Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 49: Fox Fire Like a Dragon (Please Read)

"Sir, are you also practicing the Wall-Opening Technique?"

Miss Bai asked casually.

"Miss Bai saw it?"

"It's not like Bai Qi can do this with the stones on the ground. Other foxes probably don't know this technique either."

"Senior Huai and Mr. Su wouldn't be so bored as to be here mining stones. I think it's only Mr. Chen who is here."

Chen Ji was thinking about how to explain that he had learned the art of opening the wall, but he didn't expect Miss Bai to not ask about this at all. Instead, she was concerned about why there were no traces of using magic to open the stone?

"I made it using the methods of the mountain stonemasons. I wanted Bai Qi to know that even if you know magic, you shouldn't be proud."

"You did a great job, sir."

After listening to this, Miss Bai nodded seriously.

"I've occasionally seen people working on rocks in the mountains before, but I've never thought of taking a fox with me."

"But Mr. Chen also needs to practice diligently. The last few attempts at wall-opening techniques weren't very good."

"Indeed, I initially wanted to carve a human figure, but after using the magic, it didn't work."

“It’s really hard.”

The white girl smiled and shook her head.

"Although the Wall-Opening Technique is a simple technique, it's easy to open and close it on a large scale, but it becomes very difficult to achieve the subtlest level."

As he spoke, he casually summoned a piece of gravel.

"I remember when I was practicing the art of opening walls, I used wood, which was easier. Later, after I was able to form patterns on wood with a single thought, I switched to stone."

"At first, I was similar to you, always blasting away stones. Later, I could carve patterns out of stones, which was considered a minor accomplishment. When I could form patterns like wood with a single thought, that was a major accomplishment."

"this is for you."

Chen Ji looked down and found that Miss Bai had already performed the wall-opening technique while speaking.

The gravel in his hand turned into a lively little fox.

It was much more beautiful than any Chen Ji had ever seen.

"Once you can do this, you will have mastered the art of opening the wall."

Miss Bai shook off the stone chips in her hand and cast a spell, and all the stones on the ground disappeared.

Chen Ji finally came to his senses and thanked him deeply.

"Thank you Miss Bai."

"Nothing, sir, you are teaching Xiaohu, so you really can't fall behind in your own cultivation. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

After saying that, he remembered something.

Asked why Chen Ji didn't see Bai Qi.

Chen Ji then told the two foxes to build the road.

Miss Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Sir, you really can think of a way. It's a good place to cultivate virtue and practice."

"It's hard for them, having to work as a fox at such a young age."

"Tumu Fox? Building roads and bridges, digging and felling trees, Mr. Chen's description is quite apt! We should go check on them later."

Miss Bai smiled, then thought of something and took out a jade slip.

"Mr. Chen, this is the talisman boat technique you requested. I found it for you. You can try it out first. If you feel your magic power is insufficient, don't use it lightly."

"Insufficient mana... How can I tell?"

After hearing this again, Chen Ji thought for a moment and asked the question in his mind.

Miss Bai thought for a moment and looked at Chen Ji.

"You already know how to control fire. Could you please demonstrate it to me? Just use all your strength, no need to worry."

"it is good."

Chen Ji calmed down and prepared to perform the fire control technique seriously.

I have had many opportunities in the past few days and absorbed a lot of the five energies in the mountains. I also want to try how far I can go.

So I thought of the sun and spit it out.

The heat in his chest turned into a fire dragon about ten feet long, circling around Chen Ji, protecting him and looking quite majestic.

After a few circles, Chen Ji's mind moved, and the fire dragon rose into the air again, changing its movements above his head, as if it was about to pounce.

It took dozens of breaths before it faded and dissipated in the air.

"how?"

Chen Ji looked at Miss Bai.

This is the best magic he can use now, and he also wants to hear what Miss Bai has to say about it.

"Sir, you have been practicing Taoism for ten years, right?"

"Exactly."

"That's really good."

Miss Bai smiled.

Listening to Miss Bai's praise, Chen Ji did not feel happy.

I have been practicing Buddhism for ten years, so it is not bad, but it still cannot work under normal circumstances.

However, Chen Ji also wanted to see what it looked like when someone with great magical powers performed his magic, so he bowed and asked Miss Bai.

"Would you mind asking Miss Bai to perform a magic trick to show me what it would be like to have such profound magical powers?"

"Okay."

Miss Bai seemed to have expected this and agreed without hesitation.

Then he looked at Chen Ji with a smile.

"You retreat... Never mind, just come to me."

Miss Bai waved her hand, signaling Chen Ji to take a closer look at her from the side.

Chen Ji followed his instructions and waited for Miss Bai to perform her magic.

The white girl took a breath and puffed out her lips, looking delicate and somewhat adorable.

Then exhale slowly.

"call!"

The voice was very soft, but it made Chen Ji feel his heart palpitating, and he quickly looked at Miss Bai.

Flames also happen to burst out of her mouth.

The red and white flame outlet seemed to be lukewarm and powerless, but it suddenly surged with wind.

The flames seemed to rush up to the sky and transformed into a giant dragon a thousand feet long in mid-air, several times larger than Mount Xiantai.

When the fire dragons coiled together, they revealed the image of a fox with red and peach-blossom eyes, just like the day when Miss Bai turned into a monster to scare people.

The fox's eyes were red and its hair was flowing. Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was surrounded by fire.

The fox-headed dragon body coiled in the air, and Chen Ji felt that even breathing became scorching and unbearable.

Chen Ji turned around and looked at Miss Bai again.

But she was still standing not far away, her eyes clear.

After a few more breaths, he slowly inhaled, probably because he felt that Chen Ji had seen clearly.

