Treasure-Trove Oil Field

"Master, please!" Once he learned that the other man came from Yuan Tiangang's family, Lu Siye instantly became enthusiastic and hurriedly invited the two men into the living room.

He wasn't being so warm to Yuan Mou because he came from a prominent family. He was simply curious about what methods the Yuan Family, renowned for its divination arts, actually had.

After entering, Yuan Mou didn't sit down right away. He looked around, then finally turned his gaze toward Lu Siye's bedroom.

"Little friend Lu, time is precious. Please ask the young lady in the inner room to come out and meet us." Yuan Mou smiled at Lu Siye as he spoke.

"Of course!" Lu Siye nodded and went into the bedroom.

Once he was out of the other man's sight, Lu Siye's eyes flickered.

When he filed his report, he hadn't mentioned Fang Lanyue's gender. So why did Yuan Mou know she was a woman?

Could he have divined it?

At the wardrobe, Lu Siye didn't waste time. He simply pulled Fang Lanyue out and brought her into the living room.

As soon as he set her down, Fang Lanyue darted behind Lu Siye, peeking out with one eye as she timidly watched the two strangers.

"Miss, would you be so kind as to give this old man a strand of your hair?" Yuan Mou asked unhurriedly, a kindly smile on his face.

"Here!" Fang Lanyue glanced at Lu Siye, then cautiously plucked out a strand of hair and slipped it into his hand.

"She's a little timid." Lu Siye smiled apologetically and handed the hair to Yuan Mou.

"Not a problem!"

Yuan Mou accepted the hair, sat cross-legged, and held it over his compass as he formed a hand seal.

When he finished the seal, the hair split in two, then spontaneously burst into golden flames.

After the flames faded, Yuan Mou stood with a smile and said to Fang Lanyue, "Miss Fang, both your Shuangling and You Jing souls are present, and you bear no human lives. You meet the Town Demon Suppression Division's standards. Congratulations!"

"That's it? You only needed a strand of hair? And you're done?" Lu Siye asked, somewhat unsure.

He'd just been getting ready to observe closely and see if he could secretly learn a thing or two. It had ended almost as soon as it began.

"Indeed. With an item belonging to a young lady, the Yuan Family can divine the important events of her past." Yuan Mou nodded.

The Yuan Family's diviners only calculated simple matters, so it was quite quick.

"Sir!" At some point, the man behind Yuan Mou had opened the briefcase and taken out a palm-sized jade disc. He handed it to Yuan Mou.

Yuan Mou accepted the disc and said to Fang Lanyue, "Miss Fang, this item is called the Spirit Nether Jade Disc. It can gather Yin energy and also serve as a dwelling for a Yin spirit."

As he spoke, he placed the jade disc in Fang Lanyue's hand. Then he reached out and tapped her forehead, drawing out a pure white thread from within her and guiding it into the disc.

Fang Lanyue suddenly felt a strange connection between herself and the jade disc in her hand, as if she could enter and leave it at will.

Yuan Mou smiled faintly, then took a green-covered manual from the man and continued:

"This item is called the Yin Spirit Manual. It is a orthodox ghost-cultivation method of Jiuzhou. I only have the first volume, which can help the young lady cultivate to the level of a Vicious Ghost. She'll need to go to the Town Demon Suppression Division in person to receive the remaining volumes."

Yuan Mou then took a step to the side and pointed at a phone and two small porcelain bottles in the briefcase behind him.

"There's also a phone specially made by the Town Demon Suppression Division, for the exclusive use of Yin spirits, as well as ten Yin Gathering Pills for cultivation. The Blood Replenishment Pills that Little Friend Lu exchanged from the Division are in there too."

After he finished speaking, the man closed the briefcase and handed it to Lu Siye.

"Our business is finished. We'll take our leave." Yuan Mou nodded politely to the two of them, then turned and left.

"Take care, Master!" Lu Siye watched him enter the stairwell before closing the door.

