Chapter 233 Capturing the Fire Qilin

"What you said makes some sense, but what do I need to do in return for your help?"

Mo Fei could not believe that there were gifts in this world without reason. Besides, he knew that every time the clay bodhisattva tried to peek into the secrets of heaven, he would suffer a backlash from fate.

Upon seeing that Mo Fei had agreed, Mud Bodhisattva was overjoyed.

Although he now possesses the ability to glimpse destiny and know the future, he remains trapped like a caged bird, unable to escape this world.

The backlash from Heaven has left him terminally ill.

If he hadn't met Mo Fei, having already lost his Fire Monkey, he might have died soon from the backlash of fate.

But things are different now. All that is needed is for Mo Fei to take him out of this world and sever his connection with it. Then the Heavenly Dao of this world will no longer be able to launch a Heavenly Decree against him.

“Take me away, take me away from this world. As long as you can take me away, I, Mud Bodhisattva, will swear to serve you to the death for the rest of my life.”

After listening to the clay bodhisattva's request, Mo Fei pondered for a moment before giving a reply.

"Your request isn't impossible, but taking people away from a world isn't as easy as you think."

I always believe in equal exchange; the value you provide determines the amount you can get in return.

"If you behave well from now on and cooperate obediently with my next actions, I might be able to give you a chance to leave this world."

After the Mud Bodhisattva happily expressed his gratitude and withdrew, Mo Fei and his party finally embarked on their journey to Lingyun Cave.

The Lingyun Cave is located above the Leshan Giant Buddha, and the fire qilin inside is like a guardian beast, protecting the Xuanyuan Dragon Vein within.

Legend has it that the fire qilin was the mount of Emperor Yan, Shennong. It could breathe fire and swallow gold, and even the most skilled martial artists would be reduced to ashes by its earth-shattering flames.

Hundreds of martial arts practitioners have died at the hands of the creature whenever it appears during floods in Leshan!

The Fire Qilin is extremely powerful. Even someone like Nie Renwang or Duan Shuai would be completely powerless to resist once bitten by it.

At his peak, his strength surpassed that of most of the masters in Fengyun.

However, it is not without its weaknesses. Legend has it that it was wounded by Nie Ying, the ancestor of the Nie family, in its early years, and a piece of its scale armor fell off.

As long as the attack is launched at the point where his scales are damaged, the internal force can penetrate directly and injure his internal organs.

The Fire Qilin is the source of many treasures in the Storm Riders series. Bu Jingyun's Qilin Arm, Duan Lang's Fire Scale Sword, and the Blood Bodhi in Lingyun Cave are all closely related to the Fire Qilin.

Given that such a top-tier divine beast has arrived, how could one not try to take advantage of it?

……

Under Wen Chou Chou's management, Mo Fei didn't have to worry about any trivial matters or affairs, big or small, along the way; everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

All one needs to do is sit in a spacious sedan chair, eat delicacies and wine fed by beautiful maids, and enjoy a tender massage of legs and back.

Such an enjoyable journey made Mo Fei truly reluctant to leave.

While sightseeing along the way, before they knew it, the group had arrived in Leshan.

……

Looking at the enormous Buddha statue, which stands tens of feet tall, not far away, one can't help but wonder how much time the artisans who created it must have spent to build such a massive statue.

Legend has it that the water submerged the Buddha's knees and the Lingyun Cave burned down.

If he could stir up a great flood, could he directly lure out the Fire Qilin? This thought had barely crossed his mind when Mo Fei swiftly dismissed it.

After all, what he wanted was not just a fire qilin. The Xuanyuan Dragon Vein in Lingyun Cave, as well as Nie Renwang Duan Shuai, Xueyin Kuangdao, and Xue Bodhi who guarded the dragon vein, were all his targets.

Take Nie Feng, Duan Lang, Kumārajīva, and the later-joined Mud Bodhisattva, along with a group of Tianxia Hui cannon fodder used for scouting.

Mo Fei and his group then leisurely walked into Lingyun Cave.

Although Lingyun Cave is near water, apart from the initial section being relatively damp, the cave walls further in are unusually warm and dry.

As they ventured deeper, they began to see lush, green vines clinging to the cave walls. Each vine was laden with a considerable number of bright red berries.

"Judging from this situation, this fire qilin probably often comes out to stroll and eat. These blood bodhi seeds must be the fire qilin's food source."

Could it be that these fruits possess the powerful effects of healing wounds and enhancing strength even without injury?

The thought of the fire qilin consuming this strange fruit year after year must make one feel a little uneasy.

This guy is so strong, he must have contributed a lot to the self-sufficiency of spiritual fruits.

After all, even a pig would probably become a flying pig if it ate spiritual fruits every day for so many years.

The others who accompanied Mo Fei into the cave were all filled with longing and drooling when they saw that these legendary fruits were actually covering the walls.

These fruits were Mo Fei's private property, so how could he allow everyone to pick them at will? He immediately spoke up:

"No one is allowed to pick them without my order. Anyone who dares to pick them without permission will have to pay with both hands."

Moreover, it seems that in the drama, whenever someone picks these Blood Bodhi seeds, the Fire Qilin sleeping in the cave can quickly sense it.

The narrow cave where they were now was not a convenient place for fighting.

With Mo Fei's strict orders, even those who were extremely eager could only suppress their desires.

It wasn't until the group reached a corner of a much wider cave passage that Mo Fei began to prepare for the capture plan.

Could it be that they want to capture it alive, and even intend to tame it as their mount?

There will inevitably be a long period of struggle during this time.

To prevent the fire qilin from causing too much damage to the cave, and to make it easier to tame, it is natural to create an environment that is advantageous to oneself.

Therefore, perhaps he intends to use molecular manipulation to properly transform the landscape of this cave.

As Mo Fei braced himself with his hands on the ground and activated his molecular control, the surrounding rock walls immediately began to be shaped at will, like a sand painting.

With the incredible infrastructure-building ability of molecular control, this section of the rock wall transformed into a huge circular pit in just a short while.

The entrance to the cave was completely sealed off by Mo Fei, who used molecular manipulation to transform the soil into extremely hard earth.

Nie Feng, Duan Lang, and the others were all hidden by him in the secret compartments that were specially built on both sides of the pit.

On either side of the cave passage leading to the Fire Qilin, two enormous semi-circular dragon-severing stones were cast using molecular manipulation.

Once the Fire Qilin enters the circular pit, the two circular Dragon-Severing Stones will fall rapidly, completely blocking the Fire Qilin's escape route.
