Chapter 98: Chapter 84: Xiaobai’s Second Tail—Accidentally Seizing Heaven and Earth Qi, The Strongest Dao Foundation!

He was deeply cunning, so of course he wouldn’t volunteer to ask for the Heaven and Earth Qi. That would be too obvious. Better let someone else make the request, and with his talent, he’d reap the benefit regardless.

”Yeah, we’ve seen enough. Doubt there’ll be more Heaven and Earth Qi, so let’s just head back to the sect!”

Zhao Fuhu nodded, feeling pretty hopeful inside.

Of the four cultivators with Dual Spirit Roots, his talent was the best—he had Anomalous Thunder Dual Spirit Roots. His future prospects were even greater!

As long as the sect got involved, his share of Heaven and Earth Qi was secured.

”Alright, let’s go back!”

Ling Caiyin nodded, too.

”Brother Lin, you got eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi. You earned them with your own strength. Ziyue hopes you... won’t return to the sect!”

Hearing how all the fellow disciples were already planning how to split Brother Lin’s Heaven and Earth Qi, Gao Ziyue stayed quiet, praying silently in her heart.

She knew.

A single strand of Heaven and Earth Qi could forge the strongest Dao Foundation, hugely increasing the odds of advancing to Nascent Soul Stage in the future!

Rumor has it...

Back in the day, Sect Leader Su of the Liuyun Immortal Sect had, by chance, obtained a strand of Heaven and Earth Qi—and it only took him a little over a hundred years to reach Nascent Soul Stage!

That shows...

Just how crucial Heaven and Earth Qi truly was!

If Brother Lin goes back, the sect higher-ups will surely persuade—or even pressure—him to hand over seven, maybe all eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi, giving them to more ”gifted” disciples to strengthen the sect’s potential!

But this was earned by Brother Lin’s own hard work. She didn’t want him to give them up.

.......

”Shit! There’s a Foundation Establishment Cultivator coming after us!”

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t dare look back. He kept unleashing Wind and Thunder Movement, rocketing forward, but he could feel that the magical power in his Dantian was burning up fast.

At that moment—

Lin Chang’sheng noticed the little white fox in his arms squirming, then opening its mouth to spit out a white beam, shrouding Lin Chang’sheng in light. In the next instant, the scenery around him flipped, leaving him dizzy!

In the very next moment—

Lin Chang’sheng realized he was standing near White Stone Mountain. A river ran below, and he stood atop a big boulder, little white fox in his arms. The cool breeze hit his face; all he could hear was the rush of flowing water.

”Where is this place?”

Lin Chang’sheng blinked, scanning his surroundings.

”Xiaobai, wake up!”

Glancing at the fox in his arms, Lin Chang’sheng saw Xiaobai squinting, head lolling, faint traces of nurturing spiritual energy emanating from its body!

”Ying~~~”

Xiaobai blinked at Lin Chang’sheng. Its big eyes fluttered, then suddenly it opened its mouth and spat out a white pearl. The pearl glittered twice—releasing two orbs of light that hovered in front of Lin Chang’sheng!

These two light orbs were about the size of eggs, radiating thick nurturing spiritual energy, incredibly refreshing.

”Heaven and Earth Qi!”

Seeing the two strands of Heaven and Earth Qi, Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes lit up. ”Xiaobai, these are for me?” he asked.

”Ying ying ying!”

Xiaobai weakly nodded, apology showing in its big eyes, then slumped over and fell into a deep sleep.

”Two strands of Heaven and Earth Qi isn’t bad at all. Might as well stow them for now!”

”With these, I can build the strongest Dao Foundation, too!”

Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand, pulled out two white porcelain bottles, and tucked away the two strands of Heaven and Earth Qi.

Lin Chang’sheng was well aware—

He’d gotten the Heaven and Earth Qi in full view of so many people. Who knows how many would track him down—he couldn’t return to the sect now.

Besides—

He’d have to change his identity to avoid the covetous eyes of both Righteous and Evil Dao.

”Looks like Xiaobai spirited me far away from the Celestial Pit. For now, the most important thing is figuring out where I am, then finding a place to absorb the Heaven and Earth Qi!”

Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes flashed as he thought to himself.

He set Xiaobai in the cage on his back. At the moment, Xiaobai seemed completely asleep; there was nothing he could do to help.

........

One day later—

Lin Chang’sheng stood at the edge of a courtyard; he’d managed to sneak into a mundane city.

