I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

For example, at this moment, Yuanyuan and Huanhuan have already transformed back into human form and led Chen Yuze and his group across the border between Qingqiu and the outside world.

It's quite noticeable that as you cross the border, a ripple, like water, appears in the space in front of you. Without someone to guide you, you might just collapse headfirst into an invisible wall of air.

"Senior Brother Yuze, welcome to Qingqiu."

Walking at the very front, striding along with her two long, slender, snow-white legs, Huanhuan temporarily took on the role of tour guide for Chen Yuze's family:

"Qingqiu is divided into three parts according to its altitude. The mountain peaks are the sacred sites of Qingqiu and are generally not open to the public."

"Below the mountain peaks and down to the mountainside lies the royal city of Qingqiu. The royal palace and various administrative institutions are located here. Of course, there are also many places in the royal city, such as theaters for drinking tea and listening to music, restaurants for eating and drinking, and brothels that are very attractive. However, if you want to experience the local customs and culture of Qingqiu, I would recommend that you go to the area from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside where ordinary people live."

"Seventy percent of Qingqiu's population actually lives there. Although it is not as prosperous as the royal city, it is not as noisy either. Moreover, most of the residents here are simple and hospitable, which is much more humane than the royal city, where you can hardly move an inch if you don't have money and you will be looked down upon everywhere if you don't have power."

"Huanhuan—"

As Huanhuan became increasingly unrestrained in her speech, Yuanyuan quickly spoke up to stop her.

This is, after all, within the territory of Qingqiu. If someone with ulterior motives were to hear these words, they would inevitably cause trouble for them.

"Sorry sorry~"

Sticking out her tongue playfully, Huanhuan then pointed to the majestic palace atop the distant mountains: "Lady Bao Si is currently residing within the royal city; let's go and meet her first..."

boom--

Before Huanhuan could finish speaking, a deafening explosion came from the spot she pointed to.

Immediately afterwards, countless flames shot into the sky, almost dyeing most of the sky red.

"?"

Chen Yuze was taken aback at first, but then he realized something was wrong.

Because the system was flooding his mind again.

[Ding! A severely injured monster has been detected and requires the host's assistance!]

[Ding! A severely injured monster has been detected and requires the host's assistance!]

"Yuanyuan, Huanhuan, something terrible seems to have happened over there. I'll go check it out first, you two hurry and catch up!"

Taking out a Swiftness Talisman from the system space and slapping it on himself, Chen Yuze, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, transformed into a small whirlwind and rushed straight towards the royal city of Qingqiu.

My dear sister-in-law, please take good care of yourself and don't become the target of the system's spam messages!

……

The interior of the royal palace in Qingqiu Royal City.

Unlike the royal palaces of humans, the royal palace in Qingqiu is merely the queen's bedroom.

Apart from the Queen and a few candidates for sainthood, the entire royal palace had only a few dozen maids responsible for attending to their daily needs.

But at this moment, in the royal palace, an old man exuding a mysterious aura was raising his head high, looking directly into the eyes of the queen on the throne.

"Bai Li, are you crazy?!"

The Queen of Qingqiu looked on incredulously at the old man who had suddenly barged into the royal palace and the group of demon cultivators behind him.

As one of the three pillars of the Qingqiu Elder Council, Bai Li not only possesses cultivation levels comparable to the Queen of Qingqiu, but also has a powerful force behind him that is enough to rival the Queen of Qingqiu.

However, Bai Li never had the idea of ​​replacing the queen and taking sole power for himself.

Until recently, the Queen of Qingqiu made a decision that was enough to shake the very foundation of Qingqiu.

"Bai Hua, I had no intention of being your enemy. But your previous actions have crossed the line of the elders."

The old man named Bai Li slammed his mahogany cane on the ground and clapped his hands in the air behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the demon cultivators who were loyal to Bai Li carried up a six-tailed spirit fox covered in wounds.

Unlike the white foxes of Qingqiu present, this six-tailed spirit fox had gray fur all over its body.

At this moment, she was clearly on the verge of death. Even the light in her eyes had dimmed considerably.

With a twist of his neck, Bai Li tossed the six-tailed spirit fox onto the floor of the main hall like trash.

"Bao Si!"

With a scream, looking at her adopted daughter's miserable appearance, Bai Hua felt as if a nerve in her brain had suddenly snapped.

At that moment, the atmosphere inside the entire royal palace plummeted to freezing point.

This is not a metaphor; the temperature has truly dropped to freezing point.

Countless frost flowers covered the entire palace in an instant.

Some demon cultivators whose cultivation level was insufficient were even frozen on the spot.

With each step Bai Hua took down the stairs, the frost covering the royal palace grew thicker!

