Chapter 52: Transformation (Part 1)

  Huang Mao Hu Li also did the same, she thought that compared to Xuan Kong, she was still somewhat inferior, but compared to Wang Jun, she was a small fox who had ambitions to become a fox fairy.

  Nature is more deserving of the title "a man of virtue" than Wang Jun.

  But she didn't think of one thing: this yellow fox is not even human yet, so how can it be considered a virtuous "person"?

  Xuan Kong hadn't reacted yet, but Wang Qi had already jumped up in a rage. He was so angry that he laughed and scolded: "Damn it, Master Dao's treasure is something I should have, you fox spirit dare to come and snatch it!"

  He trembled with his fingers pointing at the little fox, and that yellow-haired fox didn't care about Wang Qi's anger. Seeing him use his hand to poke himself, he bit back in a show of not being weak.

  Previously, Wang Qi was furious and jumped up in anger, but this time he was bitten and jumped up.

  "Grandma, it bit me!" Wang Qi pulled his finger out of the fox's mouth with great difficulty and tattled to Xuan Kong with a sniffle. The little fox, seeing that things were not going well, also nuzzled its head over, wrapped its four limbs around Xuan Kong's leg, and rubbed its fluffy little head against Xuan Kong's leg.

  The little fox wriggled uncomfortably on Xu Kong's leg and looked up at him with its eyes.

  Xuán Kōng and the little fox locked eyes, only to find that the pair of apricot-like eyes were full of charm, and for a moment, he was entranced. Luckily, his cultivation was deep, and he quickly snapped out of it, shifting his gaze as he thought to himself: "Wow, this little fox is quite formidable, it's even learned how to be cute!"

  Wang Jun saw the little fox and Shizun getting close, and smiled: "This yellow-haired fox is almost becoming a spirit."

  Xuan Kong didn't want to get involved in this matter, and intentionally wanted to test Wang Jun's temperament, so he said: "Anyway, this tortoise treasure was given to you by your seventh uncle Wang as a gift for meeting when you became his apprentice, you deal with it yourself." Then he closed his eyes and meditated, no longer speaking.

  "Is that so......" King Jun looked at the little fox holding onto Guibao without letting go, his eyes full of pleading.

  Look at Wang Qi's uncle again, his eyes rolled and he had an idea. He walked to the front of the little fox and wanted to take the turtle treasure with his hand. However, this yellow-haired little fox stood up on its hind legs, holding the turtle treasure tightly in its arms with its two front paws, exactly like a Xuan Kong seeing its treasure for the first time.

  Wang Jun thought of his master deceiving Wang Qi to get the turtle treasure, and it was this same gaze. He couldn't help but chuckle and let go of his hand.

  He took a few steps back, pointing to the little fox holding the turtle treasure in his arms. The little fox looked at Wang Jun, then at Xuan Kong, and finally at the turtle treasure, making "chirping" sounds as he bit down on the small tiger tooth, closed his eyes tightly, and handed the turtle treasure over to Wang Jun.

  This reluctant and lingering appearance made Wang Jun's heart soften, and he felt that the person in front of him was not a beast, but a little girl who gritted her teeth and handed over something she loved.

  Wang Jun and Wang Qi exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of guilt for bullying a little girl.

  Wang Jun took the tortoise treasure from the little fox's hand, and the yellow-haired little fox seemed to have all its energy drained away, lying weakly in the corner of the wall, whimpering. Wang Jun scratched his head, walked up to Wang Qi's side, and bowed: "Disciple Wang Jun, thank you, Master Uncle, for bestowing the treasure. As a junior, I dare not decline; from now on, I will focus on my cultivation and make our Lao Mountain sect's Taoist teachings flourish!"

  Wang Qi's expression was as if he had seen a ghost, it was really strange and bizarre, could it be that Xuan Kong had cast some kind of spell on himself?

  Why is everyone close to him becoming discolored?

