Divine Level Witch Doctor

After experiencing the wonders of Qi, Zhao Yuan couldn’t wait to see what he had gained from ascending to the Qi Listening Realm.

”This is a major realm advancement! The Information Leaf is definitely going to give me a lot of new goodies!”

Filled with anticipation, Zhao Yuan opened the Information Leaf and muttered under his breath, ”You’d better give me lots of good stuff, or I swear I’ll squat down and draw circles to curse you!”

This was, of course, just a joke, but Zeng Rui and the Bone Woman, who were standing nearby, couldn’t help but roll their eyes when they heard him. Xiaoyang, however, just scratched his head and said with a baffled look, ”Who is Master trying to curse? There’s no one else here but us. Could it be us? Did we do something wrong to make Master unhappy?”

The Bone Woman glanced at him and snorted coldly. ”A Spirit Monster is a Spirit Monster. Not very bright, just a big oaf.”

Luckily, Xiaoyang didn’t hear that, or he would have definitely started a fight with her.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan had already opened the Information Leaf and begun to search through it.

Under the medical section, the medical books were the same as before, with no changes. This was what Zhao Yuan had expected. He knew that updates to the medical books didn’t have much to do with his Cultivation level but were instead linked to his learning progress.

However, just as he was about to leave this section, he suddenly discovered that in the Medical Skill branch, both the Qi Observation Technique and the Truth Recognition Technique had been upgraded!

The upgraded Qi Observation Technique could not only observe the changes in a living person’s condition but could also perceive the pathological changes and life-or-death status of Ghosts and Gods!

As for the Truth Recognition Technique, while it didn’t gain such a miraculous function, its clarity and accuracy had increased manifold!

According to the description, in a quiet environment, Zhao Yuan could use the Truth Recognition Technique to even hear and smell the sounds and scents of a person’s internal organs and the flow of their Qi and Blood. This would allow him to grasp the changes in a disease with even greater precision!

In addition to the two upgraded Medical Skills, Zhao Yuan also saw a new one here: the Pulse Diagnosis Technique.

Although Zhao Yuan had previously learned the suspended silk pulse diagnosis technique, that skill was only considered a minor branch of the overall Pulse Diagnosis Technique.

Zhao Yuan looked at the description closely. This Pulse Diagnosis Technique would give him an extremely precise grasp of the changes in a patient’s pulse. Even without the help of the Body Pearl, he could clearly perceive the most subtle variations in the pulse!

Furthermore, after this Medical Skill was upgraded, it would allow him to use Pulse Diagnosis to perceive the local pulse conditions of the internal organs, enabling him to diagnose illnesses with even greater accuracy.

’I originally thought there wouldn’t be any gains under the medical section, but I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise! I hope this is a good start and that I’ll get more and better things next!’

Zhao Yuan took a deep breath, exited the medical section, and opened the Cultivation Technique tab.

As his gaze swept over it, he burst out laughing with excitement. ”Haha, there really are new Cultivation Techniques! I knew the Information Leaf wouldn’t disappoint me!”

Not only were there new things in the Cultivation Technique section, but two had appeared at once!

One was a Heart Method—the Jingtun Technique!

From the description, the biggest difference between this Heart Method and the Four Saints Technique and Creation Technique that Zhao Yuan had previously learned was its ability to absorb Qi from the world in a ”whale-swallowing” manner. It would then convert this Qi into his own energy to strengthen his muscles, bones, Qi and Blood, as well as his internal organs and meridians.

The other was a martial art style—the Soft Cloud Palm.

Unlike the hard and fierce style of the Mountain-Breaking Fist, this Palm Technique followed the path of using softness to overcome hardness, like a needle hidden in cotton. But strangely, although it and the Mountain-Breaking Fist represented the two extremes of ferocity and yielding softness, their compatibility was incredibly high. They could be seamlessly linked and switched at will. In other words, when fighting, Zhao Yuan could alternate between ferocious power and yielding softness, guaranteed to leave his enemies flustered and unable to cope!

Moreover, the current Zhao Yuan could now freely activate and use Qi! When this energy was added to the two martial art styles, the increase in power would be far more than just double or triple!

Although he was itching to practice the Jingtun Technique and Soft Cloud Palm right away, Zhao Yuan ultimately held back, deciding to finish reading about the new items on the Information Leaf first.

Next, he opened the Magic and Talisman section.

In the Talisman branch, it was still the same few items as before. No new Talismans had appeared, which left Zhao Yuan a little disappointed.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset and consoled himself, ’It’s fine. Tomorrow I’ll apply for a secondary account on the Cultivator Forum and level it up quickly. As long as I can get into the forum’s Scripture Pavilion and Dao Discussion sections, what’s to fear about not learning new Talismans?’

Immediately, he turned his attention to the Magic branch.

This time, the Information Leaf did not disappoint. Not only were there new things in the Magic branch, but there was more than one!

Zhao Yuan looked at them one by one.

Purifying Heart Spell: Can cleanse a person’s mind and spirit, helping them recover from negative states.

Fortune-Turning Technique: Can change a person’s fortune. Whether it’s for better or worse depends entirely on a single thought from the caster.

’This Purifying Heart Spell is a bit like hypnotherapy, only its effects are much better. I guess it will only be useful for treating mental illnesses. Other than that, there won’t be many chances to use it!’

’As for the Fortune-Turning Technique, it doesn’t seem very useful either, and its Qi consumption is huge. With my current Cultivation, using it just once would drain seventy to eighty percent of the Qi in my body. It would take at least a day or two of rest to recover.’

Zhao Yuan was very disappointed. He felt that these two Magic techniques weren’t all that great—pretty much useless, in fact.

Fortunately, after those two, there was another new Magic technique—Thunder Aura.

The description for this technique was very short. Zhao Yuan read it aloud: ”Allows lightning to appear on the body, to be used as one’s own... Hmm, no wonder it’s called Thunder Aura. It’s a bit similar to Sword Aura. I just wonder how powerful this Thunder Aura is. If I could unleash a bolt of lightning with a wave of my hand, that would be amazing!”

Zhao Yuan was fascinated by the Thunder Aura. Unable to hold back any longer, he decided to follow the method taught by the Information Leaf and give it a try to see how it worked.

After several failures, Zhao Yuan finally grasped the method and successfully cast Thunder Aura.

A cluster of flickering lightning appeared on his right hand, but it was pitifully small. Forget throwing a bolt of lightning; it couldn’t even cover his entire fist. It could only flicker across his index and middle fingers.

”This is Thunder Aura? It’s so small and weak, isn’t it?” Zhao Yuan smiled wryly, incredibly disappointed.

’I remember that expert from the Ant Thieves. His Sword Aura was over half a meter long! And my Thunder Aura? It can only wrap around my fingers. The comparison is just pathetic!’

’What good is this tiny bit of lightning? Am I supposed to poke people with an electrified finger during a fight? That’s just too lame!’
