Qi Yue widened his eyes, "What did you say? I slept for thirty-six days after just one sleep, are you joking?"

Zagru shook his head and said, "Monks don't lie. It took me nine days to initiate your bloodline, and then an additional twenty-seven days to integrate your bloodline with your body. It's exactly thirty-six days, and now it's already mid-June."

"Well, more sleep isn't a bad thing. So now, should you tell me what benefits this so-called Kirin Bloodline awakening brings? " Qi Yue was always a go-with-the-flow kind of person. Even though he found it hard to believe Zagru's words, he quickly accepted the fact.

Zagru smiled and said, "No rush, let's get you a bath first. That will make you feel refreshed and improve your spirits. Please follow me." As he spoke, Zagru turned and walked out of the hall.

Following Zagru out of the hall, Qi Yue found the blinding sunlight a little unbearable. He quickly shielded his eyes from the light with his hand, and only after a brief adjustment did he begin to feel somewhat comfortable.

The courtyard was serene, with no one else around. An ancient tree stood at its center. Perhaps due to the high-altitude climate, the tree, which Qi Yue did not recognize, was quite thick but not very tall.

After a deep breath of fresh yet slightly chilly air, Qi Yue felt an indescribable comfort. He followed Zagru through two courtyards and into a room. Along the way, they encountered some monks from the monastery, all of whom bowed respectfully to Zagru, their eyes full of sincere reverence.

The new room gave Qi Yue a somewhat amusing impression because it was entirely modern and bore little resemblance to the rest of the monastery. It was equipped with all kinds of modern household appliances. Although it wasn't grandly decorated, it looked just like an ordinary urban household.

Zagru walked over to the sofa and sat down, smiling, "Everything here was given by the government, including that Lincoln Off-roader you saw. The bathroom is over there, you can go take a bath yourself. I've prepared some clean clothes for you as well, they're inside. People from our monastery seldom come here."

Qi Yue did not know what to say. Since he arrived in Tibet, everything he had experienced was so mysterious that it seemed surreal yet undeniably real.

Taking a bath was a simple process for Qi Yue, who was much quicker than average. After just ten minutes, he emerged refreshed, with a cleanly shaven face and neatly combed hair. His normally copper-toned skin had become much fairer due to over thirty days of sleep. During the awakening process, his body had undergone a second, invisible growth spurt. He was even taller and more well-built than before, his originally slim figure now more towering due to the expansion of his skeleton. Sporting simple jeans and a loose tank top, he exuded an aura of a sunny boy, except his eyes sparkled mischievously, which added a dash of wicked charm to him.

"Hmm, taking a bath was really refreshing, Zagru. The clothes you bought for me fit quite well. I thought you were going to get me something like a monk's robe before I went in. I didn't expect you to plan it so thoroughly, even underwear is included." While talking, he sat down casually next to Zagru.

After a hot shower, he felt as if his whole body was floating, a feeling of comfort he couldn't express in words. He felt much more relaxed.

Zagru glanced at the relic bead in Qi Yue's hand, "Your Kirin Bloodline awakening went very smoothly, even smoother than I had imagined. Now, you are the first Four Auspicious Clouds Kirin in history and also a Mo Kirin."

It was then that Qi Yue calmed down. He found that Zagru looked much more haggard than before he went to sleep, his face was pale and there was no blood. His gaze was still so kind, but the fatigue and a slight sense of weakness in his eyes didn't escape Qi Yue's eyes. Although Qi Yue did not know why his senses had become so sharp, he could clearly feel that the process of his Kirin Bloodline awakening was definitely the reason for Zagru's weakness.

"So, can you tell me now in detail about this Kirin Bloodline and the Zodiac Guardian you mentioned?" Qi Yue focused his gaze on Zagru. Hearing him say that his Kirin Bloodline awakening was very successful, his heart became excited. If he could have the strength of a superhero like the one who wears his underwear on the outside, wouldn't all the beautiful women of the world succumb to his charm? Thinking of this, the smile on his face involuntarily became somewhat lascivious.

