Chapter 273: Chapter 131: Ten Thousand Fox Well
The young man before her had a cultivation that wasn't high, but the strength within his body lay dormant like a Serpentine Dragon, giving one a sense of immeasurable depth.
Of course, that wasn't what mattered, no matter how strong he was, at his level, it was impossible for him to defeat those in the Galaxy Realm, what surprised her was that within the opponent's body, she felt the presence of the Supreme Secret Technique of the Fox Charm Destiny.
Everyone in the Zouyi Dynasty knew that she practiced the Fox Charm Destiny, but they were unaware that this grade-3 Destiny had many branches, and she was one of the eight major branches—'Charming Face'.
In Qingqiu Mountain, the birthplace of such a Destiny, there was a saying: “Appearance is inferior to bone, bone is inferior to look, look is inferior to heart, heart is inferior to intent.”
The meaning was that Charming Face was inferior to seductive bone, seductive bone was inferior to seductive look, seductive look was inferior to seductive heart, and seductive heart was inferior to Charming Intent.
With Fox Charm, the most important thing was intent, everything else was merely supplementary.
It was for this reason that she wasn't valued among the eight branches; this was why she had been married off to a distant land, with no one inquiring after her for a hundred years.
She thought she would live out her life here with no chance for reversal, but unexpectedly, she saw the Supreme Secret Technique on the other person.
This was the core strength of the Fox Charm Destiny. Even she had not been qualified to learn it in the past, how could she… see it on an outsider?
“It must be Fu Yingying!”
She hurriedly looked at the girl next to him.
Only one possibility existed for this kind of situation, that was Fu Yingying had used her Fox Charm abilities on Zhang Xuan, and he was unable to resolve it, which allowed her to sense it.
Could it be… this girl who was only at the first level had realized not the peripheral 'Charming Face,' but the core 'Charming Intent'?
To cultivate the Charming Face Destiny and then try to cultivate Charming Intent was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but to cultivate Charming Intent and accommodate Charming Face, was extremely easy.
That was what made the Supreme Secret Technique so fearsome: the eight branches could all be accommodated and condensed into a complete Fox Charm Destiny!
If that were the case, not to mention the Fu Family growing stronger, the prospect of ruling over Qingqiu Mountain in the future wasn't out of the question!
Recalling her departure, the clan head involuntarily clenched her fist.
It was humiliation, it was unwillingness.
“Qingqiu Mountain has not allowed me to return to this day; they probably still haven't had anyone comprehend the Supreme Secret Technique… If one of my descendants succeeds, why should this branch of mine not flourish!”
With an excited grip of her hand, the clan head once again looked at Fu Yingying, growing fonder the more she looked.
However, she had only sensed a trace of the aura from Zhang Xuan, which led to many thoughts. Whether it was true or not still needed further confirmation.
“All right!”
With that thought, she slowly sat up from the recliner, speaking indifferently.
In an instant, it grew quiet around her, and even the Fu Family head didn't dare to utter another word.
“Cultivation has its early and latecomers, achieving renown at a young age certainly shows exceptional talent, but steady progress and seeking victory in stability could also be another path. In the end, who is strong, who is weak, no one knows! After all, low strength now doesn't mean it will stay the same in the future, the slow horse may eventually make it, through perseverance.”
The clan head waved her hand.
Everyone was silent.
Exceptional talent was just one of the conditions to become a strong cultivator, what was more important was struggle and effort.
In history, the real peerless talents who achieved the pinnacle were few and far between. Often, those who stood at the summit were not those with the most exceptional talents, but those who worked extraordinarily hard.
After a while, the Fu Family head bowed his fists, “May I ask how we will be assessed? Clan Head, have you reached a decision?”
“Um…”
The clan head fell into thought, and after a moment, she slightly smiled, “Since the assessment is to select a successor, the level of comprehension of the Fox Charm Destiny becomes the utmost importance… Thus, your strength, the strength of these followers, is not important. What matters is whether you can be in tune with each other, whether you can cooperate tacitly. Let's not bother with formalities—I say we head straight to the Ten Thousand Fox Well!”
“Ten Thousand Fox Well? We're starting with the Ten Thousand Fox Well right away?”
The Fu Family head's face changed, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, “Is it not too dangerous to do so? Are you sure… after all, many of them hold esteemed positions. If something happens… I'm afraid I won't be able to account for it.”
“I, too, wish to proceed slowly, but the Divine Domain Flowing Colors is there, and time waits for no one. Alright, it's settled. Move quickly!”
The clan head waved her hand.
“Yes!”
Seeing her insistence, the Fu Family head didn't say more.
“What is the Ten Thousand Fox Well?” Zhang Xuan asked Fu Yingying, puzzled.
