When he came in front of the red fox, he coughed twice.

The red fox moved its tail, lifted its straw hat, and saw He Ling standing in front of its recliner.

"Oh oh." The red fox called twice. In the past, He Ling would come over to drop some precious spring water and then leave. According to its experience, now he should come over to give it a few words of advice and then leave.

Seeing that the red fox couldn't even stand up to fight, He Ling's plan to work as a fox became more determined. She stood in front of the red fox with an air of condescension.

"Baby, Daddy is very disappointed in you."

The red fox was stunned and looked at He Ling. A question mark slowly appeared on the fox's head with red hair.

He Ling stepped forward, pinched the red fox's armpits with both hands, and immediately made the red fox stand upright.

The red fox looked at He Ling blankly. Its little head could no longer understand the meaning of He Ling's actions.

Then He Ling looked at the red fox with a heavy face, "My boy, our family can hardly afford to eat."

The red fox glanced at the black dog that was gnawing on a piece of thigh meat not far away, and looked at He Ling with full of doubt in his green eyes. That was the prize given to the black dog yesterday as a reward for running around the cage for a day, a thigh of a pig-like monster, almost half the height of the black dog.

He Ling naturally saw this scene. She coughed twice, causing Qing'er to crawl out of her sleeve and look at He Ling with some concern.

He Ling coughed even more violently, and this time it was real.

After a while, He Ling, with a hint of red on her face, finally turned serious. "Xiaohong, you know that you and Black Dog have been using medicinal pills almost every day. As for me, I've also bought a lot of spiritual medicines recently."

"Plus, I've been tinkering with that big toy for Dahei lately, and now our family can barely make ends meet."

As He Ling spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

The red fox was also skeptical. After all, it was just a spirit beast and had never come into contact with humans before. It didn't know the wickedness of human hearts. However, He Ling was really good to it. He gave it food and shelter and never beat or scolded it. It reminded it of the time when its mother fed it when it was young. However, after it grew up, its mother drove it out. After that, it wandered alone. Later, it met a dying black dog in a cave, and then it met He Ling. It also wanted to repay He Ling, so it took the initiative to help with some things. Although there were many doubts about this matter, the red fox still chose to believe He Ling.

"Uh-huh-huh."

He Ling touched the red fox's head and said with emotion, "I knew Xiaohong was the best. There's something I need Xiaohong to do. Come with me."

As soon as he turned around, the corners of He Ling's mouth curled up, "Little red fox, catch it."

He brought the red fox into the house, took out a book of Five Elements Talismans and let it read by itself. During the period before coming to Xilan City, He Ling taught Qing'er to read and write whenever he had time. The red fox was smart and had learned most of it even by listening. It was easy for it to understand a book.

Then he went to the Equipment Refining Pavilion again and customized several array plates for the talisman-making machines. The red fox needed to have the foundation-building cultivation level to guide the spiritual energy out of the body and then control it, so at this stage even if it learned to draw talismans, it could not draw them and could only rely on the talisman-making machine for the time being.

It is worth mentioning that although the monster beasts in the Qi Refining Stage cannot cause out-of-body movement, their physique is quite powerful, and most monster beasts are accompanied by innate magic. The cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage are generally weaker than the monster beasts, but when they reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Foundation Establishment cultivators can rely on the spiritual power in their bodies to transform into liquid, and use the magic power that has undergone qualitative changes to nourish magic weapons. This is equivalent to humans having sharp teeth and sharp mouths. During this period, human cultivators are basically not afraid of monster beasts of the same level. In fact, because human cultivators have many means, most Foundation Establishment cultivators are a little stronger than the monster beasts in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The foundation-building cultivator in Yuxian Town didn't want to get hurt, so he never used his full strength. However, he didn't know that there were two foundation-building monsters, and he ended up dying on the spot.

Perhaps the weapon refining level in Xilan City was higher than that in Yuxian Town. This time, He Ling only had to wait for two days before retrieving the array plate. On the way back, he exchanged it for some Five Elements Spirit Stones. However, the exchange ratio between attributeless spirit stones and Five Elements Spirit Stones in Xilan City was not that high, only about 1:1.2.

He Ling exchanged spirit stones of each attribute for one thousand pieces.

When they returned to the cave, five talisman-making machines were born. They were debugged one by one. After confirming that there were no problems, they let the red fox come and try it.

The red fox had been staring at the five disc-like objects curiously. When it saw He Ling give up his seat to it, it climbed onto the chair eagerly.

The furry red claws were very flexible, and the pink pads could hold the talisman pen with a slight bend. With He Ling's guidance, the red fox gradually mastered the trick after failing four or five times.

It fiddled with the pick beside it with one paw, and wrote and drew on the yellow paper with the talisman pen with the other paw. Until the last stroke was completed, the talisman lit up with a faint flame, and a fireball talisman was drawn.

He Ling picked up the fireball talisman and took a look at it. She didn't expect that the red fox could draw one so quickly. You know, when she first went to find Qi Ning, the little girl failed to draw more than 20 times before she succeeded.

With a trace of magic power, the fireball talisman turned into ashes in an instant, and a fireball as big as a washbasin rushed forward, but the fireball only moved forward half a meter, and then it was as if it hit an invisible wall, and the flames scattered and disappeared in the air.

"Well, the power is acceptable."

The red fox was still excited about new things, so he picked up the talisman pen and started painting.

He Ling glanced at the red fox and asked, "Could it be that it really is a genius?"

He Ling had a plan in mind. He could teach it how to make pills when he had time. However, the red fox could not mobilize spiritual power and could not draw out spiritual fire. He had to make a spiritual fire machine.

But at least the talisman issue was finally settled.

She touched the red fox's head, said a few words of encouragement, and said that whether her master could have a meal depended entirely on it. The red fox whimpered twice with full of energy, which made He Ling feel relieved.

Walking out of the door, He Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt a little sorry for the red fox, he finally solved the problem of the talisman.

He returned to the blacksmith shop and started tinkering again.

With fewer miscellaneous things to do, the progress of Running Cage No. 2 has been significantly improved.

On a large blue paper, He Ling basically completed the design of Running Cage No. 2. This time it was no longer a simple rotor structure, but a multi-rotor structure. Simply put, on the basis of a large rotor, three small rotors were installed at three equidistant positions. In this way, three generators would generate electricity with one rotation, and then the electricity would be connected to a battery made of hydrochloric acid. The battery could not only store current, but also increase the voltage of the current, killing two birds with one stone.

As for hydrochloric acid, it was made from green vanadium that He Ling found when buying iron ore. This was one of the few chemical knowledge that He Ling remembered. When the chemistry teacher talked about this on the stage, he joked that if you traveled through time, remembering this knowledge point could save your life.

Although he knew the teacher was joking, He Ling remembered this knowledge point very clearly.
