat."

Qilin

Wen Zhong was startled and hurriedly got up to leave his small thatched cottage

It turns out that even what one sees and hears may not necessarily be the truth

This is ... ... Qilin ? ! ''

Although he has not officially begun his training, since he has already taken a master, he must hold himself to the strict standards of a practitioner

Upon reaching this thought, he could not help but feel a sense of fear in his heart

For those on the path of cultivation, daily morning and evening lessons are indispensable

Wen Zhong quickly gathered his thoughts, forcing himself to think of some chaotic matters

Early morning

Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank of the river; do not underestimate the youth in poverty

Wen Zhong's curiosity was piqued. After a brief hesitation, he still spoke up to inquire, "What are you looking at, Senior Brother?"

Upon seeing the senior brother once again enveloped in clouds of smoke, and noticing that he had no intention of asking any further questions, Wen Zhong performed a respectful bow, intending to take his leave and return to his humble abode. However, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the flower garden in front of the Tianyuan Palace.

Despite feeling some fear and dissatisfaction towards this senior brother, upon hearing the question, Wen Zhong replied without hesitation: "Of course it is to achieve immortality and roam freely in the world"

I will definitely study diligently and practice hard, achieving success as soon as possible, so that this senior brother who has been teasing me will know what it means to ... ...

Well

At that moment, the qilin suddenly turned its head and gently called out to Yu Yuan twice, with a hint of pleading in its voice

No, no, no!

The Satiety Pill indeed provides a feeling of fullness, but it is unclear which celestial herbs were used in its formulation, as it has a sour and astringent taste reminiscent of green grass.

Wen Zhong felt a glimmer of understanding arise within his heart

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Zhong clearly saw the black Qilin tremble slightly, and then it hurriedly approached him.

Disciple, you have just become an apprentice, and as your senior, I should present you with a token of our first meeting. However, after thinking it over for an entire night, I believe that gifting you some spiritual treasures or weapons would be too conventional. Instead, it would be more appropriate to impart a lesson that you can benefit from for a lifetime

I will definitely become an immortal

Yu Yuan did not say much either; he simply reached into the air, pulled out a cigarette and a book, and lit them.

At this moment, he only wishes to return to his quiet meditation, patiently awaiting his master to come and impart the teachings of the Supreme Clarity Path a hundred days later

Due to the considerable distance and the fact that Yu Yuan was in the flowerbed, Wen Zhong could not see what was in front of him

Wen Zhong did not rush forward; instead, he respectfully performed a bow and said loudly, "Wen Zhong pays his respects to his senior brother."

Wen Zhong, perplexed, looked at him with suspicion

Yu Yuan laughed heartily as he proclaimed this bold statement, causing Wen Zhong's face to instantly turn crimson.

In his dream, he had already attained immortality, riding a dark jade qilin back to his home in Chaoge. He distributed an elixir of immortality to each family member, allowing them to also become immortal. The family resided in a luxurious and grand celestial palace, enjoying dragon liver and phoenix marrow

With his intelligence, he naturally understood the meaning of this sentence and also realized that his thoughts had once again been perceived by his senior brother

Opening my eyes, I found myself in a bare and shabby room

Yu Yuan finally raised his head, glanced at Yu Yuan, and smiled: "I am looking at a qilin... Junior brother, have you ever seen a qilin? Would you like to come over and take a look?"

Wen Zhong turned his gaze towards the sound and happened to see a strange beast, about two feet long and over a foot high, leaping out from the flowerbed, approaching step by step towards him.

Wen Zhong quietly encouraged himself, directly sitting down in a cross-legged position, attempting to concentrate and calm his mind, feeling the flow of spiritual energy around him

After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and got up. As he raised his head, he happened to see his senior brother, Yu Yuan, squatting by the edge of the pit, looking at him with a face full of mocking smiles

At this moment, he suddenly heard Senior Brother Yu Yuan ask, "Now that you have arrived at the Sacred Realm of Penglai, you can be considered to have one foot on the path of cultivation. Let me ask you, what is your purpose in cultivating?"

Having just suffered that loss, Wen Zhong no longer dared to move about recklessly

So... this is the real meeting gift!

Strangely, as it was running, it suddenly took flight, directly traversing through the air

This senior brother is capable of doing anything; could this potentially be detrimental to himself

Wen Zhong immediately stepped forward

Wen Zhong was quite envious of his ability to retrieve objects from a distance. If it weren't for the recent "grudge of the trap," he would have certainly been unable to resist asking this senior brother to teach him.

This is not merely a qilin, but rather a relatively rare black qilin

Yu Yuan responded in a nonchalant manner, still keeping his head down, staring intently at something.

He looked around but did not see the scene of the mountains collapsing as he had imagined. Instead, hetushu.com allowed him to see a familiar figure—Senior Brother Yu Yuan.

At this moment, Senior Brother Yu Yuan was standing in a flowerbed in front of Tianyuan Palace, lowering his head, seemingly lost in thought about something.

As Wen Zhong looked closely, he discovered that with each step the small beast took, soil, stones, ice crystals, and flames would appear in succession beneath its claws, and when it lifted its paw, those soil, stones, and so forth would instantly vanish without a trace

It is said that the Ink Qilin was born of the Black Dragon and the Divine Bull, possessing a nature that is both brave and fierce, with an extremely ferocious temperament. Its innate abilities are formidable, and only true strong individuals can command its submission

The latter exhaled a smoke ring and said lightly, "You can either be his steed or my breakfast, you choose."

Wen Zhong reluctantly awakened from his beautiful dream

Senior brother possesses the ability to read minds

I can no longer think about it!

As he spoke, he pointed a finger towards the pit, and Wen Zhong felt the hard ground beneath his feet rapidly rising, soon leveling with the surface.

It is said that the spiritual energy during the transition of yin and yang is the most gentle and the easiest to refine throughout the day

Yu Yuan nodded slightly, "A simple and unpretentious goal is just fine; it is much better than striving to uphold the nation or protect the homeland..."

Beside it stands a jade bottle filled with the nourishing elixir.

So just now, the senior brother was not deceiving him about the library, but was actually looking at the Qilin

After walking several dozen steps, suddenly the ground beneath his feet gave way, and he fell rapidly under the influence of gravity, landing with a thud in a large pit approximately one zhang deep.

He tilted his head back, his three eyes fixed intently on Yu Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Then I would like to thank my senior brother for the meeting gift!"

Wen Zhong clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaving violently

At this moment, he deeply felt that the gift he received this morning was far more than just a mount.

This astonishing scene left Wen Zhong staring blankly, and it was not until the small beast approached him that he suddenly came to his senses

At this moment, he could see clearly that this extraordinary beast had the head of a lion, antlers of a deer, eyes of a tiger, and the body of a moose. Its entire body was covered in scales resembling black jade, with a tail that was hair-like like that of a dragon. The creature was robust like a moose, and beneath its four claws were soil, stones, ice crystals, flames, and whirlwinds.

At that moment, a loud bang suddenly echoed from outside, as if a mountain had collapsed

He fell hard, feeling dizzy, with stars dancing before his eyes, every part of his body aching, and his mind completely blank

However, despite the vast difference between reality and dreams, Wen Zhong remains full of confidence in the future

Well

So what was the situation with that pit before?
