Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Just as Huang Long was about to reach out and hug the little fire qilin, the little fire qilin unexpectedly turned around beside Huang Long's hand and pounced straight on Zi Ling, as if it were very affectionate towards Zi Ling.

Those fiery red eyes were fixed on the bottle of wildflower honey in Zi Ling's hand, and a few drops of saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.

Huanglong naturally waved his hands upwards, dispelling the clouds that were pouring down rain over the hatching pool.

He withdrew his hand, rubbed it gently, and said self-deprecatingly, "Even a mighty Golden Immortal like myself isn't as attractive as a bottle of Hundred Flower Honey. Is it really true that whoever provides the best food is my mother?"

As the first baby Qilin hatched, the rest of the baby Qilin broke out of their eggs one after another.

To Huanglong's surprise, the seven little Qilins had five different attributes: one each of metal and wood, two of earth, two of fire (plus one on Ziling's body), and one of lightning attribute Qilin that was surrounded by lightning.

The fact that there wasn't a single water-attribute Qilin made Huanglong feel a little regretful, as he almost completed the Five Elements.

As the other little Qilins were born one after another, auspicious energies descended from the endless void, slowly merging into Huanglong's Daoist temple, where they were absorbed by the earth's spiritual veins and countless spiritual roots and immortal herbs.

Catalyzed by this wave of auspicious energy, the overall concentration of spiritual energy and Daoist charm in the Five Elements Grotto Heaven increased by nearly 50%. With the addition of many acquired spiritual roots that subsequently underwent transformation, the number of newly added acquired spiritual roots in the entire Daoist temple reached nearly twenty.

After a few breaths, the auspicious clouds that had enveloped the cave slowly dissipated.

The auspicious energy descending from the endless void was also gradually decreasing, until finally only a wisp would occasionally appear. Although the amount was small, it was continuous.

Suddenly, Huang Long's gaze sharpened, and then he turned to look at the little fire unicorn who was constantly acting cute and charming in Zi Ling's arms, trying to trick her into eating Hundred Flower Honey. He revealed a playful smile.

It turned out that the other baby Qilins that had just hatched did not rush out of the incubation pool to ask Zi Ling for food like the first Qilin. Instead, they sat down on the spot, picked up the pieces of the eggshell that had once nurtured and imprisoned them, and happily munched on them.

After the six baby Qilin finished eating all their eggshells, the fire-attribute baby Qilin set its sights on the eggshell left by the first baby Qilin to hatch.

Because they share the same attributes, the eggshell is far more attractive to this little fire qilin than to the other five little qilins.

When the little Qilin picked up a piece of eggshell and started gnawing on it, Huanglong gently poked the warm little head of the Qilin licking nectar in Ziling's arms with his finger.

The little Qilin, disturbed from its meal, glared angrily at Huanglong, but its wide-open eyes seemed rather cute to Huanglong.

Huang Long pointed to another little fire unicorn that was gnawing on an eggshell and said softly, "Wow, that little unicorn is actually gnawing on an eggshell, and it looks like it's yours. Hmm, it's eating so deliciously." There was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.

Upon hearing Huanglong's words, the little Qilin stared at Huanglong and immediately looked in the direction Huanglong was pointing. It saw a fire Qilin of the same color as itself, holding its egg and munching on it. It was eating very quickly, and in no time it had almost finished the eggshell in its paw.

The little Qilin, enraged by its "home being stolen," ignored Zi Ling and Huang Long, let out a "waa," and flashed into the hatching pool.

He kicked another little fire unicorn that was happily eating its eggshell, sending it flying and tumbling several times in the pool.

When the other little fire qilin finally reacted after a moment of stunned silence, it roared and charged at the first little fire qilin with its mouth wide open, showing no awareness of being caught stealing; all it felt was anger at having its food taken away.

The two little fire unicorns wrestled together, each striking the other with a claw, a palm, a headbutt, and a rear end, going back and forth.

This prompted Huanglong, who was watching the spectacle from the poolside, to clap and cheer repeatedly.

While the two little ones were fighting, the other baby unicorns emerged from the incubation pool one after another, sniffing the fragrance of the nectar in Zi Ling's hand, and rushed towards Zi Ling one after another.

Although Zi Ling liked these little Qilin very much, she was still frightened when she saw several little Qilin rushing towards her like little wolf cubs. She let out a "Ah!" and hid behind Huang Long.

Seeing the little Qilin rushing towards him, Huanglong conjured several spiritual ropes, tied them up one by one, and hung them in front of him.

The little Qilins were not afraid at all. Instead, they kept howling at Huanglong, as if ordering him to put them down. Their eyes were full of arrogance.

Looking at these little Qilins with "rebellious bones," Huanglong slightly revealed a trace of his concealed aura.

Instantly, the entire summit of Wudao Peak fell silent. The several bound baby Qilins trembled, clutching their heads with their four paws. The two fighting in the hatching pool were also frightened by this aura and lay motionless at the bottom of the pool.

Huanglong tossed the spiritual rope in his hand to Ziling behind him, then flung out two more ropes, grabbing the two little creatures from the hatching pool and tossing them to Ziling as well.

Looking at the little Qilin who was trembling with fear, Zi Ling asked with some concern, "Master, are they alright?"

Huanglong glanced down at the little Qilin and said somewhat, "It's nothing, it's just that these little guys can't distinguish between the big and small kings. In their inherited memories, the Qilin clan is still one of the overlords of the prehistoric world."

Huanglong casually unleashed seven beams of spiritual light, imprinting information about the Qilin clan into the minds of the seven little Qilins.

Then he said to Zi Ling:

"From now on, you'll be in charge of teaching these little ones the rules of our Five Elements Grotto. If they misbehave, starve them and don't give them any Hundred Flower Honey. If they still misbehave, hang them up and beat them. Anyway, these little guys are tough and can take a beating!"

Having lost interest in teasing the little Qilin, Huanglong vanished from the spot in a flash.

Several trembling little Qilins, after sensing that Huanglong's aura had disappeared, all gathered around Ziling. The arrogance that had filled their eyes earlier had vanished, replaced only by fawning over Ziling.

After leaving the summit of Wudao Peak, Huanglong appeared beside a series of newly transformed acquired spiritual roots.

After carefully examining the newly added spiritual roots, he found that most of them were ordinary spiritual roots, which were of little use to him at the moment. However, they were numerous enough that, together with the original spiritual roots, the total number exceeded thirty.
