Becoming God With Spirits - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: I’m Indeed Like Virgin Mary

Upon seeing her stunned expression, Zhou Kai said firmly, “99… 80… Otherwise, 70… 60…”

“You don’t have to sound me out. I only have one that was passed down from my mother. If it wasn’t for this…” Li Mengxiang retorted angrily before realizing that she had said too much. Thus, she shut her mouth immediately and stared at Zhou Kai furiously.

Zhou Kai was a little disappointed.

Just one? That’s nothing! I will only have a taste of it.

“Don’t go overboard. Pills are rare in the cultivation world. An Origin Fostering Pill has a price, but it’s not something money can buy.” Little Leopard Cat, who was an insider, pulled at the corner of Zhou Kai’s clothes.

Zhou Kai said with a smile, “Fine, one pill it is then. Well, you’ve clearly been targeted. The demon covets delicate young ladies like you. I have a chivalrous heart, so I will not tolerate this. Tell me about your plans.”

Li Mengxiang took a deep breath and suppressed her frustration before she said, “That Pen Spirit has been injured by my protection Dharma artifact. However, it has also used my aura on the Dharma artifact to locate me. It will definitely come to seek revenge on me when it’s dark. I’m a physiognomist, not a priest. I can only rely on you to destroy such a fierce spirit.”

Zhou Kai said, “Then you should give me some advice, right? I’m not afraid of it, but I won’t be able to chase after it if it runs away. I can’t always be the one protecting you, right? This Origin Fostering Pill won’t do.”

Li Mengxiang’s face darkened as she responded with a snort, “I have a way, but I’m afraid you won’t dare to do it.”

Zhou Kai replied, “That’s enough. Stop that nonsense. You’ve made a deal with a fierce spirit and a pill seem really complicated. Just speak your mind.”

Li Mengxiang said, “That fierce spirit made use of the Pen Spirit to harm people. It has used the principle of causality. There will only be an effect if there is a cause, and there will only be repayment if there is debt. Although it has used evil magic, it is also an improper self-defensive method. However, it has harmed too many people with that evil magic. There is an unbreakable bond between it and the object that helps it. We can make use of this bond to confine it so it won’t be able to escape.”

Zhou Kai’s eyes lit up. “That sounds good. We’ll play a game to attract it. He he… This is the cycle of karma and retribution. Where is that thing? We can go prepare now.”

Upon seeing Zhou Kai being so confident, Li Mengxiang muttered to herself before choosing to work with him.

She had no choice, as she had offended the fierce spirit and her aura had been targeted. Even if she were to run away now, the fierce spirit would catch up with her if nobody tried to save her. Then, only death would await her.

Soon, Li Mengxiang left with Zhou Kai and Little Leopard Cat.

Meng Hao, who had been ignored so far, looked at the shadows of Zhou Kai and the other two while opening his mouth, unable to say anything.

He had been scared out of his wits. Only when he moved abroad would he feel a sense of security.

After driving the BMW to the Anyang Institute, they saw that the situation inside the school was tight. Police officers were coming and going with a serious expression on their faces.

After all, two people from the school had died and one had gone crazy, which had caused a huge effect. Furthermore, there were many witnesses and photos of the scenes were being spread. It was too late to keep anything under control.

Two students had committed suicide, and one had gone so crazy that they couldn’t even get anything out of her.

However, regardless of how one viewed this, their suicide didn’t seem justified.

To be specific, the way those two had committed suicide was simply unbelievable. One of them had hung herself on the bed frame with the bedsheet, while the other had drowned in a washbowl.

From a theoretical point of view, this was an impossible way to commit suicide, as it was extremely hard to pull it off. The average person couldn’t do so without any help.

Zhou Kai didn’t enter the school. Instead, he waited by the roadside outside.

He had stayed long enough in this place. The only thing he found pleasurable in his heart was exploring this magical world.

After he’d been waiting for a while, a girl suddenly approached the BMW and knocked on the window.

