The Little Fox's Immortal Cultivation Encyclopedia

The fox crouched under the tree, idly poking at the soapberries that had fallen to the ground, the round balls rolling back and forth under its paws.

The queen bee sat upright, then suddenly her eyes flickered as she looked into the depths of the woods.

A scouting bee flew back quickly, excitedly approaching the fox, circling it once to the left and once to the right, its abdomen heaving violently.

The fox resisted the urge to look at the queen bee.

The queen bee smiled and said, "My lord, this child has found the snake, but he was unable to lure it here."

With a flick of its paw, the fox sent Wuhuan flying: "Go."

……

"My body hurts so much." Da Liu felt like her whole body was being cut by knives, and when her abdomen rubbed against the ground, the pain was so intense that she almost fainted.

Its head was throbbing, and it looked around for help. Erlang was not by its side, only tiny specks of light floating in the air, gathering towards it.

Big Willow wasn't interested in them, so it changed direction and continued crawling.

"Um? 』

Its body suddenly became immobile. It swayed from side to side, feeling the friction between its scales and the ground, but it couldn't move forward. After a moment of contemplation, it tried to arch its neck again, but still to no avail.

It turned around in confusion and saw a figure radiating immense warmth.

Da Liu shook his head and realized it was a fox, pressing its paw against its tail.

It hissed, "Fox, you stepped on my tail."

The fox tilted its head, examining the snake closely. The snake's scent remained unchanged, but its appearance had drastically changed. Its body had shrunk from two zhang to two chi, its previously cloudy eyes had become clear, and its behavior was also quite different; it didn't bite the fox immediately.

The snake hissed again.

The fox looked around, and the shrew and the queen bee only had wariness and doubt in their eyes, clearly unable to understand the snake language.

Fortunately, there was still sound.

A few breaths later, the fox cleared its throat and, mimicking a sound, hissed, "Eek...hiss?"

The snake paused for a moment, then leaned its head closer, looking at the fox with concern: "Fox, is something stuck in your throat? I can crawl in and help you remove the bone."

It's difficult. To the fox, snakes only hiss, but the meanings they express are vastly different. Trying to master them immediately is asking too much of the fox.

The fox had no choice but to switch to human language, hoping the snake would understand: "Who are you? Do you remember what just happened?"

"I am Da Liu. What is it?" The snake paused, then propped itself up. "Fox, you can speak human language. Have you seen Erlang?"

"Who is Erlang?"

"Erlang is Erlang."

The fox was speechless, then pulled its tail out: "You should take a nap first, and we'll talk when you wake up."

"Okay." Da Liu obediently curled up into a ball. "Then I'm going to sleep."

A strange fragrance spread, and the fox closed its eyes, quietly slipping into Da Liu's memory.

The moon was bright and the breeze was gentle. A round-faced man was carrying a load on his shoulder as he walked along the mountain path. He raised his arm, and a small, dark green snake was coiled around it.

Seeing Erlang looking over, Da Liu leaned close affectionately and licked his face with her tongue.

The man chuckled softly, reaching out to stroke the snake's scales. He then pulled a newborn mouse from his carrying pole and placed it near the snake's mouth. Da Liu gently opened its mouth and deftly swallowed the mouse, its sharp teeth perfectly avoiding his fingers.

The scene freezes here. Suddenly, a shadow appears, obscuring the cold moonlight.

The man looked up and saw a jagged, disheveled monster standing before him. Without uttering a word, the monster's muscular hands gripped his neck, lifting the man up.

The monster seemed to be holding something in its other hand, and without saying a word, it shoved it into the man's mouth.

Da Liu's scales unfurled, and it bit into the monster's body, causing the world to spin around.

The illusion dissipated, and Da Liu awoke with a start. This memory made it anxious: "Fox, I have to go. Erlang is still waiting for me."

"Wait a minute." The fox pressed down on the snake's tail again. "I've seen that monster before, but Erlang isn't around."

Da Liu said, "Then I'll go find him too. Without me, Erlang won't be able to earn money and won't have anything to eat."

The fox exclaimed in surprise, "You can even make money?"

"I'm a great dancer." Da Liu stood up, wanting to show the fox, but then collapsed back to the ground. "My body hurts, I can't dance."

The Yin energy was still surging within Da Liu's body, invading every inch of its skin.

The fox carefully separated a strand of magic power, as thin as a hair, and injected it into Da Liu's body. Da Liu's body stiffened, and the fox clearly sensed that wherever the magic power touched, the snake's flesh and blood, along with the Yin energy, dissolved.

The mother shrew stared blankly, while the queen bee, keenly aware of the fox's actions, commanded, "Send all the soapberries over there."

The swarm of bees flew over in a dense mass, piling the soapberries into a small mountain. The snake didn't hold back either; it opened its mouth and swallowed half of them in one gulp.

Hiss. As soon as it entered his stomach, Da Liu struggled painfully on the ground, his body stiff and twisting wildly, his belly scales grinding against the ground, and his tail tip sweeping wildly around, with streaks of black blood seeping from his scales.

The fox realized that after being attacked by the fox, it floated outside the willow's body. The evil energy that was easily dispelled had completely dissipated, and the remaining yin energy had merged with the snake's flesh and bone marrow. If it were to forcibly remove it with magic power, it would be tantamount to skinning the snake alive.

The fox remained calm, recalling the day it first formed its inner core. At that time, the voice said that yin energy was stronger at night, because the essence of the sun was pure and could suppress yin energy.

After absorbing the essence of the sun, the fox had already refined it into its own magical power. Perhaps this is why its magical power retained the characteristics of the sun's essence, resulting in such devastating and overwhelming suppression, as if it were a natural enemy.

The fox had an inspiration. If that was the case, then the fox's magic power not only contained the essence of the sun but also the radiance of the moon, and should also include the ability to nourish flesh and blood and repair damage. If the fox were to go to some trouble and dedicate a portion of its magic power to dispel the yin energy while healing the snake's wounds, wouldn't everything be fine?

One attack, one defense; one destruction, one construction.

The fox placed its paws on the snake's body, ready to act, when it looked down at the black paws and its eyes lit up.

A thought that had long been brewing but had been suppressed by the fox resurfaced.

"Isn't this like fox fur, reddish mixed with white?"

"If one inhales even a little of that malevolent energy, the fox's claws will also regain their color."

Red fur on its back, white fur on its chest, and black fur on its lower body. Since the essence of the sun and the radiance of the moon can blend together to become the fox's magical power, why should it regard the yin energy as an enemy that must be completely expelled and is irreconcilable?

The fox decided to try a different approach. The essence of the sun is the ultimate yang, the radiance of the moon is the ultimate purity, and the yin energy is the ultimate yin and turbidity.

By using the essence of the sun to temper the coldness of Yin and evil, and the radiance of the moon to soften the intensity of Yin and evil, one might not only be able to eradicate Yin and evil completely, but also make it work for oneself.

The fox calmed itself and carefully controlled its magic power. The red and white magic power gradually split into two branches and burrowed into the snake's body.

Da Liu's tense body gradually relaxed, no longer twisting and turning. The pain in her vertical pupils faded, leaving only a slight blankness.

It could clearly feel that the uncomfortable feeling was softened by a warm current, and then swept away by a cool breeze. The sinister aura was stripped away and transformed into spiritual energy, nourishing the snake's body. New flesh and blood grew, and buds sprouted, making it itchy.

The snake raised itself, looked at the fox with a puzzled expression, and said, "Fox, your fur is prickly, it's so itchy."
