Chapter 4, Transactions

Ji Hao's mother, Qing Fu, is not only the most talented shaman of the Qing Yi tribe but is also renowned as the most beautiful woman of the tribe in the past century

Shaking his head, Ji Hao walked into the wooden cabin

At this point, Ji Xia could not help but burst into laughter

This cursed place is far from a peaceful world... This territory is one that devours people. Over the years, Ji Hao has witnessed the tragic fates of the children from tribes annihilated by enemies. The current Ji Hao does not possess sufficient strength to withstand the dangers from the outside world

The night falls over the southern wilderness

A copper-skinned wild bear, over five zhang in length and covered in red fur, lazily lay at the entrance of the wooden cabin, and Ji Hao happened to land on the bear's soft belly. The large bear, comfortably snoring, opened one eye and gently patted Ji Hao with its hefty paw.

Qing Fuxin looked at Ji Hao with relief, lowered her head, and gently said: "Hmm, this way Amu can rest assured. Do not be like your father, always thinking about maintaining the overall situation of the tribe, always wanting to avoid conflict... This is the Southern Wilderness, if one does not act ruthlessly, how can one survive here?"

Once a stunning beauty, now she appears somewhat haggard. Qingfu is no more than thirty years old, yet her temples are already streaked with gray, and her beautifully contoured lips show no trace of color. Like the emaciated Jixia, Qingfu is also severely withered.

Ji Hao sat on the roof of his home, quietly gazing at the enchanting night sky. His ten fingers rested on his abdomen, continuously changing hand seals, drawing the star power into himself. His slender body emitted a faint glow, as if merging with the myriad stars in the sky

Ji Xia walked into the wooden house carrying a large piece of beast meat. He glanced at Qing Fu and said with a smile, "What is there to discuss with He Hao? At the ancestral worship ceremony, it is not necessarily the case that I will lose to that kid Ji Shu. If he wants to become the warrior leader of our Fire Crow tribe, heh heh, it won't be that easy."

The fine herbal residue within the medicinal paste gradually dissipated in the blue smoke, causing the paste to become increasingly clear and pure, while also becoming thick and potent. Under the continuous grinding of the blue fu, it slowly transformed into a medicinal ointment with a texture akin to that of beautiful jade

Little one, trade with me, you will definitely not suffer any loss, nor will you regret it

Within the purple mansion at the center of the eyebrows, in the vast and boundless space of the divine soul, a mist-like purple mansion primordial dan is slowly rotating

Ten years ago, at the peak of his power, Ji Xia was not at all a match for Ji Shu

At the top of Jinwu Ridge, hundreds of enormous fire crows stand in a line at the edge of the cliff on the giant blue mulberry trees, silently swallowing and expelling the energy from the starlight with their wide-open beaks. Jinwu Ridge is shrouded in a thick layer of red starlight, and above several giant blue mulberry trees, the fiery red starlight transforms into a massive vortex, with boundless stellar energy continuously pouring into the giant trees.

The bear, in a deep slumber, swallowed the fruit in one bite, too lazy to even chew it.

Ji Hao lowered his head, quietly listening to Qing Fu's admonition: "If your father is killed by Ji Shu, I will die alongside him. You should leave the tribe, wait until you become stronger, and then kill Ji Shu's entire family to avenge your father and mother"

Carefully grinding the ointment, Qing Fu raised her eyes and chuckled, "Hao, you are quite impressive today, aren't you? Did you defeat Ji Shu's son?"

With Ji Hao's call, a mass of white mist surged out of the vast and boundless spiritual space, condensing into a white disc before Ji Hao.

Ji Hao fell silent, extending his arms to embrace Qing Fu briefly. He then ascended the stairs and arrived at his own room.

Even Ji Xia, although aware that Ji Hao is a genius, does not believe that Ji Hao has much hope of becoming the exalted Witch King. Ji Hao indeed possesses exceptional talent, but he is currently merely a minor third-level witch, having yet to reach the realm of a minor witch. After breaking through the minor witch realm, there lies the even more challenging major witch realm. Only after surpassing the major witch realm can one become a Witch King capable of soaring through the skies and traversing the seas.

In the midst of laughter and conversation, a sudden and terrifying chill flashed across Ji Hao's body

Dressed in a long linen skirt, Qingfu sat in the corner of the wooden cabin, holding a jade pestle in both hands, carefully grinding a lump of emerald-green medicinal paste in the mortar. Delicate green smoke spiraled down from her slender fingers, continuously merging into the medicinal paste.

