From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 66 Tiger Fox
By the lake, Chen Xuan stood by the water, dressed in black, with a tall figure that did not look thin, and a handsome face with a bit of heroic air.

"What good thing?"

The red fox was young and naive, with a clear and innocent look in her bright eyes. She stretched out her slender arms and told Chen Xuan:
"It's a huge orchard of precious pear trees. The crimson glow from the pear trees dyes the sky red. The snow-white fairy pears on the trees are ripe. The fragrance of the pears can be smelled across several mountains. Everyone's mouth is watering."

In the mountains of the Southern Wilderness, the fruits of a land treasure tree have recently matured, and the resulting strange phenomenon is extremely terrifying.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoque also saw it, the fairy pear is very tempting!"

A small bird with colorful wings cried out, its eyes sparkling. It was the same little sparrow that had reported the pursuer's location in Peach Blossom Spring. It was flying in the sky above the Southern Wasteland and had spotted Chen Xuan by the lake, so it specifically informed the little red fox.

In the distance, there was a little yellow dog with fur as shiny and smooth as satin, a little sika deer with green coral horns, and a little elephant with four pure white tusks...

"We saw it too." Several little goblins stood a little stiffly, looking at Chen Xuan stupidly, with greedy saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths, which could not be wiped away.

"I need to practice, you guys find other helpers."

Chen Xuan shook his head and refused, feeling that this was inappropriate. The precious trees on the land in the mountains all had owners, and as an outsider, he had better keep to himself and not cause trouble.

Although Liyuan has a large number of precious medicines, it is not a good place. It would be okay if the owner is a monster from the Daozang realm, but if it is a top-level monster like the old turtle, no one can withstand it if it suddenly gets angry.

"The Pear Garden has been occupied by a group of mandrills. There's an old mandrill from the Daozang realm, but it's too old to walk. We can just steal a few fruits and run away. It's okay!"

The little red fox repeatedly assured Chen Xuan that there was no danger and told him that the pear garden was not the old mandrills' territory. After the fruits were ripe, they suddenly and forcibly occupied it and did not allow other ghosts to enter. It was very hateful.

Furthermore, she had invited the Blade-carrying Tiger Demon, the leader of their group of little ghosts. He was quite powerful and had a strong background. With Chen Xuan and the Tiger Demon's help, there would be no major problems.

"What are the effects of the precious pear?" Chen Xuan asked, somewhat persuaded.

The Blade-Carrying Tiger Demon must be the descendant of a top-tier powerhouse, capable of withstanding any calamity. Furthermore, the other small demons also had strong backgrounds. The little red fox, relying on the legacy of its predecessors, had even met the immortal Willow Dragon.

"The precious pear is called the [Confusing Heart Pear]. Eating it can clear your mind and prevent you from being confused. It also has the effect of increasing the strength of your spirit and soul." The little red fox continued to persuade.

Foxes are naturally good at bewitching people. In the Mountain and Sea Age, when a nine-tailed fox climbed a mountain and howled, all things in the world would be bewitched by the fox's voice... The little red fox had no power to resist the spiritual creature [Confusing Pear].

Clear the mind? Yan Yushu just needs this thing, it must be effective!
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

He was finally persuaded. Yuhua, Daozang, Dinglu... The first three major realms are all about cultivating the physical body. Except for the Chiqi cultivators, only high-level cultivators can cultivate the three thoughts of the soul. The [Confusing Heart Pear] can enhance the strength of the soul. This kind of spiritual object is even rarer than ordinary land treasure trees!

But Chen Xuan had said before that if the situation in the Pear Garden was different from what the little red fox said, he would not take action.

The little red fox quickly said that he was not lying, Liyuan was not the mandrill's home, and stealing their things would have no effect at all!
"Little bird, little dog, little deer, little nose..."

On the way, the little red fox introduced his companions to Chen Xuan and said sternly to the little ghosts, "This is my benefactor. He is extremely powerful, even more powerful than Tiger. You must be polite. He will be your second brother from now on. Call him second brother!"

"Second brother!"

Several little ghosts hurriedly bowed to Chen Xuan. The little red fox seemed to have a very high status, and these little ghosts all listened to her.

The four-tusked little elephant pointed at his outstretched trunk and secretly told Chen Xuan that his name was not Little Nose, as the little red fox had given him a nickname. His name was Dishan, and his benefactor, the second brother, could call him Little Elephant.

"Okay, little elephant."

Chen Xuan responded helplessly that these five little monsters were generally two or three years old, innocent and romantic.

However, the ages of the twenty-four ghosts are calculated differently from the way humans do. Some ghosts grow very fast and mature at a few years old, becoming young and middle-aged ghosts.

"My name is Queyu. I got married last month and gave birth to a nest of little birds. My benefactor, second brother, you can come to my house to see them."

The two-year-old little bird expressed that he was very mature and the head of the family, and invited the enthusiastic Chen Xuan to visit his home.

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time."

Chen Xuan pulled the corner of his mouth, and a group of little ghosts chattered around the little red fox's benefactor, his second brother, as if they had endless energy in their bodies.

