175: Chapter 175 Auspicious Beast, Jade Kirin!

Gu Yan saw that Feng Jiuge had successfully escaped and even awakened a trace of the power of the star god of mars, so he stopped paying attention.

This kid is probably the type who just won't die.

It seems that in this lifetime, he will inevitably be able to return to the position of the star god of mars.

Gu Yan withdrew his gaze, calculating his next arrangements in his mind.

He was only at the third level of the Golden Immortal Realm now; he needed to quickly Cultivate to the Immortal King or even the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Just as he was planning to continue his secluded cultivation.

[Effect of trait "immortal lord fuzhe - red" triggered. You have obtained the top-grade Immortal Spirit Treasure "taixu guiyuan prayer mat".]

[taixu guiyuan prayer mat: Woven from threads of Void Essence from above the Nine Heavens. Cultivating while sitting upon it can make the mind clear and unify all thoughts.

Cultivation speed is greatly increased, and the success rate when breaking through Bottlenecks is also significantly enhanced.]

Gu Yan looked at the futon that appeared out of thin air in his hand, feeling a bit of unexpected joy.

This trait hadn't given much of anything above the level of an Immortal Magical Artifact in recent years; it was quite generous today.

Although this top-grade Immortal Spirit Treasure was not as precious as an Innate Spirit Treasure, it was still considered top-tier among Immortal Spirit Treasures.

Gu Yan placed the futon down and sat cross-legged upon it.

As soon as he sat down, he felt a cool sensation rising from below, piercing straight through to his Spiritual Terrace.

His mind indeed became much clearer.

Gu Yan nodded slightly and closed his eyes to enter meditation.

Cultivation knows no time.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already the same day and month of the following year.

[Effect of trait "immortal lord fuzhe - red" triggered. You have obtained an Auspicious Beast mount, the Ink Jade Qilin.]

[ Black Jade Qilin： It is an unusual species among the Qilin clan in the world.， The whole body is as black as ink， Scales shine.

This beast was originally transformed from a wisp of auspicious Qi in the Immortal Realm. It took ten thousand years of nurturing to take shape, and it possessed the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal upon birth.

It is naturally spiritual and can seek Luck while avoiding calamity. Wherever it resides, auspiciousness arises naturally, and Luck gathers.

It also possesses the innate Divine Ability Ten Thousand Miles of Auspicious Clouds, which can carry a person a thousand miles in an instant without a speck of dust.]

With a thought from Gu Yan, a mass of inky brilliance appeared out of thin air in the hall, slowly solidifying.

As the brilliance dissipated, a pitch-black Qilin stood in the hall.

It was about the size of a calf, covered in inky scales, its four hooves stepping on faint auspicious clouds and Qi, its golden eyes looking around blankly.

This was the first time it had opened its eyes to see the world since gaining consciousness; before this, it was just an unformed mass of auspicious Qi, muddled and without intellect or awareness.

Having suddenly taken form and been sent directly here by the power of the "immortal lord fuzhe - red" trait, its mind was naturally a blank.

But it instinctively sensed that the young man sitting cross-legged before it was its destined master.

The Ink Jade Qilin lowered its head, slightly bent its front hooves, and prostrated itself in salute to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan reached out and stroked its head; the touch was cool and gentle, and the scales were as smooth as a mirror.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The "immortal lord fuzhe - red" was definitely the best among his current collection of red traits.

Most of his assets—from Cultivation Techniques to Spirit Treasures, from Medicinal Pills to mounts—were given by this trait.

Red traits like "foundation of the great dao: red" and "Form of No-Self and No-Form · Red," while equally powerful in effect, were both auxiliary in nature.

In terms of comprehensiveness, they were far inferior to the all-encompassing nature of the "immortal lord fuzhe - red."

Giving whatever was lacking—that was what true blessing meant.

"Go play outside on your own," Gu Yan said, patting the Qilin's head.

"But remember, do not harm anyone."

"Every blade of grass and every tree in this Grotto-Heaven, as long as it has an owner, must not be touched."

"If you cause any trouble..."

"...I'll eat Qilin meat."

The Ink Jade Qilin trembled all over, nodding repeatedly, then turned and ran outside, its four hooves generating wind as it disappeared beyond the hall doors in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yan smiled, withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes again, and continued his cultivation.

The Ink Jade Qilin left the Palace of Longevity and strolled leisurely among the various palaces of the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven.

It felt that everything in this world was novel.

It was like a blank sheet of paper, having no prejudices or knowledge of the myriad things in heaven and earth.

Everything it saw was fresh, and it was curious about everything.

In this way, day after day, year after year passed.

There was no winter or summer in the Grotto-Heaven; flowers bloomed throughout the four seasons, and the years went unnoticed.

Spring went and autumn came; flowers bloomed and withered.

In the blink of an eye, another nineteen years had passed.

Inside the Hall of Longevity, Gu Yan's cultivation had progressed further, reaching the fourth level of the Golden Immortal Realm.
