Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 12 Teaching the Fox
"What good is this?"

As soon as Chen Ji asked, he noticed changes in his body.

My thinking became much more active, and the breathing method I had just read seemed to be clearly imprinted in my mind.

I even remember most of the pages I quickly flipped through, and I can almost remember everything I see.

"How do you feel about it?"

Mr. Su asked with a smile.

"I've experienced it. It's really extraordinary."

"This is the Confucian art of establishing a statement. I can now perform it once every three days. I'll come back next time."

After saying this, he left, hiding his achievements and fame.

Chen Ji felt the effect and once again marveled at the wonder of cultivation. He also became more and more looking forward to whether "Yiwenlu" would record this story.

He had already guessed.

If he spends a lot of time in contact with demons and ghosts and some special stories happen, he may be included and gain abilities.

I have been communicating with Senior Huai for a long time today, and now Mr. Su is demonstrating his ability as a Confucian cultivator. I think a story will emerge.

As for what it is, it may have to wait until it manifests.

At this time, the fox had also arrived.

Chen Ji didn't think any more and prepared for the class.

I had known these foxes before and knew their situation.

The foxes were named by Miss Bai according to the time when they became intelligent.

For convenience, let’s start from White 2 and continue to White 35.

Those with smaller numbers cultivate faster, and some have already mastered two techniques, while those with larger numbers are still learning.

In order to facilitate teaching, Chen Ji divided the classes into two groups.

Those with similar knowledge mainly studied techniques and moral character, while those with less knowledge continued to improve their knowledge and writing.

With the blackboard, there is no need to teach each fox to write individually. The structure of the word "永" can be written on the blackboard for the foxes to practice.

Then he began to check on the big foxes.

They had seen Bai Qi and Bai Ba before and were quite familiar with each other. The others were still a little curious about Chen Ji. When they heard the questions, although they were not indifferent, they were not very enthusiastic either.

"Sir, if you don't know how to practice, can you still guide us in our practice?"

"Originally it was not allowed, but after talking to Senior Huai and Mr. Su, it seems that it is possible."

The foxes were not so skeptical when they heard these two names, but they still didn't quite believe them.

"Bai Er, you demonstrate first."

Bai Er is a fox girl who practices fire control.

During the demonstration, he carefully took a breath from the wick on the side, and the flame, about an inch long, left the lampstand and stopped at Fox Er's mouth.

Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the flames. When he opened his mouth again, there was no trace of flames. He opened his mouth again and spit out flames, which were even bigger than before.

"How's it going, sir?"

Bai Er asked for advice.

"How do you practice this fire control technique?"

Chen Ji asked.

"Just keep looking at the flames and feeling their aura. Once you're familiar with it, slowly try to control your breathing and feel the flames' aura. Once you can control the aura of fire, you'll be done."

"Then how can I make it bigger?"

"Fire is Qi, and foxes also have Qi. When fire Qi and fox Qi merge, it becomes powerful. Miss Bai said this is fox fire. If you cultivate it to a high level, it can burn demons and ghosts."

Chen Ji nodded, and felt more and more that Xuanshan's dream method was exquisite.

This fire control technique is consistent with the five-qi breathing method recorded in the book.

So he told Bai Er again according to the Five Qi Method.

"Next time you breathe, don't think of it as fire. Just think of it as the heat between heaven and earth. It just has this appearance. It would be best if you could control fire even without fire."

"Why?"

Bai Er was puzzled.

"Otherwise, you'll need to carry fire with you every time you cast a fire spell. If you really encounter a demon or ghost, they'll have to wait for you to blow on the fire stick first."

The foxes laughed loudly.

Bai Er was not angry. He felt that what Chen Ji said made more and more sense. His eyes lit up and he continued to ask for advice.

"Is there any other way to train?"

Chen Ji thought about it.

Since all methods are unified, controlling fire and selling oil seem to be no different. Since he is used to it, he asked Bai Er if he had ever lit a fire in the stove.

