After the two fox spirits decided to go to Mount Qingcheng to steal the Qingcheng Secret Record, they to look at each other with mischievous eyes and laugh.
Su Chan kept fiddling with Ao Wushuang with her arms and said with a sneaky smile, “Master, How did I not know that you were a thief? What if others find out about this?”
She then added nervously, “What if Yundong finds out? What should I do?”
Ao Wushuang was stunned, but she quickly snorted and said, “If he knows, just tell him that this is the tradition of our Fox Zen School!”
Su Chan’s eyes were widen open. “Stealing is a tradition of the Fox Zen School?”
Ao Wushuang said disapprovingly, “Our founding master, Grandmaster Pan Shi, is the master of the Fox Zen School. His ability is to learn skills from others. Why is the Mystical Silver Fox so powerful? Is it because she is good at stealing from others? What’s more, we didn’t steal these cultivation methods to do bad things. Why can’t we have them?”
When Su Chan saw how self-righteous her master was being, she didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she asked excitedly, “When are we going?”
Ao Wushuang looked at the sky and said, “Let’s go at night.”
Su Chan jumped up and clapped her hands, saying, “That’s great. We can also have a dinner cooked by Yundong!”
Ao Wushuang scolded angrily, “Do you think of nothing but food!”
Su Chan pulled a face at Ao Wushuang and said, “Well, Yundong’s cooking is so delicious. It’s not like yours!”
Just as Ao Wushuang was about to get angry, she saw Su Chan rushing out of the room with a smile and could only shake her head helplessly.
When Su Chan walked out of the room, she saw that the little foxes were gathering in the living room. Suddenly, there was a burst of deafening cheers.
Su Chan was shocked. She covered her ears and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Ling Yue grabbed Su Chan with a face full of joy and shook her arm hard. “Leader has decided to pass on the Heavenly Jindan Technique to us!”
Su Chan couldn’t help but open her mouth and gape. “Ah? Is he going to teach us the Heavenly Jindan Technique?”
Liu Yuehong also said to Li Yundong in surprise, “Leader, why do you suddenly want to pass this Heavenly Jindan Technique to us?”
Li Yundong said with a smile, “Although this is a magic created by Mr. Maru Chen Pu, it is also one of the legacies of the Mystical Silver Fox. It can be passed to you and you’ll become owners.”
For a moment, the entire Fox Zen School cheered. Beside them, Zi Yuan was also smiling, but there was a trace of confusion and worry in her eyes.
While the two of them were busy in the kitchen, Zi Yuan asked while washing vegetables, “Why do you want to spread the Heavenly Jindan Technique now?”
Li Yundong skillfully cut the radish. He sighed softly and said, “The Fox Zen School has been the target of everyone at the Taoist assembly. Although some of the Japanese have resolved the crisis, Yan Fang’s appearance later made the Fox Zen School stop at the top of the storm. In addition, I accidentally cut the Emperor’s Clock and released a lot of cultivators. I have been thinking about what you said before. If a disaster in the cultivation world happens because of me, I think…”
Li Yundong suddenly stopped his work and continued with worry, “… If I really cause a disaster, I think I will resign from the position of leader of Fox Zen School.”
Zi Yuan was also stunned and her body stiffened slightly. She turned her face and asked in surprise, “Are you afraid of getting Su Chan and the others into trouble?”
Li Yundong nodded. “That’s right. If it was just me, I wouldn’t be afraid. However, it involves Cao Yi, Liu Yuehong, Su Chan, and the little foxes in the Fox Zen School, who can’t protect themselves. Fortunately, Ao Wushuang has come back. With her strength, she should be able to protect the whole Fox Zen School. But I was afraid that there would be powerful cultivators, so I’ve decided to teach them the Heavenly Jindan Technique. No matter how many levels they reach, they’ll finally be able to have the strength to protect themselves.”
Zi Yuan sighed slightly and said, “In fact, have you ever thought about why Yan Fang wanted to kill Cao Kefei? Yan Fang would rather not take back the Liuhe Sword than try her best to kill Cao Kefei? Moreover, when she first attacked, why did Cao Yi appear? Was she going to save Cao Kefei? If so, why did she go there?”
