Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person

"Brother Lu, don't you need to rest for a bit?" Chen Ruoan put away his oil-paper umbrella and walked forward slowly.

"It's alright."

Lu Jin's unease grew stronger.

"Brother Chen's umbrella, is it a Buddhist ritual implement?"

Chen Ruoan replied, "A small device to conceal one's aura and hide one's form is not a sophisticated thing."

"Not at all. Just from the golden light emanating from the umbrella, I know it is no ordinary item. Only a grandmaster craftsman from the Mo Sect and the Heavenly Craft Hall could make such a thing."

"Let's be frank, I don't need this." Chen Ruoan exclaimed, and the enveloping mist drew the oil-paper umbrella into his belly.

"please."

"Please!" Lu Jin used his profound skill again, filling his skin with Qi, which then spread to his muscles, bones, internal organs, and blood, briefly completing the transformation of Qi.

This is the second level of the Reverse Life Triple Rebirth.

This allows a part of the body to temporarily transform into Qi, and circulating Qi can repair some wounds and damage.

After mastering the first level, the cultivator becomes impervious to water and fire, swords and spears, and all evil spirits. They are free from all diseases, and their bodies are surrounded by a mist of qi, giving them the appearance of an immortal.

Reaching the peak of the second level, the physical body has almost no weaknesses, and can even regenerate severed limbs and reconstruct the three cores.

Within the Sanyi Sect, even among those at the second level of Reverse Life, the cultivation levels of users vary greatly, with most Sanyi Sect members stopping at this stage in their entire lives.

Foxes have the ability to observe the energy of mountains through intuition, but they are still lacking in the "observation" method of investigating the flow of Qi in people.

However, Lu Jin only reached the peak of the second level in his old age. At present, he has only consolidated his foundation and is not yet able to repair and use his body with ease.

call out!

In the training ground, Lu Jin's energy condensed, and with a light touch of his toes, he shot towards Chen Ruo'an like an arrow released from a bow. His energy transformed into his muscles, bones, and skin, making his movements fierce and swift.

Chen Ruoan remained calm and unhurried, exhaling a wisp of demonic wind that instantly made Lu Jin's vision blur and his steps falter.

Dark clouds suddenly gathered over Zhenyigang, obscuring the sunlight, and fine raindrops drizzled down, wetting the bluestone platform.

The Taoist priests watching hurriedly picked up their prayer mats and covered their heads with them, then moved back to the side of the field. When they stood still and looked back, the center of the field was shrouded in a hazy mist, with raindrops forming a thin curtain.

"To blow the wind and also summon clouds and rain?"

Lu Jin rubbed his still slightly sore eyes, his tone containing a hint of surprise and teasing: "Brother Chen was originally a fox, but he has cultivated the supernatural powers of the Dragon King."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed forward again, his figure breaking through the rain curtain. His palm, carrying immense force, struck the blurry figure in the mist.

The raindrops were altered by Lu Jin's palm strike, and his palm landed on nothing but empty air, unable to touch anything substantial.

In the rain and mist, ghostly figures loomed, their reality and illusion indistinguishable. Chen Ruoan's figure seemed to be both east and west, making it impossible to pinpoint his exact location.

Lu Jin's heart skipped a beat.

Besides being skilled in bewitching and seductive arts, foxes also have a group of experts in illusion techniques.

Using the environment to create illusions, conceal their form, and confuse others is an innate ability of foxes.

Lu Jin immediately calmed his mind, no longer focusing on what he saw, but instead trying to sense the movement within the rain and mist.

Snapped!

At that moment, Chen Ruoan patted his left shoulder from behind.

"Brother Lu, your approach is gambling on gentlemanly conduct, giving unscrupulous people an opportunity. Any normal person wouldn't give you a chance to calmly break through the situation."

The fox stared at his palm. The palm strike was not heavy and had almost no effect on the body in its "reverse life" state.

"If I use an even more unscrupulous method, wouldn't I be deepening this ill-fated relationship?"

Upon reflection, Chen Ruoan noticed that the thread of goodwill between her and Lu Jin had become brighter.

Ok?

Is this "flawless life" a masochist?

Beating someone up can deepen your relationship? I've never heard of such a good thing before!

"Brother Lu, I'm going to abandon all martial ethics."

