From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 309: Lake Island and Moral Lotus Leaf
The island in the center of the lake, originally called Fox Heart Island, is the place where the Moon Fox clan worships the moon and gathers Qi. The terrain of the island is high on all sides and low in the middle, like a bowl.

Before being thrown to the bottom of the sea, there was a pool of Taiyin Moonlight Water on the island, which was specially designed to increase the spirituality of ordinary foxes, similar to the Nanyu Pond in Xiyu Fudi.

The secret method of refining the Taiyin Moonlight has always been passed down only among the Moon-worshiping demon clan, namely the Moon Fox, Moon Toad, Moon Snake, and the rare Moon-gazing Eel.

To refine the Taiyin Moon Essence, one not only needs the Taiyin Moon Worship Secret Method, but also the support of the earth's energy. The light of the moon from the sky and the light of the earth's energy must be combined to form the Taiyin Moon Essence Spirit Water.

Later, Jiaotu Dragon Son led the water tribe Taoist soldiers to the lake, and the island in the middle of the lake was submerged by the rising tide of the dragon tribe, and the roots of the earth and mountains were also broken.

The Moon Fox Clan secretly explored several times and found that the ground energy on the island was dissipating. Even if the ground veins were repaired, it would be difficult to refine the Taiyin Moonlight.

They never tried to salvage the island in the middle of the lake again, and just took away everything on the island until not long ago, when Yin Chenzi came and bought it.

Saying that they bought the island was just a courtesy. It was basically given to them by Yuehu.

Although the Fox Kingdom is governed by six foxes, it is still a state after all, and everyone has the responsibility to defend their territory. The island was submerged by the rising tide of the aquatic creatures and even sank completely into the sea.

No matter how you look at it, the loss of territory and humiliation of the country are inevitable. The Moon Fox Clan is blamed from time to time, which makes several generals and dukes very annoyed.

As soon as Yin Chenzi opened his mouth in Zuo Guozhu's mansion, he was immediately surrounded by several generals and marquises of the Yuehu clan. They all agreed to his proposal and even replaced the land deed documents on the spot.

The issue of purchasing the island in the middle of the lake was thus resolved. All that remained was to raise the island when the tide receded and bring the fox demons from Tokaidoin over there.

Fortunately, Yu Shuyang had already made a plan. After Yang Fuzi, Li Taiping and others came, they didn't have to come to the Fox Kingdom anymore. They could just drive the ship directly to the island in the middle of the lake.

Yin Chenzi went over to help in advance, and with the help of two third-grade demon immortals, they were able to raise the island by receding the tide and repair the underground veins and mountain roots.

At the academy, Yu Shuyang divided his troops into three groups. One group was composed of student foxes, who went to the dormitory to pack up all their personal belongings and were guarded by Wan Jia and Qi Feng.

It’s not that he was worried that the foxes wouldn’t take care of things, but he was worried that they would secretly pass on information and bring his family members in the capital.

He was not afraid of the fox clan officials, but he did not want to create any more complications. To be honest, Yu Shuyang also had a little selfish motive.

The island in the middle of the lake had just been fished out of the sea, and who knows how much of the earth's energy had dissipated. We had to find a way to repair it, and we had already built a Taoist temple residence, which would inevitably cost a lot of money and consumption.

He wanted to select the next batch of students from one of the hundred cities in the Fox Kingdom and waive all tuition fees, so he needed the support of all the foxes now.

The second group consisted of the Taoist children and fox servants from the Great Alchemy Master's Mansion. They were asked to pack up all the things in the master's residence and the school, and take away everything that could be packed. This group was supervised by Yu Shuyang himself.

Yu Shuyang does not plan to demolish the Taoist temple mansion here. He will keep it as a temporary place to stay. After all, it is not far from the capital. When he starts recruiting students later, he can report here first.

