After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 71 Come on, Xiao Jin, let me touch you and take a look.

Ye Xiaobai and Li Xinyan successfully captured the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, and the problem of the spiritual veins was completely resolved.

Zhou Liang and Gao Bo were both deeply impressed by Li Xinyan and Ye Xiaobai's ability to solve the mine problem in such a short time.

Afterwards, Li Xinyan returned to her resting place near the mine to prepare to set up a soul restriction on the spirit fox, so that she could have full control over a third-tier demon beast.

Currently, the spirit fox has exhausted its spiritual energy within the formation and has been controlled by Li Xinyan using a simple binding technique.

Ye Xiaobai also arrived at Li Xinyan's resting spot, intending to help Li Xinyan control the spirit fox so that she could better set up the soul restriction.

"Senior sister, how's it going? Are you ready?" Ye Xiaobai asked first.

"Ready? Let's begin!"

Then Li Xinyan took out the spirit fox and placed it on the ground. Seeing that the restriction on its body was still there, Li Xinyan didn't pay much attention to it.

After being released, the spirit fox looked listless, as if it had suffered a lot of damage in the formation.

"Senior sister, this spirit fox seems a bit weak?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.

"It's alright. After we finish setting up the restrictions, we'll give it some good food to help it recover," Li Xinyan said calmly.

"Then let's get started!"

Then, Ye Xiaobai used his spiritual power to control the spirit fox's body, while Li Xinyan began to use her divine sense to set up a restriction in the spirit fox's mind.

As soon as Ye Xiaobai channeled his spiritual power into the spirit fox, the spirit fox began to struggle desperately.

"Control the spirit fox and don't let it move around!" Li Xinyan shouted.

He then began to control his divine sense to prepare to set up a restriction.

When Li Xinyan focused her attention on the fox, she noticed the fox's aggrieved and pained expression. Faced with such a cute yet pitiful fox, Li Xinyan hesitated for a moment.

"Senior sister, why did you stop?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.

Upon hearing Ye Xiaobai's voice, Li Xinyan snapped out of her daze and focused her mind once again, beginning to control her divine sense to approach the spirit fox's mind.

As Li Xinyan's consciousness entered the spirit fox's mind, she once again felt the intense emotions of helplessness and fear surging forth from the spirit fox's mind.

At the same time, the fox kept letting out mournful and sorrowful cries. This time, Li Xinyan's heart softened completely, and she could no longer bear to forcibly control the poor fox.

“I feel that I have some kind of inexplicable affinity with this spirit fox, so I won’t set up a soul restriction to forcibly control it. I plan to raise it with me first and slowly cultivate our relationship. Junior brother, what do you think?” Li Xinyan said slowly.

"That's good too. Speaking of which, there is indeed a strange familiarity between this spirit fox and my senior sister." Ye Xiaobai also felt it was strange, perhaps it was fate.

"Senior sister, look! This spirit fox can understand what we're saying. It knows we're going to abandon the soul restriction, and it's even started crouching down, as if it's begging you, senior sister!"

"Yes, as expected of a third-tier demon beast, its intelligence is already quite high!" Li Xinyan said happily.

Then she began to gently stroke the fox's head with her hand. Unexpectedly, the fox immediately became docile, laying its tail flat on the ground and rubbing its head vigorously against Li Xinyan's palm.

"Wow, this fox's fur is so soft and smooth! It feels so good to touch! I'll call you Little Gold from now on!" Li Xinyan said excitedly.

"Come here, Xiao Jin, let me touch it and see." Ye Xiaobai said excitedly. Hearing Li Xinyan say that the fox's fur felt comfortable to touch, Ye Xiaobai immediately reached out to touch the fox's head.

As soon as Ye Xiaobai's hand approached the spirit fox's head, the spirit fox immediately showed a look of disgust and then turned its head to the side, avoiding Ye Xiaobai's hand.

Ye Xiaobai still wouldn't give up. "Can't I touch what Li Xinyan touched?"

He tried several more times, but the fox dodged each time, its tail standing up and hissing as if trying to drive Ye Xiaobai away.

"Hahaha!" Li Xinyan burst into laughter.

"Junior brother, you should give up. This spirit fox might dislike you, that's why it won't let you touch it!"

"I only hit it a few times when I caught it, is that enough to warrant such a temper? It won't even let me touch it?" Ye Xiaobai said helplessly.

"Who told you to hit it back then!" Li Xinyan mocked, while enjoying the fox's affectionate behavior.

"Wasn't it all for my senior sister's sake that I caught it? How come it's all my fault now?"

"I told you to catch it, not to hit it! Right?" Li Xinran said, glancing at the spirit fox.

The fox seemed to understand, and actually nodded in agreement.

"Look, even the spirit fox is nodding in agreement with what I said!" Li Xinyan said excitedly.

"That vengeful fox spirit!" Ye Xiaobai muttered to himself.

"Could this fox be a male? Or a lustful one?" Ye Xiaobai guessed wildly.

"Junior brother, what are you saying?"

"Just kidding, I have some pills here that can help you improve your cultivation. Do you want them?" Ye Xiaobai tried to win the spirit fox's favor by offering her some pills.

Upon hearing Ye Xiaobai's words, the spirit fox gave him a disdainful look and turned its head away.

"Hahaha!"

"By the way, junior brother, do you really have any pills suitable for demonic beasts to cultivate with?" Li Xinyan asked curiously.

"Yes, I bought it at the market not long ago. It cost me tens of thousands of spirit stones for the pill formula!" Ye Xiaobai emphasized as he looked at the spirit fox, but the spirit fox remained unmoved.

"Junior brother, have you refined it yet?" Li Xinyan asked anxiously, thinking that if she had, she could give some to the spirit fox now and cultivate their relationship.

"Not yet, I haven't bought all the spiritual herbs needed for refining it!" Ye Xiaobai explained.

"I see. When are you going to buy it?"

"Shall I go now?" Ye Xiaobai asked, still unwilling to give up.

"Okay, okay! Shall I see you off?"

"Alright, since Senior Sister said so, I'll go to the market right away to buy all the spirit herbs!" Ye Xiaobai said helplessly. There wasn't anything particularly urgent right now, so collecting some spirit herbs was a good idea.

Afterwards, Li Xinyan escorted Ye Xiaobai out of the resting place.

Just as Ye Xiaobai stepped out of the room and was waving goodbye, a golden flash suddenly shot out of Li Xinyan's room and sped away into the distance.

"Little Jin!" Li Xinyan shouted loudly as she watched the departing spirit fox.

At this moment, Ye Xiaobai realized that the spirit fox had escaped, so he immediately flew away on his sword and chased after it, with Li Xinyan following closely behind.

Half an hour later, the spirit fox disappeared into a forest.

"What a cunning fox!" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed.

"It was so well-behaved and obedient when it was with me just now, how could it have slipped away so quickly?" Li Xinyan asked in disbelief.

"This fox spirit is so good at disguising itself! It's really good at playing the victim and deceiving people!" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed again.

"This spirit fox is really cunning! It tricked me completely. Next time I'll definitely use a soul restriction to control it! I just don't know if I'll ever encounter such a cute spirit fox again."

"I have a feeling we'll meet again!" Ye Xiaobai said with inexplicable confidence.
