Others were also surprised, they did not expect to meet a fellow sect member, even though it was an outer sect disciple that they usually looked down upon.
Wei Dawu and Huangfu Yao recognized Xu Chunniang. They were very shocked, but they didn't say anything more.
Zhao Mingren came back to his senses, with a smile on his face.
Although I don’t know why a mere outer disciple at the fifth level of Qi training would appear here alone, this is undoubtedly good news for everyone.
"Since Junior Sister Xu is one of our own, I won't be polite."
Zhao Mingren explained the purpose of his visit in just a few words, "We were originally on a sect mission. Several junior brothers and sisters were seriously injured by a sneak attack by the demon fox. They are in urgent need of medical treatment, so I rashly disturbed them and asked Junior Sister Xu for my convenience."
Xu Chunniang's eyes fell on the injured people and she felt enlightened.
She took a step back and said very wisely, "I have just arrived here not long ago. Brothers and sisters, please come in."
After Huangfu Yao took out the high-grade concealment formation and deployed it again, the group entered the cave.
In order to save his brother Zhong Wei, Zhong Sheng took a trick from the demon fox and was seriously injured.
Zhao Mingren's retainer Wei Qingqing and Wei Dawu's retainer Xie Lian were also seriously injured.
Others had more or less minor injuries, which were not serious.
After the injuries of Zhong Sheng and the others were brought under control, the tense atmosphere gradually eased.
Zhao Mingren looked at Xu Chunniang, an inconspicuous outer disciple, and asked, "Why are you here alone?"
With Xu Chunniang's cultivation at the fifth level of qi training, it is indeed a bit strange to appear here alone.
Xu Chunniang had already thought about how to answer.
"I teamed up with some casual cultivators to go into the mountains, but not long after we entered, we encountered a thunderbird riot. Everyone fled in all directions, and I escaped into the Red Fox Valley by accident, relying on the middle-grade concealment formation.
I have been hiding here for several days."
Everyone suddenly realized that they had encountered a group of vicious birds.
If it were not for the high-grade concealment formation, their fate would not be much better than that of Xu Chunniang.
Qi Haozhi's eyes flashed slightly, "But these injuries on your body were clearly caused by the demon fox. And if I guessed correctly, this cave must have been inhabited by demon foxes before."
There is a very obvious smell of demon fox in the cave, which means that there was a demon fox here not long ago.
"This lair was originally a demon fox cave on the fifth level of Qi training. I spent a lot of effort but couldn't kill it, so I could only drive it away. These injuries on my body were caused by it."
Most of what Xu Chunniang said was true, she only lowered the demon fox's cultivation level.
Although there are few demon foxes at the fifth level of Qi training in the Red Fox Valley, they are not absent.
Anyway, the demon fox's cultivation level cannot be seen from the injuries.
No one doubted what Xu Chunniang said, they just felt that this outer disciple was not unlucky.
Being able to save one's life from the Thunderbird's claws and breaking into the Red Fox Valley without encountering a powerful demon fox is considered a lucky one.
Zhao Mingren threw a medicine bottle to Xu Chunniang, "These are three high-grade healing elixirs. They are our reward for borrowing the cave. We will leave in three days."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Xu Chunniang's reaction.
If she was telling the truth, she would definitely take the opportunity to make a request and leave with them.
If she didn't make a request, then what she said before may not be credible.
Xu Chunniang took the medicine bottle with a hint of joy on her face.
After a slight hesitation, she handed over the medicine bottle, refusing to accept it.
"Senior Brother Zhao, we are from the same sect. It is natural to lend the cave. Besides... I still have something to ask you for help."
"What's up?"
"I want to go with you. My cultivation level is low. If I stay here alone in the Red Fox Valley, I will be buried in the belly of a vicious beast sooner or later."
As if she was afraid of being rejected, Xu Chunniang added quickly, "I promise, I won't hold you back!"
The last doubt in Zhao Mingren's heart was finally dispelled, and there was a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, since you are a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, how can I ignore it. As for these pills, just keep them."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao!"
Xu Chunniang's eyes lit up and she put the medicine bottle away with a smile.
Knowing that Zhao Mingren has passed this test, he has passed it now.
It was undoubtedly very inconvenient to follow this group of inner disciples, and it even affected her original plan.
But there was nothing we could do about it. Who would have thought that such a huge Hundred Demons Mountain Range would collide with them.
If you want to keep the secret of your own cultivation, you can only do this.
"How can there be a mouse here!!"
An exclamation interrupted Xu Chunniang's meditation. She quickly looked over and saw the monk named Xiao Qingyu, who was very frightened by Xiao Hei in the corner.
"Isn't it just a mouse? What a big deal!"
Xie Lian had never been accustomed to Xiao Qingyu, and when she saw him yelling and screaming because of a third-level qi-training burrowing rat, she spoke angrily.
If she hadn't been injured and needed to recuperate, she could easily kill this burrowing rat with just one spell.
Just after saying this, Xie Lian received a cold gaze, it was Chu Chan'er!
Her face, which was originally pale due to injury, suddenly turned even paler.
Xie Lian secretly regretted that she was greedy for a moment of quick talk, but she forgot that Chu Chan'er was very protective of her shortcomings.
Before anyone could take action, Xu Chunniang hurriedly said, "This mouse is my spiritual animal. I'm sorry to scare everyone."
Hearing Xu Chunniang's voice, Xiaobai hurried towards this side, ran to Xu Chunniang's feet, and jumped onto her shoulder.
"I actually raised a gopher as a spiritual beast. It's the first time I've seen it in such a long time."
Qi Haozhi sneered, the ugly girl really hasn't improved over the years, her vision is still so bad.
A trace of disgust flashed in Huangfu Yao's eyes, but she quickly calmed down her emotions.
She is a high-ranking inner sect disciple with a bright future in Dan Peak. She is completely different from this outer sect disciple. She has no reason to get angry over such a trivial matter.
The eyes of the others were somewhat strange. It was unheard of and unseen to raise a gopher as a spiritual beast.
Wei Dawu was even more speechless. He didn't expect that the little girl who was selected into the sect with him back then could be so confused.
When they met just now, he learned that she was already at the fifth level of Qi training and could still fight against the demon fox at the fifth level without losing. He was very pleased, thinking that she had been practicing diligently over the years and had never slacked off.
After all, Xie Lian, as his retinue, was only at the fifth level of Qi training, which was on par with Xu Chunniang.
But when I found out that she raised a gopher as a spiritual animal, I realized that she was not motivated.
How can such a person go far on the path of cultivation?
It was a waste of her fairly good Three Spiritual Root qualifications.
That's all, for the sake of being a fellow countryman, give her some support.
Wei Dawu sighed inwardly and walked to Xu Chunniang, "Go out for a walk? I have something to tell you."
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised, thinking that after rejecting his solicitation last time, Wei Dawu no longer wanted to pay attention to her.
Although she didn't know what Wei Dawu wanted to say to her, Xu Chunniang still followed him out.
After all, with the relationship between the two of them, he would never harm himself.
When other people saw this scene, they didn't show much curiosity.
If you want to live a long life in the world of cultivation, you should inquire less about other monks' private affairs.
Only Xie Lian looked at the direction in which the two were leaving, with a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes.
