This night, the old man said a lot and talked for a long time, but the subsequent conversation no longer involved the content of the fox fairy forest, it was all some anecdotes and cultivation experiences from his youth, and he also focused on explaining some of the concerns of the forging period and the demon pill period for Ah Li.

Ah Li knew that Grandpa Yu didn't want to talk about the Fox Fairy Forest anymore, so he obediently lay on the floor and listened carefully to the old man's story.

Finally, the old man felt a little tired, he sealed the mouth of the red clay stove, leaving only a small crack, so that the coals inside burned slowly, and the red clay stove exuded a trace of warmth in the autumn night, warming this small bamboo building that was ventilated everywhere.

Then the old man gave up half of the animal skin and let Ah Li lie up.

After saying goodnight to each other, after a while, the old man let out an even breathing sound, it seems that he is really a little tired today.

Ah Li didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, Grandpa Yu's words tonight shocked her too much, the current fox fairy forest is no longer the simple, happy fox fairy forest, Ah Li has a feeling of suddenly losing his home, and he can't accept this fact for a while.

After the old man fell asleep, Ah Li quietly called Tianhuo in his heart, and after hearing Tianhuo's response, Ah Li condensed the power of his soul and soon returned to the stone platform.

When Ah Li's soul body returned to the stone platform, the old man seemed to be aware of it, opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at Ah Li, and closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Before Tianhuo came to the Fox Fairy Forest, he repeatedly agreed with Ah Li that he could not tell anyone about the mysterious stone platform, although Ah Li felt that Grandpa Yu could be fully trusted, but in the end he kept his promise and did not mention the mysterious stone platform to Grandpa Yu.

Ah Li returned to the stone platform and saw Tianhuo sitting on the stone platform looking at the sky in a daze, recently with the condensation and improvement of the soul body, the silhouette of Tianhuo appeared clearer and more handsome.

Ah Li looked at the silhouette of Tianhuo, remembered Grandpa Yu's words, only to feel a red face, coughed and asked, "Tianhuo, haven't you rested yet?"

Tianhuo turned his head sideways and glanced at Ah Li strangely: "I am a soul body, there is enough spiritual power here, and I can also improve my understanding, and we haven't fled for more than a day, how can we be tired?" ”

Ah Li is actually looking for something to say, she is afraid that Tianhuo will be embarrassed, so she doesn't talk to her, and now she sees that Tianhuo still has the usual attitude towards her, and immediately relaxes:

"Tianhuo, don't always cultivate, Grandpa Yu also said, things must be reversed, you should stop and slow down after cultivating for a while, otherwise if you don't adjust your long-term cultivation, there is a risk of going mad." You just have nothing to do, help me think about what pills and spirit herbs are suitable for handing over to the clan tomorrow?"

Tianhuo nodded and said, "Well, your grandfather Yu is right, Mingzhe's self-preservation is the most important." I have already given you the elixir on your body, and I didn't have the right to speak, but since you asked, then I still hope that you don't waste it casually, the key is that I am afraid that your generosity will bring unexpected disasters to yourself. ”

Ah Li saw that Tianhuo also said so seriously, he dispelled the initial idea of wanting to leave only a small part of the pill, and asked, "Tianhuo, what do you say?"

"First of all, put everything on a plate, and if you can't take it out, you can't reveal a little news. Other worthless things can be generous, after all, you still need to live in the Fox Fairy Forest for a long time. ”

Ah Li and Tianhuo began to count the items on their bodies according to their value.

Millennial Rouzhi, a six-grade upper-grade elixir, can be used as the main medicine to refine the special seven-grade pill for the god stage, or for the Yuan infant stage to use three parts of eighteen pills;

Three-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, four-grade middle-grade elixir, can refine six fourth-grade middle-grade elixirs, and directly swallow only two fourth-grade middle-grade elixirs;

Two Zhuji Dan, three high-grade pills, suitable for the human race to build the foundation, the demon clan condenses the demon pill when breaking the level, because the main drug production is scarce, the refining difficulty is relatively large, so the quantity is small, and the price is often equivalent to the four-grade middle-grade pill;

Pei Yuan Dan, a three-grade intermediate pill, suitable for monks in the bone quenching period (Qi training period), two bottles and three pills, six pills per bottle, a total of fifteen pills;

Gubendan, a second-grade high-grade elixir, suitable for monks in the forging period (Ronghai period), one bottle of zero four pills, a total of ten pills;

Juling Pill, a pill, suitable for monks in the Tongzhi period (Tuomai period), 12 bottles, a total of 72 pills;

Eleven one-time magic weapons, each blow is equivalent to the full force of a monk in the third layer of Qi training (quenching bronze bone stage);

Hundreds of spells, each with a power equivalent to the full force of the Forging Body Nine Turns Demon Cultivator, winning in a large number;

There are also more than a dozen dim sum and dishes full of aura;

There are also some divine talismans, gold and silver things, and bits and pieces, and Tianhuo and Ah Li have no statistics.

