C324 He Was Looking for Hairy Ball

"No, no, this idea is dangerous. This is just a secret realm after all. How can it be as wonderful as the outside world? I still have to investigate the reason why Situ Hao disappeared. "

Ye Hongtian shook his head and gave up on the idea of staying here. He looked at the Sky Change Weapon Spirit next to him and nodded at the Sky Change Weapon Spirit.

The Heavenly Transformation weapon spirit had been standing at the side for a long time. When it saw that Ye Hongtian's matter had been settled, it went into Ye Hongtian's glabella.

"Master, you have been unconscious for twelve days. It has been half a month since you entered the secret realm. You should be out in a few days." The Heavenly Transformation artifact spirit reminded Ye Hongtian in his sea of consciousness.

Ye Hongtian was stunned. He did not expect that he would be unconscious for twelve days. He only felt that it had only been a while. He thought that at most one day had passed.

If that was the case, Ye Hongtian could not stay in the Star Choosing Secret Realm for too long. He had originally planned to stay in the Star Choosing Secret Realm for half a month. Now it seemed that he still needed to stay for a few more days. At the very least, he needed to bring back some useful information to Situ Qiu.

"I'll go and find Hairy Ball first. After that, I'll explore the surrounding areas that have the ability to explore. I hope I can find some clues about Situ Hao." Ye Hong Tian thought this way.

Just as he thought this, Ye Hongtian reacted. He seemed to not know where Hairy Ball was, and his brows slightly wrinkled.

Rubbing his chin and thinking for a moment, Ye Hong Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. His feet pushed off the ground and he instantly jumped onto a large tree. Then, he condensed the map that he had drawn with his soul force.

He looked at the map and then raised his head to identify the direction. After that, Ye Hongtian spread his wings and flew in a direction.

After a few breaths of time, Ye Hongtian returned to the area where he had met Hairy Ball. After landing on the ground, Ye Hongtian looked up at the crown of the tree as if he was looking for something.

"Oh, I found it."

With a leap, Ye Hong Tian directly arrived at the top of a tree. This tree was a bit thicker than the other trees. Ye Hong Tian followed a tree branch and walked towards the tree trunk.

He opened a few leaves that were bigger than his face and a huge tree hole appeared in front of Ye Hongtian. Ye Hongtian walked straight in.

This tree hole was very big. There were many pine fruits on the side. It was obvious that it was the tree hole Squirrel lived in. Ye Hong Tian also found a few fruits that increased cultivation level in the pinecone. This allowed Ye Hong Tian to confirm that this was Hairy Ball's home.

After searching around the tree hole, he discovered that Hairy Ball did not seem to be home. Ye Hong Tian walked to a relatively spacious area in the tree hole and sat down cross-legged.

This place had a lot of Hairy Ball's fur, and it was even slightly dented. It seemed to be where Hairy Ball slept.

Since Hairy Ball didn't come back, Ye Hong Tian sat there and waited. He took out two fruits and swallowed them. Then, he took out some high-grade vitality stones and placed them around him. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Cultivation was very boring, and it was also very capable of killing time. When a martial artist was focused on cultivation, they wouldn't notice the passing of time. This also caused some martial artists to go into seclusion for several decades.

"Zhi Zhi Zhi."

The sound woke Ye Hongtian up from his cultivation state. When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a huge squirrel squatting in the hole of the tree hole.

Stretching his back, Ye Hongtian stood up and walked in front of the squirrel. He patted the squirrel's head and said with a smile, "Hairy Ball, do you miss me?"

The squirrel that was patted by Ye Hong Tian gave Ye Hong Tian a strange look and took a few steps back, as if it did not recognize Ye Hong Tian.

Ye Hong Tian widened his eyes when he saw the squirrel's reaction. Then, he realized that the squirrel seemed to only be at the Body Forging stage. It didn't seem like the Hairy Ball he was looking for. It was just a relative of Hairy Ball, so he immediately felt a little awkward.

"Cough cough, I've mistaken you for a squirrel, but I don't think I've found the wrong place. May I ask where the original owner of this place is?" Ye Hongtian coughed twice and asked.

The squirrel sniffed Ye Hongtian twice before running into the tree hole with a few pine nuts in its arms. After putting the pine nuts in the pile, it ran out. When it ran out, it even looked back at Ye Hongtian. It seemed like it wanted Ye Hongtian to follow it.

Ye Hongtian scratched his head with his hand and with a flash, he followed the squirrel out. The squirrel shuttled nimbly between many trees at a very fast speed. But from Ye Hongtian's point of view, the squirrel was as fast as a turtle. Its normal walking speed was faster than this.

After following the squirrel for a long time, Ye Hongtian arrived at a place that was relatively close to the depths of the forest. This made Ye Hongtian very puzzled as to why Hairy Ball had come here.

"Squeak squeak."

Squirrel shouted in a direction twice. Ye Hong Tian frowned as he looked in that direction. Soon after, his face was filled with shock.

He saw a squirrel squatting not far in front of him. Its body was blood-red and it was much bigger than the one beside it. This symptom was clearly caused by the corrosion of the ruby.1

This squirrel had the strength of Level Two. If he was not mistaken about the tree hole from before, Ye Hongtian was certain that this was the Hairy Ball he was looking for.

But why was Hairy Ball corroded by the ruby? Weren't Squirrel's living areas all in the outer perimeter? Why was it corroded by the ruby that had appeared in the depths of the forest?

With a flash, he arrived in front of Hairy Ball. He quickly found the ruby on Hairy Ball's body and used the ten thousand tree seeds to absorb it into his body.

After the ruby was removed from Hairy Ball's body, the symptoms on Hairy Ball's body immediately disappeared. After returning to its original state, Hairy Ball slowly fell down.

Ye Hong Tian reached out his hand to check Hairy Ball's breath. After making sure that Hairy Ball's life wasn't in danger, he let out a sigh of relief. He grabbed Hairy Ball's thick tail and flew towards Hairy Ball's tree hole.

When Squirrel, who had brought Ye Hong Tian over, saw that Ye Hong Tian had taken Hairy Ball away with a dull expression, he was completely unable to react to what was happening. When he finally reacted, he couldn't even see Ye Hong Tian and Hairy Ball's shadows.

In just a few breaths of time, Ye Hong Tian had already brought Hairy Ball back to the tree hole. He placed Hairy Ball on the ground and began to examine Hairy Ball's abdomen.

In order to ensure that there wouldn't be any problems with Hairy Ball's body, Ye Hongtian used a trace of true essence to examine Hairy Ball's body.

True essence flowed within Hairy Ball's body. When Ye Hong Tian examined Hairy Ball's entire body, this trace of true essence was almost used up. Hairy Ball also unknowingly broke through two realms.

Hairy Ball's cultivation rose sharply after being corroded by the ruby. After the ruby was absorbed by the ten thousand tree seeds, Hairy Ball returned to its previous cultivation. Adding on the two realms that it had just broken through, Hairy Ball's cultivation was at the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

In just half a month's time, a Refinement Stage squirrel actually broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement. If Hairy Ball was a human martial artist, he would definitely be recruited by the various large sects in the outside world.

However, the reason why Hairy Ball broke through so quickly was because of the fruits in the Star Observation Secret Realm and the ruby that stimulated its potential. There was no such condition in the outside world.
