“This Master was also kind enough. This jade pendant can not only suppress evil creatures, but is equally effective against demons.” Perfected Zhang sighed and said directly, “Fortunately, the demon within your son’s body has been suppressed during this time, otherwise…”
“Demon?” Lin Jingshi was the first to blanch. “Master, what demon?” Lin Chongchang shuddered with fright and turned ashen-faced as well, suddenly recalling how his grandson has been eating raw meat a while back.
“I heard that your son loved to eat raw chickens and ducks not long ago, and if This Penniless Priest is not mistaken, your son has a fox demon from one of the Five Great Families dwelling inside him,” Perfected Zhang lay bare the truth with one sentence. “Folks often make offerings to the Weasel, the Fox, the Hedgehog, and others, to pray for blessings and ward off disasters. There’s just some problems with the way your son is making his offerings, and is rather deeply entangled.”
“Little Foxy isn’t a demon, it’s a fox immortal. It’s been protecting me ever since. It’s just a bit voracious and always eating things I don’t like,” Lin Haoxing retorted.
Lin Chongchang’s tension eased at Lin Haoxing’s response, and he looked at Perfected Zhang. “I’ve heard of them too. These five should be known as the Five Great Immortals. Master, there should be no physical harm to Xingxing, right?”
Perfected Zhang instructed his apprentice to take Lin Haoxing away, and only after they had left did he helplessly shake his head. “Your son has a very heavy demonic aura, so it should have been in his body for a long time. Separating rashly now would only damage your son’s soul, but if this continues in the long run, the consequences will be dire.”
Lin Chongchang lost color and he nearly swayed. Lin Jingshi supported him, but he shrugged her off anxiously. “Doesn’t Master also have any other means? Master, I beg of you. We only have this one child in our family.”
Lin Jingshi was equally anxious. “Master, please find a way. Only you can heal Xingxing, and we can also give you half of our property.” She was on the verge of kneeling down.
Perfected Zhang immediately thwarted her and helplessly said, “Madam, you mustn’t kneel. It’s really this Poor Priest’s incompetence, not my unwillingness to help.”
Lin Jingshi sobbed immediately upon hearing this. Even Lin Chongchang looked greatly devastated.
“Perhaps that Master has a way,” Perfected Zhang blurted out.
Lin Chongchang was startled. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes as he clapped back. “That’s right, that Master must have a solution.”
Lin Jingshi also stopped crying; her face carried a ray of hope.
Perfected Zhang sighed inwardly at their looks. He just drew them a big pancake. If that Master could separate demons, she already would have separated it for Lin Haoxing and suppressed it with the jade pendant. This matter probably must have been troublesome and awfully tricky for her, too.
Chi Shuyan lit a lamp and lay weakly on her side on the desk, looking at the huge stack of test papers and questions, slightly irritated. With 12 days still left before the college entrance exam, skipping classes was no longer an option, let alone going to her stall, but her cultivation also couldn’t be put off. She could clearly remember that there wasn’t long before that atrocious ‘borrowing of luck’ too, which was just days after the college entrance exams.
Chi Shuyan clenched her fists, her nails gouging the flesh of her palms. This type of diabolic ‘borrow luck’ array, wasn’t easy to set up, and could easily backfire if there was a mistake. Therefore, Warlocks without some attainment would never dare to lay this kind of array out.
She was afraid that the Warlock was skilled, which was precisely the reason why she was laid low with endless dread, hesitant to take action, and desperate to cultivate.
Chi Shuyan checked her card balance and only had 10,000 left. She couldn’t even afford to buy a ganoderma lucidum. A millennium old ganoderma easily cost millions. Furthermore, there weren’t many people as stupid and rich as Su Yeran. She didn’t have the reputation now either, so no one would ever come to her door, and even if they did, a whole bunch would probably turn about and leave after taking her age into consideration.
Chi Shuyan banged her head on the ground. Why is life so hard?!
Ding! – a message alert sounded, and Chi Shuyan picked up her phone and took a look. It was a Taobao customer service sales message: Dear, your online shopping reviews have exceeded…
Chi Shuyan was in the mood to throw it aside, but then she had a sudden inspiration. If she couldn’t set up a stall, then she could open a Taobao store to sell talismans! Chi Shuyan beamed happily and patted her forehead. Now was the era of online shopping; what even was a brick-and-mortar stall?
