Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 976 Treasure Location!

Tang Li Xue finally sighed in relief after Xiʼer dissolved all of the nascent souls of those Nascent Soul Stage Masters from Yama Palace with her black fog-like death energy.

Tang Li Xue also noticed a few important things after her team fought against Nascent Soul Stage Masters several times.

First, most of the Nascent Soul Stage Masters had mastered the use of their Martial Soul, so they could merge their Martial Soul with their spirit treasures, such as weapons or armor, to increase their defense or attack power.

For example, Chief Head Chi had actually merged his Martial Soul with his golden spirit armor and dual golden maces, which increased his physical defense and attack to an astonishing level.

If not for Tang Li Xueʼs [Soul Slaying Sword], which heavily injured Chief Head Chiʼs nascent soul and greatly weakened the power of his Martial Soul, then Xiʼer might not be able to defeat him even after she borrowed Yayaʼs [Ocean God Trident].

As for those two groups of Nascent Soul Stage Masters, they also merged their Martial Souls with their spirit weapons, but their spirit weapons got shattered in their previous fierce battle against each other.

That was also one of the reasons why Xiʼer, Yaya, and Lucia could defeat all of them so easily just now.

Second, there was actually a huge disparity in power between the Nascent Soul Stage Masters who could already wield the Profound Law and the Nascent Soul Stage Masters who had not learned how to wield the Profound Law!

The previous two groups of Nascent Soul Stage Masters were examples of the masters who had not learned how to use the Profound Law yet.

While Chief Head Chi and Miracle Doctor Xu were examples of the master who could already wield the Profound Law properly.

This disparity was almost the same as the difference between the Beast Lords who could use Domain and the Beast Lords who could not use Domain.

The strength difference between them was unbelievably huge, like heaven and earth.

Tang Li Xue was sure that Chief Head Chi or Miracle Doctor Xu could defeat those two groups of Nascent Soul Stage Masters with ease, even if they were still in their prime condition.

ʼProfound Law and Domain, huh... So, the two of them are really closely related to each other. Sigh, forget it~! I still have to focus on practicing [Void Divinities Refining Method] first, so I can recover as soon as possible.ʼ Tang Li Xue shook her head to push away all of her distracting thoughts.

”Sister Xue~! Look at this!” Xiʼer excitedly brought two leather skins to Tang Li Xue after she had rummaged through the spatial rings she obtained from the previous two groups of Nascent Soul Stage Masters.

”These are... really the fragments of a treasure map?!” Tang Li Xue exclaimed after she checked the two leather skins and tried to combine them.

However, Tang Li Xue was quickly disappointed as she muttered again: ”Unfortunately, this treasure map is still incomplete. These two map fragments only show two-thirds of the map. If we want to exact location of the hidden treasures, we still need to find the missing one-third of the map.”

Xiʼer frowned a bit in dissatisfaction before she took out the map of the entire Azure Mist Continent and began to compare it with the incomplete treasure map.

Tang Li Xue laughed in amusement when she saw Xiʼerʼs stubborn expression.

”All right, letʼs quickly get away from here first! It would be bad for us if their reinforcement came here and managed to find us.” Tang Li Xue reminded Xiʼer and the others.

Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Xiʼer hastily jumped onto Luciaʼs back before Lucia flapped her wings rapidly, then soared into the sky with breakneck speed.

After Lucia flew thousands of miles away from the previous battlefield location, Xiʼer suddenly yelled out loud: ”Found it~!”

Tang Li Xue and Yaya, who were sleepily dozing off, were woken up by Xiʼerʼs shout.

”What?! What did you find? Did you find the enemies coming at us?!” Tang Li Xue asked in a solemn tone.

”Err, no... Not that. But I managed to find the location of the treasure based on the information from the treasure mapʼs fragments!” Xiʼer excitedly reported to Tang Li Xue.

”Really?!” Tang Li Xue hastily approached Xiʼer and looked at the map in Xiʼerʼs hands.

”Look at this, Sister Xue. This location is very similar to the location shown in the treasure mapʼs fragments!” Xiʼer said while pointing her finger at the Azure Mist Continentʼs map.

”Chanyang Mountain Ranges?!” Tang Li Xue muttered softly while comparing the treasure mapʼs fragments with the Chanyang Mountain Ranges shown in the Azure Mist Continentʼs map.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply and spoke again: ”But Chanyang Mountain Ranges are so big. It should be impossible for us to find the hidden treasures just by searching randomly at Chanyang Mountain Ranges.”

Xiʼer still smiled confidently as she said: ”Sister Xue, did you forget about Little Lokiʼs ability?”

