At this moment, Qianxun was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, pinching the excess fat on her face with some distaste.
As a fox spirit with extremely high standards for appearance, apart from that person, the thing she valued most was her face.
Fortunately, the bone structure of this body was decent. Once thinned down, she should look fairly attractive.
Just then, Qianxun noticed the pendant hanging from her neck.
Her eyes narrowed as she yanked the pendant out.
Seeing the pendant, Qianxun's teeth clacked together in hate.
Because this seemingly ordinary jade pendant was the Jade Glaze, the Taoist Magic Artifact that had sealed her for a thousand years!
The next moment, Qianxun violently tore off the jade pendant from her neck and hurled it forcefully at the ground.
But at that instant, from within the Jade Glaze came a surprised cry, "Ah, don't!"
"Who's speaking?" Qianxun said coldly.
A moment later, a timid child-like voice replied from the palm of her hand, "It's me..."
Upon hearing this, Qianxun turned her sharp gaze to the Jade Glaze, "Jade Glaze? How can you talk?"
A Magic Artifact speaking meant that it must have acquired Spiritual Wisdom!
"I have been nurtured by Taoist Skills for many years and have developed Spiritual Wisdom, which is why I can speak," Jade Glaze hurriedly explained.
In fact, it was very difficult for it to develop Spiritual Wisdom, but because it had been worn by its master for many years and was constantly influenced by Taoist Skills, it had the chance to do so.
But it was just last year that it had gained Spiritual Wisdom.
After gaining Wisdom, it realized that it had sealed a Nine-tailed Fox within itself.
It just never expected that the girl's blood could break the master's seal and release the Nine-tailed Fox.
Hearing Jade Glaze's words, Qianxun's expression turned even colder.
The fact that Jade Glaze had been nurtured by Taoist Skills implied that she'd been suppressed by that Bad Taoist – how could she not be furious?
For a moment, Qianxun again lifted her hand, ready to smash the Jade Glaze down.
Seeing this, Jade Glaze hastily said, "Don't! I'm useful! I've generated a new space inside, filled with Spiritual Energy!"
Upon hearing this, Qianxun's interest was piqued. After waking up, she had discovered that the era's Spiritual Energy was extremely scarce, almost unable to absorb any at all. If there was Spiritual Energy inside the Jade Glaze, it would solve her urgent need.
With this in mind, Qianxun changed her intentions, "Then acknowledge me as your master."
Although it was the Bad Taoist's item, it was still a treasure; it would be a real shame to throw it away.
Hearing Qianxun's words, Jade Glaze was conflicted for a while but then, spinelessly, agreed, "Okay."
Subsequently, Qianxun successfully performed a blood oath to make it hers, and indeed found a new space inside.
However, the Spiritual Energy within the space was not dense.
Seeing this, Qianxun furrowed her brows, "Is this all the Spiritual Energy?"
Hearing this, Jade Glaze's tone was somewhat pitiful as it said, "I can't help it. This Spiritual Energy has been converted from the Power of Faith. But since Huaxia's founding, they started to abolish feudal superstitions, and the number of people believing in Taoism has diminished, so the Faith Value I can collect naturally lessens."
Qianxun paused at these words.
In the past, she too had constructed a Dharma Body and gathered the Power of Faith from believers for cultivation. However, the Power of Faith is, after all, a gift from others, not truly one's own strength. Therefore, once the believers stopped their worship, the power gained would naturally be lost.
But if the Power of Faith was converted into Spiritual Energy, that would be different.