There is another reason, which is Yin Chenzi's suggestion. Among the six major fox tribes, the ghost foxes cannot practice without tombs. In the future, the ghost foxes in the Taoist temple will have to come back to collect Qi.

The third group is Fox Leader, Jintong, and the three brothers of the Qiu family. They were asked to go to the harbor to find a ship to transport all the fox demons over.

This job is not easy either. The island in the middle of the lake is at the southernmost end, which is where the Fox Kingdom and the Jiaotu Dragon Son fought. The ships may not dare to take this risk.

Yu Shuyang also had other considerations. He gave this job to Fox Leader to test his character again. First, he wanted to see his ability to do things and second, to see if he would leak the news of the relocation.

Before leaving, Yu Shuyang repeatedly reminded Fox Leader not to leak any information, so as to prevent the National Pillar Mansion and the General Mansion in the capital from stopping him.

In this way, it can be considered as a pre-emptive statement that if the leader of the foxes fails to accomplish this task, it will be considered that he is incompetent and uncapable of his current job.

Yu Shuyang took the opportunity to demote him to a servant in the Taoist temple, and then tortured him until he was trained and promoted.

It's not that he is narrow-minded and intends to target the Fox Leader, but Yu Shuyang has no available manpower under his command. In the future, the Taoist temple will inevitably have a lot of miscellaneous affairs, especially dealing with the Fox Kingdom.

This requires a fox demon with suitable status and position who can help deal with these chores so that Yin Chenzi doesn't have to step in personally.

The Fox Leader was born into the royal family of the Nine-tailed Fox and had served as the chief steward of the Great Alchemist's Mansion for many years. It was indeed the most appropriate person for him to step forward and resolve many issues.

Now that Yu Shuyang has become the headmaster of Tokaido Temple, he also has to make some considerations. Just like what Master Yu taught him earlier, he needs to do things to practice the principles in his heart.

Of course, if Fox Leader deliberately passed the news out, such as informing the National Pillar Mansion, Yu Shuyang would not have to bother to discipline him and could just drive him away.

Therefore, Yu Shuyang repeatedly reminded him to keep the secret and not leak the news, and for this reason, he exaggerated the seriousness of the matter tenfold.

At the same time, Jintong and the three brothers of the Qiu family were sent together so that there would be a witness to ensure that the Fox Leader would not be wrongly accused.

It can be said that everything was under control, and things went surprisingly smoothly, with no obstruction from the Duke's Mansion.

After all, every month when the evaluation is conducted, fox demons will come to the mansions of the pillars of the country and the generals and have a fight with Yin Chenzi.

Until Yu Shuyang led a group of little foxes around the city and headed to the harbor pier, they all looked confused.

The fox leader was leading the way in front, looking back from time to time. Seeing Yu Shuyang's gloomy face, he kept complaining in his heart.

He had experienced Yu Shuyang's methods twice. Once in the Great Alchemist's Mansion, he deceived and guided him, and Yu Shuyang directly ordered the demon servants to beat him severely. The key point was that he could not resist at all.

After experiencing this, Fox Leader finally came to his senses. His previous schemes and tricks were no match for true strength.

Especially since he was driven out of the Great Alchemist's Mansion. Without this relationship, he was just a seventh-rank demon from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, and could not be compared with the chief steward of the Great Alchemist's Mansion.

For this reason, he came back with a flattering face. This time, Yin Chenzi told him some things, such as the planning of the Taoist temple, the nine-tailed fox, and even the future of the Qingqiu fox clan.

The most important thing is that there are three little foxes in the Taoist temple, who are the direct bloodlines of his grandchildren. This is different from being the chief steward in the Great Alchemist's Mansion.

Therefore, this time when Yu Shuyang gave the order, no matter how difficult the task was, he went straight to the harbor terminal with Jintong and the three brothers of the Qiu family without a single complaint.

He didn't look for anyone else and directly transferred his own ships over. After all, Fox Leader was of royal blood, and there were many fox monsters in his family, so naturally he ran a lot of industries.

