Capítulo 832: Chapter 348: Eight Foxes’ Token of Gratitude
The Fox and Huang families, though both are Wild Immortals of the Great Five Paths, possess distinct skills.
The disciples of the Huang family reveal their yellow-skinned form, excelling at infiltrating pits and deep ditches, and are extrely adept at gathering intelligence. Every day, they know how many shops open and close in a state more clearly than the Patrol Departnt of the governnt.
When it cos to the leaders of various industries and their strategies or changes within the industry, the Huang family’s keen eyes rarely miss anything.
With this unique ability, the Huang family has gained control of the state’s financial avenues, turning their Earth Cave into a treasure trove, with heaps of gold and silver.
Thus, the Huang family excels at accumulating wealth.
As for the Fox Immortals of the Fox family, they are sowhat polarized. So foxes are romantic, with Jing Country’s storytellers often spinning tales of “Fox Immortals and scholars” in their eloquent speeches.
However, most Fox Immortals prefer to gather and study the Dao, with clan elders setting up altars to preach, aspiring to the essence of the sun and moon, and the dragon light of Heaven and Earth. Among the Wild Immortals of the Five Paths, the Fox family is the most spiritual and has the greatest understanding of the “Heaven and Earth Laws” among the spirit monster clans, and this is the reason.
Because Fox Immortals reveal their true forms, they are naturally adept at running. While they cannot compete with artists or Zhou Xuan in the Heaven and Earth Extre Speed, they can weave through mountains and states as if they were flowing clouds.
The demonic form excels at traveling vast distances. The Foxes of the Fox family on the path of the Dao have joined the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Masters, connecting with Zhou Xuan, Yun Ziliang, and Zhao Wuya of the Dragon Seeking Orthodox in their teachings.
Currently, the Red Fox of Huangyuan employs their innate divine skills, hastily traveling thousands of miles to deliver food aid to the disaster victims of Mingjiang Prefecture.
There is no grain in the mountains, only abundant wildlife. Naturally, what the Fox family brings isn’t rice or sorghum but one wild delicacy after another—pheasants, wild rabbits, mountain wolves…
Coincidentally, Mingjiang Prefecture lacks precisely these.
One red fox after another approached Zhou Xuan, transforming into human form, unloading the large bamboo baskets from their backs, and tipping them over to reveal several wild rabbits and pheasants with broken necks spilled on the ground, making the disaster victims watching salivate and eager to start.
Plump and succulent rabbits like these, even in prosperous tis of Mingjiang Prefecture, were not sothing everyone could savor.
“Gulp, gulp!”
So onlookers had already begun swallowing their saliva, their Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, causing laughter: “Da Li, you’re drooling?”
“Aren’t you tempted? I heard long ago that the pheasants in the mountains have firm at, and if fried with high heat and a little chili and shrimp skin added, the taste is indescribable…”
“You’re quite the gourt, aren’t you?”
Everyone burst into laughter,
The tide of red foxes surged forth and then retreated, leaving behind several small hills of wild ga on the playground before the porridge shed.
“The people of the Fox family are genuine and spirited, knowing that we lack at now, so they send at.”
Zhou Xuan gazed at the mountain of wild ga, and the frown on his forehead gradually relaxed.
Until the last nine red foxes transford into human form and unloaded eighteen large baskets from their backs, which were no longer wild ga but rare treasures from the mountains—white tiger skins, leopard skins, and various furs need not be ntioned, but there were mostly matsutake mushrooms, lingzhi, and others.
Matsutake is always a valuable delicacy, appreciated by high society, and in Jing Country, it is more precious than equivalent gold,
Lingzhi is dubbed a celestial herb, consistently purchased by major pharmacies, hospitals, and tangkous, where price is no issue. As long as they could source it, they would buy as much as possible. However, due to limited supply, it’s still insufficient, and its price exceeds that of matsutake several tis over.
Mingjiang Prefecture, Ping Shui Prefecture, and Yellow Field Prefecture all have nurous wooden platforms, which apart from the timber business, occasionally open pathways for mountain delicacies.
Mountain delicacies are also a major business in Jing Country.
The Painter, who has managed the Bone Elder Association for years and is backed by the “Taiping Gentleman,” has been exposed to countless mountain delicacies. When he saw these baskets upon baskets of mountain treasures, he was imdiately tongue-tied. These aren’t just mountain treasures, they’re baskets full of gold.
“Your Fox family brings a truly weighty gift.”
Zhou Xuan said to the Red Fox Elder, Hu Dengfeng.
“The great teacher is a great benefactor to our Fox family, and naturally, we must bring a weighty gift to the door. However, the mountains of Yellow Field Prefecture are lacking, and these mountain treasures of our Red Dragon Fox Clan fall short. The Fox families of the other eight prefectures are all gathering at Mingjiang Prefecture, and the gifts from the other state’s Fox families are what you would call heavy.”
“Your gift is already quite substantial. On behalf of the Divine Departnt of Mingjiang Prefecture, I, Zhou Xuan, thank the Red Dragon Fox Clan for their support.”
Zhou Xuan and the Painter, together with Hu Dengfeng, clasped their fists in salute.
Hu Dengfeng also solemnly bowed, unwilling to delay Zhou Xuan further. He also clasped his fists: “While in Yellow Field Prefecture, I heard about how the great teacher not only has profound Daoism but wields a sixteen-motion blade that cleaves light and shadow, fiercely slashing the Saint Heir, Saintess, and the three-headed stone Buddha, dazzling the nine prefectures of Jing Country,
I’ve also heard that the great teacher has a storytelling gift that keeps audiences lingering. If today there’s an opportunity, our Red Dragon Fox Clan would boldly request the great teacher to tell us a story. Still, Mingjiang Prefecture is severely affected by disasters and relies on the great teacher’s schedule. This story…”
“If I have the fortune to visit Yellow Field Prefecture in the future, I will surely tell the Red Dragon Fox Clan a story.”
“The great teacher is ticulous.” Hu Dengfeng imdiately began to say farewell: “Until mountains and water et again, we take leave here, and the green mountains do not change…”
“…the green waters flow long.” Zhou Xuan once again clasped his fists.
Both parties nodded in understanding, and Hu Dengfeng turned and shouted out, “Young ones, let’s go!”
After he scread, he took a few steps forward, transforming from human to fox shape again, leading tens of thousands of red foxes westward in a run…