Chen Ruoan stood deep in the rain and mist, exhaling another wisp of yin breath, and five ghostly figures instantly materialized.

"Soul Control Technique: Five Ghosts"

go with!

As soon as the soft shout subsided, the five ghosts shot towards Lu Jin like arrows released from a bow.

Since following Chen Ruoan, the Five Ghosts have absorbed the Yin Qi of the mountains day and night, accompanying him in his cultivation under the moon. Their souls are far stronger than when they were in the "Yin-Yang Realm".

Moreover, ghosts are the most troublesome for people who are not of witch origin.

With a few swift "whoosh" sounds, the ghostly figure darted about in the rain and mist.

Chen Ruoan used the method of harassing the enemy to command the five ghosts.

As Lu Jin threw his fist, the five ghosts spun around and dodged away.

After he finished his attack and took a breath, they surrounded him from all sides again.

Once he showed signs of weakness, they entangled him again...

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack. This is a strategy masterclass.

As the cycle repeated, Lu Jin's breathing gradually became heavy, his movements became somewhat sluggish, and he felt increasingly powerless.

He forced back a ghost that was standing close to him with a wave of his hand, wiped the raindrops from his face, and called out loudly into the mist, "Brother Chen, is it all you in the rain and mist?"

Chen Ruojing stood quietly in a corner, ignoring his question.

Lu Jin, Lu Jin, things have come to this point, and you still haven't figured out the problem?

"When a person is born, the primordial Qi manifests in the limbs and bones, which is the natural order. Following the natural order is in accordance with the laws of nature, but death is inevitable. Therefore, it is necessary to reverse the process and return to the state of the primordial Qi, which is to defy the laws of nature in order to achieve ascension to immortality."

This is the underlying principle of the "Reverse Rebirth Triple" technique.

To put it bluntly, returning to the primordial Qi means that one's ordinary breathing gradually ceases, true breathing begins to appear, and the primordial Qi mechanism is activated, which can arise from nothingness and enter naturally without being drawn in.

Afterwards, Qi and spirit unite, embryonic breathing naturally forms, and only one true self remains within and without.

The current "reverse rebirth" is nothing more than using life as a price to try every means to maintain a false state.

When the Qi Sea is insufficient and the profound power dissipates, all delusions of becoming an immortal will vanish like smoke.

Lu Jin had already expended a lot of his Qi in his previous sparring with Fang Dongtian, and after being tormented by the Five Ghosts, he was almost exhausted.

And at times like these...

Chen Ruoan recalled the scene of traveling the world on Zhang Zhiwei's shoulders—if I can see further than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

If defeat and humiliation deepened their ill-fated relationship, that would be one thing, but Lu Jin actually deepened his bond with the fox because of being beaten. So, the fox only has one choice left.

Zhang Zhiwei, your slaps weren't fast enough or hard enough back then.

Snapped!

Chen Ruoan condensed Qi in his palm, revealing the true form of a fox on his right arm, and used his fox paw to slap towards Lu Jin's left chin.

"Um?"

The continuous rain stopped, and the floating water vapor gradually settled down, with the soft, limp paw pads of a fox pressing against Lu Jin's cheek.

The shaking of the upper dantian requires extremely strict control of the force. The fleshy pads cushioned the impact, just enough to keep the person dazed and prevent brain damage.

"Brother Chen, did Senior Brother Zhang tell you this?"

"Zhang Dazui did mention it briefly, but after all these years, your upper elixir is still unstable. Maintaining 'Reverse Life' must take a lot of mental effort, right?"

"Yes..." Lu Jin stumbled and fell into a puddle.

The Taoist priests watching chuckled, "So this is how you fill in the gaps in the rumors about the Lu family's birthday banquet? Little Lu Jin, how did you lose to a high-ranking Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

"There's also a hidden cave! Don't let Quanzhen down! You should try it too, use your Yang Shen technique to bump into the fox!"

Fang Dongtian gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the smiling senior.

What happened to your composure?

Why are they all laughing so uncontrollably?

Chen Ruoan stepped forward and handed her hand to Lu Jin, saying, "Get up and we'll talk later."

Lu Jin covered his mouth and nose, embarrassed, and said, "No, Brother Chen, you should stop using your supernatural powers first."
