Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 443 Promotion, Gains

Since the source of Qi involves the secrets of the Mirror of Reincarnation, it is not convenient to reveal it at the moment. Jin Renfeng could only make up an excuse to explain.

"That's strange indeed!"

Dongfang Guyue sighed.
"Renfeng, show me the divine fire."

Upon hearing his master's order, Jin Renfeng made no attempt to hide his actions. He immediately activated the Qi Source Flow and unleashed the Pure Yang Flame.

Golden flames danced in his palm, like an elf.

Dongfang Guyue examined it carefully, then nodded and said...
"Indeed, as you said, the energy expenditure is much less than that of ordinary disciples."

Although the time was short, Dongfang Guyue, as an expert in fire control, could naturally see the changes in the flames.

Dongfang Guyue raised her hand, gathered a flame, and released her spiritual sense to sense it carefully.

Although he was somewhat prepared, Jin Renfeng's heart still couldn't help but rise, worried that his master might discover something amiss.

After a long pause, Dongfang Guyue smiled and spoke.

"Excellent!! I can sense that your magic power is highly compatible with the Pure Yang Flame."

"If I'm not mistaken, this talent that reduces the consumption of divine fire is most likely due to the special nature of your own magical power."

Seeing that his master had not discovered the existence of the Qi Source Flow, Jin Renfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pity!"

Butai sighed.

"I'm hoping that one day I can master the Golden Flame Body Protection like my senior brother!"

"Yes! If we can use this spell, the fighting strength of our Divine Fire Mountain Manor will definitely improve greatly!"

Xueyang said dejectedly.

"Although they practice the same method, each person's magical power will have its own unique tendencies due to their individual characteristics."

Dongfang Guyue shook his head and said,
“Situations like Ren Feng’s are extremely rare.”

"It is absolutely impossible to replicate."

"But you don't need to be envious!"

At this point, Dongfang Guyue looked up at the two women and encouraged them.
"Whether it's your ice magic or Butai's destructive magic, their power is quite remarkable."

"If one trains it to its peak, it may not necessarily lose to the Golden Flame Body Protection."

Hearing this, the two women's gloomy expressions eased slightly.

Listening to the conversation between the master and his disciples, Huai Zhu, who was standing to the side, twisted her two jade hands together, feeling restless.

Among all the disciples, only she and her younger sister Qin Lan were from the Eastern Clan and had the qualifications to cultivate the Golden Flame Body Protection.

However, her cultivation level was among the lowest of her fellow disciples. Not to mention the Golden Flame Body Protection, she could barely even manage a partial Golden Flame Body Protection.

Seeing how much her fellow disciples desired the Golden Flame Protection, she, a member of the Eastern Clan, couldn't help but feel ashamed, realizing she had wasted her talent.

However, no one else was aware of this.

"Renfeng, now that the challenge is over, let's leave this matter alone."

Dongfang Guyue looked at Jin Renfeng and said.

"Tomorrow you should return to the manor with Butai Xueyang and the others!"

"Isn't Master coming back with us?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

"Tomorrow I will convene a Dao Alliance meeting, and all the elders of the upper academies must attend."

Dongfang Guyue said,
Jin Renfeng frowned and summoned all the elders of the upper academy for a meeting, which meant that something big must have happened.

"Is this meeting being held at this time because there's some powerful demon involved?"

He asked the question.

"It's not because of external enemies!"

Dongfang Guyue laughed.

"It's just an internal matter!"

"Internal affairs?"

Butai looked curious.

"I wonder what matter requires such a discussion among so many elders?"

"There's nothing to hide about this!"

Dongfang Guyue laughed.

"After this challenge, Ren Feng's fame spread far and wide, and his prestige soared!"

"I plan to strike while the iron is hot and recommend Renfeng for promotion to Senior Elder."

"Elder of the Upper House?"

The girls looked delighted.

"With the senior brother's strength and reputation, he is more than qualified to serve as an elder of the upper academy."

Butai spoke up.

"That's right! With my current strength, there are few in the entire Dao Alliance who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

Jin Renfeng raised his head and said smugly.

"This position of Elder of the Upper House is rightfully mine."

"You little rascal, you get all cocky after just a couple of compliments!"

Dongfang Guyue laughed and cursed.

"I did not lie!"

Jin Renfeng laughed.

Dongfang Guyue shook his head, feeling helpless about his disciple's frivolous nature.

"However, it's not just Renfeng who got promoted this time!"

Dongfang Guyue looked at Butai and the others.

"Xueyang, Butai, Tsukuba, Xiaoxiao, Huaizhu!"