"Master, this is the ship in front. We can just board it directly." Fox Leader pointed at the ship and said to Yu Shuyang.

Jin Tong and the three brothers of the Qiu family were standing on the deck of the ship. The four of them stayed on the ship to provide support, and Yu Shuyang saw them early in the morning.

"It looks like a good seagoing vessel. Is it a cargo ship?" Yu Shuyang asked casually. The Fox Leader bowed respectfully and said, "The headmaster has a good eye. This ship is a cargo ship. I have prepared some spiritual grains and spiritual materials in advance."

Yu Shuyang was somewhat surprised after hearing this. He paused for two or three breaths before saying, "Manager Hu is very thoughtful. All these purchases will be billed to the Taoist Academy. It's not good for you to pay for them out of your own pocket."

Currently, Yu Shuyang has just taken over Tokaidoin and is not clear about the projects involved. However, he has to say that public and private accounts must be clear.

He planned to ask the fox families to provide money for talismans and spiritual materials in order to build a network of relationships for the Taoist temple. Otherwise, he could just ask Yin Chenzi to pay for it directly to save the trouble of going around in circles.

After all, if Yin Chenzi could just refine a furnace of golden elixirs, the money he could earn from selling the talismans would be enough to build a Taoist temple on the lake island, or even more than enough.

After all, the Tokaido Academy is located in the Qingqiu Islands. Now and in the future, all the students recruited by the academy will be from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, so they will naturally build their own network of relationships.

"Everyone please board the ship in an orderly manner. Don't make noise or fight. Wan Jia, you will maintain order." Yu Shuyang turned around and said to the group of little foxes.

After most of the day's contact, all the little foxes had a deep understanding of the Wan family's wooden torches struck by lightning. They knew that being touched by the fire stick would cause excruciating pain, so they all obeyed obediently.

Moreover, after Yu Shuyang cast a spell to dissipate the cultivation of the fox demons, none of them were not afraid now.

The little foxes closed their mouths tightly and climbed onto the deck in no time, just like rabbits entering a hole.

They all had magic bags on them, but there were no large or small bags. After all, Yu Shuyang only took away their cultivation, but did not damage their minds, so they could still use the magic bags to carry things.

As all the foxes, big and small, boarded the boat, a group of fox demons that looked like Taoist children followed. In that case, all the demons from the Taoist temple boarded the ship.

Yu Shuyang no longer worried about anything else and handed the task of placing the little fox demon to Fox Leader, Jintong, and Wanjia. He asked Qifeng to find a representative from each of the foxes.

He didn't have much contact with the six major fox tribes, so he needed to talk to the students first, especially the ghost fox and moon fox tribes. They used to practice the incense and fire way, but after escaping from the sea, they changed to practice the nine-level immortal method.

Yin Chenzi once briefly talked about the six major fox tribes, mainly about the affairs of the Qingqiu tribe. After all, he didn't care much about the officials of the Fox Kingdom.

Currently, there are four first-grade demon immortals among the six major fox tribes. Only the ghost fox and moon fox tribes have not had a first-grade demon immortal because of the change of their martial arts.

If the sleeping nine-tailed fox god is included, the ghost fox and moon fox barely have one ancient god, whose strength is between the second and first rank.

Currently, the Qingqiu Fox Clan is in this situation. Although the Earth Fox, Demon Fox, Heart Fox, and Nine-tailed Fox did not bully the Ghost Fox and Moon Fox, their lack of confidence can be seen in many details.

Before long, Qifeng walked in front with deer hooves, followed by a group of little foxes with different fur colors, forming a very soft and cute group.

"Master, these are all clansmen from the Zhuguo Mansion. Their cultivation levels were all at the ninth rank earlier, and they are considered to be the most outstanding among all the foxes." Qifeng had the aura of an old senior, not as ignorant as before.

