Chapter 2464: Chapter 2465: The Differences Between Witchcraft and Cultivation
Sure, here is the translated text:
The middle-aged woman is the Clan Leader of the Mengzhu Tribe, named Mengzhu Feifeng.
Beside her stands an impressive young woman, the High Priest of the Mengzhu Tribe, MengZhu Mei.
Following them are numerous elders of the Mengzhu Tribe, mostly women, with only a few men among them, and all high-ranking positions are occupied by females.
This shows that the Mengzhu Tribe is a matriarchal society.
Interesting!
Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking silently.
At this moment, the High Priest MengZhu Mei noticed Xue An and Yue Qinghuan.
To her, the white-clothed young man standing in front exudes an aura as profound and unfathomable as the Bottomless Abyss.
Even she couldn’t help feeling secretly amazed.
"Who are these two...?" MengZhu Mei couldn’t help but ask.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce them. This is Mr. Xue, who saved me from the Hegemon-Wu Tribe!"
"So, the savior of the Holy Maiden, the Mengzhu Tribe is truly grateful!" Mengzhu Feifeng immediately cupped her hands in salute.
Xue An responded with a faint smile, "No need for formalities, it was merely a chance encounter, nothing special!"
Without speaking, MengZhu Mei gazed deeply at Xue An, seemingly wanting to uncover something beneath his calm exterior.
Meanwhile, Mengzhu Nasa briefly recounted the events, then said with a serious face.
"Clan Leader, High Priest, the Hegemon-Wu Tribe’s sudden rebellion must have a reason behind it, we must strengthen our defenses and take it seriously."
Clan Leader Mengzhu Feifeng nodded.
"Indeed, we received news of the Hegemon-Wu’s rebellion days ago; this tribe, after failing to ambush you, launched successive attacks, destroying several small tribes, causing great casualties."
"Yes!" MengZhu Mei withdrew her gaze from Xue An, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke.
"Upon receiving the news, I ordered all members to return and closed the city gates to strengthen defenses, and dispatched Squadron Leader Mengzhu Xiong to search for you! It’s fortunate that you’ve returned safely, we owe our thanks to the Moon Mother!"
Hearing the name Mengzhu Xiong, a strange expression flashed in Mengzhu Nasa’s eyes.
A mixture of gratitude and more so, detachment.
This expression was fleeting, unnoticed by others but keenly detected by Xue An.
"Alright, in any case, Nasha’s safe return is a great joy, send the command to Mengzhu Xiong to cease the search and return immediately!"
"Yes!" Someone acknowledged and left.
Mengzhu Nasa spoke a few more words to the Clan Leader and High Priest before approaching Xue An.
"Mr. Xue, I need to excuse myself for now, someone will lead you to rest, I’ll visit you at dusk."
Xue An smiled faintly, "No need to worry about me, please go ahead!"
Mengzhu Nasa gave a deep bow before turning and leaving with Mengzhu Feifeng and High Priest MengZhu Mei.
Watching their three figures depart, Xue An seemed lost in thought.
"Still watching them even as they walk away?" Yue Qinghuan teased.
Xue An gathered his gaze and glanced at Yue Qinghuan.
"What? Did I say something wrong? It seems the Holy Maiden of the Jingman Clan really treats you well, even specially came to bid farewell!" Yue Qinghuan pouted.
Looking at the awkward Yue Qinghuan, Xue An suddenly smiled.
"What does that have to do with you?"
His words left Yue Qinghuan speechless.
Just then, some tribespeople of the Mengzhu Tribe approached.
"Honored guests, please follow me!"
Xue An nodded and began to walk.
Yue Qinghuan stomped in frustration, then followed after with a sigh, muttering under her breath.
"Bastard! I don’t believe your wife wouldn’t be angry seeing you like this in the spiritual sea!"
As the guests who saved the Holy Maiden, the Mengzhu Tribe certainly treated them with utmost respect.
A spacious, bright room, brand-new bedding, and various rare wild fruits exuding a faint fragrance.
The sheer details show the high level of hospitality the Mengzhu Tribe provided them.
Xue An sat down directly and picked up a spiritual fruit, comfortably enjoying it.
Yue Qinghuan didn’t eat; she sat across the table, silently watching Xue An.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Speaking, Xue An tossed aside the fruit core, which quickly took root, sprouted, and within moments grew into a spiritual fruit tree.
The tree swayed, extending a branch towards Xue An; a strange flower slowly bloomed at the branch tip, then quickly wilted and bore fruit.
In the blink of an eye, a spiritual fruit dropped before Xue An.
The tree rapidly withered and vanished.
Yue Qinghuan raised an eyebrow, "What’s this? A magic trick?"
Xue An chuckled lightly, "Of course not, it’s just a small witchcraft spell!"
"Witchcraft?"
Yue Qinghuan seemed puzzled, then bit into the spiritual fruit from the table.
"Pfft, pfft, what is this? It’s so hard to eat!"
Yue Qinghuan spat out the pulp, grimacing.
Xue An laughed heartily, "I told you it’s witchcraft, didn’t you believe me?"
But Yue Qinghuan suddenly looked at Xue An thoughtfully.
"How did you learn witchcraft all of a sudden?"
"Actually, it’s simple, witchcraft is nothing more than four words!"
"What four words?"
"Equivalent exchange!" Xue An stated calmly.
"Equivalent exchange?"
"Yes! Unlike cultivation, witchcraft doesn’t require high talent or deep cultivation level; it relies on a method of exchange to achieve your purpose!"
Yue Qinghuan looked puzzled.
Xue An grabbed another fruit, eating as he explained.
"In simple terms, cultivation is like building a house yourself, doing everything personally, while witchcraft is like paying someone to build the house for you, achieving the same result without working yourself, but paying with gold coins!"
Yue Qinghuan finally understood, but still couldn’t help asking, "Since it’s equivalent exchange, how is it done, and who do you exchange with?"
"Good question!"
Xue An discarded another fruit core, but this time, instead of a tree, it transformed into a little man with complete features, who ran around the table jabbering, then bowed to Xue An before scampering out the window.
Yue Qinghuan appeared stunned.
The tricks Xue An displayed, she could easily perform, only clever utilization of Spiritual Energy.
