Volume 2: Wu Enters Witchcraft Chapter 61: Qing Xiu's Ninth Strike

  Ye Xuyuan's primordial spirit transformed into a dragon, with only one dragon claw and half of a triangular dragon head.

  He thought for a moment, and the turtle dragon's skull immediately struggled hard, as if trying to desperately pull out its own body and tail from his dantian!

  "Seventh Master, don't waste your energy anymore, your cultivation is still insufficient to fully transform the Jiaolong."

  Ye Fan stopped him, and then doubted: "With your rare talent, in theory, within a month's time, you should be able to cultivate to the mid-term of Pei Yuan First Rank, enough to transform the Jiaolong into a complete head, and master the Qing Jiao Nine Strikes' first move! How come your yuanqi looks so weak?"

  Ye Xue stopped his imagination and only saw the dragon's claws and head suddenly drilling into his abdomen, disappearing without a trace. He said, "This may be related to my cultivation method. Not long ago, I exchanged for a set of witchcraft in the Witch's Library, called Jiuzhuan Yuangong. After cultivating this mind method, the speed at which my yuan energy increases is really too slow. I have been bitterly practicing for nearly a month and only accumulated so little yuan energy."

  "Nine Turns of Primordial Energy?"

  Ye Fan stood there like a wooden chicken, and after a while, his white eyebrows slightly trembled as he spat out a mouthful of turbid air: "You actually managed to cultivate this technique and still cultivate yuanqi? Freak, freak!"

  "Senior, what's wrong with this technique?" Ye Xuan's heart was racing as he had already discovered the flaws in the Nine Turns Primordial Merit. Now, hearing that Ye Fan seemed to know a lot about this technique, his curiosity was piqued.

  Ye Fan sank into deep thought for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to say, "Seventh Master, the Nine Turns Primordial Merit walks the path of entering witchcraft through martial arts, focusing on the physical body while neglecting witchcraft. Cultivating this witchcraft method will not only fail to produce primordial energy but also devour one's own primordial energy cultivation! In the past, even your Ye family's founding ancestor who cultivated this witchcraft method didn't have a single shred of increase in their cultivation, and instead had much of their primordial energy devoured, causing their realm to plummet!"

  Ye Xuan nodded in agreement, if he hadn't also cultivated the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Lian Qi technique at the same time, he feared that by now his dantian would have no spiritual energy left, and he wouldn't be able to cultivate the Qing Xiao Jiu Ji.

  Ye Fan continued: "At the beginning, if he hadn't stopped cultivating abruptly, even if he was cultivating the ancient Zhuo Jia's Great Power Divine Ability, his primordial energy would have increased rapidly. I'm afraid all of his cultivation would have been washed away, turning him into a Yuan Yuan first-grade wizard! Your cultivation not only wasn't washed away, but you actually cultivated some primordial energy. This situation can only be described as a miracle!"

  Ye Xuan found that the old man's gaze towards him had suddenly become extremely strange.

  "Just listen to Ye Yun whispering: 'I really want to cut this kid into pieces and study him, see what secrets he has. Unfortunately, I'm not a match for that bastard Ye Si Dao...'"

  Ye Xu couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, knowing that this old man was absolutely not joking. If Ye Si Dao hadn't restrained him, Ye Fan would have definitely done something crazy like cutting himself into pieces to study!

  "My cultivation is insufficient, I am unable to thoroughly transform into a dragon, must I wait until my cultivation reaches the required level before I can practice the Qing Xiao Nine Strikes?"

  Ye Xuan fell into deep thought. The progress of the Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Tao was so slow that if he wanted to completely transform the Jiaolong, he might have to wait for thirty or fifty years.

  "Can't we shrink the dragon's body size? With a smaller body size, the amount of yuanqi required will also decrease accordingly."

  He thought of it and did it, immediately starting his experiment.

  Ye Fan saw him meditating again and wondered in his heart: "This kid's cultivation is insufficient, could he still have a way to instantly boost his cultivation?"

  After a moment, he finally understood why Ye Xu did so, and couldn't help but applaud in admiration, praising him endlessly.

  Only Ye Xuan's dantian area was seen, and another dragon claw drilled out, a Jiaolong's head, and even the Jiaolong's narrow and hideous body also emerged from his abdomen one after another!

  However, this time he used Yuanqi to transform into a Jiaolong, which was smaller than before by countless times!

  The primordial energy transformed into a dragon writhing and roaring, inch by inch being pulled out from his abdomen!

  After a moment, the dragon finally pulled out more than half of its body, only its tail was still in his abdomen, and it had not fully transformed!

