"Alright, the plan for the resurrection of the Demon Race is yet to succeed, so the Saintesses still need to strive." the Qilin Race Leader remarked as he prepared to commence the final segment of the Holy Maiden Tea Party.

The three Saintesses compete against each other to assess their progress in power.

"Stable, stable, this time it's practically a sweeping victory." Senior Brother Ouyang approached Lin Jing, who was replenishing his True Essence, and said, "Her Highness the Saintess' followers might be a bit inexperienced, but her strength is the strongest among the Saintesses!"

"Do you know why?" he transmitted his question to Lin Jing.

"I can mostly guess." Lin Jing thought, eyes closed, not particularly interested in this battle.

His task was already completed.

If the senior sister got beaten next, he couldn't do anything to help.

Ouyang Hao laughed, "The First Saintess has had too many children, causing a decline in physique, so naturally, her power is mediocre. Though her strength isn't impressive, the future is promising; when those children grow up, they'll be an undeniable force, these are her true followers in the future."

"Although the Second Saintess has excellent talent and comprehension, creating numerous new techniques, this kind of endeavor consumes too much energy, leaving her with little time to enhance her own power. Most of these new techniques can't match the inherited Cultivation Techniques of the Demon Court, it's just a gamble on hope."

"But it's different for our Saintess. Her followers are weak, not because they started off weak but because the strongest among them was directly contracted as a Pet Beast by her, becoming part of her own strength, no longer counted as a follower..."

"So, her followers being weak isn't because she hasn't been in the Demon Court long, but it's all her own doing..."

"With herself plus four Pet Beasts, five against one, her strength is instead the strongest among the Saintesses..."

Lin Jing, upon hearing this, fell into a slight silence. It has to be someone from our Beast Taming Sect...

Just as Senior Brother Ouyang said, the senior sister began battling the other two Saintesses, quite unreasonably summoning four Pet Beasts to gang up.

A majestic white crane, a phoenix, a great roc, and a peacock; among them the crane is the first Pet Beast contracted by the senior sister at Beast Taming Sect, while the other three were chosen and contracted at Demon Court for their excellent talent and potential.

Both the phoenix and peacock have imperial bloodlines.

The great roc's bloodline is even terrifyingly ancestral, akin to the Vermilion Bird, a primordial fierce beast.

Yet, Lin Jing's ancestral blood Vermilion Bird is an illusion, but the senior sister has indeed contracted a genuine ancestral blood Pet Beast.

Looking across the entire Celestial Essence Continent, within the Nascent Soul Stage, the cultivators who can defeat her are probably fewer than ten; at this moment, Lin Jing can only think of the current top-ranking Prince Gu in the Ancient Country.

Previously, although Xu Qingyao could suppress the other two Saintesses, her followers were crushed by theirs; now, with Lin Jing's joining, she achieves an all-around victory among the three Saintesses.

Soon, the tea party concluded, the Third Saintess successfully defeated the other two Saintesses and received an invitation from the Qilin Race Leader.

......

In the depths of the Qilin Race void.

The Moqilin Race Leader walked ahead, with Xu Qingyao following behind.

"Ancestor, I've brought Her Highness the Third Saintess." With the Moqilin Race Leader's words, a golden light flashed in the void depth, sketching out the phantom of a radiant Holy Qilin, its old whiskers fluttering as its divine eyes gazed at Xu Qingyao.

"Greetings, Senior." Xu Qingyao slightly bowed; this was the oldest monster of the Qilin Race, with cultivation reaching the peak of the Void Profound.

"Her Highness the Third Saintess, you should know why I am meeting you, correct?"

"Of course, it's regarding the Pet Beast Qilin of the Fire Dragon Alchemist." Xu Qingyao looked up at the colossal being and said, "It should be about its recognition to return to its ancestral roots."

"This matter can be accommodated, it was essentially orphaned, so there's no issue, but it will continue to assist the Fire Dragon Alchemist next to me and cannot truly return to the Qilin Race in essence, only nominally recognize its ancestry."

The Qilin Ancestor said, "Naturally, with the Qilin Race being part of the Auspicious Beast Race, once it nominally recognizes its ancestry, the clan's fortune can improve. With its growing strength, the boost in clan fortune will be even greater."

"However, as a member of the Qilin Race, it ultimately needs to completely return to its ancestral roots."

"I hope it will fully return to the Qilin Race after the 'Beast Master' dies; even after death, its bones and soul must enter the Qilin Ancestral Land to shelter the Qilin Race for a thousand years."

Um… Xu Qingyao felt confused; she understood the Qilin Ancestor's intention, he hoped the Dragon Koi would return to the clan in the future and make revitalizing the Qilin Race its mission after assisting Lin Jing.

Moreover, the Qilin Ancestor was very reasonable, not demanding the Dragon Koi to return immediately, but to wait until the Beast Master dies!

This seemed fine since the Qilin Race had considerable longevity, easily outlasting a human cultivator of the same stage, and by then her lifespan might only be a fraction completed; still many more years of life.

That's why some powerful bloodline demon beasts are willing to be her Pet Beasts and temporarily follow her, as they believe their lifespan exceeds the Beast Master's — let the Saintess use resources to train them first, it's beneficial either way.

But the problem is, Lin Jing is not the same, he's a Longevity Body; even if that big fish dies, Lin Jing might not even get one white hair.

Seeing Xu Qingyao suddenly hesitating and silent, the Qilin Ancestor said, "Of course, during this time, the Qilin Race will also assist Her Highness the Third Saintess; the whole race will serve you and fully support you in researching the Transformation Pill."

"Alright, deal, I'll agree on behalf of the Fire Dragon Alchemist." Xu Qingyao finally spoke, "When his time is up and the Fire Qilin is without a master, let it return to the Qilin Race!"

The Qilin Ancestor nodded in satisfaction.

......

"That's how it is..."

Afterwards, the senior sister explained her agreement with the Qilin Race to both Lin Jing and the Dragon Koi, leaving Lin Jing rather speechless.

"..." Even the Dragon Koi had little confidence in outliving the Beast Master.

"It doesn't matter; even if the Qilin Ancestor discovers you and Lin Jing are the same person, as long as our position with the Qilin Race allows me to obtain more resources from the Demon Court, that is enough."

"Once the Transformation Pill is developed, any group's position won't matter anymore. The Demon Emperor once said that whichever Saintess can research the transformation method will be regarded as the next heir of the Demon Court, personally taken as a direct disciple." Xu Qingyao pursed her lips.

"Becoming the disciple of the Demon Emperor, that's the key."

"Understood, upon returning this time, I'll promptly focus on crafting the Transformation Pill." Lin Jing said.

Through the event with the Heavenly Lion Race, he gained the latent dragon fortune, many times more than winning first in the prodigy battle, enough to help the Pine Leaf Mouse achieve Core Formation.

"Mm, but before that, first follow me to see Gu Qianqiu to plan her cultivation path ahead; ten years is still too short." the senior sister shook her head.

"Not to worry, perhaps first dividing an ice soul gu to her to preserve youth, slowing the life erosion over these ten years, let her first become a Gu Master..." Lin Jing suggested.
