RPAGF Chapter 153 Moon Worshiping Fox
Chapter 153 Moon Worshiping Fox
Gu Yuchuan activated his invisibility talent and began to observe them from the shadows. The old man appeared to be a fox demon at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but he was very old and his movements were somewhat slow, indicating that his lifespan was running out. Below him were eight little foxes, five of which actually possessed bloodlines.
Suddenly, Gu Yuchuan's breathing slowed down. He actually saw a low-grade spirit beast, a pure white little fox with two fluffy tails that looked very cute. However, its cultivation level was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Although Gu Yuchuan himself was a mid-grade spirit beast and had an older brother who was a high-grade spirit beast, in reality, a spirit beast in Yunhai Marsh could be taken as a direct subordinate or disciple by a Golden Core Demon King.
Gu Yuchuan did have some ideas. He could take this little fox as his disciple and train him properly. He would definitely be a talent, and keeping him at home would be of great use.
His remaining seven siblings consisted of three ordinary beasts, two low-grade demonic beasts, and two mid-grade demonic beasts. Compared to this precious gem, they seemed rather ordinary.
He watched them from the air, still wanting to test their character. However, it seemed that the old man was quite strict with them in his daily discipline, and they studied very diligently. It seemed that their character wouldn't be a big problem, which was good; they were able to endure the hardships of cultivation.
Gu Yuchuan no longer concealed himself and landed in the courtyard. He released his demonic aura to let the other party know that he was not a human cultivator and that there was nothing to fear.
The old man was poised and generous. He put down the book in his hand and straightened his clothes. "I am Hu Wei. I greet you, senior. I wonder why you have come to us so late. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Gu Yuchuan didn't speak directly, but instead turned his gaze to the little fox spirit beast, who understood immediately.
"This is my granddaughter, named Hu Mingyu. Senior should be able to tell that she is related to me."
The other party's attitude was generous and open, as if they had some kind of backing. But then again, this is the territory of the Liren race. If these Qi Refining stage demon races didn't have some kind of backing, how could they possibly survive here?
"That's right, I want to take her as my disciple. What do you think?"
Hu Wei remained neither humble nor arrogant, and did not immediately agree just because Gu Yuchuan was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Senior, I am the clerk of the City God of Chaoyang City, and I have a certain amount of influence in Chaoyang City. Of course, I have great respect for you, but you must tell me your name so that I can consider it before deciding whether to agree or not.”
It turned out to be the City God's clerk. The City God was a cultivator of the divine path. Although his cultivation was inferior to Gu Yuchuan's, the unique characteristic of cultivators of the divine path—being semi-invincible in the divine realm—meaned that even Gu Yuchuan might not be able to defeat him in this city. These foxes were protected by the City God, no wonder they were able to survive so well.
"That was my rudeness. I am Gu Yuchuan, the Lord of Mingxi, from the outer edge of Yunhai Marsh, with an eighth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation, a mid-grade spirit beast, and a second-level weapon refiner. Are you satisfied with my identity, Azure Scale Demon General?"
Any one of these identities would be incredibly impressive, giving Hu Wei a sense of unreality.
"Senior, are you really from the Holy Land?" He spoke very quickly, clearly shocked and wanting to confirm the matter as soon as possible.
"That's right, what's there to fake? I've come to the human race this time to handle some matters."
"Mingyu, come here, kneel down, and wish your master a Happy New Year."
Mingyu walked over, lay down on all fours, and kowtowed several times to Gu Yuchuan. Her voice was soft and sweet, and she sounded quite young: "Mingyu greets Master."
Gu Yuchuan took out a treasure umbrella from his bosom: "Good disciple, you are my first disciple. I am a weapon refiner with a rich reputation. I can't be stingy when you become my disciple. However, your cultivation level is too low. This top-grade magic weapon, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella, is for you. This magic weapon is good in both offense and defense, enough for you to use until you reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."
Gu Yuchuan's offer of a thousand spirit stones left them all dumbfounded, and Mingyu dared not accept it.
“Master, this is too precious. Mingyu is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. A mid-grade magic weapon is the most suitable for her. This precious treasure should stay with you, Master.”
It's clear that Hu Wei's teachings to them are very good. Being able to maintain one's true self in the face of temptation is an excellent quality of character. This kind of character can make it less likely for cultivators to develop inner demons during cultivation, which will definitely have many benefits for their practice.
“Take it. You are my disciple, not my subordinate. After becoming my disciple, our fates are intertwined. I am going to train you well. After we return to the demon race, I will take you to find the Demon King and buy you a good cultivation method.”
Mingyu had just stood up when she knelt down again: "Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely be filial to you in the future, listen to your words, and cultivate diligently."
Gu Yuchuan laughed when he heard this. It's good enough that you have such a heart.
"Alright, but you will have to stay here. I have some things to take care of and will be back in about ten days. You should focus on your cultivation and pass on the teachings to your family. You won't be back for much longer."
After saying this, Mingyu's eyes showed a hint of sadness. Although becoming an apprentice to a senior was a happy thing, leaving her family was indeed a bit painful.
Gu Yuchuan took out two items from his pocket. The first was a jade tablet: "This contains my magic power. It can protect you when you are attacked. Hold it for self-defense. Once it is activated, I will be able to sense it. Even if I can't come, I will find someone to rescue you. Keep it safe."
The other was a storage bag, which he handed to Hu Wei: "I took your granddaughter away, so it wouldn't be right to leave you with nothing. Here is a bottle of Jade Sprout Pill. Take it to recover your condition. Maybe you can try to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. However, your blood and qi have already begun to decline, so the success rate is definitely not high."
The other person took the storage bag, his eyes were very cloudy, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Alright, I have other things to do. You all continue with your tasks. Mingyu, wait for your master to come and get you."
He didn't mention having their whole family come with him. After all, they had a certain foundation here, and they couldn't bring themselves to do it. Besides, the rest of them would only be his subordinates if they went. They were all relatives, some as subordinates, some as mistresses, which would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
Soon, Gu Yuchuan arrived in the city. Hu Wei gave him a jade token, which was Hu Wei's own identity token. He could use this to board the flying boat, which solved a small problem for him.
