Chapter 325 The Well
"Ancestor."
"Ancestor."
"Ancestor."
The little fox cubs greeted each other respectfully.
Shaoyi nodded.
"Alright, no need for so many rules." He asked, "What's the situation regarding the spirit bone?"
The young disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.
I didn't dare to hide it, so I told the truth honestly.
"That's how things are. We beg our ancestors to make the decision for us."
The kids surrounded him, patting his arms and legs, their eagerness making the old doctor roll his eyes.
I've seen people lick, but I've never seen anyone lick like this.
They weren't ashamed at all.
"Go away, go away, how can adults make decisions for you?"
"Grandmother!" The young disciples exclaimed anxiously, "This Yingzhao clan has ill intentions. They clearly took the spirit bone themselves, and now they're trying to shift the blame onto Grandmother. If they frame her like this, who knows what people outside will say?"
Great-grandmother?
The old doctor's lips twitched.
"Go, go, go somewhere cool and stay there. My family doesn't want to get involved in this mess."
The cubs have just been born.
Yunyun is still asleep.
He can't even clean up this mess, yet he's bothering with outsiders. Does his family have the time and energy for this?
"Ancestor..."
Shaoyi frowned.
"Not Yingzhao."
"What?" The younger disciples were a little confused: "What does the ancestor mean by this? If it's not Yingzhao, it can't be our great-grandmother, right?"
They had already inquired about it.
The outsider who entered the back mountain was the head of the Yuanzhou Mu clan.
First-tier Snow Weasel Clan.
The overwhelming pressure that swept by was as vast as the ocean; even they could hardly withstand a single blow. How could a small snow weasel clan possibly possess such strength?
It must have been Ying Zhao who did it.
They colluded with the people of the sacred mountain, first using the spirit bone to trick them into agreeing to form a pact, then framing them for causing trouble. This way, they could form a pact with Lord Tailin without having to give up the spirit bone.
What a deep scheme!
Beside him, the old doctor was choking on his breath.
He looked up and met Shaoyi's gaze.
That was all it took to look.
The old doctor's heart skipped a beat.
It's Yunyun.
After the Rejuvenating Pill lost its effectiveness, its true nature was revealed...
Lord Yinghua...
Lord Yinghua has seen Yunyun's true form!
"The master is awake! The master is awake!"
Sudden.
Yingming shouted happily.
"Sister Sang'er, quickly bring the cub to our adults to see." The adults will be overjoyed when they find out.
Bai Sang'er rolled her eyes at him.
"The cubs are still in the greenhouse and shouldn't be exposed to drafts. Now that the adults are awake, are you worried about not having a chance to see the cubs?"
"Too."
Ying Ming smiled sheepishly.
"Then I'll go and see the master."
He needs to tell the adults about this right away!
Seeing the boy run off into the distance, the old doctor looked at Shao Yi and asked, "Sir, should we go and... ask him?"
"No rush, we can talk about it when we get back to Yuanzhou."
The old doctor nodded.
The little fox cubs are still here.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
......
"My lord, did you hear that? The clan leader has given birth to a cub safely! Our Dijiang clan has an heir!"
Yingming kept chattering on and on.
"The patriarch laid eight eggs, four of which were adults."
"The little guy is very weak and is still in the greenhouse."
"Sir, would you like to get up and go take a look?"
Ying Hua couldn't hear what he was saying.
His spiritual energy was depleted, and his exhausted Qi Sea left him feeling weak and his mind foggy.
The scene from that day is still vivid in my mind.
He dealt with Taihao.
I felt a powerful pressure sweep across the entire area.
He was not injured; on the contrary, the Taihao clan members were all seriously injured on the ground.
after......
Yinghua felt bitter.
He knew early on that she had traces of the Rejuvenating Pill on her body.
The Rejuvenating Pill was created to preserve the bloodline by cutting open the mother's womb, extracting the pill for medicinal use, and concealing the true form.
He hadn't seen her true form, but the oppressive aura she exuded was so overwhelming that even Taihao was powerless to resist...
If it weren't for the calamity of his clan's extermination, he couldn't think of anything else.
Later, seeing that the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill on her body were gradually collapsing, he exhausted his Qi Sea to protect her spiritual veins, which finally stabilized the rampant spiritual energy.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Ying Hua then realized what was happening.
"How is the clan leader?" he asked.
This is not the back mountain, so it's likely that Yingzhao had already heard the news and rushed over.
"My lord, you are confused. I just said that the chieftain has just given birth to a cub and is still sleeping."
"That's good."
Ying Hua had a bit of a headache.
With such a commotion, I don't know how to explain this to Yingzhao. It will probably take a lot of effort to silence them.
"I gonna go see."