”Ah, I see~! So, you want Little Loki to use its treasure-finding ability to find the location of the hidden treasures!” Tang Li Xue immediately realized Xiʼerʼs intention.

However, Tang Li Xue was still very hesitant about whether to look for the hidden treasures or not.

The main reason for that was because it was too time-consuming!

Not to mention that they would need to take a detour again to reach the Chanyang Mountain Ranges, which would waste several days of their time, there was also no guarantee that they would definitely find the hidden treasures even with Little Lokiʼs help.

It would be a completely different story if the treasure map were complete. Tang Li Xue surely would not hesitate like this.

Xiʼer could see Tang Li Xueʼs hesitation.

Xiʼer sighed helplessly as she decided to honestly explain to Tang Li Xue: ”Sister Xue, do you know how long it will take to train those ghost soldiers to reach the Core Formation Stage?”

Tang Li Xue was caught completely off guard when Xiʼer suddenly changed the topic and asked about the ghost soldiersʼ training instead.

”Err, maybe around one year or so?” Tang Li Xue guessed randomly.

Xiʼer shook her head and replied: ”It would take at least ten years for their strength to reach the Core Formation Stage.”

Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise and exclaimed: ”What?! Ten years?! That is too long!”

Xiʼer rolled her eyes when she heard Tang Li Xueʼs words.

Was ten years to reach the Core Formation Stage too long?

Nope!

For normal people, it would take five years to complete the Body Tempering Stage, ten years to complete the Qi Condensation Stage, twenty years to complete the Acupuncture Opening Stage, and forty years to complete the Foundation Establishment Stage before they could break through and reach the Core Formation Stage.

A total of 75 years!

Not to mention, they would definitely face some bottlenecks at some points, so they would surely take much longer than 75 years to reach the Core Formation Stage.

Of course, the heaven-defying geniuses like Xiao Hei were an exception.

In short, 10 years to train those ghost soldiers to reach the Core Formation Stage was actually not long at all!

But for Tang Li Xue, 10 years was far too long!

Because after 10 years, Tang Li Xue would have already become strong enough that she no longer needs those ghost soldiersʼ help anymore.

Xiʼer quickly added: ”But donʼt worry, Sister Xue. We can speed up the training process if you really want to.”

”What?! We can actually speed up the training process?!” Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in shock again.

Xiʼer nodded and said: ”That is right! But we have to consume this...”

Xiʼer imitated the gesture shown by Tang Li Xue before and made a coin sign with her thumb and index finger.

Tang Li Xueʼs pink lips twitched slightly when she saw Xiʼerʼs coin sign.

She immediately understood that to accelerate the ghost soldiersʼ training, she would have to consume spirit stones or Yuan Coins.

”How many do you need?” Tang Li Xue asked helplessly.

”The more, the better. With sufficient resources, all of them can even reach the Core Formation Stage in only a few months or so.” Xiʼer replied in a tone filled with self-confidence.

Tang Li Xueʼs topaz blue eyes shone brightly in excitement after she heard Xiʼerʼs reply, but they quickly dimmed again.

Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth as she took out her space pouch and gave most of the Yuan Coins stored in her spare pouch to Xiʼer and told her: ”Use these Yuan Coins first.”

These Yuan Coins were what she got from the previous battle in Capital City, Chief Head Chi, and two groups of Nascent Soul Stage Masters.

At first, Tang Li Xue proudly thought that she had finally become a millionaire, but who knew that her wallet actually deflated again, and she went back to being poor right now?!

Xiʼer took the Yuan Coins from Tang Li Xue, but she did not store them in her spatial ring.

Xiʼer threw all of the Yuan Coins into the space within her [Sword of Disaster] instead.

In that instant, all the Yuan Coins that entered the [Sword of Disaster] evaporated. The density and purity of the Death Energy inside the [Sword of Disaster] quickly increased several times, which in turn also made the training speed of those ghost soldiers increase many times.

When Tang Li Xue sniffled as she really wanted to cry so badly when she saw a dozen Yuan Coins left in her space pouch.

Xiʼer patted Tang Li Xueʼs shoulder and tried to coax her by saying: ”Donʼt worry, Sister Xue! As long as we can find the hidden treasures, we will surely become rich again!”

Tang Li Xueʼs topaz blue eyes brightened again as she waved her fist and declared: ”You are right! Letʼs go and find the treasures now!”

Xiʼer did not dare to say it to not ruin Tang Li Xueʼs mood, but actually, they would probably have to spend most of the treasures they would get later to speed up the ghost soldiersʼ training again.
