Lin Li's decision

Lin Li almost choked, as if he couldn't catch his breath.

He took a few deep breaths before calming down.

This is an Immortal Artifact!

And it's not just any Immortal Artifact; it's an Immortal Artifact personally refined by a strong Immortal Lord like me.

Its quality is much higher than ordinary True Immortal Immortal Artifacts; even if it hasn't reached the level of a Grand Immortal Artifact, it's definitely a top-tier Immortal Artifact.

Moreover, it's tailored to the Qilin Clan's Physique, making it an invaluable treasure for a Qilin.

It's more precious than your entire Immortal Palace, and as an Immortal Lord, I was just being modest; why did you agree with me?

Little did he know, for Qilin Xiao Hei, Immortal Artifacts weren't really a big deal.

After all, being with Zhong Qing, he saw Immortal Artifacts every three to five days, and he even had one himself, so he had long become numb to them.

However, since it was given to him proactively, there was no reason not to accept it.

Lin Li warned himself in his heart that this was just a child who didn't know any better and not to take it seriously.

He forced a smile and said, "Alright, next, come with me to the Xuan Lin Immortal Palace."

"After some time, I will gather all the True Immortals and important figures of our Qilin Clan to officially hold your Saint anointing ceremony."

Then... Qilin Xiao Hei shook his head without thinking: "No."

Lin Li was about to turn around when he heard this and stumbled, almost falling.

What was that? You're not going, but you're quite quick to accept things.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, maintaining his smile, and said, "What's wrong? Do you have any other concerns?"

Xiao Hei still shook his head decisively: "No."

Lin Li's mouth twitched: "This... could it be that you still can't bear to leave your master Zhong Qing?"

He paused and said, "I don't have any prejudice against the Human Race; since you've already acknowledged a master, that's your freedom."

"Although I haven't seen that Zhong Qing with my own eyes, I personally investigated his deeds before coming, and they are indeed extraordinary. If I'm not mistaken, he is very likely a newly born Immortal Seed of the Human Race."

"Even if not, he is definitely a top-tier Prodigy."

"It's barely fitting for your status."

"If you want to help him, you can come back to the Qilin Clan with me. When you advance to True Immortal in the future, you can directly represent our Qilin Clan to support him, and I won't say anything."

"After all, I also had some dealings with some Seniors of the Human Race back then."

"But you are a Qilin after all. Cultivating here is ultimately not as good as being with your own kind, letting your own kind teach you. This is also for your Cultivation future."

But he babbled on for a long time, and Qilin Xiao Hei seemed not to have heard a single word.

Shaking his head: "No, no, that's enough. Do you have anything else? If not, I'm going to fight that scoundrel Chicken One."

"Come find me to play next time you're free."

"Since you are of the same clan as Xiao Hei, I'm sure master won't object to you coming here."

Chicken One, who was nearby, finally came to his senses and immediately became furious: "You want to fight, right? Come on, who's afraid of whom!"

Then, one chicken and one Qilin directly left Lin Li behind and started fighting fiercely.

Only Lin Li was left in a state of confusion.

No, what's wrong with this little Qilin? Has that Human Race raised him to have some problems? Can he not understand Qilin language?

Lin Li's eyes flickered, and he began to ponder whether to directly take action and bring Xiao Hei back.

With his strength, let alone within the Immortal Palace of this New True Immortal, even if Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan herself were to act, she might not be able to stop him.

But when his gaze inadvertently fell upon the Scarecrow nearby, he was suddenly startled.

The Scarecrow had clearly been standing there all along, but from then until now, Lin Li had directly ignored his presence while talking to Xiao Hei.

This wasn't because Lin Li looked down on him; in fact, as a strong Immortal Lord, even if he didn't pay special attention to someone, the actions of an ant within this entire Immortal Palace could not escape his perception.

But this Scarecrow, so close, was inexplicably ignored by him.

To be able to do this was certainly extraordinary.

Moreover, at this moment, even when Lin Li noticed the Scarecrow's existence, under deliberate perception, this person still appeared elusive and unpredictable.

To be able to do this indicated that the other party's strength was definitely above the True Immortal Rank, and even much stronger than an ordinary True Immortal.

Lin Li's gaze became serious.

He also noticed that Chicken One's true form seemed to be just an ordinary chicken, yet he could fight Qilin Xiao Hei, who possessed the Saint Bloodline, to a standstill, and it wasn't just Chicken One; there were also a bunch of chickens and ducks nearby, whose Qi weren't much weaker.

Previously, his attention was only on Xiao Hei, but now he realized that this Immortal Palace was full of strangeness everywhere.

"That Zhong Qing is indeed extraordinary."

Lin Li thought to himself.

After receiving the news from Fire Kirin Lin Chi, he immediately investigated Zhong Qing's background.

As an Immortal Lord, they all possessed powerful intelligence capabilities.

It was fine if he didn't notice Zhong Qing, but once he did, it wasn't difficult to investigate some things clearly.

This New True Immortal had Yu Weichen, an old Heaven Protector of the Human Race, personally descend to the Lower Realm to greet him, slapped Lin Chi down with one palm on the way, and was completely unharmed after a conflict with Celestial Race Wei Yitian in front of the Immortal Gate.

He even had the aura of a Great Emperor on him.

Combining all these, Lin Li deduced that Zhong Qing was very likely an Immortal Seed of the Human Race.

If he was an Immortal Seed, there was no reason for him to have been untraceable before; perhaps he was a seed secretly cultivated by the Human Race.

If so, the other party would certainly have many backup plans to protect the Immortal Seed from any mishaps.

As one of the Immortal Lords, Lin Li knew that although the Human Race seemed to be in decline now, as the strongest existence among all races in the past, they still had countless hidden foundations and trump cards that should never be underestimated.

After pondering, Lin Li suddenly made a move and landed in front of Xiao Hei.

But the Scarecrow on the side only glanced at him and did not move.

Lin Li, however, intervened to separate Xiao Hei and Chicken One, who were fighting.

Xiao Hei complained, "Why are you stopping me? Get out of the way! Today, Xiao Hei will make this stinky chicken know who is Big Brother's number one little brother!"

Lin Li's mouth twitched, and he said, "Xiao Hei, since you are unwilling to return to the Qilin Clan with me, I won't force you."

"But you are a Qilin after all, and it's better to be taught by a Qilin."

"You can still be the Saint of my Qilin Clan, and if you want to live here, that's fine too."

"But from now on, may I often come here to teach you some things?"

Xiao Hei blinked: "Teach me things? What things?"

Lin Li's eyes darted, he looked at Chicken One behind him, and smiled slightly: "Things that can help you defeat them."

Xiao Hei's eyes lit up then: "Why didn't you say so earlier! What's the problem then? I just need to tell master, right? Oh... by the way, where's master?"

Meanwhile, in the Tian Yuan Immortal Region, inside Wei Yitian's Immortal Palace.

From behind the main door, Wei Yitian's muffled voice came.

"Who is it?"
