Yun Jiuzi understands Li Hong very well.
When Li Hong returned to Nine Vermilion Peaks, Spirit Stone had just emerged from seclusion. Without a second thought, he handed over ten bottles of Cosmic Vitality Pill, just as Yun Jiuzi had said, distributing them to Chuxiong, Chu Xi, and the other nine. However, it was Spirit Stone who personally presented them, leaving one bottle for himself.
Spirit Stone praised Li Hong greatly and went out for an hour to deliver the Elixir to another branch. Upon returning, he immediately gathered Chuxiong, Chuxuan, and Chu Liang, not forgetting Chu Hai.
Chu Hai was extremely surprised and moved; he repeatedly bowed to Li Hong and tearfully took the first Cosmic Vitality Pill.
Spirit Stone smiled as he stroked his beard: "This is a great treasure. Make sure not to waste it. Your Sixth Senior Brother has put in countless efforts and worked with Yun Jiuzi for many days to refine this. You must enter seclusion and absorb all its medicinal power. You won't go astray again! Thank Old Six properly and hurry back to your seclusion."
Chuxiong and Chu Liang were the first to leave, but Chuxuan stood still, his hand holding the Cosmic Vitality Pill trembling slightly.
He fixed his gaze on Li Hong, his expression extremely complex—there was gratitude, fear, and curiosity. He suddenly asked, "Why did you even help me get one?"
Li Hong thought seriously for a moment and replied earnestly: "First, I am not someone who holds grudges. Second, I have said before that you are talented; as fellow disciples of the same lineage, I do not wish to see you in trouble. Thirdly, even if I owe you for your help in the Ancient Celestial Field, we will be even from now on."
Chuxuan remained silent for a long time before finally saying: "But I still owe you. Chu Hong, I hope you can forget past grievances. In the future, I will certainly respect you as my senior brother. If I go against this, not only will my master not forgive me, but I also cannot forgive myself!" Tears glimmered in his eyes as Chuxuan hurriedly lowered his head and walked out quickly.
Enemies should be resolved rather than deepened. Li Hong felt somewhat emotional; it was best to resolve grievances with Chuxuan. In truth, he mainly considered that Chuxuan deeply hated the Jin people, which gave him a new understanding of Chuxuan.
Spirit Stone watched Chuxuan's retreating figure and quietly gave Li Hong a thumbs up. The admiration in his gaze made Li Hong feel embarrassed. He quickly said: "Master, you should enter seclusion again; perhaps after taking it you can advance a level in cultivation. This way your arms will grow back sooner so we disciples won't feel uncomfortable looking at you."
"You little rascal are worrying about me! No rush; I have my own plans. Look at you all dirty like a monkey! Go wash up!" Spirit Stone laughed as he kicked lightly at Li Hong's leg but only brushed against it without putting any force behind it.
He couldn't bring himself to really kick.
Li Hong laughed exaggeratedly and flew out of the window like a gust of wind.
********
After Chuxiong took the Cosmic Vitality Pill, he began his seclusion while Li Hong stayed on the first floor to protect him. However, there was a companion by his side—the mysterious Golden Silk Cat.
Since returning home, the little cat had been placed in the Small Pavilion by Li Hong and hadn’t been kept close. It seemed that it had been sleeping soundly in the Small Pavilion these days; according to Chuxiong, it had been fed before but didn’t like fish—every time it just sniffed and walked away. Over these days it hadn’t eaten much at all but was still living quite well.
Li Hong gently scratched its smooth golden fur. The little creature comfortably squinted its eyes and even rolled over onto its back, exposing its four paws to allow Li Hong to softly scratch its soft chest. It looked adorable and charming.
Li Hong looked at the kitten and muttered to himself, "What exactly are you? Don't fool me; I never really believed you are just a kitten. Well, maybe you have your reasons, maybe you really don't like what the Ancient Celestial Field came up with, or maybe you are something else transformed. But none of that matters; what matters is that you have helped me and saved my master and Master Uncle. So in my heart, it doesn't matter what you are."
Hearing this, the kitten let out a soft "meow," its voice both cute and sweet.
A strange thought crossed Li Hong's mind as he hesitated and withdrew his hand. "You better not be a female demon!"
