Chapter Thirty-Four: The Azure Jade Spirit Fox

  "Hey!"

  At the moment when his arms and legs were in severe pain, Qin Yun took a deep breath and channeled his energy into his body. The muscles at the two places where he was bitten suddenly solidified like iron cast in steel, and they firmly clamped down on the Snow Wolf's fangs, preventing them from going any deeper.

  After opening up the body's acupoints, the true Qi of the Dan Tian can flow smoothly through the meridians to reach the acupoints. When necessary, it can form a protective Qi shield around the acupoints. The thicker the true Qi, the stronger the defensive power.

  Qin Yun opened up the twenty-four acupoints on his four limbs, and his true energy defense could envelop his limbs. However, his realm's strength was still low, so he couldn't control it at will, which was why he got injured by the Snow Wolf Guard.

  Wow!

  Qin Yun's left hand clenched into a fist and heavily struck the head of a snow wolf, the fierce and powerful punch force bursting open the hard wolf head.

  His left leg lifted and kicked out at the same time, heavily kicking the Snow Wolf Guard's lower body, sending it flying out!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The explosive sound rose and fell, all the snow wolf guards who rushed up were punched and kicked by Qin Yun, none of them could escape, in the blink of an eye there were seven or eight wolf corpses on the ground!

  What a relief!

  Since practicing swordsmanship, Qin Yun rarely fought with his fists like this. The feeling of punching and killing the enemy with one blow was absolutely refreshing and exhilarating!

  It's just a pity that the remaining snow wolves didn't want to come up and die again, the wolf king's death made these ferocious beasts lose all their courage, and they fled in all directions, whimpering and tucking their tails.

  Qin Yun did not pursue them, leaving the most important Wolf King behind was enough, and these small fries running away with a few heads were of no concern.

  He glanced at the wounds on his arm and leg, took out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a few pellets of medicine to apply to the wound, and relaxed the tight muscles.

  This is a mid-grade wound-healing pill given by Qin Mingzhu to Qin Yun, which has good effects when taken orally or applied externally, and is a must-have medicine for the young masters of the Tang family.

  Trauma Dan is better than ordinary wound medicine. Although it's the most common type of dan medicine, it won't produce severe dependence like Pei Qi Dan even if used excessively.

  After treating his wounds, Qin Yun began to gather his spoils of war.

  He killed nearly thirty ordinary snow wolves, and the meat of the snow wolf was a high-grade food. The wolf skin was also a good material, and even the wolf's claws and teeth could be sold for money in Qianchao City.

  Although Qin Yun is not short of money now, he absolutely will not waste these good things.

  The best is still that ice and snow wolf king.

  Qin Yun used his hunting knife to cut open the corpse of the Snow Wolf King, unfortunately he couldn't get the intact wolf king skin, but the demon beast inner dan dug out from inside was enough to make up for everything.

  Most of the demons or spiritual beasts have an inner elixir, which is the source of their power. It is formed by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon over time.

  The demon spirit's inner elixir can be used to refine many high-end and even top-grade medicinal pellets, making it extremely expensive. Especially the high-quality inner elixirs are priceless and highly sought after by alchemists.

  Qin Yun dug out an internal elixir from the Wolf King's body, roughly the size of a chicken egg. It was round and semi-transparent with an icy blue color, emitting a faint cold aura that was unmistakably of the ice-water attribute.

  Wow! Wow!

  Just as he was about to put the inner elixir into the beast skin pouch, a few low calls suddenly came from the not-too-distant forest.

  Sounds like the laughter of a baby, soft and pleasant to hear.

  Qin Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a snow-white fox jumping out from the snowy tree cluster.

  It stopped at a distance of only twenty or thirty steps from Qin Yun, curiously sizing up Qin Yun with cautious and vigilant movements, like a child afraid of strangers.

  Snow Fox? Qin Yun smiled slightly.

  The fox is different from wolves and beasts, it is a gentle animal that will not attack people actively, and poses no threat to Qin Yun.

  In the past when I was in Shanglie Village, the hunters in the village had been following their ancestors' rules for generations and never hunted foxes.

  They believed that the fox was the daughter of the mountain god, and hunting the fox would be retaliated by the mountain god. Even if the purchase price of fox fur in Dajing Town reached more than ten taels of silver, no hunter had ever been tempted.

  The foxes in the Yunwu Mountains are not afraid of hunters, they will even lead the way for hunters to find the dens of wild wolves and wild boars, so that after the hunters harvest, they can give them a little reward.

  The clever fox sometimes follows the wolf pack and picks up some leftovers, so when Qin Yun saw this white-haired fox appear here, he didn't feel surprised.

  He cut off a piece of wolf king meat with his hunting knife and threw it far away: "Eat up, little guy!"

  Qin Yun had heard all sorts of legends about fox spirits since he was young, saying that some fox spirits would transform into maidens after becoming immortals, falling in love with mortals, and being intelligent, beautiful, and loyal were the perfect symbols.

  Sometimes he even fantasized that his mother, whom he had never met, might be a fox spirit, because in his imagination, his mother was just such a woman.

  As soon as he saw the meat flying over, Snow Fox swiftly turned around and escaped into the thicket of trees behind.

  But a moment later, it poked its little head out from beside the snow and stared at the wolf meat on the ground.

