Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

Chen Ruoan looked at Lu Jin and remembered something.

You've come at the perfect time, let me take a look and see if the future situation has changed.

Although it's not something a respectable fox would do to coerce others out of a sense of obligation, I have, after all, formed a bond with the Sanyi Sect and the Great Ying Immortal. Given your respect for your teachers and the importance of morality, do you, Lu Jin, dare to hold a grudge against me for a shallow and ill-fated relationship?

Swish!

Chen Ruoan saw the thread of fate; the thread of good fortune related to Lu Jin was tangled and unclear, its color sometimes dark and sometimes light, constantly shifting and uncertain.

Ouch...

Tired, let it all end, hold on tight.

An Fox jumped off the altar and went straight to find Zuo Ruotong.

"We'll ask Master Zuo for a token later. We'll show it to him if anything happens in the future, and then..."

It's no use if you can't stand me anymore.

Chapter 51 Li Muxuan, quickly kneel down and call me father!

Chen Ruoan leaped lightly, her tail drooping and swaying from side to side, towards Zuo Ruotong's bedroom.

Inside, sunlight streamed in through the window lattice. Zuo Ruotong sat by the window, holding a pen in her hand, deep in thought.

Several books were spread out on the table, including those on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. A breeze drifted in from the window, occasionally turning the pages.

Anhuli stood by the window and asked softly, "Is Master Zuo studying the classics of the Three Teachings?"

Zuo Ruotong replied, "Since the Sanyi Sect no longer considers itself a Xuanmen (mystical sect), we might as well seek insights from some genuine Xuanmen. Considering that Buddhism has the concept of becoming a Buddha and Confucianism has the concept of becoming a sage or a virtuous person, we have brought the books of all three religions."

"Have you gained any insight?"

"To my shame, I used to maintain this 'reverse growth,' feeling like I was on a smooth ball on my head. I thought that if I kept pushing it up, one day I wouldn't have to push it up anymore, and it would become my second head. But in the end, it was all an illusion. The ball was still the ball, and I was still me."

Zuo Ruotong picked up a copy of the Tao Te Ching and flipped through it with a smile: "Maintaining a life of rebellion is ultimately exhausting. Now that I've unloaded the burden, rereading some classics of the three religions can bring me peace of mind."

For a long time, Zuo Ruotong has been burdened with the empty title of "the number one mystical sect in the world" and obsessed with techniques such as "reverse life triple". He has almost forgotten what the Three Ones Dao is.

"One" is the essence, and "three" is the manifestation. Cultivation is "reverse cultivation and returning to the origin", which reunites the differentiated "three" into one, namely essence, qi and spirit, heaven, earth and man, and the three dantian spirits, and returns to one.

In the future, the disciples' cultivation will likely revolve around "unity," progressing step by step from the basic practice of guarding the three elements and contemplating the mind, to the core cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit, and then to the advanced practice of breath control and internal cultivation, ultimately achieving "the return of the three to one."

If one day a disciple can reach a state of "harmony between man and nature, and perfection of form and spirit," then he will probably not be far from reaching the heavens.

As for the "Triple Rebirth," it should be regarded as a common means of protecting oneself and preserving one's life. Those who are still willing to cultivate should be advised to think carefully and proceed cautiously, while those who are unwilling to take risks should choose other methods.

Chen Ruo listened attentively, and then Zuo Ruotong added a few more words: "Actually, besides this reflection and insight, I also discovered that everyone says that cultivating oneself and refining one's life is enough. But in the end, the three teachings all come down to the words 'relieving people from suffering and guiding them towards goodness'."

"Having lost the blessings and good karma accumulated in the secular world, is Heaven truly willing to pave the way for those of us with shallow fortune and short lives?"

"Seclusion in the mountains for quiet cultivation is ultimately lacking something."

Chen Ruoan replied, "If there are disciples who have mastered their skills, they can be sent down the mountain to gain experience."

"Yes, it can also help you spread the word and make your name known far and wide."

