There are a total of 9,999 steps on the road to immortality. Each level is one meter high, which means that this mountain is 10,000 meters high, exceeding the highest peak in the real world!
After seeing through the game played by those two people, Xue Chen continued to move forward. Nothing else happened along the way, and finally reached the thousandth step!
A very spacious platform suddenly appeared in front of me, like a square, nearly 10,000 square meters in size, paved with flat stone slabs. Although it looked empty, it gave people an inexplicable and soul-stirring atmosphere.
.
"This is exactly the thousandth floor. It's probably no coincidence. It seems likely that there is such a large platform on every thousand floors."
Seeing this large platform for the first time, Xue Chen stood on it and thought about it, what is the purpose of it and why is there such an extra place?
He walked around the platform and found that there were words engraved on some stone slabs, also expressing doubts as to whether this platform had any special purpose.
After walking around, he didn't find anything, so he didn't waste any more time and set foot on the thousand and first steps.
At this time, there was still a mist in front and back, and no other people could be seen, giving people the illusion that they were the only ones left in this world.
"There are people in front of us, many people!"
When he climbed to more than 1,500 floors, Xue Chen was frowning secretly. Why did he find nothing? He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. At the same time, he discovered that there were some figures appearing in front, as many as seven or eight people.
He hurriedly quickened his pace, and when he got closer to see clearly, his pupils couldn't help but condense: "That's..."
There were seven or eight people standing there, including several familiar people, including Ya Fei and Xu Ming from the Grand Imperial Court, Zhao Si from the Sun Moon Star Sect, Zhao Qingkui from the Yanhuang Department, a young Taoist priest and others.
Two people...
But it was not these people that attracted Xue Chen's attention, but the thing surrounded by these people. It was a beast, but it was something he had never seen before. The beast was quite a reminder.
An ox also has two horns, but it is not a cow, because a cow does not have a layer of purple-gold scales on its body, and it does not have such a frightening aura.
The beast casually lay down in the grass beside the stone steps. It seemed to be sleeping, making a thick whirring sound, and continuously spraying white air from its nostrils, which was very strange.
The eyes of the people around were attracted. No one even paid attention to Xue Chen's approach. They were all looking at the beast nervously.
"Ya Fei, are you sure this is a unicorn?" Xu Ming swallowed and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Si's eyes were burning: "I have seen a unicorn statue in an ancient book. It's imaginative. It's absolutely correct! How can there be a unicorn here? The unicorn actually exists. It's unbelievable!"
"This should be a Qilin, but it shouldn't be a purebred Qilin beast. It should have about 10% Qilin bloodline." Ya Fei's eyes flashed with strange colors.
She is familiar with various ancient books, has a grasp of all kinds of strange news, and has done some research on Qilin before making this judgment.
Several people around him were not calm. What appeared in front of them was really shocking. Qilin, even for practitioners, is almost a legendary beast. Even if it is a hybrid, it is still a Qilin.
"Qilin?" Xue Chen was inevitably startled and looked at it with wide eyes. It had to be said that it was indeed very similar to the legendary image of Qilin. "But, how could there be...Qilin?"
Obviously, a hybrid unicorn suddenly appeared here, which must mean good fortune. However, how to obtain this good fortune? Is it possible to find a rope to tie the unicorn's neck and lead it away?
No one had this idea in their mind, it was seeking death! Although this Qilin-like creature seemed to be sleeping and did not show any aggression, the changes in its breath between breaths and inhales were terrifying, making everyone present feel uncomfortable.
They felt frightened and had a feeling that this Qilin beast could wipe them all out with just one sneeze.
Zhao Qingkui, who was inside, was very anxious. This was a legendary Qilin beast. It was a perfect blessing from heaven. If he couldn't seize the opportunity and gain something, it would be unforgivable.
But what should we do? Zhao Qingkui thought to himself that the strength of this Qilin beast was terrifying, and it must be extremely intelligent. Maybe it would be better to be more direct.
Everyone present did not move rashly, thinking about what to do. Suddenly, a person took a few steps, got much closer to the Qilin beast, and then made a scene that surprised many people.
"Zhao Qingkui, I have met Ancestor Qilin!"
With a pop, Zhao Qingkui knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the Qilin Beast.
This also shocked everyone, including Xue Chen. What was going on? Why did he suddenly kneel down and kowtow to return the favor to the Qilin Ancestor?
Zhao Si even let out a sneer, clearly despising Zhao Qingkui's actions.
"This person..." Xu Ming was also a little confused.
Zhao Qingkui's face was very hot as he knelt down. After all, it was not very honorable to do so, but he thought that once he left here, all his memories would be erased, so he didn't care.
