Noon, 3:45.

After a quarter of an hour of soothing efforts, the spiritual energy within Liuli's body calmed down and was gradually absorbed by her for her own use.

Just then, Liuli suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with panic, and exclaimed, "Oh no, Lingxi, I'm afraid I'm about to develop a fox tail!"

Originally, it would have been over two hundred years before Liuli could develop her six-tailed form, but she had benefited greatly from following Li Molin. The Immortal Fruit she consumed ten years ago alone significantly increased her spiritual power, saving her considerable time. Furthermore, over the past ten years, Li Molin had periodically given her pills made from relics, golden cores, and nascent souls obtained from the battlefield. Consuming these pills had brought Liuli one step closer to developing her six-tailed form. Therefore, today, the spiritual power of the two Immortal Elixirs was absorbed, allowing her to immediately develop her six-tailed form.

Lingxi opened her eyes, her face showing exhaustion. She asked in surprise, "After Sister grew her fox tail, is a heavenly tribulation about to descend?"

Liuli nodded, looking panicked, and said, "Yes... what should we do? What should we do?"

Lingxi's face paled, but she was helpless.

Liuli shook her head helplessly and looked at Lingxi in silence.

No matter how much Liuli didn't want to grow a fox tail in front of so many people, she absorbed spiritual energy into her inner core in her dantian. Slowly, the image of a little fox appeared clearly on the inner core. At first, the little fox had three tails trailing behind it, but as the spiritual energy in the inner core increased, more and more tails began to grow from the little fox's back, until it had six tails.

In the sky, large patches of golden light rapidly approached from both the north and east, arriving in an instant. The reinforcements from Jinyuan Temple and Pudu Nunnery had finally arrived.

Jinyuan Temple and Pudu Nunnery each sent 500 disciples to aid Bodhi Temple. Upon their arrival, these 1,000 disciples quickly joined the battle. With this reinforcement, the Buddhist side immediately gained the upper hand.

At that time, Li Molin was fighting with Shi Chan. His cultivation was above Shi Chan's, but Shi Chan was protected by the Seven Treasures Kasaya. Although Li Molin was defeating Shi Chan and could not defend himself, he could not take Shi Chan's life.

After more than a thousand Buddhist monks joined the battle, several disciples from Jinyuan Temple came to Shichan's place and joined him in resisting Li Molin's attacks.

Li Molin frowned, and after looking around, his expression changed.

At this moment, Bodhi Temple received reinforcements, so it seems unlikely that they will be able to capture Bodhi Temple today.

"Damn it!" Li Molin's eyes turned cold as he said in a chilling voice, "How did they arrive so quickly? It would have taken only an hour... no, only half an hour..."

He was extremely annoyed, yet there was nothing he could do.

While fending off the attacks of several disciples from Jinyuan Temple, Li Molin pondered whether he should order a retreat.

Thanks to several disciples of Jinyuan Temple who blocked Li Molin for him, Shi Chan was finally able to retreat and catch his breath. After taking a few deep breaths and resting for a while, he was about to step forward again to join the others in attacking Li Molin.

Just then, a dense demonic aura suddenly shot into the sky, causing the demonic energy and Buddhist light above to surge and churn, like waves rolling up on the sea under a storm.

This sudden turn of events caused both the Buddha and the demon in the sky to stop fighting and look down in horror.

The group consisted of cultivators with exceptional eyesight. They spotted a small clearing at the summit of Pure Land Mountain, where a small wooden cabin stood nestled among lush greenery. The soaring demonic aura emanated from beside the cabin, and from where the aura originated, a dazzling white light shone forth, radiating like a miniature sun.

Suddenly, six tails, each about ten feet long, appeared from the white light, flailing wildly.

The white light slowly dissipated, revealing the figure of a woman in white. At that moment, the woman had her eyes tightly closed, her face filled with pain, while the six tails were wildly thrashing behind her.

"Liuli!" Li Molin's expression changed, and he immediately descended rapidly, his descent speed as fast as a meteorite.

"Nine-tailed fox!"

"A nine-tailed fox! It's actually a nine-tailed fox!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, the monks exchanged bewildered glances.

Shi Chan's expression changed drastically. He stared blankly down below, and exclaimed in disbelief, "A nine-tailed fox! She wasn't an ordinary fox demon after all; she was actually a nine-tailed fox..."

Li Molin quickly flew to Liuli's side. At that moment, Liuli's body was surrounded by surging spiritual energy, which danced wildly like white spirit snakes, making a "whoosh" sound.

"Liuli?" Li Molin reached out but was blocked by the surging spiritual energy around Liuli, and was unable to touch her body at all.

Li Molin's face grew increasingly worried. He turned to look at Lingxi and asked in a deep voice, "Lingxi, what's wrong?"

Lingxi stood helplessly beside Liuli. When she heard Li Molin ask her, she hurriedly said, "Sister has taken two immortality pills. She is about to give birth to six tails!"

"Two?" Li Molin's expression changed. He stared coldly at Lingxi and said sternly, "Liuli is greedy, why didn't you stop her!"

"I..." Lingxi was deeply aggrieved, and with worry for Liuli, tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall. She said anxiously, "Young Master, please calm down. Please help my sister first. She looks like she's in a lot of pain..."

Soon, beads of sweat covered Li Molin's forehead, and he felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, it was just a fox tail that had grown. In a way, Liuli had turned misfortune into blessing. But she had taken two immortality pills in a row. She was afraid that if she hadn't been careful, the spiritual energy would have broken through all her meridians, and she would have met a tragic end.

After a moment's thought, Li Molin suddenly reached out and, passing through the white spiritual energy beside Liuli, grabbed her arm. He pulled Liuli into the air and flew away quickly into the distance, leaving behind only one sentence, which he shouted: "All demons, listen up, retreat!"

Lingxi followed closely behind Li Molin and flew up. The demons also knew that now that the Buddhist sect had sent reinforcements, not only was it impossible to capture Bodhi Temple, but if time dragged on, it was uncertain whether they could even retreat safely. So, the demons acted swiftly, taking advantage of the Buddhist disciples' discussions, and soared into the sky to chase after Li Molin.

A young monk beside Shi Ning, looking unwilling, asked, "Abbot, should we give chase?"

After a moment's thought, Shi Ning shook his head and said, "No need. Ming Qi, take stock of the casualties and lead the uninjured disciples to help the wounded. Also... have Shi Chan wait for me in the Buddhist hall and tell him that I have something to ask him."

"Yes." Mingqi glanced angrily in the direction the demon had left, then turned and flew away.

Shi Ning then called over a young monk and said, "Mingxiu, take some people to properly settle the people from Jinyuan Temple and Pudu Nunnery. Find out who is in charge and invite them to the Buddhist hall. Tell them that this humble monk has something to discuss with them."

Mingxiu clasped her hands together and nodded, saying, "Yes."
