"With a pure heart, one can no longer see evil," explained Ginger Daoist, holding the Divine Whip lightly.
A pure heart? Shouldn't it be that one has no sword in hand but a sword in heart? Although you are a senior, have you paid the copyright fee for altering someone else's famous saying?
However, Senior Jiang is also correct; Ghost Fangzi must have used some kind of illusion spell earlier. Moreover, within illusions, there exists the ability to confuse the mind. After all, I was truly prepared for death just moments ago.
"Young Master, you can activate your Spiritual Sight to block those illusionary attacks," Mingyue said from the side.
Right! I still have Spiritual Sight! How could I forget about this spell? While Spiritual Sight may not be as effective in active attacks, it does have a restraining effect against illusion spells.
The highest level of Spiritual Sight is called the Eye!
Eye of Dao!
Generally speaking, there are two types of eyes: one is innate, which means it is born with special abilities. For example, the famous Erlang Shen, Yang Jian. The other type is acquired through cultivation.
There is also a special kind that one obtains through fortunate coincidences, resulting in extraordinary vision. For instance, the Fiery Eyes and Golden Vision that emerge from the Alchemical Furnace!
Fiery Eyes and Golden Vision are not exactly eyes but can be considered a form of Spiritual Sight; however, that type of Spiritual Sight cannot grow.
Of course, not everyone who enters the Alchemical Furnace will gain Fiery Eyes and Golden Vision. It is also possible to end up with two useless stones instead.
My Spiritual Sight is ready to be activated. The first stage of Spiritual Sight is actually quite understandable; simply put, it is the Yin-Yang Eye. Of course, an innate Yin-Yang Eye does not count as Spiritual Sight; it is merely a spirit communication constitution.
Currently, my Spiritual Sight contains divine light within my eyes. However, when I can project this divine light from my pupils, that will be very close to reaching the eye's realm.
Although my Spiritual Sight has not yet reached the realm of Dao Eye, it is more than sufficient to block illusions.
"Yin Zheng'an, step back," Ginger Daoist said. "This is not something you can interfere with."
Indeed, if I were to compare myself to Ghost Fangzi's true form right now, I would still be too weak. However, watching Senior Jiang and Ghost Fangzi fight has been quite helpful for me.
Seeing that Ginger Daoist had already freed himself from his confinement, Ghost Fangzi was not planning to use the same trick again. After all, Ghost Fangzi is a senior to me, and he couldn't bring himself to target me repeatedly.
"Ginger Blindman, I didn't expect you to come out to deal with me," Ghost Fangzi said in his unique voice.
"I didn't expect you to actually escape from the Eighteen Layers of Hell," Ginger Daoist replied.
"Are you planning to send me back?" Ghost Fangzi asked with a smile, looking at me and Ginger Daoist.
"This is no longer my era," Ginger Daoist responded. "So you are not my target."
"So, we won't be fighting after all?"
"I have only one goal," Ginger Daoist said, lightly pressing his hand on my shoulder.
"And that is?"
"Hah," Ginger Daoist smiled mysteriously.
"I understand," Ghost Fangzi shook his head and said, "It seems he is the target I must eliminate."
"I won't give you the chance before he grows up," Ginger Daoist said. "You are just sharpening your knife on this child."
"Aren't you afraid that my stone is too hard and will break your knife?"
"You don't need to worry about that. But right now, it's not the time for you and him." With that, Ginger Daoist handed the Divine Whip to me, then donned his Daoist Robe and disappeared with Ghost Fangzi.
"Take care of yourself, Ghost. Your current strength is still too weak. Go train well for a while. After ten days, someone will come for you. When you return, it will be the day of your battle."
I couldn't understand the conversation between Ghost Fangzi and Ginger Daoist at all, and I was even more confused about who came to pick me up at the end. Where was I supposed to go? And who was the one coming for me?
However, Ginger Daoist had no intention of explaining anything. He simply disappeared with Ghost Fangzi. From his demeanor, it seemed that I was still not a match for Ghost Fangzi, but he wouldn't help me deal with him; that was still my own task.
In other words, Ghost Fangzi actually represented the obstacles on my path to growth. As long as I couldn't defeat him, it would be over for me.
But from the looks of it now, it seemed like things with Ghost Fangzi had come to a temporary conclusion. The Demon Tomb was clearly there for the body of the Golden Crow.
The body of the Golden Crow had already flown away. From the way the Golden Crow spoke, it seemed that it wasn't being controlled by Ghost Fangzi; rather, it appeared to be a case of borrowing a corpse to return to life!
Borrowing a corpse to return to life means that another soul is using a body to act.
