The demon beast lair Xu Chen generally won't touch it, compared to the spirit beast, the demon beast will be more fierce and brutal, for a few lumps of poop and the demon beast is either brain-dead or funny.

Therefore, Xu Chen generally wandered around the territory of several spirit beasts and fought in the jungle.

There are no high-level spirit beasts in a radius of thousands of miles near the mountain gate.

The canyon selected by Xu Chen is not far from the mountain gate, and there is a nest of spirit foxes living here, all of which are gathered in a grotto in the valley.

The grotto is very deep, it is said that it used to be a mine cave, there is a fork in it, the situation is more complicated, Xu Chen has been here a few times before, but it is generally not too deep, just go around near the entrance of the cave and pull a few pieces of feces and leave quickly, according to several senior brothers and sisters, one of the spirit foxes here is about to break through the second order, it is best not to provoke.

The reason why the spirit animal is a spirit beast is that it is actually open, and it generally does not provoke the fairy gate, everyone is adjacent to each other, and even sometimes helps humans who are in danger, so it will be worshiped and worshiped by mortals, and the folk are generally called demon fairies.

In addition, there is a range of spirit beasts, and there are generally no demon beasts, and all animals have a strong sense of territory.

Xu Chen staggered into the canyon, quietly landed a hundred feet away from the Spirit Fox Cave, and then gathered his breath and slowly approached the cave with careful observation.

Soon he felt near the entrance of the cave.

Surrounded by ancient vines and hanging pine trees, the entire canyon is almost invisible to the ceiling, and it is very quiet, except for the chirping of birds, there is hardly any sign of wild beasts.

After waiting for about half a pillar of incense, Xu Chen confirmed that a group of foxes had left home to forage for food, so he boldly walked to the door of the cave, and deliberately threw a stone into it just in case.

After walking about seven or eight zhang away, Xu Chen smelled a familiar smell, and was overjoyed, and after walking a few more steps, he found a few piles of feces in a corner of the stone wall, so he quickly took out a dung shovel from the back basket, quickly pulled it into the back basket, hesitated for a moment and slowly walked inside.

Normally, that's all he does.

However, today the third elder seems to be in a bad mood because of the poor medicinal materials, he still feels a little pressure, of course, he also feels a little guilty, after all, his contribution to the master is too little, he can go from a lonely orphan to an immortal master who is high in the eyes of mortals now, he is still very grateful to the Taiyuan Gate, and he has a strong sense of belonging.

If you had been bold and diligent in fertilizing when you had collected manure in the past, maybe you wouldn't have made the elders of the sect so anxious and worried.

Therefore, Xu Chen plucked up his courage and continued to walk inside.

After another two or three zhang, there were two forks in the road, here he had also secretly come twice, the left side led to the lair of a group of foxes, according to the ninth senior brother who gave him the task of collecting dung, it was unfathomable, there were more forks, and he was warned not to go in, and on the right was a dead end, and fox feces could sometimes be found inside.

So Xu Chen slowly walked into the fork on the right, there was almost no light here, if it was an ordinary mortal, he would be like a blind man if he didn't light a torch, but for Xu Chen, who had already practiced qi, although the cave was dim, he could still see clearly, because there was also divine consciousness assistance.

In addition to the cold and humid atmosphere accumulated all year round in the cave, there was a familiar smell of fox feces, Xu Chen was a little surprised and nervous, it seems that he should have gained a lot today.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance, a pile of scattered feces began to be seen on the ground, so he put down the back basket, picked up the dung shovel and began to quickly clean it up.

The hole is not deep, as long as there is dung. There is not much dung, but there is spirit.

For him, an old dung picker, a basket full of spirit beast manure can apply half an acre of medicinal fields, which is enough for medicinal materials to be absorbed well for a while.

Just when Xu Chen was full of joy and was picking up dung from east to west, he suddenly heard a roaring sound outside.

"Oops!"

Xu Chen, a spirit, quickly put away his divine sense and hid in a stone crevice, and he didn't even have time to take the basket away.

Sure enough, as soon as he hid, he saw a two-foot-sized fox running in with a gust of wind, and he didn't seem to notice that there was an extra back basket in the cave, just like Xu Chen's own on weekdays, and he began to as soon as he squatted on his hind legs, and at the same time kept humming.

Instantly, an even stronger stench permeated the entire cavern.

Xu Chen's face turned black and his heart beat wildly, staring at the fox and the back basket, covering his mouth and nose and not daring to make any sound.

This is just a half-pulled juvenile fox, it doesn't look big, but it can't be underestimated, once the ferocity erupts, he may not be able to escape with his whole body.

Right now, I'm in a fox cave, and my intentions are unknown, once I'm found fighting, I'll attract a whole litter of foxes, and it's a question of whether I can go back alive today.

But fortunately, this fox didn't have the slightest vigilance, and didn't find Xu Chen, not even the back basket next to him, and after a puff, it seemed to be a little prostration, and then ran out crookedly with small steps.

