Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 35 Hugging the Lord

"you……"

Miss Bai's expression was a little surprised, but she was helpless.

This is what she said herself, so I could only agree to it.

I have no choice but to find someone to learn the art of Fuchuan.

After all, foxes are not omnipotent.

"If it's troublesome, forget it. I just thought it was fun and said it casually. This magic is enough for me."

Chen Ji looked at Miss Bai and couldn't bear to tease her.

But Miss Bai just started to compete with him.

"If I can't even find the technique you want to learn, doesn't that mean my fox clan has no one left? Don't worry, I will definitely find it for you."

"In that case, I'll trouble Miss Bai!"

"You must practice breathing techniques day and night. Practicing is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you will retreat. Techniques are just skills; understanding the nature of heaven and earth is the true essence of the Tao."

Miss Bai looked at Chen Ji for a few seconds and said lightly.

"If I find the Talisman Boat Technique and you can't activate it, that would be bad."

"I see."

"You should practice well in the mountains these few days. I will take care of the things down the mountain."

It seemed that Chen Ji was about to say something.

The white girl asked with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, your accommodation is quite simple. You can refer to other people's and inns. But do you know what kind of room Fox wants?"

"Foxes store and prepare herbs differently from humans. Mister Chen, don't you know this?"

"really."

Chen Ji nodded. This was truly beyond his understanding.

"So, the teacher has been testing the foxes on the mountain these past few days. This will prevent them from slacking off when we come down the mountain."

"That's how it should be."

"Then I'll go."

As soon as Miss Bai finished speaking, she turned into a gust of wind and floated away.

Chen Ji used the Qi-Observing Technique but could not find any trace of Miss Bai performing any magic. He sighed inwardly that she was indeed very skilled, then sat down and began to breathe the five elements of the mountain.

Before I knew it, the morning breeze was blowing, the sky was dim, and it was completely bright.

Chen Ji stood up and felt refreshed.

I hadn't practiced breathing techniques for two days, but when I tried yesterday, I didn't feel awkward at all. Even my five senses were immersed in it.

He didn't even notice the morning dew on his body.

Looking at the morning dew on his body, Chen Ji had an idea. He tried to use the wind-calling technique to gather a water ball half the size of a fist, swallowed it in one gulp, and then took out some dried Polygonatum and ate it.

Not long after, a heat arose in the abdomen.

Chen Ji knew that this was the effect of Polygonatum.

But after feeling it for a moment, there was still surprise in his eyes.

I didn't expect that when combined with morning dew, the effect of Polygonatum odoratum is much stronger than usual.

Could this be the benefit of eating wind and drinking dew?

No wonder the practitioners don’t eat anything until the end.

But that’s not the case. You still need to try a few more times to confirm.

Chen Ji was undecided and planned to try again tomorrow. Now he was going to test the foxes' cultivation.

Just as I was about to leave, something suddenly occurred to me.

He stopped and used the Qi-gazing technique to look at what was in front of him.

This time, Miss Bai was not around. Chen Ji felt the wind in front of him by himself, and he understood more and more the magical effect of the wind-calling technique he learned yesterday.

When competing with the Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple, the wind called by the Taoist priest was wind.

When riding the wind with Miss Bai, the wind you walk on is also the wind.

There is no difference between wind and wind, just the way they are used is different.

Just like now, the invisible wind in front of Chen Ji took shape.

The mountain breeze is tangible, as graceful as a swimming dragon, penetrating the clouds and into the forest.

Gusts of wind, thick and thin, interweave, outlining ink strokes between heaven and earth.

"The wind is coming!"

Chen Ji raised his hand and caught a wisp of wind, and a layer of fresh air enveloped his body.

Take small steps.

He stepped onto the mountain breeze as if he was climbing a building.

One step forward and you're several feet away.

The wind blew through the mountains, and Chen Ji's figure stood in the wind, his clothes fluttering, like a real immortal.

In an instant, he walked out of the mountain where the fox was.

"Even though it is as small as a reed, it soars above the boundless sea. It is as vast and majestic as the wind in the sky, and I don't know where it will end. It is truly heroic!"

This sentence popped up in Chen Ji's mind and he couldn't help but recite it.

The mountain wind was so strong that even the sound could be heard far away.

Hearty laughter came from the distant mountains.

"Great article! I wonder which Taoist friend is coming here on the wind?"

Chen Ji was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The first time he used the wind-calling technique, he failed to use the right measure and ran into another monster's territory.

However, he had dealt with many monsters before and knew that monsters could communicate, so his nervousness flashed away and he stood in the wind and bowed to the source of the sound.

"I am a gentleman invited by the fox tribe in the mountains. I have no intention of disturbing fellow Taoists in their practice, so I will leave now."

"Mr. Fox? Isn't he just a ghost?" The voice sounded a little curious.

"Mr. Su is here too. I'm new here."

"I see. Listening to you reciting the article, I can tell you're indeed talented. Who knows, maybe a few of you will be admitted to the Fox Academy this year."

