“Am I dreaming?”
“I remember being in a taxi…”
Ma Long rubbed his eyes.
Drenched in alcohol, he staggered aimlessly in the wilderness.
All of a sudden, “ugh,” he felt an intense upheaval in his stomach and started vomiting violently on the ground.
An unpleasant smell hit him, nearly causing Ma Long to vomit again.
“Damn!”
Is this dream so realistic?”
Grumbling, he walked forward and saw a dim light emerging from the darkness ahead.
Looking down, there was a cobblestone path extending from the underbrush at his feet, leading towards the place lit up by the light.
Ma Long walked along the cobblestone path and quickly arrived in front of a manor.
The manor looked exactly like the ancient houses in movies and TV shows, with big red lanterns hanging at the entrance, and the door wide open. Inside, the rooms were visible at a glance.
From the room, a silver-bell-like laughter was heard, with a mesmerizing quality that drew Ma Long involuntarily towards the manor.
“Is this an erotic dream?”
Drooling, Ma Long walked into the room.
Inside the room, the curtains were drawn, the candlelight flickered, and in the center of the room was a bath filled with rose petals. In the bath, several young women were taking a bath.
“All!”
“There’s a man!”
In the bath, a woman screamed and quickly covered her chest with her hands.
The other women were startled, and screams followed in succession. For a moment, the bath was a flurry of splashing water and flailing limbs, blindingly captivating to the eye.
Ma Long covered his eyes with his hands, leaving space between his fingers wide enough for his eyes to gleam through, and said: “Look but don’t touch, look but don’t touch … don’t be scared, sisters. 1 have no ill intentions, I am not a bad guy, I am just passing by, thinking of coming in for a drink of water.”
“All?”
“Really?”
“Sisters, this man isn’t a bad person.”
“He smells so bad…”
“Should we invite him to join us in the bath?”
“All?”
Ma Long was delighted and demurred, “That wouldn’t be right. You sisters don’t know, 1 am of good character, although there are many girls, up to now, 1 am still a virgin…meh, 1 am only dreaming, why bother saying all this?”
He laughed heartily and leapt into the bath without another thought.
“Hehehe … sisters, here I come!”
“These several strange cases are quite interesting.”
“Too bad there are no leads for now, can’t even find a ghost, how am I going to earn merit points?”
Wu City.
Inside the funeral home.
After studying the strange case files for a while, Xu Yang started searching online to see if there were any reports of strange cases recently… unfortunately, such news was heavily censored online and he could not find anything.
The few he came across, are also difficult to distinguish between true and fake.
Deciding not to pay it any more attention, Xu Yang switched his thoughts and opened up the system property panel.
[Name]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22 years old
[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill
[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill
[Cultivation]: Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer
[Daoist Artifact]: Supreme Purification Seal
[Merit Points]: 2988 points.
[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards
On returning from Silver City Institute of Technology, Xu Yang had accumulated 1088 merit points.
Just in one day, by aiding in the crossing over of thousands of elderly souls, bidding farewell to Elder Hong, and redeeming a huge sum of merit from the fierce ghost created by the old witch, Xu Yang’s accumulated merit points were nearing the 3000 point mark.
“I haven’t spent any of my merit points because I wanted to keep some in reserve in case incidents like being dragged into water by the water ghost occur.”
“Secondly, the merit points were too few, even if 1 converted all of them into mana, it would barely improve my cultivation.”
But now-
– nearly 3000 merit points were sufficient to take Xu Yang’s cultivation to a new realm!
With a change of thought –
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -2000.
Following the system’s prompt, Xu Yang felt an overwhelming surge of mana generating inside him, automatically circulating through his meridians and limbs.
In just a few seconds-
Crack!
A faint sound seemed to echo, as if some kind of barrier had been broken through.
Xu Yang’s body trembled slightly, a strong aura spreading out from him and then quickly retracting again.
He took a deep breath and couldn’t help but say, “The seventh level of Qi
Refining Realm… finally achieved!”
When he looked up, he saw two heads poking out from the doorway.
