Chapter 50: Witch Body-Refinement Techniques

Witch Body-Refinement Techniques!

Li Chaosheng was stunned when he heard that name, then he did not hesitate and immediately confirmed the exchange. Instantly a surge of information drilled into Li Chaosheng’s mind, and he immediately understood the power of Witch Body-Refinement Techniques.

Witch Body-Refinement Techniques originated with the ancient Witch Clan. The Witch Clan was an ancient race, said to have formed from Pangu’s essence. They didn’t cultivate the Primordial Spirit and focused only on cultivating the body. At one time they contested the Celestial Court with the demon races in the famous Witch-Demon War.

In the later stages of the Witch-Demon War, the Witch Clan lacked warriors, so they intermarried with the weaker human race, producing the first Witch-humans, called the Jiuli by humans. Their leader was Chi You, who once contested the world with the Emperor.

But later Chi You was destroyed, and the Jiuli were absorbed into the Yan and Huang bloodlines, gradually becoming ordinary descendants of Yan and Huang.

However, the first batch of Witch-humans of the Jiuli once produced a group of powerful warriors, the eighty-one brothers of Chi You, said to possess exceptionally strong metal-like skin and bones.

The reason their bodies were so formidable, besides the Witch Clan bloodline, was that the great Witch shamans streamlined the clan’s body-refinement methods to support the Jiuli, transforming them into Witch Body-Refinement Techniques suitable for humans to cultivate.

This was the earliest cultivation method of the Witch-humans. Later the Witch-humans gradually interacted with Yan and Huang and developed some inscrutable Witch arts. Because these arts worked quickly and required little talent to cultivate, they gradually became the main form of cultivation in the Witch Clan.

Witch Body-Refinement Techniques were gradually phased out. The nine volumes of Witch Body-Refinement Techniques were handed down by the ancestors, but no one knew how many still survived. And the volume Li Chaosheng obtained was the first of them.

It mainly described how to train the body and strengthen oneself.

At the opening, Witch Body-Refinement Techniques stated that humans who inherit Witch Clan bodies, also called Prenatal Dao Bodies, were beings that could approach the form of the great god Pangu. Prenatal Dao Bodies had endless uses. Unfortunately, ordinary cultivators, after passing the Postnatal body-refinement period, focused solely on cultivating the Primordial Spirit. Although the Primordial Spirit was also a great path, abandoning the path of the body was truly a pity.

The reason no gods or demons after Pangu could recreate the heavens and earth was because cultivators only trained the Primordial Spirit and neglected the body. Only by cultivating body and Primordial Spirit together could one be invincible in the world.

But the path of the body was too arduous and only geniuses could endure the bitter training. Those unwilling to cultivate the body need not worry, since the path of the Primordial Spirit could still lead to enlightenment and was more convenient.

However, the first volume’s content could be practiced by cultivators everywhere. It was a method of strengthening the body, reinforcing Postnatal foundations, and greatly benefitted later Primordial Spirit cultivation.

Next came the specific cultivation content, which turned out to be identical to Postnatal training. It was divided into Training Flesh, Training Sinews, Training Skin, Training Bones, Training Organs, and Training Marrow.

But these trainings must be performed after the Postnatal stage was perfected, reworking the body to increase its strength. If one trains to the pinnacle, even a Prenatal-level opponent could be matched.

The back of the volume recorded that once a member of the Witch Clan trained to the Postnatal peak and, in a rage, tore apart three early Prenatal cultivators while sustaining only light injuries.

“Tearing Prenatals with bare hands, my goodness. That must be treating Prenatal experts like roast chickens, right?”

Li Chaosheng sighed, and at the same time grew deeply interested in Witch Body-Refinement Techniques. Thanks to the Essence-Washing Marrow-Refining Fruit, his physical condition already belonged to the Postnatal peak. Unfortunately he had no cultivation technique to continue upgrading downward, so he could not achieve Postnatal-to-Prenatal transformation.

But this Witch Body-Refinement Techniques arrived at a perfect time. He had been worried about lacking a cultivation technique. This set could raise him another level, consolidating his bodily foundation. It was truly a good find.

Cultivation was like building a house: Postnatal training lay the foundation, and the firmer the foundation the better. This Witch Body-Refinement Techniques happened to fill that gap.

Moreover, if one advanced deeply in Witch Body-Refinement Techniques and could even tear Prenatals apart with bare hands, what was there to wait for? It was time to start training in it right now! It would not interfere with his later specialized cultivation techniques either. It was truly a rare treasure.

The thought excited Li Chaosheng and he wanted to start cultivating immediately, but then he thought of where he was and his resolve cooled. He decided to hold back.

At midnight, the outside noise died away, everyone had returned to their rooms to rest. Summer Lotus had finished the romance book in her hands, stretched lazily, took off her outer dress, revealing the white skin beneath and the pink undergarment covering her chest.

Whoosh~

Summer Lotus gently blew out the candle and lay on the soft couch. After a long while her breathing became even, so she must have fallen asleep. Li Chaosheng quietly peered in, stretched his body, and sat there without moving. Watching the beauty on the bed with her form faintly revealed, his mind began to wander.

If she were an ordinary courtesan, he probably would have charged in already. Unfortunately she was a rose with thorns. A White Lotus enchantress, in fact. She was not worth provoking, not worth it.

The night passed on silently. Early in the morning, the morning bell on the distant city tower was struck: dong, dong, dong…

Li Chaosheng woke slightly. At the same time Summer Lotus, lying on the couch, opened her eyes, and the door quietly opened as the head maid entered with two young maids.

Summer Lotus lazily stood, put on her dress, washed her face, brushed her teeth, applied a little makeup and lightly shaped her brows. Dressed, she sat cross-legged on the couch and began meditating to regulate her breath. She was practicing morning cultivation.

Two hours later, daylight brightened. The head maid ordered the two maids, “Carry him onto the bed.”

Summer Lotus rose and moved aside, and Li Chaosheng was tossed onto the bed. He could still smell the faint orchid scent on the couch, like a secluded orchid, fragrant and heady.

The head maid instructed, “Hurry, hurry and strip off his clothes.”

Li Chaosheng nearly screamed inside. What should he do??

Before Li Chaosheng could react, the two maids were already fumbling to remove his clothes, stripping his outer robe, then his undergarments, leaving Li Chaosheng only a pair of underpants.

“Miss, should we strip him of that too?” the head maid asked Summer Lotus.

Li Chaosheng was shocked. Don’t go too far* now*, he thought. This is the last line of defense for us men.

Summer Lotus said, “How dare you joke with me? If I wanted to, I could cut your tongue off, you know?”

The head maid chuckled, but when she turned her head she found the two young maids staring dumbfounded at Li Chaosheng’s abdominal muscles, muttering, “Wow, those abs are awesome. This is the kind of body a man should have.”

“Yes, I can’t stand it, I have to touch them. Oh my, they’re so well-defined. This man must be very strong. If only we could have him sleep with us for one night~”

The two maids’ eyes turned into hearts as their small hands groped. Li Chaosheng felt he was about to lose control of his primordial strength. If he were to act alone now, everything would be exposed. With no choice, Li Chaosheng gritted his teeth and slipped his mind into the Sea of Consciousness, entering the stele forest of the Killing Scripture to calm himself.

Women were terrifying. They say women in their thirties were like wolves, and those in their forties were like tigers, but those in their twenties could be frightening too. Although these two maids were very pretty, by modern standards they’d be minor influencers, grabbing him like that was excessive. Looking was one thing, but groping? Didn’t they know better?!
