Chapter 57: Mini Frostmouse
“A ferocious beast?” Jing Yue's eyes widened. What sort of operation was this?
Qin Yanzhi, “A Tranquil Fox.”
It turned out that Qin Yanzhi came from a noble family in Central Continent.
Although Qin Yanzhi had little involvement with the family since joining Sword Inscription Sect, the patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Zhanpeng, was fast approaching his thousand-year-old birthday. Qin Yanzhi's parents died young, and he was raised by Qin Zhanpeng for a while when he was a child. Since he happened to be in Central Continent again at this time, he should join the celebration no matter what.
However, Qin Zhanpeng had been unable to progress further since achieving the Golden Core stage, and now his lifespan was almost exhausted, his cultivation gradually dissipating, and he was about to turn mortal. Many years ago, his spiritual dais had been severely injured by a fierce beast. Unable to withstand the impact of a rare treasure of heaven and earth, Qin Yanzhi wanted to find a Tranquil Fox for him. Even if he was unable to fight against fate, at least he could restore his body and prolong his life for decades.
Jing Yue knew that the internal core of the Tranquil Fox could indeed maintain the spiritual dais, but not only was this creature scarce in numbers, it was also born with a talent for space teleportation, which made it very difficult to capture.
He said, “This matter is a bit troublesome. Firstly, the beast-suppression talisman is targeted at spirit beasts. I don’t know if it is effective for fierce beasts. Secondly, I’ve never done this before and I don’t have any knowledge about it. Thirdly, the Tranquil Fox is too obscure. I heard that even old man Tianxiang spent almost his entire life looking for it and only found a few.”
Qin Yanzhi, “I know but I still want to give it a try.”
Jing Yue looked at him earnestly and said, “Qin-zhenjun, I don’t want to hide this from you. So far, I only succeeded in refining a beast-suppression charm against the wood sparrow, while others are still in the exploratory stage. If the spirit beast is already like this, let alone the fierce beast? I really don’t have the confidence. Why don’t you approach Wu Dao-zhenren instead?”
