Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor.

“咚咚咚！”

The soil in front of the white fox was deeply sunken from repeated, forceful kowtowing, forming a small pit, and its fluffy white fur was covered in dirt.

“This…”

Qiu Zhen was slightly moved.

In fact, although he had carefully considered it in his mind, given his personality, he would probably have chosen to refine the "Spiritual Essence" in the end.

Just like that day in the back mountain of Qiu Family Village, he had unhesitatingly chosen to lure the demon with his own body.

As a cultivator, it is natural to have "fear," which is a sense of awe for the heavens and earth and the outside world.

However, when faced with the "Ten Demonic Obstructions," which cannot be avoided, and the "Demonic Trial," he cannot feel fear or the desire to escape.

But now…

Qiu Zhen looked at Bai Shu, who was kowtowing incessantly, his expression moved, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Speaking of which, he wouldn't mistreat Bai Shu for following him. After learning the [Guo Wenju Beast Taming Immortal Technique], he had a comprehensive and systematic understanding of cultivating spiritual beasts and demon beasts.

Even if Bai Shu's aptitude was a bit lacking, under his cultivation, as long as he became a great supernatural power cultivator, Bai Shu could also become a great demon envied by countless demon clans.

It's just that if it wants to go further, or keep up with his pace, it will require great fortune and Bai Shu's own efforts.

And now, the white fox kowtowing under the moonlight.

In its humble position, it seizes every opportunity to climb upward, desperately. In Bai Shu, he saw a shadow of his former self.

“Forget it, I will help you.”

Qiu Zhen shook his head and handed over the Spiritual Essence, which was both an opportunity and possibly a "poison."

“Thank you, Young Master, for your accomplishment!”

Bai Shu thanked him in a childish voice, and then its body stood upright in human form, holding the flying "Spiritual Essence" with both paws, its face full of joy.

“Young Master, how should I take it?”

“Swallow it, and circulate the Qi Absorption Method I taught you. It will melt upon entering your mouth.”

“Okay!”

Bai Shu swallowed it happily.

Sure enough, as soon as the "Spiritual Essence" entered the fox's mouth, it immediately burst into a cloud of misty spiritual light.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah~”

In a short while, the excitement and anticipation on Bai Shu's small face disappeared, replaced by a look of pain, and its body rolled on the ground, emitting painful wails.

“Bai Shu, don't think about anything, calm your mind and refine it internally.”

Qiu Zhen's expression was calm, and Bai Shu's painful wails were within his expectations.

That Yin Demon was not a small demon, but a small demon general, and the "Spiritual Essence" it left behind was very terrifying.

Normally, Bai Shu would definitely not be able to digest it, but this time it had just experienced "enlightenment," and its life origin was surging, with infinite possibilities. As long as it put its heart into it, refining the "Spiritual Essence" would not be a problem.

It's just that the process is a bit painful, which can be regarded as a test on the path of seeking the Dao.

Of course, Qiu Zhen was not idle either.

He probed into Bai Shu's body with his divine sense and observed it carefully.

At the same time, Qiu Zhen's Dharma Body in the Lingtai Sea of Consciousness bloomed with golden light, examining the "Bai Shu" kneeling and prostrating to him in the Sea of Consciousness, in case of accidents.

His willingness to let go and help Bai Shu was mainly due to his confidence in his own strength.

In case something really happened, he could save it.

Furthermore, from the perspective of an observer, the Yuan Shen Dharma Body fully observes, monitors, and analyzes whether the demon's "Spiritual Essence" after refinement can become a great medicine for cultivation, and whether there are any hidden dangers in the future. Everything is clear at a glance and cannot escape the control of his Yuan Shen Dharma Body.

Two days later.

“Boom!”

Around Qiu Zhen's valley, a muffled thunderclap exploded in the sky.

The Qiu Family Village clansmen who were working enthusiastically all looked up at the sky, seeing the dark sky and rolling dark clouds.

“It's going to rain soon, work faster.”

“Fortunately, the roof of my thatched hut has been built, otherwise my whole family will become drowned rats.”

“Hurry up and work, don't dawdle.”

The Qiu Family Patriarch and elders urged them, each feeling a sense of urgency.

However, in the nearby Qiu Zhen Valley, a look of surprise appeared on Qiu Zhen's face.

Just now, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the valley.

Immediately afterward, clusters of pure Thunder Qi surged towards the sleeping Bai Shu.

“Huhu~”

“Zizi~”

At this moment, a strong wind rolled around Bai Shu, lightning flickered, and its aura became stronger and stronger.

“It's done.”

Qiu Zhen was overjoyed.

