The nine-tailed fox's fur stood on end from searching.
As if its sore spot had been touched, it kept baring its teeth at Xunmi, and its front paws were also rubbing against the ground in agitation.
Xunmi watched the nine-tailed fox's antics with great leisure, then with a wave of his hand, conjured a chair and sat down.
She had plenty of time to waste on it, and thought no one knew the use of the inner elixir.
Who knew someone would beat her to it? What a miscalculation!
"Xiao Jiu, do you really want to live like this forever?"
Unable to take human form, nor able to return to his peak cultivation level.
No wonder she heard Yi Sanchenguang and his group say that. It turns out that this stupid fox has even lost its inner core, so how can it still be fierce?
The nine-tailed fox withered, its entire head drooping down.
Those bright, expressive eyes were also filled with deep sorrow.
"This will allow you to recover quickly and, incidentally, transform into human form."
Xunmi took out a Great Rejuvenation Pill from his backpack and fed it to the Nine-Tailed Fox, feeling helpless.
She finally managed to trigger all the data in "Chaos".
The main theme is gods and demons, but on the surface, the factions and sects chosen by the players are all very different.
Some can cultivate themselves into immortals, some can make talismans, and there are also those ancient martial arts practitioners who cultivate themselves into assassins, warriors, and so on.
In short, it's a hodgepodge, it has everything.
Of course, when players enter the game, they must choose between the Gods and the Demons.
However, this choice will not limit their development at all; it just adds some additional abilities.
Naturally, these NPCs are also a group of their own, and some of them want to climb to higher positions.
Demon cultivators, flower cultivators, and so on emerged one after another, among which the two most prominent were Xunmi and the Nine-Tailed Fox.
One can't help but marvel at the boundless wisdom of humankind.
The fact that such high-tech things could be developed must have killed countless brain cells.
When the nine-tailed fox consumed the Great Rejuvenation Pill, its entire body glowed with golden light.
About half an hour later, a bright and lovely young man appeared in front of Xunmi.
He looked like a little kid, clearly not yet an adult, with chubby cheeks that made him very cute.
"Thank you, Sister Flower King." The fox boy happily spun around twice, then snuggled up to Xunmi's side, looking a little embarrassed.
After all, he had just treated them that way, and they not only didn't hold it against him, but also helped him transform.
Xunmi ruffled the fox boy's hair; it was soft and comfortable.
She now understood why her husband loved to ruffle her hair so much; it was such a compliment.
"Little Jiu, now tell your sister who took your inner core."
Who could be so cruel as to harm such a cute and well-behaved boy? It's simply unforgivable.
...
It's as if you weren't the one who wanted to dig up the Nine-Tailed Fox's inner core before.
Searching: I've long forgotten the past. Did I say anything? Obviously not.
He turned around and became indignant again. Xiao Jiu was so pitiful, why don't I take her with me?
Staying here will only lead to being killed sooner or later.
He doesn't have an inner core now, so at most he can only protect himself. Even if he has a high level of cultivation, it will slowly decline over time.
He needs to take the Great Rejuvenation Pill regularly to alleviate the deficiency of not having an inner core. Or should she go and dig out the inner core of the dragon in that fissure pool?
Okay, it's decided then.
"Sister, my inner core was taken by a cultivator who said he was Elder Qingfeng of the Qingyang Sect."
The fox boy, who had been given the name Xiao Jiu by Xunmi, rubbed against Xunmi's palm before replying.
He looked like a bullied child complaining to his parents, asking them to help him get revenge.
Xunmi was completely charmed; Xiao Jiu was so adorable, she absolutely had to take her home and raise her.
However, this Qingyang Sect looks so familiar.
"So it was that old Taoist priest. It's alright, come on, I'll help you get revenge."
"It's not safe for you here. Come back to the palace with your sister. Once your sister finds the inner core to repair you, we'll go find that stinky Taoist priest."
Since ancient times, immortals and demons have been irreconcilable enemies, and this is truly a vivid portrayal of that conflict.
In short, being an NPC is tough. Not only do you get attacked by players, but you also have to constantly guard against other NPCs stealing your resources.
Little Jiu skipped and hopped along beside Xunmi, very happy.
He had initially thought it was just another person trying to steal the treasure, but he hadn't realized he was mistaken.
...
Yao Yao Xiao Qi, who is also the female protagonist Shangguan Qi, and her junior sister Zi Qin Mo, who have returned to the gang, happen to meet Yi San Chen Guang and his group.
"Master, you're back! Where's my zither?"
Yao Yao Xiao Qi ran happily toward the dissipating dust, her heart set on the Xuan Yue Guqin that had appeared on the forum.
That zither not only possessed powerful attack capabilities, but it was also very beautiful in appearance.
Yi San Chen Guang, somewhat apologetically, helped Yao Yao and Xiao Qi, who had rushed towards him, and said, "Xiao Qi, Master will make you the Frost Flute tomorrow."
If it weren't so late today, and if they hadn't needed to recover, they would have gone straight to the Earth Rift Pool.
The smile on Yao Yao Xiao Qi's face disappeared, and she pouted, refusing to accept it.
"No, Master, I want the Xuan Yue Guqin."
"Xiao Qi, someone else got that zither. Tomorrow we'll go get you the Frost Flute. Its attack power is also very high, no worse than the Mysterious Moon Zither."
The solitary scholar began to explain, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
They had been playing with the Nine-Tailed Fox all afternoon and were exhausted; they really didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore.
Yao Yao Xiao Qi's eyes instantly filled with tears, and she said timidly, "Master, I'm sorry, Scholar Brother, I was just being willful."
"It's just that Xiao Qi really likes the Xuan Yue Guqin, I'm sorry."
Lonely Scholar sighed and gently patted Yao Yao Xiao Qi's head to comfort her.
"It was the scholar who spoke too harshly, Xiao Qi, don't be sad. It's very late, go and rest now."
Yao Yao Xiao Qi nodded, obediently said goodbye to the others, and left.
A flash of resentment crossed Ziqinmo's eyes as she was being led away, but she remained unnoticed as she was doing so behind everyone's back.
It's always the same; everyone only sees Yao Yao Xiao Qi. Even though she's such a big person standing there, no one will take the initiative to greet her.
She was indignant and didn't understand why.
Just as the group sat down to discuss their plans to raid the Earth Rift Pool the next day, they were drawn to a world message.
