[You have discovered the ’Trace-Origined Nine-Tailed Fox’!]

[The woman in front of you is very excited and asks incredulously, "Are you a ’Dragon God Descendant’?] 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

[You switch back to the body of the ’Inquisitive Primordial Hermit’ and confirm your identity to the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’.]

[The woman sees your dragon-headed human form, senses the strong Dragon Clan bloodline in you, and can’t contain her excitement. She kneels on the ground sobbing inconsolably.]

[She tells you that the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ clan suffered severe casualties after the divine war, and the clan has dwindled until only she and her sister remain.]

[More than a decade ago, her older sister infiltrated the Imperial Palace in an attempt to assassinate the general, but she was killed when her assassination attempt failed, leaving her as the last of the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ clan.]

[She wanted revenge for her sister’s death, but knowing that even her powerful older sister was not a match for the general, she feared that going to the Capital recklessly would lead to the extinction of the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ clan at Sakura fall.]

[With no choice, she had to hide near ’Nasuyama’, guarding her sister’s grave and driving herself to train diligently, hoping to master her skills one day to revenge her sister’s death.]

[Ten years pass in a flash, and her strength has been slowly improving, but it is still not as strong as her sister was. Filled with self-resentment, she fears that she will never be able to defeat the general in this lifetime...]

[Fortunately, she has met Mr. ’Dragon Descendant’ today...]

[You tell the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ that you are on a mission from your Father God to rally the surviving powerful yokai to kill the general and restore the prestige of the Dragon God! You now need the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ to assist you in fighting the general.]

[The ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ weeps tears of joy and prostrates herself before you...]

[You step forward to help the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ up and ask if she’d like to become your Shikigami?]

[The woman frowns slightly, a forlorn expression on her face.]

[You assumed that the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ is worried about losing her divinity and promised that you would preserve it.]

[The ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ shakes her head, continuing to say that, as a descendant of the Dragon God, even if you were to take her divinity, she would not resist.]

[What makes it difficult for her is not that, but the ’Suppressing Object’ that is required to subdue a shikigami.]

[From ancient to present times, there are not many who have defeated the three powerful yokai in Sakura fall, but even if they do, few are able to subdue them as shikigami.]

[The reason is that the level of the ’Suppressing Object’ isn’t high enough to match the strength of the three powerful yokai...]

[After the Nine-Tailed Fox explained, you gradually understood the origin of the ’Suppressing Object’...]

[The top-notch suppressing objects are often transformed from the divine consciousness and the dead bodies of the three powerful yokai, like the ’Stone of Killing’, a suppressing object transformed from a dead ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ yokai.]

[And numerous ’Suppressing Objects’ transformed from the yokai’s corpse are hard to match the grade of the yokai itself. Unless you can obtain a ’Suppressing Object’ higher than the ’Brilliant Killing Stone’ (legendary grade), you cannot subdue the three powerful yokai.]

[Seeing the disappointment on your face, the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ tries to console you. The ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ clan is one of the most powerful yokai in Sakura fall, but that’s not the case outside of it.]

[According to the records passed down from their ancestors, there are more powerful yokai such as ’Phoenix’, ’Kirin’, and ’Black Tortoise’.]

[If you can acquire the ’Suppressing Object’ left behind by those yokai after their death, or obtain a man-made ’Suppressing Object’ from the immortals in Chuzhi, it is also feasible to subdue her...]

Lin Xun was left speechless.

It turned out that the legendary yokai could not be subdued in this Chapter.

After all the effort, it came to nothing.

[The ’Source-Origined Nine-Tailed Fox’ has nine fluffy huge tails behind her, and she plucks some fur from one of them and gives it to you.]

[You have obtained the ’Fur of a Nine-Tailed Fox’ (prop)]

[’Fur of a Nine-Tailed Fox’ (prop): a handful of soft white fox fur, plucked from the powerful yokai ’Nine-Tailed Fox’. Using this prop, you can summon the powerful yokai, ’Source-Origined Nine-Tailed Fox’ to fight for you.]

[She bows to you once more and slowly says that when you confront the general, you can summon her to help you.]

[She will risk her life to assist you in killing the general!]

[You carefully accepted the ’fox fur’ and waved goodbye to the ’Nine-Tailed Fox’.]

[The figure of the woman transforms into a streak of light that heads towards the top of ’Nasuyama’ and then disappears...]

"A one-time summoning tool."

Lin Xun looked at the fox fur summoning tool in his inventory.

The ’Nine-tailed Fox’ said that the quality of the Stone of Killing was not enough to subdue the three most powerful yokai as shikigami.

The highest grade ’Brilliant Killing Stone’ in his pocket was of legendary grade, implying that the three powerful yokai are at least of Legend+ level.

"If there are no master balls, how to catch a divine beast, urgently waiting online..."

He pulled himself together, followed the instructions given by the netherworld game, and went to the ’Fugang Market’ to find the warehouse merchant.

After a long time, he finally arrived at ’Fish Selling Market’.

After another round in the ’Fish Selling Market’, Lin Xun found that the special fishmonger selling exotic seafood had disappeared, presumably gone out to sea to catch fish.

[You step into a dark and secluded alley after bypassing the shabby stalls.]

[At the end of the alley is a rundown shop, and hanging above it is an old sign that reads ’Dark Market Warehouse’.]
