Xu Fang's gaze was fixed on the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, and not just on the pearl itself. Information about the Ancestral Dragon Pearl also clearly appeared beside it, falling into Xu Fang's sight.
This was a function of the treasure map. Regardless of whether someone was an official member of the chat group or not, as long as Xu Fang willed it, he could view the treasure's information at a glance.
At this moment, the information about the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was presented to Xu Fang without any obstruction.
[Ancestral Dragon Pearl]
[Grade: Ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure.]
[Ownership: Zu Long, Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan.]
[Current Location: Crystal Palace of the East Sea Dragon Clan, beside the host. The system map continuously navigates for the host.]
[Description: Although it is only an Ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure, it is extraordinary, being the supreme treasure of the Phoenix Clan. It was formed from the essence of Zu Long himself and can almost be considered Zu Long's life-bound treasure. The Ancestral Dragon Pearl can gather the dragon clan's luck, making it extremely important and significant to the dragon clan. This treasure can gather luck, and simultaneously release its power to suppress dragon clan members, compelling obedience. It can also be used as an attack artifact to suppress enemies with the power of luck.]
Xu Fang looked at the description of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. It was not much different from the Phoenix Staff, the supreme treasure of the Phoenix Clan, which he had helped Kong Xuan retrieve. Both were items that gathered the luck of a clan.
For such treasures, their symbolic significance often outweighed their practical use for their respective races.
Xu Fang's gaze fell upon the "Ownership" field, and he was utterly confused.
"Logically speaking, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is now in Ao Guang's hands. Why hasn't the ownership changed yet?"
Xu Fang was puzzled. According to what the Four Dragon Kings had said, it was clear that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl would eventually fall into Ao Guang's hands and be managed by the Dragon King of the East Sea.
Therefore, the ownership field should have changed to Ao Guang, not Zu Long.
When he had helped Kong Xuan control the Phoenix Staff back then, the ownership had changed instantly. Why was there no change this time?
"It can't be that it just hasn't refreshed yet, can it?"
Xu Fang chuckled wryly. He could only attribute this delay to the system's poor internet speed, which hadn't updated yet.
However, even thinking this way, Xu Fang couldn't truly relax and remained doubtful.
He remembered that when he helped Kong Xuan find the Phoenix Staff, the ownership field had been marked as "Once belonged to Yuan Feng, the Ancestor of the Phoenixes."
It wasn't directly marked with the previous owner like it was now, without even the word "once."
Just as Xu Fang was contemplating whether this situation was a temporary accident or a long-term anomaly, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle on the side had already begun to praise Xu Fang's achievements.
"Senior Xu Fang is indeed unfathomable and incredibly skilled!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle gave Xu Fang a thumbs-up and immediately praised him profusely.
"I still remember that back then, Senior Xu Fang found the Phoenix Staff, the supreme treasure of the Phoenix Clan, for us. It feels like it was just yesterday, and now Senior Xu Fang has retrieved the supreme treasure for the Dragon Clan again. Truly amazing!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle praised Xu Fang without reservation. On one hand, he genuinely admired Xu Fang, and on the other hand, after being thoroughly beaten by Xu Fang earlier, he was now trying to redeem himself and regain Xu Fang's favor.
Xu Fang was not interested in such flattery. He heard it and let it pass, not taking it to heart.
It was the young Ao Xue and the little Qilin who listened with great interest, eagerly asking the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle for details.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle was also delighted and enthusiastically recounted Xu Fang's prowess and the events of the past.
After listening, Ao Xue also sighed with emotion.
"It seems that Senior truly possesses innate divine abilities. The treasures of the Primordial Era are all within your grasp!"
Ao Xue said, her gaze towards Xu Fang growing more respectful.
"Moreover, Senior seems to have a destined connection with the supreme treasures of our three great clans. This is fate!"
Xu Fang could only offer a wry smile at this. If you put it that way, it almost sounds like you're offering yourself. Wouldn't that big bird have any objections?
Xu Fang didn't take it to heart, but the little Qilin, upon hearing these words, suddenly had an epiphany and immediately took a step forward, kneeling on the ground.
"Senior Xu Fang, I have been following you for many days. I hope you will not treat me differently."
"Please, Senior, retrieve the Qilin Seal, the supreme treasure of the Qilin Clan, for our clan. The Qilin Clan will be eternally grateful and willing to go through fire and water for Senior Xu Fang!"
As the little Qilin spoke, he kowtowed several times. This child was truly earnest, and as he raised his head, blood was already trickling from his forehead.
The little Qilin understood clearly that Senior Xu Fang was so wondrous that he had brought back supreme treasures for both the Phoenix and Dragon Clans. It would likely be an easy task for him to retrieve the Qilin Clan's supreme treasure as well.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how could he possibly miss it?
Such a display from the little Qilin startled not only Xu Fang and the others, but even the Four Dragon Kings who were weeping relative to each other. Instantly, all eyes present converged on the little Qilin.
The little Qilin, feeling the gaze of everyone, paid no mind and kept his eyes fixed on Xu Fang.
"Senior Xu Fang, although I have a somewhat presumptuous request, I still hope Senior Xu Fang will not refuse. As long as the Qilin Seal, the supreme treasure of the Qilin Clan, can be retrieved, I will do anything!"
Fearing that Xu Fang might not agree, the little Qilin kowtowed several more times.
This was a critical moment. The Senior was testing his sincerity, and he couldn't falter now, lest he miss this opportunity and disappoint the expectations of the two princes.
Seeing this, Xu Fang finally came back to his senses and helped the little Qilin up.
"Alright, alright, I'm really afraid of you. Get up, I promise you."
Xu Fang said, agreeing to the matter.
The little Qilin was overjoyed and immediately stood up, cheering and leaping with excitement.
Xu Fang looked at him and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
This was getting out of hand. He felt like he had become a treasure discoverer for the three great clans. He was cultivating here, not doing scientific archaeology!
However, Xu Fang didn't have much resistance towards helping the Qilin Clan retrieve the Qilin Seal.
After all, he had already decided to send this little fellow back to the Qilin Clan.
When that time came, with the Qilin Seal, the supreme treasure of the Qilin Clan in his hand, those two fellows Mo Yu and Qilin might not have much to say.
In this way, he could repay their previous help and have a clear conscience.
After a round of cheering, the little Qilin, seeing Xu Fang's unmoving demeanor, became impatient and eagerly asked.
"Senior, when do we set off?"
The one who answered him was not Xu Fang, but the Dragon King Ao Guang, who had recovered his composure.
"This member of the Qilin Clan will likely not get his wish. Fellow Daoist Xu Fang will not help you search for the Qilin Seal at this moment."
Upon hearing this, the little Qilin looked at Ao Guang, who had a smiling face, and was immediately shocked.
He had been too happy just now and had forgotten that the three great clans harbored an irreconcilable enmity.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King, had spoken like this with a sinister smile. Could it be that he intended to obstruct the Qilin Clan's fortune?
