I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

She watched as Li Qing'an destroyed the stronghold, and it didn't take her long to realize that he could easily kill her too, and she wouldn't be able to escape.

Running away might only fuel his resentment, making him think she had deceived him.

At this moment, Li Qing'an had already wiped Wang Xian clean and put it away. He then stretched out his hand to the three-tailed fox demon and said, "Give it to me!"

"Ok?"

The three-tailed fox was completely bewildered.

"My array plate."

Upon hearing this, the three-tailed fox suddenly realized what was happening and returned the array plate to Li Qing'an.

"Let's go! It's time to proceed with our transaction." Li Qingan put the array plate away and then continued.

Upon hearing this, the three-tailed fox stopped in its tracks and pondered for a moment: "Young master, the matter of the Xuanhuo Mirror is to be decided by my elder brother, so please do not be angry if my elder brother disagrees later."

Do I look like I have a bad temper?

Li Qingan turned his head, looked at the three-tailed fox demon, pointed at himself with one finger, and then said, "But don't worry, your older brother will definitely agree!"

"Take me there! Let's finish dealing with your brother as soon as possible, get the Mystic Fire Mirror, and then I'll be leaving too."

As Li Qing'an spoke, he had the three-tailed fox lead the way, and then used his Taoist magic to create flames to burn all the corpses in the demonic sect's stronghold.

The final step to destroy the evidence!

Seeing that Li Qing'an spoke with such sincerity, as if he really wouldn't do anything, the three-tailed fox demon still led him to the Black Stone Cave.

"Your cave is safe."

Li Qingan sensed a monster appearing in the cave from time to time, and even a huge tentacle monster appeared in front of him once.

However, as soon as it appeared, Li Qing'an saw that it wanted to attack him, so he took out the Wangxian sword and was about to strike it, but was stopped by the three-tailed fox demon.

Then, something was said by the three-tailed fox spirit, and the giant tentacle monster retreated.

'It seems this three-tailed fox spirit can control this beast.'

Seeing this, Li Qingan also withdrew his magic weapon and followed her to an underground cave filled with scorching magma.

"Ahem, Third Sister, who is this?"

In the center of the cave, a handsome and upright man dressed in snow-white robes looked at Li Qing'an and asked in a weak voice.

He coughed quite frequently as he spoke.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

The three-tailed fox demon, seeing the six-tailed fox's weak state, rushed over to help him up and introduced him, "This is Li Bai, a rogue cultivator from the Central Plains. We met in the woods by the ancient well near the small pond. He said he had a way to cure your cold poison, and he also knew that we possess the Mysterious Fire Mirror..."

After listening to the three-tailed fox demon explain the whole story...

Liuwei clutched his abdomen and looked at Li Qing'an: "Young brother, you are chivalrous and kind-hearted. You were able to help Xiaochi Town eliminate the Demonic Sect's stronghold. You are truly skilled in Taoist arts. However, my cold poison was caused by that old thief Shangguan Ce. It has penetrated deep into my bones and ruined my thousand years of cultivation. Although you are skilled in Taoist arts, I'm afraid you are helpless if you want to cure my cold poison."

"I have my own way, all you need is for you to give me the Mystic Flame!"

Li Qingan ignored Liuwei's distrust and simply repeated what he had said.

In his previous life, Zhang Xiaofan was able to suppress the malevolent energy with the yang energy of the Xuanhuo Mirror. He could then use this yang energy to create a method to cure the cold poison. However, according to his calculations, the six tails could only save his life, and his magical power would have to dissipate, requiring him to rebuild it from scratch.

He planned to combine this yang energy with the essence of the sun to create the Sun Essence Chapter of the Tonghui Technique. This would not only resolve the cold poison of the Six-Tailed Nine-Cold Ice Spikes but also integrate body-tempering methods into the use of the sun essence. In this way, the essence of the moon and the sun, both the essence of heaven and earth, would greatly enhance Li Qing'an's physical strength. After a period of cultivation, his body would surely be able to fight against demonic beasts without being at a disadvantage.

