Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 388: Longing for Love (1) (One setting has been slightly modified)

In ancient times, humans, gods, and demons lived together. The situation outside was chaotic and most demons were used as tools for entertainment, performing life-and-death duels for the upper nobles in the dark underground.

But in the remote polar regions, the living environment is harsh and the wind is biting cold. No matter whether it is ordinary monsters or gods, they will not come here easily, so few people set foot here.

When Ji Xiao regained consciousness this time, she discovered that she had changed her race. She was a human before, but now she was a polar white fox that could not transform.

In such a harsh environment, not to mention practicing, even survival is a problem, but fortunately, generally no one comes here.

In the cave where Ji Xiao lives, there are many snow lotuses growing. There are five or six mature ones, and more than a dozen unmature ones. Among them is a thousand-year-old snow lotus that has awakened.

It is not easy for plants to become spirits, so Ji Xiao did not eat it. She just put the other five in the spirit box and left an eight-hundred-year-old snow lotus there.

Afterwards, Ji Xiao wandered around the inner area of ​​the polar region, using the surrounding hurricanes and ice fields to set up a large concealment array. Later, to be more secure, she added a maze and a killing array into it.

After doing all this, Ji Xiao returned to the cave, took out a alchemy cauldron from the space, and took out the Nirvana Fire from the sea of ​​consciousness.

Finally, Ji Xiao picked the snow lotus and put it aside for later use. Then she began to make the elixir. She was making an elixir that could change blood. The recipe was very simple, but fox blood was rare. Fortunately, she found a box of celestial fox blood in the corner of the space warehouse.

I don't know who took it, but now it is mine in my space. Therefore, Ji Xiao used the blood of the sky fox and other rare treasures she found in the polar regions to refine a pill to purify her blood.

After refining it, Ji Xiao rested for a while. After adjusting her condition, she came to the center of the polar hurricane and swallowed the pill in her hand along with the snow lotus.

It took Ji Xiao half a year to completely absorb the energy contained in the snow lotus, and then another half a year to absorb the medicinal properties of the elixir. It took Ji Xiao nearly a hundred years to absorb the last bit of the sky fox blood.

In addition, there are the inherited memories in the blood. It took Ji Xiao a hundred years to learn them all after she woke up from the center of the polar region.

In a place with bitter snow and hurricanes all year round, there appeared purple-collared lightning and wildfires that had never happened in this world before. They struck for a whole year and burned for another year.

Ji Xiao, who was in the middle, had no intact spot on her body. Her hair was bald here and there, and she had completely turned into a shaggy fox.

Fortunately, she finally grew nine golden tails, and then the Tushan clan in this world had records of the celestial fox.

The nine-tailed fox bloodline itself is relatively rare, and the celestial fox will be even rarer, because the birth of the next celestial fox means the demise of the previous one.

Even so, even if Ji Xiao transformed into a human form, he would only look like a seven or eight-year-old human child. Therefore, Ji Xiao continued to practice in the center of the polar region for several thousand years.

Because, the purer the bloodline, the longer it will take to reach adulthood. Ji Xiao did not reach adulthood until she was five thousand years old. At that time, her human body was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

After the transformation, Ji Xiao's facial features became more refined and perfect, and her temperament became more extraordinary, but there was also a feeling of coldness surrounding her.

There was no other way around it. She had been practicing alone in this extremely cold place for thousands of years, just to have the power to protect herself when she got out.

The polar region itself is far away from the place where humans, gods and demons live together, so no one noticed the strange phenomena caused by Ji Xiao's blood purification and transformation. During that time, all the animals living in the inner part of the polar region ran to the periphery.

However, no one lives here, let alone knows about it.

When Ji Xiao was about to leave the polar region to travel, she went to the cave where she used to live and looked at the thousand-year-old snow lotus that had developed intelligence. Now more than five thousand years have passed, and no one knows what happened to the snow lotus.

When Ji Xiao went there, she found that the snow lotus could not transform yet, and even communication was not possible, so she just set up a spirit gathering array and a defense array around the cave and left.

After leaving the polar region, Ji Xiao took out the lotus RV from the space. The four spirit horses were still pulling the RV. She didn't know what to do, so she let the horses find their own way.

The man and four horses didn't know the way, nor did they know where the next destination would be. Ji Xiao didn't ask the only person who had a map, Yun Duo.

We walked and stopped along the way, not knowing what time it was or where we were, but it was not a populated place.

At this time, Ji Xiao asked Yun Duo, "What is my current situation? Why did I turn into a fox as soon as I arrived?"

"I really didn't know this time. By the time I realized it, you had already turned into a fox."

"That's fine. It's not a big deal anyway. Just leave it at that. Keep an eye on the source of polar regions that I collected. When it reaches a certain size, remember to plant the snow lotus."

"Okay." After that, Ji Xiao disconnected from Yun Duo and picked up a book to read.

It was unknown how long they had been walking before the horses stopped in front of a mountain stream. Ji Xiao took out a robot that looked similar to a human from the space.

"You will be called Xiaohong from now on. Now go hunting and come back to cook." Then, Ji Xiao handed her a storage bag and said, "You can use this storage bag to store things in the future."

"Okay, master." Xiaohong reached out and took the storage bag that Ji Xiao gave her, then turned and left to go hunting in the mountains.

Half an hour later, Xiaohong came back. In her left hand was a basket filled with wild vegetables and a huge egg. In her right hand was a huge wild beast.

"Master, I just found this egg in a swamp on the mountain. After scanning it, it seems to have life inside, but I didn't find any traces of a large female beast."

"Give it to me, you go make a fire and cook."

"Okay." Xiaohong put down the things in her hands, went to build a stove, light a fire, boil water, and then took the prey to the stream to deal with it.

Ji Xiao put down the book in her hand and walked out. She used magic to suspend the egg in the air, cast two cleansing spells, then took out a towel and fetched a ball of water from a stream in the distance.

She put the egg into the water, picked up a towel and started to bathe the whole egg. After washing it clean, Ji Xiao used her spiritual sense to check what the creature in the egg was.

After she saw clearly what the creature inside the eggshell looked like, Ji Xiao asked Yun Duo with an incredulous look on her face.

"Is this floppy thing the nine-headed snake mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Xiang Yao?"

"Yes, that's the thing. But this is much weaker than it."

"Okay, I get it." It's obvious that this is something without any inheritance, so it's so weak.

After confirming that it was Xiangliu, Ji Xiao used magic to set up a warm and humid incubation pool for it. Then he took a three-hundred-year-old snow lotus, refined it, and wrapped the entire egg.

After that, Ji Xiao placed the egg in the shade of the southwest corner of the living room, because egg-laying creatures generally prefer warm and humid places, and snakes like dark and humid places.

Xiangliu's consciousness in the egg has always been vague, because there is no elder to protect him and use rare treasures to improve his physical fitness. As a result, he has been in the egg for more than a hundred years and is still unable to be born. It has only recently gradually developed consciousness.

Afterwards, under Ji Xiao's operation, Xiangliu felt his body surrounded by an unknown liquid, which was very comfortable. This caused his already unstable consciousness to become drowsy.

Ji Xiao used her spiritual sense to watch it fall into a deep sleep, and after slowly absorbing the energy of the snow lotus into the eggshell, she no longer cared about it.
