Chapter 782 - 532: Selling Herself to Bury Her Father, Fox Lili

Looking at the scene before him, Song Xian was horrified and stammered, "She...she’s a demon?

A fox spirit or a rabbit spirit?"

Song Xian was currently just a first-layer Qi Refining cultivator with mixed spirit roots. Reaching this step in such a spiritually barren place using resources alone was quite commendable.

"How did you low-level cultivators recognize my true nature?"

The woman bared her teeth, her clothes violently torn, revealing white fur. Behind her were three unmistakable fox tails, indicating her cultivation had reached the third-layer Qi Refining stage.

Witnessing this scene, the expressions of the three honored guests changed slightly.

Some stood firm.

Some retreated, directly moving to Zheng Yi’s side.

The strongest among them was only at the second-layer Qi Refining, and facing a third-layer Qi Refining fox demon inevitably struck fear in their hearts.

"Elder, we’re almost at our limit."

"Please, Elder, lend us your aid!"

"Please, Elder, help us!"

Everyone began to plead for assistance.

Zheng Yi glanced at Song Xian.

Song Xian looked bewildered, suddenly realizing something, hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, and shouted to Zheng Yi, "Master, I can’t, I really can’t!"

"Too late!"

Zheng Yi sighed slightly.

The next moment, he grabbed Song Xian’s body and mercilessly threw him out.

With a "boom", the late-stage Qi Refining spiritual power clung to him, and at that moment, Song Xian plunged like a weight from the sky.

"Arhat Heaven-Flipping Seal!"

Zheng Yi shouted loudly, inexplicably finding this prank quite amusing.

Song Xian, like the Arhat Heaven-Flipping Seal, slammed down on the white-furred fox demon like Mount Tai pressing down.

With the restraining power of late-stage Qi Refining, the third-layer Qi Refining fox couldn’t struggle free for quite a while.

The scene was truly both ridiculous and laughable.

"You demon spawn, how dare you act tough in front of a late-stage Qi Refining elder!"

"Luckily the elder was here at the Song Mansion today, otherwise we would’ve met our end at your hands, demon!"

"Indeed, a mixed-breed beast is never any good!"

While speaking, the three honored guests already exuded killing intent, had Zheng Yi not yet spoken.

They would’ve long hacked this beast in front of them into minced meat with their swords.

"A great cultivator at late-stage Qi Refining, how could you appear in this tiny Qingshan Town?

How unfortunate for me!"

Upon hearing the words of the three honored guests, the face of the three-tailed fox showed despair, and its fierce struggle gradually ceased.

Indeed.

In front of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, its little tricks were utterly laughable.

"Great Cultivator, spare me."

"This little demon has never spared a life, only consumed some mortals’ essence qi."

"Please, Great Cultivator, have mercy!"

Seeing it couldn’t win, the three-tailed fox immediately put on a pitiful look, kowtowing in plea, not even considering the "heavy weight" pressing on it.

Survival was the most important thing.

...

"With just empty words, you think you can escape so easily? Aren’t you too naive?"

Zheng Yi stepped before the three-tailed fox, looking down at it with amusement in his eyes.

When the three-tailed fox heard Zheng Yi’s words, it wasn’t repulsed; instead, its delicate face, pitiful like a pear blossom in rain, revealed a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Elder, do you intend to spare my life?

I came to Qingshan Town today because of matters related to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

If you can use me in this matter, sparing my life today is indeed a trivial matter for you.

I wonder how I might assist you, Elder?"

The three-tailed fox spoke sincerely.

Zheng Yi slowly said, "I indeed came for the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

If you can assist me with this matter, sparing your life is a given.

The question is, can you do it?"

Upon hearing this, the three-tailed fox nodded rapidly like a pecking chick: "Rest assured, Elder, this little demon has always cultivated in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Although my experience is limited, I’m quite familiar with that forest and won’t let you make this trip in vain."

Saying this, it began to kowtow continuously like a tumbling golden mountain or jade column, the sincerity visible to all.

Seeing this, the few honored guests, although somewhat regretful, understood in their hearts.

If Zheng Yi hadn’t acted.

They probably wouldn’t have their lives left, let alone the qualifications to negotiate with Zheng Yi.

"Congratulations to the Elder on gaining a demon pet.

With it, you will certainly face fewer obstacles in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and your actions can be more assured."

Everyone spoke in unison, smiles of contentment on their faces.

Zheng Yi just gave them a faint glance before turning to leave.

"Swish, swish, swish," a few streaks of white light flashed through the air, and Zheng Yi’s voice drifted from afar: "These are some of the opportunities I promised you earlier, although they won’t help you break through to late-stage Qi Refining, achieving second-layer Qi Refining will be easy."

A few simple words again astonished the cultivator guests before him.

They rushed forward like mad dogs.

Snatching the elixir into their hands, each was overjoyed.

"This is actually the Yellow Dragon Pill, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivation elixir; we’re rich!"

"I’m sure this elder has a rich family heritage and abundant resources, otherwise it couldn’t be such a grand gesture."

"Third Young Master, you might have encountered a great sage this time."

The honored guests held the Yellow Dragon Pill in their hands, leaving a portion for Song Xian as well.

"Thank you, Elder."

Song Xian held the spirit pill in his hand, secretly whispering in his heart.

Elsewhere, Zheng Yi returned to his courtyard, with the three-tailed fox following closely behind him.

Though it was injured earlier, with Zheng Yi walking at a leisurely pace, occasionally slowing down, the three-tailed fox caught up quickly enough.
