The elderly white-haired man seed to have so reservations and said to you, "The power of the Soul Devouring Curse is extrely strong, and even though your soul strength isn’t bad, you must act cautiously. Rember not to be careless. Otherwise, not only will you fail to break the Soul Devouring Curse, but it might also cost both your lives!"
You and Wu Qiyi exchanged a glance, and in her eyes, you saw unwavering trust.
Seeing your determination, the white-haired man smiled and nodded, then said to you, "Young man, the power of the Soul Devouring Curse is incredibly formidable. You mustn’t be too anxious, you must separate the power of the curse from her body as if you’re unraveling threads from a cocoon."
You nodded seriously.
Afterward, the white-haired man explained several key points. Finally, he suddenly said, "Oh yes, just in case, this old man has sothing to give you."
With that, the white-haired man slowly stood up and walked to a corner of the room where there was an old wooden cabinet. He took out a porcelain bottle from one of the drawers.
"These are Soul-Stabilizing Pills, two in total. They should be of so help in breaking the Soul Devouring Curse."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!" you quickly took the bottle and thanked him respectfully.
The white-haired man laughed casually, ", a Taoist Priest? I’m nothing but a tired old man."
Following that, you had a casual chat with the white-haired man and soon left.
When he was seeing you off at the entrance of the village, he seed to rember sothing and suddenly said, "When you attempt to break the Soul Devouring Curse, it would be best to choose a day when human energy is most abundant."
"Human energy is most abundant?"
"Every person has three strands of Pure Yang fire within them, which vary according to a person’s mood and physical condition. These can drive away ghosts and play a significant role in breaking the Soul Devouring Curse."
"Alright, thank you, elder!"
The three of you bid farewell to the white-haired man and descended the mountain as quickly as possible.
Initially, you thought you might spend a day or two on Mount Sanqing, looking for Daoist Qingyun, but as it turned out, you stumbled upon him without even trying.
You thought that perhaps it was a blessing from the heavens, not wishing for Wu Qiyi to et her end at such a young age.
The return journey seed much simpler—you took a car to the east train station after descending the mountain and arrived in Yuhang after a little over an hour on the high-speed train.
On the train, Xi Yu deliberately asked, "Master Li, when do you plan on removing the curse for Miss Wu?"
In fact, this question had been on your mind since leaving Mount Sanqing. Now that Xi Yu brought it up, you decided to bring it to the table for discussion.
"This matter has always been weighing on my mind, and we certainly can’t delay it any longer. Moreover, the timing now is right—we have two suitable days ahead of us." You paused, then continued, "One is the day before Lunar New Year’s Eve, and the other is New Year’s Eve. Right now, everyone who works away from ho has returned. Households gather around the dinner table, drinking and chatting in good spirits, so the Yang energy in Yuhang City is at its strongest then."
Xi Yu and Wu Qiyi nodded, this point had not occurred to them.
Xi Yu had also been considering the best ti to break the Soul Devouring Curse after descending the mountain, planning to gather thousands of people. However, your idea was much better by comparison.
Yuhang City has a population of a million, and the collective Yang energy of these people would be imnse!
In fact, this is one of the main reasons why ghosts are rarely seen in cities—major cities have diverse populations and heavy human traffic.
The greater the number of people, the more vigorous the Yang energy. Since ghosts fear Yang energy, they naturally prefer to stay in less populated rural areas.
"Let’s choose the day before Lunar New Year’s Eve," Wu Qiyi decided on the date, the second of February.
You said to both won in a grave tone, "Now, there are only a few days left until the second of February. Little Yun, you mustn’t go anywhere these days. Stay calm and bring both your body and mind to their optimal states."
"What about you, Master Li?" Xi Yu asked.
"I’m planning to go deep into the mountains to refine more Spirit Gathering Pills and Returning Yuan Pills."
"Well then, I’ll be relying on you, Master Li."
You turned to Wu Qiyi and smiled.
Just getting off the train, your phone in your pocket started ringing: "The red lady tied a big peach, the rat carried a stinky cat, the mosquito laid a swan egg..."
"Ah, busy with business."
With a soft sigh, you pulled out your phone amidst the two girls’ amused smiles.
"Hello, Mom."
"You little rascal, where are you?"
"Little Yun and I just got off the bullet train, we’re at the station."
"Is my darling daughter by your side?"
"No, I asked Xian Qianling, that crazy... to help look after her."
That was a close one, almost let it slip out!
"Xian Qianling? Oh—" Your mother drew out a long tone with that aningful inflection, "You’re truly my son, your skills at flirting are getting better by the day, co on, report to your old mom."
"I’m still busy, where are you? I’ll have Police Officer Xie bring Little Yan over to see you."
"Where else would your mother be? Obviously, at ho." Your mother continued with a series of long sighs, "Ai! Everyone says raise sons for your old age, but look at , I raised you with great hardship, and when I get ho, there isn’t even a cup of hot tea waiting for . In this freezing cold, with the biting north wind, I sit alone at ho while my only son is out having fun, and he doesn’t even co ho to bring so warmth, ai, such is my bitter fate!"
Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu typically did not eavesdrop, but now both were all ears, their cute little ears even trembling slightly, taking in every word your mother said.
"Alright, alright, I’ll send Little Yan over to see you soon."
Every ti your old lady started on these topics, it gave you a big headache.
You imdiately hung up the phone and called Xian Qianling: "Hello."
Xian Qianling’s voice sounded sowhat anxious.
"Hello, Crazy Woman," you blurted out.
"Li Muyun, itching for a spanking, are you?!"
The roar of this crazy woman was indeed powerful; you picked your ear with your pinky and told her, "My mom’s back now, at ho. Take Little Yan over, I’ll send you the address on WeChat."
"Hey, hey! Don’t hang up yet!" Xian Qianling’s voice was brief and urgent.
"What is it?"
Xian Qianling paused, then said, "Your... your mom... she’s not too fierce, is she?"
Good grief!
Oh man!
Has this crazy lady taken the wrong dicine or what?
"..." You held your head, sighing, "I an, in terms of fierceness, I haven’t t anyone who can outdo you, you know?"
"Drop dead!"
Xian Qianling angrily hung up the phone.
And you just sent her a WeChat ssage and that was that.
Finally, you turned to Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu and said, "I won’t go back now; I’ll drive straight to the mountain area."
"Mm, be careful with everything," Wu Qiyi nodded.
