Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

After a moment's thought, Chen Ruoan had an idea.

“Old Lu, sitting and waiting to die is not a good idea. Why don’t we go to the enemy’s headquarters and kill all those madmen who believe in ‘evil’?”

"Hmm?" Lu Jin frowned. "You used to be quite cunning when you were young. How come you're so flamboyant now? You seem like a stranger to me."

"Old Lu, you have to understand, we're getting old, it's time for us to get our spirits up."

Chapter 150: Get to Hogwarts?

“As long as the ‘list’ remains, and the meteorite carrying the virus remains, Linglong’s blood will always be a hidden danger. Can you tolerate such a lovely great-granddaughter living in the shadow of assassination every day?” The fox lowered its voice and began its demonic whisper.

Where's the promised action-packed anime for older viewers? Why isn't Lu Jin trying to stand up for himself?

After Chen Ruoan finished speaking, he briefly looked at the wishing tree in his mind. He wondered what kind of existence the meteorite was. After contacting the whisper, the pitted gray stone was still next to the tree, seriously affecting the aesthetics of the environment.

The fox briefly surveyed the scene, and a black line floated lightly before its eyes, entangling the handsome old man in a sharp suit.

"Fifty years have passed, and Old Lu's black lines are still chasing me?"

"What exactly is Lu Jin dissatisfied with about me?"

It doesn't matter, anyway, this old guy can't beat me now.

Chen Ruoan composed himself and asked again, "Have you thought it through? Are you going or not?"

Lu Jin glanced at Lu Linglong. The girl gently patted her chest, trying to soothe the discomfort in her abdomen. After burping a few times, the carbon dioxide seemed to finally stop causing trouble.

You bastard, how dare you touch my precious darling, my most beloved great-granddaughter! There's only one way she can do that: die!

"Damn it, I'll kill those bastards!"

"No problem."

"What are you whispering about?" Before the fox could lift its head from under the table, a heavy weight pressed down on its back. Lu Linglong was lying on Chen Ruoan, her little head peering under the table, seemingly wanting to join the conversation.

“He didn’t say anything.” Lu Jin smiled, gazing at the two little children stacked together. A jealous feeling born of kinship began to surface. Come to think of it, Linglong and Brother An have only known each other for a little over a month. Isn’t it a bit too fast for them to become so close?

"Linglong, come here and give Grandpa a hug."

The little girl climbed off Chen Ruoan's back and approached Lu Jin, her eyes vacant and lifeless.

"After spending a lot of time with An'an, it's easy to smell the old man's odor on Grandpa."

"Ugh!" Lu Jin felt as if he had been struck by lightning from Zhang Zhiwei out of nowhere. He froze like cement, as if struck by lightning, and his whole body cracked open.

"Linglong, you're disgusted with your grandfather! You can't be disgusted with your grandfather!"

"It's not that Grandpa smells bad, it's just that An'an smells much better, very sweet." Lu Linglong used rather inappropriate cute words to describe him, but Lu Jin's expression grew even more unpleasant.

stab~

Lu Jin and Chen Ruoan's brainwaves seemed to have aligned, and they activated their internal teammate's voice chat again.

"Have you really suppressed your unusual fragrance?"

"Otherwise what? What terrible illness have I fallen into that would allow me to use such methods on a six or seven-year-old girl?"

Three years minimum, death penalty maximum!

"Isn't Linglong getting too close to you?"

"This is a normal way for kids to make friends. Are you the great-grandfather or the old father? With this kind of mentality, won't you explode on the spot when Linglong gets married?"

"That depends on what kind of person you marry!"

Chen Ruoan and Lu Jin understood the meaning in each other's eyes and both sighed.

When it came to Linglong's issues, Lu Jin always felt that the fox couldn't truly empathize. Perhaps once he developed a deeper bond with the girl named Xia He, he would be able to understand the love and care an elder would have for a younger generation.

"Let's go home." Lu Jin lost her appetite, hastily packed up the leftover fries and fried chicken, picked up the shop's paper bag and walked out. Lu Linglong, who was in her arms, turned her head back and handed her the strap of her schoolbag.

"An'an, hold on tight, don't get lost."

“No need,” Lu Jin interjected. “I’ll hold his hand.”