"I don't know who you are?"

He knows so much about foxes and lives so close to them, so he must be a monster on good terms with them, Chen Ji asked.

"I don't have any introductions. My name is Baojie Jun. I also practice here. I like poetry and prose. If you are interested, please come and have a drink."

Although Chen Ji has some tricks up his sleeve and is not afraid of ordinary monsters and ghosts.

It sounded like this Lord Baojie was a friendly demon, but he still felt that he shouldn't set foot in an unfamiliar demon territory alone.

After thinking about it, I found another excuse.

"I still have to teach Fox, so I'm afraid I don't have much time."

"That's fine. Senior Huai and I will let him know. Fox doesn't mind spending so much time. It would be a shame if we couldn't meet a gentleman like you in person."

Embrace the king's way.

"But how do you inform Senior Huai?"

"I've already informed you. Senior Huai will tell you now."

"what?"

Chen Ji was still stunned in the wind when he suddenly heard the voice of Senior Huai coming from Baojie Jun.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. Since it's Lord Baojie who has invited you, there's nothing to worry about. I've already told the foxes to come back later. You can talk to us peacefully."

The leaf that Senior Huai gave to Chen Ji was slightly warm, and it was indeed the voice of Senior Huai himself.

With Senior Huai's certification, Chen Ji felt relieved and decided to discuss the Dao with this Lord Baojie.

Since I have already entered the Taoist world in Xiantai Mountain, I am considered a member of Xiantai Mountain. I can't just stay with the fox. I also need to see these other monsters.

So he straightened his clothes and asked Baojie Jun how to get there.

"I will pave the way for you, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds and mist in the mountains retreated, leaving only a cloud ladder trail leading to the mountain.

"Sir, you came on the wind, and you should arrive on the clouds."

Baojiejun's voice sounded slowly.

"It's a good technique indeed!"

Chen Ji's Qi-gazing technique couldn't figure out how this was done. He only saw that there were faintly slender leaves supporting the bottom of the cloud steps, but he couldn't recognize what they were.

In the end, it all came down to the profound skills of Lord Baojie.

Soon, Chen Ji walked along the cloud ladder to the open space on the mountain below. As soon as he landed, the cloud ladder quietly dissipated and returned to the sea of ​​clouds in the mountains, but he did not see anyone or monster waiting there.

"I'm here, where are you, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Ji bowed and asked towards the empty space in front of him.

"Mr. Fox, I've been here all the time!"

Baojiejun's voice sounded.

In front of Chen Ji, a bamboo forest swayed in the wind, and sounds came from the forest.

"The bamboo is embracing the joints, so this is how it is! I misunderstood."

Chen Ji suddenly understood.

He just thought it was a nickname for demon cultivators who liked writing and poetry, but he didn't expect that it was actually a group of bamboo demons practicing here.

It's really rare to like an article so much.

"No."

The green bamboo swayed, refuting Chen Ji's words.

"It's not a group of bamboo monsters, but one bamboo monster. This entire bamboo forest is made up of just one bamboo of mine."

As he was speaking, a young figure appeared in the bamboo forest. He waved his sleeves and summoned a few bamboo stools, then bowed to Chen Ji.

"I am a plant that has been cultivated through practice. I possess no valuable possessions. I only have some bamboo rice and bamboo dew to offer. Please come into the forest and taste them, sir."

Chen Ji was already somewhat accustomed to Yao's straightforwardness.

He just said whatever he wanted to say, as if he really had no thoughts on anything, and then he bowed and sat down.

On the table was a small dish of something like corn, with only a few dozen grains, and an inch-long bamboo tube filled with light green liquid that gave off a faint fragrance.

"This is already a very sumptuous treat, thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."

"They are all my belongings. It's not a big deal."

Baojiejun smiled and explained the origins of the things on the table.

"Bamboo rice is the fruit produced after the bamboo blooms. Before practicing cultivation, the bamboo would have to survive a near-death experience when it blooms, leaving only some bamboo rice. After practicing cultivation, although it doesn't kill you, it still has to give up most of its life to leave behind these better bamboo rice."

"Bamboo dew is even more rare. Sir, you should know that the cultivators eat wind and drink dew, which is even more precious than water and rice in the human world, right?"

"Already know."

Chen Ji nodded.

"Bamboo dew is the dew I collect every morning, store in bamboo joints, and blend it with the essence of the sun and moon every day. It takes three years to brew a cup like this."

"Bamboo rice can connect with the spirit, lighten the body and improve qi, while bamboo dew can clear the heart and remove fire poison. Both are useful in spiritual practice."

“It’s really not easy!”

Chen Ji sighed seriously.

This is truly a spiritual material obtained with life and time.

Fortunately, it was a bamboo monster, otherwise the fox would not have the patience to collect and make such things.

But just making friends is too expensive.

So Chen Ji looked at the bamboo monster and bowed slightly.

"I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
