Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Hu Bai smiled.

At that moment, he felt that the burden on his shoulders, though heavier, was also more meaningful.

It's not just about becoming stronger.

It is also to protect the happiness of everyone around us.

A heavy conversation about life and death came to a perfect end in this relaxed atmosphere.

That old man Qian Daoliu is probably hiding under the covers, secretly enjoying himself right now.

After all, being able to live to see one's granddaughter become a god, and even become a priestess with eternal life in the divine realm, is such a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern.

Having settled things at the Hall of Offerings, Hu Bai stretched and decided not to stay there to continue his cuddling with Qian Renxue.

Firstly, Xiaoxue has just broken through to the next level and does need time to take a shower, and secondly, they have a long time to spend together in the future.

Secondly, he really hadn't been home for a long time.

Since returning from his last training mission, he has been staying in his own room at the Spirit Hall or with Qian Renxue.

……

Evil House.

Although Hu Bai hadn't returned for a long time, his room was still spotless.

At this moment, the family was chatting.

When Hu Bai pushed open the door and entered, the air was quiet for a second.

And then he returned home.

Followed by.

A voice filled with resentment and tinged with sarcasm rang out.

"Second brother, you've finally decided to come home for a visit?"

Hu Liena sat down, peeling a grape in her hand. "You've been enjoying your time alone with Sister Xiaoxue these past few days, haven't you?"

"They were so happy they forgot about home" is an example of this.

Hu Bai's lips twitched.

Is this girl out of her mind?

He's just dating, why is it acting like he's abandoning his wife and children?

Hu Bai walked over, snatched the peeled grape from her hand without any hesitation, and popped it into his mouth.

"Hmm, it's quite sweet."

What? Are you envious?

Hu Bai glanced at her, chewing on a grape as he teased:

"If you're envious, why don't you go find one too?"

"I think Yan is pretty good. He's been devoted to you and has been pursuing you for so many years. He's certainly put in a lot of effort, hasn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's expression instantly turned as if she had swallowed a fly.

She rolled her eyes in disgust.

"Second brother, I was wrong."

"I'll stop being sarcastic towards you, but please stop disgusting me, okay?"

"Let's forget about Yan."

Hu Liena sighed, her face showing a look of utter despair.

"Having such a handsome guy like you hanging around in front of me every day."

Do you know how many levels my standards for choosing a partner have been unconsciously raised?

"People I used to think were okay-looking, but now compared to you..."

Hu Liena shook her head, her face filled with despair.

"Then they're no different from ordinary passersby."

"You know, your sister is a sucker for good looks."

"Right now, there's probably no man more handsome than you on this continent."

"I'd rather be single forever than settle for less."

Hu Bai was stunned.

Although I knew the girl was praising him indirectly, the flattery was so effective it made me feel good.

Hu Bai smiled and didn't say anything more.

indeed.

In the original novel, Hu Liena looked down on Yan, thinking he was too reckless and brainless.

Now, thanks to Hu Bai's involvement, the strength and vision of the Golden Generation have been greatly enhanced.

Although Yan has also become stronger, the gap between him and Hu Bai, who is a "cheat code" player, is indeed quite large.

Not to mention Hu Bai, even Xie Yue and Hu Liena are no match for him.

In addition, Hu Bai's stunning good looks and charisma further enhanced his charm.

It's normal for Hu Liena to have high standards.

But that’s fine too.

Then I thought about it.

He was actually a little reluctant to marry off this beautiful, plump cabbage to some unknown wild boar.

This is just like the feelings of an elderly father.

Who would like to see their carefully nurtured cabbage being eaten by someone else's pig?
"and many more……"

Hu Bai suddenly realized.

He shook his head, trying to shake off the strange thoughts in his mind.

If he thinks that way, wouldn't he be insulting himself in the process?
After all, for that old man, Qian Daoliu...

Isn't Hu Bai just that "pig" who stole someone else's granddaughter?

At this moment, Hu Bai's mother, Hu Leyao, came out carrying a plate of fruit.

Upon seeing her son return, the still-attractive and beautiful woman's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Little White is back?"

"Please sit down, please sit down!"

"Li Ma, tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes! Make two extra portions of Xiaobai's favorite braised lion's head meatballs!"

Hu Bai quickly went to greet her and took the plate from his mother's hands.

"Mom, no need to go to so much trouble, just eat whatever you like."