When she arrived beside Bao Si and her gaze was level with Bai Li's, the entire palace had completely transformed into a world of ice crystals.

This is the innate divine ability of the Qingqiu White Fox clan: Ice Condensation and Snowfall.

Bai Hua, a female internet cafe manager from Qingqiu and the strongest member of the Qingqiu clan, possesses the bloodline of the Eight-Tailed Fox and is known for her Ice Condensation and Snowfall technique!

And the scope affected by it extends far beyond this single royal palace.

Just now, without warning, a heavy snow began to fall throughout the entire Qingqiu region!

"As expected of you, Bai Hua! Your aptitude for the Eight-Tailed Bloodline is terrifyingly high!"

Even though his beard was frozen solid, the old man named Bai Li seemed rather excited.

A sickly smile had appeared on his face at some point.

Immediately afterwards, two more powerful demonic energies erupted from his palms.

Upon closer inspection, what he held in his hand were none other than the demon cores of the other two elders!

"Bai Hua, do you know how much sacrifice our council of elders made to remove you from your position?"

"The two elders destroyed their own souls just to extract the demon core, so that I could fight you!!!"

077. I, Bao Si, have a well-thought-out plan (Third update)

Several days before Chen Yuze arrived in Qingqiu.

Inside a secluded demon cave in Qingqiu, three old men were having a heated discussion.

These three are the three pillars of the Qingqiu Elders' Council—Bai Li, Bai Chou, and Bai He.

The reason they gathered here was to counter the Queen of Qingqiu's incomprehensible new policy—opening up the mountains.

Since ancient times, the fox spirits of Qingqiu have rarely intermarried with other races. There are also few records of outsiders registering as citizens of Qingqiu.

The reason why the Qingqiu clan is so xenophobic is not without reason.

Firstly, Qingqiu is indeed a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, and it has never lacked talents from all walks of life, so there is no reason to bring them in from other tribes.

Secondly, the exclusionary measures can also help the Qingqiu white fox maintain good bloodline stability.

This differs from the human cultivators' belief that "my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," and that everyone has the potential to become an immortal.

Monsters often have a much stronger concept of bloodline.

This isn't a matter of looking up to or down on a beast; rather, the more ancient and pure a beast's bloodline, the higher its cultivation ceiling will indeed be.

Qingqiu, on the other hand, has every right to be xenophobic.

There's an old saying among the demon race: "The nine tails of the world each have eight bushels, with Qingqiu and Tushan each taking one bushel. The fox demons of the world owe Qingqiu and Tushan one bushel and two bushels."

This shows that the bloodline of Qingqiu is indeed terrifying.

If they are assimilated and corrupted by wild foxes from other tribes, it is highly likely that this bloodline will be destroyed.

Moreover, there is another characteristic after intermarriage between demons and beasts—the rarer the bloodline, the less likely it is to be inherited.

To give a simple example, the most common fox demons in the cultivation world are divided into brown foxes and black foxes.

The cultivation ceiling of the black fox is slightly lower than that of the brown fox, but its bloodline inheritance rate is ridiculously high.

A black fox and a white fox intermarried, and their offspring was a black fox.

When a black fox and a red fox intermarry, their offspring will also be black foxes.

A black fox and a brown fox intermarried, and their offspring turned out to be a black fox!

Imagine if a black fox were to become a citizen of Qingqiu and obtain permission to intermarry; the consequences would be terrifying.

It wouldn't even take a century; the Black Fox's powerful bloodline inheritance rate would be enough to completely sever the bloodline of the Qingqiu clan.

Qingqiu White Fox?

Hilarious! Qingqiu only has black foxes!

The "opening up of the mountain" that the current Queen of Qingqiu refers to means actively opening the mountain gates to attract other outstanding fox clansmen into Qingqiu.

Although the prerequisite for being absorbed into Qingqiu is that one must be outstanding enough.

But foreigners are still foreigners after all.

No one can guarantee what will happen after the bloodline of Qingqiu is merged with it.

No one would be willing to gamble the entire future of an entire clan on this unstable factor.

At least the vast majority of the elders would disagree.

However, to the elders' surprise, the current queen seemed to be possessed by some evil spirit, and insisted on going against all advice to carry out the 'mountain-opening' project, which would directly shake the foundation of the Qingqiu clan.

The most outrageous thing is that she even adopted a gray fox as her goddaughter and named it a candidate for sainthood.

What is a Saintess candidate? It is one of the strong heirs to the throne of Qingqiu!

Even though Bao Si was exceptionally talented, she had already developed a terrifying six-tailed bloodline at a young age.

However, the Qingqiu White Fox clan would never agree to let an outsider gray fox become the next queen.

As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Who knows what kind of place Qingqiu will become once it falls into the hands of a woman like this?
