The vast wilderness was bathed in gentle sunlight. The entire space was filled with the fragrance of fresh grass, as if the whole world had been purified, free from pollution.
On the road, a flash of white light darted by. Those with keen eyes might have noticed a white canine creature with a person riding on its back.
Lingfeng rode atop the White Wolf, initially feeling a bit apprehensive. However, Mei had sternly warned the White Wolf that if anything happened to Lingfeng, she would no longer pay any attention to it.
The White Wolf glanced at Lingfeng and then lay down at Mei's feet, whimpering.
"Hoo!" Lingfeng felt the speed of the White Wolf while riding on its back. The fur on its back was soft, combined with its strong muscles, providing a delightful sensation beneath Lingfeng.
Lingfeng found it hard to resist and could only lie on the White Wolf's back, enjoying the comfort it provided.
In fact, Lingfeng's destination this time was Luoling Mountain.
Last time, Lingfeng had inadvertently met the nine-tailed fox and was now seeking her help.
Herb Hall was over two hundred miles away from Luoling Mountain; however, the White Wolf ran much faster than the horses from the White Jade Escort Agency. In just half the time, Lingfeng could already see the full view of Luoling Mountain.
"Awesome!" Lingfeng exclaimed while still lying on the White Wolf's back upon seeing Luoling Mountain. "White Wolf, charge forward with all your might!"
The White Wolf let out an unhappy bark and then sprinted forward, quickly arriving at Luoling Mountain.
Lingfeng looked up at the mountain and soon found the spot where they had ascended last time. The White Wolf followed closely behind Lingfeng, cautiously scanning the surroundings.
"White Wolf, there are tigers, leopards, and many terrifying spirit beasts in here; you must be careful!" Lingfeng playfully teased the White Wolf with a grin.
The White Wolf shot a glance at Lingfeng, seemingly unimpressed by her mention of animals.
Lingfeng chuckled and then arrived at the spot where he last saw the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Hey, the mysterious spirit beast is about to appear!" Lingfeng said mysteriously to White Wolf, and then shouted into the air, "Nine-Tailed Fox, where are you?"
The entire Luoling Mountain echoed with Lingfeng's voice, one wave after another.
Before long, a gentle breeze suddenly swept through, carrying a faint scent of fox in the air.
Lingfeng knew that the Nine-Tailed Fox was coming, so he excitedly looked up at the sky.
Meanwhile, White Wolf had all its white fur standing on end, its four sharp fangs pressed tightly against its lips, letting out a low threatening growl.
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter rang out from the sky, and soon after, eight white foxes appeared in the air, with the Nine-Tailed Fox sitting atop them.
"Brother, what brings you here?" The Nine-Tailed Fox landed on the ground, retracting her eight tails and asked with a smile.
"Oh, I came here to ask you for a favor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, White Wolf could no longer contain itself. Its predatory instincts made it unable to tolerate this fox flaunting itself in front of him. With a sudden roar, it leaped into the air and pounced towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was no ordinary fox and naturally did not take White Wolf seriously. However, she knew that this wolf was brought by Lingfeng, so she did not strike back. Instead, she lightly waved her tail, causing White Wolf to be unable to reach her, as if there were a glass barrier between them.
Lingfeng broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that White Wolf must have transferred its resentment towards him onto the Nine-Tailed Fox. Apologetically smiling at the Nine-Tailed Fox, he said, "I would like a Cobra's Venomous Fang, as well as a gem buried underground for years, and also some unpolluted Chuan Shui! I wonder if you have any of these here?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at White Wolf, made a face at it, and after listening to Lingfeng, replied, "I have everything you need here; I just want to know what you're planning to do with them."
Lingfeng was overjoyed and hurriedly said to the Nine-Tailed Fox, "These four items can be used to create an antidote. I am doing this to save someone!"
In fact, no matter what Lingfeng wanted those items for, the Nine-Tailed Fox would have given them to him. Hearing Lingfeng's words, the Nine-Tailed Fox smiled nonchalantly and replied, "Just wait a moment; I'll be right back!"
With that, her eight tails transformed into eight foxes and flew into the sky.
Seeing that the Nine-Tailed Fox had disappeared without a trace, Lingfeng wiped his sweat and said to White Wolf, "Wolf, please don't bite everyone you see. I know you have a grudge against foxes, but that Nine-Tailed Fox is a spirit beast; you are no match for her. Why bother with such pointless trouble?"
White Wolf was unwilling to pay attention to Lingfeng, pretending not to hear him as he walked over to a tree and quietly lay down.
Lingfeng sighed helplessly; there was really nothing he could do about White Wolf.
After waiting for a while, the Nine-Tailed Fox still hadn't returned.
Feeling a bit bored, Lingfeng stood up to stretch his legs.
Meanwhile, White Wolf became alert again, his nostrils flaring.
"Could it be that the Nine-Tailed Fox is back?" Lingfeng thought to himself upon seeing White Wolf's expression.
Sure enough, a gust of wind blew by, and the Nine-Tailed Fox returned in a flurry, holding a piece of white jade, a tooth, and a gourd.
