The Bai family.
The Bai family was especially lively today.
The news of the Bai family's elder ancestor protecting someone had spread far and wide. Some of the elders in the Bai family had some complaints about it.
After all, the Bai family was not on good terms with the City Hall, yet they still had to protect an outsider. Was that not adding fuel to the fire?
However, since it was the Bai family's elder ancestor who did it, they had nothing to say.
However, Chu Kuangren was different.
They did not have a good impression of an outsider.
"He came to the Bai family and even covered his face with a spiritual light. One look and I can tell he's not a good person," a young man muttered.
The others around him agreed too. After all, they were prejudiced against Chu Kuangren no matter how they looked at him.
However, Chu Kuangren did not care about their comments.
"Brother Chu, I called you here mainly because of the Sky Fire Grotto," the Bai family's elder ancestor said.
"The Sky Fire Grotto …"
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up.
He had heard of the Sky Fire Grotto when he was collecting information.
It was the residence of a person called the Sky Fire Daoist. He was an ancient strong cultivator who had even reached the level of an immortal.
But later on, this Daoist Heaven Fire died and his abode disappeared along with him. It was only recently that it was discovered.
The Bai family was one of the discoverers. Besides them, there were several other forces such as the City Hall, Divine Flame Church, Blue Cloud City, and so on.
These forces were preparing to send people to explore the cave.
"The Sky Fire Grotto is the residence of the Sky Fire Daoist. There are many restrictions inside. I hope you can use the Moonlight Fox's ability to help me explore this cave. Of course, the Bai family will split the treasures thirty-seventy. How does that sound?" The Bai family's elder ancestor smiled.
"I'll take thirty and you'll take seventy. That's too much of a bargain."
"This Heavenly Fire Wonderland has already been sealed by a few of our forces. It's hard for outsiders to enter. Brother Chu, it's already a great fortune for me to let you be the representative of the Bai Clan. Not to mention, there's also a share of the treasures. You should be satisfied."
"I'm contributing, and you're only contributing one spot. I don't think it's worth it no matter how I look at it."
"How about this, fifty-fifty?"
The Bai family's elder ancestor said.
Chu Kuangren smiled indifferently. "No, we'll do as you said. Three-seven, but it'll be seven for me and three for you."
"Brother Chu, you're going too far. Don't forget who saved you just now. Also, if it wasn't for my Bai Clan, you wouldn't have been able to enter the Heavenly Fire Wonderland. Don't even think about getting seventy-three percent."
Bai Yeyue said with a gloomy face.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
"Alright, then we'll do as Fellow Chu says. You get 70% and I get 30%."
Elder Ancestor Bai took a deep breath and said.
A strange look flashed across Chu Kuangren's eyes.
Oh, he really agreed?
"Then it's settled."
"There are still a few days left until the appointed time to explore the Heavenly Abode. Fellow Daoist Chu, you can stay at our Bai Clan for the time being."
Elder Ancestor Bai said as he ordered someone to bring Chu Kuangren away to rest.
After Chu Kuangren left, Bai Yeyue asked in confusion, "Forefather, a seventy-three split is too much. Why did you agree to that kid?"
"Hmph, seventy-thirty? Don't even think about getting it. "
Elder Ancestor Bai, who was originally kind and gentle, suddenly had a dark look in his eyes. "It's just that this person's strength is extraordinary, so I can use him for the time being. Once the Heavenly Abode is explored, be it the treasures in the Heavenly Abode or the Moonlight Fox, the Bai Clan … wants it all!!"
"I see."
Bai Yeyue also let out a cold smile when she heard that.
…
The Bai Clan arranged a house for Chu Kuangren.
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren set up some restrictions at his place. Apart from Little Fox, no one else could come and go as they pleased.
"Boss, the Bai Clan seems to be up to no good."
Little Fox reminded him from the side.
"Heh, do you think I don't know if even you can sense it? However, I'm a little interested in the Heavenly Abode, and they're up to no good. Am I a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? Who knows if I'll be a lamb in a wolf's den or a tiger in a sheep's den. "
Chu Kuangren smiled playfully.
Little Fox could not help but recall the majestic scene of the dragon and phoenix on the Path of Ascension. She could not help but silently mourn for the Bai Clan for three seconds.
'These people have no idea how terrifying of a person they've set their eyes on!'
"Alright, I'm going to refine the Immortal Crystal. Guard me from the side," Chu Kuangren said.
He took out a milky white prismatic crystal the size of a baby's fist. It was one of the Immortal Crystals he obtained from Hong Xue.
"Guard?!" Little Fox was excited when she heard that. She immediately stood up straight and patted her chest. "Don't worry, boss. As long as I'm here, no one can get close to you."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Chu Kuangren began to refine the Immortal Crystal in his hand.
Little Fox did not dare to disturb him. Instead, she kept her guard up.
She was a little excited.
'Guard?'
Generally speaking, cultivators would only look for someone they trusted to protect them. Since Chu Kuangren was asking her to protect him, did that not mean that he had already treated her as someone he could trust? Oh, no, a fox?
Little Fox's heart was filled with joy when she thought of that.
She looked at Chu Kuangren's handsome face that was now devoid of spiritual light. No one knew what she was thinking, but her face was a little red.
"No, no, don't let your thoughts run wild. Since you trust me so much, I must guard you well and not let anyone get close."
Little Fox shook her head and said.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren, who was refining the Immortal Crystal, was not completely oblivious to the outside world. He had three souls, so he had to split one of them to observe the outside world.
It made no difference whether Little Fox was there or not.
Chu Kuangren would not easily entrust his safety to others.
Not to mention a fox that he had not known for long.
"Little Fox, what is she thinking?" Chu Kuangren could not help but shake his head when he saw the change in Little Fox's expression.
It did not take long for Chu Kuangren to completely refine the Immortal Crystal in his hand. He could feel that his Origin Energy had grown a little stronger. Although it was not obvious, he could still feel it.
"The Immortal Crystal's function is more to strengthen the Origin Energy that I already have. However, it's not practical to rely on a few Immortal Crystals to develop a new Origin Energy. Immortal Techniques and physique are still the most important things in my cultivation from now on …" Chu Kuangren murmured.
He got up and prepared to go out for a walk.
"Hey, boss, have you finished refining the Immortal Crystal?"
"Yeah …"
"That's … That's too fast!"
Little Fox was dumbfounded. She looked at the sky outside and saw that it was dawn. It had only taken him one night.
'Are Immortal Crystals that easy to refine?'
Little Fox was a little confused.
In the end, she could only conclude that Chu Kuangren was different from ordinary people.
"Boss, you're indeed the boss. You're different in every way!"
Little Fox exclaimed.
Then, she followed behind Chu Kuangren like a little tail.
"Brother Chu, are you going out?"
Chu Kuangren had only taken a few steps when he bumped into Bai Yeyue. When she saw where he was going, her eyes flashed.
"Don't worry, I won't leave before the matter at Sky Fire Grotto is over." Chu Kuangren said calmly. He then walked past her and left the Bai residence with Little Fox without looking back.
"Hmph, get someone to follow him." Bai Yeyue snorted coldly and said to the void.
Soon, a few shadows followed Chu Kuangren.
"Chu Kuangren, Celestial Seed Overlord … Hmph, even if you're an Celestial Seed Overlord, you're still an outsider. Once the matter at Sky Fire Grotto is over, I'll make sure you die."
A cold glint flashed across Bai Yeyue's eyes. He was also a Peerless Celestial Seed, but compared to Chu Kuangren, there was still a huge gap.
This kind of difference in talent made him feel jealous.
