Returning from cultivating immortality, the top scorer in the college entrance examination goes bers

Returning from the Shen family villa, Lu Jingchen hurried back without even taking off his coat.

He, who usually remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, now had eyes full of barely suppressed anticipation.

He grabbed Lu Qingyuan, who was about to pour water, and urged her, "Sister, why don't you go back to your room and cultivate?"

"I have some important things to take care of, don't bother me."

Lu Qingyuan nodded obediently, didn't ask any more questions, and turned to go back to her room with her water glass.

Watching his sister's figure disappear completely at the end of the corridor, Lu Jingchen immediately turned around and rushed into his bedroom.

With a "click," he locked the door shut and drew the curtains tightly.

Lu Jingchen sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and calmed his excited emotions.

He flipped his hand, and the golden egg that had swallowed half a box of his spirit stones and was finally showing signs of hatching appeared in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he took out more than a dozen crystal-clear mid-grade spirit stones from his storage ring.

They were carefully placed around the golden egg, forming a spirit-gathering array.

As soon as the formation was completed, a rich spiritual energy surged out from the spirit stone.

As if summoned, they frantically rushed into the golden egg.

In the close-up shot, the surface of the golden egg suddenly shone brightly, the dazzling light almost illuminating the entire bedroom.

The spirit stones, which were originally full of spiritual energy, began to darken rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, it all turned to dust and scattered onto the sheets.

Click—

A crisp cracking sound rang out clearly in the quiet bedroom.

A fine crack had suddenly appeared at the top of the golden egg.

A tiny, delicate paw, yet gleaming with a sharp, cold light, suddenly emerged from the crack.

With a forceful pull of its claws, it tore off a large piece of the eggshell, revealing the bright red interior inside.

Lu Jingchen held his breath, staring intently at the golden egg in his palm, his gaze burning, not daring to blink.

"After consuming so many of my spirit stones, it has finally hatched."

"I'd like to see just what kind of mythical beast you are."

Click, click, click...

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and more and more cracks appeared on the eggshell.

A tiny animal, no bigger than a palm, was munching on the eggshell with great relish.

Soon, most of its body emerged from the eggshell.

The small beast was covered in fine, blood-red scales, and between the scales, it seemed as if a raging fire was burning.

His body radiated a scorching heat, even the surrounding air seemed to distort slightly from the heat.

It has a pair of tender, jade-colored horns on its forehead, and four little paws stepping on faint flames, looking majestic.

Looking at the little beast, Lu Jingchen couldn't help but gasp.

"This...this appearance, could it be...a Qilin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little beast finally finished gnawing on the last piece of eggshell.

It shook its round little head and shook off its scales.

A pair of big, dark eyes stared straight at Lu Jingchen.

The next second, the little guy let out a soft, babyish whimper.

She rushed straight towards Lu Jingchen, snuggling affectionately into his arms.

Her little tongue would occasionally lick his fingers, making soft, whimpering sounds, like a clingy kitten.

Lu Jingchen was overjoyed and carefully reached out to gently stroke its warm scales.

"It really was a fire qilin!"

"It seems it mistook me for its parents at first glance."

He was secretly overjoyed: the Qilin is an ancient auspicious mythical beast, impervious to all evil.

Perhaps this little guy can really help me break through this cultivation bottleneck and take another step forward!

Lu Jingchen liked it more and more as he looked at it, but then he thought that the little guy's appearance was too flashy.

If you take it out like that, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.

He made a hand seal with his fingertips, and a warm, spiritual light instantly enveloped the little Qilin in his arms.

He muttered to himself, "But this look is too eye-catching; I need to change your appearance."

The spiritual light dissipated, revealing the once majestic and extraordinary fire unicorn.

It instantly curled up into a ball, transforming into a small, adorable, yellow-furred mongrel.

With its ears drooping and tongue lolling out, it looks just like any other Chinese rural dog you can see on the roadside.

Lu Jingchen nodded in satisfaction, picked up the "little mongrel," and walked out of the room.

In the living room, Lu Qingyuan was sitting at the table drinking water.

When I looked up and saw my brother carrying a little yellow dog, I almost spat out my water.

Her eyes widened, and she pointed at the puppy, her face filled with disbelief.

"Brother? Where did this puppy come from? Where did you bring it home?"

Lu Jingchen smiled mysteriously and gently placed the puppy in his arms on the ground.

He waved one hand at the little guy and uttered a soft shout: "Appear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the magical light faded away instantly.

The originally adorable little mongrel was instantly engulfed in a raging inferno.

The flames dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a magnificent fire unicorn with crimson scales all over its body.

An overwhelming aura instantly filled the entire living room.

Although the little guy is still just a cub, the aura of the divine beast is truly intimidating.

Lu Qingyuan took a half step back in shock, covering her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"This...this is a Qilin?! The legendary auspicious mythical beast, the Qilin?!"

Lu Jingchen looked smug and reached out to rub the fire qilin's head.

"We're lucky; this little guy is already quite strong even though it just hatched."

"His physical strength alone is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator."

The fire unicorn seemed to understand Lu Jingchen's praise and immediately raised its little head proudly.

Two thin tongues of fire shot out of its nostrils, and it let out a childish roar, as if it were asking for credit.

Lu Qingyuan then came to her senses, and the shock in her eyes instantly turned into affection.

She cautiously approached, and looking into the fire unicorn's big, round eyes, her heart almost melted.

"Wow, that's amazing! And so cute!"

She stared at the little guy for a long time, then her eyes lit up and she blurted out a sentence.

"Since he's now a member of our family, let's call him Fire Qilin from now on! How imposing!"

The atmosphere that had been imbued with the majesty of a divine beast instantly collapsed.

Lu Jingchen chuckled, squatted down, and vigorously rubbed the fire qilin's head.

He suppressed a laugh and said to the little one, "Did you hear me?"

"From now on, your name will be Fire Qilin."
