I am a wandering immortal in the mortal realm.

After Sister Hu finished inhaling and exhaling the moonlight, she opened her eyes and was so startled that she almost jumped up.

"Where did this hairy monster come from?"

Turning my head again, my eyes lit up.

Under the bright moonlight, the Taoist leaned against the cassia tree, looking as graceful as an immortal, and was looking at him with a half-smile.

"Wow!!!" Hu Xiaomei exclaimed in surprise, then burst into tears, "Big sister, I'm doomed! I've definitely gone mad! I'm going to die! Waaaaah..."

Sister Hu was incredibly clever; she immediately recognized it as the Taoist's doing. She asked softly, "Master Taoist, are you alright?"

The Taoist priest smiled and nodded: "I must thank you, fellow Taoist, for the wisp of moonlight that helped me break through!"

Sister Hu's eyes revealed deep envy. This is what it means to be human. You are truly blessed by heaven. Even though you are so weak, you still have such good fortune!

Although the Taoist was being polite, it knew perfectly well that when it absorbed and exhaled the moonlight, it had no ability to give it to others.

My contribution was at most to cause the moonlight to descend.

The moon is bright and the moon is full, so why is it today, not yesterday or tomorrow?

Ultimately, everything is determined by the Taoist's own destiny and fortune!

Sister Hu scolded Little Sister Hu, then turned and asked, "Master Daoist, were the changes in Little Sister Hu also your doing?"

Shen Yuan touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed: "I just comprehended a 'Transformation' supernatural power, and I was itching to try it out, so I just casually gave it a shot, and I never expected it to turn out like this!"

Sister Hu was startled: "Could there be some problem?"

"Fellow Daoist, don't be anxious!" Shen Yuan said hastily when he saw the anxiety in its eyes. "My method of transformation contains the meaning of the earth bearing all things and endless life. It focuses on healing and circulation. For Fellow Daoist Xiao Hu, it is actually beneficial and harmless."

Sister Hu exclaimed in surprise, "It's so mysterious?"

Foxes are close to nature and naturally know what creation is. However, this kind of supernatural power to create and harmonize yin and yang has always been unique to innate deities. Now that it has been mastered by a human, it somehow reminds it of the ancient dragon master, the Azure Emperor.

Shen Yuan, however, humbly smiled and said, "The Way of Transformation has infinite wonders and applications. I have only just begun to understand it and am far from having mastered it."

"That's amazing!"

The fox was genuinely impressed, but also felt a little disappointed.

It took it more than ten years of arduous cultivation to learn a method of creating illusions by exhaling mist, and even that was sometimes effective and sometimes not. Not to mention someone like a Taoist who could manipulate life and death at will.

Is the gap between humans and demons on the path of cultivation truly as vast as that chasm?

However, she concealed this emotion very quickly, and then said, "Then, Daoist Master, is this all the equipment my sister can have?"

Sister Hu figured it out. The Taoist's method of transformation should not harm her younger sister. In fact, it might even have some benefits that she didn't know about. It was just that the "hairy monster's" creation was really an eyesore.

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "The reason why Fellow Daoist Hu is like this is because the essence in his body has suddenly increased and cannot be contained, so it is manifested on his muscles, bones, skin and hair. As long as he regulates his breathing and circulates it to contain this essence, the hair on his body will soon return to normal."

"But this..."

Sister Hu looked troubled, unsure how to explain to the Taoist priest. Seeing her younger sister crying so hard she could barely breathe, she became even more flustered.

The Taoist priest noticed the hesitation in the other person's eyes and considerately said, "However, this matter arose because of me, so let me lend a hand to Fellow Daoist Xiao Hu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious light suddenly shone in his eyes, and Daoist charm flowed throughout his body. His aura changed, transforming into a natural, wild, and untamed aura that made people want to get closer.

A wondrous method arose spontaneously, but this time he didn't exhale vital energy; instead, he pointed a finger and uttered, "Transform!"

The power of creation merged with the power of words, and a decree was conjured out of thin air. The power flowed endlessly, continuously acting on Hu Xiaomei.

Then you could see that the fur on its body, which had originally covered its eyes, began to grow even more wildly.

Before long, like a silkworm transforming into a butterfly, it wrapped itself into a thick cocoon.

Sister Hu exclaimed in surprise, "Master Dao, you've got it backwards!"

The Taoist priest's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "Fellow Daoist, please take a look!"

Sister Hu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned her head to look. She saw that the thick callus had somehow detached from her little sister's body.

Hu Xiaomei shuddered, like a fledgling bird breaking out of its cocoon.

"Chirp chirp—"

The tuft of cocoon was blown away by the wind. Hu Xiaomei stretched and yawned, letting out a long, pleasurable moan.

But when Sister Hu saw the changes in it, she couldn't suppress the shock in her eyes.