Li Yundong said with a serious look, “I’ve thought about it, and I had a private talk with Cao Yi, but she said that she suspected Zhuang Yating at that time, so she always paid attention to her actions, especially when she found that Yan Fang had secretly sneaked out to kill Cao Kefei, so she helped.”
Zi Yuan smiled and said, “Do you believe her words?”
Li Yundong didn’t comment and continued to use his knife. The knife in his hand flew up and down, and the radish was cut very thin and long. Every slice of it seemed to have been cut by a machine. He said, “Until I confirm whether Liu Ye is really alive or if he has any ulterior motives, I’m skeptical about this.”
Zi Yuan also turned her head and continued to do the work at hand. She suddenly said, “Have you ever thought about…”
Li Yundong saw that Zi Yuan had stopped halfway through her words. He turned his head and said with a smile, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about? Why are you so hesitant today?”
Zi Yuan looked at Li Yundong seriously and said without blinking, “Have you ever thought about… setting up another sect on your own?”
Li Yundong was shocked. “A new sect? Why?”
Zi Yuan turned around and said with a serious face, “Li Yundong, I know that you are very affectionate, but you should understand that the Fox Zen School will always be associated with evil spirits. No matter how hard you try, someone will talk about this. Moreover, the damage and trauma of the Mystical Silver Fox to the entire cultivation world is too serious. You can’t imagine it! If the Mystical Silver Fox really gets resurrected, the whole cultivation world will regard you as a public enemy. At that time, no matter whether you are a good person or what great deeds you have done in the past, they will attack you crazily until you, the leader of the Fox Zen School, are destroyed and the Mystical Silver Fox is sealed again!”
Li Yundong also turned around. After thinking for a while, he said, “I can understand why they are hostile to the Fox Zen School, but I don’t understand why the whole cultivation world is so hostile and vigilant toward the Mystical Silver Fox. What did she do before?”
Zi Yuan hesitated for a moment and her eyes were full of reluctance. After thinking for a while, she sighed and said, “Forget it. You should have always known about these things.”
Zi Yuan stroked her hair and said, “You’ve been in the Spirit Space for more than ten thousand years and read all kinds of books. Have you found any records about the Mystical Silver Fox?”
Li Yundong was also surprised and said, “I didn’t pay attention to it until you said that. I just remembered that in the books in the Spirit Space, there was no book that once mentioned the Mystical Silver Fox, and most of it even slandered the Fox Zen School. It was just a piece of cake done by Grandmaster Pan Shi, the founder of the Fox Zen School.”
Zi Yuan nodded and said, “That’s right! Back when Grandmaster Pan Shizi established the Fox Zen School, he defeated many cultivators with a Fan of Seven Treasures. Later, these cultivators felt ashamed of being defeated by the fox demons in secret and began to ruin the reputation of the Fox Zen School. Later, the two generations of sect masters who inherited the throne were disappointing and made the school a mess. But at this time, the school’s reputation was only bad. Although it had a slightly bad reputation, it was not some monster that everyone could talk about.”
Li Yundong cut in, “Until the Mystical Silver Fox appeared?”
Zi Yuan nodded slightly. “That’s right! The Mystical Silver Fox was the fourth-generation sect master of the Fox Zen School. When she had just taken the throne, the Fox Zen School was in a state of chaos. Furthermore, ever since the Fox Zen School became a leading clan, most of the people in the sect have been female. As for the Mystical Silver Fox, most of them learned Buddhist magic. Most female cultivators were unable to learn the masculine and powerful Buddhist magic. Therefore, after two generations, almost all the Buddhist magic of the Fox Zen School became lost. In order to change the situation, the Mystical Silver Fox secretly disguised herself as a nun and sneaked into Mount Wutai to study Buddhist doctrines.”
“Did she learn it secretly?” Li Yundong asked.
