After an unknown period of time, Lee Xun slowly opened his eyes. He was already in excruciating pain from losing consciousness, but the moment he woke up, he felt as if his entire body was in disarray. The pain was worse everywhere, and he couldn't even muster a bit of strength. He could only turn his head slightly and observe his surroundings. Lee Xun realised that he was in a natural stalactite cave, lying on a jade bed.

"You're finally awake." A very pleasant voice was heard.

Lee Xun tilted his head, and followed the direction of the voice, and saw that the person who spoke was a beautiful woman dressed in purple who was currently meditating with her eyes closed.

"Who are you? Where are you?"

"My name is Zi Yue. You saved our family yesterday."

"Is the Little Fire Fox alright?"

"Are you talking about Xing? She's fine, but her vitality is injured and she's resting. Thank you so much for yesterday. However, why did you sacrifice your life to save us yesterday? "You should know that if you agree to big brother Jiang's request, it'll be of great benefit to you."

Lee Xun closed his eyes and said calmly: "When Little Fire Fox asked for help, he reminded me of the time I was born, so he agreed to come and see. As for why he risked his life to save you, I'm not sure, maybe it's fate."

"I can see that you're not even twenty this year yet. To have such cultivation at such an age, you can be considered a genius once in a thousand years. Your cultivation must be very arduous as well. Don't tell me that you're not trying to become a pinnacle existence among humans?"

"I have thought about it after an hour, but so what if I really dominate the human world? If I were to tell you that my training these past few years was just to pass the time and let me feel that I still have a little meaning, would you believe me?"

"Although I do not understand why you have such negative thoughts, I can feel that you are not lying. Our Spiritual Beast's spiritual sense will not deceive us."

"Can you tell me why I'm alive?"

"What was your purpose when you first accepted cultivation?"

"In the beginning, I only wanted to live, but in these past few years, I don't know why, but I always had the thought that I had nothing to live for."

"Looks like you having an inner demon probably has something to do with your training. I know that the cultivation of you humans are divided into sword moves and mental cultivation methods. You should ask someone with experience who might be of help to you." And to be able to teach a genius disciple like you, your master must not be simple. "

"My master said that the sword moves that I cultivate are different from the ones everyone has practiced before. My mental cultivation method is also incomplete, and it was something that he obtained by chance. He didn't train in either of them, so no one was able to give me any pointers. "

"Looks like you can only rely on yourself."

"Sister Yue, I'm back."

A purple robed, elegant young master appeared in front of Lee Xun, but his face was pale white. Lee Xun knew that this person should be Little Fire Fox's father, Zi Yang.

Zi Yue told him what she had heard.

"Lad, I can't help you with your problem. Human's cultivation is completely different from us Spiritual Beast s, but you are our family's savior. Other than healing your wounds, how do you want us to repay you?"

"As long as you heal my wounds quickly, I didn't try to save any of you. Right now, I just want to hurry back and reunite with my junior brothers and sisters." Lee Xun's words were cold, saving them was just an impulse.

"Young man, don't misunderstand. We truly want to repay you for saving our lives. How about this, we'll treat your wounds first and talk about the repayment after you've recovered."

Violet Sun took out a jade box. The jade box was surrounded by dense spirit energy. Opening the jade case, six golden lotus seeds appeared in front of Lee Xun's eyes. After helping Lee Xun consume the six golden lotus seeds, Zi Yang began to help Lee Xun channel the auras in his body.

The lotus seeds dissolved upon entering his mouth, and every lotus seed transformed into a pure spirit energy. The six streams of spirit energy continued to circulate around Lee Xun's body, repairing his damaged meridians, causing Lee Xun to feel extremely comfortable.

He had completely restored all of his damaged meridians, and it had become much stronger than before. Although Lee Xun had the thought of wanting to live a life that he had nothing to live for, he had not completely lost all of his desire. The six streams of pure spirit energy, after healing his injuries, finally gathered at Lee Xun's Dantian and formed a golden bead that was about the size of half a fist. The golden pearl slowly rotated, continuously releasing spirit energy to reform Lee Xun's body. At the same time, the spirit energy of heaven and earth from the outside could also be absorbed by the golden pearl. Lee Xun knew that he had truly obtained great benefits this time.

"Senior, thank you."

"Don't call me senior, you are too distant. You are the savior of our family. We have grown older than you. In the future, just call us elder brother and elder sister-in-law."

"Chi, chi ?" It was unknown when Little Fire Fox arrived at Lee Xun's side, but it was clear that he was unsatisfied with his father's arrangement.

"Hehe, Xing seems to be dissatisfied, he said that he wants to call you brother. Oh right, we have yet to know your name."

"I am called Lee Xun, and I also think that I am very compatible with it. I will still call you Uncle Yang, Aunt Yue, you guys should know that I am older than you guys."

"Haha, Lee Xun, I really like you more and more.

"Uncle Yang, I don't know what you gave me to eat earlier, but I feel like you took advantage of me."

Originally, we were prepared to prepare for breaking through the 12th level in the future, but this time, we were fighting a fierce battle with the Jiang brothers, causing us, husband and wife, to be injured by the life Spiritual Element, so it is impossible for us to break through that barrier within a hundred years. Therefore, we cannot break through that barrier even after a hundred years. After a hundred years, we only need three of each to pass the trial, so we've decided to give all six of them to you. Your human bodies are truly enviable. The lotus seeds that you ate up six of the Ten Thousand Year Golden Lotuses were actually able to bear the legendary Essential Golden Orb. "

"This ?" Lee Xun was secretly speechless. Although he did not know what Essential Golden Orb were, but from the last few words that Spiritual Beast said, they could tell that she had taken advantage of him a little, and immediately got up to kneel and kowtow.

