Chapter 1929 - 1482: Restoring the Fire Qilin! The General’s First Step!

To be honest, he even had the unrealistic thought of bringing the Marquis Wei Wu into the Beast Taming House as an honorary Chief, or even handing over his position for the Marquis to take over.

By then, with the Fire Qilin and the Demon Dragon, the reputation of the Beast Taming House would certainly soar.

Unfortunately, he was well aware that with the status and strength of Marquis Wei Wu, not to mention the position of Chief of the Beast Taming House, even the position of Pavilion Master of the Four Great Sects might not be enticing enough for the Marquis, and to ask would only bring humiliation upon himself.

Seeing their own Chief Chen Xin approaching, the disciples of the Beast Taming House also mustered the courage to follow.

Until they were within fifteen meters of the Fire Qilin, the oppressive heat and high temperatures forced the disciples to stop, all of them both nervous and excited as they watched Jiang Dali salute, their eyes constantly darting towards the Fire Qilin, their hearts pounding and mouths dry.

"I am Chen Xin, the Chief of the Beast Taming House, greeting Marquis Wei Wu!"

Chen Xin clasped his hands and made a deep bow to Jiang Dali, who was examining him, his attitude humble.

Jiang Dali reached out to pat the somewhat restless Fire Qilin, nodded slightly to Chen Xin, and said, "I have heard that over the past few days, your people from the Beast Taming House have been helping to look after the Fire Qilin. Thank you, Chief Chen."

Chen Xin’s face turned red upon hearing this, and he squeezed out a bright smile, saying excitedly, "It was no trouble, no trouble! Marquis, please feel free to call me by my name, there is no need for such titles. In front of a Beast Taming Master like you, this title of Chief seems unworthy."

Jiang Dali was momentarily speechless, knowing that Chief Chen was being polite, but it was he himself who had just claimed the title of Chief.

Nevertheless, he was not in the mood for pleasantries. The reason he was willing to talk to the people from the Beast Taming House was that he intended to leave the Fire Qilin in their care in the coming days, and it seemed they were very interested in the Fire Qilin.

After Jiang Dali simply conveyed his thoughts, the disciples of the Beast Taming House were excited, and Chen Xin was even more thrilled, his expression nervous as he tightly clutched his fingers, glancing at the wary Fire Qilin before hesitantly saying, "Marquis... Marquis, you wish for us to look after the Fire Qilin. Of course, I, Chen Xin, am more than willing, but..."

His expression was both delighted and awkward, "But the Fire Qilin’s power is extraordinary, and I fear our Beast Taming House might not be able to care for it properly and cause trouble for you, Marquis."

To take care of the Fire Qilin, he was naturally more than willing, and during this period, the reputation of the Beast Taming House would greatly increase.

As for the so-called risks, with his strength at the Second Realm of Returning to Truth, although not absolutely capable of suppressing an enraged Fire Qilin, he could still manage with the help of a few old friends. What he was saying now was merely courteous talk.

"Hahaha! Experts are as plentiful as clouds in the Holy Dynasty; what trouble could there be?"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, patting the Fire Qilin’s head, before swiftly drawing the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber from his back, pointing at the Fire Qilin Reverse Scale on the blade, glowing with a demonic red light, and said solemnly.

"This is the Fire Qilin Reverse Scale, which this Marquis once used to forge the saber. Now, this saber holds more commemorative value than practical use for me. I intend to take the Reverse Scale to heal the Fire Qilin’s old injuries and help it restore its peak strength."

"Oh?"

Chen Xin straightened up respectfully, clasped his hands in admiration, and said, "Marquis, with such great aspirations and to restore the Reverse Scale of the Fire Qilin, this is a meritorious deed beneficial to the world, earning my utmost respect."

"It’s not that simple! This matter still relies on your Beast Taming House, Chief Chen."

Jiang Dali shook his head and said to Chen Xin, who looked surprised, "The Reverse Scale has been separated from the Fire Qilin for too long, and having it grow back onto the Fire Qilin is no easy task. The cumbersome processes and rare materials required are things this Marquis cannot attend to. Your Beast Taming House is proficient in beast taming, and if you could handle this task, it would be for the best. Everything needed will be provided by my Black Wind Village, and once accomplished, this Marquis will bestow a generous reward!"

"Ah!"

Chen Xin hurriedly waved his hands, "Marquis, what are you saying? If thanks are due, it is I, Chen Xin, who should thank you, Marquis, for entrusting my Beast Taming House with this opportunity. Rest assured, we will make sure to look after the Fire Qilin well and complete the tasks you’ve entrusted to us."

"Good!"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, then stretched out his hand, snapping his fingers fiercely.

The impressive power of the Vigorous God Finger immediately acted upon the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber.

With a resounding clang!

The Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber bent into a breathtaking arc, and the Fire Qilin Reverse Scale, flashing with red light, popped out, landing in Jiang Dali’s hand under the eager gaze of the Fire Qilin.

"Fire Dog! Entrust this Reverse Scale to Chief Chen for safekeeping, and you will stay in the Beast Taming House during this period. Chief Chen will assist you in merging the Reverse Scale."

Jiang Dali reprimanded the Fire Qilin sternly.

The Fire Qilin let out a low growl, its hooves stamping the ground into scorched earth, its gaze towards Chen Xin unfriendly, yet it still wagged its tail in submission to Jiang Dali’s authority, indicating its agreement.

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, handing the Reverse Scale to Chen Xin, before leaving gracefully under the gaze of those who viewed him as a divine figure.

...

With many matters settled here, he planned to immediately learn the advanced divine skill "Near and Far" of Shattering Void in the Scripture Pavilion of the Holy Dynasty, and then set out at once to meet with Xiao Sanxiao and seek out the Mud Buddha to jointly discuss a method to seize the Earth Crystal Core and control the Earth Intent.
