The Legend of the Shepherd God

Chapter 4: The Heavenly Demon Creation Technique

Chapter 4: The Heavenly Demon Creation Technique

May 25, 2025

"Grandpa Lame's leg skills are so fast that he can even run into the sky. Then who cut off his leg? Grandpa Ma's boxing is so powerful, but who cut off his right arm? And Grandpa Butcher's knife skills are so great. Who could break through his defense and cut him in half at the waist?"

Qin Mu was both admiring and puzzled when he saw the true abilities of the butcher, Grandpa Ma, and Grandpa Lame. After he finished learning leg skills from Grandpa Lame, he finally managed to digest the power of the blood of the four spiritual beings, and his constitution had improved. However, this time it exhausted him so much that he wished he could just lie down and fall asleep immediately.

However, this was just the beginning of his hardships.

Almost every day, the old men and women in the village would catch several ferocious beasts and refine them into the blood of the four spiritual beings, and then force him to drink it. After drinking it, he would be subjected to crazy training until he was completely exhausted.

In addition to Grandpa Lame's leg skills, Grandpa Ma's boxing, and the butcher's knife skills, he also needed to learn blacksmithing from the mute, calligraphy and painting from the deaf man, how to distinguish positions by listening to the wind from the blind man, and compete in staff techniques with the blind man while blindfolded.

When he was extremely tired, the village chief would call him over to practice breathing and qi regulation together. The village chief said that the breathing and qi regulation method he taught Qin Mu was a technique specifically for training the Dominant Body, called the Dominant Body Three Elixir Technique, which was very powerful.

Although Qin Mu didn't notice how powerful this so-called Dominant Body Three Elixir Mysterious Technique was, after practicing breathing and qi regulation with the village chief, the fatigue in his whole body dissipated quickly, and he became energetic soon after. Therefore, he thought this technique was very miraculous.

"Village Chief, the technique you taught him seems to be the most ordinary Guiding Technique, right?" The herbalist's eyes flickered. He waited until Qin Mu had walked far away before saying in a low voice.

"Yes, it's the Guiding Technique."

The village chief didn't deny it and said, "The four major Spiritual Bodies each have their own cultivation techniques. The Azure Dragon Spiritual Body cultivates the Qi of the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger Spiritual Body cultivates the Qi of the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird Spiritual Body cultivates the Qi of the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise Spiritual Body cultivates the Qi of the Black Tortoise. But Mu'er doesn't have the Yuan Qi of these four attributes in his body, so he can't cultivate the techniques of the four major Spiritual Bodies. He can't practice any of our cultivation techniques. So I can only teach him the simplest technique, the Guiding Technique that ordinary people can also cultivate. Only the Guiding Technique has no attribute."

The herbalist asked in confusion, "But the Guiding Technique is too simple and ordinary. Practicing the Guiding Technique can at most make one a martial artist, and there won't be much achievement."

The village chief had a strange expression on his face: "I originally thought so too, but now I've found that we may have underestimated the most basic Guiding Technique. Mu'er has been practicing the Guiding Technique with me since he was a child. Now his Yuan Qi is already very powerful, but this Yuan Qi has no attribute and can't exert its power."

The herbalist's expression changed slightly: "How powerful is it?"

"If his Yuan Qi had the attribute of your Azure Dragon Yuan Qi, his current cultivation level would already be half as powerful as the Spiritual Embryo Divine Deposit in your body."

The herbalist was startled and exclaimed, "I have already broken through the Celestial Being Barrier and opened the Celestial Being Divine Deposit. Over the years, I have developed the Spiritual Embryo, Five Luminaries, Six Harmonies and other Divine Deposits to the extreme! Half of the cultivation level of my Spiritual Embryo Divine Deposit is already equivalent to the peak level of a martial artist! His cultivation level has reached the peak of a martial artist even though he hasn't opened the Spiritual Embryo Divine Deposit. If he opens the Spiritual Embryo Divine Deposit, wouldn't his cultivation level be several times that of the four major Spiritual Bodies that have opened the Spiritual Embryo Divine Deposit? Is this still the Guiding Technique?"

