Ghost Hand Witch Doctor Die Wu (Part Two)

"Is this really Phoenix Bird?" Looking at the Little Fire Phoenix perched on the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood, even though its face Zhedang by grime, Zhuge Xiang could tell by his senses that at this moment, Die Wu's eyes were shining as she pounced on the Little Fire Phoenix.

She came for the Treasure Seeking Rat, but upon seeing the Little Fire Phoenix, the Treasure Seeking Rat was completely forgotten.

With a flash, Die Wu arrived beside Little Fire Phoenix, gazing at its noble and elegant form with adoration in her eyes, and reached out to grab it.

Zhuge Xiang's deduction was correct. This Die Wu should be at the Void Returning Stage of cultivation. Her fleeting movement was incredibly fast, and even Zhuge Xiang couldn't stop her in time.

However, just because Zhuge Xiang couldn't act in time doesn't mean others couldn't. If you were to ask who the Wutong Phoenix Tree Divine Wood was most concerned about, it would naturally be the Little Fire Phoenix. Seeing that Die Wu had forcibly made a move, how could the Wutong Divine Tree be at ease letting an unknown person in the Void Returning Stage capture the Little Fire Phoenix? Branches waved, like octopus tentacles, blocking Die Wu's hand.

"Demon Tree?" Die Wu looked at the Wutong Phoenix Tree Divine Wood blocking her way with some surprise. The burning sensation in her hand told her that the power of this Demon Tree was no less than hers, and perhaps even stronger.

The Phoenix Tree Divine Wood has no desire for conflict and is content to remain a tree. Therefore, although its cultivation is strong, it doesn't have much substantial combat experience. On the Ninth Layer the Heaven-Piercing Tower, Ming Yan's cultivation is even weaker than the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood's, yet he was able to suppress it, which explains this.

However, in Zhuge Xiang's eyes, this Die Wu's cultivation level was not only inferior to that of the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood, but her so-called combat experience was also completely blank, just like the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood.

How could a powerful being at the Void Returning Stage have absolutely no combat experience? Zhuge Xiang was astonished, but considering her status as a revered figure, the most important factor was clearly her special ability.

"Hey, is this really Phoenix Bird? I want it. Can you give it to me? I'll agree to whatever you ask for," Die Wu said to Phoenix Tree Divine Wood Zhuge Xiang, knowing she couldn't take the Phoenix Bird from the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood after being stopped by it. She also knew that Zhuge Xiang seemed to be the rightful owner here.

"Whether it's Phoenix Bird or not, didn't you see for yourself? As for giving it to you, that's impossible. Have you ever seen anyone give away their child?"

Zhuge Xiang shook his head. Giving away the Little Fire Phoenix? Of course not. Offering her benefits? Though she was a retainer, could the benefits she offered compare to those of Ying Wushuang, the Ninth Princess of the Great Qin Empire?

"Child?" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Zhuge Xiang 'Die Wu eyes widened as she stared at him in astonishment, scrutinizing him from head to toe. Her gaze was even more earnest and fervent than when she looked at the Little Fire Phoenix: "This Phoenix Bird is your child? Could it be? You are a bird-person who has successfully Transformation?"

"...", Zhuge Xiang's lips twitched, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Mo Lingna next to him burst into laughter without any regard for her image.

Seeing Zhuge Xiang's frustrated expression, she found it amusing. At the same time, she also felt that Zhuge Xiang was a more real person, possessing immense strength, yet also a flesh-and-blood human being.

"I am not Phoenix, I am human. Who says a human can't adopt a Phoenix as their child?" Zhuge Xiang said to Die Wu, his face almost dark. Was this guy out of his mind? Phoenix in human form? Didn't he realize he only had the True Essence Realm cultivation?

"Alright, alright, little Phoenix, please give me back my Treasure Seeking Rat," Die Wu seemed to realize that something was wrong with her, shook her head, and tried to calm herself down before speaking to Little Fire Phoenix.

After rescuing the shrill, Treasure Seeking Rat from under the phoenix's beak, he then said to Zhuge Xiang, "May I ask how this young master is addressed? You must be a new retainer? If you don't mind, how about coming to sit with me?"

This Die Wu has decent cultivation, but judging from her appearance, she seems somewhat mentally unstable. Zhuge Xiang originally wanted to refuse her invitation, but Mo Lingna next to him seemed very interested and nodded, saying, "Alright, we're new here and would like to visit the other Hall of Honored Guests. I wonder what the most unique ability of Miss Die Wu's Great Tang Dynasty Cultivation Technique is?"