Zi Yuan nodded. “Mystical Silver Fox turned into a nun and learned the Vajra spell secretly. However, when she practiced this spell, because it was cultivated for men, her female body would be burned by the fire. Therefore, Mystical Silver Fox went overboard and became obsessed. Later, she was saved by a passing Buddhist monk, Master Huifa, with the body of Tong Yang. Later, Mystical Silver Fox felt that she saved her life and was willing to serve her. However, she was severely rebuked by Master Huifa, who said that it was a kindness to lose Tong Yang by saving people. Although they did evil together, they were kind. If they were greedy for beauty, they would lose their Buddhist hearts. Although you did a good deed to repay a kindness, it ended with a bad result!
“After that, Master Huifa drove the Mystical Silver Fox down the mountain. The Mystical Silver Fox was ashamed, resentful, and angry. She felt that Master Huifa hated her because of her fox demon body and her six impure roots. Therefore, the Mystical Silver Fox vowed to cultivate into an immortal and humiliate Master Huifa.”
Li Yundong was fascinated by her words and couldn’t help sighing. “How could the relationship have been so bad?”
Zi Yuan shook her head with a wry smile and said, “That was nothing. Later, the Mystical Silver Fox turned into a beautiful female Taoist and sneaked into the sacred land of Taoism, Mount Longhu, to learn Taoist magic arts. Later, because of his natural fox charm, Zhang Guang became obsessed with her and fell in love with her. Zhang Guang was obsessed with the Mystical Silver Fox, and he even abandoned his fiancee, Mao Jiao, who had been willing to marry him. Zhang Guang’s behavior irritated her father, who was the great grandmaster of the Maoshan Sect, Mao Kong. From then on, Mount Longhu stopped playing nice, and they attacked for more than ten years. Since then, the southern Taoist sects haven’t gotten along with each other.”
Li Yundong couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Is there such a thing? I only know that the southern Taoist sect is seemingly in harmony but actually in disarray, but I don’t know why. Why haven’t I heard of this before? I haven’t seen any records in the spirit space!”
Zi Yuan sighed and said, “The two major Taoist sects became enemies over a fox spirit. Both sides suffered heavy losses and were ashamed of each other. Of course, they didn’t discuss the matter. The Zhengyi School even abolished the position of Sect Leader Zhang Guang and erased any evidence of him, as if this person had never appeared.”
Li Yundong was stunned when he heard that. He couldn’t help but ask again, “What about the latter part?”
Zi Yuan said again, “The Mystical Silver Fox provoked a big war between the southern Taoist sects alone. After that, the two sects suffered heavy losses. Mao Kong and Mao Jiao were killed in a battle of martial arts, and their bodies and spirits were destroyed. Zhang Guang and his disciples also died miserably. After the battle between the one sect and the Maoshan Sect, the two big sects issued an order to kill the Mystical Silver Fox at the same time. From then on, most Taoists in the world killed the people of the Fox Zen School when they saw them!
“In order to save his life, the Heavenly Mystery Fox became stronger. She turned into an old woman and sneaked into the Black Sect of the Mount He Tao Pavilion. She stole the supreme elixir of Taoism, Diyuan Jindan and The Three-Dan Classics. From then on, she combined Buddhist and Taoist magic arts together and became a master of both Buddhism and Taoism. After the Mystical Silver Fox had reached an advanced stage of cultivation, she came to Mount Wutai and challenged Master Huifa in public as she wished. Master Huifa’s power was greatly reduced because his body was broken and his fighting skills were overwhelmed. After humiliating him for a while, the Mystical Silver Fox left.
“Three days after Master Huifa was injured, his disciple Wuneng announced that the Mystical Silver Fox was a great enemy of Buddhism and began to smear the Mystical Silver Fox and her sect on various occasions. Therefore, over time, the world came to think of the Fox Zen School as wild. After the Mystical Silver Fox reached the peak realm of Buddhism and Taoism, she was still unwilling to accept it. At that time, she finally did something that almost destroyed the cultivation world.”
Li Yundong’s expression froze when he heard that. He quickly asked, “What’s was it?”
Zi Yuan was about to say something, but suddenly the kitchen door opened with a crash. Su Chan stood at the doorway and said in surprise, “Yundong, there are guests here!”
Li Yundong was stunned. “Who?”
Su Chan said with a strange expression, “Wan Zhenyuan!”
Li Yunyang and Zi Yuan looked at each other and asked, “What is he doing here?”