He discovered he was now a thousand miles from Giant Whale City and the Celestial Pit.

”A thousand miles from the Celestial Pit still isn’t safe. Gotta keep moving!”

Lin Chang’sheng made up his mind and headed deeper into the mountains.

He had plenty of food and supplies in his storage bag—enough to get by. First thing’s first, absorb that Heaven and Earth Qi!

Five days later—

In a remote mountaintop cliff, Lin Chang’sheng found a natural stone cave, cleaned it out, and set it up as his place for closed-door cultivation.

The little white fox was still deep asleep, breathing steadily.

After setting Xiaobai off to the side, Lin Chang’sheng took out the Heaven and Earth Qi, ready to absorb it.

He chiseled a stone platform, sat cross-legged atop it, and pulled out a porcelain bottle.

Twisting open the stopper, a dense surge of Light Spirit Qi filled the cave.

”Murong Tian, anything I should know when absorbing this Heaven and Earth Qi?”

Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes flashed as he pulled out the Myriad Souls Banner, released Murong Tian’s soul, and asked.

”Is that... Heaven and Earth Qi?”

Seeing the Heaven and Earth Qi in Lin Chang’sheng’s hand, Murong Tian’s face was stunned with envy. ”No big taboos. Just place both palms together and circulate your Cultivation Technique to absorb. Damn shame my strand of Heaven and Earth Qi was snatched by that bastard Su Changkong. If not, I’d have reached Nascent Soul myself. I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

”Got it!”

Lin Chang’sheng nodded, put away Murong Tian’s soul, joined both palms around the Heaven and Earth Qi, and began using the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique!

As the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique flowed through him, Lin Chang’sheng could feel the Heaven and Earth Qi absorbing into his body, continually nourishing his meridians and merging into them. He noticed that this Heaven and Earth Qi was making his meridians more flexible, more resilient!

Moreover—

This Heaven and Earth Qi seemed to contain a magical force, making the magical power within his Dantian even more pure!

Once again, turning quantity into quality!!

At the same time—

This Heaven and Earth Qi was actually sharpening Lin Chang’sheng’s Divine Sense, making it more focused and condensed. His body and bones were also enhanced at the same time!

”No wonder they say Heaven and Earth Qi can upgrade every aspect of the body!”

Lin Chang’sheng keenly sensed the changes in himself, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes.

Time passed.

Before he knew it, a month had gone by. Lin Chang’sheng opened his eyes; they were radiant, shining with a divine glow!

Now, his skin glimmered with a faint light, all around him an indescribable air of mystique swirling!

”This Heaven and Earth Qi is solid gold!”

”It not only helped me forge the strongest Dao Foundation, but it advanced my cultivation to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer!”

Lin Chang’sheng slowly stood, feeling the enormous transformation within him, overflowing with joy.

His meridians were tougher, able to hold more magical power; in his Dantian, the magical power had become more refined and pure—it had shifted from mist form to liquid!

Lin Chang’sheng had asked Murong Tian—

When magical power turns liquid, it means the most powerful Dao Foundation is formed, since Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ magical power is liquid!

”Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, magical power inside is liquid already!”

”Power purity rivals that of a fresh Foundation Establishment Cultivator! Hell yeah!”

Lin Chang’sheng savored the dense liquid magical power in his Dantian with real satisfaction. Looking over at Xiaobai, he walked up and nudged it. ”Xiaobai!”

No response—Xiaobai was still sound asleep.

”Huh?”

”Did Xiaobai grow another tail? How can it sprout an extra tail?”

Suddenly, Lin Chang’sheng realized that where Xiaobai’s tail was, a small, pink, finger-length nub had appeared—fuzzy and clearly the start of a new, mini tail!

”A Two-tailed Fox?”

Staring at the sleeping Xiaobai, Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes shot wide in shock.

He’d heard all about it—

The Fox Race only gets stronger with more tails; their king is the mighty Nine-tailed Fox!

”Xiaobai gave me two strands of Heaven and Earth Qi... so after it absorbed the other six, it grew another tail?”

Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes narrowed in thought.

”Alright, I’ll absorb all the Essence Pills from my storage bag, raise my cultivation to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, then see if Xiaobai wakes up!”

Lin Chang’sheng looked at the sleeping Xiaobai, thinking to himself.

From Xiaobai being able to spit out pearls, and snatch eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi from the Celestial Pit—it was obvious Xiaobai’s identity wasn’t ordinary.

Maybe it was wounded, and needed time to recover.
