Chapter Thirty-Nine: The First Great Magical Artifact

  "Huh, is this Fox Spirit Grass?"

  The old man with grey hair let out a cry of surprise and crouched down, using both hands to brush away the snow on the ground, revealing these strange plants in the snowy land.

  All that can be seen is that the plant is fiery red, just like a fox's pointed ears, paired with white snow in one place, it's quite strange. If you don't look carefully, you'd think it's a group of foxes buried underground, only exposing two ears.

  The white snow is an ice layer, and the fox fairy grass grows in the water pool under the ice layer, with a total length of ten meters, only a very small part of it is exposed outside.

  Su Dong also squatted down, using his fingers to test the ice surface, and said: "Now it's already June, this ice is not as solid as in winter, we need to be careful, in case the ice layer cracks open, we'll become a laughing stock."

  The old man with grey feathers had sparkling eyes and exclaimed excitedly, "If that's really the case, then it would be even better! The Fox Fairy Grass matures in July, which is exactly when the ice layer on the mountain top becomes unstable. If I were to fall down, I could get my hands on this large batch of matured Fox Fairy Grass!"

  Su Dong asked curiously: "Is this aquatic plant very precious?"

  The lone wolf king, Gou Ling, had already returned to the corridor. He was much more robust than Su Dong and Hui Yu, so he was even more cautious.

  Gu Ling sighed and said, "The Fox Fairy Grass is also called the Treasure of the Fox Clan. For both the Spiritual Beast Clan and you humans, it's a rare treasure that can enhance the penetrability of spiritual power, strengthen the body's control over spiritual power, and even regulate the digestive system."

  "This place should be the forbidden land where the White Spirit tribe planted the Fox Fairy Grass, but unfortunately the White Spirit tribe is no more, and the forbidden land will soon become a wasteland."

  Su Dong found that Gu Ling, this lone wolf, actually had a faint sadness, really a strange old wolf.

  With a faint smile, Su Dong said: "Anyway, this White Head Mountain has been abandoned. Why don't we take away these Fox Spirit Grasses? At worst, when we meet the old and young of the White Spirit Clan again in the future, we'll deal with them properly. It's really a waste to leave it here."

  Gu Ling shook his head and said, "I don't have time for this. Fox Spirit Grass is a precious spiritual medicine, ranked among the top four products of high quality, but it's very fragile and likes cool environments. It'll take about another month for these Fox Spirit Grass to mature. Besides, even if they do mature, there's no way to bring them down the mountain. The heat at the foot of the mountain is too intense, and the Fox Spirit Grass will rot in just a few days."

  The old man with grey feathers also felt a bit regretful and let out a long sigh.

  "If you can't take it away, then just eat it. Eat as much as you can, it's better than wasting it."

  Gu Ling shook his head and turned around to leave, saying: "Nowadays, there may be a traitor among my clansmen, how can I feel at ease staying here?"

  One man and two beasts retreated back to the grand hall of the White Spirit clan. The Chinese attach importance to settling down, so Su Dong didn't say a word and started cleaning up the corpses of these White Fox tribe members, burying the pitifully dead little foxes.

  Gu Ling and Hui Yu were both stunned for a moment before they quickly lent a hand to help Su Dong, their eyes revealing a hint of emotion.

  Su Dong was indeed different from other humans, he did not reject the spiritual beasts and instead showed great respect, which was noticed and remembered by the Wolf King and Eagle King.

  Soon, the corpses on Whitehead Mountain were carefully buried by the three of them. Gu Ling patted the dirt off his hands and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving soon, Su Dong, do you have anything to say about the traitor among our people?"

  It had only been a few days since they met, but Gu Leng had already developed trust in Su Dong, to the point where he wanted to ask for his opinion on internal affairs of the Wolf Clan. After all, Su Dong's analytical abilities, which he had demonstrated at White Head Mountain, were truly remarkable, earning the admiration of both Gu Leng and Hui Yu.

  "Let's do our best, these guys can think of disguising themselves as snow demons and even deceive you, the wolf king, with their breath, which means they must have planned it long ago and may have been instructed by a mastermind."

  "We can't just sit back and do nothing, can we? Our wolf tribe has never shown mercy to traitors." Gu Ling said somewhat anxiously.

  Su Dong smiled and said, "Actually, you're making a big show of going back to catch the traitors, but it's possible that you've fallen into someone else's trap. If the enemy can tempt your clansmen, they might also have included you in their list of people to deal with."

