There.

A white fox, with some charred fur, was cautiously peering at Ji Haoyuan.

Coincidentally, it met Ji Haoyuan's gaze.

"Squeak squeak..."

The white fox seemed startled, immediately covering its eyes with its front paws.

But through the gaps of its paws, its shiny black eyes continued to sneak glances at Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan showed no expression.

Because if he wasn't mistaken, the cold, stern man appeared here due to chasing this white fox.

As a result, six or seven cultivators had died here.

The cold, stern man fared even worse.

A respectable mid-stage Golden Core cultivator died directly by his hand.

Fortunately, the Cultivation Realm of Wu Country was quite far from them.

As long as in the future he doesn't encounter anyone from the Hundred Beasts Sect, even if they try to track him down, it should be unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Nevertheless, this indeed brought him some trouble.

Therefore...

Ji Haoyuan's figure suddenly disappeared from his original spot.

When he appeared again, he was already close to the white fox.

Then he reached out his hand to grab.

Before the white fox could react to what was happening, it found itself being lifted by Ji Haoyuan.

"Squeak squeak..."

The white fox became anxious.

It called out to Ji Haoyuan while frantically gesturing with its paws.

As if trying to express something.

However, Ji Haoyuan was unmoved.

But at this moment, Lin Qingwu from afar had already approached him.

Looking at the white fox that Ji Haoyuan held like a chick, Lin Qingwu immediately said to Ji Haoyuan:

"True Man, I just heard the others say that this is a Treasure Spirit Fox."

"Treasure Spirit Fox?"

Upon hearing this name, Ji Haoyuan's eyes immediately narrowed.

The so-called Treasure Spirit Fox, as the name suggests, is a type of demon beast capable of finding various treasures.

No.

This shouldn't be classified as a demon beast, but as a Celestial Beast.

They are favored by this world.

And different Celestial Beasts are said to have unique special abilities.

Unexpectedly, the creature in his hand had such a remarkable origin.

No wonder the cultivators from the Hundred Beasts Sect had been tirelessly pursuing it.

It is no exaggeration to say, having it, in the future if one seeks treasure or enters places like the Thousand Streams Secret Realm, one won't worry about not finding truly valuable treasures.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but lower his head and seriously look at the white fox still in his hand.

The white fox again called "Squeak squeak" to him.

The next moment, the white fox suddenly spat out a drop resembling a ruby-like Blood Pearl, which quietly floated in front of Ji Haoyuan.

Seeing this, even Ji Haoyuan was taken aback.

After a while.

He finally spoke: "Are you intending to accept me as your master?"

"Squeak squeak..."

The white fox nodded eagerly and then pointed at the floating Blood Pearl with its paw.

Did it sense something special about me?

Or did it consider me an invaluable treasure?

Ji Haoyuan knew well, Celestial Beasts are born of a certain fortune of the world, and won't easily accept a master.

Now the Treasure Spirit Fox actively wants to accept him as its master, there must be a reason.

It might be related to his own...

Ji Haoyuan's eyes flashed.

Without further thought, he reached out towards the Blood Pearl.

Since it wants to accept him as its master, it can only benefit him without any drawbacks.

He had no reason to refuse.

Buzz!

At this moment, intricate runes appeared on the floating Blood Pearl.

Immediately, the Blood Pearl transformed into a streak of light, merging into Ji Haoyuan's finger.

In an instant, streams of information flowed through Ji Haoyuan's heart, giving him a clearer understanding of the Treasure Spirit Fox.

This fox not only has the ability to locate treasures but also can elevate the grade of certain treasures.

This is what's most incredible about the fox.

Just unclear how the ability to elevate treasure grades is limited and if there are any specific constraints.

Once back, perhaps a thorough research is worthwhile.

"Squeak squeak..."

At this point, the Treasure Spirit Fox swiftly climbed onto Ji Haoyuan's shoulder, pointing towards the depths of the forest ahead.

"Hmm, are you saying there are some worthwhile treasures inside?"

After the Treasure Spirit Fox accepted Ji Haoyuan as master, Ji Haoyuan could understand some of the meanings the Treasure Spirit Fox wanted to express.

The Treasure Spirit Fox nodded repeatedly to Ji Haoyuan.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan thoughtfully nodded.

Then his gaze turned to Lin Qingwu and others, and he said:

"Hall Master Lin, you should head back first.

Please do not disclose today's events.

Also, regarding the compensation for those people, apply the highest standard."

Hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, Lin Qingwu and the cultivators beside her immediately made a Dao Heart vow, ensuring the details of today's event will not be revealed to others.

Evidently, they knew well, whether Ji Haoyuan killed the cold, stern man or obtained the Treasure Spirit Fox, these were not matters to be casually discussed.

Thus, with full understanding, they made a Dao Heart vow before Ji Haoyuan.

Regarding this, Ji Haoyuan said nothing, but he was quite pleased with Lin Qingwu's discretion in his heart.

Once Lin Qingwu and the others left, Ji Haoyuan collected the Thundercloud Leopard's corpse and the storage ring from the cold, stern man.

Then he tossed a flame that completely incinerated the cold, stern man's corpse.

After finishing all this, Ji Haoyuan spoke to the Treasure Spirit Fox on his shoulder.

"Let's go, let me see what treasures lie ahead, hopefully they won't disappoint me."

"Squeak squeak..."

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, the Treasure Spirit Fox squeaked in dissatisfaction, seemingly expressing defiance.

Ji Haoyuan chuckled lightly.

Then, without hesitation, guided by the Treasure Spirit Fox, he quickly came to a secluded cave.

"Squeak squeak..."

The Treasure Spirit Fox soon gestured to Ji Haoyuan twice.

Ji Haoyuan's eyes seemed to penetrate through obstacles, quickly gazing at the underground of the cave.

"You mean the treasure is below this cave?"

The Treasure Spirit Fox nodded earnestly.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan hesitated not.

The Magical Treasure Primordial Star Sword was immediately summoned by him, slashing at the ground below.

Swoosh!

Instantly, a pit about ten feet wide and dozens of feet deep appeared before Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

And following this pit, Ji Haoyuan soon saw the true situation below.