In the Hall of Honored Guests, each worshipper is not valued for their cultivation level or strength, but rather for their unique Special Ability or talents. As a member of the Hall of Honored Guests, Die Wu naturally possesses her own Special Ability Cultivation Technique talents.

"My abilities... well, it's not something to keep secret. You and I live next door, so you'll find out more in the future. I'm actually a Doctor, well, I should say a Doctor..." Die Wu Dance said in response to Mo Lingna's question, defining her abilities as those of a Doctor.

"Doctor? So, Miss Die Wu's medical skills are superb?" Zhuge Xiang hadn't expected that Die Wu's ability was actually that of a Doctor. If that meant they could build a good relationship, and she could help with injuries and other problems in the future?

"Although I am a Doctor, my medical skills are not for saving people," she shook her head. Although her fluffy hair covered her face, Zhuge Xiang could clearly see a chilling smile on her lips.

Zhuge Xiang's Courtyard is next to Die Wu's Courtyard, and it's actually a quick walk between them. However, when Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna arrived at Die Wu's Courtyard, they were both stunned.

A puppy runs merrily in the Courtyard, but its feet are four human legs; there's also a human with two heads, a male and a female, fused together; and a pig with a monkey's head. Such bizarre and strange creatures are truly countless...

"This..." Zhuge Xiang was surprised by what he saw, and his surprise was evident on his face. All things in the Heaven and Earth grow and reproduce according to their own laws, but here, he could see strange creatures that had never existed before.

"Some of these are animals I rescued, and some are people I rescued," Die Wu Dance explained, pointing to the little dog with four human legs. "The owner of this little dog was heartless. He cut off all four of its legs because he wanted to eat dog legs. I felt sorry for the little dog, so I reattached its four human legs, and sure enough, it can run again."

As she spoke, Die Wu pointed to the people staring at the two severed heads and said, "These two were lovers, but due to societal norms, the woman died. To be with her forever, the man cut off her head and attached it to his body. Sure enough, they were able to be together forever..."

"Yes, thank you so much, Miss Die Wu," the man's head said gratefully as Die Wu. The woman's head also spoke, her expression one of deep gratitude. "Thank you so much, Miss Die Wu, for saving my life."

"Incredible skill!" Zhuge Xiang said sincerely upon hearing Die Wu's words.

Although the dog with four human legs and the person staring at its head looked terrifying, Zhuge Xiang had to admit that Die Wu's ability was indeed a miraculous medical skill, capable of grafting limbs from two completely different lives together.

"Oh? You think my abilities are amazing?" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's evaluation, Die Wu stared at him with wide eyes and asked seriously.

"Of course, how can this ability not be considered miraculous? If something unforeseen happens to me next time, I might have to rely on Miss Die Wu's abilities," Zhuge Xiang nodded emphatically and replied, his eyes showing no evasion, only upright composure. His words were clearly from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

"This grafting of limbs is nothing but a trivial skill. I can also graft souls, grafting together various souls to complete them, and even grafting knowledge and Memory along with them. Simply put, if you give me the soul of an unparalleled expert, I can graft it onto an ordinary person, allowing an ordinary person to leap into becoming an unparalleled expert in one leap," Die Wu continued as Zhuge Xiang finished speaking, her tone revealing a hint of pride.

Grafting limbs had already amazed Zhuge Xiang with its incredible skill, so grafting souls, or even Memory and knowledge, was something Die Wu was waiting to see Zhuge Xiang's astonished expression.

As expected, both Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna looked surprised upon hearing this. The ability to graft knowledge and Memory was truly unbelievable. However, while Zhuge Xiang showed surprise, he was not astonished. Instead, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Die Wu asked, puzzled, seeing Zhuge Xiang's slightly furrowed brows, as she had been expecting a gasp from him.

"It can even graft Memory and knowledge from the soul, transforming an ordinary person into an unparalleled powerhouse. This ability is indeed terrifying. But I want to ask, after the grafting, is that ordinary person still himself?" Zhuge Xiang asked Die Wu.

"This..." Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's question, Die Wu hesitated for a moment before answering, "The person is still the same person, but their Memory, knowledge, experience, and insights have all changed. Therefore, their personality should also undergo a complete transformation."

"The most important things about a person are their personality, their way of thinking, and so on. If all of these change, then even if the soul is still the same soul, is the person still the same person?" Zhuge Xiang continued, expressing his true feelings. If even personality and other aspects change, is the person still the same person?

"I don't know, I really don't know..." Die Wu eyes momentarily blank, unsure how to answer Zhuge Xiang. (To be continued...)
