"Maybe it is some special secret method taught by Uncle Qing," Tushan Wuyi said as he quietly wiped some sweat from his forehead. "We cannot just keep watching like this. If this continues, we will not even be able to awaken our bloodlines before we leave."

"Then what should we do?" Tushan Susu said gloomily. "He is so strong. As long as we stay near him, we will not get anything at all."

"Let me think." Tushan Wuyi frowned, trying to figure out a way to gain evolution energy while still keeping an eye on Xiao Shou.

At that moment, Xiao Shou who had just exhausted his recovered spiritual energy and had little stamina left, flew over and looked at them. "Are you two not going to fight for a while?"

"What about you?" Tushan Susu asked in return.

Xiao Shou stretched his body lazily and said in a weak tone, "I cannot keep going. My spiritual sense can recover endlessly, but my physical stamina cannot keep up. I need to rest for a bit."

When Tushan Wuyi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "Uncle Shou, I have an idea."

Without thinking, he used the title he had already assigned to Xiao Shou in his mind and spoke seriously.

"You should know that our Celestial Fox clan is skilled in techniques that restore stamina and energy. We can help you recover, and in return, you can share some of the evolution energy with us. How does that sound?"

"Uncle?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Xiao Shou raised a brow, then said casually, "Oh, so you are from the 137,971st generation. I thought you were from the same generation as me."

He clearly remembered Tushan Qing’s favorite line about being the strongest among the 137,969th generation descendants of the Fox Clan.

Since Tushan Wuyi called him uncle, then the identity he was pretending to have as Tushan Qing’s child would place him in the 137,970th generation.

Might as well deepen their impression.

This way, even if Tushan Qing does not want to take the blame, he will have no choice.

Just imagining his reaction later is quite amusing.

Someone who always tricks others getting tricked himself.

Hmm.

It seems my personality has become a bit worse compared to before.

Could this be the influence of the Terrestrial Fox bloodline?

Well, it cannot be helped.

After all, Terrestrial Foxes are just that shameless by nature.

In the original story, when the Fox Clan arc was introduced, the author even dedicated a separate Chapter to explaining the past and present of the Fox Clan.

In the end, it was summarized that across all realms, continents, and races, traces of the Terrestrial Fox bloodline existed everywhere, only lying dormant without awakening, while other bloodlines remained dominant.

The author even mentioned in a note that the creation of the Fox Clan was mainly to make Xiao Ran suffer greatly before rising above others.

In reality, readers had grown tired of constant power ups and victories, so the author decided to torment the protagonist for a change of pace.

Unexpectedly, this led to the creation of Tushan Qing, a character that readers both loved and hated.

Back when Xiao Shou first read that part, he even dreamed about tormenting Tushan Qing over and over again.

That alone showed how strangely captivating that character was.

Thinking about the chance to mess with Tushan Qing made Xiao Shou feel quite excited.

However, he did not forget the task at hand.

He knew that the Celestial Fox lineage excelled in recovery techniques and it was far superior to those of ordinary cultivators.

After a brief thought, he nodded. "Alright, we can try it. But the two of you can only take ten percent."

This way, Yao Heng would take forty percent, the two of them would share ten percent, and he would keep half.

If he could maintain continuous farming mode, this small loss could be recovered within two hours.

After all, fully restoring stamina and mental energy usually took at least three hours.

As for how they collected evolution energy, he had already seen it earlier with that wooden bottle.

They clearly had a special method.

Perhaps they did not evolve here at all, but instead gathered enough evolution energy and used it later in a safer place.

Or maybe they evolved here and kept the excess for trade outside.

Either way, it did not matter.

What mattered most was gathering as much evolution energy as quickly and efficiently as possible.

"Then it is settled. Brother, I will handle mental energy," Tushan Susu said excitedly the moment Xiao Shou agreed.

A flash of excitement passed through Tushan Wuyi’s eyes as he nodded. "Then I will handle stamina."

The two of them acted in perfect sync, forming hand seals at the same time.

Soon, two different colored streams of spiritual light gathered in their hands and flowed into Xiao Shou’s body.

As the red and blue lights entered him, Xiao Shou could clearly feel his stamina and divine sense recovering rapidly and steadily.

It was quite amazing.

It felt just like restoring health and mana in a game.

However, this recovery technique felt very similar to his own minor vitality restoration art.

Or it’s must be his imagination.

After all, his was a special technique tied directly to his cultivation method.

As he shake off the thought, Xiao Shou sensed that his stamina and energy had fully recovered.

He immediately leapt forward and said, "Alright, let’s begin."

"Alright!" "Alright!" the two replied in unison.

More than ten hours passed and the three of them had long lost count of how many areas they had swept through.

They only saw that Xiao Shou’s spiritual energy had become as thick and viscous as blood.

His cultivation would drop from the peak of the Golden Core stage back to the early stage, then rise again to the peak.

This cycle repeated three times.

As for Tushan Susu and Tushan Wuyi, their wooden bottles were already filled twice.