Of course, there are many types of borrowing a corpse to return to life.
At a lower level, it's just a temporary borrowing; once that soul leaves, the body returns to its original state. At a higher level, the soul can borrow that body for an extended period. Generally speaking, that soul should have some connection to the body.
For example, this soul and body could be original partners!
Another type is similar to the Corpse-Feeding Ghost's "borrowing a corpse to return to life." This involves permanently borrowing someone else's body. However, since a body is still a body, it will decay over time. If the body's vitality remains, there won't be much impact.
But if the body has started decaying due to the presence of Corpse Qi, then there's nothing that can be done. The soul borrowing that body would only be reduced to ashes!
I didn't know what condition the Golden Crow's body was in, but it would definitely become a formidable enemy for me in the future!
After all, it was on the same side as Ghost Fangzi; there was no escaping that!
However, right now, what troubled me most wasn't these matters but rather Zhang Fan!
Zhang Fan has been possessed by Ghost Fangzi's Severed Soul, and I don't know how he is doing now. When I left, his condition was not good.
The Evil Energy has entered his body; if it had been for a shorter time, it might have been manageable, but Zhang Fan has been possessed for quite a while!
Although Shaoming is by Zhang Fan's side and her Sun True Fire has the ability to digest Evil Energy, she is still not very skilled at controlling it. I fear that Shaoming may not be able to combat the Evil Energy effectively.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Mingyue looked up at me and asked.
"Let's go outside first. By the way, Mingyue, can you transform back to your original form?"
"That's easy." Mingyue made a gesture and transformed into a beam of light, returning to the Pouch at my waist.
With the wind beneath my feet, I directly exited the Demon Coffin.
Once out of the tomb passage, I entered the room where I had previously played Wudao Chess.
Zhang Fan, who had been lying on the ground, had already been helped to rest against the wall. Shaoming was pressing on Zhang Fan's Heart and Dantian to prevent the Evil Energy from invading those two areas.
"Zheng An?" Lin Zhao stood up to greet me. "How did it go?"
"I would say it's resolved," I waved my hand dismissively, not wanting to elaborate too much, mainly because I didn't want Lin Zhao and the others to worry. After all, this matter involved Ghost Fangzi seeking revenge specifically against me.
"How is he doing now?" I asked Shaoming.
"I can only suppress the Evil Energy, but I cannot draw it out."
"What is his condition now?"
"The viscera is not a big problem, but his meridians are almost ruined."
"Meridians..." I said, feeling troubled.
For an ordinary person, meridians are also very important. Cultivation emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, and the human body is no exception.
Everything related to the balance of yin and yang is connected to the meridians and acupoints. Not to mention a cultivator's meridians; all spellcasting and cultivation must go through the meridians.
The viscera being fine means that Zhang Fan's life won't be in immediate danger.
However, if there are issues with the meridians, it indicates that his cultivation path may very well be interrupted. Although Zhang Fan is a pure physical Berserker,
without the involvement of the meridians, no matter how resilient Zhang Fan is, it won't matter!
I crouched down and pressed one finger on Zhang Fan's dantian area.
The dantian is located just below the navel. This is the first acupoint that a cultivator must open, and it is also the easiest point to channel mana into.
Unlike the mana of an ordinary cultivator, my mana is Azure. This Azure comes from the three points of Azure Flower in my mana circulation diagram.
Azure mana not only differs in color from ordinary mana but also has a significant effect against evil energy. Moreover, Azure mana has additional healing effects compared to regular mana.
The mana flowed into Zhang Fan's dantian, coursing through his meridians.
Zhang Fan's meridians were black, so dark that they seemed to turn the entire meridian into blackness, like a gas pipe stained black by grease smoke.
"This is tricky," I muttered with a frown.
“Ango,” at that moment, Zhang Fan weakly said.
“Stop talking, it’s annoying.”
“Ango, I know my own situation,” Zhang Fan said with a faint voice, “My meridians must be ruined.”
“Don’t talk!” I shouted, “I’m treating you. Don’t worry, leave everything to Ango.”
In fact, I knew that even if I expelled all the dark energy from his body, Zhang Fan would still be affected in his future cultivation path.
“Shaoming, lend me a strand of your Sun True Fire.” I extended a finger towards Shaoming.
If it were true Sun True Fire, I still couldn’t control it with Samadhi Fire. However, right now, Shaoming’s Sun True Fire was not yet true Sun True Fire. Even so, that flame was more suitable for expelling Evil Energy than my Azure Lotus Flame.
“Master, here you go.” Shaoming opened his mouth and spat out a strand of flame.
I gently flicked my hand, and that strand of flame directly entered Zhang Fan’s ear.