Snapped!

Lu Jin grasped Chen Ruoan's hand.

For a moment, the fox thought that attacking in the form of a young boy was the most absurd and regrettable thing he had ever done in his life. Even after living for nearly eighty years, he still couldn't feel at ease holding hands with his old brother and walking down the bustling street.

Uh ~

Chen Ruoan got a little angry and reluctantly withdrew her hand.

···

The “List” has caused trouble all over the world and has clashed with the American “Behemoth” many times, but the meteorite was located in London, England.

There were still tickets available for flights from Kyoto to Heathrow, and since it was the weekend, Chen Ruoan and Lu Jin decided to set off that day.

"Brother An, how can you be so sure that those bastards will definitely come back from all over the world?"

"Because we are not simply going to wipe out an evil organization, we are going to kill a god."

"god?"

"After the Left Sect Leader passed away, the mountains and forests near Old Black Mountain underwent obvious changes. You regarded this as the location of the Qi formation and firmly believed that the Left Sect Leader's will was contained in this world. That's why you built the Sanyi Branch in the Northeast. Now I suspect that there is something similar on the other side."

Qi formation is a special regional pattern formed by the solidification of inanimate objects and the innate Qi that generates life flowing in the middle. It is a mysterious field that can influence the fate of all things when viewed from a time-transcending perspective.

Different energy formations have different effects on the human body. For example, the stone wall patterns and mountain and river trends of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley can guide ordinary people to obtain Qi. It is a rare place with great energy formations. Later, Wugensheng secretly changed the direction of the stone patterns, and the life formation completely turned into a death formation.

The meteorite enshrined in the "List" is located in the center of the magic array. It influences and modifies the human body through viruses and essentially has the characteristics of an aura. More importantly, if the meteorite had no origin, it wouldn't have lingered in front of the fox's wishing tree.

For the "list," meteorites are the aura that strengthens the body, and are the deities they worship.

"Remember our core objective: wipe out the 'list' and destroy the meteorite. To prevent our identities from being exposed, I've prepared two sets of clothes and masks, one for crying and one for laughing. After we get off the plane, we'll use nicknames as pronouns: you'll be called 'Laughing at the Sky,' and I'll be called 'Crying Without Tears.'"

Lu Jin was taken aback. What a strange name?

There are also plans and outfits to follow; it seems the fox is really enjoying himself.

After listening to the fox's story, Lu Jin sat by the porthole, closed his eyes to rest, and imagined what he might have encountered abroad.

Having witnessed many of the techniques of the Qi Refining system, I don't really know much about Western alchemy. I hope that while killing a group of mutated monsters, I can gain some knowledge about alchemy.

Chen Ruoan observed the wishing tree beside him. Its branches stretched towards the horizon in his mind, almost blocking out the entire sky. The faint light emitted by the precious tablet made the sun unnecessary here, but the fox always felt that his mind could hardly contain the big tree.

During the war, the fox formed good relationships with several missionaries, but all it gained was a little rudimentary knowledge of alchemy and foreign learning. It was uncertain whether this trip would allow it to engrave a few foreigners' fancy names on the imperial register.

Twelve hours is not a long time for a person skilled in meditation; Fox and Lu Jin were already standing in front of the exit.

Called by "evil," Chen Ruoan went to a little-known, secluded valley in the countryside. The trees there were layered and intertwined, isolating the noise from the outside world. The valley floor was damp, with decaying leaves and moss covering the ground, and a thin mist slowly flowing through the forest.

"Someone's there!" Lu Jin suddenly warned.

The fox looked up and saw dozens of dark figures moving through the valley. These people were dressed in large black wizard robes with their hoods pulled low, and they held black staffs in their hands. Some of them even rode old wooden brooms over the low bushes.

With their black robes billowing and staffs waving, these guys were the quintessential wizards from movies and TV shows, standing out conspicuously in the dark valley.

"You've come to Hogwarts for me?"

As the fox muttered to itself, an old man appeared silently behind it.

This man had a full head of long, silvery-white hair and a beard as white as snow. Behind his crescent-shaped glasses were a pair of clear, wise blue eyes with a gentle gaze that concealed a profound insight into everything.