The little red fox, the little yellow dog, the baby elephant, and the baby deer all carry backpacks made of bamboo strips. They are very cute. Even the little bird has a palm-sized bamboo basket on its back, as if it is going to do something serious.

afternoon.

Chen Xuan arrived at the foot of the mountain where the pear garden was located. He saw a red cloud appearing on the sky and the fragrant scent of pears wafting in the wind.

A striped tiger, about ten feet tall, stood on the mountain path. He carried a broadsword on his back, his chest broad and filled with explosive muscles. His hair shone with a faint golden light, and he exuded a majestic and powerful aura. "Well, the second one is here—"

A pair of tiger eyes swept towards Chen Xuan, with a scrutinizing look and a full sense of oppression.

"Um,"

Chen Xuan nodded and walked over. With the help of the little red fox, he inexplicably became the second in command of this small group of ghosts.

He felt an extremely strong aura from Boss Hu. This monster's cultivation had reached the peak of Immortality, and his aura was powerful... only slightly weaker than that of Cui Laoqi and the old man surnamed Lu.

"Brother Hu, how old are you this year?" He asked carefully considering his tone.

"Tiger, six years old—"

The voice of the tiger demon with a knife on his back is full of magnetism and majesty. The tiger is the king in the mountains, and this bloodline has been the leader among ghosts since ancient times.

"Six years old?"

Chen Xuan was shocked when he heard this, because the tiger demon with a knife on its back did not look like it was six years old. It looked very mature, no different from a young human being, without any childishness at all.

At the same time, he exclaimed in admiration: "I admire you. You are only six years old, but you have reached such a high level. You are truly a person of extraordinary talent."

You have to know, it was just after the New Year, how long had this razor-backed tiger demon been cultivating? Even if he had been cultivating since the moment he landed, it would have been at most five years, but he was about to reach the Daozang realm. It was truly shocking.

The knife-carrying tiger demon nodded when he heard this, crossed his arms over his chest, and the steel-brush-like tiger whiskers on his face trembled slightly. He stretched out his voice:

"Second brother, you are not bad either. I know some things. You are qualified to join us—"

The two syllables of "老二" are very heavy, as if deliberately emphasizing the tone.

The little red fox stared at the tiger demon with suspicion, then suddenly jumped onto the tiger demon's shoulder, tugged at the tiger's whiskers, and asked:
"Big Tiger, your tone of voice today is so strange. It's similar to that of your elder Tigers. Why are you imitating them? Why are you speaking to my benefactor like this?"

The tiger whiskers on the back of the knife tiger demon were pulled, and a large lump appeared on his skin. He looked very painful. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He endured it, and his face always maintained a majestic look. He said in a deep voice:
"Little Fox Bai Zi, this is ridiculous. Tiger's style has always been like this—"

The other four little goblins also looked puzzled, they just felt that Tiger Big was more majestic than usual... Was he worried that the second brother joining this small group would affect his eldest brother's position?

The tiger demon with a knife on his back did have a sense of crisis in his heart, because he could keenly sense that Chen Xuan was stronger than him... In this world, there is no such thing as the second in command being stronger than the first in command, but a tiger cannot be the second in command in a team!
Chen Xuan was looking at the pear orchard deep in the mountains when he faintly saw a large patch of red light, dyeing the area red.

"Tiger, what should we do? Should we just go up the mountain and rob? We'd better be cautious and make sure we don't get discovered by the Daozang monster."

Chen Xuan turned his head and said, very cautiously, because he had vaguely seen some one-legged mandrills moving around in the mountains.

"Old Second's words make sense, but Tiger also has the same idea in his mind, you just said it first—"

The knife-carrying tiger demon nodded in agreement, his voice still powerful and resonant. The little red fox was shocked, leaning back with a dull gaze at the tiger demon, who acted like an adult.

Soon, one man and six ghosts began to move, and the dog sneaked towards the Pear Garden.

The primitive mountains were covered with dense trees, and the skeletons of some large wild animals were scattered on the ground. They had a fishy smell and were snow-white and shocking. They must be the traces left by the group of mandrills eating.

"I've been observing for several days and know where the defense is weak."

The little bird led the way, guiding Chen Xuan and others forward secretly in the mountains.

Soon, they approached the area covered by red clouds. The pear orchard was extremely large, covering the entire mountain, with dozens of pear trees evenly distributed everywhere.

"Look, a pear tree!"

"Two mandrills guarding!"

Several little goblins exclaimed in low voices, and seven pairs of sparkling eyes looked at the open space ahead through the dense branches and leaves.

"Great, benefactor and Tiger have taken action to suppress the mandrill. The five of us will go pick the fairy pears and start the action!" The little red fox was excited and nervous, and issued the order to attack.

In the open space, a pear tree more than ten meters high is red all over, like a burning fire tree, but the fruits it bears are pure white, as if made of snow, with a flashing white luster.

Four snow-white fairy pears hang on the treetops, with obvious color contrast, which immediately attracts all eyes.
