Chapter 2003: Chapter 1983:

However, the dragon vein was absorbed by the Demon Suppression Tower, and the spirit stone mine at the foot of the mountain was dug away by him. I’m afraid the rear mountain won’t have as many Forbidden Lands, nor will it grow so many rare Spiritual Herbs and Medicines.

Even if he stays here, with the dragon vein gone and the high-grade spirit stone mine nourishing this mountain, the mountain may remain the same. But the spirit stone mine will undoubtedly decrease in grade, isn’t that a loss?

He could take away all the high-grade spirit stones and instead use the high-grade spirit stones to carve a Spirit Gathering Array on the mountain, which could still gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth to nurture the rear mountain.

Moreover, this way he could gain a bit more instead of getting nothing at all, right?

Of course, the most important task is still to maintain the circulation of spiritual energy within the Demon Suppression Tower, lest it becomes as ordinary as the rest.

"Forget about the vixen, but aren’t you worried I’ll run away if you let me out? I’m an Exotic Beast from the Vastness of Time, not someone you little humans can subdue," Hu Batian looked curiously at Long Tu and asked.

"I’m not afraid. After all... you’re an Exotic Beast within the Demon Suppression Tower. Even if I take you out, I can recall you with a single thought," Long Tu replied casually. "Of course, if I’m in a good mood, I might even let you explore outside a bit more."

Hu Batian: "..." Is this kid deliberately mocking him? He seemed completely clueless a moment ago, and now he’s so adept? What a joke!

Still, he agreed, having not been out to see the world in ages and wanting to know what it’s like outside.

A flash of yellow light swept by, and the tyrant of the eighth layer of the Demon Suppression Tower, along with Long Tu, vanished.

Hu Batian looked disdainfully at the shovel Long Tu handed him, "When have you ever seen Lord Hu use such a thing?" Then he went straight to using his claws, quickly producing a beautiful pile of spirit stones, looking smugly at Long Tu.

Long Tu shrugged and continued digging on his own.

"Oh no!"

Soon, Hu Batian let out a scream and pitifully approached Long Tu, extending his paw, "Look, look, it’s bleeding!"

"Is Grandpa Fox really that careless? Even resorting to acting cute?" Long Tu rolled his eyes and handed over some healing medicine Luo Qianqian had given him before entering the rear mountain.

He himself didn’t use it, but ended up using it on a fox, which bewildered Long Tu.

"What is this? An elixir?" Hu Batian watched his wound stop bleeding quickly, his eyes lighting up.

Actually, he could use spiritual power to accelerate healing, but he inexplicably wanted to tease Long Tu, thus playing out this scene, but didn’t expect Long Tu would really impress him.

"It speeds up wound healing," Long Tu wouldn’t mention that Luo Qianqian had asked Mo to make it for An Hao, who was lively and active for his age, so Mo made a bit more, leaving some for Luo Qianqian.

So, right now he had such a thing.

Compared to elixir, medicinal powder is evidently easier to make. After all, the properties and compatibility of an elixir can cause variations in its shape, with only a perfect sphere being called an elixir, whereas the others are merely medicine.

Hu Batian watched Long Tu calmly continue mining, snorted, and stomped his foot, causing the entire vein to tremble, and subsequently, snacks eagerly flew out, landing on the original pile of spirit stone ores, snorting, "Master is tired, Master’s going to rest, don’t disturb Master."

Just as the words fell... a red light flashed, and Hu Batian returned to the Demon Suppression Tower.

Upon realizing what happened, Hu Batian’s eyes widened, "Darn it!"

He wanted to have fun outside, but what happened? What’s the outcome? This brat sent him back?! Does he know the importance of respecting the elder and caring for the young? Can’t he let him roam freely?

Soon, Long Tu also returned, and seeing Hu Batian blowing his beard and glaring, he raised an eyebrow, "Angry?"

"Master is very displeased!" If it wasn’t inside the Demon Suppression Tower, where he couldn’t harm Hu Batian, he would surely let Long Tu know the importance of respecting the elder and caring for the young!

"The outside world is chaotic right now. After things settle here, I’ll let you go out and see," Long Tu calmly stated, since thanks to Hu Batian, it was extremely convenient. After collecting the pile of spirit stones, he was surprised to find none were missed. Just for this, at least he should offer Hu Batian ’Master’ a three-day, two-night, all-inclusive trip, right?

One shouldn’t be too stingy, right?

"Really?" Hu Batian suspiciously eyed Long Tu, given they are demon beasts within the Demon Suppression Tower, wouldn’t it be okay to deceive them?

Yet, he remained full of anticipation, having been buried underground earlier, unaware of what this world is like now...

"However, there are conditions." Long Tu looked seriously at Hu Batian, "Don’t cause trouble for me. If someone discovers your identity, be careful, for you might spend the rest of your life within the Demon Suppression Tower, and they’ll even find a bunch of vixens for you to breed with!"

Hu Batian: "..." Can we stop discussing the vixen issue?

Hu Batian, Grandpa Fox, wants his partner to be stunning beyond comparison, a beauty capable of making even heroes and legends lay their hearts open. How could any ordinary being capture his heart?

Most importantly, they absolutely cannot be winged creatures! He harbors deep hatred against anything with wings!

"By the way, do you want to cultivate? I’ll give you some spirit stones," Long Tu asked Hu Batian.

Hu Batian rolled his eyes and replied irritably, "If I cultivated, spiritual energy supply down there would be insufficient. Do you think Grandpa Fox is one of those small creatures? We’re an Exotic Beast from the Vastness of Time, with ’Vastness’ in our name, how could we be ordinary wares? You’ve turned yourself into merchandise?

Long Tu shrugged, "I’ll go have a look, entertain yourself."

Upon hearing Long Tu’s words, Hu Batian lay down directly, choosing happily to continue sleeping. After all, aside from Long Tu, no one else could come here.

The eighth layer isn’t something one enters just by strength alone; it represents the Demon Suppression Tower’s approval, so the demon beasts here lead a leisurely life...

Either sleeping or sleeping, there’s really nothing else to do.

After a turn down below, Long Tu found Luo Qianqian and her group all diligently cultivating without harm and breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, despite this, he felt incredibly bored, as he had nothing to do...

The pressure here was ineffective on him... he couldn’t cultivate at all.
