"You cultivators are the most hypocritical. I will eat you right now. Otherwise, you will definitely go and spread the news and get people to capture me." The demon in the ball of light said angrily.

At this moment, the ball of light gradually dimmed, revealing the true appearance of the demon inside. Dressed in glossy and beautiful fur, it looked like a fox or a marten. It swayed its fluffy tail as it stared unblinkingly at Ouyang Yu.

It was just that it was slightly out of Ouyang Yu's expectations, but he did not seem to be frightened. Instead, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

"You should know that you're scared now, but it's already too late." The demon pointed at Ouyang Yu and said proudly.

Suddenly, the demon felt as if Ouyang Yu had become extremely tall. He stood up like a giant, and he himself had only reached Ouyang Yu's knees. At this moment, Ouyang Yu looked at the little demon that was not even reaching his knees and laughed involuntarily. He bent over and grabbed the little demon's tail, bringing it before his eyes.

"Hey, do you still want to eat me?" Ouyang Yu asked as he looked at the little demon desperately struggling in his hands.

"What …" How could this be? My body... "How could it be …"

"Could it be that my cultivation hasn't recovered yet …" The little monster cried out in surprise as it tried to struggle free from Ouyang Yu's clutches, but to no avail.

"My stomach is so hungry, I just so happen to have a red fever, so you come to quell your hunger." Ouyang Yu patted his rumbling stomach and decided.

"Don't eat me." The little demon immediately shouted.

"Who told you to be so arrogant just now. This is called retribution." Even a little monster is so savage. " Ouyang Yu unhappily knocked on the little demon's head.

"I already said that I'm not a demon." The little demon held his head and protested.

"Then what are you? Looking at your appearance, aside from a monster, you don't look like anything else at all …" Ouyang Yu said with certainty after carefully examining him for a moment.

"I am a Demonic Spirit Fox, not a monster …" The little ferret protested.

"A demon spirit? Wasn't it just a monster? "However, Senior said that Demon Spirits are good people and should be considered kind demons …" Ouyang Yu pondered for a moment.

"Of course, we demon spirits are different from the monsters that Hu Fei is plotting against. We are just like you Adepts; we can cultivate and become Immortals. Other than the effects of the demon spirit, there's not much difference between you and Daoist Master Xiu. " The small ferret explained.

"However, since you're a demon spirit, why are you sealed in the Flower Profound Spirit Wood? You must have done something bad, right?" Ouyang Yu asked.

"Not at all. They are all smelly pill refiners, so they unreasonably sealed it for me." However, at that time, he did not obtain any benefits. " The little ferret huffed and puffed.

"Stinky apothecary?" Ouyang Yu said with a puzzled expression.

"That's right, the person in the portrait." The little ferret pointed at the drawing in the stone house.

"You said that there's no need for a master?" Ouyang Yu said in realization.

I just wanted to retrieve some branches of the Mysterious Spirithail Tree, but I didn't expect that the smelly pill refiner would bump into me, and we fought for seven days and seven nights. In the end, that smelly pill refiner acted like a scoundrel and secretly ate a few pills, sneaking an attack on me while I was still recovering my spiritual power. The little ferret said resentfully.

"You don't need a master, but your cultivation has already reached the Fruit Rank. To think that you could fight with him for seven days straight, wouldn't that mean that you are also an expert in the Fruit Rank?" How is that possible? All you can see is that she's only a little monster. " Ouyang Yu rubbed his chin as he observed the small ferret for a while before he shook his head and spoke.

"You actually dare to look down on me? "My cultivation is close to a hundred years old …" The little ferret bared its fangs and brandished its claws at Ouyang Yu, but it didn't have the slightest bit of deterrence.

"So you've been here a long time." Ouyang Yu said in surprise after making some calculations.

"I don't know either. After I was sealed, because the Mysterious Spirithail Tree was a spirit tree, it absorbed all of my Spiritual Qi and kept me in a deep slumber. It wasn't until you appeared that I suddenly woke up." The little ferret said.

"I appeared?" Ouyang Yu had a peculiar expression on his face.

"That's right, while I was sleeping, I suddenly felt a strange aura, it was extremely strong, as though it was awakening me. When I opened my eyes, I saw you standing under the Profound Flower Spirit Wood." The small marten stared at Ouyang Yu as it spoke. It felt that there was a very strange aura on Ouyang Yu's body that was completely different from that of ordinary cultivators. It was an indescribable feeling.

Suddenly, a strange sound rang out. Ouyang Yu's face immediately turned red as he embarrassedly touched his belly. He felt that his stomach was empty and was constantly drumming.

"There's a secret compartment behind the portrait where the smelly pill refiner used to store the elixirs. Perhaps there are some elixirs or miraculous elixirs …" This is to repay you for saving my life. " The small marten glanced at Ouyang Yu and said, "I'm leaving. I've been trapped for so long. Daddy must be very worried about me …" With that, he moved his short limbs and ran towards the cave entrance.

"Hey, that …"

"Didn't you just say that your cultivation is close to a hundred years old? Why do you still have a father? Isn't that an old monster? " Ouyang Yu wanted to remind the little ferret that he couldn't get out of the cave, but the little ferret had already run far away.

