Chapter 8: Baby
Li Xuetian returned to the wooden house, which was poorly decorated, except for the low table in front of the old man, only seven paintings hung on the four walls. Each painting is a different scene – ice fields, dust, waves, thunder, flames, sun, night. He didn't know how to draw, so he looked at it casually and then shifted his gaze to the low table.
On the table was a wooden box with a thumb-sized cobblestone next to it. He put the cobblestone in the palm of his hand and looked at it for a long time, not knowing what it was for, so he didn't plan to care about it anymore.
In comparison, the contents of the box interested him more, maybe the fox wanted him to find the mental method inside.
The box was not locked, and Li Xuetian easily opened it, and there was only a small pale yellow ball inside. He twisted the ball and found that under the transparent shell, there was a yellow mist wrapped in it, and the mist swirled as if it were alive.
The yellow mist seemed to detect his vision, and two dark yellow points of light emerged, like a pair of eyes slowly opening.
"Huh?" Li Xuetian let out an exclamation, not expecting it to really have life.
The yellow mist didn't flow anymore, just stared at him intently, one person and one mist staring at each other like this. However, in the next second, the transparent shell that enveloped the mist was swallowed up by it. It floated in the air, looking at him.
"Uh, little one, you're ......"
Before Li Xuetian could finish speaking, the yellow mist swished through his eyebrows and disappeared. The sudden change stunned him, and he stood still and didn't dare to move, not knowing what would happen next.
After waiting for a while, nothing abnormal happened, and Li Xuetian comforted himself that it might just be an illusion just now, or that the fog just disappeared into the air. He rubbed his eyes and continued to check if there was anything else in the box, but unfortunately there was nothing else in the box.
He was a little disappointed, his mind was not in the box, so where would the old gentleman put it? By the way, it must be on his body, Li Xuetian thought to himself.
"Offended, old man!"
Li Xuetian said softly and bowed to the old man.
He was about to search for the things on the old man's body, but he didn't expect that the moment his fingers touched him, the old man's body instantly turned into dust and disappeared.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Li Xuetian took two steps back, full of apologies in his heart, just break into other people's houses to get things without permission, and at this time he still confiscated other people's bodies, which is too unkind.
After the old man's body dissipated, a white crystal was left in the air, which was crystal bright and beautiful.
Driven by curiosity, he caught it with his hand, but he didn't expect the crystal to melt into the palm of his hand the moment it fell into his hand.
"Why are there so many strange things today!" Li Xuetian said with a frown. In the next moment, his consciousness was pulled into an unfamiliar space.
There are many objects floating in this space, wrapped in some faint circles of light, like colored ball bubbles that I played with when I was a child. He reached out and grabbed one, and consciousness withdrew.
Li Xuetian raised his left hand, and what he was holding in his hand was a bag of things he had taken out of the space just now, and when he opened it, he found that it was some unknown scales.
"It's weird!"
He felt like his head wasn't running out now, and everything had been inexplicable since he entered the room. He's going to go out and ask the fox what the hell is going on.
......
"The white crystal you are talking about should be the 'Rift Crystal', which can open a gap between heaven and earth and open up an independent space, which is generally used by cultivators to store things. After listening to Li Xuetian's doubts, the fox explained to him, "As for usage, my grandfather told me that after binding with the Rift Crystal, as long as you separate a little consciousness, you can take the items in the space at will, you can try again." ”
Listening to the fox's explanation, he understood a little, and listened to its words and divided his consciousness into the storage space. This method was much more convenient than just when his entire consciousness sank into it, and he would no longer stay in place like a log, and it would be more convenient to take things.
"Hurry up and help me find out if the Three-Life Mind Method is not in it!" the fox urged.
Li Xuetian searched for a long time but didn't find it, firstly, because he was not proficient enough to grasp the Rift Crystal, and secondly, there were too many things in the space.
"Well, I'll take out all the things and look for them together. ”
As his thoughts flowed, the items in the storage space were placed in the open space one by one, and soon the entire open space was filled.
Seeing so many things on the ground, although it was not clear what they were for, the fox's eyes were already starting to glow. The old gentleman has returned to the world, most of the mundane things have been abandoned, and the storage space must be carrying some rare treasures.
"I want half!" the fox flicked his tail and said to Li Xuetian.
"No!" the fox jumped in front of him, baring his teeth, "I brought you, and I want three-quarters!"
When Li Xuetian saw the fox like this, he was angry and laughed in his heart, he didn't think much about these things, otherwise he wouldn't have taken them all out and put them in front of him.
"It's okay to take it all you want, it's not mine. ”
"Really?"
Li Xuetian nodded.
"You dare to talk like that, because you don't know how important resources are to a cultivator!"
"After all, I'm not a qualified cultivator yet. ”
When the fox saw that he had no intention of fighting, he felt a little ashamed, and his ears drooped. It just treated Li Xuetian with such a posture, and it seemed too greedy.
"Actually, my rift crystal can't hold too much...... fox said weakly, "and it's hard to take half of it." ”
The fox took a step back, its rift crystal was begged for by the old gentleman, and the quality was naturally not bad, not to mention these things on the ground, even if it was twice as much, it could be stuffed.
"Okay, let's find the "Three Lives Mind Method"!" Li Xuetian smiled at the fox, he didn't really get angry with it about this matter.
Next, Li Xuetian and the fox fumbled in the pile of items for a while, and the sky gradually darkened.
"I've found it!" exclaimed the fox excitedly as he opened a box, "and it was not in vain for my hard work!"
In addition to the three bone fragments that carry the heart method, there is also a lingering stone in the box. The fox activates the Shadow Stone, and the apparition of the old man appears.
"I know you're not reconciled, little fox. The phantom shook his head with a smile and sighed, "But after all, I still can't bear to ruin your cultivation path, since you have found the complete "Three Lives Heart Method", then I wish you a good future." ”
After the phantom disappeared, the fox's expression was gloomy, although the old man was quite prejudiced against the identity of the demon, he had undoubtedly treated it as a relative. The old man could have ruined this mental method, but in the end he chose to keep it for him.
After obtaining the "Three Lives Heart Method", the fox took half of the treasures on the ground as agreed, and it can now be said that it became rich overnight, and soon swept away its sad mood and became happy.
