Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 56: Land Knowledge (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Chen Ji waited for a moment.

It’s not that I don’t want to answer, but I’m waiting for the mountain god’s reaction.

Miss Bai had said before that the mountain god had sensed it on Xiantai Mountain. This matter concerns the enthronement, but I don’t know if I can tell Miss Bai.

The mountain wind was quiet, and there seemed to be a faint sound coming from it.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Ji understood.

The mountain god wanted to use the name of the fox clan to deal with this matter, and it would be unfair to Miss Bai if he concealed it.

So he briefly told what he had said to the mountain god.

"Such a method is truly indescribable!"

"But I feel guilty for not communicating with Miss Bai in the name of the Fox Clan."

"No problem. If there are indeed a few who can be admitted to the Fox School, I will lend them to them. Maybe Xiantai Mountain can become a famous mountain in the future."

"By then, our clan won't be considered wild foxes anymore. Perhaps we'll even have a nickname like Qingqiu or Tushan, which would be an advantage."

"Xiantai Mountain Fox, what do you think?"

Miss Bai looked at Chen Ji.

"It's not as nice as Sendai Fox."

Chen Ji said seriously.

The white girl chuckled.

"Sir, you've actually chosen a title. I'm afraid you don't know why Qingqiu and Tushan have such titles?"

"Miss Bai said last time that it would be enough if a celestial fox appeared in the tribe."

"Heavenly Fox..."

Miss Bai looked up at Jiuxiao, a glint of divine light flashing in her eyes.

"Mr. Chen, do you know how to become a celestial fox?"

"Of course I don't know."

"Well……"

Miss Bai sighed and said slowly.

"Foxes in the wilds are demons, but those who cultivate themselves become fox spirits, and only those who seize the good fortune of heaven and earth can become celestial foxes."

"If that's the case, you probably don't have any perception. I'll just put it another way."

"Ordinary fox demons only have one tail. After practicing for hundreds of years and improving their cultivation, they can add another tail. It takes even longer to add more tails after that. When they have nine tails, they become celestial foxes."

"When one reaches the realm of the Sky Fox, if one transforms, with the Big Dipper wrapped around its tail and the Heavenly Law in its mouth, they become like dragons and phoenixes, divine beasts that seize the blessings of heaven and earth. It would be difficult for the Fox Clan to produce one in ten thousand years."

Chen Ji also looked up at the Big Dipper in the sky.

"Can it wrap around Beidou's tail? It's a really big fox, much bigger than the dragon that Miss Bai transformed from her fox fire."

"Mr. Chen, you are too kind. My fox fire is just a magic. How can it compare with the power of the celestial fox?"

"I believe Miss Bai will be able to become a celestial fox in the future."

Chen Ji said slowly.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Since it can be repaired, it can always be accomplished. Why can't it be you?"

Miss Bai couldn't help but look at Chen Ji sideways.

"Why do you look at me like that, Miss Bai?"

"Thinking about what you said to the mountain god, and that I could become a celestial fox, I wanted to ask if I could ask you directly for a seal of silence to see if I look like a celestial fox."

"what?"

Chen Ji was stunned.

He was not unfamiliar with the idea of ​​asking for a seal on his mouth, as the monster had just mentioned it at the mountain god's place.

But ordinary monsters ask for their mouths to be sealed just to change their shapes.

Miss Bai actually wants to be sealed and transformed into a celestial fox. How much face does it take to do that?

I don’t know what the consequences will be if I really say it.

I heard that ordinary people will be in great trouble if they say something that is not in line with their own fortune and luck when they are asked to speak. In serious cases, they may even lose their lives.

If I really seal out a celestial fox, I'm afraid I will lose the chance to be a colleague with Lu Pan?
Maybe I will turn into nothingness like this...

"Never mind, never mind, I was just saying it casually."

Seeing that Chen Ji was really thinking about it, Miss Bai waved her hand hurriedly.

"I'm afraid even the Queen Mother of Mount Tai can't seal the Sky Fox with her mouth, so sir, don't even think about trying."

"Then I don't want to think about it."

Chen Ji withdrew his gaze and let it go quickly.

