Chapter 188: I Want You to Assist My Cultivation

Hu Agui called out: "Laicai, Wangfu, why are you still standing there? Why don't you invite these two in?"

Two handsome fox demons opened the door for Xu Jia and Zhang Zhenji, though they formed a stark contrast with their names, which seemed to lack any culture.

These two fox demons were both born in village fox and wild society, but they were not from the Old Crooked Neck Tree Lineage. They did not choose these names themselves; it was simply because in the village, dogs were called by these names. As the saying goes, "fox friends and dog companions," these two names were typically chosen by their dog friends.

Wild foxes generally do not have surnames. Even the surname "Hu" for Hu Jinhua was given by Xu Jia; it was the first step in properly helping them learn to be human.

The enlightenment teacher of these two village foxes was not so lucky; it was a dog demon, a big yellow dog.

If not for Hu Agui digging them out later, they would still have dog-like temperaments. These two fox spirits, though they had human appearances, carried a sense of wildness, their nostrils twitching slightly as they sniffed for scents.

Xu Jia had "flesh-body fragrance" on him and was also stained with some of Xu Mu's "sandalwood fragrance." Zhang Zhenji consumed jade, so he carried a faint, cold fragrance. However, these foxes also had the scent of fox immortals, and with their makeup and powder, the smell here was quite strange.

"I smell the scent of pure Yang essence." Laicai flicked his tongue; the tongue was sharp and long, able to lick the tip of his nose directly. This was a place where their transformation into human form was incomplete.

A feeling of pleasure made him momentarily forget to cover the traces of his tail, and a three-foot-long fox tail could be seen exposed from his buttocks, furry and swaying.

"How can you not hold yourself back?" Xu Jia said. "In the end, are you harvesting others, or are you being harvested by others?"

Wangfu knew of Xu Jia's background. He had some connection with the Single-Testicle Fox Hu Du Xiu. Previously, he had wanted to introduce Hu Du Xiu to Cuichun Pavilion to sell his body—after all, opening one's legs meant making money, and closing them meant counting it—but later, when Hu Du Xiu practiced at the Fox Immortal Hall, he became incredibly envious. He was the type who wanted his brother to do well, but feared his brother would drive a Land Rover.

He said fawningly: "He is not usually like this. It is just that the True Person is too fragrant, even more fragrant than the 'Joyous Sandalwood' we cultivate."

Joyous Sandalwood was a "Dharma gate" uniquely created by Hu Agui, but it was actually a method of "ingesting bait." Only, what was ingested was not medicinal herbs or jade, but various aphrodisiacs.

The fox demons mixed aphrodisiacs into their rice, and the breath they exhaled carried the scent of aphrodisiacs, not to mention other places, such as saliva or other bodily fluids. Once this kind of fragrant body was cultivated, it would make others unknowingly sink into it.

There is a poem as proof: "The sixteen-year-old beauty's body is like crisp pastry, the sixteen-year-old beauty's body is like crisp pastry."

One would never think of the following lines: "A sword at the waist to slay the mortal man," and "Secretly causing your marrow to wither."

One only recites: "To die under the peony flower, to be a ghost is still romantic."

Of course, Hu Agui had warned them repeatedly not to cause anyone to lose their life.

Xu Jia did not engage in small talk, only saying: "I am here to find Daoist Wang Mintong, that old man who signed the IOU."

Upstairs, Hu Agui touched her chest and feigned surprise: "So it was that old beggar? Is he a Daoist? How come he has no cultivation at all?"

"He ate my family's food and wine, ordered our girls, and held a white slip signed by Xu Jia, saying it was worth three thousand taels of silver. Now I have sent him off to wash the menstrual cloths for the girls."

"How much silver does he owe?" Xu Jia asked. "Hard to say. As soon as he came in, he said to bring the most seductive one, so I went on stage myself to accompany him. In the end, he spent the first half of the night chatting with me about romance, and in the second half, he took out a pair of chopsticks to test how deep it was. I said it would cost extra, and he agreed readily."

"The next day, he said he wanted to try a few more."

"..." Xu Jia was speechless. Does this old coffin play so wildly? Even using chopsticks to test the depth... "This old man is ugly, yet he swore he had a three-thousand-tael silver note, so we fell for his trick."

Hu Agui revealed a resentful expression: "Not to mention anything else, as long as he really produces three thousand taels of silver, this matter will be over. If he cannot produce the silver, I see that the two Daoists also have lingering charm; it is not impossible to pay with your bodies. As long as you help me cultivate once, it will be settled."

Xu Jia sneered: "Don't push your luck. I can even slay a Centipede Dragon; can I not slay you?"

"Oh my, this little woman is so scared! What law have I broken? The True Person wants to slay me? Is it reasonable for that Wang Mintong to patronize a prostitute without paying?"

Xu Jia's moral bottom line was not that high. America is magical realism; patronizing a prostitute without paying doesn't count as patronizing.

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Hu Agui say: "True Person, I am about to achieve the fruit of the Dao. I only lack the Love Tribulation to pass the seventh tribulation, achieve the status of an Earth Immortal True Person, and attain the Joyous Bodhisattva body. Even now, I have already achieved the Intermediate Yin Body Achievement. Even if you hack me, I will not die."

Xu Jia did not expect this Hu Agui to have accumulated five hundred years of cultivation so quickly. One must know that this fox was still a little fox brought out by Hu Jinhua, and when Hu Jinhua met Xu Jia, she had only cultivated for fifty years and her Daoist Practice was mediocre.

And the other little foxes had only just begun to learn the magic of transforming into humans.

Could this Hu Agui's Dharma Power have grown so fast? Is there really such a fast shortcut in this brothel Daochang, harvesting the essence of men? Hu Agui seemed to see through Xu Jia's doubts and said: "Since True Person Xu can cultivate for two lifetimes, why can't you allow me to cultivate for several lifetimes?"

Xu Jia understood instantly: "You are the ancestor fox demon of the Wild Fox Zen lineage, the fox that stole the Buddhist scriptures!"

"Correct, but unfortunately, there is no reward." Hu Agui smiled: "The True Person understands at a hint, unlike that little mongrel from the Old Crooked Neck Tree, who couldn't even guess this and lectured me like a junior."

Hu Agui said: "I also know that the True Person is troubled by the Dharma King of the Longevity Sect. She, like me, has attained the Intermediate Yin Body Achievement. She can gather or disperse at will, and is very hard to kill. As long as the True Person helps me pass the Love Tribulation, I can help the True Person deal with that Dharma King."

"Ha!" Xu Jia said: "The Love Tribulation is about seeing through small love and realizing great love. You open a brothel here and want to experience the Love Tribulation? You've read too many storybooks. You think personal love is the Love Tribulation, and that by letting go, you can become an Immortal and cross the tribulation? You're overthinking it."

Hu Agui's eyes lit up when she heard this. She came down personally, moving with flowery steps, wiggling her buttocks, and bowed deeply to Xu Jia: "I beg the True Person to teach me."

Xu Jia said: "I want to see Wang Mintong." He paid no attention to her deep cleavage.

This Hu Agui, however, thought Xu Jia was afraid to look at her cleavage and felt smug, believing Xu Jia's cultivation was not yet deep enough to slay desire.

In fact, her saying she would pass the Love Tribulation was just to coax him; she just wanted Xu Jia's Original Yang. After all, what she cultivated was the Great Joy Zen Method.

However, there are precepts in cultivation, and one must not speak recklessly. Since she has now made this statement, there will surely be a response.
