She Seems Rather Ordinary
"But she seems rather ordinary."
Fang Zelin hesitated before saying, "Although the old Daoist priest had said before that one cannot completely judge the formation time of such things."
There may be other ways to enhance one's spiritual cultivation.
But at this moment, looking at the female ghost in front of him, Fang Zelin did feel that she wasn't particularly powerful.
The old Daoist priest was taken aback. "You have a way to deal with this female ghost?"
Could it be that this fellow Daoist possesses a treasure bestowed upon him by his master?
He also had something for self-defense, but it was only for protection.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin paused for a moment and then reached out his hand. Bearing the Heavens immediately flew into Fang Zelin's hand.
Judging from the old Daoist's appearance, this female ghost seems to be extremely powerful?
Fang Zelin was somewhat uncertain, and at that moment, he directly poured his Spiritual Power into the Bearing the Heavens Sword.
"Buzz"
In an instant, the originally plain and unadorned sword suddenly emitted a shimmering light, and a powerful sword aura rippled outwards.
Bearing the Heavens appeared extremely excited at this moment.
Every day, he had to conceal his sword aura, making himself look nothing like a spirit swordsman, which made him look extremely ugly.
Now she has finally returned to her original form, and it seems her father is preparing to slay the evil spirit.
Thinking about it this way, Bearing the Heavens became even more excited.
The entire spirit sword trembled at that moment.
The old Daoist priest standing to the side was completely dumbfounded.
What just happened? Isn't this a fellow cultivator of the same generation, like myself, who came down the mountain for training?
Where did the other party get such Spiritual Power?
What's with this spirit sword in my hand? Why does it feel so sentient?
The oppressive sword aura, in particular, made it hard to breathe.
The female ghost, who had been looking fierce in the distance, was now stunned.
He sensed the aura emanating from the spirit sword in Fang Zelin's hand, which had locked onto him firmly, as if it would strike him at any moment.
Water droplets continued to drip from her already wet hair.
Even the water droplets paused for a moment.
"Master, please spare my life!"
The female ghost moved her lips with difficulty, then quickly begged for mercy.
Just by sensing that Qi Force, she knew that if that sword were to fall, she would surely be annihilated.
How could a female ghost who had only been dead for a little over ten years possibly withstand such a blow?
"Oh?"
Fang Zelin was about to strike with his sword, but upon hearing the other party's plea for mercy, he immediately paused.
"Since you are already dead, why do you still remain here to harm and kill people?"
Fang Zelin stared at the female ghost and questioned her.
Feeling stared at like that by Fang Zelin, the female ghost suddenly glared fiercely at the other members of the Wang Household standing to the side.
He then recounted the whole story.
The matter is actually quite simple. The female ghost was originally a maid in the Wang Household family, who was forcibly taken by the head of the Wang Household family one day.
Such things are common, but after the maid became pregnant, she aroused jealousy, and people worried that her child would be born and take a share of the family property.
Therefore, they acted secretly.
At this point, the female ghost pleaded earnestly with Fang Zelin, "I beg the Daoist priest to investigate and grant me revenge!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
As soon as the female ghost finished speaking, a woman from the Wang Household became anxious, probably because Fang Zelin was with her.
He immediately rebuked, "It was clearly you who, due to your indiscretions, used underhanded means to commit adultery with the master!"
"Afterwards, we called a doctor to prescribe medicine for you, but you secretly drank it! You think you can hide such a petty trick from us?"
The woman's sharp words enraged the female ghost beside her.
With a flick of his wrist, a gust of yin wind began to gather in his hand.
But when Fang Zelin looked over, the female ghost's expression froze, and the yin wind in her hand dissipated.
As Fang Zelin listened to the conversation between the two sides, he secretly shook his head.
This matter should be handled by the county magistrate.
"Since you are dead, come with us. As for the person who harmed you, Wang Household, would you mind taking your men to the government office yourself?"
Fang Zelin spoke, he glanced at the Wang Household head standing to the side.
When the head of the Wang Household met Fang Zelin's gaze, he was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly.
Given the abilities Fang Zelin was demonstrating at that moment, he truly dared not offend him.
Seeing the other party nod, Fang Zelin immediately put away Bearing the Heavens.
Bearing the Heavens seemed somewhat dissatisfied at this moment. It had only just appeared, hadn't even shown its power yet, and it was already over?
No matter how dissatisfied it was, Fang Zelin still suppressed its spiritual light and put it back behind him.
"Fellow Daoist, please put her away."
After Fang Zelin finished, he said something to Yang Xiang.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiang quickly stepped forward, put the female ghost into the gourd, and then the two left the palace one after the other.
After leaving the Prince's residence, the old Daoist priest looked at Fang Zelin with some curiosity, his face full of hesitation.
"Senior, now that you have already inquired about the Dao, why bother toying with this junior in that manner?"
"Why did you use the word 'teasing'?" Fang Zelin asked, puzzled. However, he also knew that something seemed to have gone wrong in their previous conversation.
For example, this fellow Daoist in front of me doesn't seem to have any Spiritual Power?
"Senior has already succeeded in seeking the Dao and gone to the Seeking Dao Mountain. I have only been traveling down the mountain for more than twenty years and know very little. I imagine that you know much more than I do, so why ask me questions with that attitude of someone who has just entered the mortal world?"
The old Daoist priest said with a helpless expression.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood him earlier.
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I had always cultivated alone before, and somehow ended up at the Seeking Dao Mountain, where I began my cultivation journey. Naturally, I know nothing about cultivation, which is why I am seeking your guidance."
The old Daoist priest was stunned upon hearing this, and looked Fang Zelin up and down with suspicion in his eyes.
"Did you succeed in your cultivation on your own?"
The old Daoist priest gaped, his face filled with disbelief.
This person has succeeded in cultivation on his own; is he really that terrifying?
There was absolutely no intention to deceive.
Fang Zelin nodded seriously upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest was momentarily at a loss for words.
After realizing that Fang Zelin had no intention of deceiving him, the old Daoist thought for a moment and then told Fang Zelin what he knew about cultivation.
"Immortal sects begin teaching their disciples from a young age. After a certain age, they are sent to the mortal realm for thirty years of training. During these thirty years, the sect observes the disciples' character and cultivates their ability to distinguish right from wrong, among other things."
"If they pass the trial, they will be summoned back to the mountains to begin teaching the path of cultivation."
"I have now completed twenty-eight years of training, and my time is almost up."
At this point, the old Daoist priest's face was full of emotion. Thinking back to the days he spent cultivating in the mountains, he felt that his memories were becoming somewhat hazy.
I've almost forgotten many things from the mountains.
I don't know if all my years of experience will be enough to pass.
