Seeing the dragon turtle being smashed open by a few strikes, the First Saintess couldn't accept it. Who exactly were these reinforcements that Xu Qingyao brought in? E Gu, after all, was recognized by the Demon Ancestor as a heaven's pride demon beast...

"Oh hohohoho..." While the First and Second Saintesses were horrified, only Xu Qingyao couldn't help but laugh, showing none of the demeanor of a saintess.

Then, she spoke casually, "Let's handle them one by one."

She wanted to watch the powerless expressions of the First and Second Saintesses a little longer.

However, after witnessing the power of the "Great Saint," even the strongest follower of the Second Saintess, who once matched the dragon turtle, the Iron-Eating Beast, had lost confidence.

"I hate monkeys," it muttered.

Unfortunately, the match had to continue.

Faced with this "monster" summoned by Lin Jing, neither man nor beast could withstand even one strike.

If they could, it would be two strikes... three.

"Cough..." As the Iron-Eating Beast's entire armor shattered, its body was sent flying, leaving the remaining followers utterly terrified.

As for those on Queyu's side, there was a deathly silence.

"Indeed, the bloodline power of a Demon Ancestor level," the Moqilin Race Leader took another deep look at Lin Jing, hoping to discern something, but unfortunately, even with his cultivation at the Early-Stage Void Profound, he couldn't see through anything.

The Great Saint that Lin Jing transformed into was stronger than the Zhu Yan Demon Ancestor not only because of the great mana spent to create a power-boosting magical artifact for it, but also because he used the technique of layered illusions to construct the Great Saint's phantom heart.

Within the Great Saint's body, multiple layers of illusions were added.

The first layer: the momentum of causing a ruckus in the Dragon Palace and the Celestial Court, bridging the battle heart of the war beast Zhu Yan, allowing a perfect fusion of the two.

The second layer: the Beast Master's full display of the Beast Taming Body's imposing illusion.

When enemies gaze into the illusion's eyes, they're first intimidated by the astonishing presence, needing little harm caused; merely destabilizing their minds momentarily, hindering the use of their demon pill Divine Techniques, was enough for Lin Jing to instantly decide victory.

This creation of illusion beasts, employing Technique Elemental Spirit, layering illusions technique, god-intimidating method, and Void Reversal Technique, can be said to be the pinnacle creation of Lin Jing's illusions.

"I initially thought it was just luck that led him to encounter a young Qilin with precious blood, but now it seems it's not the case here."

The Qilin Race Leader marveled, "It's because he's strong enough that the young Qilin with precious blood is willing to follow him voluntarily!"

Even Xu Qingyao, during the Foundation Establishment stage, did not have a pet beast with a Demon Ancestor bloodline.

Under the battle might of the Great Saint, none under the command of the First and Second Saintess dared to fight.

The two Great Saintesses were helpless and powerless.

"What kind of dumb luck did Xu Qingyao run into?"

"Oh well, losing a small match at a tea gathering isn't a big deal."

"Since that's the case, let's end it here." The Qilin Race Leader began to announce the match's end, which seemed without suspense, but at this moment, from the direction of the Qilin Ancestral Land, countless ancestral spirits suddenly fell silent.

"Roar!!!" Meanwhile, a Qilin ran madly towards them.

Although the dragon koi was continuously undergoing bloodline enhancement, it could also sense the external situation. This time coming to the Qilin Race, it's not so much concerned about the breakthrough.

What it cared about was that with the pine mouse and Ice Soul Gu absent, it alone could accompany Lin Jing in battle.

By then, the senior sister would definitely reward it with countless treasures for its heroic disposition.

Unfortunately, until the tea gathering began, the dragon koi still hadn't finished its bloodline enhancement.

The dragon koi was impatiently anxious inside.

In its anxious heart, its potential burst forth, receiving blessings at a faster pace, finally completing the bloodline enhancement on the day of the tea gathering. It landed heavily beside Lin Jing, first looking at the monkey, then at Lin Jing, and finally... casting its gaze on the followers of the First and Second Saintesses.

"It's already over." Lin Jing patted its head.

"Look at you, are you sure you didn't miss any blessings?"

"Roar???" The dragon koi was stunned. It's over?

"Yes, it's over."

Lin Jing looked towards the First and Second Saintesses. Seeing Lin Jing's fire Qilin had returned, they took a deep breath. A Beast Master not even at full strength can suppress their followers with just a single pet beast. What kind of monster is this Fire Dragon Alchemist?

If he grows to Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation... that would be incredible, and they'd be less likely to be a match for Xu Qingyao.

"But you came back just in time." Lin Jing recalled the Great Saint illusion and then also recalled the dragon koi.

Inside the zen staff space, the dragon koi soon heard Lin Jing's voice.

"The battle just now consumed too much, not much mana is left. Transfer all your mana to me..."

Dragon Koi: ???

"Congratulations." At the same time, the Qilin Race Leader congratulated Lin Jing for securing the final victory, also congratulating him on his pet beast successfully receiving the blessings of the Qilin Ancestors.

Three treasures floated towards Xu Qingyao's direction. Of course, she didn't keep them for herself; it was all Lin Jing's achievement. With Lin Jing thanking the Qilin Race Leader and returning to Xu Qingyao's side, the senior sister immediately awarded the three treasures to Lin Jing.

"They're yours," she smiled.

"There will be more rewards once we return."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, too." Lin Jing received the three treasures joyfully, exceedingly happy. The alien fire can now be given to the dragon koi, as it had now entered the Demon Core Realm, capable of withstanding more alien fires within its body.

As for the bone ring, he decided to keep it as a life-saving tool for himself.

Although a Demon Emperor Bone Qilin of the Divinity Transformation stage might not withstand many enemies for him.

Regarding the Thousand-Year Fruit, it was Lin Jing's biggest surprise and most treasured – he wondered if it could be fed to Gu Qianqiu, who only had ten years of lifespan left.

After all, the fruit is fiery by nature, and with Gu Qianqiu's frail constitution due to her life force being exhausted, she might not be able to endure it.

If she can't take it, giving it to himself or the pine mouse would be an excellent option.

If he took it himself, although the lifespan gained isn't supplementing his Longevity Body's power, he could still gain a thousand years. He could use it without regret later when it's time to burn lifeforce. After all, it's a freebie.

As for giving it to the pine mouse, it could divide its lifespan by five hundred years, crafting a stronger wood clone to stir trouble on his behalf.

"The entertainment program has ended. Now, we may begin with the main topic." The Qilin Race Leader looked at the Three Saintesses.

"Over these ten years, how has the plan for the revival of the demon clan progressed, according to Your Highnesses the Saintesses?"

It first looked at the First Saintess Liu Yan. This entertainment program only intrigued the Third Saintess; the First and Second Saintesses were not in the mood at all.

"Elder, in these ten years, I haven't made any progress," the First Saintess shook her head.

The Qilin Race Leader sighed and then looked at the Second Saintess Shen Xi.

"I haven't made any progress either," the Second Saintess said.

The Qilin Race Leader remained silent, finally looking towards the Third Saintess Xu Qingyao.

"The same, no progress," Xu Qingyao spoke, leaving the Qilin Race Leader completely disheartened.

"You all..." The old qilin could only say it was as expected. After all, countless demon clans hadn't made progress on this matter for tens of thousands of years, and expecting three saintesses to consistently make progress every ten years was unrealistic.

However, it still wondered whether it was right for His Majesty the Demon Emperor to entrust the entire matter to the three Half-Demon Saintesses for research?
