Great Qian Dynasty, outside the Jade Capital, West Mountain.
West Mountain was a huge mountain outside the Jade Capital, occupying a radius of a hundred miles. Although this mountain couldn't be compared to those famous mountains and rivers, its terrain was complicated. There were waterfalls, rocky forests, and many wolves. Every winter, there would be many nobles hunting there.
It was early autumn, and the vegetation in West Mountain was withering. On this day, a tall man walked into the mountain with a huge and heavy bag on his back. He was wearing tattered clothes that he hadn't changed for a long time. He looked like a beggar, but his skin was as white as jade, making him look like a fallen noble.
This person was Zhou Tong. After he came out from the Pillar of Heavens Mountain, he rushed towards the Jade Capital of Great Qian Dynasty. He didn't walk on the official road, but walked deep into the mountains.
Firstly, it was impossible to find any ingredients with spiritual energy near the official road. If he were to take the official road, with his current appetite as a Human Immortal, he would have to spend most of his time eating, drinking, and defecating every day.
Secondly, he was carrying the shard of the Pillar of Heavens Divine Stone. Although it was wrapped in cloth, the pure Yang qi couldn't be dispersed. If he walked on the official road, he would be noticed by people who knew what it was. There would be a lot of trouble, and it would be a waste of time. It would also add many unnecessary variables to his goal.
Therefore, along the way, Zhou Tong tried his best to avoid walking in places with a lot of people. His clothes were already in tatters as he walked through mountains and rivers.
"After a month of rushing, I've finally reached the West Mountain of the Jade Capital!" Zhou Tong took a deep breath and carried the shard of the divine stone as he climbed towards the highest peak of West Mountain.
With his cultivation as a Human Immortal, climbing the mountain was a piece of cake. In a short while, he was already standing on the peak.
Although this mountain wasn't as tall as the Pillar of Heavens Mountain, looking down on the entire West Mountain from the peak made him feel like he was looking down on all the other mountains.
"The valley of the pure fox race …" Zhou Tong stood on the peak and carefully observed every corner of West Mountain, not letting go of any traces.
After reaching the realm of Human Immortal, Zhou Tong's eyesight was like the difference between Heaven and Earth, as everything within a radius of one hundred miles could be seen clearly in his eyes.
Just as Zhou Tong was looking at one of the valleys, a white shadow suddenly flashed through the gaps between the leaves.
"Found it. So it's here!" Zhou Tong revealed a look of joy. Now that he had found this group of foxes, it meant that he had already obtained the Past Amitabha Sutra.
Soon, Zhou Tong walked towards the valley.
"Ji ji!", "Ji ji!", "Ji ji!" …
Just as Zhou Tong entered the valley, a hurried cry rang out. There was a trace of fear in the voice, and even the cry was trembling.
Zhou Tong turned around and saw two snow-white little foxes huddled together on the ground, staring at him in horror.
"It is indeed a rare spiritual item, and it has opened the path of cultivation." Zhou Tong looked at the little foxes and felt a little amused.
However, he also knew what these little foxes were afraid of.
As a Leakless Human Immortal, as long as he wanted to, he could make his aura not leak at all, and these little foxes would naturally not be able to sense his strange phenomenon. However, the Heavenly Pillar God Stones on his back were different. When the strong pure Yang aura spread out, it was like the corpse of a Human Immortal, which naturally made these little foxes tremble in fear.
"But these little foxes are nothing. I don't see that old fox. Hmm, I need to do something to lure him out!" Zhou Tong's heart stirred, and he immediately released a trace of his aura.
"Buzz!"
The pure Yang aura of a Human Immortal bloomed, and in an instant, the aura around Zhou Tong surged, and a faint layer of red light spread out, like a blazing sun.
"Ji!"
The two little foxes screamed, and then their heads tilted to the side, and they fainted.
"Senior, please have mercy!"
At this time, a hurried voice was heard. In the forest not far away, an old fox wearing clothes walked upright like a human, and swayed out from the forest in the distance, looking quite anxious.
Zhou Tong released his aura and then retracted it, and said, "Don't worry, they are fine. It was just a joke."
The old fox ran to the two little foxes and checked on them, and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he turned to Zhou Tong and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior, thank you for your mercy."
As he spoke, his two claws tapped on the forehead of the two little foxes. Zhou Tong could feel that some kind of spiritual power seemed to have penetrated into them.
Not long after, the two little foxes woke up. They saw Zhou Tong not far away, and they immediately trembled. With a scream, they quickly shrank into the old fox's arms.
"Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, don't be afraid. Senior is just joking with you." The old fox patted the two little foxes.
The two little foxes turned to look at Zhou Tong, but the fear in their eyes did not lessen. Especially when they looked at the bag on Zhou Tong's back, they were a little frightened.
Zhou Tong said, "Along the way, this is the first time I have seen a beast that can speak the human language. It is very novel."
The old fox shook his head and said, "Humans have their own language, and beasts have their own language. Myna, Brother Wasp, and Parrot can learn the human language, why can't us foxes learn the human language? Language is just pronunciation, what's so strange about being able to learn it? "
"Haha, that makes sense!" Zhou Tong chuckled.
Hearing that Zhou Tong agreed with his reasoning, the old fox was so happy that his beard stood up. However, when he saw the fear in the two little foxes' eyes, he continued, "Senior, what you are carrying must be a rare treasure in the world. It is enough to intimidate ten thousand beasts. Therefore, Xiao Sang and Xiao Fei are a little scared. Please don't blame us."
"It's fine. The things in my bag are treasures, so I have not been to the human world much. Instead, I have often stayed in the mountains and forests. I have seen many of these gazes! "Zhou Tong said.
Beasts were usually more sensitive than humans. Perhaps only experts who had reached a certain level of cultivation could sense the Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone on Zhou Tong's back. However, to the beasts in the mountains and forests, they were extremely sensitive to auras. Many of them could sense the Pure Yang Qi.
"Senior, this place is not far from the Jade Capital. If you are not willing to go to the human world, why don't you come to my West Mountain Valley to rest for a while? Our Pure Fox Clan is different from ordinary wild beasts. Instead, we are closer to human society. "The old fox was very hospitable. He actually extended an invitation to Zhou Tong.
It was rare to meet a human who was so easy to talk to. Furthermore, he was a human expert. The old fox naturally wanted to get closer to human society and learn more things.
"Then I'll have to trouble everyone!" Zhou Tong smiled faintly and directly agreed.
