"Since you don't know where to go, why don't you go and find the materials to rebuild my body first?"

Xiao Mo: "Senior Chu, have you found any clues?"

Yunqi: "We'll go to the far north to find the Nine Spirit Ginseng. It's an important material for reshaping the physical body."

"good."

"The far north is extremely cold and the spiritual energy is scarce; even cultivators can't endure it. We need to prepare some things: fire-attribute clothing for warmth, as well as food and water..."

Xiao Mo walked through the market buying supplies. Since acquiring the immortal's cave, he was no longer short of money; it contained plenty of spirit stones, pills, and weapons...

Looking at the osmanthus cakes and hibiscus cakes from the cultivation world, Yun Qi felt a little envious: "They look so delicious... It's a pity I can't eat them..."

Xiao Mo laughed upon hearing Yun Qi's voice, and bought all the pastries from the stall and put them into his spatial storage (time was frozen in the space, so they wouldn't spoil): "You can eat them once Senior Chu reconstructs his physical body."

Yunqi stared blankly: "How about I watch you eat? Just pretend I've already eaten?"

"Okay." Xiao Mo took a bite of the osmanthus cake and savored it. "The osmanthus cake is sweet but not cloying. It melts slowly in your mouth, filling the air with a faint osmanthus fragrance..."

"Xiao Mo! You've gone too far!! You know I can't have any, yet you're eating it with such a blissful expression."

"I'm innocent! I was just helping Senior Chu savor the food!"

It seems so, but something seems off!

Passerby A: "Hey! Did you hear?! There are some good things at today's auction?!"

Passerby B: "Yeah, yeah, I wonder what it is, that the auction house is going to such lengths to advertise it!!"

Passerby A: "Why don't you go and see for yourself?!"

Xiao Mo watched the two people who had been talking gradually walk away...

Yunqi: "Let's go to the auction house too, maybe there are some good things there."

"good."

Xiao Mo paid the admission fee and received a mask. Everyone in the venue was wearing a mask. The staff said that the mask could change appearance and body shape and hide facial features in order to better protect the privacy of the guests.

The host enthusiastically introduced the auction items, but Xiao Mo and Yun Qi were not interested in the first few pieces.

Then a cage was brought onto the display stand, inside which was a pure white fox, but its breathing was weak, as if it was about to die...

Host: "This is a pure white fox spirit. Would any guests like to take it home as a pet?"

The crowd jeered, "This fox looks like it's about to die, and you're still putting it up for auction?!"

The host remained calm: "Sir, you may not know this, but we went to great lengths to catch this fox. Its wounds have all healed, but it's so weak because it won't eat. Don't be angry, sir. Think of it this way: wouldn't it be more interesting to tame this little animal yourself and make it depend on you?!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd realized it made some sense, so they stopped making a fuss and obediently waited for the bidding to begin.

Xiaoqi: This! Isn't this the adorable little heroine?! How did she get here?!

Yunqi: Where?!

Xiaoqi: That's the fox in the cage!

Yunqi: ...Wow, this is a human-demon romance?

Xiaoqi: This plot has gone way off course... Qiqi, hurry up and get Xiao Mo to save it! What if someone else takes it back and kills it?! That's the female lead!

Yunqi: ...Is the female lead that easy to die?

Xiaoqi: It's not a matter of life or death. Shouldn't the female lead be staying by the male lead's side to develop their relationship?

Yunqi: ...That makes sense!

Yun Qi immediately contacted Xiao Mo: "Xiao Mo, take a picture of that fox!"

Xiao Mo asked in confusion, "Why? I already have a pet egg, I don't need another pet."

Yun Qi was speechless... Xiao Mo, you're destined to be single forever if you keep going like this...

Yunqi said, "Just take the picture! Hurry up!! If someone else takes it from you, I'll never forgive you!"

"I see."

The bidding reached 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, but everyone felt it wasn't worth it and withdrew from the bidding...

Xiao Mo: "110,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Host: "This guest has bid 110,000 low-grade spirit stones. Is there any higher bid?...110,000 once!...110,000 twice!...110,000 three times!...'Clap!' Congratulations to this guest for winning this item. Please come backstage to settle the remaining payment and collect your item shortly."

(1 high-grade spirit stone, 100 mid-grade spirit stones, and 1 low-grade spirit stone)

"Xiao Mo, do you have enough spirit stones?"

"That's enough, the immortal left me a lot."

"Hmm, if it's not enough, tell me."

Xiao Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Okay."

The two then photographed a few more spiritual plants. Although these plants were precious, they weren't particularly rare, so the prices were reasonable.

After settling the payment for the auctioned items, the staff thoughtfully gave him a spirit beast bag to put the little fox in. Since Xiao Mo didn't want to hold the little fox, he gladly accepted.

Xiao Mo traveled north without ever taking the little fox out of the spirit beast pouch...

Yunqi finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Why don't you let the little fox out for some fresh air?"

Xiao Mo: "The spirit beast pouch has a lot of space, so there's no need to take it out to breathe."

Yunqi: "...You don't like this little fox?"

That shouldn't be the case. She's the female lead, how could the male lead not like her?

Xiao Mo said definitively, "I don't like it!"

What do we do?! The male lead doesn't like the female lead?! Xiao Qi, what do we do?!

Xiaoqi: Don't panic! Whether the male and female leads fall in love or not is none of our business. We just need to finish the story of the remnant soul.

Yunqi: ...Fine. Then I won't care whether they're dating or not.

Yunqi said to Xiao Mo, "Let the fox out."

The little white fox curled up as soon as it appeared, and Xiao Mo just watched it without paying any attention.