"My lord!" Ying Ming was frantic with worry: "The clan leader is fine. The old doctor said he's just exhausted. It would be best if you didn't disturb him. Why don't you go check on the cubs?"
"Alright."
However, when Ying Hua arrived at the greenhouse and saw the eight eggs lined up, even he, who was usually calm and composed, was suddenly stunned.
"This cub is..."
Ying Ming felt extremely distressed: "The mother and baby were born before they were full term. The witch doctor even said that they were born weak and deficient and needed to be carefully cared for."
Ying Hua stood there, stunned.
The four eggs were huddled together, looking out of place among the other eggs. They were not only small and pitiful, but also quite grayish.
This is...this is his cub?
He hadn't held out much hope, but the unexpected turn of events caught him completely off guard, leaving him no time to react.
He couldn't help but reach out and place his fingertips on the eggs, afraid of hurting them with any force.
Suddenly, the little dragon egg moved slightly.
It seemed to sense his presence and swayed inside.
Ying Ming's eyes lit up: "My lord, the cub just moved, did you see it?"
Yinghua's heart softened.
He probed into the spiritual energy and could feel the cub's weak response to him.
This feeling is too wonderful.
This is his cub, who is connected to him by blood.
And he was going to be a father...
"Isn't Your Excellency happy? Our Dijiang clan is going to have a young clan leader. We finally have something to look forward to."
"What young clan leader? The cubs haven't even been born yet. It's too early to talk about these things."
Moreover, succeeding the clan is a difficult task, and all he wants is for the cub to grow up safely; he asks for nothing else.
Ying Hua chuckled.
In the past, whenever he attended banquets, he would see those fathers spoiling their young children and would mock them for being too indulgent.
Now that it's my turn, I realize that it's something that ordinary people can't understand.
"By the way, how is Taihao Clan doing these days?"
Such a big thing has happened, it needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Ying Ming was just about to bring this up when it was mentioned.
"My lord, you don't know, the Taihao clan has started a commotion, and Lady Rongji is having a headache."
Ying Ming told him what he knew.
Yingzhao said that it was Taihao who caused trouble, allowing his enemies to come and steal the spirit bones.
Taihao said that Yingzhao and the people of Shenshan colluded to set a trap and trick people into forming a contract.
"That's not all. What's even more outrageous is that the two sides kept arguing and couldn't reach an agreement, so they even wanted to interrogate the clan leader in public!"
Ying Hua's eyes darkened.
"and then?"
"Lady Shenji said that the chieftain is a lowly outsider and must be severely tortured until the truth is revealed before she will stop."
"presumptuous!"
"This is not just being presumptuous. Even if the clan leader hadn't established a clan, it wouldn't be their place to interrogate us. Do they think we, the Dijiang clan, are dead?"
Ying Ming said indignantly:
"If it weren't for Lord Shaoyi's arrival, this matter wouldn't have been resolved. Strangely enough, it seems that Lady Taihao and Lord Shaoyi were old acquaintances, which is why the matter was dropped."
Shaoyi...
Ying Hua didn't have a strong impression of this person.
All that is known is that he was in charge of the Central Plains, and that his other partners also respected him greatly.
However, none of these matters.
"The Ji you just mentioned, is she Yingrong's adopted eldest daughter?"
"That's right. Lady Rongji took out the spirit bone to invite the Taihao clan to Fenglin, hoping to arrange a sworn brotherhood between Lady Shenji and Lady Tailin."
"Now that the spirit bone has been lost, the matter of forming a contract is over. Even if a contract is formed, Lord Tailin has injured his Qi Sea, so he will not be able to perform the grand ceremony of heaven and earth."
The little fox's true form is tiny.
Yingzhao's true form is quite large.
If one cannot maintain one's human form, then one certainly cannot perform the grand ceremony.
Ying Hua frowned and pondered.
Is it really true that the spiritual bones have been lost?
That day, after the oppressive force swept over the back mountain, everyone was seriously injured and fell unconscious.
Who exactly took the spirit bone?
......
"Who exactly took the spirit bone?"
The little foxes couldn't understand it either.
“Brother, I have thought about it carefully. It is of no benefit whatsoever for Yingzhao to steal the spirit bone. If the master is still seriously injured, he will not be able to perform the grand ceremony. Isn’t this just a thankless task?”
Our ancestors said it wasn't Yingzhao who took the dragon bone.
After returning, they thought about it carefully and realized that it did seem to be true.
If it really is an English move.
Why go through all this trouble just to break the contract?
Don't you want to form a bond with those adults?
Why did Na Ji make such a fuss about dying?
Makes no sense.
That doesn't make any sense.
"Brother, it seems that Lord Tailin has woken up."
The young disciple came out of the room and called out.
