Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

"So why do we have to transform into this form?"

Wei Qingye—no, perhaps he should be called Di Qingye—had already transformed into a black fox.

Even though he had become a fox, he still retained an unmistakable air of charisma. Seeing a black fox swaggering around with a bamboo sword was indeed quite rare.

Li Ye, on the other hand, had transformed into a white fox, which he found quite displeasing because the color white inherently carries a certain sacred and strangely enchanting allure.

Despite his efforts to appear more ordinary, the soft glowing fur and the inherent charm of the Fox Race made him stand out remarkably.

It hadn't taken long for many from the Fox Race to cast glances his way, even forcing local specialties upon him...

There were both males and females.

Even young foxes were offering him the food they had caught, referring to him as "big brother." From this alone, it seemed these Earth Wishing Spirit Foxes were quite friendly.

He curiously observed the streets around him, which were filled with stalls run by various Fox Race members, selling mostly fruits, and rarely any meat.

Why did it appear so different from the outside world?

Meanwhile, Chen Mo had transformed into a gray fox, and among the distinctly conspicuous black, white, and red foxes, he seemed to have become almost invisible, much to his dissatisfaction.

He glanced at Wei Qingye and said, "Since we are heading to the Earth Desire Fox Race's most important ginseng fields, though both my junior and I have already sent out a messaging jade talisman, it will still take some time for our senior brothers and uncles to arrive.

If we are discovered, it would not be good.

We should be more cautious."

Li Ye agreed, "The axe shadow that appeared in Di Xia's eyes may be an unprecedented spirit treasure. It will surely take some effort to find it."

He already had a suspicion.

Could it be the "Heaven Opening Divine Axe"?

Although surely a replica, just the name suggests how extraordinary it is.

Treasure Lotus Lamp and Heaven Opening Divine Axe... tsk.

He gazed at the splendid rainbow-colored Grotto Heaven, quite eager to see what would happen next.

However, after just a few steps.

Di Xia suddenly shivered, his big tail puffing up.

He whispered, "Lords... they are here!"

Seeing not far off on the street.

Several foxes with multicolored fur, exceptionally smooth and somewhat elegant, were swaggering along.

Especially their head fur, swaying freely with the wind.

Though merely foxes, they exuded an air of unbridled arrogance.

They looked at the items on the stalls on both sides, picking them up to eat without any regard for ownership.

The fox vendors were indignant yet dared not speak out.

More infuriatingly, they commented while eating:

"This Earth Spirit Peach is too bland."

"Are you reluctant to use Spiritual Spring water, or have you run out of Spirit Stones at home, how dare you serve such braised rabbit meat?"

"Yuck, it's really awful, shows that your inferior bloodline produces nothing good!"

Obviously, in the Earth Desire Cave Heaven, the purity of the bloodline meant everything—

Understandably so, for Spirit Beasts value bloodline significantly. Unlike the Human Race, who can cultivate with just a Spirit Root, Spirit Beasts with impure bloodlines are much inferior to their kind.

In the Spirit Race, where strength reigns supreme, the stronger naturally occupy higher positions, so through generations, pure bloodlines have become paramount.

A few dandy foxes suddenly seemed to sense something.

They looked over this way.

The first thing they saw was the shivering Di Xia.

The leader, whose fur was a deep blue like sapphire, smiled and said, "Yo, isn't this young brother Di Xia."

As soon as he said that.

He suddenly noticed Li Ye, transformed into a white fox.

Not only him, but the remaining dandy foxes also noticed Li Ye.

Just for a moment.

Li Ye nearly decided to strike them down with a bolt of heavenly lightning.

However, unexpectedly, their expressions turned solemn, and they bent over in extreme caution:

"This... brother."

"You must be of the Mother God's direct lineage!"

"What beautiful fur, so beautiful..."

Previously ready to fight, Wei Qingye and Chen Mo exchanged glances and smirked with interest, crossing their arms to watch the show.

Li Ye: "..."

He forced a smile.

Maybe it would be better to just cause a scene.

Skin these creatures and break their bones; with the Jianmu's heavenly spikes set, this Grotto Heaven isn't going anywhere.

Fortunately, before he acted.

The blue fox finally regained some sanity, respectfully bowing to invite, "Brother, with such pure bloodline, you could surely awaken the treasure sealed in the Lotus Pond.

Even obtaining the slightest part of its power, you could roam the world unhindered!"

Oh?

Li Ye was no longer angry.

If he could take the item first, it would save a lot of effort.

However, he couldn't help but feel that these foxes seemed overly attentive?

Did they plan to trick him somehow?

Or perhaps.

Thoughtfully, he observed the blue fox closely for a while, and suddenly had a plan in mind.

Then he smiled slightly, his fox-like peach blossom eyes slightly tilted, radiating a brilliant light like the sunshine, neither seductive nor enchanting: "Alright."

And so the dandy foxes eagerly surrounded him, moving forward while speaking flatteringly.
