Chapter 23: Fox Charm
There is no snow on Baicao Peak.
Xiao Bai sat by the lake, fishing with a bamboo pole, the elder's waist ribbon and a straight hook, hoping to have a good meal occasionally.
The wind is a bit noisy today.
Equally noisy were the discussions within the sect regarding the clan inspection ceremony and the incident of possession of a body in the menial servants' room.
But the fish in the lake were still as lifeless as usual and very indifferent to him.
Not far away, Senior Sister Mu Yun was busy planting herbs, pruning branches, and eliminating pests in the medicine garden.
The white silk of the bamboo membrane sank into the medicinal plant, and the water-green smoke shirt merged into the sea of flowers, leaving only a Taoist boy with a bun floating in the center of the sea of flowers, like a black flower.
This witch is serious and happy about farming...it doesn't seem like she's pretending at all.
"Senior Sister, your master is about to attend the clan inspection ceremony. Haven't you prepared your clothes yet?"
Mu Yun didn't even turn his head.
"The previous clothes have been burned. A mere mortal is not worthy of owning elders' clothes."
The fish ignored him for a long time, so Xiao Bai angrily broke the eighteenth fishing rod he had made by himself and turned to the medicine garden.
He squatted down in the sea of flowers and looked straight at Senior Sister Mu Yun's delicate snow-white forehead in order to appear approachable.
While fiddling with the center of the poison ivy flower, he asked curiously, "So, when I become a Qi cultivator, Senior Sister will do it for me?"
The round bun tilted.
"do what?"
"clothing."
"oh……"
Mu Yun then looked up and glanced at Xiao Bai.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but this guy has risen from the fifth level of fetal breathing to the ninth level...
Does having two days off a week help improve your cultivation so much?
What is the conspiracy of this old fox Yu Hu? We have to force him!
"If you can cultivate your Qi before the sect inspection ceremony, I will make clothes for you overnight."
Mu Yun said so.
When Xiao Bai heard this, he knew there was a chance for the second female lead!
He touched the bun on her head excitedly.
"If you do it well in advance and make it beautiful, Master will definitely be able to refine his Qi!"
After saying this, Xiao Bai flew out of the cliff swiftly.
There was a footprint on his face that smelled of soil.
From this we can see that senior sister’s leg skills are pretty good.
In time...
…
In the next two days, refining Qi was not as smooth as Xiao Bai had imagined.
During the weekend and the breakthrough, Xiao Bai encountered a huge chasm.
The former is difficult to cover with one hand, and the latter is difficult to overcome.
Even if Xiao Bai could absorb 100% of the nourishment from Elder Yuhu, refining Qi for ten days was not as easy as he imagined.
Although the elders had not yet taught Xiao Bai the art of medicine, Xiao Bai had gradually learned the basics through continuous exposure in the alchemy room.
The problem now is that when one makes the leap from the ninth level of fetal breathing to Qi refining, the accumulation is not linear according to the amount of spiritual power.
It requires enlightenment! It requires breaking down before building up! It requires great efforts to create miracles!
If Xiao Bai wants to refine his Qi quickly, the elder must use his demonic power to cure him, or use a poison drug on him.
An ultimate poison that destroys and reorganizes the Dantian.
Generally speaking, this kind of medicine is mostly taken by old monks who have no hope of breaking through normally and try to make it before they die.
It's basically a life-or-death situation and it's very easy to go astray.
The legendary foundation-building pill in the novels about cultivating immortals is probably of this type.
If Xiao Bai takes the Qi Refining Pill and directly dismembers it to absorb spiritual energy, he will not be able to upgrade.
If you use a complete Qi-refining elixir to break through, there is a risk of destroying your Dantian.
Although his Dantian was destroyed, he would not die, but there was no time to start practicing again, not to mention the risk of his body being taken over by the spinal Gu.
Xiao Bai felt that since it was very dangerous, it would be better to let the elder use his magic power to have a day off. At least he could have fun and truly enjoy the fox's gratitude.
…
The night before the clan inspection ceremony.
It was snowing heavily.
Xiao Bai decided to take a chance and risk his life.
In the alchemy room.
Elder Yuhu's alchemy process is as boring as the chemistry teacher's experiment, which makes people drowsy.
The flower-shaped red light flickered, swirling and swaying, casting crisscrossing fox shadows on the wall.
Xiao Bai, who was used to seeing something strange, was startled and suddenly pointed at the wall and said, "Elder, I think I saw a fox tail!"
"I have always been curious. Compared to the hard gray hair, is your white hair too soft?"
“…Could the elder be a fox demon?”
He really tried hard to act, but it's a pity that it still looks exaggerated.
But in Yuhu's eyes, it was so real that it could be mistaken for the fake.
The flickering fire created a shimmering glow on her face, which was as clear as water.
Yuhu picked up the teacup and smiled sweetly.
"you guess."
Let me guess? Xiao Bai likes playing this kind of house game the most? "It should be some kind of illusion to add interest."
He said seriously.
This guess is reasonable and logical.
"Wrong."
The jade pot gently shakes its jade head, and the tea mist is thick.
"Guess again."
Xiao Bai thought about it and decided to use his imagination.
"There must be a fox roasting in the furnace, casting its shadow on the wall."
The hand holding the tea was trembling slightly, Yu Hu looked slightly annoyed, and said in a deep voice:
"Give you one last chance to guess."
"I see!"
Xiao Bai suddenly realized and mustered up the courage to say:
"These shadows are actually spiritual graffiti, just like the shadow cards I played with when I was a kid. Different patterns appear when you look at them from different angles. As the saying goes, a mountain looks different from the front and from the side, and different heights and distances—"
Before he could finish his words, Yu Hu interrupted him with a cold voice.
"I am a fox demon."
Xiao Bai pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, and showed an incredible expression.
“Is this true or false?”
Yuhu nodded slightly.
Anyway, Xiao Bai's memory will be erased after sleeping, so there is no psychological pressure to admit it frankly.
"The reason why they are lurking in the Xueyan Sect is because the Xueyan Sect has been the land of the demon race since ancient times. The Demon Alliance needs to use this opportunity to attack the sect and take down the Cambrian Kingdom in one fell swoop."
You even told me your hidden target... You really don't treat me as an outsider!
Xiao Bai continued to pretend to be confused:
"Really? I don't believe it."
Yu Hu took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Whether you believe it or not, it won't affect anything."
Damn, this witch's words are so hurtful! Xiao Bai argued:
"But the elder has no demonic power at all. You say you are a demon, but I am still a devil!"
Before he could finish his words, a snow-white fox tail wrapped around his waist and lifted him into the air.
Yuhu held the teacup gracefully, and in the misty tea fog, the fluttering nine-tailed dragonfly looked like a peacock spreading its tail.
"You want to provoke me to help you refine your Qi, right?"