"Ask Qilin Ancestor for guidance on how to practice."
Although Zhao Qingkui has average cultivation and average qualifications, he understands that it is always right to be respectful to the strong. For example, he has always followed Luo Yong and allowed himself to be bossed around. Although he was despised by others, he has gained practical benefits. Now, he has been following Luo Yong.
It’s even more of a chance to come to this place of immortality!
What everyone didn't expect was that the suspected Qilin beast that had been sleeping with its eyes closed actually opened its eyes. First it glanced at everyone, and finally it stared at Zhao Qingkui.
Zhao Qingkui's face turned pale and he almost collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.
But no one made fun of Zhao Qingkui anymore, because the eyes of this unicorn beast were indeed too terrifying. When the pale golden eyes swept across, everyone had the illusion that their souls were taken away. If not, they would definitely not be lost in the land of immortality.
If he lost his life, he would have turned around and fled!
"Pooh."
Without any warning, what looked like a Qilin Beast suddenly spat out a ball of fist-sized mucus from its mouth, and it hung directly on Zhao Qingkui's face. This scene looked a bit disgusting.
Zhao Qingkui was also stunned, and subconsciously touched his face, but immediately shouted: "It smells so good!" Then, tremblingly, he took out a bottle and collected all the mucus on his face, without wasting any of it.
.
"Stay away from me, don't disturb my sleep." Everyone present felt a voice in their heads.
"Thank you, Patriarch Qilin!" Zhao Qingkui kowtowed three times again, and then stood up happily, almost grinning. After putting the bottle away, he glanced at everyone with pride,
Obviously showing off his "wisdom".
Yafei's eyes inevitably fluctuated, and she sighed softly: "According to ancient books, Qilin Saliva is an extremely precious treasure that is difficult to find in the world and has endless magical uses. I never thought that this person would get this blessing."
For a time, no one was laughing at Zhao Qingkui, everyone was envious.
"I can do it if you just kneel down and kowtow!" Xu Ming gritted his teeth and was about to kneel down and kowtow like Zhao Qingkui, hoping to gain something, but Ya Fei stopped him.
After such a delay, a person stepped forward first, followed Zhao Qingkui's example and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed eighteen times in one breath. Each one of them hit the stone slab of the steps with a bang, and he also spoke in the same way.
Pray for the gift of Qilin Beast.
But this time, the Qilin Beast didn't respond at all and fell into a deep sleep.
"It's late." Yafei shook her head slightly. Some things only have one chance and cannot be repeated again and again. Even though she felt a little disappointed, this is the saliva of the Qilin Beast. If she loses this opportunity, it may be difficult for her in this life.
Encountered again.
She also thought that it seemed that three hundred years ago, someone did bring a mysterious liquid from the Land of Immortals, but no one was sure what it was. They only knew that this liquid was extremely magical and could be used to refine elixirs.
The efficacy of the medicine is enhanced several times.
Obviously, that is Qilinmon's saliva, but even if you know it now, you will still forget it after you leave here.
Seeing that Zhao Qingkui had obtained good fortune, and there seemed to be no better way to continue to obtain good fortune from the Qilin Beast, some people sighed and planned to leave.
The same is true for Xue Chen. Even though he is unwilling to do so, since there is no chance, there is no need to continue to waste time. Since Qilin can appear here, there is no doubt that there will be more incredible existences waiting ahead.
"Senior, I don't know how I can get your blessing. Please give the juniors a chance." At the right moment, Ya Fei stood up with a soft voice and persistent eyes.
The Qilin Beast actually opened its eyes again, glanced at Ya Fei, and said directly: "Three thousand years ago, the master ascended to immortality and left, so he had to leave me here and sleep for a thousand years, unless I also have one day."
I can't leave until I reach the top of the mountain, but I don't know how long it will take."
"Little girl, you and I all want my saliva. It's okay. I haven't eaten for three thousand years. What can you offer to me?"
Hearing this unicorn beast speak one seat at a time, Xue Chen really felt like a dream.
Just after Qilin Beast finished speaking, not only the Shaoyang Sect but also a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain immediately stepped forward and offered a fruit in his hand: "Senior, please taste it."
But Qilin Beast just took one look at it and said with disgust: "There are so many fruits like this here, I've long been tired of them."
The young Taoist priest couldn't help but step back.
The others also looked embarrassed and entangled. No one came forward because they couldn't bring out anything. After all, they are all in the Danhua realm. They live fast all the year round, so they don't need water or rice, and no one will carry it with them.
