Chapter 59: Ghost Cultivation
When Lin Xi saw Yao Man like this, he immediately stopped asking, but he had a little more estimate in his heart.
In this way, the three of them came all the way to an inconspicuous residential area in the eastern district of Nanling, and finally stopped outside a slightly shabby courtyard.
"Is this here?" Lin Xi glanced at Yao Man with an inquiring gaze, according to what Zhao Guan said, the Yao family should be a big family, no matter how down, it would not live in such a remote place.
"This is where my sister, as well as my father and mother live temporarily, otherwise those Tiandanmen disciples come every now and then, which will be very detrimental to my father's injury. Yao Man's face turned red, and he said a little embarrassed, and then took the lead and walked in.
Lin Xi nodded and didn't say anything, but when Zhao Guan walked in, he deliberately took a step behind, and at the same time whispered something.
Zhao Guan only felt that something suddenly appeared in his hand, and he was slightly startled, but after hearing Lin Xi's words, he immediately calmed down and cast a grateful gaze.
As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard, they heard Yao Manxi's uncontrollable voice, "Dad, mother, sister, look who I brought here!"
Not long after his voice fell, a middle-aged woman and a woman a few years older than Yao Man walked out at the same time, and after seeing Lin Xi and Zhao Guan, they were both shocked and asked, "Aman, these two are..."
The woman's voice was a little hoarse, although the charm still existed, she should be very beautiful when she was young, but her expression obviously had the meaning of vicissitudes.
And the woman who is a few years older than Yao Man gives people a very amazing feeling, the so-called national color and fragrance, sinking fish and geese, describing nothing more than this kind of woman.
This woman's demeanor and temperament are all outstanding, her cheeks seem to be made of jade, and she is dressed in white like a fairy in the world, delicate and moving, no wonder people who cultivate truth are fascinated by it!
Lin Xi thought so in his heart, on the other side, Yao Man had already begun to introduce him and Zhao Guan to his family: "This is Boss Zhao of our Spirit Pet Residence, this is Boss Lin, the owner behind the scenes, they came here this time to help us resolve the crisis." ”
Hearing Yao Man say this, the two daughters were taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've seen the two bosses!"
The Yao family was also a prominent Xiuzhen family a few years ago, but there had been no spiritual veins for several generations, and it once declined.
In the eyes of today's Yao family, the boss and behind-the-scenes owner of the Spirit Pet House is already an unattainable big man, after all, the current Spirit Pet House is far from being comparable to the small shop before.
Zhao Guan helped the two of them up with a smile on his face and said, "I heard that Aman said that my uncle is in poor health, I specially prepared some pills, I don't know where my uncle is now?"
"Ah, Boss Zhao, please, Aman's father is in the room!"
Hearing this, the woman was taken aback and immediately overjoyed.
And Yao Man's sister Yao Hui is also very happy, but compared to women, she seems to be a lot more stable.
Yao Man looked at Zhao Guan with some surprise, she didn't know that Zhao Guan had specially prepared the elixir before she came, although she was a little curious, she was still very moved.
Although Zhao Guan's cultivation is not high, he is also an out-and-out cultivator, and he is considerate and honest, Zhao Guan is interested in her, she can't see it, but the things at home make her unable to be distracted, so she has not agreed.
And now, she is really impressed.
At this time, several people had already entered the room, and after Lin Xi glanced at the middle-aged man on the bed, he was relieved, this person was not a serious illness, but he was only very haggard because he was injected with a little spiritual power in his body.
Spiritual power is the source of all things, and without aura, there is no such thing as the growth of all things. Cultivators use the spiritual vein as the mediator, and only by introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body can they refine themselves, but because mortals do not have spiritual veins, once they are forcibly instilled with spiritual energy, it is strange that they are not sick!
With just one glance, Lin Xi could imagine what kind of goods those Tiandanmen disciples were, the cultivators' methods of dealing with mortals were not a hundred but eighty or ninety, and the methods of these people were undoubtedly inferior, if Lin Xi did it, he would never be so shoddy.
He then began to look at Yao Hui's daughter, Lin Xi was still quite confident in his concentration, but this woman had made him feel amazing before, and between his gestures, he exuded a thrilling charm, which made people have to be emotional, and even immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, which was really a bit incredible.
It seemed that she had discovered that Lin Xi was looking at herself, this woman's delicate body trembled slightly, and there seemed to be a faint black gas flashing in her eyes.
Under Lin Xi's gaze, this woman changed her previous foxy color and became extremely dignified.
But it was precisely this move that made Lin Xi's face change slightly in an instant!
For that black qi, others may not know what it is, but Lin Xi is very familiar with it - where is this woman who is a human being, it is clearly the Nine Ghost Souls possessed by Yin Souls!
His eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of discoloration, and immediately his fingers flicked slightly, and the half-inch-long black chain hung down from the cuffs when he was neutral!
At this moment, "Yao Hui" seemed to feel something, her expression suddenly changed, and her body couldn't help but tremble twice.
Her eyes immediately appeared pleading, and she actually used the sound transmission spell of a cultivator to say to Lin Xi, "Senior, don't do it!
When Lin Xi heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "I'll talk about it later." And he paid no more attention to the woman.
This woman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, even though she was very jealous in her heart, she couldn't help but look at Lin Xi, and at the same time, her eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
At this moment, after swallowing the elixir given by Zhao Guan, Yao Man's father seemed to be reborn, his tired color faded without a trace, there was no discomfort in his whole body, and even his appearance seemed to be several years younger.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, "This... What's going on?"
Several people looked at Zhao Guan with inquiring eyes, and their expressions were greatly surprised.
