Volume 2: Wu Enters Witchcraft Chapter 59: Occupying the Witch's Cultivation Hall

  Ye Fan ignored the eight witches and walked into the witch repair hall with his head held high and his chest out.

  Ye Xue followed behind him, looking around and saw that the interior of Wuxiutang was filled with bronze sculptures everywhere, all of which were human figures in a single color. Judging from their appearance, they should be statues of the same witch.

  On the wall behind the sculpture are written rows of names of spells.

  Ye Xue browsed through it all the way, shocked in his heart: "Eagle Snake Double Strike, Golden Rhinoceros Great Strength Divine Ability, Green Python Nine Strikes, Dragon Snake Combined Strike, Taiyi Heaven Sword Technique... I'm afraid all the witchcraft in the Witch's Library are here..."

  The statue made all sorts of poses, strange and unparalleled.

  "This is the form of Eagle Snake Double Strike!"

  Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and noticed that the top of one of the sculptures was carved with a cloud, and in the middle of the cloud stood a green-scaled eagle's claw.

  And below it is another sculpture, above the eagle's claws, with half of the snake's body protruding.

  Behind it, the eagle snake becomes more and more complete, even with a sculpture of the dantian part, growing out a snake tail.

  Finally, in the last sculpture, a complete eagle snake has evolved, vivid and lifelike, just like the arrival of this ancient alien species.

  However, the sculpture of the eagle snake was cut open in a uniform color, and its internal organs, muscles, blood vessels, and various structures were all clearly visible, just like a real flesh and blood body!

  In the Witch's Hall, there were about a dozen high-ranking officials from the Imperial Court, sitting upright under various sculptures, their eyes fixed on the statues with an air of infatuation, as if pondering the mysteries of witchcraft.

  "Several uncles and aunts are here, as well as Fifth Uncle Zhu!"

  Ye Xue saw an old man with white hair sitting under a sculpture, and his heart was shocked. Suddenly, he realized: "The Wuxiu Hall teaches not witchcraft, but how to cultivate witchcraft! These sculptures represent the process of Yuanqi's evolution into witchcraft!"

  He soon understood the role of these sculptures, eagles, snakes, golden unicorns, green jiao dragons and other powerful and rare mythical creatures that ordinary people could hardly see.

  If one has never seen such a demonic beast, cultivating the corresponding witchcraft will not be able to transform into these demonic beasts with yuanqi, so the cultivated witchcraft is just an empty shell without power.

  Although Ye's family is the largest witch family in Liu Zhou, relying on the strength of Ye's family, it is impossible to capture these monsters and let witches observe their shape and charm.

  The Wushu Hall carved out so many sculptures, just to let later generations rely on these sculptures to imagine the corresponding witchcraft.

  "These sculptures, even if they are used to practice witchcraft, probably can't fully capture the charm of these exotic beasts. Compared to the power that witchcraft should have, it will be greatly weakened." Ye Xuhui thought.

  He also knew that Ye's ancestors had no choice but to do so. Not to mention the difficulty in finding such monsters as eagles, snakes, golden stags and green pythons, even if they were really lucky enough to find them, the whole Ye family would have to go out together, and it was feared that they would not be a match for them, and there would only be one outcome: total annihilation!

  Ye Fan walked right into the center of Wuxiutang, and with a loud shout, he said: "Today, I will be teaching witchcraft here. All you idle people, get out!"

  As soon as this was said, there was a sudden commotion, and even Ye Xuan's heart felt a little nervous!

  This is the most important witch hall in the Ye family's inner court. Almost all of the core powers of the Ye family are present, which one isn't a strong expert?

  They used to stomp their feet and make the city of Liuzhou tremble three times, now they're being told to scram, how can they not be furious?

  "Who dares to be arrogant here..."

  Ye Xue saw Sixth Uncle Ye Siyi suddenly fly into a rage, standing up and about to launch into a loud scolding, but when he saw that the speaker was Ye Lun, he immediately shut his mouth and hastily retreated from the Wuxiu Hall.

  The others also hastily got up and walked out.

  "We've been sitting for a while now, it's been days, we've cultivated for too long and should move our limbs."

  "Yes, yes, it's time to go out and get some fresh air."

  In a moment, everyone had left, leaving only Fifth Uncle Ye Zhi still sitting there, calm and collected.

  "Yebao, you're just an outsider who was defeated by my nephew Sidao and are doing chores in the Ye family without any status. How dare you tell me to leave?" Ye Zhi sneered.

  Ye Fan's eyebrows rose, and he sneered: "You Ye Manor, except for Ye Si Dao, the rest are a group of incompetent fools, you're no exception! Get out!"

