Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person

Chen Ruoan waved his fox paw, dismissing the Feng brothers, and carved a small amount of information from his notes onto a precious tablet on the branch of the Wishing Tree.

After they finished, Tian Sheng and Tian Yang approached again, squatting on either side of the window.

Feng Tianyang opened his round eyes and asked curiously, "Brother Fox, can you tell me how you cultivated?"

Feng Shoushan was equally interested in this topic. He took a piece of animal hide and placed it on the ground, then stood curiously beside the child.

"Want to hear it?"

"think!"

"Then let me tell you about it."

Chen Ruoan wagged his tail and immediately began to act: "The path of cultivation is so difficult! Back when I lived in a small mountain, I first went through the dog tribulation, where I was chased all over the mountain by a pack of ferocious dogs, and my fur was bitten off in several places; then I went through the child tribulation, where I was almost caught and skinned by a naughty child who came up the mountain to raid the den."

"Wow~" The exclamations of the two children gave the fox immense emotional satisfaction.

Chen Ruoan spoke with even more enthusiasm.

"But the most dangerous thing was encountering a stinky Taoist priest. That guy didn't distinguish right from wrong and immediately attacked me with 'Great Wilderness Thunder Imprisonment' followed by 'Five Thunderbolts to the Top'. Fortunately, I was more skilled and fought the Taoist priest for hundreds of rounds without ever being at a disadvantage."

clap clap clap!

Feng Shoushan couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration. No wonder this fox was of such excellent quality; its cultivation journey had been so full of ups and downs and exciting events.

"And then, how did you escape?" Feng Tiansheng pressed.

"Escape?" The fox raised its paw, looking triumphant. "There was no need to escape. In the end, I beat that Taoist priest to the point of submission, and he willingly became my mount. I had no intention of getting entangled with him, but in the end, to fulfill the Taoist priest's aspirations, I accompanied him for a while."

"The journey was even more exciting. I've seen all sorts of bandits, warlords, ghosts, and strange beasts. I went through countless hardships and near-death experiences before finally managing to cultivate into human form."

···

Chen Ruoan spoke eloquently, and the three members of the Feng family were unknowingly captivated. This fox was eloquent and his stories were more exciting than those of a storyteller.

Although it was a little artistic embellishment, the fox recalled the two thousand miles from Yingtan to Mount Tai and felt melancholy, unconsciously exhaling a breath of stale air towards the window.

The Feng brothers still wanted to cause trouble, but Feng Shoushan, who was standing to the side, did not stop them. He poured a bowl of hot water for Chen Ruoan and waited quietly by the fire pit.

Feng Shoushan scrutinized the fox, his mind wandering.

He did want to subdue Chen Ruoan, but the elf was just icing on the cake. He hoped that the fox in front of him could form a contract with Tianyang.

Feng Tianyang's talent to become a "Great Shaman" far surpasses that of his older brother. Now that he has just obtained Qi, it is a crucial time to select his spirit.

Just as Gu Masters have the concept of "natal Gu," Shamans also habitually regard the first spirit they form a bond with as their "natal spirit."

The shaman and the spirit complement each other. With Chen Ruoan's help, his son Tianyang's future will surely be bright.

Feng Shoushan seemed to see—a rising star within the Liangshan shamanic lineage!

"Born of nature, raised by nature, you two should stay and keep your fox friends company."

"Fox friend, you'll be staying here tonight. I'll go get some more firewood." Feng Shoushan walked away with a smile.

Although this fox spirit has a consistent principle, principles can always be broken.

Once the fox friends realize Tianyang's shining points, everything might just fall into place naturally and perfectly.

That night, Feng Shoushan slept soundly, as a celestial fox entered his dream and cried out to the moon.

Chen Ruoan was still fiddling with the treasure book and notes until midnight. He slept longer in the early morning. When he opened his narrow fox eyes, the group of Liangshan shamans from the previous day had already spread the news of the transformed fox spirit.

These people only learned last night when they returned home that their family members had all received some favors from the fox.