  The little fox learned about Xuan Kong's greedy side, and Wang Jun had only just started learning from him for less than an hour when he mastered all of Xuan Kong's tricks. Could it be that fate had brought them together as master and disciple?

  It turned out that this was indeed correct, and Wang Qi also understood the thoughts of his junior master. He helplessly waved his hand: "Forget it, since this treasure has been given to you, you can deal with it yourself."

  He was actually afraid of the two disciples of Xuan Kong, and he had already eaten his own words. From now on, if he had anything good to gain, he would have to keep it well, and not let these two old thieves get their hands on it.

  Wang Jun bowed his head in gratitude, turned around and walked to the corner of the wall with a faint smile, stretched out the turtle treasure in his hand, and said: "This is the gift my master gave me when we met, now I'll pass it on to you." He and Xuan Kong were indeed master and apprentice.

  Treasures in hand, hard-won, but giving them away is a generous act.

  He couldn't bear to see Wang Qi standing next to him, so he sighed and got up to return to his own room. He patted his chest, relieved that he still had the "Sword Controlling Secret" given by his senior brother as compensation, or else he would have been busy for nothing.

  The little fox's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he couldn't believe it, so he raised his head to see King Jun smiling sincerely, only then did he believe it was true.

  He hastily jumped up, hugged the turtle with his four limbs, put it in his mouth and held it, then raised two front paws together to King Wang, shook them twice as if making a bow. Then, imitating Xuan Kong, he neatly arranged his two hind legs and sat down.

  Wang Qi saw the fox and immediately sat down, hastily calling out: "It's bad, Big Brother Master, our family's fox has become a monster!"

  Just as he was about to rush back to his room to grab the treasure sword, Xuan Kong opened his mouth to stop him: "I see that this fox has a clear aura around it, unlike other demons who are full of demonic energy. It must also be a spirit with a heritage and a heart towards the Tao, but you, my junior brother, are making a big fuss over nothing."

  Wang Jun also looked at it with surprise, he had seen animals that understood human nature before, but this fox that was almost indistinguishable from a human was still the first time he had ever seen one. Cultivated to this point, apart from not having shed its physical body yet, the yellow-haired fox and humans were originally not much different anyway.

  Wang Qi's forehead was covered in black lines, and it was the first time he had heard of a demon who was devoted to the Tao.

  If even monsters are devoted to the Tao, what about oneself? Is it also a demonic path that associates with monsters? He learned from the teachings of Yimao Daochang that monsters must be evil spirits that harm humans and must be killed on sight.

  But Master Xuan Kong gave a new answer, "Generally speaking, when fox spirits are formed, they all follow the ancient Qingqiu Mountain lineage. In those days, the Queen of Qingqiu Mountain was the wife of Da Yu, the king who controlled the waters. So, do you think this King Da Yu is good or bad?"

  King Yu thought: "The Great Yu is one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who controlled the world's floodwaters three times in front of his house without entering, which is naturally good."

  Xuankong smiled and said, "That's exactly the reason why even Da Yu Wang didn't teach you to kill a fox as soon as you see one. You can put your mind at ease for now and watch this little fox transform." He still had something in his stomach that he hadn't said, which was also related to that same principle.

  The crow that has become a spirit, accepted the Taoist tradition of Emperor Jun, the ancient heavenly emperor. In ancient times, humans had not yet become the masters of heaven and earth, and they still had to bow their heads in front of Emperor Jun. So, is the crow spirit good or bad? Similarly, there are countless examples like this. Even if you want to slaughter a big fat pig, you have to consider whether it will offend the Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven's Pure Altar!

  He didn't think much, just held his breath and watched how the little fox transformed into a human. This scene is not easy to see, and Xuankong also needs to be prepared, but he doesn't know how many true yuan are left in the Eight Great Kings' tortoise treasure. If the little fox's refinement of the tortoise treasure triggers the Three Calamities Heavenly Tribulation, he will have to think of a way to divert it.