"Left Gate Master, you..."

I feel so embarrassed.

A group of Sanyi disciples spread the fox's fame, inviting gods to establish their positions and making a name for themselves throughout the world. They were not much different from the shamanic practitioners in Northeast China.

Should we simply find a spirit medium to possess?

As a fox, I'll probably never be able to summon a deity to possess me and experience the glamorous "spirit possession" in this lifetime.

Just because you can't summon a spirit doesn't mean you can't become a human.

Who should I choose?

The fox does not yet have a suitable mate.

Zuo Ruotong continued to study at her desk, pondering the future of the Trinity School. The room was quiet.

Chen Ruoan then stopped bothering him and nimbly leaped away, completely forgetting his original intention of visiting the Great Ying Immortal.

···

In the small town outside Sanyi Mountain, after a period of quiet recuperation from summer to early autumn, Li Muxuan barely escaped death. At this moment, a dough figurine maker was standing in front of him.

Wugensheng raised his hand and introduced: "Clay figurine, Master Liu. His folk craft, passed down for thousands of years, can temporarily change your and my appearance. When the disciples of Sanyi are gathering herbs, you and I can go and tie them up, take their identities, and infiltrate Sanyi Sect."

Yuan Jingui, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Sect Leader, there has been quite a bit of trouble within the Sanyi Sect these past few days. Even though it hasn't spread within the circle yet, there are signs that a storm is brewing."

More than a month ago, there were rumors that the Great Ying Immortal was associating with evil spirits. "Changming Yegan" was most good at barking wild dogs, which added a strange wind to the rumors, but in the end, it did not cause any bigger waves.

"We'll find out what happened once we go take a look."

Wugensheng pointed at Li Muxuan and said, "Zuo Ruotong is very caring towards the disciples in the backyard. You will inevitably have contact with him. Remember not to give anything away. From now on, your name is Zhong Yang. Your father abandoned his wife and children in your early years, and your mother passed away in recent years. You are all alone and have almost no dirt on you."

“Yes…” Li Muxuan replied in a deep voice.

Is it really necessary for me to be Zuo Ruotong's crippled disciple for a period of time?

Despite feeling terrified, why did an inexplicable joy well up from the bottom of my heart?

"Sect Leader, I have exhausted all my methods, and this time I am counting on you."

"I'll take it. After all, I'm the leader of this whole bunch of troublemakers."

···

In the backyard of Trinity, Ghost Second Brother Zhongyi's spirit was blurry, gathering and dispersing unpredictably, displaying an extremely awkward and hesitant demeanor.

The son's health improved, and a famous doctor came to treat him. Everything was going smoothly, but when it came time to truly recognize each other, why did he become as awkward as an old woman?

"If you don't recognize me, you can leave."

Chen Ruoan urged, as there were still a few more Yin ghosts to collect, and it wouldn't be good for him to continue loitering around the Sanyi Sect for free.

"I admit it, I admit it!"

Just as he was muttering to himself, Lu Jin stood outside the courtyard gate and called out, "Senior Brother Zhong is back!"

"Cough cough cough!" Ghost Second straightened his posture and floated beside Chen Ruoan. He wanted to shed tears, but only streams of black qi could flow from his eyes.

After a while, Li Muxuan, disguised as Zhong Yang, entered the courtyard and placed a full bamboo basket of herbs in the corner.

Lu Jin said happily, "Senior Brother Zhong, I have a surprise for you. Look over there!"

Li Muxuan looked towards the ancestral hall that had been tidied up. Standing in front of the door was a black fox with glossy fur. The quality of its fur and its lively and proud expression were something that could not be found anywhere else in the world.

stinky fox!

Before he could reveal his sinister and vicious nature, Ghost Second stepped forward and said with a sob in his voice, "Son, I am your father, Zhongyi. Back then, I went out to learn martial arts and invited some people to climb a mountain. As a result, I was killed by a tiger spirit, which is why I couldn't go back to find you. I didn't abandon you!"

