Lu Xuan probed with his divine sense.
It turned out to be a fox demon at the peak of Qi Refining, a three-tailed blue fox.
"Three-tailed blue fox!"
Ye Ningshuang, standing nearby, was shocked. "This creature is a renowned spirit fox in the cultivation world, one of the top ten spirit beasts! It can grow into a nine-tailed spirit fox, comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Lu Xuan shook his head upon hearing this. "Fellow Daoist Ye, look again carefully. Only its two tails are red! Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang suddenly realized:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are indeed more knowledgeable. That's right, this spirit fox is only fully grown when its tail turns completely red."
"Therefore, this spirit fox is only a two-tailed spirit fox! It is at the peak of Qi Refining, but it is not far from the Foundation Establishment realm!"
As far as Lu Xuan knew, when a spirit beast advanced to the Core Formation stage, it could give birth to a demon core, thus easily transforming into human form!
Like demonic beasts, spirit beasts need to reach the Nascent Soul stage to fully transform into human form.
"Isn't the Azure Fox clan from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?" Lu Xuan wondered. Legend has it that the Azure Fox clan has an ancient ancestral spirit, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox!
"Watch me, Fellow Daoist Ye," Lu Xuan said calmly, then produced a high-grade magic artifact bag called the [Qiankun Bag], which Lu Xuan had obtained by chance before.
This blue fox can be raised as a spirit beast.
Lu Xuan didn't want to miss out.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is indeed full of tricks up his sleeve. This superior-grade Qiankun Bag magic artifact is a top-tier magic artifact among superior-grade magic artifacts!"
Ye Ningshuang said with an envious look.
Even she, as a direct descendant of the Ye family, did not possess such a magical artifact.
At this moment, she became even more curious about Lu Xuan.
No wonder Murong Wan gave Lu Xuan 10,000 spirit stones. Although she may have had other motives, Lu Xuan's personal potential is also limitless.
"It's a pity that you only have five spiritual roots, making it difficult for you to establish your foundation. Otherwise, I could consider inviting you to join our Ye family and become a true disciple!"
Hearing Ye Ningshuang's serious words, Lu Xuan waved his hand and smiled, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you jest. Let's capture this Qi Refining Peak Green Fox first. This beast is already close to the Foundation Establishment stage, and it won't be easy to deal with. I might need your help to subdue this monster!"
“Okay, no problem!” Ye Ningshuang readily agreed.
"Go," Lu Xuan said in a low voice.
He summoned his superior-grade magic artifact, the Qiankun Bag, and instantly a powerful spiritual force enveloped the blue fox.
In the blink of an eye, the green fox demon was about to be taken into Lu Xuan's Qiankun bag.
At that very moment.
A sudden change occurred.
A gust of wind blew in; it turned out that the green fox demon had used its innate wind-controlling spell.
"Trying to escape? Impossible! Your innate magic is nothing to me!"
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he made a hand seal with one hand.
"The Gale and Rain Technique!"
Lu Xuan unleashed a Qi Refining Peak spell.
It instantly shattered the fox demon's magic.
Immediately afterwards, the little fox demon was taken into Lu Xuan's Qiankun Bag.
Set up the barrier.
This green fox demon can no longer escape.
"Let me out...you despicable human cultivators! I, Hu Yu'er, am a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain..."
"You can talk?" Lu Xuan and Ye Ningshuang were shocked.
"Of course, I, Hu Yu'er, am from the Spirit Fox lineage. I can speak human language at the peak of Qi Refining, and I can easily transform into human form at the Foundation Establishment stage! Release me now!"
Tsk tsk, no wonder he is a descendant of a true spirit.
However, how could Lu Xuan possibly let the other party go?
"Hu Yu'er, is it! Let me tell you, you devoured my good friend, the Azure Fish Demon. How are you going to compensate me? If not, you can become my spirit beast!"
"Don't even think about it! I am a noble descendant of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. You human cultivators are too despicable. We Nine-Tailed Spirit Foxes never serve as spirit beasts for human cultivators. Don't even think about it!"
"Is that so?" Lu Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to the other party for the time being.
Let's find the entrance to the secret vortex first.
There will be plenty of time later to subdue this spirit fox.
Hu Yu'er, inside the Qiankun bag, saw that Lu Xuan had no intention of releasing her, and instantly became furious, shouting loudly:
"Let me tell you, if you don't let me go, my elders and ancestors will come after you..."
Having blocked the sound from the Qiankun Bag, Lu Xuan and Ye Ningshuang continued their journey towards the lake.
"Water-avoidance technique!"
Ye Ningshuang and Lu Xuan simultaneously used their water-avoidance techniques and entered the lake.
"It's so cold in Lingyu Lake!" Ye Ningshuang was unprepared and shivered from the cold air of the lake.
Lu Xuan, however, was different.
He possesses a "Dry Yang Pearl" that can emit heat.
This was also left to him by his cheap master, Yuqingzi.
“It’s so good to have a master…” Lu Xuan sighed.
Ye Ningshuang, standing nearby, saw the treasure in Lu Xuan's hand and said enviously:
"Yes, I really wish I could be the personal disciple of the Tianhai Sect's leader, so I could possess a treasure like you. By the way, how is your master, Yuqingzi, doing these days?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's lips curled up and he said:
He's doing well!
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Ye Ningshuang had no idea that Yu Qingzi had already failed to possess Lu Xuan and his soul had been scattered. She said:
"I really wish I had a good master who could bestow treasures upon me!"
"It's alright, I have a Flame Talisman that I can give you to ward off the cold air from the lake!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, you're a good person!"
Lu Xuan's expression shifted slightly when he heard Ye Ningshuang's change in addressing him.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please don't overthink it! I just want to go to the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm, nothing else."
"I know we're not far from there." With the talisman Lu Xuan gave her, Ye Ningshuang was no longer afraid of the cold in the lake.
About three hours later.
The two finally arrived at their destination.
Before me was a huge blue vortex, completely empty.
However, strange noises could be heard emanating from the vortex from time to time.
"That's the sound of a tsunami!" Lu Xuan knew it was the sound of the waves crashing and roaring.
But how could the sound of the ocean possibly come from here, given how far away it is?
"Senior Brother Lu, are we sure we want to go in? I feel it's very dangerous inside!" Ye Ningshuang said, having second thoughts.
"Otherwise what? Now that we're here, are we going to turn back? I have to go into this vortex. Whether or not I can get to the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm, I have to try!" Lu Xuan said with unwavering determination.