  The little guy was clearly unable to resist the temptation of food, or it had been hungry for a long time. After making sure there was no danger, it trotted with small steps and started gnawing on the wolf meat.

  Qin Yun smiled and ignored it, continuing to collect the corpse of Lang Wang.

  The wolf king's most precious inner elixir was obtained, but the value of other parts will not be low, wolf teeth, wolf claws and even wolf eyes are all good materials.

  Come next year back to Qianchao City, these things can be sold for a good price.

  On this side, the snow fox quickly swallowed the wolf meat clean. It probably knew that Qin Yun had no malice towards it and actually approached his side, jumping around him in circles.

  "Haven't you eaten enough yet?"

  Qin Yun smiled and squatted down, first using the snow to wipe off the bloodstains on his hands, then cut a large piece of leg meat and handed it over.

  This time the arctic fox was much bolder and it came over obediently, right under Qin Yun's feet, eating with great relish.

  Qin Yun tentatively stretched out his hand and saw that the snow fox did not resist or shrink back, so he gently placed it on its neck.

  Wow! Wow!

  The snow fox seemed to be enjoying this affection, it stretched its head and let out a low cry towards Qin Yun.

  At this time, Qin Yun noticed that its eyes were actually emerald green, like jade, crystal clear and pure, very beautiful.

  Jade Jade Snow Fox!

  Qin Yun's heart stirred, and he suddenly remembered a kind of spiritual beast recorded in the Jiuzhou Youling Tulu.

  Biyu Snow Fox and Chi Jing Snow Wolf only live on Manglong Mountain and the Northern Ice Field, but the former is a low-level spiritual beast and is extremely rare in number.

  They are evolved from ordinary white arctic foxes, agile and intelligent, moving like the wind, almost impossible to be caught by humans.

  The most distinctive feature of the Biyu Snow Fox is its pair of emerald green eyes.

  Qin Yun really didn't expect that this little guy who came to take advantage of him would actually be a spiritual beast.

  But thinking carefully, probably only a spiritual beast would dare to follow behind a pack of wolves led by the wolf king, an ordinary fox absolutely wouldn't have such guts.

  "Huh?"

  Suddenly, a faint sound entered Qin Yun's ears.

  Someone!

  Qin Yun was greatly shocked and grabbed the Qingguang sword stuck in the ground with one hand.

  He has been guarding the mine for more than a month and has never seen anyone appear, especially in the current situation where the mountain is sealed off by heavy snow.

  This couldn't help but make him feel a strong sense of vigilance in his heart.

  Still in the mountain forest where Xue Lang appeared, a group of people trudged out through the deep snow.

  There were about a dozen of them, each carrying swords and bows on their backs. The ones walking behind led over a dozen pack horses.

  These men were all wrapped in thick animal hide cloaks, looking tall and fierce, not like good people at all. They glared at Qin Yun with a menacing light.

  Surrounded in the middle was a handsome young man wearing a fox fur cloak, with an expression of arrogance and disdain for everything, he should be the leader of this group.

  "We chased for half a day, and didn't expect you to take advantage of us!"

  The speaker was a beautiful young woman standing beside a handsome young man.

  She was in her twenties, at the most mature time, with a plump and curvy figure wrapped in a red tight suit, with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom.

  Although she was talking to Qin Yun, her pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes were fixed on the young man beside him, with autumn waves overflowing and wanting to speak but hesitating, charming to the point of being almost dripping with water.

  Qin Yun's heart sank, he hadn't expected that the other party was also chasing after the Snow Wolf pack.

  Looking at their attire and behavior, they should be the young masters of some family who came to hunt in the mountains and chased all the way here.

  The handsome young man snorted, looking at Qin Yun with a slanted gaze and said indifferently: "Hand over the Wolf King's inner elixir and my Jade Fox, then kneel on the ground and kowtow three times to apologize. I can consider sparing your life!"

  It's really arrogant and unscrupulous! Qin Yun's heart suddenly surged with anger, his right hand tightened around the hilt of his sword.

  Looking at their fearless appearance, they must be confident in themselves. They dare to venture into the depths of Manglong Mountain at this time, and they must have real strength.

  Qin Yun was alone and had just advanced to the second heaven of Qi Refining, how could he possibly be a match for the group?

  But as a man, I would rather die standing than live kneeling! The opponent's arrogance has instead stirred up Qin Yun's determination to fight to the death!

  "Kid, you've got three breaths to think it over."

  Seeing Qin Yun's silence, a tall and sturdy iron tower-like man standing on the right side of the handsome young man shouted in a deep voice: "Do you really want to die?!"

  His voice wasn't particularly loud, but it fell into Qin Yun's ears like a thunderclap, especially the word "death" which pierced his eardrums and entered his soul!

  This burly black man with a huge sword on his back was undoubtedly the strongest among this group of people. He looked at Qin Yun with an unmasked contempt in his eyes, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant.

  The time of three breaths passed in an instant.

  Qin Yun did not hand over his inner elixir and even more so did not kneel down to beg for mercy.

  He raised his Qinghua sword and faced the unprecedented strong enemy. He spat on the ground: "Ptoo!"

  That's Qin Yun's answer!

  "Good!" The big black man laughed in extreme anger: "Want to die? I'll fulfill your wish!"