The brother standing beside him also sighed, but the Qing Dynasty loyalist still couldn't say anything decent.

"What a blessing it is to be reunited with family after so many decades."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and kneel down and call me father!"

···

"This..." Li Muxuan was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to deal with it. In the investigation conducted by the sect leader, there was no mention that the original owner had a father who was a Yin ghost. The sect leader had not taught him how to deal with this situation either.

Moreover, kneeling is one thing, but why must you kneel down along with that vile fox?

"Father...Father..." Li Muxuan called out softly, his knees bending.

At this moment, Wugensheng, who had fallen behind, caught up and sat on the door frame, panting heavily. When he looked up, he saw the fox at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The eyes of the man and the fox met, and they instantly understood each other's feelings.

What Wugensheng saw was the fox's wariness and hostility.

What Chen Ruoan saw was a strange phenomenon with the potential to wreak havoc on the entire world of extraordinary people.

"Ugh, this is so boring. I was exposed so easily. I really hate animal instincts. Speaking of which, instead of practicing rebellious cultivation, why is the Sanyi Sect setting up a shrine like the shamans from Northeast China?"

Li Muxuan, who was supporting himself on his hands, was stunned: "Huh? I was exposed right away? Then what about me!?"

Chapter 52 The Great Ying Immortal is a little different from the rumors.

Wugensheng rubbed his face, restoring his original appearance, and then stepped forward to remove the spells cast by the clay figure Liu from Li Muxuan's body.

When the second ghost saw his son transform into a living person, he was stunned, and even the ghost brothers beside him were dumbfounded.

Lu Jinqi materialized into muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, raised his arm to block Wugensheng's path, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Complete nature, without roots."

The renowned leader of the "Quanxing" sect, whose fame had risen in the martial arts world, now stood openly in the backyard of Sanyi. Several unwell disciples were so frightened that they took a few steps back and crowded around the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The fox felt the space around it becoming increasingly crowded.

"Where are Zhong Lao Er's son and another disciple?"

Chen Ruoan's Yin Qi surged, and dark mist swept around, causing the wind to change drastically. The autumn atmosphere of the Sanyi Sect was completely crushed, and the cold was as cold as the dead of winter.

Wugensheng crossed his arms and rubbed his palms together twice. Caught off guard, he sneezed. He then casually raised his palm and waved it, causing the black energy wrapped around his shoulder to dissipate into specks of cold starlight, vanishing into the cold wind.

Such a heavy, yin aura...

No, it's so pure that calling it "demonic" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"The two disciples of Sanyi are safe and sound. They are currently in a stone cave at the foot of the mountain in the southwest, and are being looked after by my disciples. Don't worry."

“Brother An.” Lu Jin turned around and exchanged a glance with Chen Ruoan.

The man and the fox understood each other without saying a word. Lu Jin bypassed Wugensheng and Li Muxuan and ran straight down the mountain.

"Hey, wait a minute. My disciples aren't good at anything except running away and spreading rumors, so don't bully them too much." Wugensheng shouted towards the courtyard gate.

The "Quanxing" heretics are deserving of everyone's wrath, but Lu Jin ignored them and quickened his pace.

Turning back, Wugensheng scratched his head in distress and sighed, "I was originally going to settle a matter for my disciples, but now the whole plan is ruined. Let me think..."

"Look at you, you're giving me a hand, but treating me like I'm nothing, just letting me go, okay?"

The disciples of the Three Ones, who were gathered around the ancestral hall, whispered among themselves that the rumored leader of the "Quanxing" sect was actually a glib and frivolous fellow.

Chen Ruoan stared at the tangled threads of fate that Wugensheng had scattered, containing both good and bad karma, intertwined and impossible to unravel.

The "Jiashen Rebellion" caused countless disasters, and hundreds of people were implicated. If we were to deal with the evil lord now, wouldn't that be considered doing a good deed?
