Chapter 523: Chapter 484: Ancestral Temple

"But this isn’t a permanent solution," Wu You said. "It’s impossible for me to become a Legend like Great-Grandma all on my own."

"Great-Grandma was just lucky. She met the old headmaster of Snow City Beast Taming University. That senior was a peerless genius, the kind you see once in a century!" said Wu You’s father.

"I believe Li Qian is that kind of genius, too!" Wu You said with conviction.

"Since you’ve already made your choice and formed the bond, there’s no point in us trying to persuade you anymore," said Wu You’s mother. "We just hope you won’t regret this decision."

"I won’t, Mom. I have complete faith in Li Qian."

...

After Wu You left, her father, You Xingkai, turned to his wife, Wu Yue. "Honey, why were you so agreeable this time?"

Wu Yue waved her hand, projecting a screen of light from her smartwatch. "Our daughter has excellent judgment. I couldn’t be happier that she chose a Bondsman like him."

Confused, You Xingkai immediately looked at the information on the screen.

Displayed on the screen was information about Li Qian.

Much of Li Qian’s information was public, so it wasn’t difficult to investigate him.

As You Xingkai read through the information, his jaw dropped, especially when he saw that Li Qian had once helped the Xiahou Family in Mo Yuan City evolve a Legendary Level Three-legged Golden Crow. "This... this can’t be real, can it?"

"If you’re referring to the Three-legged Golden Crow incident, I’d guess luck was the primary factor," Wu Yue analyzed rationally.

You Xingkai nodded at her words.

That aligned with his own expectations. Still, even with luck, it was an outrageous achievement.

...

Li Qian remained at the manor, enjoying the fine food and drink. He was in no hurry, using his free time to pull out his VR glasses and review some data.

He was completely focused, not worried in the slightest.

Li Qian was not anxious at all.

However, his leisurely time didn’t last long. On the morning of the third day, Wu You’s father, You Xingkai, and her mother, Wu Yue, came to meet with him.

"My apologies, my apologies. We’ve had some family matters to attend to these past few days and have neglected our honored guest. We’re so sorry," said Wu You’s mother, Wu Yue, her face wreathed in smiles.

It was clear she was being quite polite.

"Not at all, not at all. I’ve been treated wonderfully here. I couldn’t be more comfortable," Li Qian replied, equally polite.

’Whatever they’re thinking,’ Li Qian understood the principle of not spurning a smiling face.

After that, Wu You’s family began to chat warmly with Li Qian.

Li Qian played along, feeling slightly awkward.

The conversation felt uncomfortably like a mother-in-law sizing up her future son-in-law.

After chatting for a while, Wu You’s parents led the way. The group of six boarded a Roller Coaster and traveled to the center of Qin Lake.

The Roller Coaster docked on Lake Heart Island, and the six of them disembarked.

Li Qian had seen this Lake Heart Island before, from the Flying Ship.

He had even spotted buildings on it. As it turned out, his eyesight was quite sharp.

There were indeed buildings on Lake Heart Island, and they were clearly no ordinary structures.

With its white walls, white tiles, flying eaves, and bracketed archways, it was obviously not a common residence. Of course, an ordinary home wouldn’t be built on a remote island in the middle of a lake anyway.

"This is the Ancestral Temple of our Wing Race."

You Xingkai began to explain, "I’ve already informed them of the reason for your visit, and the Guardian of the Ancestral Temple has approved your request."

"You may go in now. The Ancestral Temple records the many different evolution methods of our Wing Race," he continued. "You should find it beneficial to read through them."

To help their daughter complete her evolution and break through her life’s limitations as soon as possible, You Xingkai and Wu Yue were sparing no effort.

Under normal circumstances, gaining entry to a place like the Ancestral Temple was exceedingly difficult, even for a Bondsman.

Yet, they had managed to arrange it with such ease.

’This alone shows that their status is anything but simple.’

Li Qian didn’t overthink it. He gave a soft "mm," nodded, and walked straight in.

’I plan to use my Golden Finger to complete Wu You’s evolution directly,’ Li Qian thought. ’But the Progress Value for this newly created task must be very low. I went through a lot to figure out the Spiritual Light Cat’s evolution and only saved up twenty-eight Achievement Points. Even if I poured them all into this, it would probably be a drop in the bucket.’

’If I can browse through the evolutionary methods of past generations of the Wing Race People, even if each one is unique, I should be able to draw parallels, accumulate a good amount of Inspiration Value, and make significant headway on the task.’

After a nod, Li Qian strode forward without hesitation and ascended the stone steps.

There weren’t many steps, perhaps twenty or thirty in all. Before long, Li Qian reached the top.

At the top of the steps was a stone platform, and at its end stood the Ancestral Temple, a magnificent structure.

Ten massive stone pillars flanked the temple’s main gate.

Li Qian saw with a single glance that the pillars were carved with images of various winged people.

Some soared high in the sky with wings outstretched, while others stood atop clouds, eyes closed in contemplation. Some brandished swords, and others sat discussing profound truths with their companions. The variety of actions and expressions was astonishingly lifelike.

Li Qian guessed that the carvings on the pillars depicted the past sages of the Wing Race.

Without hesitating, he walked directly toward the main gate of the Ancestral Temple, which was already ajar.

As he approached, he poked his head inside and called out respectfully, "Is anyone in there?"

"Come in, young man." The moment the words left Li Qian’s mouth, an ancient voice echoed from within the Ancestral Temple.

Li Qian followed the sound with his eyes and soon spotted a stooped old man beside a massive Wing Race statue inside the temple.

The old man looked ancient and decrepit, as if he had one foot in the grave.

However, the instant Li Qian met his murky gaze, the hair on his arms stood on end.

Without a doubt, this stooped old man was an incredibly powerful expert.

The sense of Danger Perception he gave off was nearly as strong as Director Duan’s.

’This must be the Guardian of the Ancestral Temple.’

Li Qian couldn’t help but make the connection, recalling what You Xingkai had just said.

"Greetings, Senior. I’m here to..." Li Qian began to state his purpose as he walked toward the stooped old man.

The old man waved his hand, cutting him off. "I know why you’re here. Follow me. The stone carvings that record the evolution of our Wing Race People are just ahead!"