"Your abilities have greatly improved over the years, and you've accumulated enough merit to warrant a promotion."

"Elder Yang, Elder Li, and I have discussed it and are preparing to promote you, along with Yang Yitan from the Yang family and Li Muchen from the Li family, to the position of Lower Elder of the Dao Alliance."

"Elder of the Lower Court?"

Xueyang, Huaizhu, and the other girls looked surprised.

"Master? Wouldn't this be a bit hasty?"

Xueyang spoke first.

"Hasty? Where was it hasty?"

Dongfang Guyue frowned.

"Aren't we too young to be appointed as elders when we're not even in our early twenties?"

Xue Yang said.

Age is not a problem!

Dongfang Guyue waved his hand.

“When Renfeng was promoted to elder, he was only about ten years old, much younger than you all.”

"But so many young people have been promoted to the position of elders at the same time. This has never happened before in the Dao Alliance."

Xueyang said in a deep voice.

"Now that Master is still in the position of Alliance Leader, he is promoting us on such a large scale..."

To others, this was blatant favoritism and nepotism!

"If this gets out, it will inevitably attract rumors and gossip."

"Yes!"

Lu Zhubo said with concern,

"Even if there is an explanation, it would still be suspicious and raise grounds for doubt."

"Suspect?"

Dongfang Guyue snorted coldly.
"What is there to doubt?"

"The Four Demons of Hunan, the Evil Dragon of the Min River, the Vajra Bear King of the North, and the Man-Eating Yaksha of the Southern Mountains—which one of them isn't a renowned demon king, a great demon king?"

"You have surrounded and annihilated so many powerful enemies. With such achievements, how many of the elders of the lower academies can match you?"

"Moreover, a few days ago, you joined forces to kill the peak-level Great Demon King, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon."

"With such illustrious achievements, what does a mere elder of a lower academy amount to?"

Upon hearing this, the women's gazes shifted slightly.

Over the past few years, they have fought in the north and south, and have been fighting against demons everywhere. They know best the hardships they have endured.

Honestly, they never felt they were unworthy of the position of Dean.

Who can criticize achievements earned through life-or-death battles and real fighting?

If we're really just talking about merit, they deserve to be called elders, not just the lower-level elders, but even the upper-level elders.

"This disciple is only worried about causing trouble for Master!"

Butai said sadly,
"After all, there are still many obstacles within the Dao Alliance!"

"I will make the decision on this matter, and I will take full responsibility," Dongfang Guyue said resolutely.

"You lot are to follow my orders."

Seeing that their master had made up his mind, the women had no choice but to accept it.

"What is your opinion on this matter, Senior Brother?"

Xueyang asked.

Jin Renfeng laughed.

"I actually think this is a good thing."

"If I really get the position of Elder of the Lower Academy, it will be worth all the hard work my junior sisters have done over the past few years."

"Moreover, the position of the elder of the lower academy of the Dao Alliance also has an impact on the selection of the alliance leader."

"If we can get more seats, we'll have more power in the next election, which will be good for us!"

Upon hearing this, the women were taken aback.

They were so focused on protecting the reputation of their sect that they forgot about this.

"But what if the royal families obstruct us?"

Huai Zhu said with concern.

"Stop them? What's there for them to stop?"

Dongfang Guyue snorted coldly.
"Why don't they recommend their own disciples too?"

"As long as their merits are sufficient, I can promote them as well!"

Upon hearing this, everyone almost burst out laughing.

Not to mention those masked groups who spend their days wandering around doing nothing productive.

Even if they did some acts of slaying demons and monsters, they would cover them up by wearing masks.

Where can it be displayed openly?
"It seems that this time, the royal family faction is definitely going to suffer a loss!"

Jin Renfeng laughed.

. . . . . . . . .

In the evening, Jin Renfeng returned to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he summoned the Mirror of Reincarnation with a thought.

The ancient mirror surface churned within my consciousness.

Looking at the familiar mirror, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Having traveled far and wide, sweeping through the nine great families, the time for reaping the rewards has finally arrived.

"Mirror of Reincarnation, how much causal power do I currently possess?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

A faint light appeared on the surface of the Reincarnation Mirror.

[Current causal power: 2346 points!]

A message flooded into Jin Renfeng's mind.

"2346 points? That's a lot?"

Jin Renfeng's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

This was the first time he had accumulated more than two thousand points of causal power.

This amount of causal power is even greater than what he has painstakingly accumulated over the years.

"How much causal power did I gain from defeating Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye this time?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

In his excitement, he didn't bother to calculate the power of cause and effect he had gained this time.

