Chapter 23: Discussing Conditions

  Look down again, it's actually a fox, a three-tailed fox!! No, Wentai can clearly see that at the base of the three tails of this giant golden fox, they are all covered in fresh blood. It's flowing all over the ground, if it weren't for the heavy rain constantly washing it away, I'm afraid the surrounding area would already be a bloody mess.

  Six wounds, plus the three tails... Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. Gu Han's master had once said that among the mountains of Shu, there were several ferocious demon tribes, including the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox tribe, which was one of the few demon tribes that had a chance to survive the heavenly tribulation.

  Yao, originally inferior to humans, but in the Shu Mountains, their vast numbers far surpass those of cultivators. With a larger base, they also possess great power, only their success rate in transcending the Heavenly Tribulation is much lower than that of cultivators.

  Don't think too much, remember what Gu Han Shifu once said, the nine-tailed heavenly fox cultivates three tails equivalent to a human golden elixir period master, after passing the small heavenly tribulation and having four tails, can reach the yuan ying period master, can truly transform into human form.

  What's going on again? It seems like nine tails had six cut off and were left with three, now they're going to cross the tribulation, strange!!

  At this moment, the giant golden fox that was crawling there slowly got up. The nine-tailed heavenly fox was only about two stories high, and its body wasn't as tall as its huge tail.

  Suddenly, this nine-tailed celestial fox raised its head and looked towards Wentao's side, its body suddenly moved.

  Not good, Wén Tāo made a quick flip to the side and fell, but the nine-tailed celestial fox's speed was even faster. Its body, which had been charging upwards, made a turn in mid-air and landed on the ground one step ahead of Wén Tāo.

  I knew watching the excitement was no good, now I've gotten into trouble. The enormous body of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox moved to that place, its aura shocking and intimidating.

  Unfortunately, Wén Tāo was used to big scenes and wasn't fazed by a nine-tailed celestial fox who was about to cross a small heavenly calamity, treating it with equanimity.

  "Really sorry, I'm just passing by and took a look, disturbing you." Wentao smiled and cupped his hands, without any fear.

  The nine-tailed celestial fox, whose eyes were blazing with anger and had already raised its claws to reveal a murderous intent, was stunned by Wentai's behavior. This person was just an ordinary human being, yet he didn't show any surprise when he saw the fox, but instead remained calm.

  "You say you're just passing by, do you think I'll believe such a deceitful trick? Tell me, who are you?" A voice that was infinitely charming and made one's imagination run wild, charming to the bone.

  Wen Tao suddenly felt a dizziness in his mind, and instantly he was as if falling into that infinite gentleness. The voice had an irresistible charm, and all sorts of fantasies appeared. Just as Wen Tao was about to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly became alert in his heart, no... this is a fantasy. As his spirit became alert, his body rapidly activated the Ling Gathering Cloak, and a burst of spiritual energy scattered from Wen Tao's body.

  "...burst..." was like a dream bubble being poked, and Wentao instantly woke up.

  The whole person trembled, knowing that he had almost been bewitched, and indeed it was a race born with the power to charm people's hearts, an ordinary sentence had such great power.

  "Ah………" Seeing Wén Tāo was not affected by her charm, Jiǔwěi Tiān Hú was also very surprised.

  "Hmph!" Wēn Tāo's original smile disappeared, and he coldly snorted at the nine-tailed heavenly fox: "You had murderous intentions towards me just now, but you didn't say anything. Now, you're using your enchanting voice to confuse me. Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, you're only in the late Golden Core stage, and you're about to trigger a minor heavenly tribulation. How dare you be so reckless? I think you really don't want to live."

  The nine-tailed heavenly fox was shocked, never expecting that this ordinary human not only called out to her but also resisted her enchanting voice. Although she said that her powers had decreased severely now, he was just an ordinary person after all!!!!!

  "I didn't mean to disturb you, but I did anyway. Let's just forget about the killing intent and seduction from earlier. You'd better focus on surviving your heavenly tribulation; with injuries as severe as yours, this small heavenly tribulation may not be powerful, but you're not necessarily going to make it through either. Take care of yourself." Wēn Tài didn't want to entangle himself with her anymore and turned to leave.

  "Slow down... Bang......" As soon as Wentai moved, the nine-tailed heavenly fox's tail slammed in front of him, smashing out a huge pit.

  Wen Tao stopped in his tracks, gradually beginning to concentrate all his strength, slowly turning around to face the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox once again. When it came time to fight, Wen Tao was never afraid.

  The nine-tailed celestial fox was cautious and asked Wentai: "You are not an ordinary human being. Who sent you?"

  Wen Tao said proudly: "I come when I want to come, and leave when I want to leave. Why should others arrange for me?"

  "If you don't tell the truth today, I'll have no choice but to kill you. Since you know so much, you should also know that killing you wouldn't require any effort from me." The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox began to threaten.

  "Haha......" Wentao showed no fear, smiling calmly: "Kill me? I dare to stand here so lightly now. Do you think I don't have the ability to protect myself? Most importantly..."

