Chapter 384 - 301: Witch God Stone, Refining the Small Witch Power Seal! (Double - )
This is a piece of witchcraft.
It is a technique from the past used by the Witch Race, quite different from the orthodox martial techniques he currently cultivates.
If one has to classify it, this witchcraft resembles more of a secret technique or exotic skill.
But Song Changming always feels that ordinary secret or exotic techniques cannot fully encompass this witchcraft.
Witchcraft should be a major cultivation system from the Ancient Era, perhaps not the most mainstream and orthodox, but it is sophisticated and powerful enough, with a clear cultivation direction and an extremely complete cultivation path!
Being able to understand the full scripture of witchcraft, Song Changming feels as if he has opened the door to a new world.
Don’t be fooled by the mere thirty thousand words; each ancient character seems to contain endless meanings, a vast amount of information.
This scripture cannot be translated or analyzed by conventional methods; it can only be understood with heart and spirit, and cannot be verbally transmitted.
"Devour heaven and earth, draw the energy of all things, and within the body, refine the Witch Seal..."
Song Changming continued to search, ponder, and constantly tried to summarize the meaning of the scripture’s content, feeling the coolness in his mind gradually dissipating, he took out a piece of Willow Heart Leaf and held it in his mouth.
This small piece of Willow Heart Leaf, although tiny, costs quite a few Low Grade Spirit Crystals to buy and is not cheap to consume.
With Song Changming’s financial means, he couldn’t buy too many.
Once his Spiritual Power recovered to a certain extent, Song Changming glanced at the moonlight in the sky.
It remained brightly suspended, like a large silver disc.
Tonight, there were no clouds to obscure it, and the sky was filled with dazzling stars.
The starlight and moonlight complemented each other.
"Let’s give it a try." Song Changming’s heart was stirred, deciding to try the witchcraft he had gained.
He sat cross-legged by the window, and also cross-legged beside him was the spiritual figure in his Nether Sea.
It’s worth noting that behind the spiritual figure, scripture lines suddenly lit up.
Each scriptural character was much larger than his spiritual figure, forming what seemed like a towering wall of text!
Song Changming immersed himself in it.
Gradually, he felt his Spiritual Power spreading outside his body, constantly extending, and connecting with Heaven and Earth.
He seemed to sense the rhythm of the world.
His mind’s will locked onto the full moon in the sky, enveloping the vast array of stars.
In the next moment, the silver brilliance poured down like a waterfall, passing through the window and falling upon his head.
Accompanying it were the specks of starlight, though not as radiant as the moonlight, they too were absorbed and accepted by Song Changming.
In the scripture, there is a core piece of Witch Refining Technique.
Similar to the Qi Refining in Innate Martial Technique, but the difference is that the Innate Martial Technique absorbs external energy and refines the innate qi within the body.
Whereas this Witch Refining Technique draws upon a more extensive source from Heaven and Earth, conducting the unique sacrificial refining of the Witch Race.
Refine oneself! Refine the Witch Seal!
At present, he was using this Witch Refining Technique to gather moonlight and starlight.
During this process, he felt a certain degree of nourishment to his flesh, his entire body tingling, and his bones, in particular, shimmered and changed remarkably.
Once his Spiritual Power approached depletion again, Song Changming finally stopped.
The wall of text behind the spiritual figure also vanished.
Song Changming felt the changes in his physical body, feeling a sense of joy.
"Such a powerful Witch Refining Technique!"
In just a few hours, the strength of his physical body had significantly improved.
Just in terms of strength, it might have increased by dozens or even hundreds of pounds!
This is precisely the Body Refining Technique he had dreamed of, much better than the Celestial Essence Secret Technique he had used before, and it eliminates the need to be limited by the refinement of Flesh Essence and the severe side effects unique to secret techniques.
This alone was enough to make Song Changming extremely happy.
However, body refining was just one aspect of this Witch Refining Technique.
It has another, more important function.
Refining the Witch Seal!
According to the information infused by the Stone Slab, the Witch Seal is the most critical element in the Witch Race’s cultivation system.
Over eighty percent of the scripture focuses on the various refining methods of Witch Seals.
Small Witch Seal, Witch Soldier Seal, Witch General Seal, Great Witch Seal, and so on...
