Righteous Qi

At this moment, Yun Qingyang had finished releasing the chicken blood. Then, he looked at the big tree in the yard, waved his hand gently, and spiritual energy shot straight to the trunk, cutting off a thick branch.

Yun Qingyang picked up the tree trunk, and with a constant flick of his spiritual energy, a wooden longsword was completed in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but ask, "Is this a peach wood sword?"

Yun Qingyang nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Shouldn't a peach wood sword be made of peach wood? This tree is a maple tree," Ma Feifei said.

Yun Qingyang waved his hand and said, "It's all the same."

Ma Feifei was speechless.

Then Yun Qingyang took out some white paper from his spatial ring, spread it on the ground, and then dipped his wooden sword in chicken blood to start drawing talismans on the paper.

Ma Feifei walked over, squatted down beside her, and looked at the scribbles Yun Qingyang had drawn. Curious, she asked, "Is this drawing correct? I can't understand a single word of it."

Yun Qingyang rolled her eyes and said while drawing a talisman, "I still can't understand the characters you've written."

Ma Feifei shook his head and said, "That's different. Mine is cursive script; you wouldn't understand."

'Swish~'

After finishing one drawing, Yun Qingyang set it aside and continued drawing the second, saying, "Who cares if they understand it or not? We'll see if it works in a bit."

Ma Feifei picked up the talisman paper that Yun Qingyang had just drawn, glanced at it, and found that it was no different from ordinary paper. He sighed and said, "I advise you not to waste your energy and just give up on this idea. Let me see that book of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio from a Chinese Studio."

Ma Feifei was going to see what benefits that book of Strange Tales from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio could bring to its readers, and whether it contained any such things as scribbled talismans or peach wood swords. If not, then even if Yun Qingyang killed ten thousand chickens and drew ten thousand talismans, it would be useless.

Since the system doesn't provide this capability, it's impossible to transform the virtual into the real.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyang immediately assumed that Ma Feifei wanted to steal the book of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and quickly refused, saying, "No, I haven't finished reading it yet. There are still many spells I haven't learned and many ghost stories I haven't read. I can't give it to you."

Ma Feifei was speechless and said, "I'll just take a look, I won't take yours."

Unfortunately, Ma Feifei's reputation wasn't very good, Yun Qingyang didn't believe him at all.

What else could Ma Feifei say? She could only reply, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for not helping you! Take your time, I'm going to Rest."

Ma Feifei Yawn, got up, and went to her room.

Yun Qingyang glanced at Ma Feifei, then lowered her head and continued fiddling with her scribbles.

The next day, the Bookstore was open as usual. In the morning, Ma Feifei was surprised to find that Yun Qingyang had not appeared.

I thought Yun Qingyang was sleeping in, but when I asked Zhang Yunji, I found out that Yun Qingyang had opened the Bookstore door early in the morning and gone out.

This puzzled Ma Feifei greatly, because as far as Ma Feifei knew, since the day Ma Feifei met Yun Qingyang had never left Ma Feifei to act alone, and this was the first time he had encountered a situation like today.

Ma Feifei suddenly felt a little worried.

Just then, Gongsun Qiong came to visit.

Gongsun Qiong's purpose was simple: to report to Ma Feifei on the upcoming Pokémon Championship's date and format.

Ma Feifei listened absentmindedly, then nodded to indicate that he had no objections. As the president of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, Gongsun Qiong could easily organize such a competition, and there was nothing to criticize.

After discussing the competition, Gongsun Qiong didn't rush to leave. Instead, she looked at Ma Feifei and said, "Shopkeeper, why do I feel like something has changed about me, but Taiqing what that change is? Can you answer my question?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

Gongsun Qiong pondered for a moment and said, "After leaving the Analects, I suddenly felt as if everything around me had come to life—the spiritual energy, the flowers and plants, even the tables and chairs. I could even sense their joys and sorrows. What could be the reason for this?"

After hearing this, Ma Feifei was completely bewildered. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask...?"

The Analects only mentions that it can improve one's state of mind and increase one's aptitude Wuneng. It doesn't say anything else. And to be honest, Ma Feifei's understanding of the Analects may not be as profound as Gongsun Qiong's, after all, Gongsun Qiong is a reader who has completely absorbed the Analects.

But at this moment, Ma Feifei certainly couldn't say he didn't understand. So he put on a profound and inscrutable look and said, "It's probably because you've fully grasped the philosophy in the Analects, and your state of mind has been greatly elevated. After your state of mind has been elevated, your perspective on things must be different, which is why you can feel the joys and sorrows of all things."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Qiong felt that what Ma Feifei said made sense. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "Now that you mention it, I have gained some insights. However, besides these, I seem to have a mysterious aura hidden within me. Although this aura is not Spiritual Power, it is much stronger than Spiritual Power. Last night, I even used this aura to kill a strange creature."

When Ma Feifei heard Gongsun Qiong suddenly mention "strange objects," he couldn't help but ask, "Slay strange objects? What are they?"

Gongsun Qiong pondered for a moment and said, "It has no physical body; it's an illusion, difficult for ordinary people to see and impossible to hit. But its appearance is no different from a normal person, except that its face is pale, ferocious, and terrifying, especially frightening. Oh, and the strange creature we encountered last night was wearing mourning clothes."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei's expression immediately changed, and she said, "You actually ran into this too!"

Gongsun Qiong looked puzzled.

Ma Feifei sighed and said, "Actually, I encountered that too."

Gongsun Qiong looked surprised and said, "You ran into the shopkeeper too?"

Ma Feifei nodded and said, "That's right. Actually, strictly speaking, the strange thing you encountered is somewhat related to me. If I'm not mistaken, it probably came out of a book in the Bookstore."

"A strange object that jumped out of the book?" Gongsun Qiong said in shock.

Ma Feifei shook her head and said, "Those aren't called strange objects. The book calls them ghosts. In that book, after people die, they transform into ghosts and need to go to the Netherworld to reincarnate. However, some ghosts are unwilling or unable to reincarnate, so they wander in the human world, hiding during the day and appearing at night. Because they are souls, ordinary people cannot see them with their naked eyes."

"Ghosts..." Gongsun Qiong murmured to himself.

"What you encountered was likely a ghost that had achieved some level of cultivation. Based on your description, she should belong to the category of vengeful spirits, and is extremely ferocious," Ma Feifei explained.

Although Gongsun Qiong was intelligent, he was still a little bewildered when he heard such a magical story for the first time.

"But since ordinary people can't see it, why can I see her? And I can feel the ghost I met last night. She seems to be afraid of approaching me." Gongsun Qiong asked doubtfully.

"You can see her, and she's afraid to approach you?" Ma Feifei frowned, looking at Gongsun Qiong, and asked, "You just said you killed that vengeful ghost last night? How did you kill it?"

Logically speaking, ghosts are invisible to ordinary people, and ordinary attacks have no effect on them. This can be seen from the Spirit King realm cultivator who died the night before last. Even with such a high level of cultivation, he was still unable to harm him. It is unbelievable that Gongsun Qiong, a woman without any cultivation, could kill a fierce ghost.

Gongsun Qiong recalled for a moment and said, "Actually, it wasn't complicated. I just took a spirit sword and stabbed it in the chest, and it hit her."

"That's so simple?" Ma Feifei was taken aback.

Gongsun Qiong nodded and said, "Yes, it's very simple. It's just that the aura within my body suddenly erupted at that time, and it seems to be related to that aura as well."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei subconsciously glanced at Gongsun Qiong's chest, then went into the system panel and asked the system what was going on.

"Righteous Qi!"