  Wen Tao pointed at the dark clouds gathering, with lightning flashing faintly, as if about to strike down. "The heavenly tribulation will be coming soon, and with your current injuries, saying you'll survive nine out of ten times is being optimistic. The tribulation will kill you for sure, and if you try to force your true essence, it will only hasten the arrival of the tribulation, making yourself die even faster."

  Wen Tao's words were unrefutable to Jiuweitian Hu.

  "My life and death don't need a lowly ordinary person like you to evaluate. Even if I were to die, I could easily kill you."

  Harsh words aren't harsh, facing death makes everyone's heart timid. Wentai secretly smiled to himself, and was even more determined to deal with her. At such a close distance, especially for this small heavenly calamity, Wentai's senses were even more sensitive than the nine-tailed heavenly fox that triggered the calamity. The heavenly calamity had already been brewing, and would come down between words. Although he had his last resort of a protective treasure and wasn't afraid of this heavily injured nine-tailed heavenly fox, there was no need to use it when it wasn't necessary - life-saving things should be kept in reserve first.

  It's unlikely that he can leave even if he wants to, and staying would only allow the nine-tailed heavenly fox to take advantage of him. Wēn Tāo is thinking about how to gain more benefits. The little Heavenly Tribulation is now extremely attractive to Wēn Tāo, because that feeling makes him not want to leave at all.

  All the cultivators I've met before were going through the Great Tribulation, this is my first time meeting someone who's going through the Small Tribulation. Those who go through the Great Tribulation ascend to heaven as soon as they pass it, but those who go through the Small Tribulation are different. At this moment, Wentai remembered Guhan Shifu's evaluation of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox: they were born with the ability to influence people's hearts and charm them, and they also had an extremely sensitive ability to detect all kinds of treasures and medicines.

  "That's what you think, if you really dare to lay a hand on me, I can responsibly tell you that you will suffer ten thousand times more than dying in the Small Sky Calamity." Wen Tao naturally wouldn't let her intimidate him, and was even more fierce, saying without giving her a chance to retort: "The Small Sky Calamity is coming down, no need to waste words with you. As a doctor, I can help you get through the Small Sky Calamity, but first, let me tell you, the medical fee isn't cheap."

  "Can you help me through the heavenly tribulation?" The drowning person would not let go even if they grabbed a straw, let alone the nine-tailed celestial fox who had cultivated for nearly two thousand years. Although she didn't believe that this ordinary person could help her get through the heavenly tribulation, the expectant and pleading gaze had already been exposed without a doubt.

  The heavenly thunder is almost formed, Wen Tao shouted: "Now you only have thirty seconds to take out a satisfactory diagnosis fee, help you through the heavenly calamity, otherwise you can prepare to welcome death."

  When all hope seems lost, people will believe in things that they normally think are impossible.

  The nine-tailed heavenly fox was in a difficult situation and said: "Before, in order to pass the heavenly tribulation, I consumed all of my accumulated energy from over a thousand years, and then suffered heavy injuries from an enemy's sneak attack... even the storage ring on my body was destroyed..."

  Actually, there was no need for him to say it, but Wēn Tāo had already seen her miserable state and estimated that it would not be possible to get good things immediately. However, when he heard him say that all the accumulated things of thousands of years were used during the Tianjie, Wēn Tāo felt a little heartache, what a pity! What a waste!!

  Time waits for no man, and Wen Tao quickly said: "Although you don't have the money to pay now, I won't push you away like some other unscrupulous doctors. However, the medical expenses still need to be paid, but we can be flexible with the payment method, such as using your own..."

  "Roooooar......" The enraged Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox swept three of its tails across the ground simultaneously, producing a massive rumbling sound. Fortunately, Wēn Tāo had given her hope, so she didn't attack immediately. In anger, she said: "Human, how could my Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan be compared to other demonic beast clans? You think I'd become your spiritual beast? Not even in death would that be possible."

  Spirit beast, a cultivator collects some demon beasts as tools or laborers and thoroughly subjugates them through a soul oath.

  The number of nine-tailed heavenly fox clans is not small, but those who can truly reach the nine-tailed realm are all possessors of pure ancient bloodlines. If it's the imperial bloodline of the nine-tailed heavenly fox, it's even more precious than that of dragons and phoenixes. However, Wēn Tāo's goal isn't this, and there's no time to talk too much about it either.

  "I did say I'd take you as a spiritual beast, didn't I!" In fact, Wēn Tāo knew in his heart that even if he agreed, he currently had no way of taking her on. He lacked true yuan energy and couldn't use the soul oath. So Wēn Tāo said magnanimously: "Your nine-tailed heavenly fox may be formidable, but to me, you're nothing special. If it weren't for your current injuries making you a patient, I as a doctor wouldn't be able to ignore you. Even if you begged me to take you on as a spiritual beast, I'd be too lazy to want you. To get straight to the point, I'll help you survive this minor heavenly tribulation, and in return, you'll serve me for 100 years. After 100 years, you'll regain your freedom. During these 100 years, just lend me a hand, mainly helping me collect some medicinal herbs from the True Cultivation Realm. This is something that nine-tailed heavenly foxes like you are skilled at. Use this as payment in exchange for sparing your life."

  The Heavenly Doctor's journey will become more and more wonderful! To help the doctor overcome his tribulations, everyone is using their monthly tickets to support him!!!