The girl shook her head, “I'm not very clear either…”
Not just her, everyone around them was full of confusion. Clearly, this was the first time they had heard of it.
Just then, the voice of the Fu Family head rang out, “I suppose everyone is unfamiliar with the Ten Thousand Fox Well, so let me explain.”
“The Ten Thousand Fox Well, built by our Fu Family, is modeled after the Ten Thousand Fox Ridge of Qingqiu Mountain. It nurtures many wild Qinghu inside—each one possessing the strength of the Galaxy Realm realm, capable of killing and Charming.”
“Not only that, but there is also a formation inside the well capable of affecting one's mind. Once you enter, it's very easy to become confused. If the cooperation is poor, a crisis of trust may arise… In that case, it will be even more dangerous, even leading to death!”
“So… Be careful with everything you see and hear in there!”
With that, the Fu Family head looked around, “I have said my piece. If you think it is too dangerous and don't wish to try, you can back out now.”
“Do you mean, people could die during the trial inside?”
A young man couldn't help but ask.
It was none other than the unfavored Seventh Prince, Shen Wujun.
“Yes!”
The Fu Family head nodded.
“Then I'm out!” Shen Wujun shook his head and took a step back.
“What? What are you doing? If you drop out, what am I supposed to do?”
Fu Weiwei turned pale next to him.
It had been difficult enough to Charm a prince with strength and status; she thought she had secured a significant advantage this time, but before it even began, he wanted to leave.
Shen Wujun shook his head, “I joined you to gain the Fu Family's support, to lay the groundwork for my further advancement. Now that I haven't received help and yet face danger, naturally it's not worth it for me.”
As a member of royalty, he had long lost his humanity; his eyes held only interests.
“Are you really going to stand by and watch me enter the Ten Thousand Fox Well alone, face danger, and not lift a finger? Can you bear to see me fail the trial and be ridiculed by our clan?”
Fu Weiwei looked over with teary eyes, and in an instant, she activated the Fox Charm Destiny, her Heavenly Mandate Vitality falling like rain, exuding immense Charm.
“I…”
Shen Wujun's face reddened, clearly torn.
“Seventh Prince, with your strength, you have nothing to fear. And you won't let me lose face, right?”
Fu Weiwei took a step forward, gazing fixedly at Shen Wujun with pitiful eyes.
“Well… Fine! Together, how could I peacefully let you go alone into danger…”
His heart softened, and Shen Wujun quickly responded.
“I knew you were the best…”
Fu Weiwei nodded excitedly and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Little did she expect that he would sober up at a critical moment. Thankfully, her skills were profound, and she successfully Charmed him again.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
This Fu Weiwei was one of the three girls who had not broken through to the second realm; her cultivation was also similar to that of Fu Yingying. With her Galaxy Realm strength and control of Destiny, forcing her to Charm a 3-dan in the Galaxy Realm was indeed a bit difficult.
Why not… Charm her first?
Fu Yingying was already weak, and any attempt to forcefully Charm a strong cultivator like Fu Jingjing might backfire.
“Is there anyone else who does not wish to proceed?”
The Fu Family head, seeing his descendant stabilize the situation at a critical moment, nodded and turned to the others, “It's not too late to regret it now, but once you enter the Ten Thousand Fox Well, it will be too late to change your mind!”
After speaking, he looked towards Zhang Xuan.
In her eyes, this man was the weakest among them; going there would mean nothing, and he was surely going to be scared and back out.
If he couldn't see her meaning, well, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
Afraid to go because it's dangerous?
From the beginning of his cultivation to now, hadn't he faced danger numerous times?
Not going… was out of the question!
“You're called Zhang Xuan, aren't you? Are you sure you want to go?”
Seeing his silence, the Fu Family head couldn't hold back any longer and spoke directly.
“Of course!”
Zhang Xuan nodded, “Yingying asked me to come; it's to help her obtain the inheritance. How could I quit halfway through?”
“Help her obtain the inheritance?”
The Fu Family head was speechless.
He really believed his own bluff! With his strength, as well as Fu Yingying's understanding of the Fox Charm Destiny… to even survive was uncertain, let alone obtain the inheritance.
Forget about the inheritance.
Contrary to her thoughts, the clan head next to them nodded involuntarily, pleased upon hearing the words.
It seemed that her guess was correct. To be so devoted, to disregard even life and death because of a mere first-level Destiny realization, if it wasn't due to the Supreme Secret Technique of the Fox Charm Destiny, what else could it be?
Knowing that when facing life and death, not to mention an admirer with no confirmed relationship, even spouses could hardly stay firm.
Spouses are birds of the same forest who fly separately when disaster strikes, and if Zhang Xuan could do this, he must have been Charmed beyond the possibility of extrication.
Thinking this, she looked towards Fu Yingying again, feeling more satisfied the more she looked.
