Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 140 Moon Worship Technique

"A tapir? A tapir-fox?"

Chen Ji raised an eyebrow, not understanding what the two demons meant.

Aren't these two the same except for their names?

"Of course it's different."

Miss Bai shook her head.

"The fox-like creature has a strong fox bloodline, while the tapir-like creature has a strong tapir bloodline. The former can study fox magic, while the latter is a descendant of the tapir and is just a minor demon who can use dream magic."

"Can it still be like this?"

Chen Ji was somewhat surprised.

There were two demons, a snake demon from Sendai and a mudfish demon, both of whom wanted to be enhanced through dragon blood.

Chen Ji could understand that demons had such methods, but he never thought that a demon that was not of the same kind would also have this ability.

"The reason is hard to explain in detail, but in short, all beasts in the world have a common ancestor, and foxes and tapirs were once quite close. Strictly speaking, the method of marrying dreams was learned together with foxes."

"That's what the dream-eating tapir explained."

"It was only later, when foxes learned illusion magic and tapirs specialized in dream magic, that the differences gradually emerged."

"Indeed."

Miss Bai nodded, confirming that what the dream-eating tapir said was true.

Chen Ji was astonished and realized that demon cultivators were indeed different from human cultivators.

No wonder both the snake demon and the loach demon now seek out dragon blood; blood ties are still quite useful.

However, this was indeed beyond Chen Ji's understanding of cultivation, so he simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it, only listening to their plans for how to handle it.

The Dream Eater sized up Bai Shijiu's appearance, and after a while, looked at Miss Bai.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a tapir. There's no need to study foxes; they naturally possess the abilities of our Dream Tapir clan. Even after death, they can serve in the underworld. Wouldn't cultivation be easier? Fellow Daoist, why not..."

As the Dream Eater spoke, he saw the White Girl looking at him indifferently. His voice caught in his throat, slowly fading until it disappeared completely.

He paused for a moment before gritting his teeth.

"What do you suggest, fellow Daoist?"

"Make her change back."

"That's a bit difficult."

The dream-bomb shook its head.

"The Dream Eater's bloodline is not just a replacement of the blood, but also includes dreams, which is the soul. Unless we can find a fox clan bloodline that is superior to mine, it can be suppressed."

"You? Then I have one."

Miss Bai replied simply.

After saying that, he took out a jade bottle, inside which floated a fox the size of a fingertip.

Chen Ji looked at it without any reaction, but Meng Mo stared wide-eyed at the bottle, his face full of shock.

"This... a drop of blood takes form, brimming with life force, could this be the blood of a celestial fox?"

"You know the stuff."

Miss Bai nodded, put down the jade bottle, and added a sentence.

"This isn't just any Heavenly Fox blood, it's the blood of a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. Is that enough to expel your bloodline?"

That's enough!

The Dream Eater nodded repeatedly, almost prostrating itself on the ground, completely devoid of its previous arrogance.

"This high fox's bloodline is naturally without issue, but... fellow Daoist, are you really willing to give it up?"

The Baku grabbed the bottle and examined it closely.

"Because celestial foxes are even rarer than true dragons, and their blood is much more precious than that of true dragons."

"Even an ordinary fox could have a chance to embark on the path of immortality if it obtained just a drop. Fellow Daoist, you are also a cultivator. Don't you feel any heartache?"

Miss Bai simply shook her head.

"If we can preserve Bai Shijiu's bloodline, it wouldn't be a waste to use it. It just so happens that she will absorb this fox bloodline sooner or later. Now that she's fused with the Dream Eater, who knows what changes will occur."

He then looked at the Dream Eater.

"I entrust this Heavenly Fox bloodline to you."

"no problem."

The Dream Eater hurriedly nodded and put away its things, then began to use its secret technique to heal Bai Shijiu.

Chen Ji was also seeing such a bloodline fusion operation for the first time, so he watched it with extra care.

The Dream Eater released the Heavenly Fox blood without making any other movements. It chanted a few incantations in a low voice, made hand gestures, and the fox blood burrowed directly into Bai Shijiu's body.

"call!"

There seemed to be a slight whistling sound of wind.

The Blood Fox had already entered Bai Shijiu's body.

Before Chen Ji could make a careful observation, he saw that Bai Shijiu's body position had changed, and he seemed to be sleepwalking as he made other movements.

But the dream hadn't ended.

"what?"

The Dream Eater frowned and looked over, its eyes filled with surprise.

"How could she be making such a move? I didn't do anything. Could it be that she's practicing entering a dream state in her sleep?"

"I know."

Miss Bai turned her gaze back to Bai Shijiu, and only spoke slowly after confirming that she was indeed alright.

"This is the moon-worshiping technique of the fox clan. It uses dance to worship the moonlight and is a secret cultivation method of the fox clan. However, the moon-worshiping technique is already a collection of the noble fox clan, and I have not heard of any of it being scattered outside."

"It seems Bai Shijiu's fate is indeed wondrous; he was actually able to master the Heavenly Fox Techniques through fox blood." "Is that even possible?"