  "Damn it! How dare you speak to me like this!"

  Ye Zhi's face turned red with rage, just as he was about to stand up, Ye Fan sneered, and a black smoke billowed out of the hundred ghost flags, transforming into a huge hand that covered an area of nearly ten feet in diameter. With one swipe downwards, it grasped Ye Zhi, rendering him unable to escape no matter how hard he struggled!

  "You're as old as a dog, and you call me a stupid pig? You think I'm beneath you?"

  Ye Fan casually tossed him out of the Witch Refining Hall, coldly laughing: "If it weren't for Ye Si Dao's face, I would have killed you long ago, extracted your living soul, and used it as fertilizer for my witch treasure!"

  Ye Zhi's anger burned fiercely in his chest, he wanted to rush in and fight him to the death, but then thought better of it, knowing he wasn't a match for him. Filled with hatred, he turned and left.

  Ye Yun licked his lips and said in a low voice, "I really want to kill this old guy. Although he's incompetent, he's still cultivated to the eighth rank of Fused Yuan. If I were to capture his nascent soul with my Hundred Ghosts Flag, it would definitely increase the power of this treasure. Unfortunately, if I killed him, Ye Si Dao would definitely fight me to the death, and I'm not a match for him..."

  Ye Xumao's hair stood on end, this old man was simply born to kill, except for the master Ye Sidao, no one else was in his eyes. If it weren't for Ye Sidao, he would have already bloodbathed Liu Zhou!

  However, Ye Fan's actions made Ye Xu feel a sense of inadequacy: "If I had such strength, I should be so domineering and arrogant, that would be refreshing, that would be the mark of a true man..."

  Ye Fan looked at Ye Xu and said lightly: "Seventh Master, it's quiet now, you can choose a witchcraft method, I'll teach you the key to mastering it."

  Ye Xue bowed his head in contemplation. The witchcraft he had seen was not much, only two kinds, one was the Eagle Snake Double Strike, and the other was Ma Sanbao's Green Python Nine Strikes.

  The Eagle Snake Double Strike in the hands of Ye Siyun and Ye Fu was not very powerful. Only after Ye Xu carefully examined the carvings in the Wuxiu Hall did he understand that their Eagle Snake Double Strike had been cultivated to be superficial, only getting its shape but not its spirit, far from being authentic.

  If the authentic Eagle Snake Double Strike is unleashed, its power will definitely be several times to ten times greater. With the yuanqi transforming into an eagle and a snake, one strike will shatter rocks and shock the heavens!

  However, even if those two entered the Neifu Wuxiutang and learned the authentic Eagle Claw technique, they probably still wouldn't be able to truly master the Eagle Claw.

  The Eagle Snake Double Strike of the Wu Xiu Hall is only the Eagle Snake Double Strike of the Ye family, and there is still a gap with the real Eagle Snake Double Strike. To fully master this witchcraft, one must see the eagle snake monster with their own eyes, comprehend its habits, and grasp the spirit of this monster!

  Ye Xiu thought for a long time and finally made up his mind. He looked up and said, "Senior, I want to learn the Great Heavenly Sword Technique!"

  Ye Fan's expression changed to one of surprise, and he praised: "No wonder Ye Si Dao said that you have a clear mind, far surpassing ordinary people. Indeed, it is not wrong! The eagle snake, dragon, golden armadillo and other demons are mostly extinct, so these witchcrafts cannot be cultivated to the perfect realm. Your choice of Taiyi Heaven Sword Technique is indeed a wise move."

  He paused for a moment and shook his head: "However, the Dahuan Tianjian technique is too weak, I haven't learned it, so I can't teach you."

  Ye Xuh felt somewhat disappointed and had no choice but to settle for second best, saying: "Then please, senior, teach me the Eagle Snake Double Strike spell instead."

  "I haven't learned it either, choose another one." Ye Fan's expression looked somewhat uncomfortable and impatient.

  "What about Jinzhu's Great Power and Divine Connection?"

  "I haven't learned it."

  ……

  Ye Xulian asked about a dozen or so witchcraft methods, and Ye Yun finally became impatient, annoyed and angry: "Little kid, stop being picky! I only know one witchcraft method in my life, which is Qing Xiao Jiu Ji (Green Snake Nine Strikes)! Last time that guy Ye Si Dao let me substitute for him to teach Ma San Bao's little kid, the method I taught him was also Qing Xiao Jiu Ji! You can learn it or not! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't even teach you this witchcraft method!"

  Ye Xu was silent for a while, then whispered: "You should have said you only knew one way earlier... I wouldn't have chosen it..."