It should be noted that although Hu Xiaomei is a descendant of the "Gengjin Fox", her bloodline has become diluted. Strictly speaking, she is still a mixed fox. In addition, she is lazy and loves to eat. Her body is short, stout, and fat, far less agile than the other foxes.

In just a short while, all the fat and flesh on its body disappeared, its limbs and bones became incredibly strong, and all the stray hairs on its body fell off and disappeared, replaced by a dark black color, which, when illuminated by the moonlight, faintly shimmered with a metallic sheen.

Its aura was also becoming more and more restrained, and its spirit was far superior to before. Just by stretching and yawning, it exuded the charm of a tiger, leopard, eagle and falcon. Its temperament had undergone a tremendous change.

Sister Hu was stunned. Although the "Gengjin Fox" had high talent, she knew that the blood of mixed foxes was actually the biggest obstacle for her little sister to become a battle fox.

The fact that the other party has undergone such a complete transformation means that they must have received some extraordinary good fortune and have become fully capable of ascending to the heavens.

Sister Hu felt a mixture of envy and pride, her eyes welling up with tears as she softly called out, "Little sister!"

If we were to say who it cares about most in this world, besides its grandmother in the mountains, it would probably be this little sister.

The former Hu Xiaomei was innocent and carefree, loving to eat and play, but limited by her bloodline, her potential was destined to be limited. However, she also awakened the ability to smell treasures. If she had no way to protect herself, she would be like a child carrying gold through the world, easily devoured by others.

He dared not slack off in his cultivation for even a day, and even considered taking risks to be granted the title of Fox Immortal. Wasn't this also partly a plan to protect this little sister in the future?

Now that my younger sister has changed her constitution, if given time, she will become a War Fox, and there will be very few in the world who can defeat her.

It was like raising a child who had left home and suddenly no longer needed her. While Sister Hu was relieved, a faint sense of loss still involuntarily showed deep in her eyes.

"Big sister!" Little Hu stretched and turned to look at Big Sister Hu, excitedly saying, "Look, look! I'm not ugly anymore!"

It jumped onto the stone table and sat down, its fox tail swaying behind it, its two front paws constantly licking its fur, clearly enamored with its color.

"Yes, my little sister has become more beautiful." Sister Hu composed herself and sincerely praised her, then suddenly asked, "Is there anything wrong with your health?"

Hu Xiaomei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then chuckled, "I feel more energetic, oh, and..."

As it spoke, it suddenly stretched out its front paws, its paw pads contracted, and its claws pierced through the bone, their surfaces shimmering with a golden luster, as if they were made of gold and jade, faintly exuding a chilling aura.

Sister Hu felt a chill on the back of her neck. For some reason, just a moment when the other party revealed its sharp claws, she actually had the feeling of facing the mountain lord in its true form.

If it weren't for his younger sister standing in front of him, he probably would have run away in fear by now.

"Elder sister, please take a look!"

Following the sound, Sister Hu looked over and saw Little Sister Hu stretch out her claw and scratch the table. The stone table, which was several inches thick, cracked into several pieces with a loud bang, as if tofu had been sliced ​​by a sharp blade.

Sister Hu was dumbfounded. Foxes are not known for their strength, but what Little Sister Hu just did was clearly not a supernatural power, but rather physical strength.

This alone makes it far superior to any ordinary beast that has become a spirit.

"This...this is the Gengjin Fox?" Sister Hu murmured twice.

Hu Xiaomei squinted her eyes, looking somewhat smug.

But the Taoist's voice suddenly rang out: "Little Sister Hu, you've damaged public property! A major demerit, and your wages will be deducted!"

Hu Xiaomei snapped, "Daoist Master, do you have to be such a spoilsport?"

The Taoist priest remained expressionless: "Why did you have to ruin my table when there are so many stones on the ground? Do you want me to have to squat to eat from now on?"

Sister Hu was embarrassed. Only now did she realize that Yiyuan Temple was extremely poor and had nothing at home. The last stone table had been destroyed by her younger sister. She felt ashamed to be the head steward!

"Master, my sister didn't mean it," Sister Hu pleaded softly, fearing the Taoist's wrath. "How about my sister and I compensate together?"

The Taoist priest wasn't trying to cause trouble for Hu Xiaomei; he just suddenly remembered the ten taels of silver he had lost.

This unreliable Geng Jin Fox!

Hu Xiaomei, however, bared her teeth and, relying on her superior physique, cried out, "Master Daoist, I challenge you to a duel!"

"Little sister, don't be rude!" Sister Hu scolded it.

The Taoist priest laughed and replied, "Very well!"

Sister Hu was somewhat surprised and turned to look at him, only to hear the Taoist change his tone: "However, since I accepted your bet, we need to place some stakes."

Hu Xiaomei's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, and she excitedly replied, "Alright, Daoist Master, what are you asking for the bet?"

The Taoist priest spoke up: "This humble Taoist loves to eat meat. If I win, for the next three months, all meat used in the temple must be hunted by you, fellow Taoist!"