  The dragon lowered its head and raised it again, letting out a loud roar as if bursting out from the depths of the abyss. With a fierce momentum, it twisted its body and shot up into the sky, suddenly pulling its tail out completely!

  The complete Jiaolong, finally thoroughly transformed!

  This dragon is not very large, over a foot in length, its body as white as snow. It encircles Ye Xun's body, dancing and leaping about, spinning around several times. Suddenly, it wraps its tail around Ye Xun's left ear, places its two front claws on his shoulders, raises its triangular head, opens its dorsal fin, and gazes fiercely at Ye Yun!

  Those eyes, looking down on everything with a condescending gaze, gave him an immense sense of oppression!

  This thorough transformation of Jiaolong is worlds apart from the eagle snake created by Ye Fusheng and others using yuanqi.

  Their eaglesnake, pursuing greatness, pursuing completeness, thus resulting in the consequence of being hollow and not strong at all, having only form but no substance.

  The leaf Xuanyuan's Qi-refined dragon, although small and delicate, has all five internal organs complete, ferocious and sinister, pushing this witchcraft to the point where even Ye Lin, who has been immersed in this path for decades, is far inferior!

  "Seventh Master, you're more resourceful than Ma Sanbao's wooden stick! Who would have thought of a plan like this?"

  Ye Yunfan couldn't help but praise, saying: "Ma Sanbao's innate talent is indeed excellent, but his behavior and handling of matters are really too rigid. He only knows how to follow the rules and doesn't dare question the cultivation process of his predecessors. That's why he has only reached the level of 'Pai Wei Shi' (a basic stance). But you, on the other hand, are much more flexible and know how to adapt. However, this little dragon is so small, just how powerful can it be?"

  Ye Xue also had deep doubts about this, the witchcraft pursued fierce and overbearing, but the dragon he transformed into was really too small, how much power it would have he didn't know.

  Moreover, the color of the dragon is also somewhat off, no longer being a green jiao but a white jiao!

  "Dragon Claw Exploratory Strike!"

  Ye Xuheng's mind stirred, a white dragon burst forth and shot up into the sky, its claws extended as it swiped through the air with a series of explosive cracking sounds, shattering one of the copper pillars supporting the roof of the Witchcraft Hall in two!

  That copper pillar was as thick as a water bucket, broken into two sections, falling from mid-air and smashing down towards Ye Xu's forehead.

  "Pearl Snatching Style!"

  Ye Xiuqing let out a loud shout, and the White Python thrust out its two dragon claws. The two copper pillars instantly shattered into four or five pieces, with copper fragments flying everywhere!

  "Ex nihilo!"

  The white python's small body suddenly sank, from bottom to top, and shot up into the sky. All the broken copper was rolled up, crushed into powder, and with a loud crash broke through the roof of the Wu Xiu Hall, flying off to who-knows-where!

  Ye Xu still intended to use the remaining moves of Qing Xiao Jiu Ji, but seeing the situation, he hastily stopped in his tracks. If he continued, he feared that the entire Wu Xiu Hall would be razed to the ground.

  The dragon coiled around him once and then drilled into his dantian, disappearing from sight.

  He looked up and saw that a large hole had been torn open in the roof, about two meters in diameter. Starlight was shining down through it, and he realized that it had already become deep night without him noticing.

  "Senior, how is the power of my Nine Strikes of the Azure Dragon?"

  Ye Yun's eye muscles twitched, and he said indifferently: "It's just so-so, compared to my Qing Xiao Jiu Ji, it's not worth mentioning! The sky is already late, you go back first, and continue tomorrow."

  Ye Xu bid farewell and left, Ye Xuan's face suddenly became extremely strange, staring at the broken end of the copper pillar on the roof: "This kid practiced witchcraft for the first time, and actually tore the Chi Yuan Jing Tong to pieces... Monster, what a monster..."

  The importance of the Witch's Sanctum to the Ye family even surpasses that of the Witch's Library, so when the ancestors of the Ye family first built the Witch's Sanctum, they used mostly materials refined from witch treasures, making it extremely solid and difficult to destroy.

  Ye Xu's shattered copper pillar was made from the smelting of Chi Yuan refined copper, which is a treasure of the same grade as Han Tie. Its quality is even better than Han Tie, extremely hard, otherwise it wouldn't be used as the main beam of the Witch Refining Hall.

  This copper pillar was like tofu, easily torn to pieces, showing the power of Ye Xiang's Nine Strikes of the Green Dragon, and the dragon's body did not shrink but instead grew even larger!

  "Seventh brother, the reason I don't praise you is actually because I'm afraid you'll become arrogant and self-satisfied. Young people like you who are arrogant and self-satisfied are the easiest to degenerate..." Ye Yun muttered insincerely.
