It's been half a year since I left home in Coldwater City.

But for Ye Xuan, he is currently facing a very important reason.

In the more than three months since the border of the White Jade Dynasty, even if Ye Xuan did not deliberately run the "Mountains and Rivers Jue" to absorb the aura, one of the biggest features of this technique is that it will operate automatically, and under the traction of the dragon soul, the amount of aura absorbed is much more than before. Although the dragon soul will divide some aura, and Ye Xuan will also use all the aura inhaled into his body to cultivate the "Gluttonous Yun Divine Method", but once the aura enters the body, it will still play some role more or less, even if this unconscious self-improvement speed is slow, it can't add up to the accumulation.

Ye Xuan now has a faint feeling that he is about to break through to the upper rank.

This is his biggest trouble.

The dragon soul gradually became stronger, and the result was that his sense of aura became clearer and clearer. In the same way, the dragon soul's ability to express itself in thinking and emotions is also getting stronger and stronger, if it used to be able to only show simple emotions such as happiness and anger, then now it can clearly express what it wants and what it hates, and it will even take the initiative to connect with Ye Xuan's soul.

Of course, most of the time, Ye Xuan didn't know what the strange meanings it expressed after it had a connection with his soul.

This kind of helpless communication is really a kind of trouble for Ye Xuan. And what bothered him even more was that no matter how desperately he tried to use all his aura to feed the "Gluttonous Yun Divine Method", the liquid in that round tripod was only a thin layer so far, and he didn't know how long it would take to fill the entire round tripod.

However, through his observation during this time, Ye Xuan also discovered a problem, that is, the amount of "Gluttonous Yun Divine Method" directly devouring other people's divine consciousness increased much more than the amount converted by absorbing spiritual energy.

However, the Divine Consciousness is not so easy to find, it is the soul of the cultivator, and the loss of a large amount of Divine Consciousness will cause irreparable damage to a cultivator, which is no different from killing the other party. Ye Xuan was also able to devour a trace of Qi Jun and the disciple of the Blood Demon Sect last time because of a relatively special reason, so he was able to successfully practice the first weight of the opening heavens, otherwise he didn't know how long it would take to practice this first weight.

While thinking about the exercises he was currently mastering, he hurried to Yuanding Mountain.

The wind, food, rain and lodging that came over made Ye Xuan a little tired, except for some areas that could not be crossed at all, he almost chose to move forward in a straight line. But even if he stole a war horse from the White Jade Dynasty, he couldn't withstand his control like this, and he completely exhausted the war horse to death in less than half a month, but in this way, Ye Xuan felt that he had a legitimate reason to take the mountain road.

Holding the branches, Ye Xuan sat by the fire, rummaging the sparks in the fire.

This is an unnamed mountain located at the junction of Qingyuan Province and Qingping Province.

Ye Xuan had only arrived here in the afternoon, as long as he had crossed this mountain, he would have entered the boundary of Shengguang Province.

It was not easy to light the bonfire, Ye Xuan took out the map he bought from Wang Yuanzhen while nibbling on dry food, and then looked at it carefully, he wanted to find a route that could reach Yuanding Mountain faster.

"Woo......"

Just as Ye Xuan was still looking through the map, a low whining sound reached Ye Xuan's ears.

Ever since Ye Xuan's "Gluttonous Yun Divine Method" had cultivated to the first level of the Open Heaven Realm, his divine sense could cover a radius of nine meters, and in this range, no matter how good a person's hiding technique was, as long as he was not a cultivator, he would not be able to hide from Ye Xuan's detection. Moreover, this kind of scan of the divine consciousness takes much less time than it takes to observe it with the naked eye, and it is almost a blink of an eye to completely explore the situation.

In addition to this, under the nourishment of some of the benefits provided by the dragon soul, Ye Xuan's six senses also reached an astonishing level. He could clearly hear the sound of insects chirping dozens of meters away, and even saw insect tracks on a leaf more than ten meters away, which were not necessarily possessed by an Innate Realm martial artist, but they appeared on Ye Xuan, an acquired martial artist.

Therefore, although the wailing sound just now was very low, it still allowed Ye Xuan to accurately judge the source of the sound.

Putting away the map, Ye Xuan got up and walked towards the sound source.

Perhaps it was because the sound of walking disturbed the other party, and there was a rapid sound from the source of the sound, although the sound was very slight, but for Ye Xuan, it was no different from yelling in his ear. However, as Ye Xuan gradually approached, the sound became softer and softer, and in the end, there was no sound at all.

It's a pity that Ye Xuan already knew where the sound came from the beginning, and when the sound stopped ringing, the source of the sound was already within the range of Ye Xuan's divine sense.

"Huh?" After scanning his divine sense, Ye Xuan let out a surprised sound, but the speed under his feet was much faster.

He hadn't gone far before Ye Xuan stopped by a tree.