He wore a magnificent wizard's robe embroidered with star patterns. He was slender and held a magic wand lightly. He had the kind and gentle demeanor of an elder, as well as the dignified air of someone in charge.

"Even Dumbledore has appeared. It really is Hogwarts."

Dean Taber sensed a strange offense from the fox's mutterings and introduced himself: "Guests, I am Isaac Taber, Dean of Flamel Academy. May I ask what brings you to the Valley of Mysteries?"

After the old man reminded him, Chen Ruoan remembered the man's identity: a figure comparable to Zhang Zhiwei in the Western supernatural community, and also Zhang Zhiwei's close friend.

Chapter 151: Starting with a superior position as a sign of respect

During his early years, Zhang Zhiwei forged a deep friendship with Isaac Taber during a visit to Europe for exchange activities. So much so that after returning to Longhu Mountain, the old master insisted on studying English for a long time.

In Western circles, Isaac Tabor is a wise, insightful, and highly respected great wizard, and the academy he attends is named after Nicholas Flamel.

Flammel is considered the founder of European alchemy and is famous for creating the legendary Philosopher's Stone. It is said that he could use the Philosopher's Stone to turn mercury into gold and achieve immortality.

Chen Ruoan didn't have a deep impression of Taber, only remembering that he appeared in the later Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

At that time, he was troubled by some mysterious events in Europe, and the next time he heard news of the great wizard, it was news of his death—just as Dumbledore was destined to die in the battle against Voldemort.

The fox gazed at the old man with his long, gray beard, but his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the future.

During the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Zhang Zhiwei and Taber said, "It seems we are facing the same predicament." For the old Celestial Master at that time, the predicament was definitely not the lurking "Quanxing," but the series of disasters caused by the appearance of the "Eight Extraordinary Skills," and—the Immortal Traces.

There is clearly a situation in the West similar to the "Jiashen Rebellion".

Thinking about it this way, the Philosopher's Stone, representing the ultimate work of alchemists, and the Jade Record, protected by the Jade Society, may not be as ethereal as the legends of cultivators like Zhang Sanfeng, Daoji, and Bodhidharma ascending to immortality.

Chen Ruoan and Lu Jin were dressed in black with cloaks, and their faces were wearing modified versions of the Ghost Mask from "Scream". One was crying and the other was laughing.

Judging from its appearance, it is easy to associate it with the words "uninvited guest".

“Dean Taber, I am Tear, and this is Joy. To be honest, we have trespassed here to settle a dispute over the ‘list’.”

“Yeah.” Lu Jin’s English wasn’t very good, so he responded in a low voice.

The name is a combination of crying and laughing, which Tabor naturally thinks is a pseudonym, but since their enemy is the "List," Tabor automatically ignores their deliberate attempt to conceal their dishonesty.

The "List" has made enemies worldwide. It once colluded with a group of dark wizards to infiltrate Flamel Academy, intending to find the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Just like the "Quanxing" who plotted to uncover the truth of the Jia Shen incident, Taber, who is on par with Zhang Zhiwei, naturally could not tolerate such evil deeds.

“Since this is a group of villains’ guests, then please make yourselves at home. This Secret Witch Valley has now become a hunting ground for the ‘List’,” Taber said.

Thank you.

Swish!

Taber's robes fluttered, and with a flick of his wand, he soared into the distant horizon, quickly catching up with the wizarding group ahead.

"Old Lu, have you noticed anything amiss?" The fox scanned the misty valley, raised its hand to summon life, and a few blades of grass slowly climbed up and fell into its palm.

"Hmm, my Qi circulation is a bit sluggish. This valley is a place with a powerful energy field, and it doesn't welcome outsiders like us."

"Not only that, but the priority of my use of the Five Elements spells has been shifted by this world." Chen Ruoan wondered if he could do what the local wizards did and hold a magic wand in his hand so that he could deceive the objectively existing eyes in the energy field.

"Never mind! Seventy years ago, my master improved the Three-in-One Method, and the 'Reverse Life Triple Technique' he cultivated after tempering his body far surpasses the methods left by our ancestors. No matter how strange this place is, my body is still mine, and no one can take it away! Let's charge in!"

Old Lu is finally showing some signs of passion.