The fire dragon in the air turned into red and white flames and was retracted into the white girl's mouth.

Only then did Miss Bai look at Chen Ji.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of this fire control method?" "It's really amazing."

Chen Ji came back to his senses, his eyes full of amazement.

He used to think that his protective fire dragon was pretty good.

But compared with Miss Bai, it is not even decent, it can only be said to be a teasing of a child.

"Sir, you don't have to think so."

Miss Bai smiled.

"Even an ordinary person or demon who has practiced Taoism for a year may not be as proficient in fire control as you, sir. It just so happens that fox fire is also a technique I am good at, so this strange phenomenon occurred."

"But you don't have to worry. Judging from the way you performed the spell just now, you should be able to perform the Talisman Ship Technique in a few months."

"A few months? That's not so bad."

Chen Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

I also have a more concrete understanding of magic power.

Then I thought of something.

"Miss Bai, when I went to Qingfeng Temple to discuss the art, I heard that most water and fire techniques value the dragon form, which is extremely fierce and can suppress the opponent in a fight."

"But I see you..."

"Why a fox, huh?"

The white girl interrupted.

"Exactly."

"This is the principle that the master taught the fox. How come you can't remember it anymore?"

"When did I say that?"

"Master said that no matter how far a fox reaches in its cultivation, it must remember that it is a fox that stands tall and upright. Since it stands tall and upright, isn't it normal for Fox Fire to be a fox?"

Miss Bai said seriously.

"Sir, you are a human, and you have just entered the Dao. You may not be as good as a dragon in fighting, but a fox may not be inferior to a dragon!"

Chen Ji stood there in a daze.

After a while, he bowed.

"Miss Bai is right. It's me who's obsessed."

Miss Bai nodded with satisfaction.

"I have given you the techniques you need to learn, and I have explained everything I need to know about the Wall-Opening Technique. The demons will gather for another night, so you can go and practice. I will call you back tomorrow."

"Let me go check on Bai Qi and the others first."

"Two earth and wood foxes, what an interesting pair! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

There happened to be wind.

After saying this, Miss Bai walked away on the wind and disappeared from Chen Ji's sight.

Only then did Chen Ji look carefully at the little fox in his hand.

Although it is a stone sculpture, it avoids all cracks and rough areas, leaving only the most delicate and fleshy parts.

Holding it in my hand now feels like jade.

"It is indeed an extraordinary technique."

Chen Ji decided to find some suitable wood tomorrow and practice diligently as Miss Bai said.

As for fire control.

Just now, after watching Miss Bai perform, I felt like I understood a lot too. If I think about it more, I should be able to make progress.

Chen Ji was thinking about something and had already walked to Miss Bai's courtyard. He found the place where he had sat before and continued to absorb the five energies of the mountains.

This time it felt different.

I only felt that the five energies in the mountains seemed to have taken shape and poured into my body like a dragon or a fox, absorbing much faster than before.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Chen Ji's ears moved, as if he heard some other sound.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the warm glow of sunset on the horizon, and Miss Bai was standing not far away with a bag in her hand.

The wind blew the hem of the clothes, making a slight rustling sound.

"Mr. Chen, have you finished your training?"

Miss Bai looked over and spoke with a smile.

"I was originally planning to wait until you were done before discussing it, but now is the perfect time to hand it over to you."

"what is this?"

"The Polygonatum you found last time."

"I was going to move the medicine house down the mountain, so I took it with me. I prepared it myself, and I can exchange it for some things I need later."

"Thank you Miss Bai!"

Chen Ji thanked him sincerely, but then he came to his senses.

"Wait? Isn't the demon gathering tomorrow? Why are we leaving now?"

Miss Bai looked at her in surprise and shook her head slightly.

"Sir, haven't you noticed the time? You've been practicing here for a whole day and night!"

Chen Ji was stunned.

He felt that he had only been sitting there for a short while, and judging by the sky, he thought that two or three hours had passed, but he never imagined that a whole day and a night had passed.

"No wonder..."

"What's so strange?"

“No wonder people say that time does not matter when practicing. It has been a thousand years in the real world. It is indeed true.”

Miss Bai couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

"If you are like this, sir, it really can't be considered a thousand years. Even if it is a powerful demon with great Taoist skills, it may take more than ten years to practice at a time, which is not considered a thousand years."

"So what does it count as?"

Chen Ji asked curiously.

Miss Bai looked at the distant mountains with a frown on her face.

"Mr. Chen, have you ever seen mountains and rivers take on different shapes?"

"Of course I know. There are places like Turtle Mountain, Elephant Trunk Hill, and Lady Mountain in the human world. Most of them are named because they have physical forms."

Chen Ji answered, but he was confused.

"Why did Miss Bai suddenly ask this?"

"The cultivation of plants and trees has a timeline to follow, but the cultivation of mountains and rivers has no timeline. Often, it takes more than a thousand years for even a slight change to occur. Once a physical form is achieved, tens of thousands of years may have passed without you even realizing it."

"One must absorb the essence of the sun and moon for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and occasionally obtain spiritual energy before one can officially enter the Dao."

"This is what it means to cultivate without time, yet it has been a thousand years in this world."

Chen Ji felt dazed as he listened. He had never known before that these tangible mountains and rivers were actually spiritual spirits. It seemed that he should visit one or two of them if he had the chance in the future.

I was about to express my feelings when I heard Miss Bai speak.

"Let's go! If we don't go now, we'll miss the monster banquet!"

After saying this, a breeze came.

So Chen Ji didn't think much about it and followed Miss Bai, walking on the wind and heading towards an unknown direction.
