Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

With a few swift "whoosh" sounds, the ghostly figure darted about in the rain and mist.

Chen Ruoan used the method of harassing the enemy to command the five ghosts.

As Lu Jin threw his fist, the five ghosts spun around and dodged away.

After he finished his attack and took a breath, they surrounded him from all sides again.

Once he showed signs of weakness, they entangled him again...

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack. This is a strategy masterclass.

As the cycle repeated, Lu Jin's breathing gradually became heavy, his movements became somewhat sluggish, and he felt increasingly powerless.

He forced back a ghost that was standing close to him with a wave of his hand, wiped the raindrops from his face, and called out loudly into the mist, "Brother Chen, is it all you in the rain and mist?"

Chen Ruojing stood quietly in a corner, ignoring his question.

Lu Jin, Lu Jin, things have come to this point, and you still haven't figured out the problem?

"When a person is born, the primordial Qi manifests in the limbs and bones, which is the natural order. Following the natural order is in accordance with the laws of nature, but death is inevitable. Therefore, it is necessary to reverse the process and return to the state of the primordial Qi, which is to defy the laws of nature in order to ascend to immortality."

This is the underlying principle of the "Reverse Rebirth Triple" technique.

To put it bluntly, returning to the primordial Qi means that one's ordinary breathing gradually ceases, true breathing begins to appear, and the primordial Qi mechanism is activated, which can arise from nothingness and enter naturally without being drawn in.

Afterwards, Qi and spirit unite, embryonic breathing naturally forms, and only one true self remains within and without.

The current "reverse rebirth" is nothing more than using life as a price to try every means to maintain a false state.

When the Qi Sea is insufficient and the profound power dissipates, all delusions of becoming an immortal will vanish like smoke.

Lu Jin had already expended a lot of his Qi in his previous sparring with Fang Dongtian, and after being tormented by the Five Ghosts, he was almost exhausted.

And at times like these...

Chen Ruoan recalled the scene of traveling the world on Zhang Zhiwei's shoulders—if I can see further than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

If defeat and humiliation deepened their ill-fated relationship, that would be one thing, but Lu Jin actually deepened his bond with the fox because of being beaten. So, the fox only has one choice left.

Zhang Zhiwei, your slaps weren't fast enough or hard enough back then.

Snapped!

Chen Ruoan condensed Qi in his palm, revealing the true form of a fox on his right arm, and used his fox paw to slap towards Lu Jin's left chin.

"Ok?"

The continuous rain stopped, and the floating water vapor gradually settled down, with the soft, limp paw pads of a fox pressing against Lu Jin's cheek.

The shaking of the upper dantian requires extremely strict control of the force. The fleshy pads cushioned the impact, just enough to keep the person dazed and prevent brain damage.

"Brother Chen, did Senior Brother Zhang tell you this?"

“Zhang Dazui did mention it once, but after all these years, your upper elixir is still unstable. Maintaining ‘reverse life’ must take a lot of mental effort, right?”

“Yes…” Lu Jin stumbled and fell into a puddle.

The Taoist priests watching chuckled: "So this is how you fill in the gaps in the rumors about the Lu family's birthday banquet? Little Lu Jin, how did you lose to a high-ranking Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

"There's also a hidden cave! Don't let Quanzhen down! You should try it too, use your Yang Shen technique to bump into the fox!"

Fang Dongtian gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the smiling senior.

What happened to your composure?

Why are they all laughing so uncontrollably?

Chen Ruoan stepped forward and handed her hand to Lu Jin, saying, "Get up and we'll talk later."

Lu Jin covered his mouth and nose, embarrassed, and said, "No, Brother Chen, you should stop using your supernatural powers first."

Chapter 34 The fox's exotic scent, the fox's musky smell?

Lu Jin did not accept Chen Ruoan's kindness and obediently slumped in the puddle.

Even though his mouth and nose were covered, a lingering, strange fragrance still lingered, always making him feel suffocated and uneasy. The dampness and coldness of the water, on the contrary, could dispel the inexplicable palpitations in his heart.

"I haven't used any magic right now," Chen Ruoan said matter-of-factly.

Lu Jin wanted to explain, but at this moment his Qi Sea was empty and his mind was out of control. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, something terrible would happen. So he got up in a sorry state and hurriedly ran to the Tianjie Inn east of the South Heavenly Gate.

"Why did Lu Jin run away?"

"Dongtian, it's your turn. Use your supernatural skills to ram him. You'd better be alert and not let our Quanzhen Sect down!"

"Keep it up, you're awesome!"

Faced with the encouragement from his seniors, Fang Dongtian didn't fall for it and said irritably, "So annoying!"

"You're such a tease!"

Seeing that Zhenyigang was damp and the grotto was indignant, the Taoist priests lost interest in joining the fun and carried their cushions toward Bixia Temple. The three female Taoist priests nodded and smiled at the handsome young man in the center of the open space.

The fox reciprocated with courtesy.

At this moment, Fang Dongtian stepped forward, and Chen Ruoan asked, "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"

"I told you before that you have a pleasant, exotic fragrance. You knew that foxes are skilled in bewitching, so you deliberately concealed your appearance. But this time you showed your true face. With your looks and scent, who could withstand such a test?"

"Then who is Lu Jin!?"

The fox's fur stood on end, and it became alert.

He raised his sleeve and smelled it, finding only a faint, pleasant fragrance, not at all pungent, yet also unable to stir his mind.

