Qin Xiyao looked at the long-eared hedgehog with gray and white fur, which had died with its head drooping, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Before Qin Xiyao could react, the viper cleaned up the longevity fruit and the fireball that came out of its mouth flew directly towards the long-eared hedgehog.

After the body of the long-eared hedgehog was ignited by the fireball, it instantly burned. After two quarters of an hour, the body of the long-eared hedgehog turned into ashes, and a light green wood-attribute spirit core lay in the ashes.

A spirit core is a unique item left after a spirit pet's body turns to ashes. If a spirit pet with the same or mutually beneficial spiritual root attributes eats it, its cultivation level will be improved accordingly, which is equivalent to adding the other party's cultivation level to its own.

The spirit core changes into different colors according to the spiritual root attributes of different spirit pets, and the color depth of the spirit core reflects the level of cultivation of the spirit pet. The darker the color, the higher the cultivation level of the spirit pet.

For example, after the body of the long-eared hedgehog turned into ashes, its spirit core was light green. Its color was very light, indicating that the long-eared hedgehog's cultivation was not high and it was in the Qi Refining stage.

According to the five elements, the colors of the spiritual roots are: gold white, wood green, water black, fire red, and earth yellow;

The four spiritual roots are divided into three colors: wind transparent color, snow white blue, thunder blue purple, electric yellow green, and the mutated spiritual roots are ice blue transparent color and dark black transparent color.

It can be seen that the light green spiritual core of the long-eared hedgehog belongs to a single wood-attribute spiritual root. Although its color is light, its purity is very high, indicating that the long-eared hedgehog is a hedgehog with a top-grade wood-attribute spiritual root.

In front of Qin Xiyao, the viper did not dare to keep the spirit core to itself and had to hand it over with great reluctance.

Qin Xiyao was curious about the spirit core she had seen for the first time. She was just about to pick up the light green spirit core from the ashes and study it with her Nine Lights Purple Eyes when she heard a middle-aged woman's voice from outside the cave:

"Little Daoist friend! Isn't it inappropriate to hide in the cave and take the spirit core?"

The voice was not loud, but it was full of energy!

Qin Xiyao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged female Taoist priest in white silk clothes, holding a whisk, blocking the exit of the cave. Her face was as cold as the weather in December, and it was obvious that she was here to cause trouble.

But since Qin Xiyao came to Baicao Valley, it seems that she has never had any conflicts with the female Taoist priest!

Seeing that the other party had ill intentions, Qin Xiyao wanted to use her Nine-Light Purple Pupils to use her spiritual sense to investigate the other party's cultivation level, but the female Taoist priest refused to let her see and kept interfering with her spiritual sense.

Unable to find out the female Taoist priest's cultivation level, Qin Xiyao had to give up!

"Master! You are blocking the cave entrance and our way. If you have any requests or requests, please tell me directly."

"Where my young friend can serve the Taoist priest, it is my duty to do so!"

Just from the fact that the other party was interfering with her use of the Nine-Light Purple Pupil to check her cultivation level, Qin Xiyao knew that the female Taoist priest blocking the cave entrance had a higher level of cultivation than herself.

If the other party really comes to cause trouble, it will be difficult for her, the little white ape, and the viper to escape!

Therefore, in front of the female Taoist priest who was stronger than her, she would show weakness first.

If you can avoid danger with the lowest cost, it is worth it!

She wants the spirit core, just give it to her!

"Give me the light green spirit core!" the female Taoist priest ordered.

Qin Xiyao was just about to bend down to pick up the light green spirit core from the ashes and give it to the female Taoist priest when the viper rolled up a gust of wind, slid over, and swallowed the light green spirit core directly into its stomach.

"You!" The female Taoist priest's face turned pale instantly.

"Female Taoist priest! It's inappropriate for you to come to the cave without saying a word and steal the fruits of my labor, isn't it?" The viper said in the common language of the spirit pet world.

The little white ape next to her thought that the female Taoist priest didn't understand what the viper said, and was thinking of translating it to Qin Xiyao in ape language and asking Qin Xiyao to pass it on to the female Taoist priest.

Unexpectedly, the female Taoist priest said directly: "You poisoned my grandson and turned it into a spirit core. Is there anything wrong with me coming to take back my grandson's belongings?"

"Originally, I just wanted to retrieve my grandson's belongings, and that was it!"

"I didn't know that you, a beast, would seek death. It's not my fault!"

The female Taoist priest had a fierce look on her face, intending to kill the viper with one palm to avenge the long-eared hedgehog.

As one of the five great immortals, she had to have some martial ethics. After all, the long-eared hedgehog came to the viper cave to steal treasures, which was a mistake. Even if she wanted to protect him, she couldn't make trouble.

However, the viper ate the light green spirit core of her grandson, the long-eared hedgehog, out of spite, giving her an excuse to go on the expedition.

When the viper learned that the female Taoist priest blocking the cave entrance was the transformed Baixian, he began to feel afraid, but he remained stubborn and refused to give in.

"So you're an old hedgehog! You didn't educate your juniors well, and now that something's wrong, you're putting the blame on me. Doesn't that seem appropriate?"

"Could it be that you, an old hedgehog, taught all this?"

Now that it knew the true identity of the female Taoist priest, the viper wanted to drag her down and accuse her of poor upbringing, so that Bai Xian would be afraid and not dare to kill it in front of Qin Xiyao.

"Yes! If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father! If a grandson is not taught well, whose fault is it?"

The little white ape was worried that the viper would suffer, so he also started to act sarcastic.

If it was just a viper, Bai Xian would just find a reason to kill it!

Adding a little white ape to the mix, she began to hesitate.

The little white ape is the direct grandson of the immortal Tianji, and she dare not provoke him.

The immortal Tianji knows the art of immortality and has a high status in the immortal world. She can't afford to offend him!

At first, she wanted to become Tianji Immortal's disciple, but Tianji Immortal asked her to pass the test of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation he had set up first. However, she almost froze to death in the formation.

The Immortal Tianji was merciful and released her from the formation.

If she remembered this friendship, she would have to let the viper go!

The little white ape is the direct grandson of the immortal Tianji, so isn’t the long-eared hedgehog her direct grandson?