Coming to his senses, Liuwei saw that Li Qingan was so persistent that he couldn't say anything more and could only continue speaking.

“Young brother, since you are so confident, I shouldn’t be reluctant to part with the Xuanhuo Mirror. However, this magic weapon was brought out by my fox demon clan after countless sacrifices. For this, my mother was imprisoned in the Xuanhuo Altar by those hypocritical people of Fenxiang Valley. As their son, I cannot accept that my mother sacrificed so much to bring out the Xuanhuo Mirror in exchange for my own life.”

At this point, the Six-Tailed Fox was overcome with grief, tears welling in his eyes, and he coughed violently. The Three-Tailed Fox patted his back gently, also looking sorrowful.

Li Qing'an was not surprised by this. In the original story, Zhang Xiaofan was able to obtain the Xuanhuo Mirror given by Liuwei because Li Xun and several disciples of Fenxiang Valley came to attack. If they had taken the Xuanhuo Mirror, Liuwei's mother, Xiaobai, would have had a hard time escaping. However, if it were to circulate outside, Xiaobai might have a sliver of hope of escaping.

On the other hand, he noticed that Zhang Xiaofan was simple-minded and unlike those hypocritical righteous people, so he felt some goodwill towards him.

Now that the Six-Tails can still live for a while, it is naturally impossible for it to easily use the key to releasing Shiro for a trade.

However, Li Qing'an also really wanted to go to Fenxiang Valley to see the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation, definitely not because he wanted to see what kind of scourge the so-called Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was.

Thinking of this, Li Qing'an nodded in agreement with what Liuwei said, and then said, "To be honest, I am determined to obtain the Xuanhuo Mirror, but I am also quite interested in your mother who was suppressed, as you mentioned."

"interested?"

Liuwei was puzzled by this. "Isn't that a bit too frivolous?" he thought. "If Liuwei hadn't been so badly injured that he couldn't move, he would have already wanted to go up and fight Li Qing'an."

You want to take the Mystic Fire Mirror from his hand, and you even want to be his father, huh!

"Ah, no, what I mean is that I can help you save your mother," Li Qing'an quickly explained when he saw that Liuwei seemed to have misunderstood.

"Oh."

Liuwei looked suspicious.

"The way I can help you get rid of the cold poison is to destroy all your thousand years of cultivation. At that time, you will have no cultivation, but you can save your life and start cultivating again. However, with your thousand years of accumulation, as long as the cold poison is resolved, you will naturally be able to recover your strength within a few hundred years."

"And I possess the Mystic Fire Mirror. Once I've mastered its cultivation, I can naturally help you rescue your mother. This can be considered a condition for trading the Mystic Fire Mirror."

Seeing that Liuwei didn't believe him, Li Qing'an explained again.

[A scourge to the nation and its people, Xiaobai]

Chapter 39 The Promise to Save the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox

"it is good!"

Seeing how clearly Li Qing'an had explained things, Liuwei was somewhat tempted: "But young brother, how can you guarantee that you will still go to save my mother after I lose my cultivation?"

"this!"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Qing'an tossed the small Five Elements Array Plate, which he had previously retrieved from the three-tailed fox demon, into the six-tailed fox demon's arms and said:

"I have studied the art of formations since childhood, and I naturally want to take this opportunity to see the legendary Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation. So there's no need to worry about whether I will go to Burning Incense Valley, because I will definitely go!"

"The formation I gave you is enough to prove what I said. I have reduced the other functions of this formation, leaving only defense. If the three-tailed fox next to you activates it, it can withstand the Shangqing Realm for a short time as compensation for your loss of cultivation."

Liuwei examined the array plate in his arms and felt that the runes on it were extremely mysterious. He now believed everything Li Qingan had said.

Their fox demon clan, having taken the Xuanhuo Mirror, naturally knew it extremely well. The array formed around it was something that countless people on the Divine Continent who practiced array formations longed for.

With his thousand-year perspective, he could naturally tell that this array plate was one of the best, and the array runes were extremely similar to the ancient array runes he had only glimpsed before.