The village chief was also very puzzled and said, "This common Guiding Technique indeed has some mysteries. Although it is simple, its foundation is incredibly solid, more solid than one can imagine. In fact, Mu'er has been practicing it for eight years. Eight years is not a short time. At the beginning, the progress of practicing the Guiding Technique was slow, but recently I've found that Mu'er's cultivation progress is getting faster and faster, especially in these days after taking the blood of the four spiritual beings. The progress is terrifying! If the Guiding Technique weren't so common everywhere, I would almost think it was some extraordinary divine technique..."

Both of them had strange expressions on their faces.

The herbalist exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, shook his head and said, "No matter how deep his cultivation level is, it's useless. After all, it's Yuan Qi without any attribute and can't exert any power. What do you think, to what extent can he cultivate the Guiding Technique?"

The village chief's expression became even more strange: "I don't know either."

The herbalist nodded, understanding what he meant.

The Guiding Technique is the most basic and primary cultivation technique, often used to lay the foundation for children when they are young. After they are around ten years old, their bone structures have been determined, and they can withstand the impact of the spiritual blood. After it is verified which Spiritual Body they are, there is no need to practice the Guiding Technique anymore.

After breaking through the barriers, there are better cultivation techniques, and there is no need to work hard on the Guiding Technique at all.

And even if ordinary people keep practicing the Guiding Technique, they can't take spiritual blood every day like Qin Mu.

Those who have the resources to do this are all powerful families and clans, but powerful families and clans won't waste a lot of resources on disciples with ordinary aptitudes. No powerful family or clan will be like the villagers in the Crippled Elderly Village, constantly catching the four spiritual and strange beasts to give Qin Mu, an ordinary person, a great tonic.

The village chief had never heard of anyone who had cultivated the Guiding Technique to the extreme, and he had never even seen anyone who had cultivated it to Qin Mu's current level.

So, he didn't know to what extent Qin Mu could cultivate in the future.

What shocked the village chief and the herbalist was that in the subsequent cultivation, Qin Mu's cultivation level became even deeper. The most basic Guiding Technique actually showed its extraordinary features in him, making his foundation extremely solid!

A month later, he could withstand several times more of the blood of the four spiritual beings than before, and his Yuan Qi was as thick as if he had opened the Spiritual Embryo Divine Deposit, or even thicker!

However, although his Yuan Qi was thick, it had no attributes and couldn't exert any power, so his cultivation level couldn't be revealed.

But there were also advantages. That was, his ability to withstand blows was very strong, and his recovery speed was also extremely fast. After competing in knife skills with the butcher, he immediately practiced boxing with Grandpa Ma, then competed in staff techniques with the blind man while blindfolded, and then went to learn leg skills from Grandpa Lame, and then went to the blacksmith's place to strike the iron with a sledgehammer weighing dozens of jin. With such high-intensity training, he just took a few breaths and practiced the so-called "Dominant Body Three Elixir Technique", and soon he became energetic and full of vitality again!

The effect of the "Dominant Body Three Elixir Technique" also shocked the village chief. He asked the herbalist to secretly check Qin Mu's body to prevent any hidden dangers caused by his excessive excitement.

After the herbalist checked, he had a strange expression on his face and said, "It's not excitement, and there are no hidden dangers. It's just that his Yuan Qi is so strong that it has started to improve his physical quality."

The village chief was also stunned. Even though he had been a powerful figure and had seen a lot, he had never seen a situation like Qin Mu's. Qin Mu had actually cultivated the most ordinary Guiding Technique to such a degree, which had exceeded the public's understanding of the Guiding Technique.

"Qin Mu, today you will learn how to make clothes with Grandma. We won't practice boxing anymore."

Granny Si called Qin Mu over. This hunchbacked granny was carrying a small basket. There were needles, threads and other sewing tools in the basket. She tiptoed out, and Qin Mu quickly followed. He took the basket from Granny Si's hand and asked in confusion, "Grandma, shouldn't making clothes be done in the village? Why are we going out of the village?"

"Today we'll learn how to make real clothes outside the village."

Granny Si chuckled and said, "These days, Old Ma, Lame and the others have taught you a lot of real skills. Grandma can't be stingy either. Today, I'll also teach you something that a real tailor is good at."

Something that a real tailor is good at? Isn't it still making clothes?

Qin Mu was puzzled. He followed Granny Si out of the village and walked downstream along the riverbank. Although Granny Si was hunchbacked, she walked very fast. Qin Mu had to use all his strength to run with the leg skills taught by Grandpa Lame to keep up with her. The two walked more than ten li and came to the mountain foot. In front of them, there was a group of elk grazing and playing in the forest, about two hundred steps away from them.

