The words of the Sanqing were filled with disbelief, and Xu Fang nodded dismissively.
"Good! The three Daoist friends have agreed, you can't go back on your word later!"
Kunlun Mountain was, after all, the Daoist sanctuary of the Sanqing. If there were treasures to appear here, they would naturally belong to the Sanqing.
Xu Fang did not want to fall out with the Sanqing over the matter of the Qilin Seal, so after some discussion, he made a wager with them.
The Sanqing were not people who couldn't afford to lose. With a wager in place, when the Qilin Seal reappeared in the world, they could only let it go and watch the treasure fall into their own hands.
The Sanqing all indicated that there was no problem, and then quietly watched Xu Fang, eager to see how Xu Fang would conjure treasures on the peak of Kunlun Mountain, at the Qilin Cliff.
Although the Golden-winged Great Peng and Ao Xue were full of confidence in Xu Fang, their hearts were also uneasy at this moment.
After all, the master of a Daoist sanctuary knew best what treasures it held. Xu Fang, on Penglai Immortal Island, could count every spiritual root.
The Sanqing adamantly claimed that Kunlun Mountain had no treasures, yet Senior Xu Fang insisted on his own way. Would this not be a disaster this time!
Sensing the worried gazes of the Golden-winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, Xu Fang looked back at them and said.
"Don't worry, your senior here isn't one to be trifled with. I've always been successful in finding treasures, how could I fail?"
As Xu Fang spoke, he glanced at the treasure map floating beside him, then took the little Qilin and began to change direction.
The Sanqing, the Golden-winged Great Peng, and Ao Xue followed closely.
Soon, Xu Fang led everyone to a spot on the Qilin Cliff. After cross-referencing with the treasure map, he pointed upwards.
"It's here, the supreme treasure of the Qilin clan, the Qilin Seal, is right here."
The Sanqing remained silent, thinking, "We'll just watch quietly and see how Xu Fang conjures the treasure."
However, the Golden-winged Great Peng and Ao Xue rushed forward upon hearing this.
"Senior, what should we do?"
"Senior, should we dig the ground and summon the Ruyi Jingu Bang to thrust it up to the sky, to poke it?"
The Golden-winged Great Peng and Ao Xue began to offer suggestions to Xu Fang.
Xu Fang looked up at Ao Xue, wondering if such words were appropriate from this little girl.
"Forget it, the Ruyi Jingu Bang is too powerful and too stiff. It would pierce through this Qilin Cliff directly."
Xu Fang shook his head. He was here to find treasure, not to cause destruction. He didn't want to accidentally damage the Qilin Cliff, leaving Yuanshi with nowhere to preach in the future.
"However, if I don't use a magical weapon, this will be a bit difficult."
Xu Fang looked at the treasure map beside him, appearing troubled.
The Qilin Seal was shown to be within the Qilin Cliff, but Xu Fang was unwilling to break open the cliff for it, which made things difficult.
He couldn't just shout a few words here to summon the Qilin Seal, could he?
It was within the Qilin Cliff, with no spiritual energy flowing, clearly in a sealed state.
This was why the Sanqing, standing on the Qilin Cliff, could not sense the existence of the Qilin Seal.
He guessed that when the primordial Qilin transformed into the Qilin Cliff, he had already foreseen this problem. Fearing that the Qilin Seal would fall into the hands of other creatures, he had sealed it completely.
However, the primordial Qilin had a strong sense of security and had good security measures. But it made things difficult for Xu Fang, who was helping the Qilin clan find treasures, leaving him at a loss.
The door was right in front of him, but he didn't have the key!
It was right before his eyes, yet he couldn't get in. It was agonizing!
Seeing Xu Fang's pensive and conflicted expression, the Golden-winged Great Peng felt it was his time to shine and quickly spoke.
"Senior, are you sure the Qilin Seal is really here?"
"Yes, absolutely certain."
