Wangquan summons his Wangquan Sword to hit Du Niangzi's hat, thereby freeing a spider, and then removing the curse on that spider. In present, Wang Fugui similarly summons the Wangquan blade and is about to counterattack Du Niangzi. But she seems to embrace this and is almost hit before an eight eyed man (Du Fuzi) jumps in to stop the fight. He reveals himself as Du Niangzi's alive husband.

Du Fuzi then explains what really happened before: he and Du Niangzi fell in love and were going to build a house. However, a Daoist from the Wang clan suddenly attacked Du Fuzi, but Du Niangzi took the blow for him, falling unconscious. Du Fuzi asks the Daoist to spare her, in exchange for turning into a spider trapped in her Golden Silk Crest hat. Du Niangzi then woke up, not knowing where her husband went, and thought the Wang clan killed him. So she swore revenge and hunted down Wangquan Fugui.

But when Wangquan freed the spider from her hat, Du Niangzi found that the spider was her supposedly dead husband Du Fuzi. They then worship Wangquan as their savior and benefactor. However, as Dongfang Yuechu explains overlooking the events on a cliff, uses the Wangquan Spirit Blade consumes Wangquan's life energy, thereby shortening his life every time he summons it.

Meanwhile in present, the couple Du Niangzi and Du Fuzi reveal that it was their plan all along to recreate and relive that euphoric scene from the past so that Wang could reveal his awesome Wangquan Spirit Blade. They thank Wang once again and heal his wife Qingtong's poison, saying she will recover her adult self in three days.

Suddenly, a mysterious golden spirit appears and says Wang Fugui has remembered too much too soon artificially. The gold spirit then takes away some of Wang's memories he said he shouldn't have. The gold spirit leaves, but otherwise Wang is fine after waking up.
Spirit Power

Spirit power or Yaoli (妖力) measures the amount of power a Yaoguai or Daoist has.

It can be cultivated through meditation, practice and exercise.  It is equivalent to the idea of Qi and the practice of Qigong (气功 or cultivating and controlling Qi).

## Humans and Yaoguai

Humans have very weak inherent spirit power and to make up for their lack of strength have developed Daoist weapons capable of harming spirits.  A strong spirit power enables one to do mighty superhuman feats and survive otherwise deadly attacks.

Having mere brute strength though is not enough, one must also master techniques to apply the raw power in an effective manner to attacks or other purposes. There are three "pillars" or principles that determine how strong someone's Spirit Power is. The intensity of the power's flow ("Body"), the patterns of its use ("Art") and the control exercised ("Will").

Cultivating one's Body leads to a greater raw amount of spirit power available, while cultivating one's technique with Art leads to a greater amount of control over a technique, while Will primarily helps one apply and use magical weapons or tools.  Spirits are typically stronger in Body and Art, while Daoist's are typically stronger in Art and Will.  There are many different types of Spirit Arts, but mastering even a single one can take years of effort.

A formula can be used to determine one's overall Spirit Power (also called "Abhijna"  神通, literally "power through god" or godly power) when not considering weapons or tools:

***Total Power** = (Body x Proficiency of Spirit Power) x Proficiency in Art.*
## Notable Users

Pledge of Love

**Pledge of Love** or **Heart Oath** (转世续缘 起誓 *zhuanshi xuyuan qishi*, literally 'resurrection oath') allows a human and yaoguai to love each other for eternity by allowing the human to reincarnate and find their lover again. The lovers make the pledge under the Kuqing Tree in Tushan using a special item called a fabao.

## How it works

It is explained in detail by Tushan Rongrong in Episode 3 of the donghua:

When a human and yaoguai love each other they can go before the great Tree of Bitter Love in the center of Tushan and make a Pledge of Love. Because human lives are so short, a union between a Spirit and human would be especially short lived and result in much sorrow for the Spirit at the human's death.

To help solve this problem, the Tushan Matchmakers developed a method of reincarnation to allow this love to persist beyond the grave.  By pledging memories and Spirit Power, the Spirit can bring their plight before the Tree of Bitter Love and with the words of a prayer ask the Tree to allow them to join their union in the human's next reincarnation.

Their spirit power is then taken and placed into a vessel which is traditionally of significance between the two, it is then split in two and the Spirit retains one half while the human will be reincarnated with the other half after they die.  The more spirit power the Spirit chooses to give up in exchange for completing the Pledge the more likely it is for the Pledge to work and their union be reunited.  This method is the only reliable known way of allowing a human to reincarnate and regain their memories of their previous life.

