This matter was full of mysteries. I pondered for a moment then said to the little fox girl, "If he's really someone from the secular world, I won't hurt the innocent.
But you have to be honest. Who are you and how do you know me? "
The little fox girl heaved a sigh of relief when she heard my words. Then, she looked at me with disdain and snorted. "Don't pretend. You really don't know who I am?
Hmph!
If you didn't know who I was, how could you have found this place?
Back then, I already knew that you harbored evil intentions, but I didn't expect that in just a short year, your cultivation would actually increase by so much. "
Her words made me even more confused. Moreover, from her tone, I could tell that she was resentful towards me.
I was also displeased and my face darkened.
"You've been subdued and your life is in my hands. Why should I lie to you?
If I say I don't know you, then I don't know you.
You're just an ordinary fox spirit. Is it worth lying to me? "
After listening to me, the little fox girl's mocking expression disappeared. She was stunned for a while before her hoarse voice resounded again. "You … You really don't know me?"
I was so angry that I almost laughed. Does this little fox girl have paranoia?
I coldly said nothing. The little fox girl embarrassedly continued, "Last year in Guangzhou, I went to your Fengshui shop to ask for a talisman …"
Last year, you asked for a talisman in a Fengshui shop?
I was stunned and blurted out, "You're that old woman?"
How is that possible?
Although that old woman was also a fox spirit, she was too different from the little girl in front of me. How could they be the same person?
The little fox girl nodded. "My Qingqiu clan is different from ordinary monsters. When we reach the Heavenly Master realm, our body and appearance will return to that of an infant. Even our cultivation base will be lost and we'll need to cultivate again.
Of course, it's different from the initial cultivation. This time, as long as we grow up, our cultivation base will reach the Heavenly Master realm.
Although this kind of racial talent allows the Qing Qiu Clan's cultivation to far surpass ordinary spiritual monsters after we become Taoist Masters, and even a bit more powerful than human Taoist Masters, during the process of reincarnation and re-cultivation, it's the weakest period … Back in Guangzhou, you said that you spied on my cultivation, so of course I was on guard. Plus, you suddenly appeared today, how could I not associate it? "
After hearing her explanation, I finally solved the mystery in my heart.
Nothing is too strange in this world. The Qingqiu Clan actually has such a strange cultivation method, and I just so happened to encounter her. In this way, it's no wonder that she hates me so much.
I shook my head and smiled wryly. "What a coincidence … The talisman you used just now couldn't have been the Heaven Deceiving Talisman that you took from me, right?"
The little fox girl nodded, and her face turned sad. "It is this talisman … I, the Green Hill Clan, am a natural mutant, and my body is full of treasures. If I can't conceal my aura during my reincarnation, I will become the target of all cultivators.
Back then, I asked for the Heaven Deception Talisman to conceal my aura, but I didn't expect it to be destroyed by you today.
One drink and one peck, it was really fate!
Zhou Yi, I don't ask you to let me go. As long as you let go of the father and daughter, I will let you do whatever you want to me. What do you think? "
I was stunned. Before I could react, the fox girl said mournfully, "Without the Heaven Deception Talisman, I definitely won't be able to survive these two years. It doesn't matter who I die in … But you should have heard that the Fox Clan holds grudges the most. Even ordinary foxes, after being hunted, will bite their own fur to pieces as long as they have a breath left, so that no one can get anything out of them.
Don't think that I'm being subdued by you now, but if you dare to hurt the father and daughter, I will definitely die together with them, so that you won't get anything!
But if you let them go, I promise not to resist, and you can do whatever you want to me! "
When this fox girl was still an old woman, I first came into contact with her, and I noticed that she had an extreme personality. However, this should be the nature of the Fox Clan. If it wasn't for their extreme personality and clear love and hate, there wouldn't be so many love stories between fox girls and scholars.
I shook my head and smiled. "I really don't know what kind of treasure the QingQiu Clan's skin is, and I don't want to know. So, you don't have to look so sad.