The moon was bright tonight, and there were no dark clouds in the sky, so when the moonlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, it seemed to cover the ground with a layer of silver sand. On this ground paved like silver sand, the red blood stains were particularly dazzling, and the faint smell of blood continued to drill into Ye Xuan's nose, and there were several long marks on the messy ground, and it seemed that the rapid sound just now was the main reason for these marks.

At this moment, in Ye Xuan's sight, there was a fox whose right leg was caught by a beast.

This is a very beautiful fox.

The golden fur extends down from the back of the ears until it encloses two-thirds of its tail, and there is a ring of the same golden fluff on all four legs, which makes the fox look as if all four legs are on flames. Except for the golden yellow fur of these parts, the rest of the fox is snow-white, but this snow-white is not as white as the general pigment, and under the illumination of the moonlight, it faintly reflects a special luster of jade.

If it weren't for the fact that its right hind leg was caught by a beast trap and a deep wound that could be seen from the bone, and the blood ruined this beauty, perhaps the scene in front of it would have been a little more beautiful.

"Snow Jade Golden Retriever Fox. Ye Xuan chuckled, then squatted down and stroked the fox, "It turns out that he is still underage...... But how can there be such a fox here?"

The Snow Jade Golden Retrieved Fox is not an ordinary beast, but a very special spirit animal. As soon as they are born, they have already opened their spiritual intelligence, and they are fully equipped with the ability to devour spiritual energy cultivation, and with the gradual growth and improvement of their strength, they can swallow more and more spiritual energy at a time, and the improvement of their strength is not known how many times faster than that of humans or demons.

The adult snow jade golden retriever fox is nearly three meters tall, and the length of the tail is more than five meters, and its IQ is not far behind that of the wise people in humans. Of course, if it's just like this, it's not enough to be afraid, but the strength of the adult Snow Jade Golden Retrieved Fox is almost close to the human powerhouse of the Fourth and Fifth Realms of Immortality, even the newly grown Snow Jade Golden Retriever Fox has the strength of the First and Second Realms of Immortality, and with their cunning and special abilities and talents, cultivators who have just entered the Immortal Realm are not the opponents of the Snow Jade Golden Retrieved Fox at all.

In addition, to judge the strength of a snow jade golden fox, the most intuitive manifestation is to look at the number of their tails: a snow jade golden fox can metamorphose eight times in a lifetime, and each metamorphosis will grow an extra tail, when it has nine tails, even immortals dare not easily provoke. Of course, all this is only recorded in ancient books, but with these ancient books annihilated in the long river of history, there are not many people on the Tianyuan Continent who still recognize the Snow Jade Golden Fox.

Don't say that you recognize it, even if it's a rumor, I haven't heard anyone mention it.

Ye Xuan would recognize this snow jade golden fox, or thanks to the content of an ancient book he had read in the immortal mansion where he was competing for the secret treasure with Taiyi Sect before, coupled with the jade luster emitted by the light of the moonlight, Ye Xuan was able to affirm that the incredibly beautiful fox in front of him was the rumored snow jade golden fox.

According to ancient records, it is impossible for the Snow Jade Golden Fox to leave the nest until it is an adult, and they will be closely protected by the Snow Jade Golden Fox Population, and will not be allowed to leave the group until they reach adulthood and know how to transform into a species.

Because before they were minors, the IQ of the snow jade golden foxes was no different from that of three-year-old children, they didn't understand anything, they would only suck the aura of heaven and earth according to their instinctive consciousness, or eat the food sent by the elders of the clan. More often than not, they will play with other snow jade golden fox cubs in the group to cultivate their affection for each other, because according to tradition, snow jade golden fox cannot be combined with humans or demons even if it is transformed.

"Get up, don't play dead. Ye Xuan tapped the head of the snow jade golden fox, and said with some amusement.

One of the things that is far more useful than the naked eye is that the consciousness can easily tell whether a creature is dead or alive. Except for the use of special secret methods, no one could hide the scanning of the divine sense, so the little snow jade golden fox in front of him naturally couldn't hide Ye Xuan's exploration.

But with Ye Xuan's words, the snow jade golden haired fox did not make any movement, but still lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, which made Ye Xuan quite funny.

In the limited surname knowledge he only knows, although the IQ of the snow jade golden retriever fox is not low, it should not have such survival skills. After Ye Xuan carefully observed the traces on the ground, he came to a conclusion: the trails on the ground were obviously the traces left by the snow jade golden fox who wanted to drag the trap to escape, and with its ability, it naturally couldn't get rid of the trap, but with Ye Xuan's arrival, it chose to fake its death when it couldn't leave for the time being.

Hunters set traps to catch their prey, and their fur is very valuable, and creatures like foxes are very valuable. But even if you want to peel the skin, you have to open the trap again, maybe this snow jade golden fox is planning to leave the moment the trap is opened, and quickly escape.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan knew that this snow jade golden fox had probably been surviving alone on this mountain for a while.

It has learned a lot of skills for survival in the wild from the hunters and passers-by who come and go on this mountain.

At least this fake death is quite decently disguised, if it weren't for Ye Xuan's divine sense to help investigate, he would really be deceived by this snow jade golden fox.
