Chapter Fifteen: Blood Python

  At dusk, the outer and inner disciples of the Tianjian Sect stopped practicing their sword moves and busy activities. Some returned to their residences from various venues, while others gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the different doubts they encountered during their practice.

  Inside the Tianjian Sect's inner gate, outside a very independent and spacious courtyard, a slender and delicate girl wearing a green dress had a look of anxiety on her face as she directly stepped into the courtyard. The courtyard door hadn't even been knocked on, showing the girl's hurried pace.

  "Hmm?" Fan Yiran suddenly put down the book in his hand, turned around to look at the visitor, and a smile appeared. "Yanran, how come you have time to find Master today?"

  Actually, after seeing the anxious expression on the visitor's face, Fan Yiran already knew what he was up to, and it was just a deliberate joke at her expense. Among his junior disciples, perhaps only the girl in front of him could make him return to his true self and act freely.

  "Master Bo," Yulan saw her master like this, the anxiety on her face grew stronger, "Where did Qingyan brother go? I went to find him early in the morning and he wasn't there. Just now when I went again, he still wasn't there. He's not familiar with the terrain of Tianxian Peak either, could he have gotten lost?"

  After a few days of recovery, Liu Yanran had fully recovered her good mood this morning and returned to her lively self. She then remembered that she had neglected Ling Qingyan for several days because of her own reasons... So, after finishing breakfast in the morning, she hastily ran to find Ling Qingyan, who was on his way to Jian Xiao Ge at that time, and naturally missed him. Originally, she didn't think much about it, thinking that Ling Qingyan had gone out to play. However, when she went over again in the evening, she still hadn't seen Ling Qingyan, and even the lunch sent by the kitchen disciples was still placed on the stone table in the courtyard where Ling Qingyan was. At this point, she realized something was wrong and hastily ran to find Jian Xian Zhang Lao Fan Yi Ran.

  "He was taken to the Sword Tomb by your master, and he should be back tonight," Fan Yiran's face flashed with a smile, and then he looked at Liu Yanran with a hint of teasing, "Perhaps, from now on, you'll have to call him Master Uncle whenever you see him!"

  Wow!

  Upon hearing this, Liu Yanran's face suddenly changed, and she was stunned. Jianzhong, she naturally knew what place it was, that was the place where she had thought of going three or four times since childhood, but each time she hadn't gone yet before being forcibly brought back by her master. After growing up and understanding things, she also knew that Jianzhong was the location of the Tianjian Sect's forbidden area, with strict rules that anyone who entered except for the sect leader would be punished severely. Only after understanding did she know her master's good intentions, and how ignorant she had been in the past. She regretted her behavior as a child.

  Because the master of Tianjian Sect, Lian Jun, had a deep affection for Liu Yanran, he also told her about some situations in Jianzhuang. Liu Yanran knew that inside Jianzhuang, her ancestors and several uncles were hiding. They were the foundation of Tianjian Sect's standing tall on Chongwu Continent. At this time, hearing Fan Yi's words, how could Liu Yanran not understand? Her younger brother Qingyan was obviously favored by her ancestors, who wanted to take him as their apprentice personally.

  "It's not getting lost that's good," Liu Yanran patted her chest slightly, let out a breath, and immediately looked at Fan Yiran, "Stinky Shibo, Qingyan won't make me call him Shu Shu!"

  Faced with this, Fan Yiran could say nothing and could only smile helplessly.

  ………

  Sweltering air filled the entire space, in this fiery red space, a young man and a youth still sat cross-legged facing each other talking.

  "Big brother, what is a Totem of Innate Talent? And you said I have two Totems of Innate Talent, how is that possible?"

  Ling Qingyan looked at Tuoba Xiuzhu with a puzzled expression, hoping he could give himself a clear answer. Earlier, after hearing Tuoba Xiuzhu say so much, Ling Qingyan was still somewhat confused. Innate Totem, how did he not know he had an innate totem? Moreover, this big brother also said that he had two innate totems.

  "You really don't know?" Tuoba Xiuyu was taken aback, and then frowned: "I think you can already use your spiritual awareness, so you should be able to sense the existence of those two innate Totems in the Sea of Consciousness!"

  "In the sea of consciousness?" Ling Qingyan was taken aback, and then a flash of inspiration struck him, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. "Big brother, just say it's that snake and Qilin. I didn't expect these two animals to be the so-called innate totems. No wonder, I had two innate totems and I didn't even know."

  Indeed, Ling Qingyan never thought that the two animals he had known since childhood in his consciousness were actually his innate totems. Originally, Ling Qingyan still thought they were a side effect of retaining memories from his previous life after reincarnation.

  "Animals?" Taoba Xiu heard Ling Qingyan's term for the innate totems, and was taken aback at first, then shook his head and said: "Brother, those two innate totems are not animals. Animals are extremely weak and powerless existences. The existence of innate totems must be that of a demonic beast!"

  Yao beasts, Ling Qingyan naturally knew. In the Zhongwu Continent, there were places where yao beasts existed, gathering many different kinds of yao beasts. Not to mention other places, just talking about the southern region of the Zhongwu Continent, the far south "Nanhuang" was a place where all kinds of yao beasts roamed freely.

  "You just called that white demon 'Qilin', didn't you?" Tuoba Xiu seemed to remember something, staring at Ling Qingyan with wide eyes. "Brother, do you know that white demon?"

  At this time, Tuoba Xiu's heart was also slightly startled. He had been roaming the world for many years and had never seen such a demonic beast before. And yet, his younger brother, who was only 15 or 16 years old, seemed to know that white demonic beast from its tone earlier.

  "Huh," Ling Qingyan was taken aback, and from Tuoba Xiuyu's tone, it seemed that the Chongwu Continent did not have a "Qilin". At the same time, a flash of insight appeared in Ling Qingyan's mind, and the scene of his own death in his previous life reappeared. The white Qilin jade he had grasped in his hand before his death reappeared in his mind, and Ling Qingyan couldn't help but tremble slightly from the bottom of his heart. "Could it be that the Qilin in my consciousness is because of the white Qilin jade from my previous life?"

  Coming back to his senses, Ling Qing looked at Tuoba Xiuxiu who was staring at him, waiting for an answer. He drummed up the courage in his heart and said, "Big brother, actually I don't know that demon beast either. 'Qilin' is a name I gave it myself."

  Ling Qingyan didn't deliberately hide it, but after all, the secret of his two lifetimes as a person, not even his own parents knew. Besides, such frightening things, it's better not to say them at all.

  When Ling Qingyan said this, Tuoba Xiu's expression changed to one of sudden understanding, and it was clear that he also didn't think Ling Qingyan would recognize the demon beast that even he didn't know.

  "Those two demonic beasts are your innate totems. Logically, a person should only have one innate totem, but you have two, which is also the reason why I'm curious about you," Tuoba Xiu said, looking at Ling Qingyan: "That white demonic beast, I don't know what kind of demonic beast it is, but its head is somewhat similar to that of the 'Dragon Clan'. And your other innate totem is the demonic beast 'Bisha Mang', which is also a very rare and powerful totem."

  "Blood Python!"

  Ling Qingyan was taken aback, he hadn't expected that the serpent-like demon in his sea of consciousness would have such a domineering name.