But I still feel a bit curious when looking at Miss Bai. It seems that she didn't show her tail when she transformed into a monster before. I don't know how many tails Miss Bai has practiced.

"Mr. Chen, is there anything else?"

"I want to ask Miss Bai what level of cultivation she is."

"Of course it's still one. Okay, it's time to go back. Senior Huai and the others should have prepared some hangover soup."

After saying this, he left again with the wind.

"..."

Chen Ji blinked.

I always feel that Miss Bai doesn't seem to be telling the truth.

But Miss Bai had already left again, so it was not easy to ask any more questions.

He stepped onto the cloud again and returned to the fox in a few steps.

When Luo Xiafeng came, he saw the fox, ghost, and squirrel sitting in a circle in front of Senior Huai, warming a wine jug by the campfire in front of them.

There were two empty low tables with wine bowls on them, which must have been left for them.

"Miss Bai, Mr. Chen, please sit down and finish your hangover soup."

Senior Huai smiled and asked them to sit down, and asked Squirrel to pour a bowl and bring it over.

It was just as Miss Bai guessed.

Chen Ji smelled the taste. It was different from the sour soup in the human world. It was indeed very clear and crisp, as if it was brewed by something in the mountains.

After taking a sip, I felt mostly sober and my whole body felt refreshed.

I couldn't help but ask how this was done, and it worked pretty well.

"I don't know. This is wine brewed by the deer demon. I thought it was interesting so I exchanged some."

Mr. Su smiled.

Chen Ji nodded, then realized what Mr. Su said and couldn't help laughing.

"Can wine cure a hangover?"

"The world is so vast, and there are indeed many wonders. The Deer Demon never thought he could brew such wine. He also can't remember what he put in it. I'm afraid he won't be able to drink it next year."

Chen Ji was amazed.

After drinking another glass, I felt my mind was even clearer. I felt that this deer demon was indeed a genius, able to brew such a hangover-relieving wine.

If I had a recipe, I could take it to the herbal medicine shop at the foot of the mountain.

In Tiejin Town, there are mostly blacksmith shops and taverns, so it should be a good business.

"That's possible." Miss Bai nodded.

"Then I can try to restore the formula."

"Miss Bai has such ability?"

Chen Ji looked at it in confusion.

"Foxes also need to understand pharmacology when making medicine. Deer demons brew wine using only mountain herbs. You should be able to test it out by tasting it a few times."

"Then leave them all for Miss Bai."

Chen Ji looked at what was left in the pot, which was only about a dozen cups, so he stopped drinking.

Anyway, I'm almost sober now, so there's no point in drinking more.

After Mr. Su and the others knew that the wine was useful, they stopped pouring more and moved the wine jug away from the campfire to prevent the smell of alcohol from affecting Miss Bai's judgment.

"Since everyone is back, let's disperse."

Senior Huai pulled away the branches and spoke slowly.

"No hurry, I have a glass of good wine here, I want to drink with you."

The white girl stopped them with a smile.

He took out a cup of earthly nectar given by the mountain god. As it flowed, it emitted five-colored light and a hint of alluring alcohol.

Although Chen Ji had obtained a gourd of elixir, he had not yet opened it. This was also the first time he had looked at it so closely.

I could smell the strange fragrance and the flowing colors. It was indeed a wine as good as Yuejiang wine.

But thinking that he still had a full gourd, he waved his hand again.

"This is too precious. Miss Bai should keep it for yourself. If you can cultivate for a hundred years, you should be able to get closer to the Sky Fox."

"Exactly. I'd like to share a glass of the other fine wine. This is only one glass, and it wouldn't be enough. Miss Bai, just keep it for yourself."

"Even if you don't drink it, other demons will be willing to exchange it for a lot of things. If you really drink it, it would be a waste."

The demons and ghosts found it hard to accept, but Miss Bai smiled.

"A hundred years of cultivation would be extremely boring without you all by my side. Besides, I will be going down the mountain with Mr. Chen tomorrow. This cup of wine will serve as a token of my practice."

"So fast?"