The dream-eating tapir stared wide-eyed in amazement, its eyes filled with envy.

Chen Ji also found it strange.

He merely came to play the role of a fox clan instructor, yet he unexpectedly gained the bloodlines of the Dream Eater and the Celestial Fox, and also obtained a technique that was kept secret only by the fox clan's aristocratic families.

Even Chen Ji couldn't help but feel envious of such good fortune.

As expected of the fox that Judge Lu said had good fortune, this luck is indeed extraordinary.

Just as he was thinking, his eyes flickered and he looked at the book in his mind.

Another page has been added to the "Tales of the Strange".

This time, however, there were only a few words.

"Fox-like tapir"

"In Sendai, there lived a group of foxes who wished to study fox arts. They asked Chen Sheng to teach them. The foxes made great progress, but since they had never taken the imperial examinations, Chen Sheng feared they were too weak. So he invented printing technology and created questions to teach the foxes in their dreams. One fox suddenly had an epiphany in his dream and later refined the blood of the dream-eating tapir, thus becoming a tapir-fox. Two demons were then invited. The tapir said that this was a bloodline technique, which could be cured with the blood of a high-ranking fox within three days. The high-ranking fox tested it with the blood of a celestial fox, and it was indeed effective. He thus became a fox-tamer and also mastered the celestial fox's moon-worshiping technique. Chen Sheng observed that he had a similar experience and also mastered the moon-worshiping technique."

"Moon Worship Technique?"

Chen Ji's eyes flickered, and he recalled the Moon Worship Technique in his mind.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became.

He had previously thought that the Moon Worship Technique was merely a ritual and dance, and wondered why this technique was kept hidden within a noble family.

Now that I've read the explanation, I finally understand the reason.

The dances and rituals of moon worship are merely the outward appearance; the most important purpose is to enhance one's connection with the moonlight.

By absorbing the essence of the moon on a daily basis, it attracts the essence of the moon to form a brand new moon within the body.

In this way, one can refine the moonlight during the day, and at night one can use the moon inside the body to accelerate the absorption of the moonlight. A fox with profound cultivation can cultivate several times faster than other demons and ghosts with this technique.

The most crucial point is...

This moon-worshiping ritual details the process, how to perceive the moon's essence, how to begin absorbing it, and how to shape the moon within the body...

After reading it, Chen Ji even had the idea of ​​trying it out on the spot.

However, this was not a good time. He suppressed his thoughts and continued to look at Bai Shijiu.

After practicing the Moon Worshiping Ritual once, she finally stopped wriggling her body and lay flat on her back, her breathing becoming much more stable.

Miss Bai raised her finger and touched Bai Shijiu's wrist, then nodded after a moment.

"I'm fine now. I feel like I've fallen asleep. Thank you for your help, sir and fellow Daoist."

"It's good that nothing happened. This opportunity wasn't easy to come by."

Chen Ji nodded.

The Dream Eater quickly got up to thank him.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. It's good that this little fox is alright. Otherwise, it would have been my fault if she had ended up like this because of her practice of the Dream Marriage Technique."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something else.

"I will trouble you to inquire further, fellow Daoist. If this fellow Daoist intends to cultivate the Dream Marriage Technique in the future, I can provide her with some more skin and blood as a token of our affinity."

"Ok?"

Chen Ji glanced sideways.

The tapir's fur was shiny and didn't look like it was about to shed its skin, so it must have had other ideas behind its words.

As he spoke, recalling his surprise at seeing the Heavenly Fox Blood earlier, Chen Ji raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps wish for another drop of Heavenly Fox blood to transform the Dream Eater into a Fox Eater?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Bai let out a sneer.

The dream-eating tapir stood there stunned for a long time before stammering.

"Of course not!"

"I just saw that this fellow Daoist had the ability to obtain the blood of the Heavenly Fox, so I thought I'd ask if you could find Boqi's whereabouts."

“Birch.”

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment before he realized what it was.

It is also a legendary beast that feeds on dreams, just like the dream-eating tapir. In some legends, the Birchi can transform into a dream-eating tapir after eating dreams.

Therefore, the purpose of the Dream Eater in searching for traces of Boqi is quite obvious.

"Fellow Daoist, do you also wish to advance further?"

Chen Ji asked slowly.

The dream-eating tapir sighed.

"That's for sure. I only agreed to enter the underworld that day in order to find traces of Boqi, but there has been no news of him all these years."

"I saw that you had taken out the Heavenly Fox Bloodline, and I thought it was extraordinary, so I wanted to ask about it."

"If it's inconvenient, then forget it."

"Fortunately, I remember. If there is any news, I will inform my friend."

After saying that, he looked at the Dream Eater.

"Please keep today's matter a secret for a while, lest the noble families be displeased."

"nature."

The Dream Eater nodded in agreement, without even asking why, before taking his leave and returning to the underworld.

After seeing Mengmo off, Miss Bai looked at Chen Ji and sighed.

"What do you think of Nineteen, sir?"
