60: A five-tailed red fox! A martial arts practitioner who ventures into the mountains to capture demons!
Three bottles of Incense Offerings were obtained, and two have been used.
Xu Qing constantly tempered his body with Incense Offerings, the strength of his Physical Body improved quite a bit, and his bones and meridians became tougher.
A translucent System panel immediately appeared.
【 Name: Xu Qing 】
【 Identity: Snake God of Mount Taihang 】
【 Bloodline: pure blood ( 450 / 10000 ) 】
【 Body Length: 84 meters 】
【 Cultivation Level: 3630 years 】
【 Number of Offspring: 3695 】
【 Earthly Fiend Techniques: Arrangement Formation, Universe in a Pot, Conceal Sun, Great Strength, Spitting Flame, Light Generation, Swallowing Soldiers, Spirit Expulsion, Wind Borrowing, Soul Seizing, Grain Avoidance 】
【 Spell: Mysterious Heaven Divine Light, Earth Hearing Technique, Breath Concealment Art, Five Thunders Incantation, Spirit Eye, Divine Movement Technique 】
His Bloodline increased by 150 points, and his body length also increased slightly.
Xu Qing was quite satisfied with this.
If Incense Offerings were added to cultivation mana, it would be equivalent to adding a spoonful of water to a bowl.
Once the Incense Offerings are cut off, that water can be taken away.
Therefore, the mana used by divine path Cultivators is actually Incense Offerings, which is slightly different from the mana of normal Cultivators.
But if it is used to refine Magical Artifacts, or to temper the Physical Body, or to cast Spells, then it is different.
It is equivalent to the Incense Offerings having already been digested and transformed into something else, which cannot be changed.
City Gods, Earth Deities, Mountain Gods, and Water Gods all have a rain-prayer technique, which can cause heavy rain in an area when fueled by Incense Offerings.
This Incense Offering is consumed, and once it's gone, it's gone.
It won't be that because the divine path Cultivator's Incense Offerings are cut off, the previous rain suddenly disappears.
Therefore, after understanding this, Xu Qing no longer chose to use it to increase his Cultivation Level.
Instead, he used it to temper his Physical Body and Bloodline, increasing his bloodline points.
This thing has already been transformed by him, and no one can take it away.
As for the remaining bottle of Incense Offerings, Xu Qing thought about it and did not use it.
In his internal space, there were still some flood dragon bones, as well as some weapons captured from humans earlier.
He planned to find an opportunity, when there were more Incense Offerings, to try and refine a weapon of his own.
As for what specific weapon, he had not yet decided.
Just as he was pondering.
"Your 3696th Offspring has been born, born as a demon, with medium Aptitude, you have obtained a Medicinal Pill: blood tempering spirit ointment."
"blood tempering spirit ointment: Can help Cultivators temper their body and Bloodline."
Xu Qing's thoughts stirred, and he took out the newly obtained blood tempering spirit ointment, the large jade bottles filled with the spirit ointment.
He flicked his snake tongue out, tasted a little, and found it had no effect.
"This thing is of no use to me anymore."
He thought for a moment, turned around and crawled toward the nest, preparing to give this thing to Liu Mei to use.
Liu Mei's Cultivation Level was not high, so she could just use the blood tempering spirit ointment to improve herself.
The notification sounds kept ringing, as one Offspring after another was born.
However, no demonized Offspring were born, only adding a few decades of Cultivation Level to Xu Qing.
...
Meanwhile.
In the deep mountains bordering the Flower and Fruit Forest, Crouching Dragon Pool, and the Black Mist Region, a fierce battle was breaking out.
"Boom!"
A loud noise and a sharp scream sounded simultaneously, breaking the tranquility of Tu Mountain.
Colorful brilliance suddenly lit up, and a slender figure appeared on a mountaintop.
It was a young girl who looked no more than twenty years old, with breathtaking beauty, a curvaceous figure, and a cinnabar mole at the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, the girl's beautiful face was filled with anger.
"Damned humans, to dare to enter my Tu Mountain and kidnap my sisters!"
Accompanied by an angry shout, a huge red fox phantom appeared behind her.
The red fox phantom was comparable to a small mountain, with eyes like red moons, smooth red fur, and five tails slowly drifting behind it!
Not far ahead.
More than a dozen human Cultivators had pale faces and terrified eyes, looking in astonishment at the red fox on the distant mountaintop and the young girl beneath the red fox.
Their bodies were full of surging Qi and blood, wearing tight-fitting clothes, holding various weapons, clearly all Martial Artists.
Their strength was mostly the same, basically all Seventh Grade, with the two leaders being Sixth Grade.
Several of them even had fox demons slung over their shoulders.
The fox demons were not injured, but they were all in a state of coma.
Seeing the young girl who suddenly appeared in the distance, this group of Martial Cultivators' faces changed drastically.
"Five-tailed fox demon!!"
"Run!"
The two leaders roared, then turned and ran.
The strength of a fox demon is best judged by the number of their tails.
The more tails, the stronger their strength and Aptitude!
The strongest among them was only Sixth Grade, and it was impossible for them to be an opponent of a five-tailed fox demon!
The key was that they were still on someone else's territory, and once left behind, they wouldn't want to survive.
"Damn it, wasn't it said that the fox from Tu Mountain wasn't there? Where did this five-tailed fox demon come from!"
One of the Sixth Grade Martial Cultivators cursed: "Those damned profiteers!"
Some dignitaries of the Great Gan had grown tired of the normal, so they developed some special hobbies.
They set their sights on alien races.
Among them, fox demons were the most popular commodity.
Fox demons were all extremely beautiful, especially the inherent charm in their bones, which made countless dignitaries intoxicated.
Therefore, in the Great Gan, both male and female fox demons were absolutely top-tier luxury items.
Some merchant firms set their sights on this.
They either sent out their own Cultivators or entrusted some Cultivators to enter the mountain to capture fox demons.
Then, they used certain Medicinal Pills refined by Alchemists to squeeze the life force of the fox demons, forcing them to transform into human forms ahead of time.
This kind of Medicinal Pill has huge side effects; after taking it, the fox demon's lifespan becomes extremely short.
And they might not fully transform, possibly retaining some fox characteristics, such as growing a pair of fox ears.
But such fox demons did not become waste; on the contrary, they became precious items among them!
Slight demonic characteristics greatly increased their value.
After training by professionals, they were proficient in all kinds of skills to serve people, and were finally sold at a high price.
Just an ordinary fox demon was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!
Rare items were worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions of taels!
With such huge profits, naturally, countless people flocked to it, and even knowing the dangers of the big mountains, they still came to capture fox demons.
At this time, the Martial Cultivators who were caught red-handed by the red fox were exactly like this.
They had accepted the commission and came to Tu Mountain, and everything had gone smoothly, successfully capturing many fox demons.
However, they didn't expect to encounter this catastrophe!
"Roar!"
A sharp roar came from the mountaintop behind.
The sound waves echoed, shaking the mountains and forests.
Several Martial Artists who ran slowly coughed up blood on the spot, mixed with some fragments of internal organs.
"Save me!"
They looked desperate, fell to the ground powerlessly, and reached out to ask for help.
However, at the critical moment of life and death, others had no time to take care of them, only caring about running for their lives.
"Stay, all of you!"
A cold female voice came from behind.
The young girl standing on the mountaintop flashed murderous intent in her phoenix eyes, took a step forward, and turned into a streak of red light to chase after them.