"Forget it. I'll be back soon anyway." Ouyang Yu smiled and immediately walked towards the stone house.

After entering the stone house, Ouyang Yu immediately took off the portrait. Sure enough, he saw two floors of cabinets behind, filled with all kinds of bottles and jars.

"This should have been there for a long time. I wonder if it can still be eaten?" Ouyang Yu picked out a bottle and opened the stopper. A fragrant smell immediately assaulted his nostrils.

"Whatever. At most, I'll just lose my stomach." Ouyang Yu poured a few pills into his mouth and swallowed them. A moment later, a refreshing and comfortable feeling spread throughout his body as the hunger disappeared.

"Comfortable." Ouyang Yu rubbed his stomach. Although he didn't feel full, he didn't feel hungry. He felt like he was reborn.

At this moment, the small marten limped back to the stone house and yelled at Ouyang Yu, "Why didn't you tell me earlier why the cave entrance was covered with magic?" If it was before, how could this broken spell stop me? "

"Who told you to run so fast, I don't even have enough time to say what I want to say. Aren't you amazing? " Ouyang Yu shrugged.

"Didn't I tell you that my cultivation was sealed?" The little ferret gloomily jumped onto the stone bed and curled up into a ball.

"Oh, looks like demon spirits have a longer lifespan than cultivators, not to mention ordinary humans."

"Oh right, the spell at the entrance was cast by my boss. I need to spend three months thinking in front of the wall of the Flowery Profound Cave. Unless someone comes to visit me, you can forget about leaving." Ouyang Yu said to Little Fox.

"Three more months …" The small ferret shook its gorgeous fur.

"You've already waited for at least a few decades. You don't even need three months." Ouyang Yu said.

"It's been decades, is it really that long?" The little ferret spoke faintly.

"It doesn't seem like Master left this cave dozens of years ago. He only returned with three of his seed a year ago. If that's the case, I guess that's about right." Ouyang Yu replied.

"Looks like daddy must be worried to death. I sneaked out of the valley without telling him. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have run out on my own accord. " The little marten's intelligent eyes seemed to carry a sense of sadness.

"Right, what's your name?" Ouyang Yu asked after a moment of silence.

When the small ferret heard this, its eyes rolled and its forelimbs rubbed against each other, looking like a shy little girl.

"I said, don't laugh at me." The little ferret said.

"No, definitely not." Ouyang Yu promised.

"My name is …" "Eighteen …" "The little ferret stammered.

Although Ouyang Yu had made his preparations, he couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard this.

"You can't laugh." Hu Eighteen said embarrassedly.

"No, I'm just a bit surprised that you chose that name." Ouyang Yu had great difficulty to collect his laughter as he spoke.

"It was my mother who gave birth to eighteen babies in one breath. My father found it troublesome to choose a name, so he decided to follow the sequence from birth, from one to eighteen, and I was the youngest." Hu Eighteen shook his head and replied.

"Truly saving trouble, but it doesn't matter to the public." Ouyang Yu said.

"Who said I am …" When Hu Eighteen heard this, he was just about to say something when he suddenly stopped.

"It's all because of this smelly pill refiner. He caused all the spiritual energy I could use to be absorbed, sealed and changed back to my original form. I don't know how long it will take for him to return to his previous appearance. " Hu Eighteen bared his fangs and brandished his claws at the faceless portrait.

"My master shouldn't be an unreasonable person. Just how did you fight him …" Ouyang Yu felt that there must be another reason he didn't know.

"Didn't I just take the branches of the Mysterious Spirithail Tree and eat a few of his newly concocted elixirs? "He actually called me a thief and ended up fighting." Hu Eighteen said arrogantly.

"That's no wonder. You were the one who was in the wrong first, how can you say that my Master was in the wrong …" You deserve to be sealed. Now you know your wrongs. " Ouyang Yu crossed his arms across his chest.

"I don't know." Hu Eighteen turned around, his back facing Ouyang Yu as he wagged his tail.

"Up to you. I'm going to take a bath." As he spoke, Ouyang Yu took out a pack of dregs from his bag and walked towards the pond.

Ouyang Yu arrived at the pool and sprinkled the dregs into the water. Then, he stripped naked and jumped in. As usual, he began circulating his luck to absorb the nutrients within the dregs.

"Strange, why is it that after my immortal seed took root, the circulation of my luck actually slowed down by a lot …" "The effects of the dregs seem to be much worse than before, and even consuming a Tier 10 pill would not have any effect." Ouyang Yu opened his eyes after circulating his true qi for seven to four cycles, as he muttered to himself with a puzzled expression.

Ouyang Yu stood up, dried himself, and put on his clothes. When he returned to the stone house, he saw that Hu Eighteen had already curled up together and was fast asleep.

Ouyang Yu took out a piece of clothing and covered Hu Eighteen's face with it. Then, he took out an unknown letter from a pile of books. He felt that he might be able to find a reason why the circulation of his zhenqi was slower than before.
