Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

After rushing out of the cave, Ji Nanbei stopped and turned to look at the cave entrance.

"roar--!!"

The black bear roared and charged forward, heading straight for Ji Nanbei, its thick paws raised high.

It can only be said that this monster truly lives up to its Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level; its size is astonishing.

While it was crouching in the cave, Ji Nanbei couldn't quite estimate its height, but now he could see clearly that the black bear was four or five meters tall when it stood upright!

A single bear paw is bigger than Su Qianxue's entire body, this little fox!

With a single palm strike, the force was terrifying.

Using the speed boost granted by the Swiftness Talisman, Ji Nanbei dodged the attack at the last second.

The bear's paw slammed into the ground with a deafening roar.

Where Ji Nanbei had been standing, earth and rocks flew everywhere, and the black bear had smashed a shallow pit into the ground.

You should know that it used to be a solid rock.

The force of this blow was considerable.

After dodging, Ji Nanbei immediately used the little spiritual power he had left to bring his claws together.

The black bear missed its attack and turned to pounce on Ji Nanbei again.

He raised both palms high, intending to smash Ji Nanbei into mincemeat.

Just then, spiritual energy was activated, and the talisman that had been pasted on the black bear's back turned into specks of light and dissipated.

That was the third-grade spirit talisman that Ji Nanbei had recently obtained—the Lightning-Attracting Talisman!

A thunderclap resounded in the sky.

Immediately following was a deafening roar, and a thick bolt of lightning with a radius of about two or three meters suddenly struck down.

"Boom—!"

The black bear had its arms raised, like a natural lightning rod, which attracted the bolt of lightning.

In an instant, lightning struck its body, and the black bear froze before it could even let out a scream.

As the lightning dissipated, the massive body fell straight down, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

[The campaign is complete. You have gained 50,000 Demonic Path Points, and the Grade 3 Spiritual Item "Joyful Union Powder" has been stored in your system space.]

Ji Nanbei was speechless.

In the end, I chose option two, and what I got was naturally nothing special.

The name "Hehuan San" sounded off to Ji Nanbei, who didn't even bother to look at the official explanation!

After confirming that the black bear was dead, Ji Nanbei slowly walked up to it.

Upon closer inspection, the black bear's fur was charred.

Third-grade talismans, especially powerful talismans like the Lightning-Attracting Talisman that draw upon the might of heaven and earth, are clearly beyond the capabilities of mere Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts.

"Wow, you're amazing, senior!"

Even though he couldn't see Su Qianxue, Ji Nanbei could imagine the little fox's eyes shining.

"Stay here for now and don't wander around. The lingering scent of this black bear should keep you safe for a while, understand?"

"Mmm-hmm!"

Su Qianxue didn't ask Ji Nanbei why he was so good to her.

Monsters sometimes have much simpler thoughts than humans.

People might suspect that the other party has ulterior motives, but Su Qianxue simply believes that Ji Nanbei treats her well.

Since they have been good to you, you should remember it and repay them when you have the chance.

It's that simple.

Ji Nanbei then became somewhat worried.

How to deal with this giant bear is a rather tricky problem.

This stuff can serve as food for the fox cubs and will last them a long time before it rots.

However... the black bear was far too large, and Su Qianxue was far too small, making it quite difficult to handle.

Ji Nanbei suddenly remembered the cultivation techniques he had received.

Among them seems to be a technique suitable for the fox clan, called "Nine Slashes of the Fox".

This technique is well-suited to the fox clan's sharp claws, allowing them to unleash fierce slashes, which are described as quite powerful.

Hmm, if I cultivate this, I should be able to split this black bear in two.

"Hey, little fox, I'll teach you something."

"Huh? Oh, okay!"

Immediately, Ji Nanbei began to practice the "Nine Slashes of the Fox" according to the inheritance in his mind.

The content of "Nine Slashes of the Fox" is quite simple, consisting of nine moves. The naming is even more straightforward, simply called the First Slash, the Second Slash, and so on. Clearly, the demon race doesn't pay much attention to naming things.

Despite its simple name, its power is not to be underestimated.

As Ji Nanbei moved, a powerful slash suddenly erupted from his claws, even stirring up the airflow and almost forming a gale.

First strike!

With a single blow, it severed one of the black bear's forepaws.

The physical strength of a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast is far beyond that of ordinary beasts.

However, with only the cultivation level of Qi Refining Level 1, Ji Nanbei still managed to cut off the bear paw after unleashing this first strike.

This shows just how astonishing the power of the "Nine Slashes of the Fox" truly is.

Ji Nanbei himself hadn't expected this move to be so powerful.

Upon looking at the panel, the name of the technique has already appeared in the technique section.

Fox Movement Nine Slashes (Fifth-Rank Technique) (Beginner Level)

This is actually a fifth-grade technique!

No wonder it's so powerful.

"How was it? Did you learn it?"

"I'm not sure, maybe I've learned it. I need to try it myself to be sure."

Su Qianxue's tone was somewhat hesitant.

However, Ji Nanbei's teaching method is undoubtedly far more effective than any other method.

This can no longer be called teaching by example.

This allows you to personally experience and feel the entire process of delivering that strike.

As long as the little fox isn't lacking in comprehension, it should remember it. After practicing a few times, it should be able to master this first strike.

Ji Nanbei nodded.

He couldn't use it a second time.

Even the first move of a fifth-grade technique consumes an enormous amount of energy.

Ji Nanbei felt as if the entire fox had been hollowed out.

After dragging and pulling the severed bear paw into the cave, Ji Nanbei lit a fire again and began roasting the bear paw.

Roasted bear paw, what a wonderful thing!

While roasting the bear paws, Ji Nanbei also selected a cultivation technique from the knowledge he had acquired and taught it to Su Qianxue.

Ji Nanbei did not practice this time, since he already possessed the "Immortal Spirit Scripture".

That's a closely guarded secret of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, naturally far superior to other cultivation techniques.

"From now on, you will train here and must not wander off. When you get hungry, use the techniques I taught you to butcher the black bear, understand?"

"Mmm-hmm!"

The little fox's mind was not on cultivation at the moment.

Its eyes were fixed on the bear paw that was being roasted.

Ji Nanbei then took out a bottle of first-grade pill, "Qi Refining Powder," from the system space.

He no longer needed it himself, but it would be perfect for the little fox.

Speaking of system space, let me mention it briefly.

The system space can only store items produced by the system; other items cannot be included.

You also cannot exploit loopholes in the spatial characteristics card, such as putting things in the storage ring produced by the system and then putting them back in.

If that were the case, Ji Nanbei would probably have already smuggled a hundred or so high-level treasures from Xiao Jingxi.

The system space is bound to Ji Nanbei's soul.

Whether it's the original body or the possessed body, one can open the system space and retrieve items from it for use.

This is convenient, as Ji Nanbei can use some over-the-top items to solve the predicament faced by a body with low cultivation level.

Just like the little fox right now, if Ji Nanbei can't use the talisman, the situation will be really tricky.
