Chapter 290:
Peeping into Destiny The dense branches were rustling as the strong wind swept through them.
The little fox turned into a streak of white light and quickly shuttled through the dense forest. Its four short legs kicked on the thick tree trunks, leaving deep pits.
Bai Donglin looked leisurely, his figure like a ghost, going in and out of the space, following closely behind the little fox.
After going around in circles for an entire hour and running for thousands of miles, the little fox finally stopped slowly.
Because of the intense and high-speed charge, the weak little fox was panting heavily. With the blood circulating at a high speed, water vapor was steaming around its body, and a faint strange fragrance was spreading.
"Is this it?"
Bai Donglin frowned slightly, and a huge amount of divine consciousness poured out, condensing into tough soul threads, which instantly spread to hundreds of thousands of miles away. With the place where he was standing as the center, a circular area with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was swept back and forth.
White light flowed in his eyes, and countless images flashed rapidly in his eyes. After a long time, he withdrew his magical power with nothing gained.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Bai Donglin stared at the little fox with his cold eyes.
“Oh my!”
"Wow, this is so scary. This human race is so scary..."
The little fox lay on the ground, covering its eyes with its two little paws, trembling, frightened by the breath that Bai Donglin had just emitted.
"Tsk, this is really troublesome, things really aren't that simple!"
Bai Donglin shook his head slightly and sat cross-legged on the ground casually. He had just carefully explored this piece of land and did not find anything special.
The land of Cangyu is fragmented and traversed by countless dense rivers. Most of the land is like isolated islands, distributed on the edge of Taihu Lake.
The isolated island of land beneath his feet was not very large, only about a million miles in radius. Under his vision and hearing, he could see everything except some areas isolated by the sect's restrictions.
The old fisherman was very mysterious, so it was no surprise that he could hide from his perception. However, the little girl he was looking for was just an ordinary mortal in the little fox's vague memory.
The range of activities should not be large, but there are no human beings within a thousand miles around here, only various ferocious monsters.
"A little girl with no cultivation is picking mushrooms alone in a dense forest full of monsters. It doesn't seem right at all."
“Oh my!”
Seeing that Bai Donglin didn't get angry, the little fox breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put down his paw, trotted to Bai Donglin, and looked up to explain.
"Haha, I know you didn't lie to me, otherwise I would have eaten you up in one bite."
Before the little fox met the little girl, he had not yet obtained the Tianluo Jade Card, otherwise there would not have been any need to go through so much trouble.
It was when the little fox recognized the Tianluo Jade Token as its master that Tianluo captured a fragment of the scene.
The little fox, who was not yet intelligent, met a little girl who was picking mushrooms by chance in the dense forest. They got along well with each other and played around. When they were tired, they lay on the grass. The little girl started chatting with the little fox and told her a story: 'The little girl said that she once went out to pick mushrooms and got lost on the way home. In a daze, she somehow came to a shore. Under the deep cliff was a rough blue lake.
An old man with a white beard was sitting cross-legged on the shore, holding a green fishing rod in his hand, and seemed to be fishing. The old man smiled and called her over, then asked her to borrow some mushrooms to make fish soup.
The fish looked really strange, with golden scales all over its body, a long and narrow body, two horns on its head, two long whiskers beside its mouth, and sharp claws under its belly.
The fish soup is so delicious! It warms me up!
From then on, whenever the little girl went out to pick mushrooms, she would probably meet the old man who was fishing. The old man was so nice that he would always treat her to delicious fish soup! '
This is the picture that Tianluo extracted from the vague memory of the little fox, and it is also the only clue about the dragon fish collected so far.
Bai Donglin did not doubt the truthfulness of what the little girl said. For a mortal child to be able to describe the physical characteristics of a dragon fish in detail, one could only know it by seeing it with one's own eyes.
There are powerful people everywhere in this world, so it is normal to have one or two with strange personalities. This old fisherman is very likely one of these reclusive masters.
"He has used dragon fish to stew mushroom soup more than once or twice. This old man is really amazing!"
This might be the only way for him to complete the trial mission. He needed to find out and meet the old fisherman.
“Oh my!”
The little fox stood up, stretched out its two little paws in front of Bai Donglin, its expression full of anticipation and its eyes sparkling.
"Tsk, little guy, you don't trust me at all? Can I lie to you?"
"Bing!"
Bai Donglin rolled his eyes, raised his hand and threw out a storage necklace, which was put directly around the little fox's neck. It contained one-tenth of a cube of spiritual liquid, enough to fill two hundred bottles.
It's just some of the lowest grade yellow-level inferior spiritual liquid, not worth much money.
