This time, Sandrew neither roared nor got angry. He sat quietly beside Li Ziran like a friend.
"Threading is an extremely important step. Not only for the Corpse Witch Formation—in the Necromantic Domain, from the tiniest Bone Grasshopper to the highest-grade Bone Dragon, every formation requires threading. It is like the meridians of living creatures. These threads transport necrotic energy, so every single one must be even and solid. Li Ziran, I'll demonstrate it for you once."
Fine silver-white threads stretched out, flowing from one bone point into another. After a brief pause, they entered the next one.
Li Ziran regulated his breathing in an orderly manner, doing his best to let his spiritual power flow freely.
At this moment, he had never found anything so easy. It seemed as though he was not drawing a complex Corpse Witch Formation at all, but casting the Transformation Spell he knew best.
Whenever the slightest fluctuation appeared, Sandrew would immediately call a halt.
The thread passed through the final bone point. Next came the shaping of the core Oracle Bone Script.
"Stop!" Sandrew suddenly shouted. "Li, rest and adjust your condition. The shaping of the Oracle Bone Script must be completed in one breath."
Li Ziran nodded and quietly watched Sandrew. At that moment, he seemed to have gained a special sort of confidence.
Sandrew looked utterly disheveled now, yet he gave Li Ziran a sense of calm.
"Remember the key points I mentioned. For your first time, forget speed and accuracy. All you need is the right mindset—one breath. Do not pursue whether the Bone Script is good or bad. As long as you can complete it, that is enough!" Sandrew warned him again and again. "Are you ready?"
Li Ziran nodded solemnly.
"Begin!"
Like the starting gun at a race,
