Listening to Elder Qingxuan, who ntioned that the ferocity of the Qilin essence is overpowering, Su Que isn’t worried.
Currently, both his physical body and spirit are exceptionally formidable.
Even if the Qilin essence is fierce, it is unlikely to harm him.
However, he does not know where to find this Qilin essence.
"Daoist, do you know where I might find the Qilin essence?" Su Que asked Elder Qingxuan.
The old Daoist stroked his beard, looking diagonally upward, thinking while answering, "Nowadays, only noble families and major sects can possibly keep such ancient exotic beasts like the Qilin."
"But I’m not sure precisely which noble family, as I seldom venture into the Central Plains and cannot know for certain."
"Sir, why not let us send the Heaven-Breaking Army to the Central Plains to scout for information for you."
Upon hearing this, Su Que nodded and, after bidding farewell to Elder Qingxuan, headed towards the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion.
Upon arriving, he t Li Xuanji, whom he hadn’t seen in quite a while.
Li Xuanji’s face is still handso, but he seems to have aged a few years.
There are a few strands of white hair on his head, adding to the sense of age.
The reason Li Xuanji appears a bit weathered.
One is that he is now the dominant overlord of the Southern Domain, requiring him to manage the three provinces of the domain well and think about how to train soldiers and how to attack the Central Plains.
Secondly, during this ti, he feels his cultivation speed has reached a bottleneck. Impulsive, he cannot help but continue practicing the "Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill."
The power of the Divine Skill accumulates within his body, damaging it, making him appear several years older.
Thirdly, he hasn’t seen his teacher, Fan Gushan, for a long ti, causing him concern.
Fan Gushan would periodically give him guidance on how to govern dominions, conquer lands, and cultivate.
Fan Gushan is extrely important to him, and now that he hasn’t seen Fan Gushan for a long ti, he naturally feels anxious.
When Su Que arrived, Li Xuanji imdiately ca out to greet him, first exchanging greetings with clasped fists before asking:
"Sir, do you know the whereabouts of my teacher?"
After Fan Gushan departed for a period, Li Xuanji sent people to investigate Fan Gushan’s whereabouts.
Soon, he heard from the soldiers that Fan Gushan had once traveled with a mysterious expert wearing a Rakshasa Mask.
A few soldiers in the mansion had prepared horses for these two.
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanji also recalled that during that ti, it was when Fan Gushan taught the mysterious expert the thod to forceful power.
Seeing Su Que at this mont, Li Xuanji asked.
Su Que shook his head, "I don’t know."
Li Xuanji continued asking, "Do you know where he might have gone after parting with you that day?"
The details regarding Fan Gushan and Su Que are extrely complex, containing vast amounts of information.
Li Xuanji would never imagine that in order to suppress the demon nature and demon blood within, Fan Gushan intended to transfer Su Que’s blood.
Nor would he imagine that Su Que could reverse the side effects, so when they perford the cultivation technique together, Fan Gushan’s blood was completely absorbed and rged by Su Que.
Thus, Li Xuanji couldn’t possibly think that his teacher had already died at the hands of Su Que.
His inquiries with Su Que now are solely to learn more about his teacher.
"Didn’t say."
Two words ca coldly from Su Que’s mask.
Such was Su Que’s usual speaking manner, and Li Xuanji did not suspect as he continued to ask:
"Where was it that you and my teacher parted ways?"
Su Que then provided an address in the Central Plains.
Li Xuanji rembered it, planning to send people to scout that location once his conversation with Su Que was over.
"May I know the purpose of your visit today, sir?" Li Xuanji asked Su Que.
"I hope you will send people to help investigate which noble family or sect is raising the Qilin." Su Que said casually.
Hearing this, Li Xuanji’s heart shook.
Listening to this mysterious expert, it appears this person is coveting the Qilin of noble families and major sects.
Although he had heard from Elder Qingxuan beforehand that Su Que was consuming more and more elixirs, thus greatly increasing his power.
Yet he didn’t expect this person would dare to set his sights on noble families and major sects.
Currently, for him, noble families and major sects remain as mountains, immovable.
’If this mysterious expert conflicts with noble families, weakening their power, it would be advantageous for to reclaim the Central Plains!’
With this, Li Xuanji’s mood beca excited.
He hastily called over so people and instructed a few clever scouts with good lightweight skills to gather intelligence in the Central Plains.
"If there is news, I’ll send soone to leave a signal at the city gate for you." Li Xuanji said.
Su Que nodded and left the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion.
The ti went swiftly, unwittingly, another ten days passed.
Su Que, every day at the city gate, could not help but look up at the city wall to see if there was a signal left by the Heaven-Breaking Army.
But these ten days have passed, and he still hasn’t seen any signal on the city wall.
Still, he’s not anxious.
After all, he can still sustain dicinal power by consuming large quantities of elixirs now.
Su Que ate the at porridge prepared by Su Jing at ho, then went to an outdoor food stall, ate two large bowls of beef noodle soup, then headed to the hidden treasure cave outside Jiannan Prefecture City.
Upon reaching the cave, he first retrieved a gourd from a pile of odds and ends and poured all the elixirs inside into his mouth.
Then, he took out another gourd, pulled out the stopper, and poured the contents into his mouth.
With two gourds of elixirs in his belly, a wave of heat instantly surged up in his abdon, spreading towards his limbs and bones.
Taking advantage of the dicinal power’s strength, Su Que quickly sat down cross-legged to cultivate the Sunflower Manual.
