Chapter 625: Chapter 622: The Intangible Contest

"Is that true?" the Heavenly Master Girl was herself confused. She had been at Fanyin Temple at the time but had never heard that the "Heart Sutra" was the bane of the Charming Technique.

In her understanding, there were only two possibilities to resist the Charming Technique: either you were a woman, or your spiritual realm was high enough. Other than that, even eunuchs could not be immune to the Charming Technique.

Lin Tian nodded, saying earnestly, "Of course."

"I don’t believe it. I know the ’Heart Sutra’ as well, but it does not have that kind of power. How could it possibly resist the Fox Clan’s Charming Technique?" Fox Concubine still believed Lin Tian had something else to rely on.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Many people understand the Heart Sutra, but those are all translations from later times. You need to recite it in ancient Sanskrit to bring out the Innate Sound of the Heart Sutra," Lin Tian said, shaking his head like a highly achieved monk.

"Is that so?" Fox Concubine suddenly smiled and said mysteriously, "Then try this level of Charming Technique again. Today, I will make you my devoted follower under my skirt!"

After she spoke, her hands suddenly clasped together, intertwining her fingers and holding them in front of her body, while her mouth quietly murmured something. As the strange chanting started, a pair of furry fox ears unexpectedly grew on top of Fox Concubine’s head. This was a characteristic of the Fox Clan, ears and tail, and it was said they could also transform into their true fox form, whether or not Fox Concubine could validate that.

Now it was complete; the fox tail and fox ears were all present. Fox Concubine’s fuzzy tail and ears trembled slightly, followed by a faint pink aura emanating from her body.

As the pink aura appeared, the intoxicating fragrance around it changed, becoming lighter yet more lingering, penetrating the nose and reaching into the deepest recesses of the heart, plucking that deepest heartstring.

Fox Concubine’s eyes turned seductively as she locked her gaze on Lin Tian. The pink aura around her seemed to be under her control, coiling toward Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, be careful. This is the Fox Clan’s Desire Gas. Once a man is touched by it, he will fall into the realm of desire and be unable to extricate himself, becoming a slave to the Fox Demon forever," the Heavenly Master Girl cried out in alarm.

"Both of you, stay back," Lin Tian said, stopping the Heavenly Master Girl and Ning Luoxi with his hand, saying, "I’m going to meet this Fox Concubine and see how powerful she is!"

"Ignorant humans," the Ghost Princess seemed to see Lin Tian’s downfall and laughed coldly. This was what she enjoyed seeing; it was a good opportunity to deal with Lin Tian. Of course, it was still unclear who would deal with whom.

Zhen Nv also sneered, "Remember the past when that Yuzaoqian turned the Imperial Palace of Japan upside down. If not for being outnumbered, who knows what would have happened to Emperor Toba. And you, a mere human, still want to challenge the might of the Fox Clan, hmph!"

"Let the storm come more fiercely!" Lin Tian called out, spreading his arms, ready to embrace the approaching pink aura head-on.

Seeing Lin Tian’s cool act, the Heavenly Master Girl bit her teeth in frustration, "That’s right, act cool. Just don’t regret it when you make a fool of yourself."

Despite her words, she quietly readied a golden charm in her hand.

When Lin Tian’s hands touched the pink aura, it actually felt like touching a physical object, an incredibly peculiar sensation, like caressing silk.

Suddenly, the pink aura wound up his arms and entered through his mouth and nose.

"Lin Tian, do you find me beautiful?" Fox Concubine asked, her red lips parting to release a seductive voice.

Lin Tian unconsciously nodded his head, as it wasn’t just beautiful, it was so stunning it bubbled over, and any man would fall at her feet.

"I’m so cold, can you come over and hold me?" the Fox Concubine continued to tempt.

This would be a man’s unquestionable duty, and Lin Tian lifted his foot to walk over, but suddenly, a question popped into his mind.

That’s not right. Although the Fox Clan enjoys enchanting men, they value their chastity more than life compared to many humans. The Fox Clan uses their Charming Technique, but they don’t actually engage in substantive relations with men; it’s merely a technique for survival.

It was said that Yuzaoqian bewitched Emperor Toba with her Charming Technique, but even after her true identity as a Fox Demon was revealed, she remained a virgin, which shows that the Fox Clan’s use of the Charming Technique was purely for survival.

Lin Tian had learned this secretive knowledge through ancient texts. Now that the Fox Concubine was in the midst of a public place, it was even less likely that she would disrobe.

If there had been only the few women from the Heavenly Master Girl present, it might have been different, but in reality, there were also over a hundred men from Japan. The Fox Concubine referred to men as "filthy men," so how could she possibly strip in front of so many of them?

There was only one possibility, that everything I was seeing was an illusion! Lin Tian came to this conclusion in his mind.

However, even though he had realized that this was most likely an illusion, the scene before his eyes did not change back, which confused Lin Tian. His mind was clear, so why was he still within the illusion?

"Lin Tian, what are you standing there stupidly for? Hurry and come to me," the Fox Concubine called out again, looking pitifully vulnerable.

Lin Tian ignored the call of this "Fox Concubine," his mind racing as he thought of a way to counter this.

That’s right, the problem must be with those pink auras, Lin Tian thought of this possibility. He immediately withdrew his spirit inward, peering introspectively towards his lower abdomen with his penetrative gaze.

After acquiring the ability to see through things, this was the first time Lin Tian carefully inspected his Dantian. He didn’t know what the Dantian of others looked like; might it contain a Golden Core? Or be enveloped in darkness?

But what he saw in his own Dantian was like a void, not entirely dark, nor bright, it felt misty, and within that mist, streaks of pink auras were wriggling around.

Damn, so the pink aura had actually made its way here, the culprit identified, Lin Tian quickly understood and wondered how to expel them.

As if sensing Lin Tian’s thoughts, the pink auras actually burrowed deeper into the void of the Dantian. But no sooner had they delved a little further than suddenly, Lin Tian felt a wave of coldness surge from the deepest recesses of the void. Before the chill had even materialized, the pink auras turned and fled in fear.

Fear, no, it was more than that—it was utter terror. Lin Tian could actually feel these pink auras trembling with inexorable fear.

Unfortunately for the pink auras, they couldn’t flee in time; the chill swept over suddenly. It had no color, only an icy sensation, and in the wake of the coldness, the pink auras melted away instantly.

Such a dominant coldness, Lin Tian marveled, feeling a sense of familiarity at the same time because this chill had once rendered him immobile, on the brink of death, and even attracted the zombie girl, who called it Taiyin Xuan Qi!