  "So my advice is to remain unchanged and adapt to all changes. After you return, don't rush to determine who the traitor is, but first confirm who your friends are. Protect those loyal friends of yours well and don't let yourself suffer any more losses. As long as you continue to grow stronger, your enemies will have no way to deal with you."

  Gu Ling suddenly paused, as if he had an epiphany.

  He nodded slightly and said, "What you said is not wrong. I have many tribesmen under my command, and it's not easy to find a group of traitors. If I were to interrogate each of them individually, it might even cause them to rebel and stir up chaos throughout the entire wolf tribe."

  "So that's why I said to use the unchanging to respond to the changing. As long as you don't stir up trouble yourself, who can disturb you? As for the traitor, it will eventually come to light."

  Gu Ling listened and burst out laughing, his fingers lightly wiping the star ring, returning a golden whistle with a wolf head engraved on it to Su Dong. He said: "This time Bai Tou Shan was not in vain, I made friends with you, this strange human! This is our Wolf Clan's wolf whistle, when you need help, blow it! My clansmen nearby will come immediately."

  Su Dong caught the whistle given by Gu Leng and bowed his hands saying: "Thanks!"

  As Lone Ridge departed, Grey Wing patted Su Dong's shoulder and said: "It seems that the lone wolf quite likes you. This isn't an ordinary wolf whistle, but a golden wolf whistle of the Spirit Wolf Royal Family! With this, on the Forgotten Continent, you can basically come and go as you please."

  "So powerful?" Su Dong asked curiously.

  Huī Yǔ said disapprovingly, "What do you think? On this continent, how much land do humans occupy? Outside of your cities, it's the realm of our spiritual beasts! Especially the wolf tribe, they are the most numerous among the eight great beast tribes. As long as you have a need, they can assemble an army in an instant and sweep everything before them!"

  ……

  Gu Ling left, but Su Dong and Hui Yu stayed on at White Head Mountain, facing a large expanse of the precious Fox Spirit Grass that was so valuable to the fox tribe. Neither Hui Yu nor Su Dong were willing to miss out on this free feast.

  When the season of harvesting Fox Spirit Grass arrived, Su Dong and Hui Yu could finally eat to their heart's content. This Fox Spirit Grass was a precious fourth-grade spiritual medicine that had great benefits for both body and cultivation. The thought of consuming large quantities of this fourth-grade spiritual medicine in a short period of time made Su Dong wonder what kind of changes would occur.

  Days are passing by, the weather on White Head Mountain is getting hotter and hotter, and the Fox Fairy Grass is getting closer and closer to maturity. Su Dong suddenly had an idea, using two magic instruments to set up a formation at the edge of the water pool, accelerating the growth of the Fox Fairy Grass. Old Man Huiyu doesn't understand this stuff, he's busy catching reindeer, roasting reindeer, and boiling reindeer every day.

  In this way, Hui Yu became a scourge of the White Head Mountain, and a large group of domesticated deer were eaten by Hui Yu in one breath.

  Su Dong found that Hui Yu's infatuation with meat was simply abnormal, and the fox spirit grass was a plant. When it came to harvest time, Hui Yu might not be able to tolerate the blandness of plant-based food, and in the end, he would probably be the one who benefited the most.

  In the mountain cave, Su Dong was concentrating on forging his first major magic weapon. The Qimen magic weapon was the most powerful, and once this piece of mother jade was cultivated, it could destroy bones!

  Moreover, with a master like Gray Feather Old Man to back him up, Su Dong could hardly think of any better conditions for himself to cultivate in. With the Eagle King, one of the Eight Great Beast Kings, guarding the pass for him, this was what you'd call being absolutely safe! This was also one of the reasons why Su Dong had insisted on staying behind.

  The mother jade in Su Dong's hand gradually changed, and the Gongfa of Longjia Eight Gates took effect on this piece of mother jade, quietly changing its nature.

  Things born of nature are closer to nature itself. What Su Dong needs to do is to assimilate it, make it a part of himself and listen to his own command.

  Sudong's hand held that piece of black jade mother, becoming brighter and brighter, as if it was about to burn, emitting a pink glow from within.

  The light grew brighter and brighter, enveloping the mountain cave where the fox tribe lived in a pink glow. Even the temperature of the cave gradually rose.

  Su Dong's two hands tightly pressed against the mother jade, his face covered in sweat.

  Bang!

  A strong light flashed by! And Su Dong's mother jade in his hand also returned to silence.

  No, this is not a decline, but rather the Qimen Dafa has reached its peak!

  Su Dong's first set of supreme law enforcement instruments, a complete set of seven jade stones!

  Success!