If their wish is granted, their vessel or pledge token (法宝 *fabao*) will be split into two pieces and the yaoguai's spirit power pledged will be stored in the halves.

## The Pledge

The words of the Pledge are:

> **"I [Spirit's name], am willing to pledge [an amount] percent of my spirit power.  Please let us meet in the next life."**
>
>

>  **我【名】愿意使用【数】成妖力，起誓让我们来生相见。**
>
>

The human may then respond if they are willing as well.

## Exceptions

Despite making such a vow, it cannot guarantee that the two will be reunited in the humans next life.  They must still work toward that love mutually in the human's next life and the Pledge of Love merely provides them a chance that it will be possible.  To help make this happen Tushan Matchmakers offer their services in helping yaoguai and human couples be reunited and recover their memories and fall in love again.  Many spirits wait in Tushan, enjoying the resort, while they wait for their human companion to be reincarnated.

Also, if the yaoguai dies, the heart pledge also ends.

## Example couples

* Fan Yunfei and Ice General make a pledge of love using the Water Bead Jewel as their fabao.
* Wang Fugui and Qing Tong make a pledge
* Dongfang Yuechu and Tushan Honghong use Yuechu's Void Tear as fabao
* Shi Kuan and Yuyao Princess
* Yan Ruyu and Miss Wen use Yan's Serene Amber Horn as fabao
* Luolan and Pingqiu Yuechu use two Violet Gold Love Bells as fabao
Xu Yi

Yiqidao League

The **Yiqidao League** (一气道盟 **Yiqi Daomeng**) is a group of Human Daoists that features prominently in the series. They are allied with Tushan, and their common enemy is the Shadow Fox Empress and her Shadow Spirits.

## History

More than a thousand years ago before the story's current time, all the people who followed Daoist sects teachings established an unprecedented alliance: the Yi Qi Dao League. The human king's lineage also makes up its ranks. The League was initially formed out of a need for self-defense against the powerful Spirits that roamed the land which humans were incapable of contending with. They developed new methods of spirit power cultivation and magical artifices capable of harming Spirits, and giving mankind a fighting chance.

However, despite their success, the humans who made up the league were often more brutal and cruel than the Spirits they opposed.  They often operated slave trade and killed Spirits mercilessly.  The league was an enemy of the Tushan Foxes for many years and sent many crusades against them in an attempt to subject the powerful Spirit city state.  They were especially opposed to the Tushan due to their Matchmaking services which many Daoists believed to be reprehensive.  Many also believed the Tushan Foxes were blood thirsty savages who would swallow humans whole.  The Wangquan family has served as the ally and servant of the Yi Qi Dao league for many decades.  While other Daoist sects did exist, they were by far the most powerful and notable. Dongfang Yuechu is famous as one of its legendary leaders as is Wangquan Fugui.

In modern times, the League is now part of an alliance with the Spirit Union and forms a powerful wealthy governing body of Daoists who seek to promote order and peace in the world alongside their Spirt allies.  Spirits are also welcome to join the League.  The peace and harmony that now exists between the once former enemies is only possible due to Dongfang and Honghong's sacrifice and leadership.  Much to Bai Yuechu's regret, the League has an arrangement with Tushan to ensure he marries Tushan Susu, which has kept him poor, unable to associate with other women, and constantly repressed.

## Members

See Category:Yiqidao League

* Wangquan Fugui
* Wang Fugui

## Etymology

Translated literally Yiqi Daomeng 一气道盟 means the 'One Qi Dao League' or 'One Energy Way League'.

It is sometimes spelled Yichitao, Ichitao, etc.

Yi means one, Qi as in 'chi' or energy, Dao as in Daoism, Meng as in league or alliance.

One interpretation is 'supernatural being life energy way league'. Namely, it is a league of Daoists who use qi, practice martial artists, and work alongside Yaoguai.
Wang Fugui Yeye

**Wang Fugui Yeye** (王富贵爷爷) is Wang Fugui's paternal grandfather.

## Appearance

He first appears in Episode 15 helping Qingtong recover her human form and yaoguai powers. He wears a white mask with yellow eyes.

The mask is a reference to the Masked Daoists. Indeed, in Episode 101, he says that he wishes to lift the mask of the world, the slogan of the Masked Daoists.

## Personality

Qingtong describes him as a 'hentai' (变态) or perv. This is shown by how he comments on her body, wants to apply lotion to heal her chest, and invites her over at night to visit him.

Qingtong still thanks him for helping her recover her spirit powers and giving her advice on finding the Tianshu to find her eternal love Wang Fugui (who is actually the old man's grandson).

