Chapter 69 Learning Witchcraft
After they had learned the written language, Wu Yue taught them the methods of the Wu tribe.
Ji Rong, Ji Zhuang, and Gu Qingqing were flattered by this.
Wu Yue, however, said nonchalantly, "These classic texts are created to be used; they are useless if they are not spread."
——————
The "Witchcraft" that Wu Yue made Ji Rong practice was less of a cultivation method and more of a history of the origin of the Witch Clan.
Ji Rong found it extremely boring to follow Wu Yue in praising one powerful ancestral witch after another every day.
Ji Zhuangxiu practiced what was called the "Spirit Locking Technique," and after practicing it for a period of time, the effects were remarkable, enhancing his own spiritual consciousness.
The solitary and pure cultivation is called "Jufa". Wu Yue said that most of her body is not her own, but she still lives well. It can be seen that she is a good seedling who can cultivate all things and make them her own.
The so-called "binding the law" means conforming to the characteristics and forms of things, thereby binding them to one's own use. It is said that those who cultivate to a high level can see every blade of grass and every tree as an ear, and every beast and bird as an eye.
Ji Rong felt that their methods were significantly better than praising various great shamans.
In addition to witchcraft, Wu Yue also instructed his clansmen to practice physical strength.
Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang had studied the art of strength. The pursuit of strength by all races has existed since ancient times, so each race has its own tradition of strength, but this tradition is mostly for the purpose of strengthening itself.
The Wu tribe's tradition of strength not only values its own growth but also emphasizes using minimal force to achieve maximum effect.
In response, Wu Yue explained: "This is the law of the Wu clan in recent times, because Heaven no longer favors us, and the talents of our clan's children are getting worse with each generation."
It is said that after our ancestors moved out of Zhongzhou, our bloodline talents began to gradually become ordinary due to insufficient spiritual energy. At that time, a member of our clan proposed this idea.
Unfortunately, despite his extraordinary talent, he lacked aptitude and died soon afterward, but he had already tested this method while he was alive.
Wu Yue led the three cultivators to the square where they practiced strength, and pointed to the wooden mannequins on the square, saying, "These are the odd and even figures left behind by the Qi Dao people. You will practice here from now on."
As Ji Xiu looked around, he saw that there were wooden stakes of various colors in the square: witch, dragon, snake, tiger, bird, rabbit, deer, wolf... There were no less than a hundred different kinds of wooden stakes, and the corresponding acupoints were marked with dots.
Ji Rong couldn't help but admire the strange Taoist's unique way of thinking. She asked in bewilderment, "When I read to you, we were always praising the great shaman. Why doesn't this strange Taoist take the name of shaman and call himself Wu Qi?"
Wu Yue sighed and said, "Firstly, Qi Daosheng did not actually receive the title of Wu during his lifetime of cultivation."
Then there was the shaman's own demand; he asserted that there would be no gods or immortals in the future, and at the time, many in the tribe made fun of him.
But when he produced his first odd-even result, he silenced all the members of the witch clan, and afterwards everyone respectfully called him the Man of the Wonders.
"Did he leave behind any books or anything else?" Ji Rong felt her heart burning with emotion after hearing this.
Wu Yue said, “Yes, look at these odd and even figures. They were all made according to his method. There is also a stone over there that records the process of making odd and even figures. It was carved by the people of his tribe when he asked them to do so.”
Ji Rong Sanxiu went over to take a look and saw that it was written in the Celestial Race script: "Truth is Eternal".
Distant memories could no longer be fully awakened, and Ji Rong felt a sense of loss. This strange Taoist was probably not from the same place as her.
Wu Yue, leaning on his cane, looked at the words and said earnestly, "The Qi Dao people believe that magical power will eventually be lost, but truth will endure forever."
"Doesn't anyone think his words are too unrealistic?" Ji Rong asked.
"No, that's not true," Wu Yue said. "These odd and even numbers of the Qi Dao people allow us to train our bodies and prolong our lives in an environment devoid of spiritual energy."