"Then the problem now is how to retrieve the Qilin Seal without damaging the Qilin Cliff, right? This is perfect, I, the Golden-winged Great Peng, have a plan to help Senior!"
The Golden-winged Great Peng patted his chest with confidence, looking self-assured. Ao Xue gave him a look of disdain, wondering what good plans this "Phoenix Chick" could have.
Xu Fang's heart stirred, and he quickly asked.
"Bird-head strategist, what is your plan?"
When the Golden-winged Great Peng heard Xu Fang inquire, he felt an unprecedented sense of importance and became a little conceited.
"Senior, you are laughing at the Sanqing for not recognizing treasure right before their eyes, and yet you are the same. Alas!"
The Golden-winged Great Peng looked genuinely distressed. Xu Fang felt like hitting him and frowned slightly. Ao Xue, who had been anticipating this, leaped forward and began to beat him.
"You're supposed to offer advice, not put on airs! You deserve a beating! Spit it out quickly, so I can mock you properly!"
After being beaten, the Golden-winged Great Peng's imposing manner instantly deflated.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, won't I? Don't hit my face, or you'll be the one losing face outside!"
Seeing Ao Xue still persistent, the Golden-winged Great Peng, desperate for survival, quickly pointed to the little Qilin and said.
"Senior, the key to breaking this situation is this little Qilin who stirs up trouble. I'm talking to you, why are you happy that your bird brother is getting beaten? No smiling!"
"Senior, I have heard that in the Primordial Era, there is a saying of bloodline inheritance. This Qilin Cliff was transformed from the primordial Qilin, and the little Qilin is a member of the Qilin clan. With his blood, perhaps this Qilin Cliff can be broken and the Qilin Seal obtained!"
The Golden-winged Great Peng spoke his idea while enduring the beating.
Upon hearing this, Ao Xue stopped, but she was laughing so hard that she had to stop.
"What kind of method is this? Bloodline inheritance! Even if you're right, this Qilin Cliff is so huge. Do you want the little Qilin to bleed to death?"
Hearing this, the hope in the little Qilin's eyes faded, and his body trembled.
"Big bird brother, I didn't make a move. I've been observing. You can't harm me like this!"
Although the little Qilin was eager to find the Qilin Seal, he looked at the enormous Qilin Cliff. He didn't know where the Senior said the Qilin Seal was.
What if, in the end, the Qilin Seal wasn't found, and he collapsed on the Qilin Cliff, accompanying the patriarch of the Qilin clan, the primordial Qilin.
"Bloodline inheritance?"
Xu Fang muttered, his gaze falling on the Sanqing who were watching the show, preparing to seek outside help.
Sensing Xu Fang's inquiring gaze, the Sanqing were about to answer when a scream suddenly echoed across the peak of Kunlun Mountain.
"Dapeng, what are you doing!"
Xu Fang was furious, but it was the Golden-winged Great Peng who, holding the painted halberd, had just made a deep gash on the little Qilin's hand. Blood flowed profusely, a horrific sight.
"Hesitation leads to disaster. Without enduring the biting cold, how can one obtain the fragrant Qilin Seal?"
The Golden-winged Great Peng said this and then pressed the little Qilin's bloody hand onto the Qilin Cliff.
"I really thank you! This is personal revenge, you venomous bird!"
The little Qilin cried out in pain, cursing, wanting to pull his hand back, but his cultivation was inferior to the Golden-winged Great Peng's, and he couldn't resist at all. He quickly cast a pleading look at Xu Fang.
"Senior, quickly control him! I feel like my time is running out!"
"You can't murder your teammate, Dapeng! If you have the guts, go find Ao Xue. Wait a minute!"
Xu Fang reprimanded the Golden-winged Great Peng, wanting him to stop. However, as he spoke, he suddenly exclaimed.
Because at this moment, as the little Qilin's blood touched the Qilin Cliff, the entire Qilin Cliff began to shake, trembling incessantly!
