Chapter 142: Totem Inheritance

Chapter 142: Totem Inheritance

Seeing the Golden Fire Giant Lion awaken, Qin Yun was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Big Lion, can my own blood also flow into my left arm?"

The Golden Fire Giant Lion blinked its large eyes and said, "Of course, when your blood enters your left arm, it will be transformed into Heavenly Lion blood by the Heavenly Lion totem on it. In short, this arm will grant you immense power. Additionally, you need to understand the strength of the Heavenly Lion totem; it is an incredibly powerful thing."

While refining the puppet silver lion, Qin Yun had already discovered that the Heavenly Lion totem was an extremely formidable mystical pattern!

The Golden Fire Giant Lion continued, "I am a descendant of the ancient Heavenly Lion clan, with some Heavenly Lion blood in me, so I can help activate the Heavenly Lion totem for you... The totem is the memory inheritance of a clan, immensely profound and all-encompassing, enough for you to study and research throughout your life."

Xiao Yuemei exclaimed, "How amazing... Brother, how did you get it?"

"I soaked in the Heavenly Lion Pool for ten days, and the totem appeared on my arm. I'm not quite sure why it appeared," Qin Yun was also very curious. He looked at the Golden Fire Giant Lion and asked, "Big Lion, do you know why?"

The Golden Fire Giant Lion said, "You might have soaked in Heavenly Lion blood... Our Heavenly Lion blood inherently carries this totem inheritance. The appearance of the Heavenly Lion totem on you means that you have been recognized by the Heavenly Lion bloodline."

Qin Yun quietly sensed his left arm and could clearly feel a strong ancient force hidden within.

Xiao Yuemei, being very playful, climbed onto the Golden Fire Giant Lion's back and giggled, "Big Lion, you have a martial soul too, right? What kind of martial soul is it? Can you tell me?"

"Golden Yang Martial Soul!" the Golden Fire Giant Lion replied.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei were instantly shocked. A Yang Martial Soul was a heaven-endowed martial soul!

Xiao Yuemei, somewhat disbelieving, asked, "Is that true? Your martial soul is so powerful, and it can even counter ghosts, yet you were beaten so badly by the Ghost King!"

The Golden Fire Giant Lion was somewhat frustrated and said, "I was interrupted during a critical breakthrough by the Ghost King, which caused me to be injured, giving him an opportunity. Then, he controlled my body and took me deep into the Cloud Dragon River to a place of extreme yin, where he gradually drained my strength!"

Xiao Yuemei jumped off the lion's back, took out her mirror, and placed it on the Golden Fire Giant Lion's furry belly, "Big Lion, relax your entire body and let my martial soul power enter yours to sense your martial soul... Don't worry, nothing bad will happen. Consider it a small favor for me!"

"As long as it doesn't harm you, you saved me, so helping a little is no problem," the Golden Fire Giant Lion chuckled.

Qin Yun was secretly amazed; he knew that Xiao Yuemei was going to use her mysterious mirror martial soul to replicate the Golden Yang Martial Soul in her mirror.

Sure enough, the mirror in Xiao Yuemei's hand suddenly flashed with golden light, but it only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

"Hehehe... It worked, I now have a heaven-endowed martial soul," Xiao Yuemei laughed happily. "When my mental energy is sufficiently cultivated, I'll switch to the Golden Yang Martial Soul!"

Qin Yun had dual martial souls, both of high quality, but he was still envious of Xiao Yuemei's mirror martial soul!

"Big Lion, what's your background? You're very powerful and can speak!" Xiao Yuemei climbed back onto the lion's back and asked, "And that Ghost King... How did it target you?"

The Golden Fire Giant Lion said, "The Ghost King escaped from the Immortal Burial Land. My main responsibility is to patrol the Immortal Burial Land and kill any evil spirits that escape from it."

The Ghost King actually came from the Immortal Burial Land... That meant the evil souls in those ghost beasts also originated from there!

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei exchanged glances, their faces full of shock.

Xiao Yuemei hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the Immortal Burial Land is? Can you take us there? Is there a lot of treasure there?"

The Golden Fire Giant Lion chuckled, "Cross the Cloud Dragon River, and you'll reach the Immortal Burial Land. There's certainly a lot of treasure inside, but you need to have the means to take it!"

After crossing the Cloud Dragon River, it was still part of the Cloud Dragon Mountains. How could it be the Immortal Burial Land?

"Are the entire Cloud Dragon Mountains the Immortal Burial Land?" Qin Yun couldn't help but ask.

The Golden Fire Giant Lion said, "More or less. I don't know where the immortal bones are buried... But the accompanying demons and monsters are numerous, and many have revived or turned into malevolent spirits, making that area very dangerous."

Qin Yun had part of the Immortal Burial Map. If he could gather all the pieces in the future, he might discover where the immortal bones were buried. This would require immense strength to undertake, otherwise, it would be a one-way trip.

The Golden Fire Giant Lion stood up and said, "I need to go back. You must never approach the Cloud Dragon River in this area again; it's very dangerous!"

Xiao Yuemei lightly leaped from the lion's back to Qin Yun's side and said, "Big Lion, goodbye, I'll miss you... When we meet again, I'll be stronger than you."

The Golden Fire Giant Lion laughed loudly, spewed flames to burn away all traces, and then sprinted off, disappearing into the darkness...

"These are the storage bags of those guys; they killed more than twenty ghost beasts," Xiao Yuemei giggled. "Now they're all ours!"

"Brother, you should refine more ghost-repelling talismans for protection. If you encounter a powerful ghost beast, the ghost-repelling talisman can be very useful."

Xiao Yuemei thought the ghost-repelling talismans were useless, but after seeing their effectiveness firsthand, she held the spiritual patterns in even higher regard.

Qin Yun clenched his left fist, feeling the Heavenly Lion power within, thinking: If I use this arm to grip the Giant Spirit King Hammer, the impact will definitely be enormous, greatly aiding my craftsmanship.

"We should leave here first," Qin Yun said, then carried Xiao Yuemei and stepped on the Fire Cloud Step to leave from the air, avoiding leaving any footprints.

Xiao Yuemei now felt even closer to Qin Yun, sticking to him like a little sister.

They moved away from the Cloud Dragon River and arrived in a mountainous forest area filled with perilous peaks.

The mountains in this region were several thousand meters tall, shrouded in mist.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei found a cave halfway up a towering mountain and went inside to rest.

The cave entrance was located in the middle of the mountain, about two thousand meters above the ground, making it very safe, as ghost beasts and other vicious creatures couldn't easily climb up.

"I'll refine some ghost-repelling talismans; you can play around," Qin Yun said, then took out a furnace upon entering the cave.

Xiao Yuemei pouted and huffed, "You make it sound like I'm a child... I want to help you refine the talismans."

"Alright, then help me cut the animal hides!" Qin Yun said. "Then infuse your mental energy and inner strength into the hides."

Xiao Yuemei nodded and began working diligently.

Qin Yun used the pre-cut animal hides to engrave the ghost-repelling talismans.

"Yuemei, you don't have a spirit weapon yet, right? I'll refine one for you!" Qin Yun suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuemei used a semi-spiritual sword in battle, which had many chips.

"Great, great... Preferably a refined spirit treasure!" Xiao Yuemei had long wanted one but didn't want to ask, knowing that refining a spirit weapon was very difficult and time-consuming.
