Unlike a Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, an Eight-Tailed Ice Fox had a much harder time reaching the Dou Sheng realm. Bloodline alone could not have carried the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint before him to three-star Dou Sheng. He must have encountered some extraordinary opportunities along the way.
But Xiao Ming had no intention of prying. Everyone had their own fortune.
After they talked for a while, the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint gained a better sense of Xiao Ming's character and understood why he had come.
Rather than answer him immediately, he asked a question of his own.
"May I ask which faction in the Central Plains you belong to, Mr. Xiao Ming?"
"Which faction?"
Xiao Ming frowned at the question.
The Fallen God Ice Plain was rich in Ice Attribute Heaven and Earth Energy, making it an excellent place for Ice Attribute Magical Beasts to cultivate. As a result, its Magical Beast Families were quite powerful.
But the Fallen God Ice Plain was cut off from the outside world, which knew little about it.
Likewise, its inhabitants knew little about the outside world. They were most familiar with the nearby Ice Glass Mansion, followed by the major powers of the Central Plains.
Why ask about his faction now? Had the old fox seen his interest in the Snow Leaf White Lotus Seed and decided to check whether the power behind him was strong enough to deter them from silencing him?
The Nine-Tailed Fox Saint seemed to read Xiao Ming's doubts. He smiled.
"In my youth, I traveled beyond the Fallen God Ice Plain to gain experience, so I know a little about the factions of the Central Plains. I was merely curious."
"I see." Xiao Ming nodded and told him where he came from.
"I'm an elder of the Central Plains Pill Tower."
