Chapter 143 The Spirit Fox Voluntarily Recognizes Its Master and Searches for Treasure

there.

A white fox with some charred black spots on its fur was peeking out at Ji Haoyuan.

As it happened, their eyes met.

"Squeak..."

The white fox seemed startled, and immediately covered its eyes with its two front paws.

But between its claws, two dark eyes were still secretly watching Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan remained expressionless.

If he wasn't mistaken, the reason the cold-faced man was here was because he was chasing the white fox.

As a result, six or seven cultivators on his side died.

The cold-faced man fared even worse.

A dignified mid-stage Golden Core cultivator died directly at his hands.

Fortunately, the cultivation world of the Wu Kingdom was quite far away from them.

As long as he doesn't run into the Hundred Beasts Sect in the future, it's unlikely they'll be able to trace him back to him in the short term.

But this ultimately caused him some trouble.

and so……

Suddenly, Ji Haoyuan's figure vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing right in front of the white fox.

Then he reached out and grabbed it.

Before the white fox could even react to what was happening, it found itself being lifted up by Ji Haoyuan.

"Squeak..."

The white fox suddenly became a little anxious.

Then it barked at Ji Haoyuan while gesturing with its paws.

It seems to be trying to express something.

However, Ji Haoyuan remained unmoved.

But at that moment, Lin Qingwu, who had been in the distance, came to his side.

Lin Qingwu glanced at the white fox that Ji Haoyuan was holding like a chick in his hand, and immediately said to Ji Haoyuan:
“Master, I just heard the other party say that this is a Tongbao Spirit Fox.”

"Tongbao Spirit Fox?"

Upon hearing this name, Ji Haoyuan's eyes immediately narrowed.

The so-called Treasure-Finding Fox, as the name suggests, is a kind of demon beast with the ability to find all kinds of treasures.

wrong.

This shouldn't be considered a demonic beast, but rather a spirit beast of heaven and earth.

They are blessed by this world.

Moreover, different celestial beasts are said to possess different special abilities.

I never imagined that the thing in my hand would have such a background.

No wonder the cultivators from the Hundred Beasts Sect relentlessly pursued it.

It's no exaggeration to say that with this, if you want to search for treasure or enter a place like the Thousand Streams Secret Realm in the future, you won't have to worry about finding truly valuable treasures.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but lower his head and take a serious look at the white fox that he was still holding in his hand.

Then the white fox squeaked at him a few more times.

The next moment, the white fox suddenly spat out a drop of blood that looked like a ruby, which then quietly floated in front of Ji Haoyuan.

Upon seeing this, even Ji Haoyuan was taken aback.

A few moments.

He then spoke, "So you want to acknowledge me as your master?"

"Squeak..."

The white fox nodded hurriedly, then stretched out its paw and pointed at the blood bead floating in mid-air.

Is it sensing something special about me?

Or perhaps it sees itself as a rare treasure?
Ji Haoyuan knew very well that celestial spirit beasts were born under certain celestial influences and would never easily recognize a master. The fact that this Tongbao Spirit Fox was now willing to acknowledge him as its master must have a reason.

Perhaps it's related to oneself...

Ji Haoyuan's eyes flashed.

Without thinking too much, he reached out and touched the drop of blood.

Since the other party is willing to take the initiative to acknowledge me as their master, it is definitely a matter of benefit and no harm to me.

There's absolutely no need for me to shut them out.

hum!
At that moment, mysterious runes suddenly appeared on the drop of blood that was suspended in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the drop of blood transformed into a stream of light and merged into Ji Haoyuan's finger.

In an instant, a series of messages flowed through Ji Haoyuan's mind, giving him a more concrete understanding of the situation of the Tongbao Spirit Fox.

This fox not only possesses the ability to find treasures, but also the ability to upgrade the grade of certain treasures.

This is also the most incredible thing about this fox.

I just don't know what the upper limit is of this so-called ability to upgrade the grade of treasures, or whether there are any specific restrictions in between.

Once I get back, I might be able to study it properly.

"Squeak..."

Just then, the Tongbao Spirit Fox suddenly climbed up Ji Haoyuan's arm and onto his shoulder, then stretched out a paw and pointed towards the depths of the jungle ahead.

"Hmm, you mean there are some good treasures in there?"

After the Tongbao Spirit Fox recognized Ji Haoyuan as its master, Ji Haoyuan was able to understand some of the meanings that the Tongbao Spirit Fox wanted to express.

Tongbao Linghu Chong and Ji Haoyuan nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan nodded thoughtfully.

Then, his gaze turned to Lin Qingwu and the others, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Palace Master Lin, you should go back first."

Please do not publicize this matter.

Furthermore, the compensation for those individuals should be provided according to the highest standards.

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, Lin Qingwu and the group of cultivators beside her immediately swore an oath of faith in front of Ji Haoyuan, promising that they would never reveal the details of this matter to anyone else.

Clearly, they also knew that neither Ji Haoyuan killing the cold-faced man nor obtaining the Tongbao Spirit Fox were things that couldn't be casually mentioned.

Therefore, they were very self-aware and made a vow of Dao heart in front of Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan didn't say anything about it, but in his heart, he was quite satisfied with Lin Qingwu and the others for being so sensible.

After Lin Qingwu and the others left, Ji Haoyuan put away the corpse of the Thundercloud Leopard and the storage ring on the cold-faced man's body.

Then, he threw out a ball of fire, completely incinerating the cold-faced man's corpse.

After doing all this, Ji Haoyuan said something to the Tongbao Spirit Fox perched on his shoulder.

"Let's go, let me see what this treasure you mentioned is. I hope it won't disappoint me."

"Squeak..."

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, the Tongbao Spirit Fox let out two disgruntled cries, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

Ji Haoyuan chuckled softly.

Without further hesitation, following the guidance of the Spirit Fox, they soon arrived at a secluded mountain cave.

"Squeak..."

Soon, Tongbao Linghu Chong Ji Haoyuan made a couple of gestures.

Ji Haoyuan's gaze seemed to penetrate through layers of obstacles, and he quickly looked down into the cave.

"You mean, the treasure is below this cave?"

Tongbao Linghu nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan did not hesitate.

He immediately summoned his magical artifact, the Yuan Chen Sword, and slashed it across the ground beneath his feet.

Chi!
In an instant, a large pit, about ten feet in size and dozens of feet deep, appeared before Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

Following this large pit, Ji Haoyuan soon saw the true situation below.
