Chapter 87: Seed of Spiritual Jade
***
In a secluded corner where no one would notice.
“What use could this thing possibly have?”
Xiao Bai gazed at the Seed of Vital Essence glowing faintly before her, her delicate nose wrinkling slightly.
Logically speaking, a Seed of Vital Essence would be a good item for the fox clan to enhance their strength.
But with her current cultivation level, the benefits this seed could bring were really limited, almost negligible.
At her current state, probably only someone with a special physique like Lin Muyu could significantly boost her strength…
But she knew in her heart that she wasn’t like Su Wanqing, who had both the excuse and the courage to do such things.
If she dared to act like Su Wanqing, forget about whether the contract she signed with Lin Muyu would backlash against her.
Just letting Xinlian find out would probably turn her beautiful fox fur into a beautiful fox fur coat.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai quickly shook her head, casting aside this unrealistic thought.
Then she focused her attention on the Seed of Vital Essence.
This Seed of Vital Essence belonged to Ye Fan. Just thinking about using it made Xiao Bai feel uncomfortable all over, as if she had been contaminated with something dirty.
How should she use it?
Xiao Bai circled around the Seed of Vital Essence twice, her fluffy tail unconsciously sweeping the ground.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up with inspiration.
“I’ve got it! Why not transform it into a Seed of Spiritual Jade!”
A so-called Seed of Spiritual Jade was essentially like a spirit stone that could automatically nurture spiritual energy.
More precisely, it was like a portable ultra-miniature spiritual vein that continuously produced spiritual energy.
For an individual cultivator, it could greatly increase the concentration of spiritual energy around them, significantly boosting their cultivation speed.
Although this thing was useless for someone of her cultivation level, using it as an apology gift for Lin Muyu would be perfect.
After all, she was the professional bodyguard who failed to protect her little master… Thinking of this, Xiao Bai’s ears drooped down.
The precious nature of a Seed of Spiritual Jade need not be mentioned, the conditions for creating one were extremely harsh.
The most crucial point was extracting a Seed of Vital Essence or Seed of Yin Essence.
And this type of special secret technique could only be learned by their fox clan, it was an innate special talent of the fox clan.
Even the Hehuan Sect, who were proficient in dual cultivation techniques, couldn’t master it.
Moreover, this was a forbidden technique of the fox clan. Currently, counting them all, only 3 foxes in the entire fox clan knew this spell.
One was the Fox Empress who ruled over the entire fox clan.
Another was the High Priest of the Fox Clan who managed all fox clan affairs, which was Xiao Bai herself.
And the third was the leader of the charm fox clan, Xiaomeihu.
Xiao Bai had learned this extraction technique from Xiaomeihu.
To learn this technique, she even slept with Xiaomeihu for a night.
Don’t get the wrong idea, it was just proper sleeping. She had always regarded Xiaomeihu as a younger sister.
It’s just that Xiaomeihu, for some reason, always liked to cling to her. Even though she was already a leader herself, she still acted like a clingy little girl.
Of course, to transform into a Seed of Spiritual Jade, the extracted Seed of Vital Essence had to be powerful enough to withstand the transformative power of supreme-grade spirit stones.
This Seed of Vital Essence from Ye Fan was indeed quite powerful.
It was a full size larger than all the Seeds of Vital Essence she had seen at Xiaomeihu’s place, and the power contained within was much more substantial.
Xiao Bai couldn’t help but be curious, why was Ye Fan’s Seed of Vital Essence so unique?
“Mm, I still need 10 supreme-grade spirit stones.”
Speaking of these supreme-grade spirit stones, Xiao Bai couldn’t help but click her tongue in distress.
After all, managing various fox clan affairs was really costly in terms of spirit stones.
She didn’t have much savings to begin with, and every single stone had to be carefully budgeted.
Fortunately, when Xinlian had captured her earlier, Xinlian didn’t demand she hand over these spirit stones.
Otherwise, with Xinlian’s abilities, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to keep them.
Thinking this, Xiao Bai’s 6 tails behind her swayed gently, and the tip of one tail elegantly traced through the air.
A small spatial crack appeared silently, with flickering points of light faintly visible within the fissure.
Then, one tail reached into the crack and carefully extracted 10 supreme-grade spirit stones radiating rich spiritual energy, arranging them neatly in front of her.
She concentrated and gathered her energy, mobilizing the extremely powerful demonic energy within her body, and forcefully crushed these 10 supreme-grade spirit stones.
Instantly, a massive amount of spiritual energy, almost condensed into physical form, erupted like a fountain with heart-palpitating fluctuations.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai hurriedly increased her demonic energy output, firmly wrapping up this violent spiritual energy to prevent it from dispersing in all directions.
She then quickly added the Seed of Vital Essence into the spiritual energy mass.
The two forces slowly merged under the restraint of her demonic energy. The process didn’t create too much turbulence, and everything seemed to proceed according to plan.
“Fox fire, ignite!”
Xiao Bai called out softly, and one of her tails instantly turned fiery red.
Immediately after, a mystical purple-red flame rose from her fox tail.
It enveloped both the wrapped spiritual energy and the Seed of Vital Essence, beginning to slowly roast them.
In that instant, under the high-temperature roasting of the fox fire, both the massive spiritual energy and the Seed of Vital Essence began to violently surge.
They were like trapped beasts, frantically striking the prison cage formed by dense demonic energy, trying to escape this scorching confinement.
But all of this was futile. Under Xiao Bai’s powerful demonic energy restraint, they could only keep colliding within the cage.
Gradually, the violent momentum began to weaken, and the two forces started to slowly fuse together.
“Be good and merge together!”
Xiao Bai’s lips curved into a confident smile as she once again increased the temperature of the fox fire and the output of her demonic energy.
Instantly, the massive spiritual energy suddenly contracted, as if it had found its home, and completely merged into the Seed of Vital Essence.
Slowly, this originally golden-colored seed began to gradually grow larger, with spiritual energy and vital essence power interweaving and flowing within it.
Until it finally formed an egg-sized, jade-green seed with a faint halo surrounding its surface.
“Mission accomplished! This fox is indeed quite capable.”
Xiao Bai looked at the Seed of Spiritual Jade before her, her face showing a proud expression.
She succeeded on her first attempt at smelting, much better than a certain fox who only succeeded once after thousands of attempts.
After succeeding, Xiao Bai gently picked up the Seed of Spiritual Jade with one tail and examined it carefully.
The surface of this Seed of Spiritual Jade was smooth and translucent, without a trace of impurity, with a gentle luster flowing across it.
Moreover, mild and mellow spiritual energy continuously emanated from within, surrounding her and making her feel very comfortable.
“Not bad, not bad. The fox fire really did burn away all traces of that disgusting guy’s aura.”
Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction.
If this Seed of Spiritual Jade had even the slightest trace of Ye Fan’s aura remaining, she would definitely sell it without hesitation, even if it meant losing some spirit stones!
“I wonder if that little girl will be a bit happier when she receives this gift?”
Thinking of Lin Muyu’s pale little face, Xiao Bai’s fox ears unconsciously drooped down again, and she murmured to herself with a hint of worry in her tone.
…
“Time to wake up~”