Zagru clearly saw the expression on Qi Yue's face but pretended not to notice and seriously said, "Whether it's you or the other twelve Zodiac Warriors, abilities are divided according to the level of clouds, totaling nine levels. Each time you advance a cloud level, your strength will correspondingly increase. For a Zodiac Warrior to advance one cloud level means that their strength can increase by one and a half times. That is, the strength of the second cloud is akin to the strength of the first cloud increased by one and a half times, while the strength of the Third Cloud Realm is one and a half times that of the second cloud, or two and a quarter times that of the First Cloud Realm. As the level becomes higher, the strength becomes stronger. As one cultivates at a higher cloud level, the greater the strength will increase with each advanced cloud level. By the last three clouds, each elevated cloud level will directly increase the strength by one fold."

Qi Yue's eyes lit up, and he said, "So that means, I directly have the power of the fourth cloud level. Doesn't that mean I'm very powerful?"

Zagru shook his head and said, "No, it's not like that. Awakening of the bloodline is one thing, and strength is another. As you have said, no one can gain without effort, especially when it comes to cultivating a Zodiac Guardian. As the King of the Zodiac Guardian, you need to start from scratch. Right now, you don't even have the power of the First Cloud Realm. When I referred to you as a Four Auspicious Clouds Kirin, I didn't mean that your abilities have advanced to the fourth cloud level, rather I meant the abilities you possess. In ancient times, the Kirin clan was divided into four types. Apart from the Mo Kirin, most Kirins look similar, but their abilities differ. For example, a Kirin that excels in fire ability is a Fire Kirin, one that excels in wind ability is a Wind Kirin. Generally, the Kirin can be divided into four types, namely Thunder, Fire, Wind, and Water. Each Kirin possesses a cloud that belongs to them, and the color of the cloud represents the attribute of their power. The cloud of the Thunder Kylin is purple, the Fire Kirin is red, the Wind Kirin is green, and the Water Kirin is blue. In history, there have been Kirins that possessed two or more clouds, which meant they had more than two types of abilities. But the clouds you possess are four in number, each representing these four colors. This means, when I refer to you as a Four Attributes Kirin, you have the abilities of Thunder, Fire, Wind, and Water. This is the first time in the history of Kirin, even the Kirin King of ancient times, didn't possess the four attributes."

Qi Yue was overjoyed, "Then, doesn't that mean I am very strong? Four types of abilities, hahaha, isn't that like a cocktail effect? I didn't expect that I would be a genius."

A touch of sadness flashed in Zagru's eyes, but Qi Yue was too excited to notice.

"In some sense, you are indeed the greatest genius in Kirin history and the most gifted Kirin. As long as you are willing to work hard, possessing four types of abilities can make you much stronger than ordinary Kirins. Plus, the Mo Kirin's natural self-healing ability and robust physique, theoretically, you can completely become the strongest among the Eastern Guardians." Zagru said calmly, looking at Qi Yue's excited expression.

Qi Yue nodded and said, "Then, quickly tell me how to cultivate. The feeling of being a strong person must be good."

Zagru smiled faintly and said, "The method to cultivate as a Zodiac Guardian is basically the same as yours, it's generally called Elevating Clouds. However, your Elevating Clouds method is a little special and is called Elevating Kirin. Cultivation is arduous and long. If you want to gain the strength of a superhero, you must be willing to pay the price of a superhero. You shouldn't be too excited, having four attributes is good, but if you want to advance to the First Cloud realm, you must cultivate each of the four attributes to the First Cloud level. Only then can you continue to cultivate the Second Cloud. The power of the four attributes combined is formidable, but whenever you wish to continue advancing upward, the powers of the four attributes must be balanced. That is to say, if you want to cultivate the Third Cloud Realm, the first thing you must do is achieve the Second Cloud level in all four attributes. As the King of the Zodiac, each time you advance a cloud level, your strength will increase by twice as much as before. The more clouds, the larger the gap between your strength and the other Zodiac Guardians."