That's normal.

The saying goes, "One who lives in a room full of orchids will not smell their fragrance, and one who lives in a fish market will not smell their stench." Most people are sensitive to their external environment but lack awareness of their own smells. This is a result of both olfactory adaptation and brain filtering.

"Could it be that the strange fragrance emanating from my body is causing men to be aroused and tempted by desire?"

No wonder people call wicked women who seduce other men "vixens," they're said to reek of foxy charm...

That said, this strange fragrance is a bit too similar to Xia He's "Bone-Scraping Knife" skin.

The only thing that Chen Ruoan was thankful for was that the fox's exotic scent could only entice people's minds, but could not lead them to depravity and ruin.

"Master Fang, then why are you unharmed?"

Fang Dongtian replied, "Firstly, it's because your paper umbrella magic weapon suppresses the smell; secondly, it's because I practice the Quanzhen School's 'dual cultivation of body and mind,' and what has troubled me has never been any desire for love, but rather my excessive inner fire."

The heart is associated with fire; anger causes the heart fire to rise, disturbing the spirit.

This is also one of the important reasons why Fang Dongtian has been unable to advance to the next level.

"It turns out to be the oil-paper umbrella and Master Fang's own skill."

"But since you know your own shortcomings, why don't you consciously avoid them in your cultivation, calm your mind and temper your temper?" the fox asked.

"I'd like to, but saying it and doing it are two completely different things. Anyone can talk the talk, but putting it into practice is incredibly difficult."

Chen Ruoan nodded in agreement.

It's like a college student who goes wild all day, then lies in bed before sleep, swearing that he'll study hard tomorrow, but in reality, he'll still waste the day doing nothing...

In a sense, actions speak louder than words.

"I'm worried something might have happened, so I'd better go check on the inn where Lu Jin is staying." Fang Dongtian rolled up his wet trousers and ran towards Tianjie, splashing through the puddles.

An Fox originally intended to go along, but then she thought that going would only make things worse, so she obediently went to Bixia Temple and asked the youngest female Taoist for the essentials of the Golden Elixir.

At the Tianjie Inn, Lu Jin paid extra for a basin of cold water and used it to wipe his body with a towel.

"If there were water available on the mountain, I would love to take a refreshing cold shower. Even though I'm far away from the strange fragrance, the images in my mind still linger. What terrifying supernatural power."

call--

Lu Jin covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, her face was cold, and she had a slight feeling of suffocation.

Once he calmed down, he was glad that Anhuli's winning strategy was to shake the upper elixir.

Just like the rumored way the Lu family's birthday banquet was ruined, it actually attracted the attention of the Taoist priests at the Taishan Taoist Temple.

If the Taoist masters knew that his failure was due to insufficient Qi and being distracted by male beauty, it would be a complete disgrace to the Lu family.

"I have absolutely no homosexual inclinations."

Lu Jin loosened the towel, picked up the fox pendant with the character "An" on it, sighed softly, and silently tied the pendant to her waist.

"Dongtian is right, we still need to be cautious."

Even men are so bewitched that they lose their minds. If they become close to Chen Ruoan in the future, and their sisters in the family see this, wouldn't they be labeled as a fox-like brother-in-law or sister's husband?

If a woman of an older or younger generation falls for him, wouldn't the brotherhood he and An Fox have just built up be completely ruined?

To distract himself, Lu Jin actually started thinking about some completely unfounded things. In the end, he decided to keep the story of encountering the fox on Mount Tai a secret and carry the fox pendant with him at all times, treasuring it carefully.

···

On the other hand, Chen Ruoan obtained a wonderful method for making golden elixir from a female Taoist priest at Bixia Temple, and brought it back to Yaoyue Tower as if it were a priceless treasure.

Leaning against the railing on the fifth floor, he wasn't in a hurry to cultivate; instead, he began to study the "fox-like stench" emanating from his body.

As a fox who cultivates and forms a bond with the supernatural, it naturally cannot limit its vision to the narrow world of the supernatural. In the future, when setting up the celestial tablets and divine positions, it will come into contact with more ordinary people.

If even Lu Jin, a standout among his peers, could be so disturbed by the strange fragrance, then ordinary people would only go even crazier if they smelled it when they were out and about.

At that point, foxes won't be walking "hormones," but walking "aphrodisiacs."

Chen Ruoan transformed back into a fox, carefully observing the lingering fragrance around him. He then reverted to human form and compared the changes in scent. After this process, he indeed discovered something subtle—

When a person transforms into human form, their body is surrounded by a dense, cold, and yin aura. In the eyes of some extraordinary people, this yin aura is also called "demonic energy".

Transforming from a fox to a human, the demonic aura transforms into human energy, mixed with the moonlight and radiance. This combination of three elements creates an alluring and seductive scent.

The magical power of the oil-paper umbrella lies in its ability to suppress unusual fragrances; this is the very reason it originated from the wishing tree.

Not only should one conceal their form, but one should also guard against unwanted romantic entanglements caused by strange fragrances, lest one incur unnecessary karmic consequences.

"You even thought of that, Hagi Tree, you bastard."

Chen Ruoan stroked the umbrella, realizing that she probably wouldn't be able to go out without it for a while.

This is good, firstly to maintain the mystery, and secondly to avoid disrupting the secular order.

Having understood the principles behind the strange fragrance, Chen Ruoan closed his umbrella, climbed the tower, and leaned on the railing to worship the moon.