"How can that be done!"

Hu Leyao glared at him.

"You've come all this way, so you should stay home for a few more days this time."

"correct."

Hu Leyao, holding Hu Bai's hand, asked with a gossipy look:

"How's Xiaoxue's exam going?"

As family members of high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, they naturally knew that Qian Renxue was currently undergoing the crucial Angel God Trial.

And since her own son was always guarding the offering hall, he must have been acting as a protector of the flower.

Hu Bai smiled and didn't hide anything.

"Well, it went pretty well."

"Sister Xiaoxue has already passed the seventh and eighth exams."

"Her soul power has now reached level ninety-eight."

"puff--!"

Xie Yue, who was drinking water, suddenly spat it out.

"How many?!"

"Level 98?!"

Xie Yue stared wide-eyed at her younger brother, as if listening to a foreign language.

"Xiaobai, you're not kidding, are you? Wasn't she only level 95 before?"

You must know that Xie Yue had worked himself to the bone for a year, enduring both divine trials and training, and only with great difficulty did he finally break through to the level 76 Soul Saint.

But to my surprise, compared to Qian Renxue, she was utterly crushed.

Hu Bai nodded calmly.

"No kidding."

"She inherited the complete set of angelic soul bones, accumulated strength and then unleashed it, plus the recognition of the angelic holy sword."

“Level 98 is reasonable.” “As long as she accumulates her soul power to level 99, she can begin the ninth trial.”

"Given her talent and comprehension, it'll probably be within the next few years."

"By the time……"

Hu Bai paused, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"I plan to have the medicine hall try to develop a pill to help break through to the Limit Douluo level."

"If it can be done, it should be able to shorten this time by more than half."

As Hu Bai spoke, a divine pill that had appeared during the era of the Peerless Tang Sect came to mind.

The Elixir of Creation!
That is a heaven-defying elixir that requires more than forty kinds of rare and precious materials and an extremely complex process to refine.

It can not only enhance soul power, but also reshape meridians and enhance potential.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao looted the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes completely, and only managed to refine seven of them.

Now, the growth rate of herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is twenty times that of before.

With the fusion of his and Wang Qiu'er's destiny skills and the time acceleration of the destiny artifact, the herbs grew very quickly.

At that time, we only need to extract a portion of the essence and refine it into one or two pills.

However, the problem now is that although he knows that such a thing exists, the specific formula is a mystery.

Hu Bai thought to himself, "I'm only a novice when it comes to alchemy. I've only learned a little bit from Uncle Ju."

"To truly refine this level of divine pill, one still needs to rely on professionals."

He thought of Dugu Bo.

Although that old poison master was a master at using poisons, he was also a master at pharmacology.

And then there's Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Broken Clan.

He's a drug-making fanatic.

The previous Saint-Breaking Pill was something those old guys had worked together to create.

Compared to the mysterious and esoteric alchemy techniques found in other fantasy worlds...

The alchemy in Douluo Continent actually leans more towards "pharmaceutical science" and "soul power fusion".

As long as you understand the medicinal properties of various herbs, you can always find the optimal solution through continuous trial and error and adjustments to the proportions.

"It seems we need to find some time to gather these old guys together for a 'pharmaceutical seminar'."

Hu Bai secretly made up his mind.

……

The dinner table.

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

His father, Xie Tian, ​​is now a level 96 Super Douluo.

He concealed his murderous aura very well, and looked just like an ordinary middle-aged man next door.

But the occasional glint in his eyes still pierced the surface with a sharp, dagger-like edge.

The mother, Hu Leyao, was not to be outdone.

Level 93 Title Douluo!

Especially the winged external soul bone on her back, after a year of evolution, has completely transformed into a 100,000-year level.

After a few rounds of meals, Hu Bai put down his chopsticks and looked at his older brother and younger sister.

"correct."

"What will be the content of your next divine test?"

"It must be tough too, right?"

Xie Yue wiped his mouth, his expression turning somewhat serious.

He stretched out his right hand, and two blood-red crescent blades spun at his fingertips.

"My God of Destruction's fourth trial is a bit violent."

"【The Fourth Trial of the God of Destruction: The True Meaning of Destruction】"

"Mission requirements: Go to the far north and face the Titan Snow Demon with 50,000 years of cultivation alone."

"and……"

Xie Yue gave a bitter laugh.

