Chapter 435: The Function of the Fox Tail Relics (1)

The Lion Tiger Sword Saint and his wife left ahead, but Tang San was not in a rush to leave Golden Valley. The spirit essence of the Golden Tree had just merged with the tree and it had to be observed whether the fusion was optimal. If necessary, Tang San could deal with the problems that might appear.

However, as far as he could see, the fusion was perfect. After all, they were of the same species, and it was a high-level being merging into a lower-level body. The Golden Tree itself had no intelligence, so adding the spirit essence, with its thousands of years of cultivation experience and wisdom, would significantly accelerate its growth.

Tang San silently observed the state of the Golden Tree for a while. After the fusion, the spirit essence seemed to enter a dormant state to let its divine consciousness fully integrate with the Golden Tree. This was a somewhat lengthy process, because the divine consciousness was too powerful for the original Golden Tree; the spirit essence had to integrate slowly to avoid damaging it, and at the same time, the tree had to grow in order to better accommodate the power of the spirit essence. Otherwise, there was a risk of the Golden Tree bursting.

Fortunately, the spirit essence clearly knew what to do, so no problems had arisen. There was no need to worry about the Golden Tree, at least in the short term.

Even if the Solstice Empire had powerful Golden Trees, their life energy would disperse over a large area. But Golden Valley was different. Thanks to Tang San’s linked arrays, the life energy was confined within the valley and couldn’t escape, creating two completely different worlds inside and outside the valley. The life energy here was incredibly rich, and it would only become richer.

Rising into the air and treading the waves, Tang San arrived outside the cave on the other side of the lake.

“May I come in?” he called toward the cave. After all, it was full of young women inside, and he needed to avoid any misunderstandings.

Soon, chattering voices came from inside, and the girls quickly ran out. “Master, you’re here? Please come in!”

Some of the Crimson Fox girls were rather disheveled, but they didn’t seem to care in front of Tang San. They surrounded him with giggles and laughter.

After a long time of recuperation in Golden Valley, they no longer looked as pale and thin as when they first arrived. The Crimson Fox bloodline stimulated by the life energy here had significantly enhanced their beauty; they were all youthful, gorgeous, and fresh, like newly blossomed lotus flowers.

Seeing a group of beautiful girls surrounding him, Tang San felt overwhelmed and quickly said, “Everyone stand properly and quiet down.”

Seeing his serious expression, the Crimson Fox girls quickly stood properly and looked at Tang San with curious eyes.

Tang San called over Red One and asked, “How is your cultivation going? How’s it going with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eyes?”

Red One quickly replied, “Everyone is working hard on their cultivation, but our bloodline concentration is limited. We’re not progressing as quickly as we did back in the day. But last night the aura of the Golden Tree seemed to change, and it feels like our cultivation speed has increased. As for the two techniques, everyone is doing pretty well with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track now. As you said, it works exceptionally well with our Crimson Fox transformation. It’s like it was tailor-made for us.”

The Crimson Fox transformation’s ability was illusion, especially illusionary transformations. They weren’t exceptionally skilled in combat, and neither were they the best at charms among the fox clans, but they were most certainly top-notch in terms of agility and creating illusions. Tang San’s Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track indeed complemented these abilities perfectly.

Tang San nodded and said, “Your individual strength is limited, but working together, you can achieve excellent results. In the future, I’ll teach you some combination attacks. We’ll start when I return from this trip. But you need to keep working hard on your cultivation. Without enough cultivation, even the best techniques won’t be effective.”

“Yes, Master,” the Crimson Fox girls quickly bowed and agreed.

“I’ve brought something that should help you this time. I haven’t used it before, so there might be some risks, but I will personally protect you. If I’m correct, this item should resolve the bloodline issues you are facing. If you trust me, let’s give it a try.”

Red One quickly replied, “Of course we trust you, Master. Our lives are yours. We’ll do whatever you say.”

Among the eighteen Crimson Fox girls, Red One wasn’t the most beautiful, but she was the most mature. Her tall, full figure was that of a grown woman. When she looked at Tang San, her eyes always held a hint of admiration. Under her gaze, Tang San constantly reminded himself not to get carried away. These girls always believed they were at his disposal, so he had to be vigilant, not against them but against himself. Whenever he faced them, he continuously recited Mei Gongzi’s name in his heart to prevent any inappropriate thoughts.

If it were an ordinary young man facing so many beautiful girls, he might not have been able to hold back. But Tang San’s willpower was strong. Though he was kind to the girls, he always kept a certain distance. This made the Crimson Fox girls both love and hate him. They liked that their master was a gentleman but often questioned whether they really wanted him to be one.

Tang San looked at Red One and said, “Let’s start with you. Let’s go inside the cave.”

Following the Crimson Fox girls into the cave, Tang San instructed the others to guard the entrance and not let anyone in. Then he had Red One sit opposite him while he sat cross-legged, facing her.

Red One looked at Tang San curiously. Although Tang San always wore a mask now, they had seen his true face before. She could clearly feel that Tang San had become much more mature compared to their initial meeting. His tall figure was already no different from that of an adult. His clear eyes always carried a calm and wise glow. For some reason, Red One felt a special sense of peace whenever she was by his side.

A flash of light appeared in Tang San’s hand, and the three Fox Tail Relics he had obtained from the grand auction were now in his palm.

When the three Fox Tail Relics appeared, all the Crimson Fox girls present trembled, almost simultaneously looking in the direction of Tang San. The weaker ones even wobbled, and it was only with the support of their sisters that they didn’t fall to the ground.

The Fox Tail Relics were three long, transparent crystal needles, each emitting a brilliant rainbow light. They looked similar, but they were not exactly identical—they were different in size. The longest was about the length of a palm, while the shortest was only half that. Also, although the light they radiated seemed multicolored at a first glance, a closer look revealed a bright red, hair-like strand inside each crystal.

Tang San held the Fox Tail Relics in his hand, looking intensely at Red One, and asked, “Tell me, how do you feel now?”

Red One’s voice had a hint of confusion. “A bit dizzy, my body feels warm, and for some reason, I feel the need to kneel down in front of these things…. Ah! My whole body is starting to feel hot!”
