Just as Ye Ningshuang was about to step into the vortex, Lu Xuan suddenly stopped her, "Wait a minute, I obtained some secrets from the little fox demon!"
"Oh, what's going on!" Ye Ningshuang asked, puzzled. Could it be that the little fox they had just captured knew about the entrance to this secret realm?
Lu Xuan released the little fox Hu Yu'er: "Speak, what do you know? You just told me that this entrance is closed right now, what does that mean?"
Just now, the little fox sent a telepathic message to Lu Xuan, saying that if they went in now, they would all die.
"Why?" Lu Xuan asked Hu Yu'er.
The little fox landed on the ground, circled around Lu Xuan once, and blinked, saying:
"That's right, I've been into this Heavenly Capital Secret Realm several times already, and there are indeed many good things inside!"
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yu'er said:
"But if the timing is wrong, the place we enter will be different each time! If we go in now, we'll be teleported to a vast ocean! It's boundless, with no islands and no spiritual energy! There's absolutely no chance of survival!"
"How do you know so much? What's going on?" Lu Xuan realized that this little fox was no ordinary person.
A moment later, Hu Yu'er revealed some secrets.
It turns out that the Nine-Tailed Fox clan possesses innate supernatural abilities, including the skills to find treasures and detect danger. This is how Hu Yu'er learned the secret of the population of this secret realm.
According to Hu Yu'er, it has been staying here for several years and has entered the secret realm seven or eight times! Several times it encountered danger, but fortunately it was able to return here by relying on the talent of the spirit fox clan to avoid danger.
"Then why don't you stay in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?" Lu Xuan didn't understand why their Spirit Fox Clan didn't stay in the Demon Clan's territory and instead ran around in the Human Clan's territory.
"Hmph," Hu Yu'er said in a complaining tone.
"Isn't it all because of you human cultivators? Of course I didn't want to come out, but our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan disobeyed the Black Mountain Ancestor's orders and fought against you humans. So our Fox Clan had no choice but to scatter and leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!"
In other words, the Spirit Fox Clan was driven out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain by the Black Mountain Ancestor?
"Black Mountain Ancestor? What realm is he at? Even your Spirit Fox Clan is no match for him?" Lu Xuan pressed for an answer.
Hearing Lu Xuan's question, Hu Yu'er smiled wryly and said:
"Our Spirit Fox Clan's Great Elder is only at the peak of the Core Formation stage, while the Black Mountain Ancestor has been at the Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years!"
"Nascent Soul Realm? Then is this Black Mountain Ancestor the strongest demon cultivator in your Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?"
Hu Yu'er continued in her reply:
"Pretty much! The Black Mountain Ancestor is a wild boar in human form, with astonishing defensive capabilities! He can rival a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"So powerful?" Lu Xuan exclaimed in surprise, the Black Mountain Ancestor's strength was actually so great.
The human cultivation world in the Yunmeng Mountains is in danger this time!
With the strength of the Righteous Alliance, it won't be easy for them to face the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Ghost King Sect, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!
No wonder none of the nine righteous sects are a match for the Heavenly Demon Sect!
"Alright, then tell me, when can we safely enter the secret realm?"
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's question, Hu Yu'er answered without hesitation:
I said, "Can you let me go now?"
"No way! I already told you, the Azure Fish Demon is my good friend. If you eat it, then you'll have to become my spirit beast! It's not like it'll prevent you from cultivating!"
"You're lying to me..." Hu Yu'er didn't believe Lu Xuan's words at all, and said with a grin:
"I am an old acquaintance of the Green Fish Demon. It is not yet sentient, how could it possibly be your good friend? You are just making fun of me, Hu Yu'er..."
“Uh…” Lu Xuan said calmly:
"Little Hu Yu'er, what do you know? I've been in sync with that blue fish demon for a long time. I came here to have a good drink with it, and you actually devoured it!"
"Really?" Hu Yu'er was a naive and innocent little fox demon who believed Lu Xuan's words.
"Alright, then I'll be your spirit beast! It's a pity I've already digested that blue fish demon, otherwise I could have returned it to you..."
"You've already digested it, what's the point of giving it back to me? Forget it." Lu Xuan waved his hand, refusing the other party's kindness.
"Alright, let's head back to our cave! What about you, Fellow Daoist Ye Ningshuang?"
"I'm going back to the Ye family!"
Hu Yu'er said, "We can go in ten days!"
"Yes, congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu, on acquiring a spirit beast!"
...
After flying out of Lingyu Lake and parting ways with Ye Ningshuang.
Lu Xuan took the little fox demon back to Xiaonanshan, near Yunmeng City.
He then simply built a small cave dwelling there.
No need to pay spirit stones anymore.
Since Lu Xuan is currently at the peak of Qi Refining and cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment realm for the time being, he does not need the spiritual energy from the spiritual veins. Therefore, he no longer needs to rent a cave dwelling near the spiritual veins.
"Master, you are amazing! Your magic weapon, the Taiyi Sword, is so sharp! You opened up a cave dwelling so quickly!"
Hu Yu'er admired Lu Xuan's methods.
"It's nothing, just watch me set up a spirit beast room for you!"
Several rumbling sounds.
Lu Xuan successfully created a large spirit beast chamber.
"From now on, this spirit beast chamber belongs to you! I hope you advance to the Foundation Establishment realm soon!"
"Thank you, I will cultivate diligently!"
After doing all this, Lu Xuan arrived at the largest market for independent cultivators near Yunmeng City, the Misty Market.
"Fellow Daoist, would you like some miraculous elixir? It can grant you immortality on the spot!"
"Get out! You said you..." Lu Xuan shouted angrily.
The other party was just a small-time swindler at the third level of Qi Refining, and dared not provoke Lu Xuan at all.
"Senior, would you like a spirit beast? This is a descendant of a true spirit..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan looked around and saw another old conman walking over, carrying a small wild snake and swindling people.
"You say you're a descendant of a dragon? Give me a break." Lu Xuan sneered a few times before arriving at a spirit medicine pavilion.
"Are there any pills or rare treasures that can help you break through to the Foundation Establishment realm?"
Lu Xuan only came to the Misty Market to try his luck; what if he could find a treasure that would be useful to him? He currently has over 100,000 spirit stones in his storage bag.
The shopkeeper was an old man with a black beard, wearing a bronze crown, which made him look rather comical.
"A spiritual item for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm? Hmm, there are some, but they're quite expensive!"
"No problem, take it out and let me see." Lu Xuan said noncommittally.
Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came:
"Do you still have any ancient spiritual marrow here?"
The newcomer was none other than Murong Wan, a direct descendant of the Murong family, one of the three major families in Yunmeng City!
The shopkeeper was in a difficult position upon hearing this:
"This Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow is a supreme treasure that helps cultivators establish their foundation, but there's only one left. This fellow Daoist came first, so we can only give it to him." The shopkeeper was naturally referring to Lu Xuan.
When Murong Wan saw Lu Xuan, her eyes lit up. "So it's you, fellow Daoist! This ten-thousand-year-old spiritual marrow is too precious. I've searched all over the surrounding thousands of miles, and I've only heard of this place. I won't give it to you!"
Lu Xuan smiled faintly upon hearing Murong Wan's words:
"Fellow Daoist Murong Wan, have you lost your mind? Didn't you hear what the old shopkeeper just said, 'First come, first served'?"