## Game

In the Fox Spirit Matchmaker Mobile Game, his name is Wang Wanli (王万里). However, in the official canon, donghua and manhua, it is currently unknown what his name is.

Pure Yang Flame

Dongfang Yuechu teaching Honghong the Chunzhi Yangyan

**Pure Yang Flame** (纯质阳炎 *Chunzhi Yangyan*) is a powerful flame move used throughout the series. The user summons a powerful fire vortex that is much harder to put out than ordinary fires. It is also known as the ultimate **Demon Extinguishing Holy Fire** (灭妖神火 *Mieyao Shenhuo*) or simply demon killing flame.

It is one of Bai Yuechu's special moves, special to the Dongfang Clan. Dongfang Yuechu helps teach it to Tushan Honghong and Yaya.

It can be extinguished by Deep Yin Water.

## Donghua

* He uses it to defeat the Ehuishou and escape the hospital.
* Yaya can also use it, like when she forces Susu and Bai to kiss, though she prefers not to.
* Gold Fire God uses it as he stole the power from the Dongfang Clan. However, after Tushan defeats him, and Cuiyu Ling uses a blood transfusion to remove the Dongfang blood from him, he loses the power.
* Bai uses it to melt Shi Kuan. He then uses it to sear off Shi Kuan's right arm. The Guardian Foxes then take pictures of the awesome Chunzhi Yangyan, spreading it like wildfire on Weibo.
* Dongfang Qinlan, Dongfang Huaizhu are naturally able to use it.

Tushan Susu/Relationships

## Family

### Tushan Honghong

Tushan Honghong is sort of like Susu's past self, and Susu is sort of like Honghong's reincarnation. However, Susu is still technically Honghong as Honghong never truly died, but rather was stripped of all her memories and strength when she used them to fulfill the Pledge of Love.

She thus transformed into Susu having been left with no powers, strength or memories resulting in a "new" Fox Spirit known as Susu. When she partakes of Dongfang blood and her emotions are triggered, she seems to be able to regain some of her former glory as Honghong, though to what extent is somewhat unclear. It seems that this process also may depend on borrowing power from the Third Master of Aolai or Bai Yuechu to become manifest as Honghong.

### Bai Yuechu

Her fiancé and Matchmaker partner. While initially she merely paid Bai Yuechu in candy to help protect her and work for her, she quickly developed feelings for Bai Yuechu and became good friends with him. This is slowly blossoming into love as the two work together to reunite other couples and overcome challenges. Her relationship has increased quite a bit ever since traveling to Nanguo to rescue Bai Yuechu.

### Tushan Yaya

While Yaya is her "older" sister, she is somewhat estranged from Yaya, due to Yaya's impatience with her. Yaya frequently treats Susu as worthless and a burden, at least until she realized Susu really was Honghong. That said, Susu still desperately wants to please and make Yaya proud of her and that is one of her main motivations for want to prove herself as Tushan's greatest Matchmaker.

### Tushan Rongrong

Rongrong treats Susu much more kindly and with understanding than Yaya does, but also still manipulates and uses Susu for Tushan's plan to reunite and restore Dongfang and Honghong. That said, she has a much better understanding than Yaya of how to best make that happen and let's Bai Yuechu and Susu move things along at their own pace, knowing that you can't force love.

Shadow Fox

The Shadow Fox Spirits (黑狐妖 *Heihu Yao*) are the primary group of antagonists of the series. They have mysterious origins and are led by their Empress, the Shadow Fox Empress.

They steal spirit power form other spirits, preying like parasites on hapless couples and opposing the matchmaking efforts of the Tushan Fox Spirits. Their motto is "Do what you love to do" (with the implication of ignoring laws or morals if necessary to pursue those desires).

## Characters

* Lady Heihu
* Zuoshi
Son Mother Seal

Zimu fu (子母符) or Son-Mother seal is a cursed seal (符咒) that enslaves yaoguai, forcing them to do whatever their master tells them to.

## The Curse

The yaoguai is forced to consume the Zi fu (Child Charm). The master could then burn the Mu fu (Mother charm), which connected to the Zi fu, drains their Spirit Power and brings immense pain to the yaoguai, forcing it to do their bidding. Also, the yaoguai are forced to consume the Zi fu each year or else they will suffer great pain.

## Third Master of Aolai

There appears to be a significant connection between Venom Boy and the Third Master of Aolai, as he often disguises himself as Venom Boy. Why there is a connection or if the two are actually the same person all the time, is unknown. It could merely be coincidence that San Shaoye often disguises himself as Venom Boy, or it could be merely a fake identity and Venom Boy is not at all a real person.

