"Yes, Master, I have inherited memories; I am indeed a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox."
"I don't know why I'm in these mountains. As far back as I can remember, this has been my home." The little fox's voice was sweet and childlike, and it sounded especially adorable.
"How long have you lived here?" Jian Ning asked again.
"It's been over a thousand years. The environment here used to be so beautiful. There's a valley over there where it's spring all year round. My home is there. Master, I can take you there to see it."
After the little fox finished speaking, it suddenly jumped off Jian Ning's hand. It ran forward a few steps quickly, then stopped and looked back at Jian Ning.
To be able to live for thousands of years in this ordinary world, a place where spiritual energy is not yet abundant, that takes real skill. Jian Ning called out to Huang Fugui and Bawang, following behind the little fox.
The route was very well hidden; if it weren't for the fox leading the way, Jian Ning probably would never have found this place.
There is a separate space behind two large trees.
The little fox pressed a spot on the fork in the tree, and the space suddenly appeared. No wonder Huang Fugui couldn't find the little fox's location these past two days; it turned out there was an array concealing it.
Stepping inside, I discovered it was a completely different world from the outside. The valley was filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs. Even the birds flying in the sky were spirit beasts. The spiritual energy in the air was incredibly rich.
"Master, this is my home. The Resurrection Fruit grows inside; there are three or four more. If you want, I can pick them for you."
"Okay," Jian Ning replied without being polite. This Resurrection Fruit was quite useful to her.
Because besides being effective against spirit beasts, this fruit also grants humans immunity to all poisons. If she were to eat one, the poison from the fourth level would have absolutely no effect on her.
As long as she can resist the poison gas, everything else should be fine. She's not afraid of a fight, after all, she's almost at the Golden Core stage.
Upon hearing Jian Ning's words, the little fox vanished in a flash. A short while later, it returned with a twig in its mouth, from which four blue, jewel-like fruits were attached. It presented this treasure to Jian Ning.
"Master, I've kept one more. You can have all of these."
"Thank you." Jian Ning accepted the fruit; she hadn't taken it for nothing. She then took a roast chicken from her spatial storage and handed it to the little fox.
She jumped up excitedly, grabbed a roast chicken, and made a gurgling sound. She watched Huang Fugui and Ba Wang warily from the side.
"Eat up, they won't steal your food. This is your reward." Jian Ning patted the little fox's head.
Huang Fugui rolled his eyes like a petty person.
"Who do you think you are? It's just a roast chicken, we won't fight you for it, you're so petty. Master, how about I and Bawang each have one of these fruits?" He leaned over, his mouth practically watering.
Seeing how greedy it looked, Jian Ning smiled and picked a fruit, tossing it to it.
Huang Fugui tilted his head back and ate it, instantly appearing as if he had drunk too much; his white fur even glowed with a pale blue light. Then he swayed a few times and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
But this startled Jian Ning. Could this fruit be poisonous? She wasn't mistaken; the Resurrection Fruit in the illustrated guide she had seen before looked exactly like this.
He quickly went over and picked up Huang Fugui, finding that its breathing was even and its heart was beating exceptionally strongly. Its spiritual energy was steadily increasing, which put his mind at ease.
He gave the Overlord another fruit, and after watching him eat it, he immediately lay down on the ground. Worried about safety, he took both the Overlord and Huang Fugui into his immortal abode. Then, he smiled and said to the little fox.
"I'm going back now. Are you coming with me, or staying here?"
The little fox had already eaten most of the roast chicken. After hearing Jian Ning's words, it licked its lips without any hesitation.
“Master, this is my home. I don’t want to leave. You can take it with you. I will stay in this valley and can see you anytime.”
"You mean, this space can be moved?" Jian Ning looked around but couldn't find a way to collect it.
The little fox smiled slightly: "Master, please come with me."
Jian Ning followed it all the way to the middle of the valley, only to discover that there was a bamboo house there.
It was built by the water. Upon entering, the house was completely empty, but there was something that looked like a glass bead embedded in the wall of the bamboo building.
“Master, after you refine it, you can put this valley away. From now on, I can stay with you.”
Jian Ning walked over and placed her hand on the glass bead, beginning to refine it with her internal energy. More than two hours later, she opened her eyes, understanding dawning on her.
The valley controlled by this glass bead is a space similar to a celestial abode, a secret realm created by a powerful being in the Mahayana stage using a spatial rift.
Although much smaller in area compared to a celestial abode, this place is rich in spiritual energy, has a dragon vein at the bottom of the valley, a small spirit stone mine, and a considerable amount of medicinal herbs, all thousands of years old. It can be considered quite resource-rich.
With a thought, the entire valley vanished instantly. She placed it on a mountain within her immortal abode, where it was set like a bright pearl.
As for Huang Fugui and Bawang, they reappeared in the snow outside. Judging by the sun in the sky, it must be noon. Jian Ning waved her hand, taking them both into her immortal abode. Then she flew down the mountain on her sword.
When I got home, I went to Xiao Lingfeng's yard first. The tiles on the living room floor had already been laid. Uncle Li was laying the bedroom floor with Xiao Lingfeng.
Dazhuang was helping to transport cement, and all three of them were covered in dust and dirt.
Seeing Jian Ning enter, Xiao Lingfeng looked up at her and smiled, "You're back? See how fast we came?"
"It's pretty fast. The color of these floor tiles looks nice, and the room is much brighter now. Is there anything I can help with?" Jian Ning took two steps inside, but Xiao Lingfeng chased her out.
"We don't need you here. The house is all dusty. You should go back and rest for a bit. Or I'll make you something nice for lunch, but not seafood."
Perhaps because he had spent so much time in the ocean recently, after eating seafood yesterday, Xiao Lingfeng felt that he wouldn't want to eat it for the next six months.
“Okay, beef and mutton, right? Then let’s have hot pot. It’ll be warm and comforting on this cold day. I’ll go find Aunt Wang and the others to wash the vegetables now.” Jian Ning became excited as soon as food was mentioned.
The moment she stepped out of the house, she was carrying several large bags, filled not only with beef and mutton, but also with sliced black-boned chicken, various hot pot meatballs, vegetables, and seasonings. She took out a lot of anything from her storage space that could be used for hot pot.