I won't do anything to the father and daughter, and I won't do anything to you. As for the Heaven Deception Talisman that you're worried about, it's not a problem. I can make one, so naturally, I can make a second one … As long as you answer one of my questions. "
The fox girl looked suspicious and looked at me in disbelief. After a while, she asked, "What's the question?"
I took out a piece of Seven Star Mugwort Leaf and placed it in front of her. "Where did this thing come from?"
The fox girl glanced at the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf and suddenly said, "You came for this Seven Star Mugwort Leaf?"
I nodded and didn't hide anything from her. "I need a whole Seven Star Mugwort Leaf. I'm not interested in anything else. As long as you help me find this thing, the Heaven Deception Talisman won't be a problem."
The fox girl was stunned for a while. Then, she smiled wryly. "If you had come half a year earlier, I would have a whole Seven Star Mugwort Leaf. But half a year ago, I used it as a medicine to increase my cultivation base. Ah Qi gave the remaining two pieces to Mi Ding City … The one in your hand should be one of them."
My heart sank. When I came to find Li Linqi, I had guessed that the best result would be that he had a whole Seven Star Mugwort Leaf. But now, it seemed impossible.
"It's fine if you don't have it. Just tell me where I can find it." I put away the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf and asked.
The fox girl immediately answered, "The Fox King Palace in QingQiu Country. The Seven Star Mugwort Leaf only grows there. The one I had was stolen from there."
QingQiu Country?
The Fox King Palace?
I was stunned. Then, I quickly remembered that there were records of QingQiu Country in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It should be a place. But what is this Fox King Palace?
Is there really a Fox Kingdom?
I asked again. The fox girl told me that QingQiu Country was indeed a place. It was in Shandong Province. As for the Fox King Palace, it was the gathering place of the QingQiu tribe. According to the legends, it was the palace of the Fox Kingdom in ancient times. The old name had been used until now.
After understanding all that, I asked about the QingQiu tribe.
If the Fox King Palace was the gathering place of the QingQiu tribe and the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf was a treasure, it wouldn't be easy to take it from the hands of the Fox Kingdom.
The fox girl told me that the QingQiu tribe was very powerful. They had more than ten Elders, who were at the Celestial Master realm. They also had the High Priest and the Chief. It was said that their cultivation base had surpassed the Celestial Master realm.
Although I had guessed that the QingQiu tribe wasn't ordinary, I didn't expect that they would be this powerful.
More than ten Celestial Master elders, two Chief, and a High Priest who had surpassed the Celestial Master realm … They were much stronger than the big forces in the Metaphysics world.
However, I still exhaled in relief. It was good to know where the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf was. It was much better than searching around like a headless fly.
After pondering for a while, I asked the fox girl how she had stolen the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf.
The fox girl could read my mind. She shook her head and said, "I used my identity as a Fox to steal the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf from the Fox King Palace. After I took it, the Chief was alerted. However, I used the Heavenly Deception Talisman to hide my aura. Moreover, the QingQiu tribe hasn't been in contact with the outside world for thousands of years. A Seven Star Mugwort Leaf wasn't enough to make the Elders want to hunt me down. That's why I was safe and sound.
However, it's impossible to do the same thing. If I return to the QingQiu Country, I will be recognized. "
After denying this method, I didn't know what to do. I had to put this matter aside for the time being. I asked the fox girl to tell me the location of the Fox King Palace in the QingQiu Country. Then, I put away the Earth Overturning Seal and released her.
Since I had promised her something, I wouldn't refuse. When I had made the Heavenly Deception Talisman, it had taken me a lot of effort. But now, my cultivation base wasn't the same as before. It wasn't difficult for me to make it again.
Without waiting for the fox girl to urge me, I asked Mi Ding City to send someone to buy the necessary materials to make the talisman. I went to Li Linqi's house and made a whole set of Heavenly Deception Talismans for her.
This time, it only took me four hours to make the whole set of Heavenly Deception Talismans.
After I got the Heavenly Deception Talismans, the fox girl's family's attitude toward me finally improved. The three of them kept thanking me, and Li Linqi asked me to stay for dinner.
