Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique-Chapter 752 - 227: Totem_2

Chapter 752 -227: Totem_2

With this in mind, wouldn’t it be clear who the current Witch Master of the ‘Witch Charm’ organization is?

Perhaps because the suspicion of her intention to kill Li Sisi was lifted, Hu Suqi appeared joyful, her voice much more uplifted, she said: “My conditions are simple. I would like you to step in and reduce the worries in your eldest martial brother’s heart.”

“Um…”

Upon hearing this, Link wondered, “Does Miss Hu have feelings for my senior brother?”

“What are you talking about? Having feelings or not?”

Hu Suqi shot Link a hard look, inadvertently revealing the charm and allure of a mature woman.

No wonder my senior brother would be so fascinated.

“Oh? Why then is Miss Hu so concerned about my senior brother’s opinion?”

Link kept his gaze steady, his mind tranquil, continuing his line of questioning.

“Your elder martial brother is just a blockhead. How could I possibly have feelings for him?”

Hu Suqi replied defiantly, explaining, “My reputation, you should know, it is not good. It is rare to find someone who regards me highly. I just don’t want to lose that.”

Having passed the age of thirty without marrying, frequently dealing with Governor Hu’s affairs, mixing with high society, along with being a good-looking and well-mannered woman naturally gave rise to various rumors.

Whether it’s sour grapes, envy, or other hidden intentions.

At any rate, the reputation of Miss Hu, the second daughter, is hard to explain.

“Alright, I agree, Miss Hu.”

Link knew that Miss Hu, in reality, led a very proper life. She took emotions and chastity very seriously, and never messed around.

She was just tricked by a deceitful man during her teenage years. Though she didn’t lose her purity, she lost a pure heart and a fortune. After that, she began to disguise herself.

The so-called socialite was just a way of protecting herself.

Having received Link’s assurance, the frustration that built up within Hu Suqi from the continuous disturbances and misunderstandings tonight vanished. She quickly stood up and went into the study to take out a thick volume.

“This is the orthodox ancient witchcraft that I’ve collated over the years, some of it has been restored, but most of it is incomplete.”

As she spoke, Hu Suqi handed the thick book to Link.

“Thank you, Miss Hu.”

Link received the thick book, expressed his thanks, and then asked, “Could Miss Hu please explain the origin of Ancient Witchcraft and Evil Witchcraft?”

“Of course.”

Hu Suqi agreed, thought for a moment, and began, “The Ancient Witchcraft originated from the ancient times when humans feared nature, the powerful beasts, worshiped the heavens and the earth, and yearned for immortality. The Human Immortal Martial Path, in a strict sense, is an extraordinary system developed by our forefathers in their pursuit of immortality. Young Hero Lin, being a genius of the Human Immortal Martial Path in the Southern Pugilistic World, naturally knows that Human Immortal Martial Path requires a balance between essence, qi, and spirit. In fact, in the early stages of human cultivation, the focus was on the spirit.”

After a pause, Hu Suqi continued with a hint of yearning:

“A group of forefathers believed that the world was filled with suffering, the body was like a precious raft, carrying the true spirit across the sea of suffering to reach the other shore, pursuing the shedding of the mortal body and the transcendence of the spiritual soul.

Latterly, several Ancient Witchcraft sects announced that their powerful members had ascended to the upper world and had successfully transcended. This led Ancient Witchcraft to reach its peak.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last. According to the theory of Ancient Witchcraft, those who have ascended to the upper world should be able to maintain a certain connection with the lower world. They should answer the prayers of their disciples and grandchildren, granting protection and power.

However, no sect was able to achieve this.

This led to doubts within the cultivation circles.

Whether Ancient Witchcraft could truly transcend became a question, not a truth.

Later on, one day, a meteor shower fell from the sky.

Someone found a fragment of a stone tablet with some information on it from a meteorite crater.

The decoded information turned out to be a method of cultivation, very similar to the then-known ‘Ancient Witchcraft’.

As the news spread, more and more cultivators searched for meteorite craters and those broken stone tablets.

As more pieces of broken stone tablets were found, a cultivation system similar to ‘Ancient Witchcraft’ yet different emerged in this world.