"Brother," the Nine-Tailed Fox said as soon as she landed, wiping her sweat. "These are the items you need!"
Lingfeng looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox in surprise. He picked up the three items and asked with some skepticism, "Senior, this tooth and Chuan Shui might not be an issue, but where did you find this jade that has been buried underground for years?"
"This is nothing difficult. Back when I wasn't a spirit yet, I lived in a cave under the stones on the back mountain. This piece of white jade was buried beneath that cave. It's great that you need it, so I brought it out!"
Lingfeng nodded in understanding and then cupped his hands in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, senior. I still have matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer!"
Ziren was afflicted by Mandrake Poison, with life hanging by a thread, and Lingfeng was eager to hurry back.
"Are you leaving so soon?" The Nine-Tailed Fox, unaware of Lingfeng's urgent matters, expressed some reluctance.
Lingfeng nodded and replied, "If I have time another day, I will definitely come back to visit you, senior!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox had lived on Luoling Mountain for many years, while the other spirit beasts had ventured out. At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox was the only animal capable of human speech on Luoling Mountain and often felt lonely without companions. Naturally, the thought that Lingfeng would return one day brought joy to her heart.
Lingfeng smiled as well, then mounted White Wolf and headed towards Herb Hall.
As evening approached, Lingfeng finally arrived at Herb Hall.
Mei was currently wiping Ziren's sweat in his room. Upon seeing Lingfeng return, she quickly brightened up and asked, "Did you find it?"
Lingfeng nodded and handed her the item he had brought back. "Quickly take this to make the antidote!"
Mei nodded and turned to head outside.
Ziren's complexion had returned to normal; however, the black mark on his chest was spreading and had now covered his entire front, looking quite alarming.
Lingfeng sighed and wiped Ziren's sweat. "Ziren, you owe me a life. I don't need you to repay me, but all I want is the Falling Leaf Technique. If you give me the Falling Leaf Technique, we can clear our debts."
Ziren's chest rose and fell slowly, sleeping peacefully, no longer showing the previous signs of pain.
The moon outside gradually changed, but the light did not diminish.
Lingfeng walked outside and saw Mei struggling to grind the Venomous Fang with a stone.
"What are you doing?" Lingfeng asked in confusion.
"I'm going to crush this Venomous Fang. Later, I need to grind the jade into powder and then put both of these into the Alchemical Furnace with water. Tomorrow, Ziren will be able to eat it!"
Seeing Mei drenched in sweat, Lingfeng felt a surge of compassion and pulled Mei aside, saying, "You should rest; I'll do it!"
Mei looked at Lingfeng; although she couldn't see Lingfeng's expression clearly, it seemed their hearts had reached a mutual understanding.
Lingfeng set Mei aside and summoned the Ivory Bone Knife from Xuanji. He tossed the Venomous Fang into the air, and under the moonlight, it emitted a ghastly white glow.
Lingfeng's arms appeared to move rapidly a few times, but in reality, he had swung back and forth over a hundred times. The Venomous Fang had turned into a pile of powder that fell into the bowl.
Mei opened her eyes wide, incredulously watching Lingfeng.
Lingfeng glanced at Mei with a proud smile before tossing the jade upward as well. With a few swift motions, the jade also turned into fragments.
"Done!" Lingfeng put away the Ivory Bone Knife back into Xuanji and casually clapped his hands.
"Wow!" Mei showed an envious expression and stepped forward to ask, "Lingfeng, your skills are amazing. How was that white knife so sharp just now?"
Lingfeng felt a sense of pride as he summoned the Ivory Bone Knife, boasting, "This was given to me by our sect leader, and it's even a low-grade Celestial Fruit!"
“Celestial Fruit!” Mei exclaimed, her eyes sparkling like gems. “My grandfather, Celestial Fruit is refined by immortals. Could this one be made by an immortal?”
Lingfeng nodded and said, “The previous leader of the Demon Suppression Sect found this ancient ivory when he ascended to the extreme. Before he left, he spent some time refining this Celestial Fruit.”
Mei gently stroked the Ivory Bone Knife, which shimmered with radiant light and pulsed with Spiritual Energy. Then, she cautiously placed the Ivory Bone Knife back into Lingfeng's hand and said, “I never expected to see a Celestial Fruit in my lifetime!”
Lingfeng chuckled and replied, “This Ivory Bone Knife is a gift from the sect leader, so I can't just give it to you. However, if I come across any good weapons in the future, I will definitely give one to you!”
Mei's eyes lit up as she smiled gratefully at Lingfeng, then picked up a bowl and walked towards the Dan Room.
Lingfeng stared blankly at Mei's figure as she moved gracefully, exuding charm.
“What a beautiful girl. I wonder if Enchanting would allow me to have many wives!” Lingfeng mused after a moment of silence.
Not far away, the White Wolf lay quietly under a tree. Its eyes emitted a blue light, as if trying to freeze the entire space.
Suddenly, Lingfeng felt a chill run down his spine and shivered before returning to the house.
