The design of the wooden cabin is quite simple, but it is surrounded by dense vines and several giant camphor trees, forming a natural barrier.
In one corner of the cabin, there is a simple fire pit made of stones, and the smoke slowly drifting out of the chimney creates a strong contrast with the fresh air around.
Sitou LianWearing a tight white combat suit, she exudes a unique atmosphere with every move she makes.
This solitary woman, who usually keeps to herself, has done something unexpected today—she has taken out a simple bamboo basket and a long bamboo pole, and walked to the clear stream near the small wooden house.
"Listen carefully, these are the basic fishing techniques," Sitou Lian said firmly to everyone.
The female disciples watching the scene all seemed to be fascinated and a little curious.
Shen Xiaozi also joined the group, curiously watching every move of Sitou Lian.
Sitou Lian quickly put the bait on the fish hook, then skillfully cast the bamboo rod, the fishing line tightened, the whole process was extremely smooth.
"This way, you can obtain food in the shortest amount of time, but remember, no matter what you do, don't forget to be vigilant of the surrounding environment."
"Oh, by the way, how do you gather wood for a fire?" Shangguan Yao asked, with great interest.
"Mm, choose dry wood and bark, use a stone to strike sparks, ignite the bark, and then use it to light the wood." Sitou Lian explained it clearly and then demonstrated it once.
Before long, a pleasant aroma began to fill the air, and everyone's faces showed satisfied smiles.
"Also, regarding killing demons..." Sitou Lian suddenly became serious, "You still need to learn the basic skills of demon-slaying. Otherwise, even if you succeed in passing the test, you will still face powerful demons when you receive missions, and you will still lack the ability to protect yourself."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively, and various female disciples gathered around, including even Shen Xiaozi, who is usually very close to Xuan Xiaowei.
"Sitou Lian is really kind, much better than NanGong Ling." A female disciple's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Yeah, that's right. NanGong Ling is just a proud guy, not worth mentioning at all," another female disciple quickly agreed.
Bai Cang stood aside, with a barely noticeable look of surprise in his eyes, then turned to look at Xuan Xiaowei beside him. "From everyone sticking to you before, to now sticking to someone else, do you find it annoying?"
Xuan Xiaowei waved her hand and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "No, I'm actually happy. Having one more person to help share the burden and take care of everyone together is a good thing."
Bai Cang looked at her with a smile, about to say something, but at that moment, the Qingqiu stone in his arms reacted.
His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, as if capturing some important information. "Xuan Xiaowei, I need to go out for a bit, there are some things I need to take care of."
"What are you going out to do? How about I accompany you, it will be safer that way," Xuan Xiaowei responded, her voice revealing a hint of concern.
"Okay, let's go together."
Bai Cang and Xuan Xiaowei slowly walked out of the wooden house and stepped into the forest shrouded in thick fog.
In the green light and shadow woven by the leaves and sunlight, Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang walked along a swaying path of tree shadows.
The rich woody scent of the forest mixed with the fragrance of moss, as if the air was filled with ancient and mysterious flavors.
But even in such beautiful natural scenery, a certain unease and cruelty are being displayed in an undeniable way before their eyes.
Along the way, broken branches, struggling marks in the bushes, and occasional glimpses of fresh blood all suggest that a fierce battle has recently taken place here.
Bai Cang, the elegant white tiger, quickened its pace as if sensing the nearby atmosphere of unease.
His pointed ears twitched as if listening to something. His pure white fur trembled gently in the breeze, like a piece of sacred brocade.
Xuan Xiaowei sensed Bai Cang's tension but didn't ask further. Her heart was filled with doubt and unease, and her fists clenched involuntarily.
After passing through a patch of misty clouds, they finally arrived at a picturesque plain with a shimmering Cuiying Lake beside it.
Several lotus leaves floated on the surface of the lake, as if guarding against the impending storm.
But at this moment, behind this beautiful scene, a dramatic spectacle is unfolding.
A petite but mysterious white fox, surrounded by a mysterious aura, is in a fierce battle with a female disciple of the Pure Moon Sect dressed in a purple Daoist robe.
The female disciple's expression revealed an unparalleled arrogance, as if the other party was nothing more than a fish under her sword.
She pointed her sword at the little fox and sneered, "Very well, a rare opportunity indeed, to find a young Nine-Tailed Fox. Give up struggling and become my spirit pet. Otherwise, I will take your demon pill and make a gorgeous garment out of your nine tails." Her voice was full of threats, and the sword tip shimmered with a cold light, as if it could cut through the air at any moment.
The little fox, on the other hand, had a determined look on its face. Covered in mud and bloodstains, its nine tails had lost their former luster, but it still maintained its dignity.
It puffed out its chest, widening its sad yet resolute eyes, clearly not intending to give up so easily.
Its roar echoed across the open plains and the shores of Cuiying Lake, as if trying to express its determination for life and its longing for freedom in this way.
The female disciple's mouth curled into a cold smile, as if she had just heard a joke. She raised her sword, the tip gleaming with a cold light, as if foreshadowing the impending death. "It seems you're not planning to behave, so I'll just have to take your demon pill."
At that moment, Bai Cang suddenly trembled, then became blurry and instantly transformed into a huge white tiger, leaping agilely in front of the little fox.
Its eyes are like icy lakes, cold and deep. The golden bell around its neck gently sways, emitting a clear ringing sound.
The female disciple looked slightly surprised, then her gaze fell on the golden bell around the white tiger's neck, and her pupils contracted. "Is this... the mark of a fellow disciple's spirit pet?"
Immediately, he shouted into the distance, "May I ask if there are any fellow disciples of the same sect here? Please show yourselves quickly. I was the first to discover this little fox. It wouldn't be honorable to snatch the prey like this, would it?"
At this moment, Xuan Xiaowei stepped forward and arrived between the white tiger and the little fox, saying in a deep voice, "Bai Cang is my spiritual pet, and I cannot let you harm it."
The female disciple showed a displeased expression and said, "Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs?"
Xuan Xiaowei smiled, but the smile was not friendly. "I am Xuan Xiaowei, also a disciple of the Pure Moon Sect. I cannot tolerate bullying of the weak."
The female disciple was taken aback, seemingly intimidated by Xuan Xiaowei's momentum for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and sneered, "Do you know how much the demon pill and tail of this little fox can help in cultivation?"
Xuan Xiaowei sighed, with a hint of sadness in her tone, "I know, but I also know that spirit pets or demons, they also have life, they also have emotions. I cannot tolerate cultivation at the cost of life."
The female disciple pursed her lips. "The thing that NanGong Ling has set her sights on, there's no way she would let go. Besides, it's just a demon beast. Why should we be merciful to it?"
The White Tiger let out a low growl, its sharp gaze fixed on NanGong Ling, as if warning her. The little fox took the opportunity to hide behind Xuan Xiaowei.
Xuan Xiaowei looked at the little fox covered in wounds, feeling a pang in her heart. She turned to her female disciple once again and said, "NanGong Ling, we will not back down."
NanGong Ling sneered, "In that case, let's settle this with our strength."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the forest became extremely tense, as if even the air had solidified. Xuan Xiaowei clenched his fists, while Bai Cang let out a roar, signaling that a fierce battle was about to unfold.
