Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 382 The Seven Sins Fox's Wrath - Thunder Lord
Xu Shen's primordial spirit returned to the sea of ​​consciousness.

The flawless golden elixir embryo in the Yellow Court Qi Sea floated and sank amidst the dazzling five-colored spiritual energy.

To fully absorb this immense spiritual energy of the five elements, I'm afraid I'll be quite busy.

Xu Shen sighed regretfully, "I thought I could use this process of condensing the golden core to sneak in and be reforged."

The fox mother said calmly, "I have never heard of anyone being able to put a newborn child back into the mother's womb."

Xu Shen choked for a moment, then chuckled, "This situation isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe once the elixir is shattered and the nascent soul is formed, I'll have two primordial spirits."

"maybe."

The fox mother's voice was weary as she transformed into a beam of white light and vanished into the contract space.

This time, thanks to the advantage of this small world, they successfully refined the Suihou Pearl.

However, her exertion was considerable, far exceeding the capacity of this young fox's body, which had only recently undergone Nirvana.

Xu Shen glanced at the little fox sleeping in the contract space, but didn't disturb it.

He exited the mental world and was about to stretch when he was startled by a pair of dark eyes right in front of him.

"Holy crap, you're finally awake!"

Mo Fan shouted excitedly.

Xu Shen subconsciously leaned back: "Have I been meditating for a long time?"

“Three whole months, bro,” Mo Fan said. “Three months without food or water, and you still have such a strong voice? You’re a real monster. But it’s strange, there’s no magic energy here at all. What are you meditating on?”

"Holy crap! It's been that long?!"

Xu Shen subconsciously stood up, and the sudden, tearing pain in his scalp made him gasp.

Looking down, I realized my hair had grown so long it was dragging on the ground, and as I stood up, I stepped right on it.

He pulled out the small, deadly sword and cleaved it in half at the waist. Xu Shen stretched his body, appearing even lighter than before.

I picked up a few severed strands of hair, tugged at them a few times, and found they were as tough as steel wire.

He was certain that this body was now in no way inferior to that of a monarch-level demon.

If he were to encounter that ice bear in the far south again, he would never be in such a sorry state.

"Where is Shaka?"

"Look, she's asleep," Mo Fan said, pointing to Shaka curled up on the sofa by the bed. "That girl looks clever, but she's a complete idiot. I've told her so many times that you're in a deep meditative state and there's nothing wrong, but she still can't let go. Her eyes are glued to you for at least 20 hours a day."

Xu Shen paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Don't tell me about my awakening yet. Wait until she wakes up, then I'll wake up again."

Mo Fan's lips twitched.

This bastard!
Your talent for flirting is ingrained in your bones, isn't it?

As the two were talking, Shaka groggily opened her eyes.

"Brother, you're awake!"

She excitedly rushed into Xu Shen's arms.

Xu Shen felt heartbroken seeing those once clear amethyst eyes now bloodshot.

"I'm fine, Shaka, you should get some more sleep."

"Ah."

Shaka nodded, snuggled into Xu Shen's arms, and closed her eyes again.

after awhile.

She let out a soft exclamation: "This doesn't seem like a dream, brother, you're really awake?"

Xu Shen was both amused and exasperated: "You should get some sleep."

"Oh"

Saga gave a sweet hum, shifted to a more comfortable position, and closed her eyes beautifully again.

"The stench of being in love is truly nauseating!"

In just a few minutes, Mo Fan was caught off guard and was suddenly bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). Even though he wasn't single, he still felt a bit overwhelmed by the sweetness.

Xu Shen, with his thick skin, changed the subject without batting an eye: "Disappeared for three months, have you figured out how to deal with those five old men from the Nationalist Army team?"

"Shouldn't this be a question the captain should be considering?"

"The sensible team members had already thought about how to share the burden with their captain."

"You fucking shameless."

Xu Shen gave a forced smile: "You flatter me, you flatter me."

"Alright, enough of this nonsense," Mo Fan said, pulling out two rings. "You recognize these, right?"

"This is... a contract ring?!" Xu Shen's eyes widened. "Where did you get such a good thing?"

“Of course it’s those Native American descendants,” Mo Fan said. “I’m not like Shaka, who’s obsessed with women. If I did nothing for three months but stared at a man’s face, I’d have nightmares.”

"So, what have you been doing for the past three months?"

Mo Fan crossed his legs and said, "I gave them a small boost on their tech tree, making a tiny, insignificant contribution to the evolution of their civilization." "Tech tree?"

"I just casually invented an alternating current technology and improved their power transmission system... Never mind, you wouldn't understand this anyway," Mo Fan waved his hand and said, "In short, in return, they gave me some magical artifacts that the ancient Native Americans brought with them when they fled to this world."