Ji Hao scratched his head and smiled at Qing Fu, saying: "I only took a small advantage; he actually didn't get hurt. Well, in a fair and square confrontation, I can't defeat him. However, if we enter the mountains and forests, I can make him die a thousand times."

The "Nine Character Mantra Alchemy Scripture" originates from the secret method of the Nine Character Mantra, capable of unlocking the deepest potential of the human body and communicating with the ultimate mysteries of the universe, leading directly to the sublime state of unity between heaven and humanity. From the moment of birth, Ji Hao has been diligently practicing the Alchemy Scripture, enduring nearly ten years of rigorous training, and has achieved a modest level of success in the scripture.

Oh—" lazily responded, as Ji Hao gracefully descended from the rooftop, retracting the seal of the Danjing.

"Hao, come back and sleep! Every night you just stare at the sky, do you really want to fly up there?" Ji Xia's warm voice echoed in the courtyard: "If you want to fly to the sky, it's not difficult. Once you cultivate to become a Witch King, you will be able to soar through the heavens and traverse the earth!"

Everyone knows that the Fire Crow Tribe has not seen a shaman king-level powerhouse for several thousand years. Originally, the Fire Crow Tribe could stand on equal footing with the Bi Fang Tribe and the Zhu Que Tribe, but due to the lack of a shaman king-level stronghold, it has now fallen to become a subordinate tribe of the Bi Fang Tribe

He closed the door and opened the tightly shut window, allowing the starlight to flood into the room. Ji Hao lay on a large, heavy lion skin, closing his eyes. His soul power, a hundred times stronger than that of his peers, surged towards the Niwan Palace, and Ji Hao entered his own spiritual space.

Even if I cannot be of much help to Ji Xia, I must quickly enhance my own strength and do everything possible to cope with any potential changes in the future

Amu! Ji Hao sat quietly in front of Qing Fu, gazing at his mother.

A towering figure, seated cross-legged on a jade disc, gazes down upon Ji Hao from a position of superiority

A peculiar fragrance wafted through the air, and the ointment in the mortar had already taken shape. Qingfu picked up the ointment and slowly formed it into twelve thumb-sized green pills, carefully placing them into a jade bottle.

The sky is adorned with brilliant stars, and the limits of the horizon are filled with stars the size of fists, shining brightly. The colorful starlight condenses into visible mist, slowly descending from the heights, nourishing all things in the universe.

However, the current Ji Xia, having suffered a significant reduction in strength due to the breach of his witch's cave, is very likely, as mentioned by Ji Shu and his group, to have fallen from the Great Witch realm to the Lesser Witch realm. In the face of the aggressive Ji Shu and others, can Ji Xia hold on? Can Qing Fu endure? Without their protection, how long can he sustain his own life?

Hao, you must remember the stories that Amu told you when you were young. Our Qingyi tribe was once a very powerful tribe from a far eastern place. However, due to the naivety of an old grandmother, our entire Qingyi tribe nearly faced extermination, and we barely managed to escape to the Southern Wilderness. Qingfu's phoenix eyes flickered with a cold light as she said softly, "In the ancestral worship ceremony half a month from now, it would be fortunate if your father survives; if he dies..."

Qing Fu is not a member of the Fire Crow tribe; she hails from a small tribe called Qing Yi, which is subordinate to the Fire Crow tribe in the East. The women of this tribe are all born shamans, particularly skilled in identifying and concocting various medicines

Power must be acquired as quickly as possible in order to become stronger

The ancestral worship ceremony held once every ten years is attended by the leaders of all tribes of the Fire Crow clan at the sacred site of Jinwu Ridge, which also serves as the sole opportunity for the high-level power transition within the entire Fire Crow clan

Hello, old man, I have arrived. I have accepted the deal you proposed. In exchange for your so-called method of patching the sky, I want my Nine-Character True Word Dan Sutra. By the way, do not forget the benefits you promised me.

The women of the Fire Crow tribe are as tall and robust as the men, a group of fierce beings capable of battling various ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests with their long spears and large axes. In contrast, the women of the Qingyi tribe are all delicate and tall, with skin as white as snow and faces as beautiful as paintings

"Fatty, sooner or later you will become so fat that you won't be able to walk, and then you won't be able to be Father’s mount anymore." Ji Hao kicked the big bear's head, and the fat bear simply covered its face with its hands, adopting a posture of letting you trample on it while it just snoozed away.

Ji Hao took out a fruit, pried open the mouth of the wild bear, and stuffed it inside
