Chapter 202: 196·Qi Luck Cream

Little Fox didn’t know that as soon as Fang Xiang got back, he went to Jiang Ziwen to complain.

After spending this period together, Fang Xiang had grown increasingly fond of Little Fox, who was lively and adorable, yet single-mindedly wanted to transform into a human form and run off to the man from the human race she liked.

Although he was just a subordinate to Jiang Ziwen, he had long since come to regard Little Fox as his junior.

So, upon his return, the first thing Fang Xiang did was go to Jiang Ziwen to tattle.

Now, after calling Little Fox over, Jiang Ziwen began to inquire about what she had learned during her time at Corpse Nether Sect.

Little Fox cheerfully said, "The people at the Corpse Nether Sect are not bad, and the things written in their books are very powerful. They cover everything from flesh and bones to even Qi Acupoints. It feels like they know so much! But..."

"Xiang is also very clever, and I’ve learned it all! I believe that after earnestly cultivating for a while, I will definitely succeed in transforming!"

Jiang Ziwen smiled and nodded, looking at his adopted daughter.

"Xiang, I know you’re kindhearted, but you don’t have to defend them. What they did, do you think I’m not aware of it?"

Recently, Little Fox had been running errands for her adoptive father every day, so she naturally knew his way of doing things.

"Let it be, adoptive father, after all, they let me see their books, and nobody bothered me while I was there, it’s all been settled."

Hearing these words, Jiang Ziwen shook his head.

"Do you know? I originally guided the founder of Corpse Nether Sect because I saw he was a decent person. You could say that although he was the founder of the Corpse Nether Sect, the actual origin of the Sect’s lineage comes from me!"

Little Fox widened her eyes at these words, looking at her adoptive father.

"Without me, there would be no Corpse Nether Sect as it is today. So, after you went there, it wouldn’t have mattered if it was just the books, even if you had torched the whole Sect, it would have been fine! But what happened? The Sect Master didn’t even come out to see you, this is simply preposterous!"

Little Fox immediately laughed and snuggled up to her adoptive father, pulling on his sleeve and said in a coquettish manner, "Xiang obviously knows how good adoptive father is to me! Even though sometimes adoptive father can be very imposing, looking so powerful, sometimes being imposing is enough, there’s no need to always be like that, hehe..."

Jiang Ziwen knew that Little Fox was being tactful in her speech.

What she called imposing, she really meant fierce.

"Forget it. Ultimately, I had anticipated that Corpse Nether Sect would act this way. The founder of Corpse Nether Sect has been dead for many years now, and for all these years, the Sect has not developed much, and that’s due to their own reasons."

"However, the value of the help they offered you doesn’t even match the worth of the phalanx I had you bring back. So, I still owe you some compensation."

As he spoke, a gourd suddenly appeared in Jiang Ziwen’s hand.

The large gourd looked very worn and seemed as if it would break open with a mere touch.

"Xiang, do you know? Back when the world was in chaos and wars were endless, countless orphaned spirits and exposed corpses littered the wilderness. When I went to the mortal world to collect those lost souls, I met a young Little Taoist who, although he wasn’t skilled, was willing to properly bury those dead and gather the unknown skeletons to inter them and erect tombstones."

"Although this was not healing the sick and rescuing the injured, it was still a great act of virtue. I took a liking to this Little Taoist and worked with him to collect the bones and eventually taught him the Corpse Refinement Method. I instructed him to Refine the bodies of some evil men into Iron Corpses and use them to do good deeds. Later, that Little Taoist went on to establish the Corpse Nether Sect."

"It’s just that, everything about the Corpse Nether Sect was fine except for its not-so-good reputation, which made people feel as if it were part of the Demon Path. I asked the Little Taoist about it, and he said it didn’t matter. As long as what he did was what he wanted to do in his heart, and what he approved of doing was enough."

"Later, when he was on his deathbed, I went to visit him, and he broke off a section of his finger for me, saying it was a token that I could use to call upon Corpse Nether Sect in the future if I ever needed help, and the descendants of the Sect would repay me. At the same time, he entrusted seventy percent of the Sect’s Qi Luck to me."

"I still remember he once said, ’If my descendants have benevolence, I shall assist their growth with seventy percent of my Qi Luck. If they forget their roots and become degenerate, then I shall keep the seventy percent of Qi Luck for my own use. Now, my foster father is repaying the debt of gratitude we had back then with seventy percent of the Corpse Nether Sect’s Qi Luck."

As he spoke, Jiang Ziwen patted Little Fox on the head, who immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground, perfectly maintaining human form.

Although Little Fox could occasionally perform Transformation, the form was still not stable enough.

Many powerful demons are capable of Transformation, but most of them simply change their appearance to human.

It’s not about actually turning their own body into that of a human.

Therefore, changing into a human is convenient, but it also comes with many limitations, and it’s often easy to give themselves away.

But to cultivate into a human form means truly walking through the mortal world in the guise of a person; unless someone employs advanced Observation Skill or detection methods, it would be difficult to realize the true nature of the being as a demon.

The path that Little Fox had chosen was the latter, a difficult but farsighted method.

Jiang Ziwen uncorked the gourd and slowly poured it over Little Fox’s head.

A stream of golden gas flowed down, resembling cold mist yet carrying a trace of warmth within it.

Little Fox felt the warm breath descending from above, closed her eyes, and seemed to immerse herself in a special and comfortable environment.

After a moment, as Jiang Ziwen emptied all the seventy percent of the Qi Luck from the gourd to Little Fox,

Little Fox, sitting cross-legged, was enveloped by the Qi Luck, absorbing it all into her body before falling into a deep sleep.

Jiang Ziwen gave a signal with his eyes, and Fang Xiang carried Little Fox away.

Watching the retreating figures of Fang Xiang and Little Fox, Jiang Ziwen looked at the gourd in his hand and let out a cold laugh.

"Corpse Nether Sect, oh Corpse Nether Sect. Your founder spent a lifetime collecting bones and doing countless good deeds, which led to the establishment of Corpse Nether Sect. It was because the Sect’s presence was too dominant that he ordered me to take away seventy percent of its Qi Luck. Though the Qi Luck was not within the Sect, it could still flourish. What a pity..."

At this point, Jiang Ziwen himself couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Over the years, the Corpse Nether Sect had not done many good deeds, so it kept consuming its own Qi Luck without accumulating any.

In recent years, due to the consumption of twenty percent of its Qi Luck, the Sect almost faced extermination.

Now that I have taken away this seventy percent of Qi Luck, the future of the Corpse Nether Sect is predictable.

Meanwhile, Sect Master of Corpse Nether Sect, Tian Xiamian, received intelligence that the Dragon Slaying Alliance had already begun a full-scale attack on the Dragon Serpent Gang.

The assault had not started at Eighteen Moon Lake but had already begun en route.

If both sides were not just attacking and defending but were battling in the wilderness, naturally, the casualties would be much higher.

A godsend opportunity was right before their eyes.

Immense wealth and power were within reach!
