773: Snow fox, porcelain vase

Upon hearing this news, Ji Wuchang almost couldn't resist the urge to turn himself in just to earn those five million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

However, considering he was merely a passerby in Mang Province, he felt there was truly no need to spend too much time entangled with them.

The affairs of Mang Province should be left to the Sects of Mang Province to resolve; he decided he might as well just leave.

He truly did not want to stay in Mang Province any longer. During this period, he had specifically made secret inquiries about the Five Elements Treasure Blood, but there had been no news at all.

Ji Wuchang wandered around Snow River City. This city was actually more prosperous than Bofeng City; the Ice Snow Sect had clearly put effort into this place!

Most of the industries here were self-operated by the Ice Snow Sect, and they were managed by category, making everything clear at a glance.

He strolled for half a day and bought a few items, then prepared to find an inn to stay in.

Just then, a powerful aura appeared above Snow River City, and the pressure of a ninth-level Celestial Phenomenon Realm was revealed from the person's body.

An old man who looked to be in his sixties appeared in the sky.

"Fellow Daoists, a Rank Six Snow Fox of my Ice Snow Sect has escaped. If any Fellow Daoist sees it, please provide a clue; this old man will surely reward you handsomely."

The old man spoke with a smile, his words spreading throughout the entirety of Snow River City.

This old man's name was Qin Xiaodong, the Fifth Elder of the Ice Snow Sect and the person stationed in Snow River City.

Snow River City served as the gateway to the Ice Snow Sect, so it naturally required a powerful expert to guard it, and Qin Xiaodong was the chosen candidate.

When the Cultivators of Snow River City heard this, their eyes instantly lit up. Someone smiled and said, "Rest assured, Elder Qin. If we see it, we will definitely notify you!"

Qin Xiaodong smiled and cupped his fists; his figure then faded and vanished without a trace.

Ji Wuchang did not take this matter to heart, nor did he know what a Snow Fox was.

He found an inn, requested a room, and then sat cross-legged to begin his Cultivation.

At his feet, the Night Beast lay prone. As the night deepened, it almost merged into one with the darkness.

At that moment, the Night Beast stood up, its body turning into a streak of ghostly light as it disappeared directly from the room.

Although Ji Wuchang knew, he didn't take it seriously because it wasn't the first time the Night Beast had done this!

He continued to Cultivate as before.

In the middle of the night, he sensed the Night Beast's return, but at the same time, there was an additional, special aura.

Ji Wuchang instantly opened his eyes. Not far away, beside the Night Beast, a snowy-white figure had appeared.

This was also a Vicious Beast, pure white all over without a single stray hair, forming a sharp contrast with the Night Beast's pitch-black body.

Ji Wuchang was startled after just one look; he immediately saw that massive white tail.

The tail was almost as thick as its body, covered in long, snowy-white fur, and was very beautiful.

"Snow Fox!"

Ji Wuchang exclaimed in surprise. He was quite shocked that the Night Beast had gone out and actually abducted a Vicious Beast back with it.

"Ji Wuchang, there's something strange about this Snow Fox. It has swallowed a drop of special blood within its body."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the essence blood of a Rank Eight Sky Fox!"

Just then, Ji Yaoyao's voice rang out, and her figure flew out from the Storage Ring on Ji Wuchang's hand. She looked at the Snow Fox with a face full of delight.

Ji Yaoyao's sudden appearance made the Snow Fox instantly alert. Its body couldn't help but tense up, ready to flee at any moment.

"Little fellow, how about following me? I'll help you refine that drop of essence blood in your body!"

Ji Yaoyao spoke to the Snow Fox, her eyes sparkling; she had taken a liking to this little fellow at first sight.

The Snow Fox seemed to understand Ji Yaoyao's words. Without any apparent movement, its entire body took flight and lunged directly into Ji Yaoyao's embrace.

Ji Yaoyao was very satisfied, reaching out to stroke the Snow Fox's snowy-white fur.

Her figure gradually faded, and then, taking the Snow Fox with her, she vanished directly into the Storage Ring.

"Ji Wuchang, you should leave quickly. People from the Ice Snow Sect have sensed the Snow Fox's aura and are already chasing after you!"

Ji Yaoyao's voice rang in Ji Wuchang's ear.

Ji Wuchang gave a bitter smile, picked up the Night Beast, and with a flicker of his body, vanished instantly.

Less than a breath after he left, Qin Xiaodong arrived with his people, followed by a man and a woman.

The woman held a mirror in her hand and frowned, saying, "Fifth Elder, the aura disappeared here!"

Qin Xiaodong closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then abruptly opened them and said, "He just left. Damn it, that was something the Old Ancestor specifically entrusted to us."

A look of fury appeared in Qin Xiaodong's eyes, with killing intent surging within them.

It wasn't that the Rank Six Snow Fox was particularly precious; what was precious was that drop of Sky Fox essence blood it had swallowed and the porcelain bottle it had carried away.

That drop of essence blood was said to belong to a Sky Fox that was infinitely close to Rank Nine, which the Ice Snow Sect had obtained at a massive cost.

Now it was great—it had actually been consumed by a Snow Fox. If the Old Ancestor found out, he would be in deep trouble.

The Old Ancestor had originally intended to use this drop of Sky Fox essence blood to attempt a Breakthrough in his Realm.

One must know that the Ice Snow Sect's Old Ancestor was already at the fourth level of the supreme realm. If he broke through, he would be at the fifth level, comparable to the Supreme Xiong Long.

As for that porcelain bottle, even Qin Xiaodong didn't know what it was, but it seemed to be even more precious than the Sky Fox essence blood.

"Fifth Elder, I'll go get the shopkeeper and ask exactly who was staying here."

The male Disciple cupped his fists to Qin Xiaodong and immediately left after receiving a nod of approval.

Soon, the inn's shopkeeper and attendants were brought over, but their answers disappointed Qin Xiaodong.

Neither the shopkeeper nor the attendants had seen the person's appearance clearly, only saying that he looked very young.

Qin Xiaodong left helplessly, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

For the rest of the night, Qin Xiaodong led his people in a search, but unfortunately, they found no useful clues.

By now, Ji Wuchang had arrived at a special location, an uninhabited house.

It wasn't that he wanted to come here, but the Night Beast had led him to it.

Just as Ji Wuchang was completely bewildered, the Night Beast's body moved like a ghost and vanished without a trace.

A moment later, the Night Beast appeared, carrying a porcelain bottle in its mouth!

When the Night Beast delivered the porcelain bottle into Ji Wuchang's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his expression instantly became serious.

The porcelain bottle was covered in various runes. These runes combined to form a special Seal, sealing the bottle.

Judging solely by the Seal on the porcelain bottle, one could tell that the contents were not simple.

Ji Wuchang hesitated for a moment, picked up the Night Beast, and his body vanished instantly. When he reappeared, he was inside a room.

This was also an inn. This room was unoccupied tonight, so Ji Wuchang decided to borrow it for a while!

He looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand. For some reason, he felt that if he opened it, it might bring about enormous trouble.
