Everyone turned their heads to look at Luchuan, and the atmosphere on the scene became tense.
One of Qi Tiangang's disciples stared coldly at Luchuan, disdainfully saying, "My master's reputation in the world of metaphysics is well-known, his level is universally recognized in the industry. What are you, dare to question his judgment here?"
Luchuan responded calmly, "I wouldn't dare to question Master Qi's level, but that doesn't mean Master Qi couldn't be mistaken."
Qi Tiangang's expression also turned cold as he looked at Gu Hongzhuang and asked coldly, "Miss Gu, what do you mean by this?"
Gu Hongzhuang didn't expect Luchuan to suddenly make such a scene, so she quickly apologized to Qi Tiangang, "Master Qi, this is my younger brother, he's a bit impulsive, please don't take it to heart."
She pulled Luchuan's arm and said angrily, "Don't cause trouble!"
Luchuan shook his head, "I'm not causing trouble, he really didn't see the root of your problems, I just don't want you to be deceived."
Qi Tiangang snorted, "Deceived? I've been practicing feng shui for decades, and this is the first time I've been accused of such a thing!"
His disciples were all furious at Luchuan.
"Kid, you're asking for death! Believe it or not, we'll cripple you right now!"
"Master, we'll take care of this ungrateful brat for you!"
...
Qi Tiangang waved his hand and looked at Luchuan, asking, "Since you think I've made a mistake, why don't you tell us what the root of Miss Gu's problems is?"
Without wasting any words, Luchuan turned his head to look at Gu Hongzhuang, grabbed her wrist where she wore a bracelet, and raised it up, "The root is right here!"
Qi Tiangang asked, "You mean this bracelet?"
Luchuan nodded, "That's right!"
Qi Tiangang sneered, "It seems you really don't know anything about this! I have a compass here, it's a magical tool that can sense Yin and Sha energy. Just now, I used the compass to check this bracelet, and there was absolutely no problem. Do you think I would make such a low-level mistake in my profession?"
The pointer on the compass remained still, showing no changes.
He looked at one of his disciples, "Go get a painting."
The disciple immediately ran to fetch a painting.
Qi Tiangang brought the compass closer to the painting, and the pointer on the compass instantly began to tremble, indicating that there was something impure on the painting.
"Now what do you have to say?"
Gu Hongzhuang also became a little annoyed and shouted at Luchuan, "Apologize to Master Qi!"
Luchuan ignored her and took off the bracelet from Gu Hongzhuang's wrist, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it fiercely.
Gu Hongzhuang's face changed, "Luchuan, what are you doing! Do you really think I won't be angry?"
Luchuan smashed the bracelet and said, "See for yourselves!"
Everyone lowered their heads and saw that inside the shattered bracelet beads, there were hideous little skulls, mixed with some dark green substance emitting a foul smell.
These little skulls, when they appeared, made the entire villa feel eerie.
Gu Hongzhuang was startled, never expecting such terrifying things to be hidden inside her bracelet. She quickly hid behind Luchuan.
The pointer on the compass began to tremble violently, and with a bang, it broke apart.
Qi Tiangang's face changed drastically, and he took a few steps back in shock, tremblingly pointing at the things on the ground, "Human bones, corpse oil... This... this is black magic from the South Seas!"
"Miss Gu, someone wants to kill you!"
A cold wind blew, and the little skulls trembled violently, emitting a strong evil aura, gathering into a fierce and terrifying female ghost with sharp teeth, reaching out with purple, withered hands towards Gu Hongzhuang.
"Give me your life!"
Seeing this, Qi Tiangang immediately took out a bronze mirror and aimed it at the female ghost, fixing it in place.
Luchuan glanced at Qi Tiangang and thought that this old man still had some skills.
"You guys, run away! This is a powerful evil spirit nurtured by black magic. It's a rare evil thing in the world. I won't be able to hold it for long. If you don't leave now, none of us will survive!" Qi Tiangang shouted.
Qi Tiangang's disciples had never seen such a situation before, and they were all scared to death, almost wetting their pants.
Hearing Qi Tiangang's words, they immediately fled from the villa.
At that moment, the mirror in Qi Tiangang's hand suddenly shattered, and the female ghost regained its movement, screaming, and all the doors of the villa closed, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open them.
Qi Tiangang sat on the ground, his face full of despair, "This is bad, this evil spirit is so powerful, we're all going to die today..."
At this moment, Luchuan approached him, reached out his hand and took out the yellow talisman paper and cinnabar pen from him, "I'll borrow these."
He quickly drew a complicated spell on the yellow talisman paper, then bit his own hand and dripped three drops of blood on it.
The symbols on the yellow talisman paper instantly emitted a golden light.
Luchuan took the yellow talisman paper and rushed to the female ghost, sticking it on her forehead.
The female ghost was instantly enveloped in golden light, emitting a miserable scream. Streams of black energy emerged, but in the blink of an eye, they were purified by the power of the talisman.
The villa returned to calm once again.
Luchuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The spell he just drew was called the Exorcism Spell, which could deal with relatively low-level evil entities.
He walked up to Gu Hongzhuang, whose face was pale, and asked, "Hongjie, are you okay?"
