Chapter 532 Stone Pillar
Just in time to see the king grab the three spiritual herbs, he shouted, bent down and opened his hands, and rushed towards the king. The king was agile, and he turned around and ran out of the house, squeezed out from the crack of the door, and plunged his head into the arms of Gu Shiyi who came in to help. Gu Shiyi caught it, and a red shadow rushed out after it...

"Bang..."

The boy kicked the door open and rushed out. He saw Gu Shiyi at the first sight, and ran towards him with a loud shout, still yelling something. Gu Shiyi was just about to teach the boy a lesson, but seeing him running towards him without any plan, he kicked the boy in the chest, and the boy flew back in a spin.
"boom……"

With a loud bang, he rushed back into the house, breaking countless things in the house!

Gu Shiyi also knew her limits. If this person was a cultivator or a wizard, she would probably have to beat him up. But this person was just an ordinary person, a boy at that. She couldn't argue with him. She just wanted to give him a kick and let him get hurt a little, but it wouldn't kill him!
He then turned around and left with the king and the fox. With such a big commotion, everyone in this small village had been alarmed. The lights in every household were turned on. Gu Shiyi gathered up a gust of evil wind and flew into the air, looking down at the village.

These barbarian villagers rushed out of the house, and they did not look for anyone, but ran to the open field one by one, and then knelt down in front of the stone pillar, kowtowed and said something inaudible. At first, the stone pillar did not move, but later, when almost all the villagers gathered and kowtowed, the stone pillar suddenly responded.
"Hiss..."

That sound was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. On the surface of the stone pillar, a ray of green light flowed from the root along the texture of the runes. After almost a few breaths, the runes on the entire stone pillar lit up, and soon illuminated the faces of the villagers kneeling below. The boy who stole the spiritual herb was among them. He was kicked by Gu Shiyi, but he was not hurt at all. At this time, he was holding the small statue hanging on his chest and shouting something at the stone pillar. During this time, he pointed outside the village, and saw that the statue in his hand also turned green, and after echoing with the big stone pillar,

"hiss……"

The top of the stone pillar suddenly shot out a green light towards the sky. The light circled in the air and headed towards Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi was surprised when he saw this.

“Is this how this thing is used?”

In a flash, the green light was in front of her. There was still no spiritual fluctuation, but it carried a strange power, and the breath was cold and violent. Gu Shiyi frowned tightly. She was of the blood of a true dragon, and she didn't like this kind of power that obviously carried a filthy and dark aura, so she punched it.

"boom……"

The green light was shattered by her punch, and turned into green light spots scattered all over the sky. The cold aura disappeared immediately, and the barbarians in the village below exclaimed in unison when they saw this.

"Witch God!"

Everyone looked at Gu Shiyi standing in the air with panic. Gu Shiyi looked at the boy with a look of fear and resentment.
"call……"

She threw a punch in the air, and wherever the punch went, the barbarian boy flew out and hit the stone pillar behind him heavily.
"Wow……"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Gu Shiyi nodded in satisfaction. She had added some magical power to this punch. She pointed at the boy and shouted,

"Boy, you stole my spiritual herbs, so this punch is a punishment. I won't bother with you today, but if you don't restrain yourself in the future, watch out for your life!"

After saying that, he turned around and turned into a black evil wind, rolling towards the sky...

The remaining villagers turned to look at the half-grown boy. Some were puzzled, some were bewildered, but some understood what the woman in the air said and pointed at the boy and said,

"Yali, you stole other people's things and brought trouble back to the village!"

Although these barbarians are barbaric, no one likes stealing, especially in a civilized place like this, isolated from the world, surrounded by fellow villagers. The most annoying thing is people with dirty hands and feet. Someone pointed it out, and everyone in the village frowned. The young man struggled to get up and shouted hoarsely,

"Nonsense! You actually believed what those human cultivators said. The spiritual herbs were clearly picked by me. She broke into the village and stole them. They are mine! They are mine!"

After he said this, some people expressed doubts again. After all, this person was from the same village, and the woman in the air was from an outsider. Just based on her words, they concluded that the theft was committed by a fellow villager?

While the little boy was yelling in front of the villagers, Gu Shiyi had already returned to his cave. After returning, he discussed with the fox and the king.
"Now that the spiritual herb has been discovered, even though it's a barbarian, there's no guarantee that other people won't know about it. If they come to bother me every day, wouldn't I be extremely annoyed?"

