Fox Spirit? Draining My Vital Yang? [Please Follow]

Lin Changsheng stepped forward and poked the little white fox with a stick.

The white fox did not move.

"Passed out?"

Lin Changsheng frowned. He remembered that yesterday afternoon, the little white fox had still been eating pears and bouncing about full of life. How had it suddenly passed out?

He immediately sent true qi into the little white fox, hoping to nourish its body.

"Bzzzzz~~~"

At that moment, Lin Changsheng was horrified to discover that inside the white fox's body was something like a terrifying vortex. The true qi he sent in surged into the little white fox's body in an instant, like the Yellow River bursting its banks!

"What's going on?"

Lin Changsheng's heart sank. He immediately struck with an Air-Splitting Palm from his left hand, slamming it toward the little fox's head!

Bang!

True qi surged. Lin Changsheng's palm struck the little white fox's head, yet the force rebounded against him. However, that rebounding force also separated Lin Changsheng from the little white fox.

After its head took a heavy blow, the little white fox opened its eyes and gazed at Lin Changsheng gloomily, seeming deeply wronged.

"Harvesting yin to replenish yang?"

"As expected of a fox spirit!"

Lin Changsheng retreated several steps and stared at the little white fox in horror, cold sweat streaming down his back. He had not expected that single suck to drain half the true qi from his dantian!

Had he not struck its head with his palm, would even all the yang energy in his body have been gone in the end?

"That was close!"

Lin Changsheng immediately grabbed a stick and pried the little white fox toward the door, muttering as he did so. "You fox spirit, I kindly saved you, yet you tried to suck away my primordial yang! Get out! Get out of here!"

Lin Changsheng used the stick to shove and prod the little white fox out the door.

"Ying ying ying~~~"

"Ying ying ying!!"

The little white fox looked at Lin Changsheng. It seemed to understand his words, and its large eyes actually held grievance and guilt, making it seem very human. It hugged Lin Changsheng's stick tightly, refusing to let go or leave through the door.

"Get away! You nearly sucked me dry!"

Seeing the little white fox clutching the stick without letting go, Lin Changsheng immediately tossed away even the stick. With a bang, he shut the door.

"That scared me to death! I'd better take a Tiger Blood Pill to calm my nerves first!"

Lin Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bed. After calming himself slightly, he took out a Tiger Blood Pill and tossed it into his mouth.

Before long, surging medicinal power filled every meridian in his body. Lin Changsheng circulated the Sun-Moon Breathing Method, absorbing that medicinal power and gradually converting it into true qi.

Lin Changsheng swallowed a full five Tiger Blood Pills before he slightly recovered the true qi he had lost.

"My true qi has recovered. Time to go eat breakfast and buy some firecrackers to test out!"

After recovering his true qi, Lin Changsheng immediately rose to his feet, packed away his banknotes, hid the gold ingots, and opened the door. Yet he saw the white fox lying by the entrance, staring at him with large eyes full of guilt and pitiful pleading.

"You should leave."

"I'm afraid you'll suck me again!"

Lin Changsheng rolled his eyes at the little white fox, locked the door, and turned to leave.

"Ying ying ying~~~"

Seeing Lin Changsheng leave without even turning his head, the little white fox let out a whimper. It turned to look at Lin Changsheng's home, then immediately leaped through the window and entered. Reaching the main room, it picked up a pear and began gnawing on it.

After finishing the pear, the little white fox entered the room and sat on Lin Changsheng's bed, its large eyes rolling round and round.

Drunken Fragrance Tower.

[Cultivation: Martial Grandmaster Realm (2467/62500)]

"Once I reached the Martial Grandmaster Realm, cultivation experience has been rising so slowly!"

"When I was in the First-Class Realm, one Tiger Blood Pill could add 300 experience points. But now that I've reached the Martial Grandmaster Realm, it can only add 100... If I want my cultivation to advance faster, I need to obtain Dragon Blood Pills from Hundred Herbs Hall!"

"Looks like I'll have to find time to visit Hundred Herbs Hall and talk with them!"

Lin Changsheng ate a lavish breakfast, watching the pedestrians on the street outside the window as he quietly made his plans.

At this time.

The diners in the tavern were all discussing how the Lei Family had caught fire last night, followed by a huge explosion. The Lei Family's three brothers and direct-line members had all been blown to death. Southern Min City had completely lost one Lineage and become a city of four great Lineages, and they also discussed the pillar of light that had shot into the sky from Jade Tablet Mountain.

"A fire? Heh heh!"

The corner of Lin Changsheng's mouth curled upward.

Southern Min City.