Granny Si pulled out an embroidery needle from the ball of thread in the basket. She flicked her finger, and the silver needle disappeared in a flash. Then Qin Mu saw a elk more than two hundred steps away fall to the ground with a thud. The other elks were startled and fled in all directions.

Granny Si tiptoed forward, and Qin Mu followed. He saw that although the elk was lying on the ground, it was still alive. It was just that its forehead was pierced by Granny Si's silver needle, and it couldn't move.

"Mu'er, watch carefully. With this needle, I've fixed its Heavenly Soul."

Granny Si asked Qin Mu to remember the position of the silver needle on the elk's forehead. Then she took out another embroidery needle from the ball of thread and stabbed it at the elk's tailbone: "With this needle, I've fixed its Earthly Soul."

She took out another embroidery needle and stabbed it at the elk's navel: "With this needle, I've fixed its Life Soul. The three souls have been fixed, and there are still the seven spirits. The first spirit is called Corpse Dog. The Corpse Dog spirit is at the top of the head, that is, the top of the skull."

She took out another silver needle and stabbed it at the elk's navel, saying, "The second spirit is called Fushi. The Fushi spirit is in the third eye area. Pay attention, the Fushi spirit is easy to be confused with the Heavenly Soul. Although the positions of these two needles are the same, one is deep and the other is shallow. Don't make a mistake."

"The third spirit, the Queyin spirit, is in the Adam's apple. Touch your own Adam's apple. Is there a triangular notch there? That's where the Queyin spirit hides. With this needle, I'll fix the Queyin spirit."

"The fourth spirit, the Tunzei spirit, is in the heart. It's in the area where the heart orifices gather, right here."

"The fifth spirit, the Feidu spirit, is in the navel. Pay attention, don't confuse the Life Soul with the Feidu spirit."

"The sixth spirit, the Chuhui spirit, is in the perineum, which is the place where dirt is excreted."

"The seventh spirit, the Choufei spirit, is in the lungs, which is the place for inhaling fresh air and exhaling stale air."

After Granny Si fixed the three souls and seven spirits of this elk, she said, "This is the most crucial step before making clothes, locking the soul, locking the three souls and seven spirits. Mu'er, have you seen it clearly? If you have seen it clearly, we'll start making clothes."

Qin Mu didn't understand what this had to do with making clothes, but he still carefully remembered these positions and said, "I've remembered them."

Granny Si took out a pair of scissors from the basket and cut open the elk's mouth. After a while, she skinned the whole elk. Strangely enough, although the elk's skin was peeled off, there was not a single drop of blood flowing out.

"I locked its soul just now, locking all its blood, energy, spirit, and soul in this elk skin. The elk is dead, but the elk skin is still alive. However, to really refine it into clothes, some techniques are still needed. Mu'er, watch carefully and remember the positions pointed by my fingers!"

Granny Si threw the elk skin into the air. As the elk skin fell from the air, this hunchbacked granny's small feet moved quickly. Using her fingers as needles, she continuously pointed at the elk skin.

Qin Mu concentrated on remembering. He saw that Granny Si pointed three hundred and sixteen times before the elk skin landed. The position of each finger was different, and each finger injected Yuan Qi into the elk skin.

When the elk skin landed, it actually looked like a live elk standing there, shaking its head and wagging its tail. It was impossible to tell that it was just a piece of skin!

Qin Mu was stunned. Granny Si suddenly chuckled, unfolded the elk skin, and wrapped Qin Mu in it with a swoop. She smiled and said, "This is the kind of clothes that we tailors should make."

Qin Mu felt that the elk skin was getting tighter and tighter, as if it was growing on his body. It wrapped him so tightly that he couldn't help but put his hands on the ground.

He actually felt that he had become an elk, and he even felt that he had a short elk tail!

Granny Si took out a mirror from the basket and placed it in front of him. Qin Mu saw himself in the mirror and actually turned into an elk!

He wanted to speak, but a deer's cry came out of his mouth.

The Heavenly Demon Creation Technique! What a powerful spell! I didn't expect that in this desolate and bleak place of the Great Wilderness, there would still be remnants of the Heavenly Demons and demon brats teaching some harmful methods here!