He left these words before he died, simply hoping that his descendants would create more possibilities, just as he had.
Ji Rong understood.
Ji Zhuang felt immense admiration for the strange man from afar.
Gu Qingqing stroked the stone, lost in thought.
Then, Wu Yue summoned a burly member of the Wu clan and said, "This is Wu Guang, a disciple of my Wu clan. From now on, you will train under his guidance." Then, Wu Yue left, leaning on his cane.
Wu Guang trained his strength with two birds and a fox.
The Wu tribe's cultivation methods are very primitive and barbaric.
They used odd and even numbers to enhance their control over force.
Using waterfalls and rocks to strengthen flesh and blood,
He also urged his children to soak in the medicinal pool every day to strengthen their muscles and bones.
Ji Rongsan then practiced the Wu Clan's techniques day after day.
They went to Wuyue at dawn to study the Wu language.
After the sun rises above the treetops, the stones are lifted up by the cascading waterfall.
Then they go to the odd and even positions and get beaten up for half a day, and finally spend two hours in the medicinal bath.
At first, the three cultivators cried out in pain, but after half a year, they gradually stopped screaming.
A year later, the two birds and the fox all had developed strong, muscular bodies.
The most significant effect was seen in Ji Rong.
She was originally as fat as a ball of fluff standing on the ground, with eyes as small as beans, and her body covered in fat. She would even pant if she talked too much.
Now Ji Rong speaks with conviction, and with a casual flap of her wings, the sand and stones on the ground are swept up and fly everywhere.
After practicing for another four years, Ji Rong could recite the "witchcraft" backwards, but she still hadn't discovered any use for it.
Ji Zhuang has also made some progress in the "Spirit Locking Technique," and he is no longer mentally confused.
His cultivation level in the Mortal Demon Realm was originally raised by blood magic, and his body originally contained a lot of dregs;
However, after cultivating the power of the Witch Clan, he gradually expelled these impurities from his body, and his foundation became more stable.
Gu Qingqing has also mastered the "binding method," and now her meridians are as if they were her own.
Because of Ji Rong's existence, a rare and unusual phenomenon, a faint spiritual aura gradually appeared on the island of the Wu tribe.
With Ji Rong by her side and the spiritual food provided by Jiao Jue, Gu Qingqing successfully broke through to the next level and became a five-tailed spirit fox in the Profound Spirit Realm.
The tail that Gu Qingqing grew was grayish-white, making her original form look even more mottled, but Gu Qingqing didn't care.
Multiple tails represent multiple levels of cultivation. Whether the tails are beautiful or not doesn't matter; as long as the cultivation level increases, that's good.
Having stayed for so many years, Ji Rong developed a strong interest in the odd and even numbers of the Wu tribe.
These odd and even pieces are made of some kind of wood, and they are extremely hard. Without magic, they cannot be broken at all.
Moreover, if you hit it, it will hit you back, as if it has eyes and will always strike the weakest point of the cultivator.
Sometimes, Ji Zhuang and Gu Qingqing really didn't want to be beaten by Qi and E, so they would mix soil and mud to make pottery for the Wu tribe.
Seeing that this method had indeed increased Ji Zhuang's control over the claws, Wu Guang allowed them to occasionally slack off.
Ji Rong also had claws, but she didn't slack off. Day after day, she practiced the odd and even patterns and memorized the structure of different species.
Since there were not many other life forms on the island where the Wu tribe lived, Ji Rong often ambushed her brother to verify the authenticity of odd and even numbers.
She found it very useful and quite easy to use.
Now, Ji Rong is agile and can avoid most of the attacks from the odd and even.
What pleased her most was that her bulky figure finally became fit and toned through daily exercise.
Now, whenever Ji Rong passes by the water, she stops to admire herself, and at these times, her colorful feathers shimmer in the sunlight.
When she was particularly pleased with her performance, Ji Rong would often sing aloud, which would attract the nearby Wu tribespeople who were working to put down their work and come to listen to Ji Rong's beautiful recitation.