[A total of 1005 points of Causal Power were gained this time!]

The Mirror of Reincarnation provided a timely response.

"1005 O'Clock?"

Jin Renfeng's eyes widened suddenly.

That Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye is such a scoundrel! Just defeating him is enough to give him the power of cause and effect that he spent three years currying favor with Qin Lan to obtain!
"The last time there was such a large surge was when I fought against the ten members of the Masked Gang alone, which resulted in a surge of 586 points."

Jin Renfeng murmured.

"This time, just by defeating Wang Quanbaye, the price has doubled compared to before."

"What a rich man!"

The excited Jin Renfeng couldn't wait to go back and give Wang Quanba Ye another beating.

However, he ultimately managed to suppress his greed.

He knew that this gain was not solely due to his imperial power and dominance.

Otherwise, when they defeated the Masked Gang's siege last time, they should have obtained more causal power.

"What caused this change in the power of causality?"

Jin Renfeng was also somewhat curious.

When he defeated the ten members of the Masked Gang last time, he only gained a little over five hundred points of causal power. This time, he gained so much more after just defeating Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, which clearly indicates that other factors were at play.

He began to carefully consider the differences between the two.

"The fact that it can bring so much causal power must be due to the fact that many powerful families are watching from the sidelines."

Jin Renfeng said,

Although the heads of aristocratic families don't have much screen time in the story, as the current leaders of the Dao Alliance, they must possess a power of cause and effect.

"Butai, Xueyang, these junior sisters must have brought a lot of karmic power with them."

"However, they were not participants in this event. Although they have a lot of karma on them, they should not be the main reason for the extra hundreds of points of karma."

His thoughts wandered through his memories, countless scenes flashing before his eyes. Soon, Jin Renfeng cleared his memory of everyone present during this challenge.

"Besides these people, I really can't think of anyone else who could bring so much causal power!"

Jin Renfeng frowned and said,

"Could there be other people watching from the sidelines?"

With this in mind, Jin Renfeng began searching through his memories once again.

With his photographic memory, he can search for information in his memory as easily as replaying a video.

However, after checking again, Jin Renfeng still found nothing.

“I even checked the faces of the rogue cultivators, but I found absolutely nothing.”

"There's no way anyone could escape my detection!"

"Unless the cause of this karmic consequence is not human!"

Upon realizing this, Jin Renfeng's face lit up with a look of sudden understanding.

"How could I have forgotten that!"

"Currently, within this Dao Alliance, those who can bring a difference of several hundred points in causal power are even superior to the rest of the Masked Group."

"What else could it be but the Sword of Royal Power?"

Normally speaking, according to the timeline, the members of the Masked Group are currently the protagonists of this world.

Therefore, according to the power of cause and effect, almost no one in the Dao Alliance can defeat them.

The only thing capable of conjuring hundreds of points of causal power out of thin air, even more than the combined power of the nine masked groups, is the mysteriously ancient and millennia-old Wangquan Sword.

After all, compared to royal power and hegemony, this sword is merely a supporting character that runs through the entire fox spirit world.

The three main supporting characters in the Fox Demon World—Wang Quan Fugui, Wang Quan Baye, and Wang Quan Wu Mu—all rely on this sword as their core fighting force.

Its existence spanned thousands of years of human history, and even Wang Fugui in later generations was affected by it.

The causal forces that arise from it are self-evident.

"Truly worthy of being called the Sword of Heaven and Earth!"

Jin Renfeng sighed,

"Not only is its power the strongest in the Dao Alliance, but its power of cause and effect is also unparalleled in the world."

"If we have the chance to fight in the future, I will definitely earn back more karmic power."

Having figured out the source of the power of cause and effect, Jin Renfeng also completely included the Wangquan Sword in his list of targets for obtaining cause and effect.

"Now that I have 2346 points of causal power, I don't think I need to worry about the consumption of causal power when traveling through worlds."

Jin Renfeng pondered to himself.

"Perhaps I can try to analyze the supernatural powers of the Third Young Master of Aolai."

With a surplus of causal power, Jin Renfeng once again set his sights on the Third Young Master of Aolai.

However, after a moment's thought, he shook his head.

"What I need most right now is to break through to the Demon Emperor realm."

"Learning more spells at this point would only be icing on the cake."

"It's better to save the excess causal power for the new world and use it to find opportunities for analysis."

Jin Renfeng said in a deep voice.

Although the Third Young Master of Aolai is very famous, he values ​​improving his own strength more than hype and fame.
