I only want to win over the fairy.

Images of white from my memory resurfaced in my mind.

That year, he was framed by his family, and he was the only one willing to stand up and risk his life to seek justice for himself.

That year, I lost all my cultivation and was seriously injured. When I had no one to rely on, he took care of me tirelessly, pulling me back from the brink of death little by little, and worrying himself sick over me.

Then he took ninety-nine steps toward himself. He had already taken the most crucial step and the ninety-eight most difficult steps out of the hundred. As long as he responded to him, everything would develop in a positive direction. However, he was unwilling to take that step of response.

I lived under the umbrella he sheltered for me, yet I also single-handedly led this very person to his doom...

“That’s exactly why!” Jiang Yuehan raised her head and said resolutely, “It’s precisely because I didn’t take that step that I now want to make up for that regret!”

"If the distance between me and him is a hundred steps right now, even if he doesn't take a single step towards me, I will still take a hundred steps towards him!"

I, Jiang Yuehan, don't like to compete with others, but I will never give up what I deserve!

Sensing her determination, the White Emperor Weapon at her waist trembled slightly, and an imperial-level pressure was released, intimidating Qiu Yuelian in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuelian smiled gently.

Now that we have met Jiang Yuehan, we need to find Bai next. But before that, we need to meet with the elders of the Xuantian Sect.

She remembered that when Bai was in the Xuantian Sect, his master seemed to be one of the elders of the Xuantian Sect.

......

“In the land of clear water, there is a sweet spring. During the day, ghostly shadows are seen, and at night, the cries of infants are heard. Villagers often see strange sights, as if ghosts or monsters are appearing.”

"Hopefully, this time the intelligence will be accurate."

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Bai Yi decided to trust it one more time.

Six days ago, he went down the mountain to look for spirit ghosts, hoping to find a suitable high-level spirit ghost to create an external spirit energy processing device. Unfortunately, after working for so many days, he couldn't find even a mid-level spirit ghost, let alone a high-level one. As for the low-level ones, they were just consumables and died before he could even test them, because they couldn't withstand the pressure.

Besides ghosts, he also encountered many bandits and mountain thieves.

Fortunately, he was slightly stronger than the other side, and all those who wanted to harm him were sent to reincarnation by him.

[Power of Reincarnation: 34]

This is the result of his six days of work; it wasn't a complete waste of time.

"If we still can't find it this time, then we can only try to collect some soul fragments from the cemetery and see if we can synthesize them artificially."

Chapter 39 My head is so itchy, I feel like my brain is growing.

Qingshui Township.

A clear river flows down from the high mountains, dividing the entire village in two. The left side of the river is full of life, covered with all kinds of crops, while the right side is lined with houses, where chickens and dogs can be heard, and the elderly and children live a carefree life.

The town is famous for its water, which is incredibly clear and rich in spiritual energy. As a result, the fish and crabs raised in this water are very popular.

—Crunch, crunch...

With the sound of a rubber object rolling over the road, a black bicycle slowly drove past the river, attracting many curious glances.

The strange person in the carriage was dressed in black, with long, jet-black hair tied in a single ponytail that draped over his left shoulder. A golden longsword hung from his left waist, while a palm-sized black alchemy furnace was worn on his right. He was perfectly proportioned, with slender, well-built shoulders and a slender waist. His face was handsome and upright.

For some reason, the man in the dark robe, paired with the strange tools he had never seen before, looked increasingly bizarre and incongruous.

Bai Yi naturally ignored the strange looks from those around him.

I practice Qi cultivation but I can't fly, so what's wrong with riding a bicycle to get around?

Not to mention that riding a bicycle can also exercise the body and save spiritual energy, which is hundreds of times better than flying on a sword.

He stopped his bike in front of the forest.

The path ahead was full of trees and weeds, and his tools were clearly no longer sufficient to move forward. He would have to rely on his own two feet to get through.

After storing the bicycle in his storage ring, Bai Yi stepped into the deep and quiet forest alone.

"It's so quiet. There's no one around. There's no one competing with me for this opportunity, and no bandits or mountain robbers are around. I feel like this time it will work out."

He leisurely walked forward, stepping on the fallen leaves scattered on the ground, constantly making rustling sounds, adding a bit of noise to the quiet environment.

After walking for fifteen minutes, he stopped and stared at the spring not far away.

He could sense that spiritual energy was flowing in front of him along a certain trajectory. This flowing spiritual energy formed one array eye after another, eventually forming an array.

If it were just a simple formation, there wouldn't be much to worry about. But the problem is that this formation is not man-made, but naturally generated. It is a formation formed naturally when the spiritual energy carried by natural substances such as wind, water, trees, earth, and light meets each other.

Natural formations are undoubtedly the most troublesome and difficult to deal with among all formations. After all, when breaking a formation, nature itself changes over time, and thus the formation itself gradually changes.

Even a master of formations would probably need more than a week to break this formation.

"However, times have changed. How can human beings' speed of cracking be compared with that of technology?"

Now that he was certain that there was a high probability of finding the treasure he needed ahead, how could Bai Yi possibly give up? Besides, it was just a formation; he could break it in twenty minutes.

He took out a silver rectangular USB flash drive, stepped forward, aimed at a spot in the array, and threw it, which landed perfectly in the desired position.

The moment the USB drive came into contact with the array, its program started automatically. The previously calm area in front of it began to ripple, and the spiritual energy that had been flowing along its predetermined path began to become slightly disordered.