Zhao Guan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle's illness is not difficult to cure, and after taking this elixir, my uncle's lifespan can be extended by at least ten years." ”
Then he took out a spirit pill that was exactly the same as before, put it in front of the woman with both hands, and said respectfully, "Be careful, please aunt smile." ”
"It's... It's the same elixir as Aman's father?" The woman couldn't help but be overjoyed, but didn't take it quickly, but looked at Yao Man with an inquiring look.
Yao Man's cheeks were slightly red, and he said, "Mother, you can take it." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. After the woman took the elixir, she immediately found a delicate box and carefully put it away, and when she came back, she looked at Zhao Guan again and again, and her heart became more and more happy.
Zhao Guan immediately took out another elixir and sent it to Yao Hui, saying, "Sister take it too." ”
Yao Hui also showed a look of joy and bowed, "Thank you Boss Zhao." ”
When Lin Xi saw this scene, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, this person was obviously a ghost possessed by a ghost, but she had to make a sophisticated appearance, which was really embarrassing for her.
However, speaking of which, these elixirs are by no means fooling people, they can be sold at a sky-high price of at least thousands of spirit stones in a trading house, and now they are used on mortals, and it is a bit of a loss of reputation to say that they can prolong their lives.
If it weren't for Zhao Guan, Lin Xi would never have taken it out like this and gave it away.
After Yao Man's father recovered from his injury, the family was naturally happy and began to chatter, of course, the most important thing was to start asking long and short questions about Zhao Guan's age, family, business and other things.
Seeing this, Lin Xi didn't stay long, and when a few people weren't paying attention, he walked out of the room by himself.
I have to say that the Yao family is a big family after all, although the tiger falls in Pingyang, whether it is the room or the courtyard, it is very clean, giving people a very relaxed feeling.
Lin Xi was about to take a closer look at the scenery here, when "Yao Hui" came behind him quietly and shouted in a low voice, "Senior..."
When Lin Xi heard the voice, he glanced back at her, and said lightly, "Why did Miss Yao come out too?"
When Yao Hui heard this, her expression suddenly became happy, and she said curiously, "Seniors don't plan to kill me?"
Lin Xi didn't answer, and after a long time, he said with the same expression, "I don't know something, and I ask the girl to answer." ”
"Senior, please speak! The little woman must know everything. When the woman heard this, she hurriedly said.
"I can see that you have no ill will towards the Yao family, but with your identity, you are willing to be a mortal woman in the human world, what is it for?" Lin Xi looked at this woman and said.
"It turns out that the seniors asked about this!"
Yao Hui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, and after smiling slightly, she said faintly, "I thought that my predecessors were asking about my past! If this is the case, the little girl really doesn't know how to answer, since I woke up, she has already become 'Yao Hui', and there are still some impressions of the events of the past few decades, and I can't remember it clearly, as for being a mortal woman, what's wrong with this? My father and mother are very good to me, and my sister is also very good to me, and I am reluctant to leave them." ”
Lin Xi's eyes froze, "Yao Hui was killed by you?"
"The seniors wronged me! Yao Hui actually died a few months ago, the seniors should know about the great battle in Nanling a few months ago, right? She was accidentally injured and died by a cultivator at that time, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have had a chance to attach myself to her. Yao Hui hurriedly explained.
She then said, "But speaking of which, the little girl also has to thank her seniors! If it weren't for the seniors who killed those two soul lockers, I wouldn't have dared to appear in the human world so grandly." ”
Lin Xi's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but flash a cold color: "How do you know that I killed them?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately thought of the half-order soul chain in his sleeve, since this woman is a Nine Ghost Soul, she naturally recognizes this thing!
He immediately shook his head, and continued, "You're from the underworld?"
"I've always been in the human world, but I can't remember the specific reason, I've been hiding from the soul locking ghosts all these years, for fear of being caught by them, they don't allow lonely souls like me to stay in the human world. Yao Hui said quietly.
"Why did you choose Yao Hui's body?" Lin Xi asked again.
"Naturally, I have some ideas about this, if the little woman chooses an old woman with a wrinkled face, or a wreckage of flesh and blood, the senior will probably not talk to me so patiently. Yao Hui said as a matter of course.
When Lin Xi heard this, he was stunned, and he really couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.
But at this moment, Yao Hui suddenly said something that surprised Lin Xi.
"Senior, can I go with you? During this time, although I have tasted the taste of human affection, I am actually worried every day, and I am afraid that the soul locking ghost will capture me in my dreams, if this is the case, I really can't stay in the human world. When Yao Hui said this, her face had turned into a resentment, and her voice was full of pleading.
Lin Xi glanced at her with some surprise, and after pondering for a moment, he didn't answer her words, but asked, "How did you avoid the Soul Locker in the past?"
"In the past, I lived in a forest outside Nanling City, and the ghosts didn't dare to go to that place, as long as I saw them, I would immediately hide in the forest, and it would be fine, if the seniors promised to take me away, I would tell the seniors the location of the forest, there was a shocking secret hidden there, what did the seniors think?" Yao Hui asked cautiously.
"Let me think about it. Lin Xi said.
"Well, the senior thought slowly. Seeing that Lin Xi really began to think about it, this woman was not in a hurry, she stood next to her and looked at Lin Xi with a serious face, and her eyes flashed with brilliance from time to time.
"What realm are you in now?" Lin Xi pondered for a moment before suddenly asking.
"As soon as he arrived at the Ghost General, it was equivalent to the first order of a cultivator. Yao Hui said.
Lin Xi was surprised, glanced at the woman thoughtfully, and said, "Even if your strength is not as good as the Soul Locking Ghost, it is not much different, why do you have to follow me? Just because I killed two Soul Locking Ghosts?"
"There are reasons for this, but it's not all, to be honest, what really attracts me about my predecessor is something on you, which seems to be a piece of jade..."