Mo Fan spoke casually, but Xu Shen knew that if the Native American tribe could bring out their most treasured possessions to give away, his so-called insignificant contribution was probably not small at all.

"Those Native Americans are quite cunning. They know that most of these magical artifacts are useless due to the loss of magical energy, so they used them as favors. However, they certainly didn't expect that these two contract rings are well-preserved. I checked them with my spiritual power, and the seals are intact, with almost no loss of magical energy. Moreover, these two rings also contain two demonic pets. One of them looks like a ghost-type creature, but I can't identify what it is. The other one, however..."

Mo Fan said mysteriously, "Do you remember what Old Jiang mentioned in class about the perfect creatures that could be summoned by the ancient demonic sects? Here's a hint: it's the fox clan."

"The fox clan... it can't be the Seven Deadly Sins Fox, can it?"

"You fucking guessed right!"

"Holy crap? Holy crap!" Xu Shen was no longer calm.

The legend of the Seven Deadly Sins Fox is widely circulated among summoners.

Legend has it that this seemingly perfect creature was cursed by the heavens out of jealousy.

Even so, even the weakest of the Seven Deadly Sins foxes, if grown naturally, would be an invincible existence in the realm of monarchs.

According to ancient records, in the realm of summoning mages, no matter who it is, as long as they can summon a Seven Sins Fox from the ancient demonic gate, they can kill the match without exception.

How did those ancient Native Americans bring this perfect creature over here?

Xu Shen suddenly realized that the prototypes of those Nazca monsters seemed to be beings from the summoning plane.

These ancient Native Americans were quite something.

"Which clan is it? Flame Lord? Thunder Lord? Or Wind Lord?"

"Thunder Lord, your attributes are particularly compatible with mine."

Mo Fan grinned smugly, his teeth showing, his mouth practically crooked from laughing.

Xu Shen probed the ring with his spiritual power, and a purple fox cub was sleeping soundly.

Although it is still young, you can already see its awe-inspiring and unyielding spirit.

"Let's make this clear beforehand: my second contract space is already open. The two rings and that ghostly creature are all yours, the three of you. As for the Fox Lord, I won't stand on ceremony."

"You're really lucky, damn it."

"Envious? Jealous? Hahaha~"

Mo Fan put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly.

"Stop laughing, your laughter is awful," Xu Shen said disdainfully. "The price of the Contract Ring must be quite high. If it can be listed alongside the Seven Deadly Foxes, that ghostly creature must be quite something. I'll calculate it later and give you the money."

"Who the hell are you insulting?" Mo Fan roared. "I was able to enter this dimensional world entirely thanks to the three of you. Besides, regarding alternating current, even if I had the knowledge, these natives wouldn't have been able to understand it if Shaka hadn't helped with the translation."

"Don't be stubborn. Everyone knows that summoning is a money pit. I'd be heartbroken if you were to raise a perfect creature like Thunder Lord to be malnourished."

When money was mentioned, Mo Fan fell silent.

He wasn't reluctant to share these things with Xu Shen, Xiao Yu, and Sha Jia.

But money...

It's really worrying.

Just one little Flame Princess made his life very difficult.

If it weren't for the fact that Thunder Lord was so handsome that he fell head over heels for him.

He really wanted to just sell it.

Money, oh money.

A penny stumps the hero.

He's really about to be completely drained.

Summoning is something only poor people should avoid...

Mo Fan sighed, turned around, took out a backpack from the wardrobe, and took out several thick books.

"These books were taken from the secret chamber by the Dark Emperor. They were placed together with those magical artifacts, so their value must be quite high. I think there is a high probability that they are the magical heritage of the ancient Indians."

I was originally planning to find some people to translate things after we got out; maybe we could find some ways to make money. Since you've been so generous, it would seem petty of me not to share.

Xu Shen stared in disbelief: "You fucking can still use magic here?"

"What kind of ridiculous focus is that?" Mo Fan said, "Besides, you have the nerve to call me illiterate after asking such a stupid question? Don't you know that dark magic is different from other magic? Animal flesh and blood, remnants of souls, and the like can all be used as sources of magical energy?"

"That's true."

Xu Shen, holding Shajia, found it inconvenient to read, so he asked Mo Fan to take the book away, saying:
"We don't trust others to translate these things, so let's translate them ourselves using software. If they really are ancient Native American magical heritage, the value of these books might allow you to get some shares in the 404 Chamber of Commerce."

"Holy crap? You heartless capitalist, you're being this generous?"

"You don't know anything. Which capitalist has built a business by hoarding everything? Let me be clear from the start: business is business. If you try to take advantage of me, I won't be polite."

"Damn it! You swindler!"