Spirit Arts

Spirit arts (神通) are techniques or skills that use Spirit Power.  One of the three pillars of or principles of the Yi Qi Dao League. "Art" refers to the various techniques or skills used by practitioners. There are many different types of arts, and it appears some characters have even invented or created their own new unique styles or techniques.

These arts typically require Spirit Power to use, but some rarer techniques might use other power sources, such as the user's own lifespan.  It often takes many years to master these techniques. Note these are sometimes considered a separate idea from the use of Magic Weapons or Tools (which require "Will" to control and use).

## Names

* 神通 Shentong (Chinese)
* अभिज्ञा Abhijna (Sanskrit)

## Formula

In Episode 112, Wang Fugui explains the Spirit Power formula:

* Effective Spirit Power = "Body" x Proficiency of Spirit Power
* Abhijna Level = Effective Spirit Power x Proficiency in "Art"

Simplified:

* Total Power = (Body x Proficiency of Spirit Power) x Proficiency in Art

## Yaoguai Techniques

Demon Expelling Technique - Created by Tushan Honghong for expelling unwanted parasites from their hosts (such as Disaster Beasts).  It appears to be a very simplistic, but powerful melee fighting style that incorporates the use of punching.

True Fox Reading Technique - A common technique used by Fox Spirits mostly used to mess with people, but true master's are able to telepathically control or even levitate their victim's body like a puppet.

## Human Techniques

Wangquan Spirit Blade - Created by Wangquan Fugui, unique as it burns the user's own life span away rather than using Spirit Power.

## Notable masters

Tushan Honghong - Master of the Repelling Claw (Invincible Claws)

Tushan Yaya - Master of Ice Magic

Tushan Rongrong - Master of Fox Reading Technique

Wangquan Spirit Blade

The Wangquan Blade Spirit (王权剑魂), Wangquan Will Blade (王权剑意), or Wangquan Golden Life Blade is a sword created from pure life energy.

Even without the physical Wangquan Blade, Wang is still able to summon the spirit blade using his inert energy (as he does against the Venom Widow). However, using the Wangquan Blade Spirit consumes the user's life energy, so every time Wang uses it, his life is shortened.

The oldest sister of Tushan Rongrong and the ruler of Tushan, until her death or disappearance. Rongrong, Yaya and Honghong, were all once sisters, close to each other. Rongrong, loved and respected her older sister, in her own way, whilst she was alive. Honghong trusted Rongrong to handle the daily operations of Tushan during her reign.

### **Tushan Yaya**

The second oldest sister of RongRong. Tushan Yaya became the ruler of Tushan, after the death or disappearance of Tushan Honghong. She is the only living Tushan Fox Spirit, above RongRong, in power. The sisters are very close to each other. RongRong loves Yaya, and would do almost anything for her.

### **Tushan Susu**

Rongrong's younger sister, born after Honghong's departure. She accepted that Susu and Honghong were the same person but stripped of her power and memories and thus treats Susu with respect. She was even willing to challenge Yaya's authority as Head of Tushan to prove it. She loves and cares for Susu and believes in her, even though she is weak and unintelligent. She often manipulates Susu (for Susu's own good), in order to help Susu and Bai Yuechu's relationship progress.

She is often concerned about Susu's safety much more so than Yaya who didn't believe Susu and Honghong were the same until evidence was presented.

### **Tushan Meimei** **/ Zuoshi**

One of the younger fox spirits who fell in love with Tushan Yaya and worked hard to obtain human form. He eventually left and betrayed Tushan and began working for the Shadow Foxes in an attempt to force Tushan Yaya to acknowledge him.

## Yuechu

### **Bai Yuechu**

Tushan Rongrong treats Bai Yuechu indifferently, she makes sure to not let him get away without eventually paying his heavy debts, using it to motivate him to comply with their wishes and get closer to Susu. Overtime, they have formed a healthy superior-subordinate relationship through the use of bribing Bai Yuechu with money and treats. She like Yaya, is concerned with helping Yuechu become Dongfang Yuechu, but appears to ship Susu and Yuechu more than her sister does and has a lot more faith in them.

### **Dongfang Yuechu**

   Rongrong has a more cordial relationship with Dongfang than Yaya does, having been the first to work to help him stay in Tushan by providing him with the servant of servants job. However, she is still strict on him regarding his debts and the rules of Tushan. She also seems to have been a fan of Dongfang and Honghong's relationship, giving Dongfang hints and help to try and woo her sister.