For a time, the Feng family's residence was bustling with visitors.

People came one after another with offerings. The wealthy brought small pieces of pork and chicken, along with buckwheat cakes and light wine. Some poor families, who were not qualified to offer proper offerings, simply burned some buckwheat noodles and offered some water to the gods to express their sincerity.

Chen Ruoan glanced down at the offerings laid out on the table, not taking a bite.

The courtyard was already filled with shamans from all over Liangshan. All eyes were fixed on the fox, their gazes burning with an almost obsessive fervor, like hungry wolves eyeing a piece of juicy, readily available meat.

The group of shamans were so envious they were practically grinding their teeth.

Everyone knows that even the immortals of the Northeast need to choose a vassal to follow if they want to make a name for themselves. But this fox spirit is doing good deeds and making many connections on its own.

Alas, such a tremendous stroke of luck has all gone to the Feng family!

Feng Shoushan took in all the expressions around him, his back straightening unconsciously, and he couldn't hide his arrogance when he looked up.

It is said that born sorcerers are blessed by heaven, and this is absolutely true. Even among sorcerers, their opportunities and fortunes can vary drastically.

As Feng Shoushan was thinking, a loud shout suddenly erupted from the crowd: "Fox spirit! My daughter is a sorceress and wishes to form a bond with the fox spirit!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Shoushan's expression changed drastically:

Holy crap, there's such a shameless trick!

Before he could react, another shaman pushed his way forward, yelling at the top of his lungs, "My wife is also a sorceress, her skills are far more reliable than this young girl's!"

In an instant, several rough hands hurriedly pushed their daughters and women forward.

A group of grown men, hunched over with obsequious smiles on their faces, displayed an ugly, fawning demeanor that reminded Chen Ruoan of pimps in brothels.

"Shameless, utterly shameless!" Feng Shoushan cursed inwardly.

Chen Ruoan felt a wave of exhaustion.

Ah, foolish people.

To befriend a fox, he even sold his daughter and wife; I really want to give him the middle finger and give him a good scorn.

call--

Chen Ruoan opened his mouth and exhaled a demonic wind, confusing everyone's vision. Then, he stepped on the clouds and flew towards the west.

"The tribute items have been collected by each household!"

"A bunch of utterly foolish people. If they really want to form a bond with foxes, they should first cultivate a sincere and honest heart."

The fox's light, airy words drifted down from the sky. The Feng brothers were the first to come to their senses, looking up at the sky and clapping their hands with joy.

"Flying fox, flying fox, flying fox!"

As they spoke, Tian Sheng and Tian Yang chased after the mysterious figure in the sky and ran far away.

The mountains not far away were frozen to the bone.

The bare pine branches were covered with glistening icicles, and the mountain wind howled past, whipping up snowflakes. All around was quiet and deserted, and the fox finally had some peace and quiet.

Alas, being a fox is difficult, but being a top-quality spirit fox is even more difficult.

Becoming a beloved and exceptional spirit fox is even more difficult.

Chen Ruoan opened the treasure book of his mind and began to digest the knowledge points that he had painstakingly summarized late into the night.

Just as the fox's mind was being enlightened, a deep, muffled sound came from the valley, distracting it once again.

"What kind of monster dares to trespass on my territory?"

Ok?

Chen Ruoan looked around and sensed a wisp of Yin Qi near a deep mountain cave.

"Who are you?"

The thing replied, "How dare you! Say my name, or I'll give you a fright."

"I am the Iron-Eating General, who can devour gold and chew iron, and who is awe-inspiring in all directions. In my early years, I followed the chief of the Jiuli tribe in conquering all directions and was invincible. Later, my chief was defeated and retreated, and I had no choice but to live in seclusion here for thousands of years."

"Considering this is your first offense, I will let it go. Go to the cold arrow bamboo forest across the mountain and dig up some bamboo stems and stalks and bring them over. That will be the end of it."

Excuse!

Chen Ruoan went in the direction of the sound.

How dare a big, black and white furry dumpling boast more than a fox!
