"Very well! Since you understand it all, this old man will go and rest. Tomorrow, I will test how much you have learned! Whether you are qualified to ascend Mount Wushen!"
Su Xingyan let out a soft snort and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeve.
Hua Yuxiao also prepared to see him off. She couldn't bear sitting for a whole day, let alone Su Xingyan in his current condition.
But just then, Ling Feng put down the secret manual in his hand.
"Elder Su, please wait!"
"Heh heh, what? Is there something you don't understand that you want to ask this old man?"
Su Xingyan stopped, looking at Ling Feng with a strange smile, as if he had finally found an opportunity to lecture Ling Feng.
But at this moment, Ling Feng's eyes were as deep as the vast starry sky. He stared at Su Xingyan, seeing clearly the breathing rhythm of every pore on his body, even the expansion of his internal organs, the changes in his blood, and the pulsation of a tiny diseased cell.
This miraculous feeling was the door to a new world that had been opened!
Ling Feng could clearly discern that Su Xingyan's extreme weakness was caused by subtle lesions within his body.
It was not mental fatigue, muscle exhaustion, nor general debility, but rather the lingering sources of disease from his previous injuries that had not been completely eradicated.
Although his body was gradually healing itself, slowly eliminating these sources of disease.
However, this self-healing process was extremely long, and it would take at least three to five months to recover completely.
Even though his previous medical skills were sufficient to cure Su Xingyan without any sequelae.
But now, from the perspective of a witch doctor, Su Xingyan would inevitably suffer some after-effects, and even these symptoms and lesions would accelerate his death once his body aged to a certain extent.
Witch Doctor!
Seeing through some fundamental truths!
"Elder Su, does the manor have Qingyanxiang, Lünin Gu, Hua Wu, Cuifen..."
Ling Feng spoke calmly, listing a series of items used by witch doctors with practiced ease.
Su Xingyan was stunned for a moment, but the further he listened, the wider his eyes grew. By the end, his eyeballs almost popped out, and his mouth hung agape.
"Ah? Hmm, you... how do you know these things? Did you read them in books?"
Su Xingyan exclaimed, his speech stuttering. He probably hadn't been as shocked in his entire life as he was today.
Ling Feng nodded calmly, "Yes, they are recorded in the books. To ordinary doctors, these things might not even be considered medicinal ingredients, and some of them possess no medicinal properties. However, with the art of witchery, if you procure these items, I can enable Elder Su to quickly recover his physical strength!"
"You, you..."
Su Xingyan pointed at Ling Feng with his finger, looking as if he had seen a ghost, unable to utter a word, and began to gasp for air, appearing as if he might die at any moment!
"Grandpa Su, please don't get agitated! Don't get excited, I, I'll go and fetch Grandpa!"
Hua Yuxiao was startled and was about to rush out of the door, but Su Xingyan grabbed her back.
"No, no need. Alas... I never expected, never expected this! Young Ling Feng, you can actually comprehend the art of witchery! Could it be that the ancestral artifacts are destined to fall into the hands of an outsider?"
Su Xingyan shook his head with a wry smile, sighing endlessly!
These were family heirlooms, things that were absolutely not to be passed down!
Su Xingyan had indeed shown off a bit when he brought them out earlier.
At the same time, he was certain that Ling Feng would not be able to thoroughly comprehend any of them, and it was unlikely he could even memorize them.
But now?
Su Xingyan himself found it difficult to grasp the profound mysteries of the items Ling Feng had mentioned.
Moreover, he was certain that Ling Feng was not talking nonsense!
Alas... since the ancestral artifacts had already been leaked, Su Xingyan naturally felt a great deal of melancholy.
Hearing this, Ling Feng understood Su Xingyan's original intentions. He couldn't help but lower his head. He had already read more than eighty to ninety percent of these ancient scrolls and secret manuals, and it would take less than fifteen minutes to comprehend the rest!
It was impossible to return them now, even if he wanted to.
Furthermore, Ling Feng was not satisfied. The art of witchery was as vast as the sea, and he felt as though he had only scooped a ladleful of water from it.
This naturally could not satisfy his appetite.
Little did he know that even this ladleful of water was a unique existence in the world today. xxs1
"Alas, forget it, forget it. Young Ling Feng, I have the things you asked for. They were originally useless items, and I thought I would never need them in my life. Now..."
Su Xingyan began to shake his head with a wry smile again, as if resigned to his fate.
Ling Feng came back to his senses and glanced at Hua Yuxiao beside him. A trace of bitterness spread through his heart.
If Su Xingyan had taught him these witch doctor arts earlier, he wouldn't have had to spend so much time.
Because he could have easily cured Su Xingyan, and then Su Xingyan could have taken him to Mount Wushen to participate in the Witch Gu Convention!
But now, it was too late to say anything; everything had already happened.
Hua Yuxiao, however, had not yet realized this and was only helping Su Xingyan to go and fetch the medicine.
"Oh, right, Elder Su, if you have Fang Shizi, Mogancao... please bring those as well!"
"I only have one or two of these things, and the others are too difficult to find, probably extinct!" Su Xingyan replied casually, then asked with a hint of confusion, "What do you want these things for? Are they also for me?"
Ling Feng shook his head, "Just bring whatever you have among them."
As the two left, Ling Feng did not forget to remind them, "Miss Hua, don't stay away from me for too long."
Although these words sounded like a reminder, they carried a hint of ambiguity.
Hua Yuxiao's pretty face flushed, and she nodded slightly.
The things Ling Feng wanted later were all for Hua Yuxiao. There was no need to use the Ice Silkworm Gu to absorb the cold poison bit by bit.
In the art of witchery, there were countless methods to cure these ailments.
It was just a pity that many of them were difficult to find, or they were commonplace but unrecognized.
"Inanimate objects are always inferior to living ones. Witchery emphasizes raising Gu first. It seems that in the future, I will not be able to do without Gu worms."
The auxiliary role of medicine and stone in witchery was still greatly limited, and most of it involved Gu raising techniques, which Ling Feng had already mastered.
He picked up the ancient scrolls on the ground and scanned them, not comprehending them, but merely memorizing them!
Ling Feng sat cross-legged, and the true qi within his body, in a special way, combined with his vital blood to nourish the Ice Silkworm Gu within him!
This made the originally injured and weak Ice Silkworm Gu extremely excited, and it became even more compatible with Ling Feng.
"The Ice Silkworm Gu is an exotic species, and its advancement speed is relatively fast. Choosing it as my life Gu was also fortunate."
Ling Feng opened his eyes and looked up at a corner of the roof where a spider was spinning its web.
With a casual wave of his hand, a spider was caught in Ling Feng's palm. He broke open the egg sac on its back, and a large number of small spiders poured out.
A drop of crimson blood oozed from Ling Feng's palm, and the newly hatched spiderlings immediately swarmed over, frantically sucking the blood.
After a moment, they disappeared into Ling Feng's palm along with the larger spider.
The art of raising Gu was also infinitely varied!
Any ordinary object could become a Gu.
These items could all be used by witch doctors for their respective purposes.
This was also the foundation of witchery.