Upon hearing this, Taiheng quickly stood up.
"I'll go check on the adults."
He forced himself to open the door, and knelt down as soon as he stepped inside.
"My lord, we have failed in our duty and lost the spirit bone."
On the bed, the little fox slowly opened its eyes.
Taiheng felt as if all the blood in his body had stopped flowing.
The adult had his tail cut off and was barely clinging to life, only surviving thanks to the healing power of this spiritual bone.
Unexpectedly, he lost the spirit bone, and the master's injury...
Just thinking about it made Taiheng feel terribly guilty.
The little fox jumped off the bed, slowly walked up to him, and its big tail swept across his hands, which were lying on the ground.
"grown ups......"
Surprisingly, the adults didn't blame him.
Seeing this, Taiheng became even more distressed.
The Taihao clan had long resided on the sacred mountain, but now they had been driven out and had nowhere to live in the entire land of the Nine Provinces and Four Seas.
Now, there is only endless confusion.
He was only seventeen, but this burden weighed heavily on his heart.
However, he still revealed his plan: "My lord, we have encountered the ancestor of the Azure Phoenix Clan. The ancestor said that Yuanzhou is a good place. Although it is not wealthy, it is a peaceful place. Why don't we set up our territory in Yuanzhou?"
With their ancestors protecting them, they have nothing to fear from being bullied.
The little fox jumped back onto the bed.
Getting out of bed had exhausted his remaining strength. He closed his eyes, rested his head on his big tail, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Taiheng carefully got up, not daring to linger.
Unbeknownst to him, the little fox's tail twitched slightly the moment he closed the door.
At the same time, the little fox in the spirit realm did the exact same thing.
This action, however, caused him to transform into a human form.
Her long hair flowed in a winding stream, and she wore a feathered crown.
That kind of beauty is truly unique and captivating.
This beauty is not elegant, it is alluring, it is bewitching.
Especially those eyes, with upturned corners, seemingly devoid of emotion yet speaking of love; just one glance could make one forget the vast ocean and willingly sink into its depths.
Tai Lin slowly took a step forward.
This is the spiritual realm of the spirit fox clan.
It was a small world created by our ancestors to please their forefathers.
This small world is not restricted by time or place; one can freely enter and exit, and can also store rare and precious treasures without them being stolen by outsiders.
He took over this spiritual realm on the day his ancestor reached the end of his lifespan.
The place within the spirit realm is utterly desolate.
A nest-like house, a small courtyard. The trees on the south wall of the courtyard have long since withered, and the well under the trees is also long gone, covered with moss.
Tai Lin walked to the well.
The spiritual energy flowed from my fingertips and disappeared into the well.
But after a long while, there was still no movement from the well.
His handsome brows furrowed slightly.
The spiritual energy passed through the gaps in the fingers and all fell into the well.
The wellhead was lifeless.
what's the situation?
Unwilling to give up, he tried again.
He clearly remembered that he had placed the remains in the well.
That day, the noise of the formation breaking woke him up.
He personally retrieved the spirit bones.
It still contains a considerable amount of spiritual energy, enough to heal injuries.
now.
Gone?
......
Here.
Mu Yunyun sat by the well, staring at the countless rare and precious treasures that had appeared inside, which were almost blinding to her.
She's back to level six!
The mysterious well has returned.
Not only that, she only glanced curiously into the well and discovered these great treasures.
So this is the reward for advancing to the sixth rank?
She hadn't looked at this well in a long time.
I originally thought it was a dry well.
Who would have thought that this well could produce such rare and precious treasures?
These rare and precious materials are invaluable for alchemy and forging!
They're going to make a killing!
and many more.
As if she had seen something, Mu Yunyun rummaged through the group of rare and precious treasures.
"It's a spirit bone!"
It looked like a withered tree branch, but the spiritual energy it contained made her recognize it at a glance!
"So this is what a spirit bone is?"
She looked delighted.
With the spiritual energy within this spiritual bone, she might be able to cultivate in the space.
It's even possible to break through to the seventh rank!
This well is truly a treasure!
Who knows what kind of divine treasures will be born next time?
Does that mean they give birth every so often?
Like giving birth to cubs?
Is this all there is to a lifetime?
Mu Yunyun didn't dare to dream too much; she just wanted to have one child at a time, she wasn't greedy.
......
Gone.
It's all gone.
Tai Lin's fox ears popped out in anxiety.
The ancestor placed rare and precious treasures in the nest, allowing him to take them at will.
He had already accepted this spiritual realm, so he naturally did not want to be too extravagant. Therefore, he sealed all these treasures in the well and would never take them out unless absolutely necessary.
did not expect......
After being thrown into this well, even his remains disappeared...