South City, at the end of a street, Southern Min Fireworks Shop.

"Hello, buying fireworks? We have fireworks of every shape and size here! Satisfaction guaranteed!"

As soon as Lin Changsheng entered the fireworks shop, an elderly man came forward and introduced the wares enthusiastically.

"I'll buy a string of firecrackers to try first."

Lin Changsheng took out several copper coins and bought two strings of small firecrackers, then lit them right outside the door.

Crackling explosions rang out, shaking his eardrums. The air filled with the scent of sulfur and saltpeter.

As the firecrackers went off, Lin Changsheng secretly saw red notifications continuously appear on his panel.

[Firearms Compendium (Proficient 100/500)]

"One blast gives one experience point. This is wonderful!"

"If I buy a whole pile and set them off, won't it directly reach the Perfect Stage?"

With that thought, Lin Changsheng immediately took out several taels of silver and handed them to the old man. "Shopkeeper, get me some large strings of firecrackers. Take them all apart; I want to set them off!"

"Ah? Young man, you want to set them off here? You're not taking them home?"

Hearing Lin Changsheng's words, the elderly shopkeeper was utterly confused. Did this young man have so much silver that he had nowhere else to spend it? What a waste!

"Yes. I'm paying, so just take them all apart, arrange them, and let me light them!"

Lin Changsheng said in a deep voice.

Why waste time and effort carrying them home to light them when he could light them here and collect the experience points?

"All right!"

Seeing that Lin Changsheng had already paid, the shopkeeper could only helplessly follow his instructions. He unpacked all the firecrackers and arranged them in an open area, waiting for Lin Changsheng to light them.

Crackle crackle!

Crackle crackle!

As Lin Changsheng lit more than twenty strings of firecrackers, red notifications continuously appeared on his panel.

[Firearms Compendium (Perfect Stage)]

After half a quarter of an hour, a red notification appeared on Lin Changsheng's panel. At the same time, a stream of information emerged in his mind and instantly fused with his consciousness!

It was astonishingly the methods for making all kinds of firearms, including Heavenly Thunder Beads, Thunder Shakers, cannons, and many others!

Among them was even a method for making Purple Heavenly Thunder. According to its description, Purple Heavenly Thunder could even blow a Martial Grandmaster Realm expert to death, though the required materials were exceedingly rare.

At this moment.

Lin Changsheng felt as though he were a master craftsman who had been making firearms for forty or fifty years!

"Wonderful! One round of exploding firecrackers, and the Firearms Compendium directly reached the Perfect Stage!"

After settling the payment, Lin Changsheng turned and left, leaving behind a shopkeeper whose face was full of confusion.

When Lin Changsheng returned to the small courtyard, he saw the white fox sitting at the door, hugging a pear and gnawing on it. When it saw Lin Changsheng return, it immediately hid the half-eaten pear behind its back.

Its large eyes blinked and blinked.

"You still haven't left? You even went inside to steal pears?"

Lin Changsheng looked at the little white fox helplessly. This little white fox had become a shameless freeloader.

"Ying ying ying!"

The little white fox seemed to understand Lin Changsheng's words. It shook its head, touched its belly with its right forepaw, then pointed at the pear, meaning that it was hungry.

"Hurry up and leave! Stop freeloading here."

Lin Changsheng could not be bothered with the little white fox. He entered the house, carried out a brazier, and began warming himself by the fire, taking out the tiger claws as well and rubbing his belly.

At present.

The Sun-Moon Breathing Method had already reached the Perfect Stage. By his calculations, the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Breathing Method still needed nearly ten days to reach the Perfect Stage. He decided to first bring the Scorching Fire Method to the Perfect Stage and fuse it with the Sun-Moon Breathing Method, to see what high-tier cultivation method he could obtain.

This was because warming himself by the fire raised experience points much faster than the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Breathing Method.

"Hmm, I have some time now. I should study that piece of white jade."

Lin Changsheng recalled the white jade he had obtained from the Lei Family. He immediately rose, went inside to retrieve it, and sat beside the brazier, studying it while adding wood to the fire.

"Lei Zhen stored this white jade so carefully, so it should be valuable. Yet I can't tell what it's for... Could it simply be something left behind by the Lei Family ancestors as a keepsake?"

Lin Changsheng examined the white jade for a long while but found no great value in it. He shook his head and prepared to put it back in its box.

Its quality was not particularly good. If he took it to a jade shop, it probably would not fetch a good price.

At this moment, the little white fox lay a zhang away, looking at the jade slip in Lin Changsheng's hand, then at Lin Changsheng. A thoughtful look appeared in its watery large eyes.
