BECOMING A WIZARD BY STARTING FROM THE MIND CLOSURE TECHNIQUE

Chapter 745: Chapter 224: Evil Witch_1

“Hehe…”

Upon hearing this, Link couldn’t help but let out a scornful laugh.

Evil paths, they are indeed evil paths.

When they need something, they never think about cultivating it themselves, but rather resort to plundering from others.

Through the oscillation of spiritual power, Link could confirm that Yun Xinying wasn’t lying, and he could even determine whether she was withholding any key information.

Therefore, it could be assured that everything Yun Xinying had just told was nothing but the truth.

Once he understood her and her organization’s motives, Link continued his interrogation, “What’s the name of your organization? What are your strongholds in the provincial city? What practices do you follow? Tell me everything.”

“I can tell you all of this, but only under one condition.”

Yun Xinying turned her head to look into Link’s eyes, her own eyes displaying a steadfast determination.

“Go ahead.”

Link smiled, finding it quite interesting.

Yun Xinying spoke earnestly, “I don’t beg you to let me go, I just ask for a quick death, to not have to suffer torment.”

“Granted.”

Link gave an immediate affirmative response.

“Good, I hope you will keep your word.”

Yun Xinying took a deep breath and said, “Our organization is called Witch Charm. We practice Ancient Witchcraft and operate like phantoms. There aren’t many of our strongholds in the provincial city, only three. One is the mansion where I lived, one is the Wishful Gambling House, and one is the Lotus Heart Boat. As for our practices, we do not practice Human Immortal Martial Path, nor Mechanical Martial Arts, we practice the Way of Witchcraft. Witchcraft specializes in ‘spirits’, emphasizing that all things in the universe possess a spirit as a core philosophy, utilizing spirits for cultivation and casting spells.”

She paused for a moment, then spoke somewhat expectantly, “If you want, I can tell you the complete technique. I can even explain the way to practice it, how to cast spells.”

“Proceed.”

Link nodded his head.

Yun Xinying then recited a practice method of ancient witchcraft that was only around four hundred characters long, filled with complex and difficult words, and explained a few simple techniques for beginners.

After carefully listening, Link instantly grasped the true essence of the practice but didn’t actually try it.

Even if his Sea of Consciousness was locked and his knowledge sealed, Link could still discern that this ancient witchcraft practice was extremely inferior.

Adhering to this practice would produce an end result of not resembling either a human or a ghost, one would become a hybrid.

However, the few techniques explained by Yun Xinying did arouse Link’s interest.

Especially the technique Link named ‘Monitoring Eye’.

“Wow, your organization is really impressive!”

After hearing the detailed explanation about the crafting method of the technique named “Ghost Eye” by the Witch Charm organization, Link couldn’t help but express his admiration.

This “Ghost Eye” method required the eyes of two pregnant mountain goat mothers, crushed into a potion; the eyes of seven pairs of girls born at Yin Year, Yin Month, Yin Day, Yin Time, also crushed into a potion; the eyes of seven pairs of boys born at Yang Year, Yang Month, Yang Day, Yang Time, again crushed to form another potion; finally, these three potions were mixed at the exact moment of midnight on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month to form one, three drops of heart’s blood were then added, stirred well, and with this as an ink, a vertical eye was drawn on the left palm and chanted over for seven days.

As the technique was completed on the day of the Ghost Festival, with the chanting moment filled with ghostly aura, it was called “Ghost Eye”.

But what interested Link wasn’t the “Ghost Eye” technique itself.

It was the crafting process.

Just as the “Ghost Eye” monitoring him last night led him to understand the method of remote, multitasking surveillance, the crafting process also provided Link with a profound touch.

A concept named “Construction” burst through the blockade, popped into his mind.

Then came the pure “Construction” system content, completely stripped of any related witchcraft knowledge.

The flood of complex information from this sudden breakthrough momentarily distracted Link, leaving him standing in place stupefied.

Yun Xinying, who had never given up on escaping and was only buying time by cooperating and telling the truth to decrease her torment, seized this opportunity. She had no time to consider whether this was a trap or not, hurriedly using her recovered strength to forcefully expel the silver needles that had been inserted into her acupoints.

This process of forcing out the needles was extremely painful.

Yun Xinying clamped her jaw tight, refusing to utter even the slightest sound.

Once her power of mind was still slow but could barely be used, she hypnotized herself to ignore the bodily pain, forcing her dislocated joints back into place with loud snaps, regaining her ability to move.

Casting a resentful glance at Link, whose eyes were lifeless and who was standing still without displaying any reaction or movement due to an unknown reason, Yun Xinying, who had not yet recovered much of her strength, could only reluctantly retreat.

She didn’t attempt to finish off Link.

“You’ll pay for this!”

Having escaped from the basement of the haunted house, Yun Xinying didn’t dare to stop nor look back. She could only grit her teeth and utter that bitter threat, stumbling away as fast as she could.

Back in the basement.

Link quickly regained his senses.

Originally, he had planned to find a chance to let Yun Xinying escape in order to track her back to the bigger fish.

It seemed perfect to execute this ‘feigned concession for a better capture’ plan when his pure “Construction” system knowledge kicked in.

“Think you can escape?”

By sensing the spiritual power mark left in Yun Xinying’s body, Link was not at all worried about her escaping from his clutches.

Link stood up, scanned the basement, and confirmed that there was nothing more that needed investigation. He then extinguished the torch, left the haunted house, and returned to the Martial Arts School.

At this moment, issues like Li Sisi’s early love affair, Yun Xinying, the mole in the Martial Arts School, the schemes of Witch Charm were no longer important.

The most important thing was the pure “Construction” system knowledge that had been unlocked in his mind.

After stripping away any related witchcraft content, the “Construction” system could be considered as a separate academic discipline, or a type of superpower.