The little fox probed into the necklace with his mind and saw a large ball of spiritual liquid. He somersaulted in excitement, took out some and swallowed it into his stomach. He squinted his eyes in comfort, his snow-white fur turned faintly red, and the strange fragrance emanating from his body became stronger and stronger.
“Oh my!”
The little fox bowed to Bai Donglin gratefully, turned around and walked away staggeringly, wanting to return to its den.
Bai Donglin's mind moved, a light appeared in his eyes, and he vaguely saw a trace of black air between the little fox's eyebrows.
He frowned slightly. This thing wasn't there before. It suddenly appeared after he gave the necklace to the little fox.
With a wave of his hand, the little fox was instantly caught back and placed on his knees.
"Hmm?"
The little fox looked up at Bai Donglin in confusion. The abundant energy of the spiritual liquid exploded in its body, making its consciousness a little confused.
"Little guy, you are lucky to have met a good man like me."
He gently stroked the little fox's soft snow-white fur, his eyes filled with contemplation.
"That's perfect. I'll use you to experiment with the new method I recently learned."
He flipped his hand and took out a piece of copper essence. Purple-gold flames emerged and melted it instantly. Under the control of his mind, the metal liquid eliminated impurities and slowly condensed into five copper coins with a round outer shape and a square inner shape. The copper coins were covered with mysterious runes.
"It's just a medium, there are no requirements for the style."
He raised his hand and took a hair from the little fox. Five copper coins were thrown into the air. The hair ignited without fire. A wisp of breath rose up and was captured and absorbed by the copper coins.

Bai Donglin's expression condensed, and he quickly made hand gestures. The Bagua Tai Chi diagram in the depths of his eyes rotated rapidly, and the five copper coin runes in the air shone and flew along a mysterious trajectory.
An inexplicable aura descended, and a blurry and distorted picture flashed through the mind.
'The little fox was lying in the stone nest, swallowing the spiritual liquid. The rich energy aura leaked out, attracting a pitch-black python. The python was much stronger than the little fox. The power of the inaction soul contained in the Tianluo Jade Plate was used to kill the python with one strike.'
'At the same time, a huge black shadow flashed across the Taihu Lake under the cliff, and the picture trembled and shattered, and stopped abruptly...'
Snap!
The copper coin fell to the ground, and Bai Donglin exhaled lightly. What was that black shadow? Even the Tianluo Jade Plate couldn't save the little fox's life.
"Little guy, you should stay with me for a while. It would be a pity if you died at such a young age."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black energy swirling between the little fox's eyebrows instantly dissipated, and his face became radiant again.
"Um?"
Bai Donglin narrowed his eyes, and a crack suddenly appeared on the three souls, and returned to its original state in a breath.
"What a powerful backlash!"
He knew that forcibly changing the little fox's predetermined fate would backfire, but the intensity of the impact was beyond his imagination. If it were anyone else, their soul would be so severely damaged that they would lose half their life.
He was just a white fox that had just awakened its intelligence. With his background, he shouldn't have suffered such a backlash.
Bai Donglin looked at the little fox lying on his lap in amazement. Could this little fellow have a future that would defy all expectations? This was the only explanation.
The little fox is expected to become a powerful figure in the future.
"Oh~"
The little fox, who had somehow saved his life, was unaware of anything. The fatigue from the long-distance run had set in, and he had taken a lot of spiritual liquid, so he fell into a drowsy sleep.
"Haha, this little guy is really brave. He's not afraid that I'm a bad guy."
Spiritual beasts are extremely sensitive to crisis and good and evil. The little fox felt kindness in Bai Donglin, so it trusted him so much.
Gently stroking the little fox, Bai Donglin looked thoughtful.
The little girl picking mushrooms seemed to be no simple person either. He still couldn't figure out where this little girl came from when there was no one living around here for thousands of miles.
The surrounding dense forests were indeed full of various kinds of mushrooms, and he also found some traces of picking, so this must be the place.
"There are no clues for other tasks yet. Well, let's wait here for a while. I want to see what kind of magic this little girl has."
"It must be not that simple to make the old fisherman treat you with dragon fish again and again, haha, a mortal girl?"
He raised his hand and slapped the ground. Several chains of laws surrounded by green light suddenly shot into the ground. The ground rolled violently, and thick trees rose from the ground.
They blended and grew with each other, and in just a moment, an exquisite attic stood in its place.
On the green wooden walls, countless runes are constantly flowing, providing all the functions of defense, isolation, and spirit gathering.
He nodded with satisfaction. The Law of Wood is quite useful, especially for building buildings.
Holding the sleeping little fox in his arms, he stepped inside. The door fell, a green light flashed, and the attic disappeared into the dense forest.
Before finding the little girl, he decided to practice here first.