Gu Hongzhuang's body trembled slightly, and she forced herself to say calmly, "I... I'm fine."
Luchuan nodded, then went to clean up the broken bracelet on the ground.
He looked at Gu Hongzhuang and asked, "Hongjie, who gave you this bracelet?"
Gu Hongzhuang gritted her teeth and said, "Long Hao!"
Luchuan suddenly realized that Long Hao probably didn't have much affection for this lover raised by his dad.
At this moment, Qi Tiangang walked over, his eyes fixed on Luchuan.
Luchuan asked, "Master Qi, what's wrong?"
Qi Tiangang knelt in front of Luchuan with a thud, kowtowing heavily, "I have eyes but fail to recognize a true expert, please forgive me, sir!"
Seeing this, several of his disciples also rushed over and knelt down, kowtowing.
Luchuan quickly said, "Master Qi, you're too polite. I'm not a true expert, I just happened to have a way to deal with that female ghost."
Qi Tiangang said solemnly, "Sir, there's no need to be modest. The spell you just cast was like magic. Qi admires it greatly. Would you be willing to accept me as your disciple? I'm willing to serve you as a cow or horse without any complaint!"
Luchuan quickly helped Qi Tiangang up, "Master Qi, you're flattering me too much. I can't accept you as a disciple. If Master Qi is really interested, we can exchange contact information and discuss more in the future."
He thought to himself, you're already in your seventies or eighties. Even if I let you serve as a cow or horse, wouldn't you be lynched to death?
Qi Tiangang looked regretful, but he didn't insist. After exchanging contact information with Luchuan and complimenting him a few more times, he left the villa.
Gu Hongzhuang's gaze towards Luchuan changed again. She realized she had underestimated this guy.
Luchuan looked at Gu Hongzhuang and said, "Hongjie, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. You showed remarkable composure as a woman in that situation. It's truly admirable. I need to hurry and tend to my injuries. I won't disturb you any longer."
After speaking, he was about to leave.
Gu Hongzhuang grabbed him, biting her lip, "You can't leave!"
Luchuan was puzzled, "Is there something else?"
Blushing, Gu Hongzhuang lowered her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I can't move my legs. Can you carry me upstairs? Stay tonight. I... I'm a little scared alone."
Only then did Luchuan notice that Gu Hongzhuang's body was trembling uncontrollably. He reached out and touched her leg, finding it extremely stiff, a condition that could occur from excessive tension.
"So, the calmness just now was all an act. What a strong woman." Luchuan couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Luchuan smile, Gu Hongzhuang felt even more ashamed. As someone who was always authoritative and decisive, when had she ever felt so embarrassed? Annoyed, she snapped at Luchuan, "Laugh again and I'll tear your mouth to pieces!"
Luchuan quickly closed his mouth. Instead of carrying Gu Hongzhuang upstairs, he squatted down and used his spiritual power to massage her legs, quickly relaxing her.
After regaining mobility, Gu Hongzhuang looked at Luchuan with no good feelings and said, "You're quite unexpected. You helped me this time, so I owe you a favor. Whatever benefits you want, just ask."
Luchuan thought for a moment and said, "I need some medicinal materials to recover from my injuries. Could you please buy them for me, Hongjie?"
Gu Hongzhuang was slightly surprised, "Is it that simple?"
Luchuan asked back, "Otherwise?"
Gu Hongzhuang smiled, "Interesting."
"Write down the medicinal materials you need, and I'll have someone buy them for you."
Luchuan immediately wrote down the required medicinal materials. Since someone else was footing the bill this time, he raised the ages of these medicinal materials a bit.
Gu Hongzhuang was very efficient. In less than an hour, someone brought back the medicinal materials.
This made Luchuan sigh that having money was indeed great.
He used Gu Hongzhuang's kitchen to refine the healing medicine and began to recover using the pills.
The next morning.
In the room.
Luchuan, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them. The surging spiritual energy all over his body was absorbed into his body, and his aura quickly reached a new height.
After everything returned to calmness, Luchuan stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, excitement flashing across his face.
At this point, not only had his injuries healed, but he had also successfully reached the second level of Qi cultivation.
"If I encounter Lin Hu again, I'll be able to kill him within three moves!"
Knock, knock, knock.
The sound of knocking on the door rang out, and Luchuan walked over to open it.
Gu Hongzhuang stood outside the door, looking much better than yesterday.
Behind her stood a tall and burly man with an extraordinary aura.
"Let me introduce you. This is Zhou Long, a master of the fifth stage of internal energy. From now on, he'll be your bodyguard," Gu Hongzhuang introduced.
Luchuan looked surprised, "Hongjie, I don't need a bodyguard."
Gu Hongzhuang rolled her eyes, "You're injured, it's safer to have a strong person by your side. He's my man, you don't need to worry. Just consider it as repaying you for helping me yesterday."
Luchuan quickly said, "Hongjie, my injuries have already healed, I don't need protection, and... the fifth stage of internal energy, I might end up protecting him instead. You'd better let him go back."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Long snorted, "Kid, what are you pretending for? With my strength at the fifth stage of internal energy, do you really think you need to protect me?"