"You cannot use any soul skills throughout the entire process."

"I can only rely on the sharpness of the Moonblade itself and my understanding of the meaning of destruction to fight it head-on."

"Can't I use soul skills?"

Hu Bai raised an eyebrow.

"That's interesting."

Upon hearing that Xie Yue was going to the far north to find a Titan Snow Demon as a sparring partner, Xue Di, Bing Di, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also appeared from Hu Bai's spiritual sea.

Xue Di said to Xie Yue, "I remember that the sacrifice I made for you in the Star Dou Great Forest was a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, right?"

Xie Yue nodded.

The Snow Empress continued, "To a certain extent, the bloodline of the Titan Snow Demon race is stronger than that of the Titan Giant Ape that was sacrificed to you."

"Not only does it possess Titan blood, but it also has a trace of Ice God blood."

"In the far north, besides me and the Ice Emperor, the third strongest being is Titan Snow Demon King, who has nearly 300,000 years of cultivation."

At this moment, Ice Emperor said, "Wait, Snow Emperor, have you forgotten your godson? Little White's cultivation is even a bit higher than Titan Snow Demon King's."

"Oh, by the way," Ice Emperor said with a grin, looking at Hu Bai. "It's quite a coincidence that Snow Emperor adopted an ice bear as her godson. It has nearly 300,000 years of cultivation now and will probably have to undergo a heavenly tribulation soon."

"And his name just happens to be the same as yours, Xiaobai."

At this moment, everyone at the dinner table had strange expressions on their faces. Even Hu Bai suddenly remembered that Xue Di had a godson.

They all call him Little White, so does that mean he has to call Snow Empress Mom?

Xue Di clearly shared the same thought as Hu Bai, and her usually cold expression flushed slightly: "Ahem, Xiao Bai, let's each talk our own way. If it really doesn't work, I'll have him change his name."

The "he" in Xue Di's words naturally refers to the Ice Bear King.

This was just a minor incident. Afterwards, the Snow Empress continued, "A 50,000-year-old Titan Snow Demon is stronger than a typical 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. Moreover, due to environmental factors, you do not possess ice attributes, which puts you at a disadvantage in battle."

"This test for you is probably not as simple as you say."

“I can give you a wisp of my aura. Take him to the Titan Snow Demon Queen. She should be able to find you a lot of Titan Snow Demons as sparring partners because of me.”

Hu Liena was also somewhat surprised: "Sister Xue Di is so amazing. Just a wisp of her aura is enough to get the Titan Snow Demon King to help you?"

Ice Emperor chuckled from the side: "You don't know, the Titan Snow Demon King once pursued the Snow Emperor, but he was beaten half to death by the Snow Emperor and it took him a thousand years to recover."

Hu Liena's lips twitched, and she blinked her cute eyes: "Are you sure this isn't sending my older brother to his death?"

Xue Di paused for a moment, then said, "No, that guy doesn't have the guts."

"However, just in case, you should go find my godson first. He is stronger than the Titan Snow Demon King and is a rather honest bear."

"When you go, please convey my message, and he will take you with him."

"I'll also tell him that I'll go back to see him in a while."

The Snow Empress has made up her mind to have the Ice Bear King sacrifice himself to Little White as the third soul ring of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, so that they can ascend to the God Realm together.

Hu Bai understood Xue Di's meaning, and he didn't mind.

Anyway, his second spirit was indeed lacking in spirit ring slots, and he was too lazy to hunt spirit beasts.

In fact, if he needs it now, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor are fully capable of making the soul beasts of the far north sacrifice themselves for him.

Moreover, after the sacrifice, it doesn't mean death, but rather an opportunity.

Once he becomes a god, they can be resurrected along with him, existing as divine beasts.

Hu Bai turned to look at Hu Liena.

"how about you?"

"Has the god of lust given you any strange tasks?"

Hu Liena rolled her eyes at him, exuding charm.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I am a legitimate successor to the divine throne."

"My fourth test is titled 'The Shackles of the Mind: Desire and Control'."

"Mission requirements: Enter the depths of the Mysterious Grand Canyon and find a succubus spider queen with 50,000 years of cultivation."

"Without harming its life."

"With just my mental strength and my own charismatic aura, I completely suppressed its bloodlust and made it submit."

"Note that it is submission, not defeat."

"Moreover, there can be no physical contact at all."