When the statistics came out, Ah Li also felt that his eyes lit up, he didn't expect that he had so much property, just like a demon cultivator little rich woman.

Ah Li asked excitedly: "Tianhuo, I actually have so many good things, which ones can be taken out and which ones can't be known?"

Tianhuo carefully calculated it and said: "The thousand-year-old meat mushroom must not be taken out, its level and value are far from being held by a force like the fox fairy forest, even if you take it out, the fox ancestor will not be able to use it, and once the news leaks, it is likely to cause a catastrophe to the clan, which is called 'the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty'." ”

"That three-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng was originally something that you were going to offer to the Fox Ancestor, so you might as well hand it in, which can complete your treasure hunting task, and it can also help the Fox Ancestor condense the golden pill.

It would be best if it could be refined into an elixir, but unfortunately there was no suitable alchemist in the Fox Immortal Forest, it was best to let your second-grade Dan master purify the medicinal liquid, and at least one more fourth-grade mid-grade pill could have the effect of a fourth-grade mid-grade elixir. ”

Ah Li was a little embarrassed and said, "Is it true that you don't tell the ancestor about the thousand-year-old meat mushroom? I always feel that it is wrong to lie to the ancestor like this." ”

Tianhuo was furious: "Everyone should have their own secrets, the thousand-year-old meat mushroom was taken back by the two of us in nine deaths, and half of it should be considered mine, I don't agree to give it to the fox ancestor."

Don't be too naïve with you, you must not take out the thousand-year-old meat mushroom, I don't want to accompany you to die.

And I didn't let you lie, the Fox Ancestor didn't know that you had a thousand-year-old meat mushroom, at most you didn't mention it, it wasn't a lie at all.

As long as it doesn't violate the conscience of heaven, why hand over such a valuable elixir?"

Ah Li saw that Tianhuo was angry, and muttered in a low voice: "I feel that it is against my conscience." ”

Tianhuo rolled his eyes angrily, pretended not to hear Ah Li's words, and continued: "The matter of the thousand-year-old meat zhi is so decided, and none of us are allowed to mention it again. Those two Zhuji Dan are of great use to you, you have already quenched the realm of copper bones, and you will soon reach the realm of quenching gold bones, and when you condense the demon pill, Zhuji Dan will be of great use. Tsukidan can't guarantee that you will succeed in condensing the Demon Pill once, so you have to leave both of them. ”

"As for Pei Yuan Dan and Gu Ben Dan, they are not of any help to the Fox Ancestor, and the number of them is too small to give to others, you can only give Dani Sanni, one per person, remember to 'Ascend Mien, Dou Mi Qiu'. ”

Ah Li asked curiously: "Then Aunt Erni, won't you give it to her?" The demon cultivators below the Demon Pill Stage of the Fox Immortal Forest called the female fox cultivators in the Demon Pill Stage 'aunt' and the male demon cultivators 'uncle'.

Tianhuo couldn't bear to hit Ah Li, but finally said it: "Erni is a master of the demon pill period, and there has been no news for five days since she disappeared. ”

Ah Li's face changed greatly: "Tianhuo, do you also believe that it was Aunt Sanni who killed Aunt Erni?"

Tianhuo looked at Ah Li's anxious expression, sighed, and comforted Ah Li: "It doesn't have to be done by my own people, maybe Erni went out to handle something urgently, and was killed or trapped by other demon cultivators." The cultivation realm is already very cruel, and you need to be too anxious, maybe Erni will come back safely in a few days. ”

In fact, Tianhuo had an even worse premonition in his heart, he thought of the fox ancestor, but he couldn't bear to say it, which made Ah Li sad in advance.

Ah Li asked a little gloomily, "What about the other things?"

Tianhuo said: "Charms and one-time magic weapons are left, those are used to save lives, there must be a certain amount, and it is not appropriate to scatter them to others." As for the Juling Pill and those Qingzhoufang dishes and dim sum, it will not help you much, you can give some brothers and sisters you know well, but you have to go back to the cave to find some empty bottles or other containers, so that you can divide the pills and snacks, and it is also limited to one or a small portion, and you can't give more. ”

Ah Li nodded, wondering where to find so many empty bottles and containers.

Tianhuo saw that Ah Li was thinking about things in a daze, and did not disturb her, but sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

When Ah Li was in a daze, he found that the heavenly fire had been settled, and Ah Li also lay on the stone platform and began to cultivate, absorbing the red light mist on the stone platform.