"Young man, my mother's safety depends on you."

Liuwei also decisively threw the Xuanhuo Mirror to Li Qing'an.

After throwing out the Mystic Fire Mirror, he breathed a sigh of relief, and even his body, which was almost completely drained of oil, seemed to feel a little lighter.

The three-tailed fox spirit, who had remained silent, was overjoyed to see the deal made.

After receiving the Xuanhuo Mirror, Li Qingan carefully examined the palm-sized, emerald-green jade ring in his hand, feeling the immense yang energy contained within it.

"Your injury will take a few more days. I need to study the method for removing the cold poison that I told you about. It will only take a few days."

"you..."

The three-tailed fox demon, who was eagerly awaiting Li Qing'an's method, frowned upon hearing Li Qing'an's words.

"Third sister, since you have chosen to believe in this young man, what's wrong with waiting a few more days? This cold poison has been with me for hundreds of years, so a few more days won't make a difference."

Li Qingan was relieved to see that the two had agreed.

He also had a high regard for the ill-fated fox couple, so naturally he didn't want to take action.

"In that case, wait a few more days. If you need me, just go to the ancient well."

Upon seeing this, Li Qing'an took his leave.

He planned to use the ancient well to study the earth veins of the ancient well forest and see if he could decipher the illusion runes, which would also be a good opportunity to research a solution to the cold poison.

Watching Li Qing'an's departing figure, the three-tailed fox spirit looked worried.

"Big brother, do you really trust him that much?"

"Didn't you bring him to see me? Why are you asking me if I believe him?"

The six-tailed fox looked at the three-tailed fox demon and said with a smile, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from its body.

He knew that even if Li Qing'an didn't come, he wouldn't live much longer. He couldn't do it on his own. If the Xuanhuo Mirror fell out of his hands, his idea of ​​saving the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox would completely fail.

Rather than giving the Xuanhuo Mirror to someone randomly later, it's better to give it to Li Qing'an now.

Moreover, this person possesses unfathomable strength, and judging from his appearance, he shows no prejudice against demons; in fact, the two even share common interests...

"Brother, you know that's not what I meant. I just think you've suffered too much these past three hundred years. If there's a chance, that would be wonderful."

The three-tailed fox demon also helped the six-tailed fox to its feet and explained.

.......

next day

Xiaochi Town Inn

Li Qing'an was packing his things in his inn room. He planned to find a place to stay in the Ancient Well Forest in the next few days. Besides the matter of the Dharma Gate, he also wanted to see if any more disciples of the Blood Refining Hall, whom he had killed yesterday, would come after him.

If he comes and then doesn't come, then Xiaochi Town might be in trouble.

"Waiter?" Li Qing'an called over Hu Lao Er.

"What can I do for you, sir?" Old Hu Er hurriedly ran up to him.

"I'm going out for a few days, so please keep my room for me."

Li Qingan casually tossed him the silver he had found on the bodies of the Blood Refining Hall disciples he had killed the day before, and then instructed him, "I need your help with something for a while. Yesterday, I discovered several Demonic Cult disciples in the Ancient Well Forest..."

"What? A disciple of the Demonic Cult?"

Hu Lao Er was shocked, his expression was horrified, and he trembled all over as he looked at Li Qing An: "This immortal is not wrong, there really are disciples of the Demonic Sect outside my Xiaochi Town."

"What should we do?" Hu Lao Er paced back and forth, then seemed to remember Li Qing'an, and knelt down on the ground: "Immortal Master, please save us!"

"Now that I've brought it up, it's already resolved."

Li Qingan nodded and continued, "I have already killed those few demonic sect disciples, but I am afraid that other demonic sect disciples will come again after they find out that something is wrong. So what I mean is that you should pay attention to the town. If anyone goes missing again, or if anyone is dressed strangely and asks the town residents about the previous disappearances, come to the ancient well outside the town to find me."

"However, the disciples of the Demonic Cult are ruthless, so you must not get close to them. Just gather information and tell me. I see you've been in this town for quite some time, so you should be able to investigate secretly."

"Yes."
