Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Luo San glanced at the red-tailed fox not far away, and looked at the female Qi-refining cultivator hiding behind the male Foundation-Building cultivator with a half-smile.

"Although there is not much meat to eat, the fur is nice."

After saying that, the red-tailed fox that was lying on the ground licking its wounds shuddered, and the fiery red hair on its tail instantly exploded.

"How can you be so cruel, Xiao Chi..." The female cultivator hiding behind the male cultivator who was building the foundation heard this and said angrily to Luo San, but she was interrupted by her eldest brother halfway through her words.

"Little sister, be careful with your words." Li Tongzong looked unhappy. Although he was also unhappy when he heard Luo San's words, he was really dissatisfied that his little sister, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, was so impatient.

"My fellow Taoist, this red-tailed fox is my little sister's pet. If you really want to get a red-tailed fox, you can go to the dark market in Suyue City. I heard that a new batch of demon beasts have arrived recently, and maybe there are red-tailed foxes among them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Shan's waist inconspicuously, and saw an exquisite square white jade pendant that looked like an inkstone, which surprised him even more.

Although there are many cultivators in Southern Xinjiang, there are two major tribes, one of which is the Gu tribe, and the other is the Corpse Puppet tribe, which uses corpses as puppets. This female cultivator may not look very old, but she has the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and she is from the Corpse Puppet tribe, so she must have an extraordinary identity.

While pondering whether or not to make friends with the other party, he saw that the two men not far away who had been thinking about killing people and taking the fox were planning to escape quietly.

Li Tongzong snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand flew out, piercing the back of one of the male cultivators.

Seeing this, the other male cultivator sped up and tried to escape.

Li Tongzong's face darkened and he wanted to chase after her, but he stopped. He rolled up his sleeves, and the injured red-tailed fox was in his palm. He grabbed the female cultivator and went to chase after the other male cultivator.

Compared with this female cultivator from southern Xinjiang, the two male cultivators who almost killed his younger sister could not tolerate her leaving the Songwu Forest alive.

Luo Shan saw the other party's guard against her, but she didn't care. She thought about what the other party had said before about Songwu Forest and Suyue City, and frowned.

The Songwu Forest is located in the southeast of the Dongyue Continent, and is tens of thousands of miles away from the Donglin Secret Realm. If she wants to return to Southern Xinjiang, she has to cross tens of thousands of miles of mountains and cross more than a dozen large cities. Even taking the teleportation array requires several trips, not to mention the spirit stones used to take the teleportation array, which is beyond the reach of a person like her with a small foundation.

Except for the Yin-Yang Beads, she had almost used up everything else in the secret realm. In other words, her current wealth might not even be as good as that of a Qi-refining cultivator.

Thinking of this, Luo Shan's face became unhappy, and he even thought about robbing those people.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to change the clothes of the Southern Xinjiang monk she is wearing. After all, this is Dongyue, and her being so ostentatious is really not conducive to her principle of keeping a low profile.

Thinking of this, she began to rummage through her storage bag. Unfortunately, she had thrown away all the useless things in the storage bag when she was in the Donglin Secret Realm before, so now she couldn't find anything when she wanted to change her clothes.

After searching for a while without finding them, Luo San's eyes turned and he jumped directly towards the people who had just left.

The male cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage was accompanied by a Qi Condensation cultivator and wanted to catch up with the other male cultivator in the Qi Condensation stage. Naturally, his speed would not be very fast, but with the help of his spiritual sense at the Foundation Establishment stage, he did not lose him.

Luo San was following closely behind several people. When Li Tongzong noticed this, his heart tightened. He took his little sister and turned in another direction. He found that the female cultivator from Southern Xinjiang was still following closely behind them. His face instantly darkened.

Although Southern Xinjiang and Eastern Yue are not as hostile as Eastern Yue and the Western Region Demon Sect, their relationship can only be described as average. After all, in the eyes of Eastern Yue monks, the cultivation method of Southern Xinjiang cultivators is no different from that of evil cultivators.

However, due to the large number of cultivators in southern Xinjiang, if they were defined as evil cultivators, it might lead to endless fighting between the two regions.

"Fellow Daoist from Southern Xinjiang, what does this mean?" What was the purpose of following behind them? This behavior really displeased him to the extreme.

After all, no one likes to be followed. Thinking of the other party's hiding and peeping when his younger sister was fighting with someone before, Li Tongzong immediately came up with a conspiracy theory.

Could it be that this female cultivator wanted to keep him and his younger sister in the Pine Mist Forest?

It's ridiculous. Not to mention that he is also a foundation-building cultivator, even with his identity, the other party can't be so blind as to not see the word "Li" on his clothes.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I just want to make a deal with your sister." Luo Shan flipped his palm, and the few remaining spirit stones in his palm lay on it.

"I'm new here, so I have to follow the local customs. I wonder if your sister has any clothes? I'm willing to pay you with spirit stones to buy them."

As he spoke, Luo Shan unconsciously shook the white jade coffin at his waist with a smile on his face.

If she appeared in such a ostentatious outfit from Southern Xinjiang, it would probably attract a lot of people's attention. It would be better for her to change into the long robes of the Dongyue monks to conceal her identity as a monk from Southern Xinjiang.

After Luo San finished saying this, Li Tongzong's expression eased slightly, but the vigilance in his eyes did not disappear.

But on second thought, he also understood the intention of Luo San's behavior. He paused for a moment and was about to refuse when he caught a glimpse of the white jade coffin swaying slightly at the other person's waist.

"........."

If the other party was a female cultivator from Southern Xinjiang who was practicing Qi Refining, he would have killed her without saying a word. However, the other party was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. The cultivators in Southern Xinjiang were divided into three special realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Spirit Transformation.

Qi Refining cultivators do not have corpse puppets, they can only control corpses, and their attack power is not strong. Those in the Foundation Establishment Stage have established soul contracts with their own corpse puppets, and can control the corpses and fight at the same time. Those in the Spirit Transformation Stage can directly refine the corpse puppets into clones.

Currently, this female cultivator is already in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and her corpse puppet must be quite powerful. If they were to face each other, he would probably be at a disadvantage since he also has a younger sister who is in the Qi Refining Stage.

After thinking about it, Li Tongzong finally decided not to take action, so he turned to look at his younger sister:

"Ruoyao, since this fellow Taoist is so "sincere", you..."

After Li Tongzong said this, he felt something was wrong. He coughed lightly and signaled Li Ruoyao with his eyes.

Li Ruoyao was somewhat reluctant, as the other party had just disdained her little redness.

However, she knew that her brother did not want to offend the other party, so she took out a set of the lowest-grade robes from her storage bag and threw them over.

Luo Shan took it, handed over the spirit stone in his hand, then turned around and left without looking back.

Li Tongzong was looking at Luo Shan's back on the ground, thinking about something. But he heard his sister's voice in disbelief:

"Brother, is this what you call sincerity?"

Li Tongzong came back to his senses and looked towards the palm of his younger sister's hand. He saw a few low-grade spirit stones lying quietly on it. He was speechless for a moment.

"........."

Are all the monks in Southern Xinjiang so stingy?

With such a small amount of spirit stones, one can only buy a few low-grade talismans, let alone the lowest-grade robes.

"Brother, I'm so pissed off!"

Li Ruoyao raised his hand and wanted to throw the spirit stone away, but in the end he angrily put it back into the storage bag. No matter what, it was still a spirit stone!