"Okay!" Hu Xiaomei agreed quickly, then suddenly asked, "Master Dao, do you like to eat rats?"

Shen Yuan: "...There's really no need for rats!"

"What if the fox wins?"

The Taoist chuckled, "If you win, I will not pursue the matter of the stone table any further."

Sister Hu said helplessly from the side, "Little sister, aren't you just being ridiculous? You were able to undergo a complete transformation thanks to the Taoist master, so how could you possibly be a match for him?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaomei's eyes darted around, and she said, "Big sister is right, Daoist, it's really unfair for the two of us to fight like this."

The Taoist priest asked with a smile, "Then, Little Fox, what do you think would be a fair way to conduct the competition?"

Hu Xiaomei thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution, and she was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks.

Sister Hu glanced at the Taoist priest, then at her younger sister, her lips moved, but she ultimately dared not say anything more.

It was the Taoist priest who took the initiative to say, "How about this, we won't use magic. I will keep my hands and feet still and let you attack me. As long as you can touch me, you will win."

Before Hu Xiaomei could speak, Hu Dage said first, "This won't do, Daoist Master, it's too unfair to you."

The Taoist priest laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am by no means an overconfident person."

Upon hearing this, Sister Hu hesitated to say anything more, fearing that saying too much might cause the Taoist priest to misunderstand and think she looked down on him.

Hu Xiaomei looked at the Taoist priest: "Master Taoist, are you sure?"

A ruler's word is his bond!

"good!"

The two agreed to a contest and stood in their respective positions, while Sister Hu, standing to the side, also became nervous.

It was indeed very curious to see just how much better the younger sister was after her transformation compared to before.

"Master Dao, be careful!"

Hu Xiaomei took the initiative, leaping into the air. Her figure, reflected under the bright moon, resembled a full moon, incredibly swift and powerful. With a slash of her sharp claws, she created a gust of wind.

It must be said that Hu Xiaomei is now much more sharp and agile than before.

In the past, even if the Taoist priest had a wooden sword, he might not have been a match for Hu Xiaomei now.

After entering the Dao, the Daoist also studied the "Heavenly Decree" and gradually understood the wonder of "the interaction between Heaven and man, and the subtle signs of omens."

Any external disturbance will cause subtle, predictive changes in the body and mind.

The saying "the cicadas sense the autumn wind before it blows" illustrates this principle.

The fox's body didn't move, but the moment its energy stirred, he moved as well, casually dodging a claw, truly as graceful as a gazelle hanging by its horns, exquisitely skillful.

The fox was startled and turned to retreat, but when it turned its head, it met the Taoist's smiling eyes.

In an instant, it felt as if it were looking up at a towering mountain, and a sense of powerlessness arose in its heart. Finally, its body went limp and it fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch!" Hu Xiaomei cried out, then added, "Master Dao, you're cheating!"

The Taoist priest did not pursue the matter, but only asked, "Why do you say that, fellow Taoist?"

Hu Xiaomei said, "We clearly said we weren't allowed to use magic."

The Taoist priest laughed and said, "But I did not use any supernatural powers or magic just now."

"That's impossible!" Hu Xiaomei exclaimed in disbelief. "Then why did I suddenly lose all my strength after just one glance at you? Daoist Master, you must have secretly used magic!"

The Taoist laughed and explained, "This is the wonder of sensing the four seasons and understanding the six energies. Although you only glanced at me, my spirit was captivated by you. Under my attack on your mind and energy, your breath became restless. And with your breath restless, you naturally have no strength to continue."

He paused, then continued, "Have you not heard the saying, 'The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little'? All things in the universe strive for the balance of Yin and Yang. Once this balance is broken, defeat is inevitable. Just now, I used your own words against you, and defeated you with my own spirit..."

Hu Xiaomei: "..."

It's so profound, I don't understand it at all, but for some reason I think it's amazing!

But Sister Hu on the other side was struck dumb, her body trembling, and she kept muttering, "The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough... The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough..."

Although it had read many books, it had never deeply pondered this sentence before. Now, having witnessed the Taoist's wondrous method and heard the profound theory of Yin-Yang balance, the two ideas resonated with each other. Suddenly, it was as if a silver bottle had shattered in its mind, and a flash of inspiration streaked across the sky. The bottleneck that had not loosened for so long suddenly showed signs of collapsing...

The human and the fox exchanged a glance and looked towards Sister Hu. They saw a wisp of green energy emanate from her body, enveloping her completely, and her figure subtly revealed a wondrous transformation.

"Oh no, Big Sister is about to transform!"

The Taoist was also surprised. He had originally intended to seal the fox into a human form, but unexpectedly, the fox had managed to transform naturally through its own abilities.

He nodded and sighed, "Yes, those who persevere will be rewarded; Heaven has ultimately not failed Fellow Daoist Hu's sincere heart!"
