Without the incense offerings, Hu Yunrong's body was already at the end of its strength. This time, she used all her spiritual power to eliminate the impact of the plague on the villagers at the foot of the mountain. The plague subsided, but her body also completely collapsed.
The moment his immortal power was exhausted, Hu Yunrong turned back into a fox. His fur became dull and his pupils lost their luster.
Before he could say his final goodbye, Hu Yunrong lost his breath.
After Chen Yijin and Bei Shitao distributed the last medicinal herbs to the villagers and returned to the mountain, Hu Yunrong was already dead.
The fox stayed beside it, crying silently.
"It's not safe here anymore. Let's take its bones and find a place to hide first." Shen Yijin had no time to be sad. The people from the Meteorite Sect who were thinking about the fox fairy's bones might show up at any time. Before that, they had to hide Hu Yunrong's bones in a safe place.
As a fellow demon, the leader of the spirit cat clan was the first to sense Hu Yunrong's death. He rushed over and, upon hearing Shen Yijin's words, suggested, "Go hide with us. Our clan's location is special and blessed by the heavens, so it's difficult for outsiders to find us."
The civet cat clan and Hu Yunrong are old friends. Even if they can't do anything else, they can at least collect Hu Yunrong's body.
Chen Yijin accepted the suggestion of the civet cat leader. She collected Hu Yunrong's bones and followed the civet cat leader back to the civet cat tribe.
In the tribe, the civet cats were all saddened by the death of Hu Yunrong.
The clan leader found a place with the best sunlight in the clan and wanted Chen Yijin to bury Hu Yunrong there.
Shen Yijin put down Hu Yunrong's skeleton and dug a hole with Bei Shitao and the civet cats.
The pit has been dug and is ready for burial.
The leader of the spirit cat tribe looked at Hu Yunrong's skeleton and suddenly exclaimed, "Huh!" "It seems that there is still some of Hu Yunrong's soul on this skeleton!"
What!
Bei Shitao quickly threw away the shovel in her hand.
"Really? Is it possible to repair this part of the residual soul? What should we do?" Bei Shitao's eyes sparkled as she looked at the leader of the civet cat clan expectantly.
The leader of the spirit cat clan carefully studied Hu Yunrong's current situation and finally sighed deeply: "No, this remnant soul is too weak. Any method of nurturing it will cause it to dissipate, unless there is a common bloodline..."
However, Hu Yunrong's bloodline had long been cut off, and he had no relatives.
After hearing this, Bei Shitao quickly turned to look at Chen Yijin.
Shen Yijin suddenly realized that she finally knew why Bei Shitao had Hu Yunrong's bloodline.
Only in this way can Hu Yunrong's soul be nurtured.
"There is a way, but you need to separate a part of your soul." Shen Yijin said.
Bei Shitao didn't hesitate: "Same as before? I can do it!"
Shen Yijin: "Think it through carefully, this time it will be more painful than soul fusion."
Bei Shitao didn't say anything, but her determined eyes said it all.
Shen Yijin stepped forward silently and used her spiritual power to split Bei Shitao's soul. She found the part of the soul that had just been fused and split it again.
After getting the divided soul, Shen Yijin squatted down and merged it with Hu Yunrong's residual soul, and then split it into two.
Chen Yijin merged half of it with Bei Shitao's soul again, letting Bei Shitao raise it with her own soul, and gave the remaining half to the leader of the spirit cat tribe.
"Afterwards, Bei Lanshan will come find you. Give him this half soul, and he'll know what to do."
The leader of the civet cat tribe had no idea what Shen Yijin was doing, but he solemnly agreed to it.
Shen Yijin's gaze fell on Hu Yunrong's skeleton. Thinking of Bei Lanshan's character, he decided not to bury Hu Yunrong in the civet cat tribe's land anymore.
She picked up the skeleton again and said to the spirit cat leader, "Bei Lanshan is a man of character. If he knew you buried Hu Yunrong, he'd probably be angry. I'll hide it under a waterfall not far from the Fox Fairy Temple. If he comes looking for it, tell him it was me. He won't bother you."
After saying that, Shen Yijin flew to the waterfall holding the skeleton, leaving Bei Shitao and the fox in the civet cat tribe's land.
Fox looked at Shen Yijin's departing figure and finally understood one thing.
It turns out that it was not sealed by chance.
Hu Yunrong is the person closest to Bei Lanshan's heart, and it is the one who sent Hu Yunrong a death ultimatum.
Bei Lanshan must have hated it for indirectly causing Hu Yunrong's death, so when he met it later when it was still unaware of anything, he sealed it.
Shen Yijin buried Hu Yunrong's bones deep in the waterfall and sealed them with a formation. Only after doing all this did she return to the shore.
Chen Yijin didn't know whether the people from the Meteorite Sect had found Hu Yunrong's bones. Even if they had, she believed that Bei Lanshan would have taken them back.
She followed the same path back to the land of the spirit cats. On the way, she passed by the Fox Fairy Temple and found that the Fox Fairy Temple, which had been intact just now, had now turned into ruins.
It was the villagers of Qianfang Village who took the lead in destroying the Fox Fairy Temple.
"What the Immortal said is indeed true! It was this fox fairy who caused us to contract the disease! Now that the fox fairy is gone, our disease will be cured!"
"We shouldn't have built a fox temple for this harmful fox. Who knows how many people it has harmed in the past!"
"Perhaps the Sun family kid was harmed by it. This fox is no match for the immortal. With the immortal's protection in the future, our lives will definitely get better and better..."
The villagers left with a longing for the future, chatting and laughing.
Chen Yijin stood quietly in front of the Fox Fairy Temple, feeling deeply sorry for Hu Yunrong.
Hu Yunrong gave so much for the villagers, but in the end, the villagers thought that the plague was brought by it, mistaking it for an accomplice and a benefactor, and even destroyed the Fox Fairy Temple like this.
If Hu Yunrong knew the ending would be like this, she would definitely be heartbroken.
After Hu Yunrong's death, Shen Yijin thought they would go back a thousand years later, but after living in the spirit cat tribe for more than a month, her cultivation had been raised to the Nascent Soul stage, but there was no sign of going back a thousand years later.
Unable to return to the thousand years later, the fox was a little worried: "Will we never be able to go back?"
Although the environment was good a thousand years ago, if it had stayed here, it might have become an immortal soon. But there is another self here after all. If it is here, what should the self a thousand years ago do?
"It should be soon." Shen Yijin's fortune-telling ability improved along with her cultivation. She calculated that Bei Lanshan should be back soon.
Perhaps they would have to wait for Bei Lanshan to return before they could go back a thousand years.
Over the past month, the villagers at the foot of the mountain have long forgotten the fox fairy temple and the fox fairy on the mountain. The fairy has completely become the spiritual pillar of the villagers.
The Meteorite Sect failed to take away Hu Yunrong's bones, and no one knows what they will do next.
Shen Yijin guessed that they would get the answer to this matter after they returned a thousand years later.
The two men and the fox stayed in the civet cat tribe's territory for another half a month.
Early one morning, the little civet cat suddenly came to inform them that Bei Lanshan had returned.
