Just as Xu Yiming was looking at the old man with a hint of banter, he saw the old man suddenly form hand seals.
The next moment.
A Dharma seal gradually appeared...
Only to see that Dharma seal emitting a faint spiritual light, as if carrying immense might. A wave of intense oppression directly made both Xu Shengchuan and Xu Yiming feel their breathing choke.
It was as if a heavy force suddenly pressed down on them, making it somewhat difficult for them to breathe!
This scene instantly made Xu Yiming, who had originally been completely disbelieving, abruptly widen his eyes, looking at the old man and the Dharma seal in front of him with an incredulous expression.
"T-This..."
He opened his mouth, tongue-tied.
He had originally thought this old man was a Jianghu con artist and that his father had grown muddled in his old age to listen to and believe his trickery.
But looking at it now, it seemed not to be that simple...
Moreover, the scene before him gave Xu Yiming a vague sense of inexplicable familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before, yet he could not recall exactly when he had witnessed a similar situation.
"Dad, this..."
Xu Yiming could not help turning his head to look at Xu Shengchuan at his side.
Xu Shengchuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Elder Lin is a true man of the Dao. Not to mention Linchuan, even looking across the entire Jiangnan Province, Elder Lin is a premier expert!"
"With Elder Lin personally taking action, he will certainly be able to help you break the curse seal that someone planted inside your body."
It was visible that Xu Shengchuan was full of confidence in the old man, and it seemed he was not seeing this old man execute such methods for the first time; there was no overly astonished look on his face.
As for Xu Yiming, at this moment he also could not help beginning to doubt whether someone had indeed planted some curse seal upon him.
Right at this moment.
The old man suddenly let out a low shout.
Immediately following, the Dharma seal in front of him flashed with a sudden faint light and appeared above Xu Yiming's head, streams of spiritual light falling down from within that Dharma seal...
However, before those spiritual light streams could land on Xu Yiming.
A deep mark suddenly emerged between his brows and forehead, and that mark vibrated out a trace of profound ghost light, blocking those spiritual light streams entirely!
Seeing this scene, the old man's expression changed slightly.
Instantly, he clenched his teeth, suddenly biting his fingertip to force out a drop of essence blood, and then flicked it with his finger to land upon that Dharma seal.
In an instant!
The radiance of that Dharma seal flourished greatly!
The streams of spiritual light were as if pumped full of chicken blood, forcefully suppressing down the blocking trace of ghost light, to the extent that even the mark at the center of Xu Yiming's brow involuntarily trembled slightly...
Seeing this, the old man immediately breathed out a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself, That was close! I didn't expect the power of this curse seal to be so formidable; if not for me using essence blood to drive the Dharma seal, I wouldn't have been able to suppress this curse seal!
This ten million is truly not easy to earn...
The old man sighed inwardly.
Inside the rented apartment.
Ning Ruoxuan was sitting before an old desk reviewing her lessons, while Ning Wangshu sat off to the side closing his eyes to rest his mind.
At this time, Ning Ruoxuan picked up the electronic watch at the side to check the time, seeing that it was already past eleven o'clock at night, and thereupon got up to prepare to wash up.
However, she glanced at Ning Wangshu on the side, yet still could not help speaking out, "I'm going to sleep. Are you... are you going to make a floor bed or just sit here like this for the whole night?"
Hearing her younger sister's words, Ning Wangshu instantly surged with spirit, hurriedly opened his eyes, and said, "I'll just sit like this. Ruoxuan, you hurry up and rest then!"
Seeing Ning Wangshu say this, Ning Ruoxuan curled her lip and gave a light hmph, saying, "Whatever you want! You can love sitting for a night if you wish, I couldn't be bothered to care about you, hmph..."
Having spoken, she took her change of clothes and walked into the bathroom...
Ning Wangshu, however, smiled.
He naturally could tell that his younger sister was all bark and bite, otherwise she wouldn't have specially asked him whether he wanted to make a floor bed.
However, he would not puncture this point, or else his younger sister would definitely get annoyed.
[ ]
Seeing her walk into the bathroom, Ning Wangshu continued to close his eyes and rest his mind.