Chen Ji was in a daze for a moment, thinking that Miss Bai was going back to the mountain to stay for a while.

But I never thought that I would have to go down the mountain tomorrow.

"I originally came back after finishing the work at the foot of the mountain. I have already waited two more days for the demon gathering. Now it is time to go back."

Miss Bai then asked Chen Ji.

"Sir, do you have anything else to do in the mountains?"

“But there isn’t one.”

"Then let's go down the mountain. It should take some time for a fox to watch a human."

"Follow Miss Bai's arrangements."

Chen Ji nodded.

Mr. Su, however, looked worried and calculated the days.

"Mr. Chen and Miss Bai are going down the mountain together? What about the fox's cultivation? There are less than a hundred days left before the fox school exam."

“I will be back.”

Miss Bai said.

"A few foxes that are practicing are fine, but I will take them down to teach them how to transform if they are not familiar with it. The other foxes are practicing in the mountains, so I will have to trouble Senior Huai and Mr. Su to take care of them."

"If anything happens, please notify me to come back."

"That's good."

Mr. Su relaxed his brows and was no longer so worried.

Senior Huai shook the branches and leaves, not surprised.

"I understand. Miss Bai, you can go on your own."

The Seven Friends of Sendai were very envious.

"I don't know when I'll be able to have the strength of Miss Bai."

"When you grow up a little more and have more time to practice, you will have it."

The white girl looked at them with a smile.

"There's no need to rush in your cultivation. You can always succeed. Drink this cup of Earth Spirit Liquor and start cultivating well."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and dozens of jade cups appeared on the table.

"The earth's elixir cannot be touched by metal or iron, so just divide it between cups and drink it. Even if it's just a drop, it's still mysterious and powerful."

The white girl said with a smile.

All the demons and ghosts bowed solemnly.

"Thank you, Miss Bai."

Not every monster would be willing to share such a natural treasure. Even if there is only a drop, it is worth a thousand pounds of friendship.

Just as Chen Ji was about to refuse, he heard Miss Bai's voice.

"Mr. Chen, please don't refuse. That pot is yours, and this cup is my token of my appreciation. Besides, this drop is enough."

"Ok?"

Chen Ji was a little confused and didn't understand how one drop could be enough.

But Miss Bai had already gone to explain to the demons nearby, so she had no choice but to raise her head and drink it with doubts.

A bean-sized drop of liquid slid into the cup.

Something that was supposed to moisturize the lips but it didn't.

But after taking a bite, Chen Ji realized how wrong he was.

Drinking this earthly nectar is a completely different experience from drinking moon wine.

The five-colored breath exploded in his mouth, and the breath was churning, which almost made Chen Ji choke and cough.

The scorching air gushed out like a mountain fire erupting and lava flowing.

In a blink of an eye, all the trees sprouted and the life was full of vitality.

It is also like the sound of thousands of metals clashing against each other, the sound is so eerie that even the bones in the body tremble.

In just a few breaths, the five elements had rotated completely.

The alcohol's effects surged up and impacted all of his internal organs, seemingly shifting their positions.

In a trance, Chen Ji seemed to see the mountain god laboriously collecting the aura of spiritual plants in the mountains, condensing the five energies, and using the earth veins to condense them into wine.

But the benefits are also obvious.

I just felt that the meridians in my body widened and my body became much stronger.

When I came to my senses, I understood why Miss Bai said that only one drop of this wine would be enough.

Just one drop is so painful. If you really drink the whole cup in one gulp, you will probably lose half your life, right?
No wonder Miss Bai asked him to hand it over to Lu Pan.

Chen Ji sighed with emotion, and a new chapter appeared in the Records of Strange Stories.

"Earthly Liquor"

"Xiantai Mountain is full of demons and ghosts. There was a demon banquet. Chen wanted to enter, but the demons, sensing his presence, made things difficult for him. The Xiantai fox said Chen was good at helping demons and ghosts, so he allowed him to enter. The mountain god begged for a title, but the demons were unable to stop him. Chen then offered a plan, and the mountain god was delighted. He gave him a pot of earth spirits, which, after drinking, allowed him to understand the laws of the land."
