Chapter 954 - 451: Golden Core Cultivation Technique; The Demon Lord’s Challenge (Part 2)

"Chirp!"

The little white fox glared fiercely at Chen Ye, trotted gracefully over to him, and slapped him with its tail.

"Chirp chirp! (You despicable, heartless, ungrateful human!)"

Chen Ye knew he was in the wrong, and despite receiving the tail slap, he wasn’t angry.

He reached out his large hand and smoothed the little fox’s tail.

Unexpectedly, the fox shivered all over, quickly pulled back its tail, and glared at Chen Ye again.

"Ahem, this is my fault. There’s been too much going on at Cold Scale Mansion recently, and I’ve been too busy to attend to the great Fox Immortal properly. Let these serve as my apology, alright?"

Chen Ye was helpless; this fox was even harder to appease than a little girl!

But fortunately, lately, it had spent so much time with Qing Jun that it became rather gluttonous. Since it liked to eat, there was a way to win its favor!

He fished out two Condensation Pills from the Storage Ring and offered them to the little fox.

"Chirp!"

The little white fox snorted proudly and turned its fluffy head to the side.

But out of the corner of its eye, it secretly glanced over.

Hmm??

This guy’s alchemy skills are getting more and more impressive!

This Condensation Pill is top-grade among the Second Tier pills, and he actually managed to refine it to perfection?

Seeing the wisps of pill vapor emanating from the pill, the little white fox couldn’t help but swallow its saliva.

In fact, the pills didn’t do much for it.

But the pills refined by Chen Ye were incredibly mysterious, containing hidden elements of the Dao. Even if eaten like candy, they would make it feel comfortable.

"Chirp!"

In the end, the little white fox couldn’t resist the temptation.

In the blink of an eye, it reached out with a small paw, hooked the pills, and swallowed them both in one bite. Its cheeks were puffed out, showing a look of bliss.

After taking the pills, it was hard to hold grudges.

The little white fox’s hostility toward Chen Ye dissipated considerably, and its raised tail hung down obediently.

Only then did it refocus its attention on the green sprout at Chen Ye’s fingertips.

"Squeak~"

It leaned closer and sniffed with its moist little nose.

Though the Vine King was a demon vine, it had long since gained spirituality and was, of course, no stranger to the little white fox, its old friend.

At the tip of the green sprout quickly divided into a fine vine thread, which lightly tickled the little white fox’s moist nose tip.

"Achoo!"

The little white fox sneezed and shook its head.

It wasn’t annoyed; instead, it excitedly flailed its little paws, trying to hug the vine thread.

Seeing these two little creatures playing without a care in the world,

Chen Ye thought to himself:

"Hmm? Just what kind of character is this little white fox? Judging by its intelligence, it’s quite childish, much like Qing Jun, yet its abilities are remarkable."

"In any case, its connection with True Man Ye is quite close, possibly even True Man Ye themselves..."

"It’s said True Man Ye originally came from the Demon Race, could it be the Fox clan? Did they fail the tribulation, hence their mind and memory are affected?"

Perhaps.

Right now, Chen Ye’s strongest asset isn’t the Heart Slaughter Sword, but this seemingly ordinary little fox!

Though the little fox usually appeared dumb and cute, it never hesitated at crucial moments.

Watching this scene, Chen Ye chuckled and said:

"You’ve noticed it too, haven’t you? Now that it’s with me, it’s always running into some Golden Core old monsters and Fake Pill tough guys, not to mention, a random wave of a magical battle might just obliterate it. So I plan to give it to Jin’er for protection."

Upon hearing Jin’er’s name, the little white fox perked up its ears, its eyes lighting up.

Compared to the foul man, Jin’er was much more agreeable.

Plus, the foul man often disappeared, whereas Jin’er could always be with it, allowing it to play with the Vine King anytime!

"Chirp chirp!"

The little white fox nodded with great satisfaction, snuggling up to the Vine King again.

Chen Ye glanced at the little white fox and, feigning casualness, said:

"Alas, the opponents are growing stronger, yet I’m still in Foundation Establishment, and the Cultivation Technique I practice is only at the Foundation Establishment Chapter. Little Bai, you hail from Songyang Cave Heaven, by any chance do you remember any powerful Cultivation Techniques in that little head of yours?"

Back then.

The Fourth Elder only bestowed upon him the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Withered and Flourishing Profound Light Scripture.

Although the Fourth Elder did have the Golden Core Chapter, if there were better options, Chen Ye naturally wanted to use a superior technique for his Core Formation.

The Withered and Flourishing Profound Light Scripture, though one of the best techniques for the Five Spiritual Roots during the early period, was only suitable for the early period.

But at the Golden Core Stage, there were so many techniques far superior to the Withered and Flourishing Profound Light Scripture.

The little white fox stiffened its little paws clutching the vine thread.

Golden Core cultivation technique?

What was this foul man suddenly asking about this for?!

Could he have guessed something? Does he suspect my true identity?

"Squeak?"

The little white fox let go of the vine in its arms, sat on the table with its plump little bottom, tilted its fluffy little head, and let its two ears flop down pitifully, looking at Chen Ye as if listening to an incomprehensible lecture.

"Chirp chirp... (I’m just a little fox...)"

In order to play dumb, the little white fox exaggeratedly bit its own tail tip, then turned its head around, eagerly staring at Chen Ye’s Storage Ring, a tiny bead of crystal-clear saliva trickling down its mouth unwittingly.

Seeing this, Chen Ye’s eye twitched.

Indeed, relying on this little fox was impossible.

Instead of counting on the fox, it would be better to rely on the Duqing Divine Son.

Qin Jiaming, who was the reincarnation of Lord Luoxiao, possessed Cultivation Techniques that were probably among the top in the entire Cultivation Realm.

However... asking for techniques from her might not be an easy task.

"Forget it, if you don’t understand, then so be it. A greedy fox, what could you possibly know about the path of Core Formation?"

Chen Ye shook his head, reached out, and mischievously ruffled the white fur on the little fox’s head into a tangled mess,
