The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Such thinking made King Tiger full of uncertainty as to whether the cause of the tide was man-made. Based on the performance of the Dajin people, it finally came to a conclusion that was barely convincing to itself. Even if it was really man-made, it would still need to meet very harsh natural conditions. . But regardless of whether it was man-made or not, this piece of land that could generate a spiritual tide on the land made the Tiger King feel afraid, and even had the idea of ​​​​retreating to his own realm.

"Lord General! A living creature has been found!" A soldier's shout interrupted King Tiger's contemplation.

In the past, the law was used to bless the entire Chinese army, but the tiger king himself consumed a lot of money, and in this endless and unobstructed land, all traces had nowhere to hide, and he did not think that there would be any living things in this barren land. pose a threat to yourself. Therefore, it focused more on its own recovery along the way and did not release its spiritual consciousness. It only ordered its soldiers to command some demon soldiers to explore around.

Following the guidance of his soldiers, King Tiger looked ahead and at the end of his field of vision, there seemed to be a monster crawling on the empty land.

The Tiger King no longer retained its strength. It instantly released its spiritual consciousness and brought the creature suspected of being a monster into its range of perception. Then, it widened its eyes and called in surprise: "Fox Military Advisor!"

In this land that had just been baptized by the tide, the Tiger King looked at the unconscious Fox Commander showing his original shape, and the scenes that had been buried in the dust for a long time began to emerge from his memory.

The tiger-headed demon king was once an orphan in the ethnic group, and his mother had witnessed the betrayal and loss of family ties. In those difficult days, it could only scatter the young tiger cubs around and let them fend for themselves in an unknown world. The Tiger King is one of the tiger cubs who survived strong and survived in the cruel underworld.

The little tiger, who was struggling to survive every day, accidentally met an old man who traveled around the world. His name was Fox Twenty-three, an old fox demon who had lived for more than three hundred years. Fox Twenty-three likes to completely transform into a human being for more than a hundred years, but as time goes by, his fire of life will eventually be extinguished. The old fox demon, who feels that it will be difficult for him to break out in the remaining years, decides to For the rest of my life, I will travel around, visit old friends, and enjoy the last journey of my life.

Originally, the two monsters just met by chance in the mountains, but this cute and silly tiger monster who had just opened up his spiritual wisdom was determined to follow Fox Twenty-San and experience the outside world. Fox 23 didn't want to take this "oil bottle" with him, but the little tiger's amazing physical strength and persistence in following him made him reluctant to use magic to escape. After confirming that the little tiger was helpless, Fox Twenty-three finally agreed to take him on their journey.

Fox Twenty-three named the little tiger "Huxing", which means that his family can prosper. Although there is only one little tiger that looks silly now, Fox Twenty-three believes that since they have formed a good relationship, this persistent and strong little tiger may really be able to achieve a great career in the future.

As Fox 23 travels, Hu Xing, although he looks silly on the outside, has deep blessings. Several old monsters who were friends with Fox Twenty-three were willing to teach the little tiger some life-saving skills even if they didn't look at the fox monster's face. Several "old friends" of Fox 23 who are full of motherly love even came up with some natural and earthly treasures that were particularly suitable for Hu Xing, for a fee, to help it quickly condense the power of Qi and blood and help it grow.

After almost wiping out the old fox demon's savings, in just thirty years, the little tiger Hu Xing miraculously broke through to the realm of alchemy. In the thirty-second year of his travels with Fox 23, he finally became a demon cultivator like Fox 23.

Unlike humans, monster beasts are not as dependent on spiritual energy as humans are, but their lifespans in each realm are not as long as humans. The lifespan of a transformed monster is only four hundred years, and Fox Twenty-three has reached 383 years old this year, and his lifespan is about to be exhausted.

Hu Xing and Fox Twenty-three have spent thirty-two years together. The old fox demon has accompanied and helped Hu Xing grow up, but now it can only watch Fox Twenty-three getting older and becoming sluggish, and its heart can't help but be filled with bitterness. .

As the twenty-three-year-old fox approaches, it has stopped traveling and, with the help of its friends, has found a mountainous area full of spiritual energy, where it prepares to spend the last ten years of its life. Although Hu Xingsan never thought about accepting Hu Xing as his disciple and always reminded him of the boundaries between the demon clans, as Hu Xing gradually opened up his spiritual wisdom, he valued the relationship with Hu Xing more and more. A kind of friendship that is both a teacher and a friend.

Perhaps influenced by Fox Twenty-three's long-term transformation into a human, Hu Xing has always been curious about human monks. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will inquire about the affairs of the human race, and even learn from Fox Twenty-three how to make himself closer to the human race. .

Most of the places Fox 23 travels are areas ruled by some enlightened demon kings or great demon kings. In these places, demon cultivators and human cultivators will jointly run markets and exchange the items they need. During his many years of travel, Hu Xing also visited these markets and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the customs and cultivation characteristics of the human race.

