Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Planning for the Red Fox Girl

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Okay, I will try to save up more money for you and manage it well."Tang San said, "For now, those are the three things. The first one is most important; you must keep it a secret, even if the organization puts pressure on you, never tell the truth. This is for long-term considerations."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Alright. Then I'll go buy the materials now, and we can start setting up when I come back."

Tang San nodded, "I will choose a good location first, wait for you to come back."

Zhang Haoxuan hurried off.

But Tang San did not immediately go to choose a location for setting up the formation. Instead, he turned his attention to the eighteen Fox Race Girls.

"Come here," Tang San beckoned to them.

The Fox Race Girls immediately gathered around like a flock of birds, and for a moment, a fragrant breeze wafted through the air. The Fox Race Girls were known for their stunning beauty and innate charm, a characteristic of all the Fox Tribe.

The eighteen Fox Race Girls surrounded him, all with faint smiles on their faces, bowing in unison to Tang San, "Master."

Looking at them, Tang San's gaze remained exceptionally clear, "I heard that some of you have advanced your Cultivation base to the Second Stage. Who can show me your bloodline talent?"

The eldest, Red One, said, "Master, let me demonstrate."

As she spoke, a faint red glow rose from her body, and her jet-black hair instantly turned a dark red. Behind her, a long fox tail curled up, emitting a faint red halo. Around her entire body, there was a sense of being slightly ethereal.

Red One gently swayed her body, and that ethereal feeling instantly intensified.

Tang San squinted slightly, sensing with his Spiritual Power, "Refraction. Is this the effect of a Second Stage bloodline's ability?"

Indeed, the Red One in front of him was not in her true location. She appeared to refract her image about a meter around herself, creating that feeling of being ethereal. It wasn't very strong but was quite practical. It could easily cause an opponent to misjudge in the face of a strong enemy, especially during remote attacks. Of course, in front of Tang San's powerful Spiritual Power, she could not hide at all.

"Yes. Master, you are amazing, you saw through it right away," Red One nodded and said.

"Yeah, Master, you are so amazing! How did you figure it out?"

"Master, you seem even more handsome than before, you look a bit different from last time."

"Master, you've grown taller."

"Master, that Golden Tree is so magical, I'm about to evolve too."

Zhang Haoxuan left, and seeing that Tang San wasn't very old, the Fox Race Girls suddenly became lively.

"Everybody, quiet down," Tang San waved his hand, and an invisible oppressive force burst forth from him, instantly quieting the Fox Race Girls.

"I could see Red One's changes because my Spiritual Power is strong enough. Your illusions cannot hide from me; I can lock onto your life signature through Spiritual Power."

A bit stupefied, Red One asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Tang San said, "I will explain it to you slowly later. I'll be setting up a magic array recently and will often come over. The greatest feature of your Red Fox Tribe bloodline is the virtual, as your Cultivation base strengthens, so will your virtual ability. However, your combat ability itself is limited, though it's good enough for self-protection. I've had some thoughts recently, I might be able to enhance your power, but that's a matter for another time. Your foundation is weak, especially in terms of physicality, and needs proper nourishment. Therefore, you must insist on cultivating near the Golden Tree, absorbing the life force it offers to strengthen yourselves and solidify your foundation. As the Life Aura of the Golden Tree grows denser, the benefits it brings to you will also increase. After cultivating for a year, your foundations should be stable. Then, I will find a way to enhance your overall abilities."

"What you can concurrently develop now is in terms of spiritual abilities. Today, I will teach you a Cultivation method called Purple Demon Eyes. Starting tomorrow, before dawn each day, you need to climb to the top of the adjacent mountain and cultivate facing the rising sun. Climbing the mountain is also a form of physical training. It will help you absorb life force." S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Having been nurtured beside the Golden Tree for some days now, the bodies of the Fox Race Girls had already shown some obvious improvements; at least they weren't as frail as when they had first arrived. Now was the time to introduce new abilities to them. Spiritual Power and their Red Fox Transformation virtual abilities were closely related, so Tang San decided to teach them Purple Demon Eyes. These skills would become an important help to him in the future. Moreover, once the Fox Race Girls' Cultivation base reached a certain level, he would ask Zhang Haoxuan to see if they could join the Redemption Academy to learn more and understand this world better.

Red One took the lead and said, "Thank you, Master."

Tang San waved his hand and said, "You must study seriously. If you have any questions, ask me immediately. No one should fall behind. Those who haven't reached the Second Stage must also work hard."

Right then, he imparted the method of cultivating Purple Demon Eyes to the girls, and personally demonstrated the path of its circulation.

Zhang Haoxuan had brought back the materials needed for the Formation in just half a day. Before his return, Tang San had already completed the positioning and rough outline of eighteen Spirit Gathering Formations. The specific execution would be up to Zhang Haoxuan to complete. This was also giving the mayor elder a chance for practical operation. The Fox Race Girls watched from the side.

These eighteen Spirit Gathering Arrays were the basis for the Devouring Heaven Formation designed by Tang San. Tang San himself had come to the peaks around the valley to set up several Illusion Arrays. These Illusion Arrays would later connect with the Devouring Heaven Formation inside the valley, using the energy of the Devouring Heaven Formation to maintain them and thereby forming a circulating system. The two types of Formations interconnected, creating a closed loop that enabled the Formations to exist for a long time.

The magic of a Formation lies in this; even a single array, no matter how complex, generally only produces one effect. However, to truly harness the power of heaven and earth, or to unleash an immensely powerful force, different Formations need to be interlinked, complementing each other in the design.

Ever since buying the Fox Race Girls, Tang San had been considering how to arrange their future. Humans are so vulnerable in this world; if it were just up to him to change everything, he would need to become the Godking again. And whether he could change anything after becoming a Godking was uncertain. Therefore, he also needed assistance, needed to cultivate his own power.

The foundation of the Fox Race Girls was weak and their bloodline not strong. How could they become powerful on their own? After communicating multiple times with Zhang Haoxuan about Formations, and learning that the world's Formations were relatively rudimentary, Tang San decided to have the Fox Race Girls follow this path. With his own expertise in Formations, teaching them was certainly no problem.

The Spirit Gathering Array was a relatively simple magic array, so they started with that.

For the following week, Tang San came over every day to arrange the Formations while guiding the Fox Race Girls on the cultivation of Purple Demon Eyes and Formation techniques.

What comforted him was that the girls were all quite intelligent and had essentially grasped the basics. Now, time was needed. The Red Fox Transformation Bloodline did not provide them with strong power, but because of their bloodline characteristics, they had quite a talent for Spiritual Power cultivation.

After arranging the eighteen Spirit Gathering Arrays, through practical operation, Zhang Haoxuan had essentially mastered the setup of this Formation. Then he followed Tang San to learn about setting Illusion Arrays. For Illusion Arrays, Tang San provided special guidance to the Fox Race Girls, as they were inherently skilled in transformation abilities. If they could combine their transformation abilities with such Illusion Arrays in the future, it would likely be greatly beneficial to them.
