58: Strange sand fox! Sneak attack on Juejiafang Market!!

Qiu Ya couldn't help but rub her forehead as she looked at the innocent Wang Teng.

It was hard to imagine that this was an Immortal Seedling from a Dao Foundation Immortal Clan.

Should she say he had a pure heart, or that he was brainless?

He had been played for a fool, one trick after another.

But then again... Young Master's schemes were so layered, no matter who came, they wouldn't be able to tell if he was speaking the truth or lying, making it truly impossible to guard against!

The giant ice wall began to tear, only for a new ice wall to rise from the ground!

Within the Yunmai Heshui Formation, the water vapor was dense, so the ice wall extended very quickly.

And it was also much harder.

Furthermore, Shen Li was a water and wood-affiliated Immortal Seedling. Unlike the difficulty of cultivating Little Sand Burial Technique, Shen Li found cultivating Frost Wall and Little Wind and Snow Technique incredibly easy.

It was as if he had Innate wisdom.

Streaks of Lingyin appeared, then descended like threads!

Azure blue seals were released, and the connected Spiritual Qi accumulated dark clouds in the sky.

Snowflakes drifted down. This Yellow Sand Plains had not seen snow for hundreds, even thousands of years.

What's more, how could these beasts have seen such a sight?

Their skin was tough, able to withstand the sandstorms of the Yellow Sand Plains. Their sense of smell was keen, allowing them to clearly distinguish the location of Spiritual Essence and Lingyin.

Their endurance was incredibly strong, allowing them to travel thousands of miles in a single day under the scorching sun.

But they had, after all, not developed organs to deal with rain and ice.

They had maxed out physical resistance, but negative magic resistance.

However, this couldn't be blamed on them. After all, having been born in the Yellow Sand Plains, when had they ever seen wind and snow?

The strongest one quickly knelt on the ground, trembling.

The wind blades were no longer released as recklessly as before. A lot of heat appeared on its scales, helping its kin.

The rest of the foals and mares gathered around the lead horse. They often did this to avoid sandstorms.

It was just that the temperature of their Physical Body was getting lower and lower... and their Qi was becoming more and more listless.

Seeing this, Shen Li calmly withdrew his palm and said,

“Brother Wang, you should have learned the control methods within the Lingyin Technique, right?”

Wang Teng was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion,

“What Lingyin Technique? What control method?”

A black line appeared on Shen Li's forehead.

“Doesn't your Wang Family's pre-school education include the Lingyin Technique?”

“It does!” Wang Teng nodded as if it were obvious.

“Then why didn't you learn it?”

“Why learn that trash? I can Cultivate small fire-attribute Arts directly; I don't need to Cultivate that thing to build a foundation, do I?”

Shen Li glanced at him, shaking his head repeatedly.

Where did this freak come from...

Seeing this, the helpless Shen Li had no choice but to float down and enter the ice wall!

The lead horse stumbled to its feet, its eyes flashing with danger.

The Spiritual Qi of wind blades flickered even more at its brow.

Shen Li waved his hand, implying something as he said,

“If you don't want to freeze to death... then honestly submit.”

The Ninth-Grade lead horse neighed, seemingly very unconvinced.

“Don't you even care about your kin?”

Seeing the fur of its kin gradually covered in white snow, it wavered.

After a moment of hesitation, as if it possessed wisdom, it half-knelt on the ground.

Shen Li smiled slightly, and a Spiritual Qi thread was drawn out.

It poured into the lead horse's mind, imprinting his mark!

As the mark was gradually etched, the wind and snow immediately melted, and the temperature warmed up.

And the lead horse just stayed quietly in place.

“Alright... try it.”

“After a short rest, we need to head to the Juejia Workshop.”

“Let me ride it.”

“As you wish.”

Shen Li retrieved the pouch containing Spiritual Essence and walked back into the city.

He then heard a chaotic commotion behind him.

On top of the lead horse, Wang Teng held the reins, tightly pulling on the lead horse's neck.

The lead horse was also unruly, its Physical Body springing up, desperately trying to throw Wang Teng off.

Under the control of Shen Li's Lingyin Technique, the lead horse naturally wouldn't resist.

But as a Ninth-Grade Spirit Beast, it also had its pride.

“Shen Li! Shen! Your horse isn't behaving! Quickly save me!”

Shen Li had a black line on his forehead but was too lazy to correct the mistake, so he helplessly instructed,

“Just let him ride it.”

Only then did the lead horse settle down.

But it still didn't get along with Wang Teng.

