"Boss, who drew this thing? Really unethical, look at how they've messed up the room."
"How can anyone live in this?"
The fatty couldn't help but complain as he looked at the weasel blood drawing in front of him.
Zhang Tian simply exclaimed, "Good heavens," the fatty's face is truly thick.
"This is a typical blood sacrifice, using human blood to worship an evil entity."
Taoist Yimei said, and the boss's face changed.
"Ever since that foreigner started staying here, our inn has often seen guests scared away, or worse, die from fright."
"The whole inn is now in a state of panic. I wonder if this has anything to do with the sacrifice you mentioned."
The boss quickly explained, fearing he might miss even a single detail.
"It does. The evil entity inside likely wants to absorb living people to strengthen itself."
Taoist Yimei said with a serious expression.
Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the door opened.
Seeing this, the boss and Li Yuanyuan's faces were filled with shock.
The door had just opened by itself, without any wind.
"As expected, a true master."
The boss rejoiced in his heart, spending five hundred thousand to befriend a master seemed like a bargain.
As the door opened, even the two ordinary people without cultivation felt a strong chill.
At the same time, a deathly aura began to spread around.
Taoist Yimei entered first.
With a flick of his whisk, the surrounding aura dissipated.
There was no pressure at all.
It was as if a max-level expert had entered a novice village, posing no difficulty whatsoever.
"Is this... a spell?"
The boss exclaimed in shock.
Seeing it with his own eyes was more impactful than any rumor.
Taoist Yimei puffed out his chest.
He said confidently, "Just a few minor tricks, nothing worth mentioning."
As he spoke, the surrounding aura dispersed, and in the dim light, a shadow suddenly stood before them.
The shadow seemed to have materialized out of nowhere, standing abruptly by the window.
"What is that?"
Seeing the shadow by the window, both the boss and Li Yuanyuan were startled.
They instinctively took a step back.
"It's just possession. However, I didn't expect someone to be so clever as to place a corpse-nourishing bead by their bedside, knowing they were about to die."
"Consider it a blessing for their afterlife."
As Taoist Yimei said this, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
"Wait, this bead... it looks so familiar. Isn't this from Huang Shuliang's tomb?"
Thinking this, Taoist Yimei narrowed his eyes and looked at the fatty.
Had his favorite disciple done something abominable again?
"Corpse-nourishing bead? What is that?"
The boss asked suspiciously.
Li Yuanyuan was also curious.
Before Taoist Yimei could speak, the fatty quickly stepped forward.
"The corpse-nourishing bead actually has another name: the body-nourishing bead. It nourishes the body, lubricates the meridians, and at the same time, repels evil and drives away demons."
"It's very beneficial for the body."
The fatty said with a straight face.
Taoist Yimei's eyes widened. That scoundrel could actually utter such shameless words.
Truly, he could twist the blackest of deeds into something white in reality.
Simply insane.
"This..."
Taoist Yimei wanted to say something, but Zhang Tian pulled him back.
The boss then asked with a puzzled expression.
"Then, why doesn't this guest here exhibit the beneficial effects you mentioned?"
Clearly, the boss wasn't easily fooled.
"Hey, boss, we are professionals. Don't speak carelessly if you don't understand."
The fatty made a gesture indicating that the boss didn't understand, and then continued.
"This body-nourishing bead only works on good people. It has spiritual awareness. For example, if you perform good deeds, it will be effective. Conversely, if you are a bad person, it will have the opposite effect."
The fatty spoke with utmost seriousness.
Seeing the boss's increasingly doubtful gaze, Zhang Tian knew that the fatty had truly learned from Da Jin Ya.
The world of deception would soon have another genius.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't we deal with that guy first?"
Under the dim light, Li Yuanyuan pointed at the shadow not far away.
"Easy! Master, you do it."
The fatty said, then quickly retreated, leaving the task of action to Taoist Yimei, while he would handle the posturing.
Taoist Yimei's face turned green. This was truly a disgrace to his lineage.
This fatty was a real pain.
Having said so much, Taoist Yimei couldn't really refuse.
With a wave of his whisk, the shadow let out a scream.
Then, in the lamplight, a black, malevolent energy was drawn out. Accompanied by a shrill sound, the entire room gradually warmed up.
"Alright, the demonic entity has been cleared. Turn on the lights."
Taoist Yimei didn't want to say anything more. The boss and Li Yuanyuan swallowed hard.
The thing that had tormented them so much was simply dispelled by a wave of his hand.
It was like the power of a celestial being.
At that moment, both of them were greatly shaken.
The boss had initially thought that the whisk in Taoist Yimei's hand was just an ornament, but now he realized its true power.
"Thank you, Heavenly Master. Thank you, Heavenly Master. May I know your esteemed name? I will certainly visit again another day."
The boss said earnestly. To have met a master, fifty thousand was a small price, a hundred thousand would still be worth it.
"My Taoist name is Yimei. You can just call me Taoist Yimei."
Taoist Yimei said, and this time he didn't utter his usual golden phrase.
He just wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
His gaze fell upon the figure in front of him.
The foreigner was now undeniably dead.
And near him lay a piece of red weasel jade.
Because it had absorbed too much blood, the white jade had turned red.
And it emanated a stronger sense of malevolence.
With a wave of Taoist Yimei's hand, the jade pendant fell into his palm.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Taoist Yimei looked at the fatty.
"Master, this is a Rat-Year Guanyin, it's very powerful, it can ward off evil and bring good fortune..."
The fatty said, but even he lacked confidence.
Good heavens, warding off evil? The whole room was full of malevolence. Bringing good fortune? The person died directly.
Taoist Yimei took a deep breath.
He decided that when he returned that night, he would discuss with his Grand Master about permanently barring this fatty from the sect.
"This jade has absorbed too much blood essence, it cannot be kept."
"Your affairs here are now concluded. This Heavenly Master is tired."
With a wave of Taoist Yimei's hand, the jade pendant turned to dust.
The surroundings also returned to their former state.
The boss smiled and nodded eagerly.
"Heavenly Master, where do you reside? I'd like to visit in the future."
The boss quickly asked.
"On Longteng Mountain."
With that, Taoist Yimei waved his hand, and he was gone.
"This... Young Master Zhang, where did the Heavenly Master go?"
Seeing Taoist Yimei disappear into thin air, both of them were astonished.
Zhang Tian waved his hand, looking calm.
"Master has returned. Master is very mysterious and lives in seclusion on Longteng Mountain. Boss, you must keep this a secret."
Zhang Tian said, and the boss thumped his chest.
"Absolutely. How could I possibly tell anyone about this? Don't worry."
"Oh right, I'll get you the money right away. One million, right? I'll get it to you immediately. Please continue to look after me in the future."
The boss said and hurried downstairs.
"Boss, this owner is really enthusiastic."
The fatty said from the side.
"Mmm, but fatty, you might never be able to enter the sect again. You've angered your master."
Zhang Tian said with a smile. The fatty rubbed his head.
"Master cares about Fatty too much, that's why he's so concerned. He loves Fatty."
The fatty said, causing Zhang Tian to break out in a sweat.
Meanwhile, downstairs.
The boss quickly made a phone call.
"Old Zhao, quick! I've found a true master, he's incredibly amazing!"