A night without a dream, just after the hour, a ray of sunshine shone into the small building, Ah Li quickly woke up, and found that the old man was no longer in the bamboo building, and a bowl of milky white fish soup was placed next to the small stove, exuding a strong fragrance and heat.

Ah Li combed his hair with his little tongue and paws, drank the fish soup again, and walked out of the small building.

Ah Li saw the old man at first sight, and he was still sitting in the position of fishing on weekdays, like a stone sculpture that has not been weathered for hundreds of years.

Ah Li ran to the old man's side and shouted sweetly, "Hello Grandpa Yu, why did you get up so early?"

The old man stared at the fish drift on the surface of the water and said, "Grandpa is old, he doesn't sleep as much as you young people, and he can't sleep after sleeping for a while, have you woken up?"

Ah Li nodded: "I woke up and I was full, thank you Grandpa Yu for your hospitality." ”

The old man turned his head sideways and looked at Ah Li lovingly: "Is there anything else?" If you don't have anything, go back to the Fox Fairy Forest to play with your friends, you don't need to accompany me here, a bad old man." ”

Ah Li was about to say goodbye to the old man, when he suddenly remembered something and asked the old man: "Grandpa Yu, Ah Li has a doubt, I forgot to ask you yesterday." When Ah Li ascended to the forging stage, he didn't grow a second tail, and now he has reached the quenching stage, there should be three tails, but he still hasn't grown, Ah Li is very confused, is it because my qualifications are too poor to grow?"

The old man turned around and looked Ah Li up and down seriously, and gradually frowned, the old man put down the fishing rod, stretched out his finger and lightly touched the white spot on Ah Li's eyebrows.

An extremely powerful True Yuan power came from the old man's fingertips, and the old man's cloudy eyes actually regained their clarity in an instant, as clear as a young man's eyes.

Ah Li fainted in an instant, and the unconscious figure appeared on the stone platform.

However, Tianhuo was so shocked that he jumped up, because the power of the white true yuan in the old man's fingertips entered Ah Li's body, and did not disappear, and he didn't know where to find the path and directly attacked the stone platform space.

The power of the white True Yuan impacted the back of the canopy on the mysterious stone platform, and layers of ripples appeared on the canopy, but it was firmly defended and was not broken by the power of the True Yuan.

Tianhuo only felt that his scalp was numb, this old man was too powerful, how could he see through the mysterious space?

The power of the True Yuan only tried to attack the canopy, but found that it could not be broken, and he was afraid that if he continued to increase the mana, he would hurt Ah Li, so the old man had to give up.

At this time, Tianhuo saw a huge fox face on the canopy, thinking that it was the old man who came closer to observe Ah Li, the old man frowned, and there was a trace of ruthlessness on his kind face, and he said:

"Boy, although I can't see you, but you are the Terran monk that Ah Li said, right? I finally understand why Ah Li can talk to you before he condenses the demon pill, it turns out that you have hidden it in Ah Li's body with the help of the magic treasure.

I don't care what the reason for your soul to leave your body, and I don't want to know what your intentions are for Ah Li, I warn you, if you dare to hurt Ah Li, or treat her badly, and go to the ends of the earth, I will destroy you! You know I have this ability, do you hear?"

Tianhuo hurriedly replied: "Senior, I was chased and killed by the enemy, I strayed into Ah Li's sea of knowledge, I couldn't get out by all means, I have no other thoughts about Ah Li, don't misunderstand; I don't have any bad intentions towards Ah Li, I treat her as a good friend, and I will never hurt her, you can rest assured, I swear, if I hurt Ah Li in the future, I will die under the five thunders." ”

Tianhuo wasn't sure if the old man could hear him, but the old man seemed to hear it, and continued: "I hope you treat Ah Li well, she is my most beloved descendant." Also, today's events, you can't tell Ah Li, let alone mention it to others, I still want to catch fish quietly in the Fox Fairy Forest for hundreds of years. ”

Tianhuo hurriedly agreed, and the old man's huge face disappeared from the sky.

Tianhuo only felt sweating profusely, the pressure that the old man gave him was even greater than that of the tanuki Daxian, since he didn't want Ah Li to know this secret, Tianhuo naturally wouldn't say it.

Besides, if there is such a master secretly protecting Ah Li in the Fox Immortal Forest, it will be very helpful for Ah Li's future.

The old man injected another true yuan power into Ah Li's body to wake Ah Li up.

Ah Li opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "Grandpa Yu, why did Ah Li fall asleep again, did you just help Ah Li check and find any problems?"

The old man nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Ah Li, when did you have this diamond-shaped white hair on your eyebrows?"

