On Qingfeng Mountain lives an exorcist who has been around for who knows how many years. They say he catches demons by eating their inner cores to strengthen his cultivation.
That's why there isn't a single demon with any cultivation within hundreds of li of Qingfeng Mountain.
Tu Shan Ci, the next leader of the Tu Shan clan, is a fiery red spirit fox who has never managed to cultivate a ninth tail. The road to nine tails is long indeed.
At last, he made it to the tribulation for his ninth tail, only for the Heavenly Dao to reduce him to his original form. Now he could never take human shape again.
When the various factions learned what had happened, they began to stir. Hounded like a stray dog, Tu Shan Ci was forced to flee to Qingfeng Mountain.
There, he came face-to-face with Su Nanshu, who was holding up a lotus made from Buddha bone, ready to capture a demon.
Su Nanshu grimly extracted the inner core of a chicken demon.
Tu Shan Ci watched as the strutting rooster, which had just been eager to swallow the exorcist whole, shrank into a shivering little chick.
I-I can't take him on.
Tu Shan Ci silently started crawling back the way he'd come. He wanted to leave the mountain. He'd rather be killed by the Tu Shan traitors than live under this freak!
"Little fox?" Before he'd even decided which way to go, someone grabbed him by the scruff.
"So much spiritual energy, and your inner core is intact. How come you still can't take human form?"
"Tsk, a bit of a wreck, aren't you?" This demon pinched the fox's fiery red paw and examined it closely. "Failed your tribulation? Tsk, even more useless."
Su Nanshu held a fox in one hand and a chicken in the other. "I happen to need a new muffler. How about fox-and-chicken stew today?"
Swallowing his humiliation, Tu Shan Ci managed to stick it out by the exorcist's side. Every day, he gritted his teeth over the fact that he wasn't poisonous and had no poison gland to kill the exorcist with.
Until Su Nanshu brought home another white-furred wild fox.
Tu Shan Ci flew into a rage. How could you! Su Nanshu, blind in both eyes and heart! White foxes are a dime a dozen. Is its fur really prettier than mine?!