Yu Shuyang nodded and said, "You are the most outstanding among the first batch of foxes in the Taoist Academy. I called you here today for two main reasons.

One is that we move to the island in the middle of the lake. As you know, that is the battlefield where Jiaotu Longzi is leading the water tribe Taoist soldiers to fight.

This requires you to grow up as quickly as possible. Although you are not required to go to the battlefield, you must at least have some self-protection ability.

I am going to teach you a battle formation method. This formation method does not require the consumption of cultivation, and only requires the support of the mind."

After Yu Shuyang finished speaking, he took out twelve jade talismans from his magic bag, dividing them into two rows and six in a group. The runes on the jade talismans were all made of incense, money and gold.

"These jade talismans are called Dingjia Divine Talismans. Ding talismans represent Yin, while Jia talismans represent Yang. They each have different uses. You can take these talismans back with you.

Male foxes wear armor talismans and female foxes wear Ding talismans, and they form a group of six. Before they break through the ninth level, they should not separate to avoid encountering the Taoist soldiers of the water tribe and being abducted.

I'll have Qifeng teach you how to refine jade talismans and how to form arrays. You'll be responsible for arranging this matter after you return."

The six little foxes nodded repeatedly. They had been in the Taoist temple for three years. Apart from reciting Taoist scriptures morning and evening, they also practiced family exercises. They had finally broken through to the ninth level, but were eliminated by the magic of the new mountain master.

To be honest, all the little foxes are now confused. They are completely frightened by Yu Shuyang. He has wasted his cultivation, and his gathered Dharma images and refined Dharma talismans. They have never heard of him before.

Yu Shuyang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, since I have taken on the position of headmaster, I am also your teacher.

I have no ill intentions towards you. I took away your cultivation earlier because I didn't want you to practice inferior skills.

There is a technique that I can teach you now without examining your Daoist scriptures. It can be considered a small bond between us."

After Yu Shuyang finished speaking, he used his spiritual power to manifest from above his head, revealing three golden lotus buds about to bloom, three lotus pods without lotus seeds, and three black and white lotus leaves.

The golden lotus was a nine-petaled earth-born golden lotus, formed by the accumulation of good karma. As long as Yu Shuyang refined the essence, energy and spirit into it, the three lotuses would bloom, thus achieving the secret method of the three flowers gathering at the top of the head.

The black and white lotus leaves are a new change that has appeared in recent days. Since Yu Shuyang took office as the president of Tokaidoin, a spirit of enlightenment and moral light have been gathered by the lotus leaves.

Yu Shuyang has been contemplating the moral lotus leaf in the past two days and deduced a spell that is similar to the secret technique of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. There is no need to gather energy and spirit, but only to focus on refining the moral mysterious light into a lotus leaf.

"Today I will teach you a technique of enlightenment. From now on, you, like Qifeng, will serve as role models for students and guide them in studying the sacred scriptures."

Yu Shuyang stretched out his hand and took a little shadow from each of the three moral lotus leaves, each of which was a ray of moral mysterious light.

He planted six strands of mysterious light into the eyebrows of the little foxes, and then saw a tuft of mysterious white hair growing on the foreheads of the six little foxes, like a vertical eye.

"You haven't recast your spiritual platform yet, so the moral lotus leaves cannot appear for the time being. Now I will plant them in your hearts first." Yu Shuyang explained.

This moral lotus leaf needs to be taught in order to gather the mysterious light of morality and thus condense the moral lotus leaf.

This can also be regarded as a little trick of Yu Shuyang, using tangible benefits as bait to drive the little foxes to concentrate on learning Taoism.

"Qifeng, from now on, the six of them will be handed over to you. The seven of you are considered the leaders of the foxes, and you need to take the lead and cooperate later."

After Yu Shuyang finished speaking, he did not forget to plant a virtual shadow of a moral lotus leaf on the Qifeng Lingtai.