Zhou Kai lowered the window and looked at her.

The girl whispered, “Are you Zhou Kai?”

Zhou Kai replied, “I am. And you are?”

The girl quickly gave Zhou Kai a black bag. “Sister Mengxiang told me to give this to you. She said that there’s something you want inside. Two police officers have taken her away for questioning.”

Zhou Kai raised his brows.

F*ck. Why did this happen?

However, he found this normal after thinking about it. After all, in a dorm of four, two students had died and one had gone crazy, but the last one was fine. Since this case had now spread widely, the police would definitely have to investigate it closely and couldn’t miss even a single clue.

It seemed that he could only rely on himself.

When he opened the bag, Zhou Kai saw a red pen, a notebook, and a small porcelain bottle.

The pen and the notebook were the objects of the fierce spirit, while the porcelain bottle should contain the pill.

This girl was bold enough to initiate the deal. Based on her attitude, I have to get this done properly.

“Alright. I’ve received her things. Go back and tell Li Mengxiang to cooperate with the police. She’ll be fine after she gets some sleep and wakes up tomorrow,” Zhou Kai said firmly.

The girl said, “I’ll tell Sister Mengxiang. However, she wants you to leave your phone number so that she can contact you.”

Ha! Women…

Zhou Kai curled his lips and told the girl his phone number. Then, he drove away in the car.

He returned directly to the villa in the mountains.

Since he could summon the fierce spirit anywhere, it would be better if he did so in his territory.

After all, there would be two evil thoughts there to help him.

If he were to kill that thing, he could feed the evil thoughts so that the two of them would know that they would be fed if they followed him. Then, he would use the two evil thoughts to improve his supernatural powers… This way, he would be killing three birds with one stone. How beautiful!

When he entered the ancient building, Tong Leqing appeared right away, bending over to greet him with a flattering look.

The enchanting woman still clung to her dignity. Although she had appeared, she stood still on the side with a look that urged one to ignore her indifference if they wanted nothing from her.

Zhou Kai ignored those two and dropped the things out of the bag before picking up the small porcelain bottle.

When he opened the red cork, an aroma emerged.

Little Leopard Cat sniffed at it. Although she pretended not to care, her eyes didn’t move.

“How am I supposed to eat this?” Zhou Kai said after he took a pill that seemed to be emitting white light out of the small porcelain bottle.

Little Leopard Cat quickly said, “Give me half of it and I will…”

Gulp!

Before she could finish, she was dumbstruck to see Zhou Kai stuff it directly in his mouth and swallow it.

Zhou Kai licked his lips and said disappointedly, “It’s a bit bitter. Tastes like Chinese medicine.”

“Idiot. This Origin Fostering Pill’s medicinal properties are activated very quickly, so it needs to be absorbed by Dharma circulation. You’re done for. You’ve wasted its medicinal properties. What a loser, what a loser!” While Little Leopard Cat’s heart ached, her eyes lit up.

Upon hearing her, Zhou Kai grinned. He took a few strides, picked up the long saber, held it behind him vertically, and stood straight.

At the moment, the heat within him was flourishing and his five viscera were burning. When that thought flashed across Zhou Kai’s mind, the Saber Qi swept over like a dragon, blocking the heat that was about to spread out of his body.

The heat floated and tried to permeate the air repeatedly.

In an instant, Zhou Kai felt his veins, bones, and flesh go through subtle changes.

He absorbed the medicinal properties and tempered the body through cultivation by Dharma techniques.

I don’t know much about cultivation, so I’ll just block it with the Saber Qi so these medicinal properties can do their job in my body. Since the Vertical Saber Erect Horse stance is a body-tempering method, even if I absorb it slower than the cultivation method, I can always absorb it as long as it blocks you and doesn’t let you escape.

Little Leopard Cat, who was sitting aside ready to move, was stupefied from waiting.

Surprisingly, not even a trace of medicinal aura had leaked out!

Are you a Pixiu[1]? What in the world! Ahhhhhhh…