Zi Yang hurriedly stopped Lee Xun and said: "Lee Xun, what are you doing? Honestly speaking, although we knew that six lotus seeds would definitely benefit you greatly, we never thought that it would actually help you produce a Essential Golden Orb."

"I can feel it changing my body bit by bit, but it should be more than that."

"That's right. It is said that Essential Golden Orb has the ability to heal wounds. As long as they are not destroyed, no matter how severe the injuries are, they will slowly heal. You saved the lives of our family of three, and this is also because of your good fortune. "

"Uncle Yang, let's not talk about saving my life. I won't be polite with you guys anymore. If anything happens to you guys in the future, I will do my best in my lifetime."

"Alright, Lee Xun. Actually, we have something that we want to ask of you."

"Please speak, Aunt Yue."

"We, as husband and wife, need to go into closed-door training for a hundred years, so we were unable to take care of Xing. Previously, I had taken Xing away by myself because I wanted to leave this place by itself. We hope that you can bring Xing to the human world and help him find a good master. Actually, you were the best choice of person to do so, but unfortunately, you possess a wood attribute and Xing has a fire attribute physique. Since you are unable to complete the contract, you are unable to form a contract space for Xing to hide inside. "

"Wood attribute physique, fire attribute physique, contracted space?" It was the first time Lee Xun had heard of this.

It's very normal that you don't know. Only a very few humans on this continent know of it. No matter if it was a human, a Demonic Beast or a Spiritual Beast, they were all separated into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth types. This current set of Sword Soul Continent should actually be called the Swordsoul Island. It was originally a corner of the Sword Soul Continent, and according to our inherited memories, tens of thousands of years ago, a great earth movement split it up. In the future, if you have the chance, you can go and take a look at the true Sword Soul Continent. As for the direction of the true Sword Soul Continent, we don't know either. s and Demonic Beast s can easily differentiate a human's physique. Humans can only do this if their strength is strong to a certain degree. In the future, if Xing encounters a person with a fire attribute physique, he or she will choose to do so himself or her.

"This is actually not the true Sword Soul Continent?" Lee Xun felt that this was too unbelievable.

"It's quite unexpected, right? We've met some powerful humans before, and only a few of them knew of it. The ones who didn't know of it heard of it for the first time, so their reactions were the same as yours."

"In other words, I have gained a bit more joy in life. I never thought that this place would actually just be a corner of the Sword Soul Continent." When Lee Xun was learning about military command, he had researched on the map of the continent he was on before. The Tianshan Country s were roughly the size of the two provinces of Su Zhe and Su Zhe on Earth, and the entire Swordsoul Island s combined were about the size of the three continents of Asia and Europe. If this continent could only be considered an island, then how big would the true Sword Soul Continent be?

"The injuries of our husband and wife are actually very serious. Right now, we are being suppressed. We need to quickly go into seclusion." Xing is very mischievous, before I find its master, I will have to trouble you to take care of him. "

"Uncle Yang, Aunt Yue, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Zixing. If anything happens, I will definitely die before it does."

If you can find a master for Xing, then its safety will be guaranteed. Aside from its own master, only its immediate family members can break out of the contracted space. All you need to do is to help it find a good master as soon as possible. Eh, you have a Spatial Ring in your hands?

"Yes, but although this Spatial Ring is spacious, it cannot contain living beings."

"Hur hur, then it's fine. Wait a moment."

Not long later, Zi Yang brought out a completely blue grass and said to Lee Xun: "This grass is called 'Blue Fairy Grass'. Put it into the Spatial Ring and check for any changes.

"Eh, there seems to be some spirit energy inside the Spatial Ring."

"That's right, in the future, as long as you don't take out that 'Blue Fairy Grass', your Spatial Ring will be able to store living things."

"Then wouldn't Zixing be able to continue cultivating inside?"

Yes, but if the Spiritual Beast signs a contract with a human, its growth will accelerate during the period it becomes a Essential Spirit Beast. However, we Spiritual Beast have the dignity of Spiritual Beast, so once we sign the contract with a human, we cannot disobey our master's orders. It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages to doing so.

"Chi, chi, chi." Zixing gestured very cutely.

Actually, Lee Xun could understand why even if it did not fight.

"This child is actually impatient to follow you out."

"Uncle Yang, Aunt Yue, why do I understand Zixing's words? Actually, it doesn't need to compare notes."

"Oh, looks like you're truly talented, but you don't have to be surprised, there are a lot of people who are born with the ability to communicate with us Spiritual Beast."

"Hur hur, so that's how it is."

"Lee Xun, take Xing with you. In a hundred years, when we come out of seclusion, I hope that you can bring Xing back. If you can't come back in time, it's fine, but we naturally have ways to find Xing."

"Uncle Yang, Aunt Yue, we'll meet again in a hundred years."

Lee Xun obediently entered the Spatial Ring s. Lee Xun knew that a hundred years was equivalent to a lifetime for humans in terms of Sword Soul Continent, even those pinnacle existences amongst humans had a lifespan of at most three to four hundred years. But a hundred years was nothing for Spiritual Beast s and Demonic Beast s.