Xu Chen waited with bated breath for a moment, and found that there was no movement outside, so he immediately packed up and prepared to leave here, but before leaving, he saw a large pile of fresh feces that seemed to be steaming, and his sense of professionalism suddenly exploded, and his strong emotions overcame reason, so he still stopped to put this pile of freshly baked spirit fox feces into the back basket, and then carefully and quickly exited the fox's lair.

It wasn't until he ran out of half a mile in one breath that Xu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then threw out the flying sword and flew away, and at the same time, the vitality in the dantian was frantically poured into the flying sword as if he didn't want money, but in a tea time, he had already left the canyon range and was ten miles away.

Every time he picked up dung, it was like a robbery, which made him very depressed.

But in order to save his life and reduce trouble, he had to do it every time.

Falling on an open mountain, Xu Chen felt that the dantian was half empty again, and his anxiety broke out instantly, so he was ready to meditate and return to his breath.

Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, if you want to live forever, you must first not be able to die, and if you die immortals, you are not immortals, you are dead ghosts.

And he died in this barren mountain and wilderness, and there was not even a corpse to collect, and it would soon turn into a pile of animal dung.

Therefore, Xu Chen has always been more concerned about his own life.

In addition, foxes are not the same as other spirit beasts, not only smart, but also live in groups, there are more than ten in this family, and there is an old fox who is about to break through the second order, even if the senior brother in the middle of the True Yuan Realm is here under the group beating, I am afraid that he will have a blue nose and swollen face.

Therefore, Xu Chen generally does not come to the fox's den to pick up feces.

But just as he sat down cross-legged, he suddenly heard a piercing and sharp hiss in the direction of the canyon, and then the high and low cries converged, Xu Chen's scalp was numb in an instant, and he didn't hesitate to take out a small jade bottle from his pocket, pour out a gray-green pill the size of his finger, stuff it into his mouth and swallow it without looking at it, and then run the magic trick for a week, and when Xiao Yuan Dan's vitality turned into a rolling tide and poured into the dantian, he hurriedly sacrificed the flying sword, stepped up and flew away in the direction of the mountain gate.

Half an hour later, Xu Chen fell beside the medicine field in embarrassment, put away the flying sword, and then felt that his hands and feet were weak, and even the dantian was faintly tingling.

At this time, a precious small Yuan Dan has been exhausted, if the mountain gate is a little farther away, I am afraid that the dantian tendons and veins will be damaged.

But fortunately, although embarrassed, there was still a thrilling escape back.

Moreover, today he harvested a large basket of spirit fox dung, including a piece of freshly baked manure, which was the most abundant harvest in the past few years when he picked up dung, and it was also the most thrilling.

Of course, the loss was also the greatest, wasting a small Yuan Dan, almost a month's reserve.

After resting on the grass for a moment, Xu Chen got up and began to process the dung, first spreading the dried ones and mashing them with a wooden hoe, then adding some humus mixed together, and burying them in the soil around the herbs.

As for the freshly baked lump, he buried it all under one of the most precious rejuvenating trees in the garden.

After an hour, he finally finished fertilizing, then stripped naked and jumped into the small pool below the waterfall to wash himself before getting dressed again.

Although there are more than ten people in the Taiyuan Sect, in fact, it is not common for the elders and disciples to meet each other, everyone has their own affairs, either they are not cultivating, or they are drawing talismans in the alchemy refining device, or looking for heavenly and earthly treasures outside, or they simply go out to travel and practice together, in fact, less than half of them are in the mountain gate at the moment.

And Xu Chen is undoubtedly one of the long-term stayers, and he is also a junior brother.

Since he went up the mountain, Taiyuan Sect has not accepted apprentices for several years, and he has no goal of finding someone to pick up dung instead of him, and the hope of bullying the little junior brothers and sisters is even slimmer.

Xu Chen returned to his cabin halfway up the mountain, ate some food indiscriminately, and began to meditate and cultivate.

In the case of such a desperate shortage of pills, the only way to slowly accumulate one's own cultivation is to do so.

Of course, this also has the advantage of consolidating the foundation of cultivation and slowly honing and improving step by step, which will help you better appreciate the process of cultivation.

And every time he takes the pill, it is also a rare opportunity for him to cultivate, and he can feel the changes in his body more intuitively and violently, as well as the operation state of the vitality in the meridian dantian.

Time flies.

Early the next morning, Xu Chen didn't go out to pick up dung, and was about to go to the medicine garden to inspect and continue to cultivate, but he didn't expect to be surprised when he went to see it, nothing else changed, but he saw that the half-dead soul rejuvenation tree in the center actually grew two new branches overnight, and even sprouted an egg-sized bud each, and he could smell a strange fragrance that made the gods and souls intoxicated from a long distance.

Obediently, what's going on?

Xu Chen stood at the door of the medicine garden and watched for dozens of breaths, and then a spirit came back to his senses, and rushed to the soul restoration tree with a jump, staring at the newly grown branches and leaves and the two flower buds and began to drool.