In the past two days, his Yuan Shen Dharma Body has fully observed Bai Shu, basically confirming that the Spiritual Essence refined by his Yuan Shen golden light has indeed become a "great medicine for cultivation" without hidden demonic nature.

Bai Shu, who has a firm Dao heart and is brave enough to seize opportunities, has won the bet and obtained a great fortune.

“Boom!”

Another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and landed beside Bai Shu.

Immediately, demonic energy rolled and white mist filled the air.

The next moment, a child dressed in a plain cloth robe, dressed as a scholar, with a round face, pink and jade-like, with arms and calves like lotus roots, walked out of the white mist, with a few cunningness in his clear and bright eyes, both childish and pure.

“Young Master, do I look like a human?”

“Yes!”

Qiu Zhen replied immediately.

He had heard of demons and ghosts asking for recognition, but unfortunately, Bai Shu was not asking for recognition. It was showing a human form, which was an "illusion," a transformation technique, not becoming a "Shape-shifting Great Demon" with the ability to regenerate and change its destiny.

However, even so, the current Bai Shu is also very remarkable.

Fox demons and fox spirits are naturally good at illusions, and Bai Shu's current illusion has reached a considerable level.

If he didn't have the Heavenly Eye Divine Power like him, I'm afraid even an Acquired Martial Master would not be able to see through Bai Shu's details at once and regard it as an ordinary child.

“Wonderful.”

Qiu Zhen beckoned and said:

“Bai Shu, show me what else you can do.”

“Okay, Young Master.”

Bai Shu may also have felt the changes in its body, and a look of reverence appeared on its small face, holding up its hands.

As it spoke, a strong wind swept around it, and lightning flickered.

“Drink!”

Bai Shu shouted loudly and spat out.

A gust of wind mixed with thunder, spewing out.

“Bang!”

A giant rock on a hillside in the valley was struck by lightning and exploded, and pieces of gravel splashed, with rolling smoke.

“Wind Thunder Spirit Fox!”

Qiu Zhen was overjoyed when he saw this.

After being "enlightened" by him and nourished by the demon general's "Spiritual Essence," making up for its shortcomings, in the dark, its life origin had undergone a transformation, leaping from an ordinary [Green Wood Wind Fox] to a [Wind Thunder Spirit Fox], controlling the power of wind and thunder, and having the ability to control wind and thunder.

[Wind Thunder Spirit Fox] belongs to the bloodline of an Innate Demon Beast.

Moreover, among the bloodlines of Innate Demon Beasts, it is considered an "upper bloodline," with strong strength and extremely high potential.

“Bai Shu, you have a great fortune, your bloodline has evolved, your roots have transformed, and you have the bloodline power of [Wind Thunder Spirit Fox]!”

Qiu Zhen was filled with emotion.

Bai Shu's current strength is comparable to a Fifth Level Martial Master. With its power of wind and thunder, plus its talent for illusion, it can basically walk unhindered beneath the Acquired Realm.

Moreover, with the bloodline power of [Wind Thunder Spirit Fox], Bai Shu's subsequent promotion to an Innate Demon Beast is a matter of course and not difficult.

Although he obtained the [Guo Wenju Beast Taming Immortal Technique], without this fortune, it would not be an easy task to cultivate Bai Shu into a [Wind Thunder Spirit Fox].

It completely depends on luck.

“Wind… Wind Thunder Spirit Fox, I have become a Wind Thunder Spirit Fox…”

Bai Shu has always been clever and understood what had happened to itself, and also understood what it meant to become a [Wind Thunder Spirit Fox] in one fell swoop.

As an ordinary fox beast, it was already fortunate to become a Wind Fox demon beast. It had never thought that it could become an Innate Demon Beast, let alone the legendary "Wind Thunder Spirit Fox."

And all of this…

Bai Shu looked at Qiu Zhen in a green robe, its eyes slightly red, and it was so excited that it kowtowed immediately:

“Thank you, Young Master, for bestowing me with this fortune!”

“咚咚咚~”

“No need to be so polite.”

Qiu Zhen touched Bai Shu's small head, and was also happy for Bai Shu in his heart.

With Bai Shu's current strength, it is also a great help to him. When it is not convenient to show his strength, having Bai Shu to protect him can avoid a lot of trouble.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that the "Spiritual Essence" was a real great medicine for cultivation.

This undoubtedly opened a new door for him and discovered a new world.

In the future, he will have another way to nourish his essence and refine himself, improve his strength, cultivate the "Leakless Body" to return to the Innate, and get rid of the predicament of poor roots.

“Fishing for demons with one's own body, this path is really wild and refreshing…”

While Qiu Zhen was thinking, the voices of the Qiu Family clansmen calling from outside the valley came.

“Are there any distinguished guests coming to find me?”
