Xu Chunniang shook her head. "I received this beast after entering the mountain. I kept it because I liked it. I didn't prepare a spirit beast bag beforehand."
She took a look at Xiao Bai, and it was indeed a bit special. Those people had just attacked her because they were greedy for Xiao Bai.
"I see."
Zhou Tong suddenly realized, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Since we can't hide the rat beast, we can decorate it a little bit so that people will think it's just an ordinary rat beast."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of black paste and explained, "This is the squid ink I accidentally found. It does not dissolve in water. You can use it to dye the fur of rat beasts. Unless the rat beasts change their fur, it will not fade."
Xu Chunniang took the squid ink, took out some, and smeared it evenly on Xiaobai's body.
Soon, Xiaobai's appearance changed drastically, and he became a little black cat with a translucent black body.
Xiaobai didn't know what was happening to him. He thought Xu Chunniang was playing with him and was very happy.
Looking at Xiaobai's new look, Xu Chunniang nodded with satisfaction. The squid ink was originally a material used to make top-grade ink, but she didn't expect it to have such a wonderful use.
Zhou Tong bid farewell to Xu Chunniang and left the Hundred Demons Mountains.
He ventured into the mountains to earn spirit stones to buy medicine. Now that he had the flying sword, he could exchange it for spirit stones. Naturally, he would not stay in this dangerous mountain range.
Xu Chunniang took Xiaobai and set off again.
After such a long time, Xiaobai finally discovered that his fur had turned black. Looking at his little paws that had turned pitch black, he shuddered all over, with an expression of disbelief in his little eyes.
Xu Chunniang was amused by its expression and said with a smile, "It can't be helped. Your appearance earlier was so eye-catching. You don't want to be caught, do you?"
Thinking of what had just happened, Xiaobai immediately shrank his head.
"Now that you are afraid, when you meet other monks in the future, you should be more honest, hide your cleverness, and treat yourself as an ordinary mole."
Xiaobai nodded, but he was a little puzzled. Isn't it an ordinary mole
Xu Chunniang had no idea what Xiaobai was thinking. After explaining everything to Xiaobai, she returned to the place where she had been in seclusion in the morning. After setting up the formation, she took out three newly seized storage bags.
No one knew where the Gao family from Lingbei came from, but they sent out three cultivators in the late Qi training stage just to hunt down a formation cultivator at the fifth Qi training stage.
And these three people from the Gao family each have a flying sword in their hands. It seems that the Gao family is quite wealthy.
Xu Chunniang took out all the contents of the three storage bags, and the things instantly piled up into a small mountain in front of her.
She collected all the useful items such as spirit stones, pills, talismans, materials, etc., and destroyed the rest of the items along with the three storage bags.
These three storage bags are of the same style and you can tell at a glance that they were made by the same person. Xu Chunniang would not carry something that might cause trouble.
After doing all this, her eyes fell on the flying sword.
This first-grade, mid-quality flying sword shone brightly, and was exactly the same as the two she had given Zhou Tong before. There were four small words engraved on the sword: Lingbei Gao Family.
In addition, there is a pattern in the shape of a dire wolf, which looks like a family emblem or something like that.
Xu Chunniang was reluctant to destroy the mid-grade flying sword which was worth six hundred spirit stones, but it was too risky to use it directly.
I can only find an opportunity to use it, but now I am in the Hundred Demons Mountain Range, so I can perform some rituals and refine it first in case of an emergency.
A mid-grade spiritual weapon has six layers of formations. Xu Chunniang is now a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training, so it is not difficult for her to perform the ritual.
She calmed down and began to refine the flying sword.
Thousands of miles north of Xiaoyao Sect is a high and cold place in the north of the Ling Mountains.
There is ice and snow all year round in the north of the Ling Mountains, but the monks living here have long been accustomed to it and it doesn't have much of an impact on them.
On the contrary, because of its vast land and rich mineral resources, it attracted many monks to settle here.
The most famous sect in the Lingbei area is the Hanshan Sect, one of the five major sects.
The Gao family is one of the vassal families of the Hanshan Sect.
The Gao family excels in refining equipment and already had some reputation. However, a few years ago, a famous Jindan cultivator emerged, which greatly elevated the status of the entire Gao family.
Not to mention, the Jindan-stage cultivator of the Gao family is also a famous third-level weapon refiner who can forge spiritual weapons for Jindan Zhenren to use.
Once you reach the Jindan stage, it is very difficult to make further progress.
Many Jindan stage cultivators are even trapped in the early Jindan stage for their entire lives and cannot make any progress.
Spiritual weapons are one of the ways to improve the strength of Jindan stage cultivators.
Therefore, the Jindan cultivator from the Gao family is very popular and is doing very well in the Hanshan Sect.
As a result, the entire Gao family lived a very comfortable life.
At this time, the Gao family no longer had the relaxed atmosphere of the past.
Gao Yunlong, the head of the Gao family, sat in the main seat with a stern expression.
He glanced at the relatives present, and after a moment he spoke in a deep voice, "Everyone has already known about this, Gao Liwei and three other juniors unfortunately died while carrying out the mission of hunting down the remnants of the Zhou family!"
Most people had already received the news before arriving, and were all furious when they heard it.
The direct elders of Gao Liwei and the other two had red eyes, clenched their fists and said nothing.
If they knew who killed their grandson, his entire family would pay with blood!
There were a few people who were not well-informed and only learned the news at this moment, and they all couldn't believe it.
"How is it possible? That old villain Zhou Tong is just a formation cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training. Wei'er and the other three are all cultivators at the seventh level of Qi training. How could they die at his hands?"
"Zhou Tong is nothing to worry about. He was probably killed by other cultivators."
"Who exactly killed my Gao family's children? This matter must be investigated thoroughly."
The foundation-building cultivator of the Gao family was furious. Ever since the Gao family produced a Jindan cultivator, their reputation in the northern part of the Lingnan region has soared.
The other cultivators treated the Gao family with great courtesy when they met them. This had not happened for a long time.
Gao Liwei's grandfather Gao Yinglong had tears in his eyes and took a step forward to bow down to Gao Yunlong.
"This time, Li Wei was killed while carrying out a family mission. I ask the head of the family to find out the truth and give Li Wei an explanation!"
After Gao Yinglong stood up, two more men came forward and bowed, shouting in unison, "Please give us an explanation, Master!"
Their grandson, who had been carrying out the mission with Gao Liwei, died together this time.
Gao Yunlong raised his hand, lifted up the three people with a gentle force, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Li Wei and the other two are descendants of my Gao family. They died for the Gao family, so I naturally cannot let them die in obscurity. I will send people to investigate this matter and give an explanation to the three of them and the Gao family!"
Xu Chunniang had no idea of the Gao family's actions. After spending two days to successfully refine the flying sword, she headed deeper into the mountains again.
This time we didn't encounter any accidents and arrived at the Red Fox Valley smoothly.
There are many fox demons living in the Red Fox Valley, the most famous of which is a demon beast called the three-eyed red fox, and the Red Fox Valley got its name from it.
The three-eyed red fox is fiery red all over, has strong fighting ability, is extremely good at illusion, and has a beautiful body shape, making it very popular among female cultivators.
Therefore, people come and go in the Red Fox Valley all year round, just to catch fox cubs and sell them for spirit stones.
Just as Xu Chunniang entered the Red Fox Valley, another group of people came in from another direction.