“Yang Yin, Shishi…what’s up?”
Xu Yang asked with a smile, “Did my breakthrough make such a huge fuss? Has it alarmed you both?”
Yang Yin didn’t feel anything remarkable.
However, it was different for Liu Shishi.
She was usually unfazed by anything, but now, her beautiful face was full of shock and she mumbled in disbelief, “You’ve reached the seventh level?”
Xu Yang nodded.
“How did you do it so fast?’
Liu Shishi couldn’t comprehend.
She had watched with her own eyes as Xu Yang went from being an ordinary person to achieving the third level of the Qi Refining Realm in one go.
It’s been only a few days?
And now he’s already at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm?
When Liu Shishi said he was fast, Xu Yang immediately felt displeased, “Stop talking nonsense, I’m not fast at all, okay?”
Liu Shishi: “Isn’t this fast enough?”
Xu Yang retorted: “If you haven’t tried it, how would you know what’s fast?”
Yang Yin shrank her neck a bit.
It seemed she understood.
But on one side was Master Xu and on the other, Elder Sister Ghost King, both of whom she didn’t want to upset, so she could only drift away, quietly.
Liu Shishi:”…”
Though she didn’t understand what Xu Yang was blabbing about.
She guessed it wasn’t something good.
She flicked her hair, and said indignantly, “Humph, you’re showing off with just the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm. 1 could blow you away with a single breath…I won’t stoop to your level.”
Once the two of them had left.
Xu Yang began studying his “cultivation level”.
The transition from the sixth to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm may be just one step, but the increase in his Daoist abilities was several times greater than before!
The sixth level of Qi Refining Realm was considered as “mid-stage”.
But reaching the seventh level meant entering the “late stage of the Qi Refining Realm”.
After glancing at his attribute panel, he still had 988 virtue points left, leaving 500 of them should be enough!
With a thought, Xu Yang converted another 488 points.
Feeling the increase in his Daoist abilities, he made a secret judgment, “To advance from the sixth to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, it took me 2000 virtue points… Now, to break into the eighth level, I think 1 need 3000 virtue points.”
He tried to cultivate for two circulations.
Unfortunately, the progress in his cultivation was negligible; it was practically worthless. However, he was no longer lethargic, he was refreshed and invigorated.
“Damn it!”
“Can’t fall asleep anymore… If I’d known, I wouldn’t have cultivated, two hours of cultivation is not even as effective as scaring Liu Shishi and Yang Yin.”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up: “Right, 1 have two ghosts at home, why do I need to go around looking for Yin spirits and malicious entities… 1 should think of a way to scare them, shouldn’t 1?”
Xu Yang was always a man of action.
Once he decided, he immediately climbed out of bed, quietly opened the door and peeked out.
Liu Shishi was sitting on the living room sofa watching TV, while Yang Yin was reading a book at the dining table.
On the table, there was a fruit plate filled with apples, pitayas, oranges, bananas, watermelons and the like… all cut into small pieces and skewered with toothpicks. Yang Yin would occasionally pick up a piece and sniff it, only to throw it into the trash afterward.
Xu Yang took out the mask he’d obtained from Dawa Elementary School last time from his storage space.
Then he put on a pair of baggy shorts and tiptoed out.
He snuck up behind Yang Yin, patted her on the shoulder, and then
“Roar!”
He snarled, baring his teeth and claws.
Yang Yin turned around, shuddering before beating her chest and complaining, “Master Xu, what are you doing? You almost scared the life out of me!”
Looking at the attribute panel, still displaying “500 virtue points,” Xu Yang felt bored. He turned around, unwilling to give up, and walked towards Liu Shishi.
“What’s up?”
Liu Shishi lifted her eyelid and looked at Xu Yang.
Whoosh!
Xu Yang moved lightning fast, instantly pulling down his shorts and then promptly pulling them up again.
Liu Shishi rolled her eyes, saying speechlessly, “You’re crazy!”
“Ding!”
“The female ghost was startled, virtue points +100..”
