Exposed After I became an Immortal

Chapter 30: White Fox! Tu Shan Rong’er! Zijinshan’s Past!

…

“Hm? Bìbì? What kind of creature is that! I’ve never heard of it. This seems like an easy decision, let’s skip it! The Nine-Tailed Fox from Qingqiu, I’ve heard of it, but this creature eats people! Better forget it! So, there’s only one choice left! The Heavenly Fox! Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, able to transform into a human, often appearing as a beautiful woman! A divine sorceress, able to know events from a thousand miles away, skilled in enchantment, causing people to lose their minds! This one it is!”

He heard the system prompt.

[Ding! Evolution direction has been chosen. Please continue to enlighten this white fox. If the evolution fails, the host will face certain penalties.]

[If the evolution succeeds, the host will receive continuous rewards!]

Hearing heard the system prompt, a faint smile appeared on Zhu Xuanji’s face. This white fox was clever! Perhaps it could bring him many surprises in the future!

The white fox suddenly spoke.

“May I ask, is the Realized Being an immortal from overseas?”

Zhu Xuanji had been holding the white fox by the scruff, but after completing the enlightenment he put the white fox back on the ground.

The white fox didn’t run away, instead, it squatted there. Its eyes reflecting deep thought as it asked Zhu Xuanji.

Hearing the white fox’s voice, a faint smile appeared on Zhu Xuanji’s face. He looked at the white fox.

“An immortal from overseas? How do you know there are immortals overseas?”

The white fox said: “In the past! On Zijinshan, there was an immortal called Realized Being Ziwei. When Realized Being Ziwei was here, immortals from overseas came to visit and discuss the Dao. Later, Realized Being Ziwei disappeared without a trace, it was said he went overseas. Since Realized Being Ziwei left, there have been no immortals on Zijinshan! You, who have made me speak human words! It’s clear you must be an immortal. When Realized Being Ziwei was here, he mentioned the mystical arts of overseas immortals! So, I guessed you must be from overseas!”

Zhu Xuanji had thought this white fox was clever.

Hearing the white fox’s words he understood. This white fox was probably a being similar to the old turtle. It must have lived on Zhongshan for many years. Otherwise, it wouldn’t know about Realized Being Ziwei. Nor be so clever.

The old turtle was on Beigaofeng.

This white fox was on Xiaomaoshan.

It showed, all the clever and intelligent beings knew how to hide themselves.

“Haha! Where I come from doesn’t matter! Now, Zhongshan is my Dao field! I am known as Realized Being Xuanji! You have been enlightened by me! From now on, you should follow me and cultivate well! In the future, you will benefit greatly! However, if you don’t cherish this opportunity, once it’s gone, it won’t come again!”

The white fox didn’t resist, instead, it stood up like a little adult!

Its forelimbs crossed together!

Bowing to Zhu Xuanji!

“Tu Shan Rong’er greets Realized Being Xuanji! It is my great fortune to be protected by Realized Being and to cultivate under your guidance. However, a hundred years ago, I was tasked by Realized Being Ziwei to guard the thirty thousand volumes of books he left behind. When he returns, he will take me back to Tu Shan! Now, a hundred and twenty-eight years have passed, and Realized Being Ziwei’s return should be near! Please forgive me, Realized Being Xuanji! I have a prior commitment and cannot serve under Realized Being!”

Hearing the white fox’s words, a trace of surprise appeared on Zhu Xuanji’s face. To be honest, he had never expected this white fox to actually have a name!

Notwithstanding the fact that it had a connection with Realized Being Ziwei!

He had to admit, Realized Being Ziwei had sparked his curiosity.

“Tu Shan Rong’er?” Zhu Xuanji looked at the white fox.

The white fox nodded slightly.

Its behavior and actions were all human-like!

Zhu Xuanji said: “You say that Realized Being Ziwei entrusted you with guarding thirty thousand volumes of books in this mountain a hundred and twenty-eight years ago, promising to take you back to Tu Shan upon his return! So, you are not originally a fox of Zijinshan?”

Tu Shan Rong’er nodded, saying, “That’s right! One hundred and fifty years ago, I was born in Tu Shan. One day, while playing in the mountains with my sisters, I wandered into a hunter’s trap out of sheer playfulness and was captured. They took me to the market for sale. At that time, a kind young man with the surname Lin bought me with his money, keeping me as a pet at his home.

“Later, tragedy struck when the young man’s entire family was brutally murdered by the Mongol Yuan people. Fortunately, on that fateful day, the young man was visiting a friend and wasn’t at home, so he and I escaped disaster. However, the massacre changed him drastically. Consumed by revenge, he endured countless hardships and brought me to Zijinshan, hoping to become a disciple of Realized Being Ziwei to learn the immortal arts and avenge his family.

“Initially, Realized Being Ziwei was reluctant to accept him as a disciple. But driven by his intense desire for revenge, the young man knelt in the snow for ten days, nearly freezing to death. Moved by his perseverance, Realized Being Ziwei made an exception and took him under his wing. From that day on, I remained on Zijinshan with the young man. He devoted himself to practicing martial arts and studying Daoist techniques under Realized Being Ziwei. In just three short years, his progress was remarkable, and even Realized Being Ziwei praised him as an excellent student.

“However, after acquiring some skills, the young man’s desire for revenge grew stronger. He wanted to descend the mountain to exact his revenge, but Realized Being Ziwei initially forbade it. Despite this, the young man secretly left the mountain, determined to carry out his plan. He attempted to assassinate Mongol Yuan Emperor Tiemuzhen in Taijing City, the capital of Mongol Yuan’s twelve cities. He came agonizingly close to succeeding, and the assassination attempt sent shockwaves throughout the world. But ultimately, he failed, and the young man was executed.

“Realized Being Ziwei, who had supported him, was also discovered by Tiemuzhen. As a result, Tiemuzhen led his troops to Zijinshan, trying to force Realized Being Ziwei to serve as the national teacher of Mongol Yuan. Realizing the overwhelming power of Tiemuzhen, Realized Being Ziwei decided to travel far away. Before leaving, he entrusted me with guarding the thirty thousand volumes of books in a cold cave on Xiaomaoshan, promising that upon his return, he would take me back to Tu Shan and bestow upon me a great fortune.”