Ah Li raised his little paw and touched his eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "I heard from the previous clansmen that Ah Li was born with it, could it be that this mark makes Ah Li unable to grow a tail?"

The old man said: "This seal is very clever, it seals the nine CD of Ah Li's cultivation results, so that you can only use one percent of the mana, but Ah Li is really powerful, in such a difficult situation, he can still cultivate to the bone quenching stage." ”

Ah Li laughed heartlessly: "Haha, what Grandpa Yu means is that Ah Li is actually a genius, but he was affected by this seal, so his cultivation is much slower, so can Grandpa Yu help Ah Li open the seal?"

The old man shook his head: "This seal is very powerful, I estimate that it will take at least the Transformation Stage cultivation to open it, and Grandpa Yu can't open this seal." ”

Ah Li was a little frustrated: "Oh, then Ah Li can only pay ten times the effort of others in his life to get a harvest?"

The old man rubbed Ah Li's head: "Ah Li is discouraged, it's not all bad to have this seal, the ninety percent of your mana has not disappeared, but it has been stored by this seal, and when you break the seal one day, the strength will be ten times stronger immediately, and then the tail will naturally grow, grandpa believes that you will be able to break this seal." ”

When Ah Li heard the old man say this, he felt that he still had some hope, and he tried to cheer himself up.

In the end, after Ah Li and Lao Weng said goodbye, they officially marched to the Fox Fairy Forest.

Walking out of this bamboo forest near Changxi, the fox fairy forest suddenly became brighter, and the whole shallow hill appeared in front of you, which was much larger than that from the bamboo bridge.

The shallow hills of the Fox Fairy Forest, after hundreds of years of development, have been well organized by the Red Fox Clan.

Under the shallow mound is a large meadow and animal pen, specially raising horned rabbits and bamboo rats that the fox people love to eat, the animal pen is planted with live thorn wood, naturally forming a wall, preventing horned rabbits and bamboo rats from escaping from above the ground, and the soil layer in the animal pen is paved with stone slabs to prevent these two animals that love to gnaw and burrow to escape.

The corral provides a stable source of food for the fox clan, and of course, there are still many fox cultivators who like to go out hunting by themselves, which can not only reduce the pressure on the food supply of the clan, but also exercise their own physique, and maintain the traditional predatory instinct without degradation.

On the slopes of the shallow hills, a lot of terraced medicine gardens have been cultivated, and various elixirs of one to three grades are planted, providing a steady stream of cultivation resources for the Red Fox Clan.

Several small waterwheels brought a spiritual spring from the belly of the mountain, watering the terraced medicine garden on the hillside, although the spiritual energy content in the spiritual spring of the fox fairy forest can only be regarded as middle and lower, but it is enough to ensure the spiritual energy required for the growth of these low-grade elixirs.

On the upper cliff of the shallow hill, dozens of hidden caves have been opened, which are the accommodation places of the foxes in the fox fairy forest, among which there are several relatively large caves, which are the caves of the ancestors and the elders of the demon pill period.

In the underground belly of the shallow hill, there is also a short vein of lower grade spirit stone, so that the aura level of the entire fox immortal forest is not lower than the previous Boundless Valley.

This is the fox fairy forest where the red fox clan is entrenched, although it does not occupy a large area, and the members of the clan come from all over the world and do not belong to the same branch, but at first they tolerated each other, supported each other, and worked together to create the fox fairy forest.

In addition, later opened up the spirit stone mine, the spirit spring, the beast pen and the medicine garden, so that the red fox clan has a foothold here, after hundreds of years of breeding, although it is not the same bloodline of the red fox, but the branches are still like brothers and sisters.

At this time, it was only the middle of the hour, the sun had just risen halfway, and there was still a thin mist surrounding the damp fox fairy forest.

Ah Li walked quietly on the path, sniffing here and sniffing there along the way, this is his home, although it may be different from ten years ago, but Ah Li really likes it here!

"Stop!" came a loud shout.

There is a small hidden shack behind a boulder on the side of the road, which is a secret sentry in the fox fairy forest, and there are fox cultivators above the forging period there to guard and guard at all times.

Ah Li heard this somewhat familiar voice, and asked with some uncertainty: "You, are you one hundred and forty-nine brothers? I'm Ahri, don't you recognize me?"

"Ahri?" A male male fox in the forging period poked his head out from behind the stone, looked at Ah Li seriously, and saw the white mark on Ah Li's eyebrows, and the male fox immediately became happy!

The male fox jumped on the boulder, first raised his head to the sky and howled, and then shouted excitedly: "Come out, everyone, three hundred and twelve sisters, Ahri, are back!"