In essence, a formation is just a firewall or something similar. As long as you find a way, it can be easily cracked. However, cracking it bit by bit by manpower is too troublesome. Therefore, Bai Yi collected information on countless formations and, based on that, created version 1.3 of the "Universal Formation Cracking Key". This thing is like a Wi-Fi key. As long as the opponent's formation is not particularly complex or advanced, it can basically be cracked.

To put it simply, a formation is like a young girl. The normal way to break it is to find what she likes and win her over so that she will allow you to enter. If you don't have a strategy, the most common way to break it is to explore every inch of the girl's territory little by little, find the "weakness" in the territory, and then attack the "weakness" relentlessly to make the girl submit to you.

This "universal array breaking key" is essentially like having tens of thousands of keys and trying them on you one by one until one of them works. If you refuse, it might even slap you in the face (meaning it can't break the array and disrupts your spiritual energy flow to create a weakness), then attack your injured areas relentlessly, forcing you to release your body's restrictions and become completely at its mercy.

My lord, times have changed!

This is the victory of technology!

Twenty minutes later, the USB drive plugged into the array made a "pop" sound, which means that the cracking progress is 100% complete and the cracking is successful.

If the attempt to crack the formation fails, the sound will be a "buzzing" sound. If some formations have a self-destruct program that has been triggered, the sound will be a rapid "beep beep beep".

As the formation dissipated, the scenery before him was shrouded in mist. The moment everything became clear again, Bai Yi found himself no longer in the original forest, but in a huge valley.

As he surveyed his surroundings, he noticed a snow-white fox with crimson petals adorning its forehead, peering at him with keen interest through its blue eyes beside the pool in front of it. Two pure white tails, unblemished by any impurity, swayed back and forth from the fox's rump.

"Water is yin, and in this place where yin energy is abundant, it can indeed nurture spirits that have solidified into substance. Although it is a bit disappointing that it is not a white-haired, red-eyed fox-eared beauty, a white-haired, blue-eyed fox is not bad either."

Although the fox in front of him was indeed lifelike, Bai Yi saw through its true nature at a glance.

However, spirits are usually half real and half illusory. Even high-level spirits will have some illusion. A spirit like this one, which has no illusion at all and is no different from a real fox, is extremely rare. If it weren't for the strange aura that belongs to spirits, he would probably have thought it was a fox.

Just as he was about to reach out and grab the fox, the white fox seemed to react, suddenly leaping up and letting out a shriek. Then it grinned and glared fiercely at the uninvited guest in front of it.

"I'm warning you, human, put away your claws, or I won't be so polite."

"Little fox, aren't you being a bit too naive? I'm about to catch you, it's like raping you. I've already chosen to do it, if I had your consent before doing it, would it still be considered raping?"

"Awooooo!!"

The little fox was shocked; what the human said seemed to make a lot of sense.

So, should I stop the other person or not?

Even after being stopped, the other party still insisted on forcing their way in.

If we don't stop them, they'll still come anyway; it's just that they won't have to struggle as much.

Even though the results seemed about the same, she felt something was off, but she couldn't figure out what it was. This made her fox-like head itch a little, as if it was about to grow a brain.

Seeing that the fox didn't seem very bright, Bai Yi shrugged and continued, "Life is like being gang-raped. It's the same for ghosts and foxes. You either fight to the death and get gang-raped, or you lie down and enjoy it. Instead of struggling to the death, it's better to be honest. That way, it's better for both of us, isn't it?"

Little fox: "..."

That makes some sense, but why does something still feel off?

Chapter 40 A little fox like you is born to be eaten.

Spirit ghosts are a branch of ghosts and monsters. They possess powerful spiritual energy and are excellent materials for alchemy and cultivation. Furthermore, because the souls of spirit ghosts are very pure, like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivators can even fuse mid-level or higher spirit ghosts into their own bodies and refine them into their own clones.

Mid-level spirit ghosts can be refined by cultivators into another clone of themselves, allowing them to unleash twice the combat power at crucial moments.

High-level spirit ghosts, besides being used as clones, also possess a degree of intelligence, accelerating the cultivator's cultivation speed, and can even be used as containers to hold remnant souls.

The value of a high-level spirit is so high that it is priceless and unavailable. And the value of a spirit that is almost detached from illusion and indistinguishable from a real animal is even more immeasurable.

To be honest, even Bai Yi didn't expect that this place could have a spirit of this level.

This is probably what good luck looks like.

"A little fox like you is born to be captured and then thoroughly f***ed. So you'd better come with me obediently. My house is quite big, and there's plenty of good food."

Bai Yi squatted down, stroked the fox's soft fur, and gently combed it smooth.

If possible, he would rather not resort to force, since this involves integrating into his own body, and it would be better to maintain a friendly relationship.

"Stop it now!" Although the human in front of her was enjoying being touched, the white fox still broke free of his grasp and said fiercely, "I'm waiting here for someone very important! I won't go with a weirdo like you!!"

Bai Yi continued, "I provide food and lodging, and there's also delicious fried tofu."

"Fried tofu? What's that?"

"A type of fried tofu, golden in color, with a silky, fluffy, and elastic interior, is a rare delicacy that many foxes love to eat."

"Slurp~~"

Although she didn't know what fried tofu was, the little fox couldn't help but drool as she listened to the man's description.

I always thought it would be delicious.

Or...should I go with this person?

There's nothing we can do here anyway.

No, no, no! How could I possibly give in for a mere meal!

I'm waiting for her here, how can I be tempted by fried tofu that I've never even heard of!

"Give up, you despicable human! I'm waiting here for someone who is incredibly important to me. How could I possibly be swayed by your few words!"

After uttering the firm words, the little fox opened its mouth and bit the hand that was stroking its fur, trying to show the man how powerful it was.

"Awoooooo!!!"