When he turned around, he saw Fang Lanyue, who had been so timid before, crouching in front of the briefcase. She held the Spirit Nether Jade Disc in her right hand and the Yin Spirit Manual in her left, staring excitedly at the phone and little porcelain bottles inside.

"Um! Are all of these for me?" Fang Lanyue looked at Lu Siye with wide eyes and couldn't help swallowing.

Lu Siye walked over, picked up the two little porcelain bottles, and shook them. He took the one with fewer pills, then told her, "They're all yours."

"Woohoo!" Fang Lanyue jumped with joy, put the two items in her hands into the case, then started touching everything in turn.

Lu Siye left the excited Fang Lanyue to her own devices. Looking at the little porcelain bottle in his hand, he pulled out the stopper and poured out a Blood Replenishment Pill.

He sniffed it. It had a faint herbal scent, but he didn't notice anything else.

Looking at the Blood Replenishment Pill in his hand, Lu Siye didn't eat it right away. He planned to use the system to enhance it first.

Before he did, though, he needed to find a way to keep Fang Lanyue from seeing.

Lu Siye's gaze settled on the Spirit Nether Jade Disc, and he came up with an idea.

"Fang Lanyue, that jade disc is going to be your home from now on. Don't you want to go inside and take a look?" Lu Siye said, walking over to her.

"Oh, right!" Only after he reminded her did Fang Lanyue remember. She grabbed the disc, and her whole ghostly form turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished into it.

Once Fang Lanyue had gone inside, Lu Siye crouched down expressionlessly, picked up the disc, and put it in the briefcase. With a click, he locked it, then sent the whole case straight into the system space.

Mom! Why did it get dark in here? Fear Points +86!

Ah! Why can't I get out? Fear Points +76!

I'm doomed, I'm doomed! Am I going to be trapped in here until I die? Fear Points +88!

Listening to the notifications by his ear, Lu Siye couldn't help grinning. What a treasure-trove oil field!

Ignoring someone's screams, Lu Siye went to the sofa, poured out a Blood Replenishment Pill, and began enhancing it.

"Would the host like to spend 30 Fear Points to enhance the Blood Replenishment Pill?"

"Yes!"

Lu Siye answered. A red gleam flashed across the pill in his hand. It became smoother and glimmered faintly with a dark-red sheen.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You obtained Blood Replenishment Pill +1!"

Lu Siye pinched the Blood Replenishment Pill between his fingers, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

A gentle surge of vitality and blood rose within him. Lu Siye quickly steadied his mind and began refining it.

A little over ten minutes later, Lu Siye opened his eyes. He felt that his vitality and blood had recovered by about a tenth.

The effect was decent, but it still couldn't compare to the pill Meng Jianmin had given him.

Lu Siye took out another Blood Replenishment Pill. This time, he wanted to see whether he could enhance it repeatedly.

After spending 30 Fear Points to enhance it once, Lu Siye silently willed the system to enhance it again.

"Would the host like to spend 150 Fear Points to enhance Blood Replenishment Pill +1?"

"Yes!"

After the corresponding amount of Fear Points was deducted, the gleam appeared again, and the pill in his hand began turning dark red.

A little over ten seconds later, the pill, which had originally been black, had turned completely dark red. It looked just like the Blood Spirit Pill he had seen in the Town Demon Suppression Division's exchange shop.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You obtained a Blood Spirit Pill!"

It only took two enhancements to make a Blood Spirit Pill. What would happen if he kept enhancing it?

"System, enhance it again!" Lu Siye cried out, his eyes burning with excitement.

"Would the host like to spend 1,000 Fear Points to enhance the Blood Spirit Pill?"

"Hiss!" Lu Siye drew in a sharp breath.

He glanced at his Fear Points. Thanks to Fang Lanyue's efforts, they'd just passed the six-thousand mark. But at this rate, he could only enhance five pills at most.

"No!" Lu Siye hurriedly refused. For now, breaking through to Night Wanderer Envoy was more important.

With that in mind, Lu Siye took out the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and spent 2,000 Fear Points to enhance the fourth level of the technique.
