Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Luoxiao Grotto Heaven is renowned far and wide.

As a member of the White Fox Race, it naturally understands this.

Moreover,

it had ventured into Luoxiao Grotto Heaven in the past, battling alongside a group of cultivators.

The chances found in this Grotto Heaven are leagues beyond those in Songyang Cave Heaven.

Ultimately, Songyang Cave Heaven is just a place housing a certain array.

It appears mysterious and unfathomable, but speaking frankly, inside there’s merely a forest of Tao Steles—and the insights on the steles are almost never useful.

Besides that, there are only some low-grade Second Tier Spiritual Objects.

Oh...and there’s the Five Elements Tao Stele, which does have value for insight.

But the Five Elements Tao Stele is integrated with the forest of steles, making it impossible to take away.

Hence.

When Songyang Cave Heaven emerged, Yan Kingdom’s sects meddled very little, as most were aware of the cave’s secrets, thus reluctant to get involved.

As for Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, it’s a different story.

This place used to be the site of Songyang Sect’s seventy-nine peaks.

What are the seventy-nine peaks of Lingyun?

Places akin to the twelve inner peaks of the Lingyin Sect.

The significance is easy to surmise.

During the height of Songyang Sect, each inner peak represented a lineage, abundant in Spiritual Qi like a fog, and was planted with countless rare Spiritual Medicines, raising many Auspicious Beasts.

Although the sect has been gone for a thousand years, many secret treasures still remain on those seventy-nine peaks!

”Chirp chirp, chirp chirp! (What should I do now!)”

The little white fox anxiously spun around.

Even though there are numerous treasures within Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, it’s teeming with dangers!

Not to mention the mountain guardian spirit beasts that have long become intelligent, the lingering ancient restrictions on the seventy-nine peaks alone can massacre countless Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Especially since Yan Kingdom’s five major powers have gathered.

It’s practically a meat grinder!

And Qing Jun, the wicked little girl, though tough-skinned, she’s not very bright!

What if she dies in there?

”No way! Absolutely not!”

Anxiety flickered in the little white fox’s eyes.

Its recovery depends entirely on the accidental spiritual essence emanating from Qing Jun.

Over the past months, by sticking close to Qing Jun, the fox’s injuries have improved considerably.

This little girl is now its ”human-shaped tonic”.

If the medicine pot breaks, where would it find another little girl?

”Must stop her! Can’t let her go kill herself!”

Upon thinking this.

The little white fox couldn’t afford to hesitate.

Watching Qing Jun about to stuff dried meat into her mouth, it gritted its teeth and darted forward as a flash of white.

”Awwoo! Awwoo!”

(Don’t go! It’s dangerous there! People will die!)

The little white fox leapt onto the stone table, gesturing with its front paws in a throat-slitting motion, then pointed outside and shook its head vigorously.

To add persuasion, it even feigned twitching limbs in a tragic death scene.

Its acting was impressive, it was making every effort.

However.

It overestimated Qing Jun’s understanding and underestimated Qing Jun’s mind.

”Huh?”

With dried meat in hand, Qing Jun watched the white fox rolling and twitching on the table, blinking her big eyes in fascination,

”Little White, are you...dancing for me? So funny! Like a white fuzzy caterpillar!”

”Awo!!!” (You fool! I’m saying it’s dangerous there! Don’t go!)

The little white fox was almost choked with anger.

Seeing its gestures failing, it steeled its heart, lunging forward to bite Qing Jun’s sleeve, pulling desperately inward.

”You mustn’t go! Back indoors with me now!”

It clung tight to the ground with all four paws, its body taut like a bow, trying to stop the little girl from leaving home.

However...

She didn’t budge an inch.

Qing Jun looked down at the fox dangling from her sleeve like an ornament, realizing something.

Hey?

Wasn’t she used to cling to her master like this? Like a little accessory hanging on her master.

Seems the little white fox wouldn’t want her to leave!

”Oh—I got it!”

Qing Jun smiled, rubbing the little fox’s head,

”Little White, are you craving? Heard there’s delicious food there, and you’re sticking to me wanting to come along, right?”

”Awo??” (Who’s sticking to you?!)

The little fox hesitated, unable to release its bite in time.

Just then, Qing Jun turned her head, shouting to Chen Ye who just came out with a packed bag:

”Master! Master!”

”Little White is crying to come with us! Look, it’s hanging on me and won’t let go! Can’t chase him off!”

Chen Ye heard this, glancing over.

He saw the entirely snow-white fox biting Qing Jun and refused to let go.

”This little creature...”

Chen Ye was somewhat surprised.

Usually, this fox is very aloof, not even letting others touch it apart from eating Spirit Fruit.

Today, it’s clingy like this?

”Seems it’s truly eager to see the world.”

Chen Ye chuckled, not giving it much thought.

The White Fox Race is inherently wise, maybe sensing some chance belonging to it inside Luoxiao Grotto Heaven.

”Since it’s this persistent, let’s bring it along.”

Chen Ye waved his sleeve decisively,

”However, Qing Jun, it’s your responsibility since you’re bringing it along, take care of it during the journey, don’t let it get lost.”

”Sure, Master! I’ll take good care of it!”

Qing Jun chuckled, grabbed the little fox’s neck scruff, and swiftly tucked it into her small bag.

”Be good, Little White, let’s go feast together!”

”...”

The little fox was completely bewildered.

Peering through the cloth bag’s gap, it watched the Cangli Courtyard grow distant, wanting to cry but had no tears.

I only meant to dissuade this fool!

Forget it!

Going along might be a good thing after all.