The kitten seemed to understand and oddly rolled its eyes at Li Hong.
Li Hong's heart skipped a beat, but he saw the kitten return to normal, nudging his hand, urging him to continue scratching it. He couldn't help but laugh. A kitten is just a kitten; how could it possibly be a female demon!
Li Hong continued to scratch the kitten's belly and said, "Let's give you a name; what should it be?"
"Call it Meow Meow!" a boisterous voice suddenly rang out.
Now it was Li Hong's turn to roll his eyes; who else could it be but Heavenly Torch!
"You aren't being fair! When you need me, you call out for help, but when I'm not needed, you cut off Divine Consciousness just like that. Heartless and ungrateful!" Heavenly Torch exclaimed.
Li Hong silently retorted in his heart, "Who told you to be so nagging and always going on about Bagua?"
"From your tone, I can tell you hold a grudge against me. Fine, fine, I won't hold it against you. Anyway, I can't go anywhere now; I’m counting on you. I'll just wait for the day I can make my comeback! By the way, this little cat was found in the Ancient Celestial Field, right? This little thing is Strange." Heavenly Torch's voice paused as Li Hong began to feel that unique energy wave emanating in circles, all aimed at the Golden Silk Cat.
Li Hong didn't interrupt him. He was also curious about Heavenly Torch's opinion on the kitten. It must be said that sometimes this old dragon still had some skills.
He had gradually gotten used to Heavenly Torch; although he wasn't sure if this old dragon was always just pretending to sleep—Heavenly Torch's acting skills were truly impressive. But he no longer cared about Heavenly Torch peeking at him all the time; he considered him just a friend who was always around.
After a while, Heavenly Torch finally stopped and hesitantly said, "Damn! There’s actually something I can't see through! But this little thing is definitely not a cat. Look closely; it has small flesh bumps under each armpit. I can tell you clearly that it will grow wings in the future. So tell me, have you ever seen a cat with wings that can fly?"
A flying cat! Li Hong suddenly became interested and reached his finger under the Golden Silk Cat's armpit to poke around. Sure enough, there were two flesh bumps the size of grains of rice on either side of its chubby armpits. The Golden Silk Cat was very sensitive about this area; as soon as Li Hong poked it, it immediately flipped over and lay down properly, squinting its eyes to observe Li Hong.
Li Hong felt as if the little cat was staring at his forehead, or rather at the Heavenly Torch within his Upper Dantian.
"Wow! What an extraordinary little cat! Look at its expression; it seems like it's staring right at me! This little cat is quite interesting. Take good care of it; who knows, one day it might transform. If it turns into a beautiful young lady, that would really be your luck!" Heavenly Torch cackled.
The little cat rolled its eyes again, resembling a human rolling their eyes, with a look of utter disdain. At this moment, both Li Hong and Heavenly Torch were certain that it could indeed hear and understand everything, even the telepathic communication between Heavenly Torch and Li Hong's Divine Consciousness.
Li Hong didn't mind this at all. He chuckled, "Right now, I can't even tell if it's male or female. How can you be so sure it's a female cat? Forget it; stop talking nonsense and go back to your big sleep and practice your way of sleep! I've decided that from today on, this little cat will be called Little Fei. Hmm, Little Fei, tell me what you like to eat, and I'll find a way to get it for you." Li Hong affectionately rubbed the soft fur on the little cat's head.
The little cat meowed softly and extended its pink tongue to lick Li Hong's palm repeatedly, showing a very affectionate demeanor.
Seeing its clingy behavior, Li Hong couldn't help but think of the two little ones he hadn't seen in a long time—Big Silver Ball and Small Silver Ball—who were said to possibly be ancient mythical beasts known as Mountain Pattern Armor.
It's been a while since I last saw them; I wonder how they are doing? I might as well bring them over too. After all, there's already one strange little cat here; having two Mountain Pattern Armors wouldn't be much of a problem. Besides, there's still a dragon in my Upper Dantian.
Li Hong realized that for some unknown reason, he had formed bonds with so many spirit beasts. Given the current situation, it seemed there would be even more to come.
Could it be because of the Six Spirit Salty Ritual? As he stroked Little Fei, Li Hong fell into deep thought.
