Chapter 138: Cultivating Fox Soul Beasts

"Elders, please be quiet. The purpose of this meeting is not to find new research subjects. I am currently stuck on this experiment and cannot proceed, which is truly frustrating. My goal this time is to cultivate the Six-Tailed Fox. This may be quite costly and requires the full support of the Spirit Hall. This is no longer a small, trivial matter."

"Jerry, look, even if you successfully cultivate a Six-Tailed Soul Beast now, the martial souls of these fox Soul Beasts will at most evolve to seven tails. I estimate that there isn't a single fox Soul Beast with eight or nine tails in the entire Star Dou Great Forest! Therefore, the end point of your experiment is seven tails. Compared to the current four tails, it's not much of a difference. Just stop it and switch to a different research subject!"

Sigh, hearing them say this, Jerry could not reveal the matter regarding Hu Liena. The ultimate goal was to enhance Hu Liena's martial soul, so that when she reached level ninety, she would have an inexhaustible supply of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings.

"No, this experiment cannot be stopped. I cannot state my ultimate goal right now, but it will definitely be beneficial to the Spirit Hall."

"This..."

Finally, under Jerry's forceful attitude, the proposal was passed during this meeting.

However, the group of Elders were all watching from the sidelines; if this experiment truly succeeded, they would have experience for researching other martial souls in the future.

Jerry directly built a courtyard in the Soul Beast Forest, intending to live there for a period of time.

Personnel from the Spirit Hall began to take action, driving the fox Soul Beasts scattered throughout the Soul Beast Forest to the vicinity of Jerry's residence.

Jerry inscribed a Defense Shield for the courtyard, so ordinary Soul Beasts really could not break in. He also dug a stream at the entrance of the courtyard and modified some areas nearby to be suitable for foxes to live in.

Jerry took a glance; the cultivation of these foxes was a bit low, and he didn't even see any that were ten thousand years old.

However, this was also fine, as it made it more convenient for Jerry to cultivate them.

Every day, Jerry would feed the foxes things they liked to eat in front of the courtyard. At first, many foxes didn't dare to come over to eat, but as time passed, after one gluttonous fox secretly ate once and found nothing happened, many foxes boldly came over to eat.

However, they would run away every time they saw Jerry. With Jerry's daily feeding, these foxes finally became bolder and were no longer afraid of Jerry. They would eat in front of Jerry and even take a nap in front of the courtyard after eating.

More and more foxes learned that there was someone here feeding them every day, and they all rushed over from all directions. After eating the food provided by Jerry once, and seeing that other foxes were turning a blind eye to Jerry, they settled down near the courtyard with peace of mind.

In the following days, Jerry increased the amount of food, feeding these foxes until they were full. Since these foxes no longer needed to go find food themselves, they would frolic with other foxes in front of the gate.

It is said that foxes are clever and very wary of humans, but once they truly accept a person, they become very uninhibited.

Now, even before Jerry puts the food in the feeding area, these foxes surround him, not acting like strangers at all.

Jerry tried to pick up a cute little white fox, and this little white fox was very obedient and did not resist at all. Stroking the fox's fur, it felt so comfortable!

Someone might ask, don't these foxes fight when they are together? Why do foxes fight? For food, of course. They only fight and struggle for a bite to eat.

It's different here with Jerry; food is never lacking, so is there any need to struggle?

Sometimes Jerry would directly bring out a rocking chair and lie down in front of the courtyard, and these foxes would jump onto Jerry to find a comfortable spot to sleep.

Of course, Jerry wouldn't keep raising this group of foxes like this forever; he was just getting familiar with them first.

There is an old saying: "Full and warm, one thinks of lust." These foxes had no natural predators here and no shortage of food, so gradually, many foxes could no longer hold back.

Every night, many foxes began to work hard to propagate the next generation.

Of course, Jerry had a hand in this; he added some special medicinal herbs to the food he fed them—those who know, know.

However, that little white fox had been taken back into the courtyard by Jerry. This little white fox's cultivation was not even ten years; it was clearly born not long ago. The little thing was very cute, snow-white all over, and every time it looked at Jerry with its two watery, large eyes, it was simply too adorable.

Therefore, the little white fox enjoyed Jerry's individual feeding and also lived in the courtyard with Jerry at night.

Jerry had set his own living quarters as a Xiulianchang, so it didn't take long for the little white fox's cultivation to reach ten years.

Although this little white fox was cute, its bloodline was not high, having only one tail. Jerry tried giving the little white fox a Medicinal Bath, but it had no effect. He didn't know if it was because its fur was too good, affecting the absorption.

Once, the little white fox drank a mouthful of the Medicinal Bath. At the time, Jerry was afraid that the energy in the bath was too much and would cause a conflict in soul power, but he didn't expect the little white fox to be completely fine. It seems the physique of a Soul Beast is indeed stronger than that of a human; the violent factors in the blood could not affect the little white fox at all. Come to think of it, these Soul Beasts living in the forest eat raw and swallow alive; if there were an effect, problems would have arisen long ago.

After that, Jerry didn't worry about the little white fox drinking the Medicinal Bath.

Time flowed like water, and before he knew it, Jerry had lived in the forest for quite some time.

From the time of conception, these foxes would give birth in about fifty-one or fifty-two days, basically six to eight cubs per litter, so now one could often see a pile of little foxes playing in front of the courtyard.

These three-tailed foxes mostly gave birth to three-tailed cubs, though there were a few one-tailed ones.

And the one-tailed foxes mostly gave birth to one-tailed cubs, with the occasional three-tailed one appearing.

Moreover, there was a strange phenomenon: three-tailed foxes would only mate with three-tailed foxes and would not look at one-tailed foxes at all.

It seems there are classes within the fox tribe as well.

As for two-tailed ones, he hadn't seen any yet.

Jerry also increased the nutrition in the food and even set up a Xiulianchang in the open space in front of the courtyard.

The cultivation of these foxes improved even faster.

There had even been a few instances where a one-tailed fox's cultivation broke through a hundred years and directly turned into a three-tailed fox.

During this time, the little white fox Jerry was raising brought him a surprise; its cultivation didn't break through, but its bloodline evolved. After the evolution, it was actually a two-tailed fox, which had never appeared before.

This shows that two-tailed foxes actually exist; it's just that the fox Soul Beasts in the forest all evolve when their cultivation breaks through, and since there is more energy, they evolve directly to three tails, which is why it is so hard to see two-tailed foxes.

As for the time it takes for a three-tailed fox to evolve to six tails, it should be when they break through a thousand years; they either evolve into six tails or remain unchanged. At this time, it depends on the specific bloodline concentration.

Because the little white fox had lived with Jerry for a long time, it seemed to understand the general meaning of many things Jerry said.

Jerry set up a small Gravity Field in the courtyard and called the little white fox to go in. Although it was only one times gravity, for a ten-year Soul Beast, it was directly pressed to the ground. The little white fox turned its head and called out to Jerry, which made Jerry feel a bit soft-hearted, so he went in and picked up the little white fox.

"Little fox, you have to slowly adapt to this; it will be good for you in the future!" Jerry said to the little white fox.

Whether the little white fox understood Jerry's meaning or not, it was now lying motionless in Jerry's arms.