Wang Teng seemed to sense this and provocatively patted the lead horse's butt.

In an instant, the conflict flared up again.

However, Shen Li was too lazy to bother, heading straight back to the City Lord's Mansion.

He opened the map from Jue Wuying's Storage Pouch.

The Juejia Workshop was located below Lonely Blade Peak, directly above the mine that the Jue Family was responsible for excavating.

It was probably for ease of transportation.

The population of the workshop was not large, at most a hundred people. This workshop was similar to an outpost of the Jue Family, so not much was invested in it.

It was only for the mining of minerals that some properties and basic resources were set up.

It's worth mentioning that the map clearly showed the layout of the workshop, and what made Shen Li most wary was a Ninth-Grade city-protecting Great Array.

It was called [Slow Snow Covering the Sky].

This array was extremely cold.... Once activated, it would erode one's Qi and Physical Body, causing one's Spiritual Qi to become sluggish.

So, preparations needed to be made in advance on how to deal with it.

According to some correspondence in the Storage Pouch, most of the Jue Family's Cultivators had gone out... to some 'Two Peaks Mountain' to do something big.

Therefore, the Jue Family was very empty now! It was perfect for... stealing peaches!

First, avoid the attention of patrols... then activate the Great Art.

Then, the two of them would finish with a series of Arts.

Qiu Ya and Ruo Liuli would be responsible for pursuing any stragglers...

A rough plan began to take shape in his mind.

Shen Li nodded, his eyes excited!

What was most profitable in this world?

Robbery!

His wallet had never been full... Young Master Shen felt extremely thirsty!

He rubbed the Spiritual Essence fragments in his hand.

Then he heard a tender yet somewhat sharp cry.

He lowered his head slightly, saying in surprise,

“Sand Fox?”

To be honest, he had long forgotten about the Sand Fox, which had always been cared for by Chen He.

The mysterious Opportunity had indicated that this Sand Fox should be very special, but Shen Li hadn't found anything special about it, or rather, didn't know how to find it.

So he had let it roam freely.

And the Sand Fox, perhaps due to its Innate nature, was very timid and rarely seen on ordinary days.

But now that it was here... had its courage grown much larger?

The Sand Fox, with its pointed ears tipped with red fur, squatted obediently on the ground, looking at Shen Li with eager eyes.

Then it let out a tender cry.

Only then did Chen He rush over, covered in dirt, and said somewhat flustered,

“City Lord... I didn't keep an eye on this little fox...”

Shen Li waved his hand.

“It's fine...”

Then he looked at the Sand Fox with curious eyes, tentatively handing the Spiritual Essence in his hand to the Sand Fox.

“You want this?”

The Sand Fox uncharacteristically nodded. Shen Li casually threw down two pieces, and the little Sand Fox quickly began to feast.

These Spiritual Essence crystals were hard Materials that Shen Li couldn't even crush.

He hadn't expected them to be like little beans in the Sand Fox's mouth.

After eating, the little Sand Fox still looked up, its voice becoming more urgent.

“More?”

“What a gluttonous little fellow.”

Spiritual Essence fragments could be refined into Spiritual Essence through the workshop, and Spiritual Essence could enhance Spiritual Root talent, making it undeniably important.

But Shen Li, as if unconcerned, threw down more.

This continued repeatedly.

Just before his Storage Pouch was empty, the little Sand Fox let out a cry.

Then a huge earthy-yellow glow appeared around its body.

It actually produced a lot of sand, trapping itself within a sand cocoon.

There was no sound.

Only its Qi, however, began to surge layer by layer.

“So that's how it is.”

Shen Li suddenly realized that this Sand Fox shared the same origin as the Sand Sea Yao Beast and could refine Spiritual Essence to enhance its strength.

I was truly foolish... to not have figured this out.

Involuntarily, a hint of expectation flashed in Shen Li's eyes.

When he first acquired the Sand Fox, it was just a weak, low-grade Spirit Beast.

But now, it was probably going to become a Ninth-Grade one, right?

Suddenly having two more Ninth-Grade Spirit Beasts... truly a deep blessing!

Sand Spirit Qi, could it be that these Sand Sea creatures... have a chance to transform into... Five Spirit Beasts?

The lead horse also craved Spiritual Essence, perhaps it could grow like this too?

Shen Li's heart couldn't help but pound.

If that were truly the case, then he would have made a huge profit!

Then Ruo Liuli, fully armed, entered the hall and respectfully said,

“Adult, everything is ready.”

“Depart! To Juejia Workshop!”
