I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 132 - 1: The Path to the Heavens (1/3)

Time flies like an arrow; the years like a shuttle.

Just in an unintentional moment of distraction, another month has passed.

During this month, Xiao Yue successfully healed his injuries.

And, quite awkwardly, he proactively offered to help Li Family Village repair the green brick road that he had previously damaged.

Until today, the road was repaired.

Xiao Yue also planned to formally bid farewell to Li Boyang and return to Great Xia.

After all, although he successfully shed the identity of "Witch King Incarnation" with Li Boyang's help, he felt an innate sense of belonging to Great Xia and the Witch King.

However, before leaving, Xiao Yue hesitantly asked Li Jingshu if she would like to go to Great Xia with him.

To be honest, Xiao Yue's affection for Li Jingshu is visibly evident.

Even after Li Jingshu clearly expressed her refusal, Xiao Yue still taught her some basic witchcraft and combat techniques.

In Xiao Yue's own words, this girl is just too suitable to inherit the teachings of his lineage.

Exceptional to the point of inhuman physical fitness, far exceeding the wit of ordinary mountain people...

Combined with her cunning yet steadfast character, she is simply the perfect disciple Xiao Yue has dreamed of.

Unfortunately, Li Jingshu was not impressed at all by this.

In Li Jingshu's view, Xiao Yue was defeated by her younger brother and has no qualifications to be her mentor.

Fortunately, although Li Jingshu didn't think Xiao Yue was qualified to be her mentor, she wasn't foolish enough to reject his goodwill outright.

The witchcraft and combat techniques taught by him, Li Jingshu accepted almost entirely.

Especially those magical witchcrafts.

The talent and eagerness to learn that Li Jingshu showed made Xiao Yue shake his head in regret once more.

Xiao Yue is utterly confident that if Li Jingshu is willing to go back to Great Xia with him, his Great Witch would definitely take her personally as an apprentice.

Ordinary witchcraft is learned easily, and slightly more difficult witchcraft curses are nothing for her...

As for combat techniques?

Li Boyang may have never taught Li Jingshu specific combat methods.

But the foundation and physical fitness Li Boyang laid for Li Jingshu enabled her to easily master various challenging combat techniques and styles.

"Do you really not want to go to Great Xia with me?"

Standing at the village entrance of Li Family Village, Xiao Yue, about to depart, couldn't help but ask for the last time.

"No, Great Xia is your home, and this is my home."

Standing beside her mother, Li Jingshu's answer was as firm as ever.

It was Li Jingshu's mother, instead, who opened her mouth as if wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing.

"Hoping one's child will succeed" is the greatest wish of parents in any era.

Watching her daughter repeatedly refuse a promising invitation...

If there was absolutely no emotional fluctuation in Li Jingshu's mother's heart, that would be impossible.

But at the thought of Li Boyang's presence, Li Jingshu's mother wisely remained silent.

"Well, you're right, this is your home after all."

"But my invitation remains open..."

"If you ever want to explore the outside world, you can find me at Shiniu in Great Xia."

Laughing, Xiao Yue rubbed Li Jingshu's head, leaving her with that line under the scrutinizing gaze of Li Jingshu.

"Also, your little brother is actually right..."

"Witchcraft and witchcraft curses are ultimately minor paths and should be used sparingly."

"Especially those poisonous curses that require a price to pay; avoid using them unless absolutely necessary."

"No, it's better to learn more of those spells and divine powers from your little brother! That's the grand path you should walk."

Hearing Xiao Yue's lecture, Li Jingshu couldn't help but mutter softly.

"You didn't teach me any powerful witchcraft curses anyway..."

Li Jingshu was quite interested in witchcraft curses.

But unfortunately, Xiao Yue himself wasn't from an orthodox lineage of Witch, having learned only some self-enhancing and auxiliary witchcraft curses.

"Haha, that's true, considering I only learned a bit of witchcraft curses for self-protection after becoming Minister of Justice!"

Finally laughing and waving goodbye to Li Jingshu and her mother, Xiao Yue unhesitatingly turned around and spread his wings.

Using the flying technique he learned in the past month, he gracefully left this secluded paradise.

...........................

"Are you really going to just let that 'Xiao Yue' leave?"

Lying on a bamboo chair on the side, yawning constantly, Xiluo observed the farewell scene through the perspective of the village entrance's deity statue.

"How could you call it letting go?"

Hearing this, Li Boyang replied without even lifting his head.

"He's a person, not a dog..."

"If he wants to leave here, could I possibly chain him up and keep him?"

Gently licking her paw, Xiluo rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"You know that's not what I mean..."

Realizing Li Boyang was feigning ignorance, Xiluo quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, those combat techniques are one thing."

"But you really let that girl learn witchcraft from that half-baked Xiao Yue?"

"As far as I know, witchcraft doesn't just heavily depend on talent. Learning it improperly can leave various lingering aftereffects."

"Things like premature aging, bloodlust, rage, or even missing limbs are not uncommon."

At this point, Xiluo's voice paused slightly.

"If that girl really wants to learn these things, she'd be better off being my priest..."

"At least my 'Prayer Technique' doesn't have all those messy side effects; she just needs to learn to keep me happy."

The "Prayer Technique" is the power bestowed by the Gods to priests, its source coming from the Gods themselves.

Theoretically, as long as it's not from some messy Evil God, or there's no excessive use of divine power, there should essentially be no irreparable aftereffects.

At most, her appearance might transform a bit, becoming more like the God she believes in.

To some degree, this is also a major reason why Li Boyang, with his red-hued hair and skin, is regarded as the "Son of the Mountain God."

Without knowing the details beforehand, anyone would think Xiluo favored Li Boyang to grant him such striking characteristics at a young age.

"Once you understand the essence of 'witchcraft,' it's actually not as difficult to learn as you may think."

Finally putting down the task at hand, Li Boyang rarely looked up to speak.

"Besides, after undergoing the 'Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment,' her meridians are clear, her body strong, and her Life Essence Qi is full to the point of overflowing, making her practically a natural sacred body for learning witchcraft."

"If learning it comes at a cost even for her, it would only indicate a significant flaw in that witchcraft itself."

"I trust Xiao Yue's judgment at least this much; he surely wouldn't teach her witchcraft with major flaws."

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Xiluo only then relaxed completely.

"So you had everything planned out already?"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worried this much!"

Retracting her thoughts from the deity statue at Li Family Village's entrance, Xiluo rolled her eyes again.

"So, what exactly are you doing now?"

"You've been busy for a month, still tinkering with these useless bamboos?"
