A considerable number of finished pills, talismans, and magical implements were brought out.

There are even various kinds of rare and precious natural materials that are well preserved.

Regardless of its age or quality, it would have been considered top-notch even three thousand years ago.

As the spiritual energy gradually increased, Su Chen was able to sense that the upper limit of heaven and earth seemed to be beginning to loosen.

Everything is going as he expected.

Once these monsters are brought to life, the rest will become much easier.

Once the last piece of the puzzle is completed, the speed at which the upper limit of heaven and earth can be reversed will be even faster.

"so what?

"Anyway, they're demons; it'll be a long time before they can transform into human form."

During this time, thanks to Su Chen's explanations, Jiang Li learned a lot about monsters.

For demonic beasts to achieve perfect transformation, they must wait until the Golden Core stage.

And they will have many more limitations than humans.

Even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is difficult now, let alone anything beyond the Golden Core stage.

It's unclear when these monsters will be able to transform into human form.

How much longer are you going to stay here?

Didn't we agree that after the Nanlang matter was settled, you would help me choose an heir?

The experiment has yielded results.

Shouldn't we go back now?

Choosing a successor was just a gimmick; Su Chen had been engrossed in experiments deep in the mountains, which was truly torture for Jiang Li.

After all, every time she tried to do something bad, Su Chen would refuse her with various excuses.

Each time, the reasons given were so reasonable that Jiang Li couldn't find any angle to refute them.

Hua Jingyun has been on the northern border for quite some time now.

She hasn't made any progress at all.

Once Hua Jingyun returns, won't she have even less of a chance?

"That seems to be true. I'll tidy this place up a bit and find a suitable place for these monsters."

Then I'll go back to the capital with you.

Su Chen smiled when he saw Jiang Li's aggrieved look.

The pressure from the extraterrestrial creatures was too great for him, and in order to buy time, he ignored the feelings of those around him.

Now that the rise of demonic beasts has found a way for him, he can relax a little and catch his breath.

After Lu Wuyai had almost finished opening the secret realm.

Then we can consider the next step.

Su Chen tidied up his little apartment briefly.

As for the demonic beasts whose bloodlines had been awakened, he took a batch of them away and released another batch back to their original locations.

He needs these monsters to maintain their original wildness.

As for those that were taken away, Su Chen will find suitable areas for them to develop.

"Eh?

I think I saw a white figure in the woods?

Could it be some kind of rare or exotic beast?

Seeing that Su Chen had finally moved, Jiang Li felt much better. She looked up and saw a patch of snow-white in the dense forest not far away.

"I have plenty of food and drink here, and the concentration of spiritual energy is not low, so it's only natural that it attracts some rare beasts."

Su Chen didn't take it too seriously.

He had already set up a formation to attract wild animals, and with other methods of luring them, he didn't need to catch them at all; the wild animals in the mountains would naturally gather around him.

"That little guy doesn't seem right?"

Are you injured?

As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the two of them heard a series of pitiful cries.

"fox?

Are there really foxes in these mountains?

Or is it a white fox?

Jiang Li found it strange; she had never heard of foxes living in this area.

Upon hearing the name "white fox," Su Chen immediately thought of the fox he had adopted at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

"White fox? Where is it?"

When the two men saw the white fox, they discovered that its hind leg had been severed by a trap set by the hunter.

The fox, which had been howling pitifully, suddenly lay down obediently the moment Su Chen approached, its eyes filled with a pitiful light.

"How could there be a hunter's trap here?"

The nearest mountain village is over a hundred miles away, and I've already cleared the area around it.

Su Chen looked at the trap with a puzzled expression, but his hands were still moving quickly. He dismantled the trap and began to heal the white fox in front of him.

Why does the way he looks at me seem a little off?

Jiang Li frowned as she looked at the white fox in front of her.

Clearly it was just a fox, yet Jiang Li actually felt a sense of crisis.

It was as if the white fox before him was not an ordinary wild beast, but a vixen about to be released.

"What's wrong?"

He's just an ordinary fox, inside and out.

I just don't understand why it's here.

Su Chen casually examined the fox's body; apart from its hind leg being broken by the trap, the rest of its body was perfectly healthy.

Are you going to take it with you?

Seeing Su Chen pick up the white fox, Jiang Li felt a surge of jealousy.

When she realized this, Jiang Li felt somewhat bewildered.

That's just an ordinary beast, why would she be jealous of a wild animal?

Could it be because I haven't won over Su Chen in too long?

“There are monsters all around here. This little white fox can’t possibly get out of here on its own. Let’s take it away from here and find a place to release it.”

Su Chen shook his head. This little white fox couldn't possibly be the same little guy who had lived at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

When Su Chen released the little white fox on his way back, he didn't notice the fox's gaze fixed on him until his figure disappeared on the horizon, at which point the fox silently disappeared into the forest.

By the time Su Chen and his companion returned to the capital, it was already late at night.

The capital city remained as prosperous as ever, with no curfew and lively music and dancing everywhere.

In contrast to the dire straits of Nanlang, most people in the dynasty were able to live in peace and prosperity.

"I've already asked the clan to recommend a few promising candidates. Please help me choose one tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

"Yeah, it's late, time to sleep~"

Chapter 156 Successor

Su Chen restrained Jiang Li, who was about to cause trouble.

I spent the whole night quietly.

However, when Su Chen opened his eyes the next day, he saw Jiang Li looking angry.

After a series of failures, she began to doubt her own charm.

"Alright, don't be angry."

Let's wait until the limits of the universe are truly loosened before making any further moves.

Su Chen pinched Jiang Li's cheek.

"Don't you want me anymore?"

"how could be?

I've already gone to such lengths, and you're still unmoved.

What should I do?

Jiang Li looked aggrieved. She could keenly sense that the relationship between Su Chen and Hua Jingyun had changed.

For her, this was an indescribable sense of crisis.

But Su Chen remained unmoved by her initiative, leaving Jiang Li feeling powerless and frustrated.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have more important things to do right now."

With the opening of the secret realm, Su Chen wasn't entirely confident that things would proceed as planned.

The pressure from extraterrestrial beings is ever-present; they could appear before him at any moment.

For Su Chen, this is something he has to be wary of.

"You should choose your successor first."

Then you can completely quit and have more time to spend with me.