Bai Er shook his head.

"Then you can try to make a fire." "Can this be used as a form of spiritual practice?"

“You’ll know after you try it.”

"Thank you sir for your advice."

After Bai Er said goodbye, the other foxes looked at Chen Ji with more respect.

"It turns out there really are teachers who don't know how to practice but can teach you!"

"Mr. Chen is truly extraordinary."

"No wonder Miss Bai asked him to teach us. Maybe he can really get into Fox School?"

When they heard about Fox Learning, the eyes of the foxes lit up and they became more excited to ask Chen Ji about his cultivation.

Bai San practiced the summoning spell, which allowed him to control all kinds of things to fly towards him, but now it is difficult to succeed. He has to try many times before he can succeed once.

Chen Ji asked him to hold the things he wanted to attract and observe them more often, and then take them out subconsciously. He would be able to attract them once it became a habit.

Bai San also thought it made sense and asked Chen Ji again.

"Small things can be carried with you, but how do you attract big things?"

Chen Ji smiled.

"You haven't even mastered the small things yet, so why rush to attract the big things?"

"People often say, 'Don't even think about running if you can't walk.' This also applies to your cultivation."

"I see, Mr. Chen, I was too impatient. I will practice diligently when I get back."

Bai San thanked him sincerely and left.

After that, the foxes became more and more enthusiastic and excited, and came to ask for advice on their spiritual practice.

Chen Ji answered them one by one.

By the time Miss Bai arrived, Chen Ji had already finished the class and left behind a brand new manual.

"Fox Life Notes? What is this for?"

Miss Bai flipped through the book on the table and saw the names of the foxes and their progress in cultivation recorded on it, and asked Chen Ji.

"Record their learning progress and test them every half a decade. If they haven't made any progress, you need to pay attention."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen, for being so serious."

"It's also thanks to Mr. Su and Bai Qi. They will record it at night."

"Yes!"

Bai Qi shouted.

"That was hard work too!"

Miss Bai rubbed Bai Qi's head and looked at Chen Ji.

"I heard that you have chosen a cultivation method?"

"It's the Xuanshan Dream Method recorded in the Xuanshan Strange Tales. It's also a breathing method. Mr. Su helped me choose it."

"Then let's fix it and give it a try."

Miss Bai thought about it and asked Chen Ji again.

"Are there any other requirements for practicing this breathing technique?"

"It seems not."

Chen Ji recalled and shook his head.

"I may need a place with the five elements of mountain qi and yin and yang energy. It doesn't seem to be possible in the house."

"A place for cultivation."

Miss Bai frowned.

"It may not work in ordinary mountains. If a demon or ghost passes by, you may get into trouble. But there are not many places here among the fox tribe. Ah, I got it!"

Miss Bai's eyes lit up.

"You can go to my place to practice. I usually make connections in Hejian. I only come back to worship the moon after watching the sun. You can gather the five mountain qi, and naturally the yin and yang qi can also be used."

"If you have any questions about your practice, you can always ask me. Excellent! Just come to me and I'll see how you practice."

"Excuse me Miss Bai."

After thanking her, Chen Ji followed Miss Bai and soon arrived at a quiet courtyard.

The house is surrounded by bamboo fences, with some medicinal herbs planted in the yard, a few emerald birds perched by the well, sachets hanging on the four corners of the wooden house, and a futon placed under the eaves, which is simple, elegant and pleasant.

A breeze blew by, and a faint fragrance floated in the air. Just smelling it was refreshing and made my whole body feel relaxed.

"This is a calming incense. I learned this method from another demon. You can practice over there."

Chen Ji sat down as he was told and began to recall the steps of practicing Xuanshan Mengfa. He felt a little nervous and didn't know whether he could succeed in his practice.

Not far away, Miss Bai casually brought a teapot and teacup, skillfully brewed a cup of tea, and looked at Chen Ji quietly, with a bit of anticipation and curiosity.