So the three of them packed up and went to Fushan Town at dawn. At this time, Fushan Town was already full of cultivators. Many people occupied the place, built yards, and rented them out at high prices. Gu Shiyi held the 90,000 spirit stones he had just obtained in his hand, but when he asked about the price, he still felt pain in his heart, "When did the prices on this continent rise to this level?"

A small courtyard costs a thousand spirit stones a month?
"My fellow Taoist, please don't think it's too expensive. This is the only room I have now. The conference will start in ten days. By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a nice courtyard to live in at this price!"

The person who spoke was a thin monk with a mustache on his upper lip and a pair of rat eyes. For some reason, he reminded Gu Shiyi of the two masters of the Baekje Sect.

"Besides, this courtyard is not only comfortably furnished but also has an excellent geographical location. We have also set up a high-level magic array inside. As long as you enter and activate the magic array, you can practice alchemy and meditate inside without being disturbed. This magic array is made by a contemporary master, Gong Santai!"

Gu Shiyi was attracted by the fact that this magic array could conceal the spiritual fluctuations of the spiritual herbs, so he argued with the man for a long time, but the other party was unwilling to give up a spiritual stone. Gu Shiyi had no choice but to grit his teeth and
"Okay, let's do this!"

With one thousand spirit stones, he rented a small courtyard. Gu Shiyi brought the fox and the king in, opened the magic circle, settled them down, and planted the spirit grass in the flowerbed that had been reserved in the corner of the courtyard. Seeing that the spirit energy had not leaked at all, Gu Shiyi sighed,

"It is true that cheap goods are not good, and good goods are not cheap!"

I secretly thought,

"It seems that we really need to find a way to get a set of high-level battle flags!"

The magic circle I bought before was too cheap, so a barbarian boy who didn't know any magic broke into it. Fortunately, I chased him in time, otherwise, the loss would be huge!
After that, Gu Shiyi told the king and the fox to keep an eye on the door, and she went out to meet Han Yungu and told her about her move. When Han Yungu heard about her being robbed and then recovering her lost property, she frowned and said,

"Sister, it's right to be cautious..."

Gu Shiyi asked her for advice.
"I think that barbarian is just an ordinary person, with a small wooden sculpture on his body. How did he enter my magic circle and steal my things? I still can't figure it out. I wonder if you can explain it to me?"

Han Yun said,

"This wild land rarely interacts with the cultivators from the Central Plains, so it's not surprising that my sister doesn't know about their strangeness. Speaking of this, I also heard about it from my master. My master once went deep into the wild land and knows something about their cultivation methods..."

After that, he explained to Gu Shiyi,
"The barbarians' cultivation methods are different from ours. They worship the witch god. It is said that there is a huge temple deep in the wilderness, where their witch god is enshrined. The witch gods are served in the temple by witch maidens, and those who walk around outside to spread the witch god's teachings are witch servants. The witch servants and witch maidens are divided into several levels, including small witches, big witches, wizards, great wizards, witch ministers, and witch kings. When Master was in the late Nascent Soul stage, he entered the witch god temple and met their wizard. As a result..."

Han Yungu paused and smiled.

"Master has been defeated!"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
"So, their wizards are able to defeat our late Nascent Soul stage wizards?"

Han Yungu nodded.
"That's about right. So from this we can infer that the Witch King's rank should be comparable to our Refining Void or even higher-ranked great cultivators. The way of cultivation in the wilderness is actually similar to ours, which is also meditation and practice. However, they do not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but pray to the Witch God. Everyone prays to the Witch God and gets strength from him!"

Get power from the witch god?
Gu Shiyi frowned tightly.
"Then what is the power of the Witch God if not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Is the Witch God a god that the Witch King cultivated into?"

Han Yun said,

"It should be like this. It is said that the witch god is passed down from generation to generation. When a witch king reaches a certain level, he can challenge the old witch god. After winning, he becomes the new witch god and replaces the old witch god to be worshipped by all tribes. The witch servants will carry the stone pillar blessed by the witch god and travel to every village and village to spread the witch god's blessing throughout the wilderness. As long as the people kneel down and worship the stone pillar every day, they can get the protection of the witch god!"

As for how the protection was given, Gu Shiyi had already seen it the night before!
Han Yungu continued,
"The boy you saw is most likely a candidate witch servant selected by those witch servants walking outside. If he is a woman, she is a candidate witch. They have obtained the small wooden sculpture, which means they have been recognized by the witch god and can obtain a little bit of the witch god's power. I think one, your magic circle is too simple, and the other is that the magic circle is driven by spiritual power, but the barbarians have a different way of ability from us, so the magic circle may not be able to defend him..."

"Oh, I see!"