Many thought that this was the path to heaven that those who had ascended to the upper world had found a way to send back. They ignored the warnings of the knowledgeable and forcefully practiced this.

From then on, Evil Witchcraft, which nourishes itself by seizing and draining the essence, qi, and spirit of sentient beings, spread and plagued the world.

Human Immortal Martial Path took this opportunity to categorize ‘Ancient Witchcraft’ and Evil Witchcraft together as heretical practices and sought to eliminate them.

Thousands of years went by, ‘Ancient Witchcraft’ and Evil Witchcraft disappeared completely, until 168 years ago.

Someone discovered a relic and obtained a mixed heritage of ‘Ancient Witchcraft’ and Evil Witchcraft.

A group calling themselves ‘Witch’ appeared, flourished briefly, wreaked havoc in the world, then were eradicated.”

Link listened carefully to Hu Suqi’s account, deep in thought.

He was certain that Hu Suqi herself firmly believed in her explanation.

Whether it was true or not was still up for debate.

After all, the story was too old, with a lot of content based on inference, even speculation.

But that wasn’t very important, whether it was true or not didn’t have much impact.

“Miss Hu, there’s something I need to clarify with you first.”

Link decisively switched the topic, prepping her for his next point.

“What is it? Young Hero Lin, please feel free to speak.”

Hu Suqi’s attitude was excellent, maybe due to feelings for him, or perhaps for another reason.

“The ‘Witch Master’, who controls the ‘Witch Charm’ organisation and plotted against my master—I must track it to the very end. I’m telling Miss Hu in advance, so we can avoid any misunderstanding down the line.”

Link declared his determination solemnly.

Hearing this, Hu Suqi exhaled softly.

After a long silence, she nodded slightly, “Young Hero Lin, please do as you see fit.”

“With those words from Miss Hu, I am relieved.”

Link stood up, picked up the heavy book, and walked out, “I’ve disturbed Miss Hu tonight, I apologize.”

Once his words fell, he had disappeared, along with the heavy tome.

Hu Suqi sat quietly for a while, sighed softly, then went back to bed. She did nothing else.

Link’s real body returned to the martial arts school at an extremely fast speed, even earlier than Brother Shi.

The heavy book he had gotten from Hu Suqi was transported to him through a secret technique from his doppelganger, and brought back home.

Regardless of whether Brother Shi would visit in the middle of the night, Link turned on the light, sat at the desk, and read the thick book carefully, hoping to find some useful information and references.

Ancient Witchcraft, Evil Witchcraft, if they could help unlock memories and improve the ‘Construction’ system, it didn’t matter.

A black cat or a white cat, whichever catches mice is a good cat.

This made him read from midnight until dawn.

Naturally, he reaped quite a bit.

Unlocking memories, inspiring ideas, put those aside for now.

Just in terms of how to perfect the ‘Construction’ system, Link had a clear direction.

Whether it was Ancient Witchcraft or Evil Witchcraft, the proportion of ‘Totems’ was very significant.

Of course, ‘Totem’ was Link’s own translation for ease of understanding.

In reality, it used tattooing in the form of a specific technique, with specific paints, to create specific symbols or patterns on the body, achieving the effect of a branded technique.

An example of such a branded technique in Evil Witchcraft was the ‘Ghost Eye’. Its advantage was in quick casting, without needing to find materials on the spot.

The disadvantage was that the process was complicated, consuming time and materials.

Link would not give up the ‘Construction’ system to solely study the ‘Totem’ in Ancient Witchcraft or Evil Witchcraft.

He just clearly determined that after people in this world are implanted with ‘Construction’, many problems would be solved.

Besides, now that he had grasped the ‘Witch Master’s tail, he could just dig it out.

There was no need to waste any more time.

He closed the heavy book, hid it well, and left his bedroom.

“Brother, I have some matters to attend to and need to be away for a while.”

Finding Brother Shi, Link directly expressed his intentions, “I might need to hide my tracks during this time. So, if you do not hear about me for a while, please don’t worry.”

“Alright, take care.”

Brother Shi neither stopped him nor said much.

He didn’t seem in good spirits, looking languid.

Link smiled, turned and walked towards the exit of the martial arts school, sending a joking secret message:

“Second Young Miss Hu is quite good, Brother, keep up the efforts.”