Among the creations of the human race, Hu Xing's favorite was the elixir refined by the human race. In markets everywhere, these elixirs often become hot spots for trade between humans and demons. Human alchemists are not only able to refine elixirs that are beneficial to humans, but they have even developed strange elixirs that can help demons quickly improve their cultivation. However, the medicinal materials in these elixir recipes often grow in the bottomless demon realm, or are hidden in dangerous secret realms. They are difficult to collect and the success rate of elixir refining is low. They often become the focus of bargaining during market transactions.

In the third year when Hu 23 retired to the mountains and forests, Hu Xing embarked on the path of practicing alone under the repeated persuasion of the old fox. Although this was Fox Twenty-three’s excuse for not wanting Hu Xing to witness his approaching end and die alone in the mountains and forests, Hu Xing actually had his own plans in mind.

When he first lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests three years ago, the old fox started nagging Hu Xing to stop wasting time with him, but Hu Xing turned a deaf ear to this and just silently stayed by Fox Twenty-Three's side to witness his aging.

What changed Hu Xing's mind was when he accidentally met a registered alchemist from the Human Alchemist Guild at a market near the mountain forest where Fox 23 returned to hermitage. The alchemist showed a prescription that is very attractive to all transformed demon cultivators - the demon concentration pill, which can greatly increase the probability of the transformed demon cultivators being promoted to the Nascent Soul realm.

This elixir was accidentally discovered by the Holy Alchemist Guild when it was researching elixirs to treat trauma to human souls. Although many of the erysipelas spirit beasts were poisoned to death during the erysipelas test, the cultivation levels of the surviving spirit beasts have improved significantly. These elixir-testing spirit beasts are destined to stay at the bottleneck of the late stage of the alchemy realm forever, unable to advance further in cultivation, but this elixir recipe can allow them to make a breakthrough. Although they cannot jump to the realm, it is already an astonishing discovery.

After repeated verification by the Alchemist Guild, this elixir has little effect on treating the trauma of the human soul. On the contrary, it is extremely toxic to the human race, so it is considered a failed research pill. However, due to the similarity in body structure between spirit beasts and demon cultivators, the Alchemist Guild conducted a test on the demon cultivators and unexpectedly discovered that the elixir could improve the cultivation of demon cultivators in both the elixir-transformation realm and the form-transformation realm. Although this elixir is still somewhat toxic to the demon cultivator of the Transformation Level, for the demon cultivator of the Transformation Level, because their physique can completely resist the erosion of the erysipelas, the true effect of this special erysipelas can be reflected, that is While it erodes the demon cultivator's body, it can also condense the demon cultivator's soul, thus significantly increasing the success rate of the demon cultivator's transformation into a baby.

The spirit of the demon race is naturally powerful, but when the demon beasts begin to practice, their intelligence is often not developed. In order to survive, they spend most of their time focusing on fighting with their own kind and condensing the power of their energy and blood. When they open their spiritual wisdom, because their Qi and blood are too strong, it will become extremely difficult to control the Yuanshen, so they will encounter a huge bottleneck when entering the Nascent Soul realm.

Take Fox Twenty-three as an example. He has been incarnate for hundreds of years but has never mastered the technique of condensing his soul. Hu Xing even speculated that the reason why the old fox likes to transform into human form may be to learn the human method of cultivating the soul.

Since there are very few demon cultivators in the Alchemist Guild, and compared to human monks, demon cultivators only start to accumulate wealth after opening their spiritual wisdom, so demon cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm are usually relatively poor. Although this elixir recipe for demon cultivators in the alchemy and form transformation realms is quite practical, it has low economic value in the alchemist guild. Therefore, only some fringe alchemists will venture into friendly demons with such elixir recipes. clan territory in exchange for some rare materials.

The alchemist Hu Xing met was a fringe alchemist. His alchemy skills were only so-so, but he lacked a prominent master's background and sufficient resources. He was able to register in the Alchemist Guild only with his unremitting efforts and a little talent. And a little bit of luck. However, his luck was exhausted after he was sent to the Alchemist Guild. Only after entering the Alchemist Guild did he realize that if he wanted to stand out in the guild, he needed someone to provide him with abundant alchemy materials and continue to refine more advanced ones. Pill. With the little money he had, he didn't have much left after buying several mid-level elixirs provided by the guild. Since the guild couldn't afford several important medicinal ingredients in the elixirs, he couldn't even refine a furnace of mid-level elixirs. After coming out, I had no choice but to take the recipe for the Condensing Pill to the Monster Clan territory to try my luck.

This alchemist came to the Demon Clan to do business, and he could be called a white wolf with empty hands. He successfully entered the territory of the demon clan as a registered alchemist of the Alchemist Guild, but he only had an alchemy recipe in his hand, not even the basic alchemy ingredients, and there were no ready-made elixirs for sale.

But this elixir happened to be what Hu Xing needed urgently.
