Chapter 1467: You Teacher is Here

"Ah?"

Zhang Jiang’s body stiffened.

Zhang Wuchen and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

What was wrong with this guy? Just a moment ago, he was shouting that the Qilin bloodline must not be insulted, wishing he could crush this person to death. How did he end up prostrate on the ground, so undignified, in the blink of an eye?

Zhang Xuan was also a bit stunned. He scratched his head, confirmed that this was indeed the same beast from before, and then looked over. "Are you sure you want to acknowledge me as your master?"

"Yes, Master! Whatever you command, if you say east, I will never go west!"

The Flame Qilin Beast nodded eagerly, seemingly afraid that the person before him would change his mind.

"Alright!"

As soon as Zhang Xuan agreed, a drop of blood containing a soul flew over, landed on his glabella, and gently vibrated before entering.

Accepting the beast's acknowledgment, Zhang Xuan instantly understood the large creature's thoughts.

Under normal circumstances, the beast would indeed be unwilling to submit. However, seeing Zhang Xuan rush into the lightning tribulation and scare it away, the beast changed its mind.

Spirit beasts, whose nascent souls are not as strong as humans', fear lightning the most. Since Zhang Xuan could easily dispel it and ensure an unobstructed breakthrough, becoming his pet wasn't so bad...

Moreover, since he easily helped the Azure Dragon Beast break through, helping the Qilin break through would certainly not be difficult either!

"I don't believe it..."

Seeing the Qilin Beast successfully acknowledge Zhang Xuan as its master, Zhang Jiang swayed, his face turning ashen, and he dropped a significant distance from the air.

This was a spirit beast that even the family head couldn't tame, yet it was easily subdued by the other party in less than twenty minutes...

Didn't it want to kill him and tear him to shreds just moments ago? How could its attitude change so quickly?

"Do you know that by changing your attitude like this, I've not only lost my bet completely, but the patriarch will surely be furious when he returns!"

This was a huge creature he had spent countless resources to capture, only to hand it over just like that...

His face flushed, he choked, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"You are a Qilin Beast, possessing the Qilin bloodline..."

He gnashed his teeth in exasperation.

"What if I am a Qilin Beast? Teacher Zhang is a young genius, humble and reserved. I willingly submit..."

After acknowledging Zhang Xuan as its master, the Flame Qilin Beast looked over with a proud expression.

"You..."

Zhang Jiang swayed again.

"Where's your dignity? Where's your pride?

"Before, when it was suggested you submit, you caused an uproar, wishing you could die on the spot. Now, look at you... You haven't had your soul replaced by the other party, have you?"

"Since you acknowledge me as your master, as your master, a welcoming gift is certainly in order..."

Ignoring Zhang Jiang, who was on the verge of spitting blood from frustration on the side, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and snapped his fingers.

The Qilin Beast's face was full of anticipation, wondering what gift its master would give. Immediately after, it felt a surge of heat emanating from within its dantian. Its previously restricted and blocked blood vessels instantly opened under the impact of a surge of true qi.

"This is... the poison from before?"

Its eyes widened, the Qilin Beast filled with disbelief.

It knew this feeling very well; it was precisely the state of the poison circulating within its body. How, in the blink of an eye, did it turn into a force that cleared blockages and pushed it towards a higher realm?

For poison to turn into a tonic, even a 9-star master couldn't achieve this...

The Qilin Beast trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

At this moment, it thoroughly understood how wise its previous choice had been.

It had only thought Zhang Xuan could dispel lightning tribulations, but it never dreamed he possessed such an ability.

It possessed the Qilin bloodline and was naturally powerful, but its flames were too fierce and difficult to control, making many of its tiny meridians difficult to cultivate... This was why its progress had been slow. Yet, wherever this true qi in its body went, all previous hidden dangers and blockages were cleared...

In an instant, it felt a power that had been suppressed within it for a long time stirring, ready to break through at any moment.

"Master..."

"Break through quickly, don't waste the opportunity..."

Zhang Xuan said calmly.

"Yes!" Knowing it wasn't a time for gratitude, the Qilin Beast closed its eyes and mobilized the power within its body.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, an immense pressure swept over, and an invincible power filled its entire body.

"It... is going to break through too?"

His face changed, and Zhang Wuchen was almost in tears. "Teacher Zhang, please take it out of here. The Zhang Clan... cannot withstand another lightning tribulation. I concede on their behalf..."

When the Azure Dragon Beast broke through just now, the entire guest room almost turned into ruins. If this creature breaks through again, the Zhang Clan might cease to exist!

"Uh... don't worry, it's only breaking through to the late stage of Saint 9-dan; it won't attract a lightning tribulation!"

Zhang Xuan felt awkward.

After the beast acknowledged him, he knew its exact cultivation and strength: late stage of Saint 9-dan, Space-Time Realm!

Now, with the help of his true qi, it would at most reach the peak of its current realm... Such a minor advancement, barring any accidents, would not trigger a lightning tribulation.

"It's good that there won't be a lightning tribulation..."

Looking closely, Zhang Wuchen confirmed the power level and finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had been too nervous just now and only understood after Zhang Xuan explained.

Indeed, such minor breakthroughs do not bring lightning tribulations.

Honestly, he had been scared stiff by this guy... a bit like being overly paranoid.

"Saint 9-dan... every minor advancement is as difficult as ascending to heaven. I wonder how Teacher Zhang managed to make it break through so easily?"

Relaxing, Zhang Wuchen's expression showed a hint of doubt.

Helping the Infernal Azure Dragon Beast break through could be attributed to good luck, or profound accumulation, or extensive knowledge of spirit beasts... But now, this one had just submitted and hadn't even been interacted with much, yet it also broke through... How exactly did he do it?

If he truly possessed such an ability, taming spirit beasts would be as easy as child's play!

"Well... luck, I suppose. The Qilin Beast had also accumulated enough, and I just happened to use some methods to succeed. For other spirit beasts, it wouldn't be this easy!"

Zhang Xuan said.

He definitely couldn't reveal anything about the Heaven's Path True Qi; otherwise, there would be even greater trouble. So, at this moment, it was better to be low-key and not too ostentatious.

"I was being presumptuous..."

Seeing that Zhang Xuan was speaking evasively, Zhang Wuchen knew it involved a secret. He immediately clasped his fists, looked up, and smiled faintly. "I received news from the Saint Son Hall that Teacher Zhang's master is Teacher Yang Xuan, right?"

"That's right, my master is Yang Xuan!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

He still had to "blame" Teacher Yang for his abilities; otherwise, possessing so many skills at such a young age would easily lead to him being captured and used as a test subject.

Anyway, Hu Yiwei wasn't here, and this wasn't the headquarters of the Master Teacher Pavilion. Since even the Saint Son Hall hadn't figured it out, the other party certainly wouldn't suspect him.

"No wonder..."

Nodding, Zhang Wuchen looked over with a slight hint of doubt. "Teacher Zhang, do you know where Teacher Yang is now?"

"My master is always elusive, his whereabouts uncertain. I don't know either..."

Zhang Xuan hastily replied.

Zhang Wuchen paused, then understood why Zhang Xuan, after arriving at the Zhang Clan, hadn't sought out his master but instead caused widespread destruction here – he hadn't known his master was present.

"Hehe, you've arrived at quite a convenient time. Teacher Yang happens to be in seclusion at the Zhang Clan. Since you're also here, you two master and disciple should be able to meet very soon!"

Zhang Wuchen looked at him with a smile.

"Teacher Yang is here?"

His body stiffened, and Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly tightened.
