Over time, the spiritual energy in the cultivator's dantian accumulates more and more, and the cultivator's strength becomes stronger and stronger accordingly.
However, the cultivation of fairies is different. They usually spit out the inner elixir in their bodies, allowing it to be cleansed by spiritual energy and force out impurities. Or they bathe the inner elixir in the moonlight at night. When the inner elixir of a fairy is intact, it will automatically absorb external spiritual energy while forcing out impurities, making the inner elixir larger and more abundant with spiritual energy.
It can be said that all of a fairy's magical power is concentrated in the inner elixir in its body. The larger the inner elixir, the stronger the fairy's magical power. However, if the fairy's inner elixir is damaged, the spiritual energy inside will slowly leak out. When the inner elixir gradually shrinks and disappears, the fairy will die.
Hu Sanniang? This woman's name is Hu Sanniang?
Zhou Yuanyuan finally remembered that Hu Sanniang looked familiar to her because she had met her once before.
At that time, Zhao Yunxiang had just arrived in Kyoto not long ago. She thought that instead of staying at home every day listening to the military wives gossiping about their family matters, she might as well go out and find a job.
That day, Zhao Yunxiang took Zhou Yuanyuan and the other three children and wandered around the streets of Shilitun, the guard regiment's base, for most of the day, but she couldn't find anything suitable for her to do.
In a narrow alley, Zhao Yunxiang saw a tailor shop and stopped. Inside was a cheongsam that amazed Zhao Yunxiang. The owner was none other than Hu Sanniang. However, Hu Sanniang had been wearing a pair of reading glasses that day, but not today, so Zhou Yuanyuan didn't recognize her at first.
Seeing no one answer, Hu Sanniang felt a little apprehensive. However, having already encountered this rare opportunity, she was unwilling to let it slip. If the cultivator before her agreed to accept her as a slave, she could use the spiritual energy from the cultivator's practice to repair her broken inner core. In just a few minutes, Hu Sanniang, who was close to Zhou Yuanyuan, had already felt the surging spiritual energy. It was conceivable that this cultivator today was extremely powerful. If she followed such a master, she, Hu Sanniang, would be able to repair the cracks in her inner core in no time.
"Immortal, Sanniang is willing to be your slave. Please take me in." Hu Sanniang kowtowed heavily on the ground and continued to pray.
Immortal? Was Hu Sanniang talking about herself? Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Zhou Yuanyuan's voice was clear and pleasant, and Hu Sanniang could tell that she was a young woman.
Hu Sanniang's heart surged with ecstasy. If she hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have asked for recognition without even seeing the person. Even goblins had their own rules for accepting a monk as their master. For foxes like them, it was best to accept a master of the same sex.
Once a demon recognizes its master, its life and death are controlled by the master's whim. The Qingqiu fox clan's innate magical powers are illusion and enchantment. After the demon recognizes its master, Hu Sanniang's innate magical powers are ineffective against Zhou Yuanyuan. If Zhou Yuanyuan harbors ill will towards Hu Sanniang, she will not even have the power to resist and will surely die.
"What are you capable of? Why should I accept you?" Honestly, if she put herself in someone else's shoes, Zhou Yuanyuan certainly wouldn't want to be someone else's servant. In her mind, slavery was one of the dregs of feudal society. Seeing Hu Sanniang's pious demeanor in requesting a servant position, Zhou Yuanyuan found it somewhat odd.
Now, Hu Sanniang heard more clearly that the master she was about to worship was indeed a woman, and a young one at that. However, the age of a monk was always a secret. Even powerful monks who had lived for thousands of years looked very young. Everyone loves beauty. If possible, who would want to disgust themselves with a face full of wrinkles?
Hu Sanniang hadn't seen a single cultivator in the mortal world for hundreds of years. For unknown reasons, the cultivators had retreated to the deep mountains and forests, leaving them practically unseen in the mortal world. Zhou Yuanyuan was the only cultivator Hu Sanniang had encountered in those centuries. No, not the only one. The little girl she'd met in the alley that day had a spiritual aura about her. Could she also be a cultivator?
The image of Zhou Yuanyuan, half asleep, sprawled across Wen Ziqing's back, suddenly surfaced in Hu Sanniang's mind. That day, Hu Sanniang had harbored malicious intent. The demon race possessed a secret method that allowed them to devour the spiritual energy of cultivators to heal their wounds. However, few demons had dared to do so over the years. After all, devouring a cultivator's spiritual energy was a taboo in the world of cultivation. If Hu Sanniang had done so, she would have become a target of the entire world of cultivators.
When Zhou Yuanyuan and her group were wandering the streets of Shilitun, they were spotted by Hu Sanniang. Hu Sanniang created that illusion in order to confuse Zhou Yuanyuan and her group and obtain the spiritual energy she desperately needed from her.
However, at the last moment, Hu Sanniang finally withdrew. On the one hand, it was because Zhou Yuanyuan had freed herself from Hu Sanniang's deception and regained her clarity of mind. On the other hand, Hu Sanniang did not dare to risk such a huge outrage.
Almost, she, Hu Sanniang, abandoned her original intention and fell into the devil's way! Thinking of the fear of stopping at the brink of death, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but shake her head.
Zhou Yuanyuan had only been on the immortal path for a few months at that time, possessing only the third level of Qi Refining, and unable to control the release of her spiritual energy. To ordinary people, Zhou Yuanyuan was merely a little more delicate and lively than the average little girl. But in the eyes of Hu Sanniang, the fox demon, her true identity was exposed.
Zhou Yuanyuan's aptitude was astonishing. After several months of training, coupled with the incredible power of the Soul Forging Technique, her strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to a few months ago. Although Hu Sanniang couldn't see Zhou Yuanyuan, she could sense the tremendous spiritual power she had just cultivated. This was why Hu Sanniang hadn't connected the "expert" before her with the little girl from a few months ago.
Seeing Hu Sanniang shaking her head, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly felt unhappy. This Hu Sanniang didn't know anything. Could she have picked up a vixen and worshipped her? She still needed her parents to support her!
"I don't need a servant, go away!" Zhou Yuanyuan said lightly. She didn't want to pay any more attention to the vixen in front of her who obviously had a problem with her brain, so she stood up and prepared to leave.
If you are willing to be someone's slave, what else could it be but a mental problem?
"Immortal, please have mercy. If Sanniang cannot stay with you, she will die soon!" Hu Sanniang was horrified and kowtowed again. She said, "Immortal, Sanniang can sew clothes, cook, and tend to flowers and plants. As long as you keep her, I will serve you."
