Chapter 3, The Little Fox
I said, how could it be that this little thing is here to steal the air... it is quite clever...
This little thing has surprisingly learned to give gifts and bribes as well
Only spirits without inheritance, lacking in cultivation, can only grasp this little superficial method, making it difficult to achieve any significant accomplishments
The little fox must have sensed it, coming over at this time every day to absorb spiritual energy beside Wang Ling, and then practicing cultivation.
However, since Wang Ling went out at the age of five, he has never returned.
And Wang Ling is diligently practicing the art of energy cultivation
Every night, when he practiced, that little fox would also come, occasionally bringing some gifts.
Therefore, the cultivation methods from another world, if they are to be applied in this different world, how could they possibly be suitable if they are used without any adjustments at all
This is truly the profound essence of the Taichu Dragon and Tiger Golden Elixir Thunder Method cultivated by Wang Ling, which combines inner alchemy and thunder techniques. In the previous life, it was an unparalleled Daoist method, incredibly powerful
The remarkable aspect of Wang Ling's Taichu Dragon Tiger Great Elixir Thunder Method lies in its ability to simultaneously gather energy while refining it, nourishing the five internal organs and meridians
Wang Ling couldn't help but shake her head slightly; this little Bai has come to deliver gifts again
If not dead in that valley and ravine, then captured by the authorities and directly beheaded
Often, one can only rely on the passage of time and the accumulation of magical power
Wang Ling still thought that this fox would be scared and would probably not dare to come for a while
However, after being reincarnated in this world, various adjustments were made according to the circumstances of this world
Unbeknownst to them, this little fox is clever, likely sensing the convergence of spiritual energy here, which is beneficial to it
Fortunately, before he departed, he left behind a scroll of silk books at home, passing down this method of cultivation.
Watching this little fox sit cross-legged in a proper manner, even performing the gesture of concluding its practice.
Since even ghosts and deities are numerous, it is only natural that fairies exist as well, which does not seem to be anything strange
It was Wang Ling who resided in the mountains guarding the tomb, and during the night when practicing martial arts, a little fox often came to learn stealthily.
At this moment, within the sea of consciousness, that indistinct and blurry white shadow, which is the primordial spirit, slowly descends into the central palace, receiving the nourishment of breath, gradually becoming stronger and clearer bit by bit
As time changes and the world evolves, the two worlds are indeed different; how could the principles of the great way be entirely the same
There is even a faint sense of regret; living in the mountains is lonely, and the practice is arduous. Having a little fox as company is actually quite interesting
This practice, although learned by Wang Ling in a previous life
When Wang Lingyun was circulating the Qi, the little fox appeared increasingly joyful, following along with the breath to absorb it
Currently, although Wang Ling practices these techniques, he is very cautious and only cultivates them in secret
However, when Wang Ling opened his eyes, as expected, he saw a pure white fox that had somehow sneaked into the room, lying beside him and amusingly striking a pose as if it were completely at ease.
Therefore, the practice of Qi cultivators requires either a specially arranged quiet room or the presence of a guardian, or it necessitates the use of certain magical treasures to suppress and drive away external demons
In this world, the way of the Dao is disrupted by literature and law, while the way of the knight infringes upon prohibitions through martial means. Both are targets of severe crackdown by the authorities
The snow-white fur is quite conspicuous in the darkness, yet its speed is extremely fast, truly resembling lightning
Although his father was a member of the Danling Wang clan, he ventured out to seek the Dao and pursue immortality, and would be away for several months or even half a year at a time
In ancient legends, it is often the case that monsters that have cultivated for five hundred or even a thousand years are not opponents of monks or Taoists who have only practiced for a few decades
This old Confucian is the county's educational official. Although he holds a bureaucratic position, he has devoted his life to nurturing his character, embodying integrity and strictness.
Such animals, plants, and the like can already be referred to as spirits or strange beings
However, regardless of the world of Qi practitioners, they are most cautious during their Qi cultivation.
As the five organs are nourished, the vital energy gradually strengthens
The little fox did not expect Wang Ling to wake up so early this time, and was startled, slipping away with a whoosh and disappearing.
For example, a rabbit that has been bitten to death, or birds, or poisonous snakes
He was originally puzzled, wondering what use it was for this little fox to simply imitate his actions without understanding the methods of internal refinement
The items used by such individuals are sufficient to frighten away ordinary spirits
Generally speaking, if living beings happen to obtain an opportunity, consume the Imperial Flow Elixir, or encounter some other chance, after awakening their spiritual intelligence, they will come to understand some rudimentary methods of Qi refinement
Such matters are not surprising in ancient traditions
The arrangement here by Wang Ling also exists, and it was Wang Yue who assisted by placing a commonly used inkstone of an old Confucian scholar in the room
It is said that Wang Ling was able to access the cultivation techniques of this world because they were left behind by his father in this lifetime
Upon seeing Wang Ling wake up, it did not show any fear nor did it flee. Instead, it placed its two paws in front of its head and bowed to Wang Ling, then darted out through the crack in the door.
However, Wang Ling did not expect that on this night, the little fox not only came, but also brought a gift, a rabbit that had been killed by its bite
For example, Baiyue, Tuna, and so on
Once, Wang Ling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, you little rascal, not only are you stealing knowledge, but you're also stealing my energy..."
At this moment, Wang Ling's internal organs appeared almost transparent during introspection
From this day forward, Wang Ling practiced in the mountains, gathering energy and refining his spirit every day
What is referred to as "Dao" is consistent throughout, yet "Fa" is also a manifestation of the great Dao, evolving with the times
Especially in this world, which is filled with spiritual energy and is quite primitive
There were even several occasions when money, phoenix hairpins, and even jade pendants were sent.
At this moment, if a Qi Refinement practitioner were to see this, they would undoubtedly be greatly astonished, as it would be absolutely unimaginable that someone from the prominent Danling Wang family has actually engaged in cultivation, and has even reached such a level.
Every day during Wang Ling's cultivation, it would come running and squat beside Wang Ling, seemingly meditating in a manner that appeared quite proper
It turns out that when one operates the celestial mechanism and gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy from all directions converges around oneself
One can distinctly sense the strong earthy odor from above, likely emanating from the graves that have been excavated
Therefore, it is not surprising that people speculate that Wang Ling's father in this life has already passed away
Several coins were left on the ground, quite eye-catching
Those who practice martial arts and refuse to serve the court or work for the government are all targets of severe repression
During such a time of gas extraction, the exchange between the internal and external environments is most likely to invite external demons to invade
Every year at the entrance of the county town, there are always some heads of practitioners that have been severed hanging there
At first, there was some fear of Wang Ling, but upon seeing that Wang Ling did not seem to pose any danger, gradually the courage began to grow.
At that time, the enraged clan elders wanted to burn the silk manuscript, yet they were unaware that Wang Ling had already taken precautions and had memorized the contents of the manuscript long before.
