Witch Clan Body-Refining Method
After the busy autumn harvest season was over, everyone sat in the pavilion, enjoying the various delicacies prepared by Little Moon Spirit and savoring the joy of the harvest.
The Little Fox asked Wu Chu to play the zither, and then she performed a unique Celestial Fox Dance of Qingqiu for everyone.
Watching the Little Fox's tiny body perform all sorts of seductive dance moves, Wu Chu simply changed the music and laughed, "Xiao Yu, why don't you dance the Seaweed Dance? That dance is more suitable for your age. The Celestial Fox Dance doesn't suit your temperament at all!"
Following the music, the Little Fox involuntarily wiggled its little bottom like seaweed, then stopped with a resentful pout, looking at Wu Chu.
When Houtu saw her little gesture, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. But in the end, she encouraged her in the manner of a gentle older sister, "Although I have never seen the real Celestial Fox Dance, I believe it must be very beautiful. However, what you said makes sense, fellow Daoist. Why don't you dance the Seaweed Dance, Xiao Yu? It's so cute and pretty."
Since the Little Fox's most prized Celestial Fox Dance didn't get a chance to perform, it had no choice but to grant Wu Chu's wish and dance a Seaweed Dance instead. It must be said that the Little Fox's Seaweed Dance was incredibly cute, no less so than the Celestial Fox Dance, which possessed a natural allure.
The Little Fox was too young, and its performance of the Celestial Fox Dance was far less impressive. When Wu Chu watched the Little Fox dance, he even imagined that the dancer was an adult fox spirit... Then he realized that this kind of naturally alluring dance could only be performed by an adult fox spirit.
Young Little Fox, you should probably do some cute Seaweed Dance instead.
After the dance, Houtu couldn't help but say to Wu Chu, "Fellow Daoist, although your cultivation is only average, your ingenious ideas are truly amazing. It's hard to imagine how you came up with these things."
"Sister, you flatter me. My cultivation level is far from ordinary; it's utterly insignificant. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao's mercy, bestowing some Merit upon me and giving me a sliver of hope to save my life, how could I be sitting here drinking, singing, and watching dance with you..."
Houtu smiled and shook her head, "I am not exaggerating. Although I have pondered many questions, I have never thought about this kind of issue. Even if I had, I would not have thought of these things."
Wu Chu played the guqin, producing a resounding sound, and said with a smile, "How can you compare them like that! You might not believe it, but actually, people are all forced into things."
To make his words more convincing, Wu Chu began to cover up his lie. "Because my cultivation level is too low, I need to extract energy from the outside world, but I dare not eat bloody raw food. What should I do? I tried roasting it with fire... In this way, as I tried step by step, strange ideas and things naturally accumulated."
Then, he changed the subject, "Speaking of cultivation, I'd like to ask you, sister, is it possible for someone with a body like mine to cultivate the body-refining methods of your Witch Clan?"
In fact, there aren't many body-refining cultivators in the history of Primordial World mythology. The most famous one is probably Yang Jian, the True Lord Yang.
As for Yang Jian, he is a character from the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, which is still far removed from the present.
As for the monkey, it's a character from later parts of Journey to the West.
These two, however, are quite inferior to the immortals and gods of the early Primordial World era.
In the Primordial World era, those who practiced body refinement were mainly the Witch Clan.
Houtu shook her head slightly and said, "Although our clan follows the path of body refinement, we mainly rely on Bloodline Divine Ability. It's just that the source of power to activate these powers is different from that of other beings. To be honest, it's all based on the same principle. Therefore, fellow Daoist, there's really no need for you to learn our clan's body refinement method."
"Having more skills is never a bad thing. If you think it's alright, you can tell me. If..."
"It's alright to tell you!" Houtu smiled, and with a wave of her hand, a diagram of the human body appeared out of thin air. However, this diagram of the human body was actually quite different from Wu Chu's body, the most significant difference being the distribution of meridians within the body.
Wu Chu had many meridians in his body, but this human body diagram only had four meridians, centered on the heart and extending outwards to the limbs—simple and straightforward.
"Our clan's body-refining method primarily involves drawing in the Earth Fiend Qi..."
Houtu spoke, he reached out and grabbed a wisp of earthy-yellow mist, which he then casually cast into the human body diagram. The earthy-yellow mist entered the diagram and began to circulate within the body, eventually merging into the heart.
"Our clan's body refinement mainly focuses on the power of the bloodline. The Earth Fiend Qi is integrated into the bloodline, stimulating it and unleashing the power within to form supernatural abilities. Then, the power of qi and blood is used to activate these supernatural abilities..." Houtu explained while demonstrating with diagrams.
She explained it in simple terms, and Wu Chu could understand the principle immediately.
So Wu Chu couldn't help but say, "Sister, may I try that Earth Fiend Qi to see if my body is suitable for cultivating your clan's body-refining methods?"
Houtu chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "How can such a thing be tried casually? Our race is different from other living beings. Our bloodline is more suited to the Earth Fiend Qi. We were born from the essence and blood of our Father God mixed with the Earth Fiend Qi, and we are naturally affinityous to it..."
That's what she said, but Houtu still drew in an Earth Fiend Qi and sent it towards Wu Chu.
Wu Chu didn't dodge and was hit by the Earth Fiend Qi.
However, as soon as that Earth Fiend Qi entered his body, it was repelled by the Five-Colored Mist within him and expelled directly.
"See, these two forces cannot be reconciled!"
Houtu also witnessed what was happening to Wu Chu.
Wu Chu stroked his chin and said, "Since we can't use the power of the Earthly Fiends, can we use spiritual energy to achieve this? We could infuse spiritual energy into our bloodlines to stimulate them..."
Houtu nodded slightly and said, "Theoretically, it is feasible, and I have indeed seen some giant beasts cultivate in this way. However, after those giant beasts successfully Transformation Form, they will switch to the method of cultivation that everyone is familiar with now, in order to strengthen their primordial Primordial Spirit. For beings like you who possess Primordial Spirit, the physical body becomes insignificant in their eyes. Therefore, fellow Daoist, there is indeed no need for you to waste your time on this."
Wu Chu nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sister. However, if I have the opportunity, I still hope to enhance my physical strength. Just think, if I can raise my physical strength to a level comparable to those Spirit Treasure, then who would I have to fear?"
Houtu laughed upon hearing this, then shook her head and said, "To raise one's physical strength to the level of Spirit Treasure, it depends on what kind of Spirit Treasure it is. Even we siblings cannot compare to the physical strength of top-tier Spirit Treasure, let alone those Primordial Supreme Treasure."
"Sister is too modest. How can an ordinary Spirit Treasure be compared to Supreme Treasure?" Wu Chu clicked his tongue inwardly, and then asked, "Sister, do you have any cultivation methods of the Witch Clan that I can refer to?"