Before long, Ning Ruoxuan finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. She glanced at Ning Wangshu sitting leaning against the wall, hesitated for a moment, and secretly sighed.
"I really owe it to you, how could I have a brother like you..."
She muttered complaints in her heart as if full of grievances, looking rather helpless, but still walked over to the wardrobe on the side, pulled out a mattress pad from inside along with a blanket, and then strode right over to Ning Wangshu, tossing them directly to him.
With a straight face, she said stiffly, "Make a floor bed for yourself!"
Having said that, she turned and walked toward her own bed.
Ning Wangshu caught the mattress pad and blanket handed over by his younger sister, was stunned at first, and then a trace of a smile appeared on his face once more.
Although having a place to sleep or whether he slept mattered not at all to him.
He fundamentally did not need to rely on sleep to recover his energy; sleep was meaningless to him. Yet his younger sister's actions and her words made Ning Wangshu feel warm inside.
Even if his younger sister's tone was somewhat cold and hard, this still showed that she cared about him.
Thus, Ning Wangshu immediately responded, "Hey, good! Then I'll just make a floor bed right here..."
As he spoke, Ning Wangshu prepared to spread out the mattress pad.
Yet at this moment, he suddenly froze, raised his head to gaze out the window, his brows furrowing slightly. His expression instantly turned cold, his gaze holding bitter frost as he shouted, "Such audacity! Dare to move my curse seal? You're courting death!"
Ning Wangshu let out a cold hmph, instantly pinching a Dharma formula with his hand.
In a flash.
A Dharma seal formed in an instant, flashed with a faint light, and then rapidly vanished from sight...
Even though Ning Wangshu could currently only mobilize power at the peak Golden Core Stage level, possessing the curse seal he had previously planted inside Xu Yiming's body as a medium, casting spells across the air was no difficult task for him at all.
Meanwhile, Ning Ruoxuan, suddenly hearing Ning Wangshu's words, could not help starting in surprise.
Just as she was about to open her mouth with full suspicion to inquire, she suddenly caught sight of Ning Wangshu's motion of casting a Dharma formula, and saw that Dharma seal which appeared out of thin air and swiftly faded away. She instantly froze, her pupils involuntarily widening abruptly!
"N-Ning Wangshu, w-what was that just now?"
Ning Ruoxuan suddenly raised her head to look at Ning Wangshu with an expression of startled doubt. Following that, she abruptly recalled something and immediately spoke again, "And, what did you say just now... what curse seal? What on earth is going on?!"
Hearing this, Ning Wangshu recovered his wits. Seeing his younger sister staring straight at him, he could not help offering a sheepish smile, gave a light cough, and said, "Cough cough, well, Ruoxuan, this matter... it's a bit long to explain. Originally I planned to tell you in a few days..."
"Then you can explain it slowly! I have time, and I'm not in a hurry!"
Ning Ruoxuan took a deep breath, speaking with unyielding decisiveness.
"Alright then."
Ning Wangshu smiled, then glanced at his younger sister again, and said unhurriedly, "Actually, I didn't lie to you before. To a certain extent, I suppose I truly can be considered an 'immortal' now..."
Ning Ruoxuan started, frowning slightly, but she did not interrupt Ning Wangshu's words, nor did she mock what he said as far-fetched like before.
After all, she had just witnessed with her own eyes how Ning Wangshu merely made a bizarre motion with his hands, and then a very strange mark had suddenly appeared.
This indeed made her associate it with the magic and such from those Xianxia Dramas.
Seeing that her younger sister did not speak, Ning Wangshu continued, "Didn't you ask me before where I went during those months of 'disappearance'?"
"I'll tell you now: as far as you're concerned, I merely 'disappeared' for a few months, but as far as I'm concerned, I actually left Earth for a full nine thousand years!"
Saying this, a trace of bitterness could not help surfacing on Ning Wangshu's face.
Yet Ning Ruoxuan directly froze, her eyes widening in astonishment with an incredulous expression. "N-Nine thousand years?! And you left Earth?? Th-This, how is that possible?!"