It can be said that the emergence of these Witch Seals created the immensely powerful Witch Race of the past!
The power and effects of some Witch Seals thrilled Song Changming, making him excited beyond control.
"Isn’t this actually the power of gods?" Song Changming opened his eyes, murmuring to himself.
He opened his personal panel.
Sure enough, under the cultivation techniques section, new content appeared.
[Witch Scripture: Refining Small Witch Power Seal (1/100)]
Small Witch Power Seal.
This was the first Witch Seal chosen by Song Changming to refine.
As for its effect and power, he would have to wait until it was fully refined to see it with his own eyes.
"This Witch Refining Technique indeed consumes a lot of Spiritual Power..." Song Changming, feeling the little remaining Spiritual Power, simply lay down in his clothes and went to sleep.
The next noon, Song Changming finally walked out of his room and sought out his two brothers.
"Is it necessary to find that old gentleman?" Song Changping asked.
"No need." Song Changming shook his head, taking out a revised version of the Corpse Transformation Technique and handing it to them.
"I have already completed this technique, brother can directly refine it."
"Really?!" Song Changping was slightly startled, somewhat puzzled as to why Song Changming suddenly completed the technique overnight.
"It has to do with what I found in the Ancient Tomb." Song Changming briefly explained his discovery in the Stone Slab.
Upon obtaining that Witch Race scripture, he realized that the Corpse Transformation Technique on the Ancient Coffin seemed to be derived from the Witch Refining Technique in the scripture.
The true Witch Refining Technique is difficult to verbalize and teach.
And the Corpse Transformation Technique seems more like a small branch extracted from the Witch Refining Technique, developed along a different line.
In reality, it doesn’t have much connection with the Witch Refining Technique, and the undead corpse has nothing to do with the Witch Race.
The Witch Refining Technique can refine all things, while the Corpse Transformation Technique can only refine dead qi and Evil Yin Qi, ultimately forming the undead corpse body, pursuing the path of immortality!
He doesn’t know who created this Corpse Transformation Technique based on the Witch Refining Technique, or for what purpose.
But now, with mastery of the Witch Refining Technique, he can completely finish this last part of the Corpse Transformation Technique.
As for the Witch Refining Technique itself, his two brothers, being Corpse Puppet, could not practice it at all.
The Corpse Transformation Technique remains the only method for his brothers to defy destiny at present.
"I never thought such a fortuitous encounter could happen, it’s truly unexpected." Song Changping sighed after hearing what Song Changming said.
"This is one of the reasons why I want to survive, the world is so vast, if I were to die unexplored and unaccomplished, how could I be content!" Song Chang’an let out a strange, cackling laugh.
As a Corpse Puppet, he couldn’t even laugh normally.
Thus, the original plan was canceled.
They no longer needed to wander to decipher the issues of the Corpse Transformation Technique, and naturally did not have to go to that distant Miao Province.
Under Song Changming’s personal guidance, neither brother was dull, mastering the technique quite quickly.
Within just a few days, they had already become familiar with the Corpse Transformation Technique.
Then came the task of finding a place filled with death and yin energy to practice the technique and conduct preliminary corpse transformation.
The best place, naturally, is that underground Ancient Tomb.
However, returning there now might result in unexpected twists and turns.
Not wanting unnecessary trouble, they could only settle for second best.
At the border of Yun Province, a large mass graveyard.
This place, with thousands of grave mounds and scattered bones, is also shrouded in gusts of yin wind, filled with deathly stillness.
Bringing the brothers here to practice could be considered a suitable choice.
Afterward, Song Changming didn’t need to assist much; the two brothers sat at the location with the strongest yin energy, absorbing it into their bodies and refining it.
The process went smoothly, with only a few Little Demons disturbed by the commotion coming to investigate, all dealt with by a single slash from Song Changming.
That day.
[Witch Scripture: Refining Small Witch Power Seal (18/100)]
"This Witch Seal is harder to refine than expected..."
Song Changming sat on a piece of withered wood, looking at the progress bar of the Witch Seal refining on the panel.
The progress was slow, averaging about one point per day.
This was mainly because refining the Witch Seal indeed consumed a significant amount of his Spiritual Power.
It’s not that he didn’t want to refine more daily, it’s just that his Spiritual Power wasn’t enough.
