"But crafting a spirit artifact is extremely difficult. This spirit artifact must have been passed down from their ancestors in Yinshan. Is it to test you by using something so precious?" Si Qianyu was very puzzled.
“First of all, they can’t control the ferocious beast within the artifact spirit, so this thing is neither useful to them nor worth discarding.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, “Rather than letting this thing stay with them, it’s better to release it and test my true strength.”
“The Three Heroes of Yinshan are quite troublesome. I’ll find them and kill them to eliminate future problems,” Si Qianyu said.
"Let's not. You should try to reduce your killing now. Leave the murders and robberies to me." Ye Xingchen said, "Let's go back to find Boss Wu. He's suffered an innocent disaster."
Something has happened in that small storage room.
The monster, which looked like it had been skinned alive, clung tightly to the door, desperately trying to squeeze its head inside.
Mr. Wu screamed in fright, clutching the lightning bolt in his hand as he confronted the thing.
Suddenly, the monster clawed at the door panel, and with a crack, the door panel with the spirit talisman attached was knocked away. It then pounced on Boss Wu.
Mr. Wu yelled and was about to throw the lightning-struck wood in his hand, but unexpectedly, due to his nervousness, the lightning-struck wood fell to the ground with a thud.
The monster revealed a ferocious expression and slapped at Boss Wu with its claw. If this claw landed, Boss Wu would probably be smashed into mincemeat.
At this critical moment of life and death, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, and then the monster's body seemed to be torn apart, arching backward with all its might.
It let out a terrified roar. The Pixiu behind it was the spirit that sealed it, and it was all too familiar with that aura.
However, he had been imprisoned in that dark and sunless place for who knows how many years. Now that he had finally escaped, he hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the thrill of killing, and now he was going to be locked up again?
Ye Xingchen and Si Qianyu appeared behind this thing, and the Pixiu in Ye Xingchen's hand emitted a faint glow.
But these wisps of light were deadly to the monster. In the end, it let out a resentful howl and was completely sucked into the Pixiu.
The spirit of the artifact is nurtured by the artifact, but this thing was too ferocious in life, so it was impossible to tame. Therefore, this was the weapon that the Three Heroes of Yinshan used to deal with Ye Xingchen.
As the object disappeared, Boss Wu knelt down with a thud, panting heavily.
He was truly on the verge of death just now. If that thing had actually stuck its head out, it could have separated his body from his corpse with just one bite.
Having narrowly escaped death, it took him a while to recover. He repeatedly thanked Ye Xingchen, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you..."
"You don't need to thank me. This whole thing started because of me. The person who released this thing was just trying to test my strength." Ye Xingchen sighed and said, "So I should be the one apologizing to you."
"Mr. Ye, what do you mean? Could you explain it more clearly?" Boss Wu looked at Ye Xingchen with a surprised expression, not understanding the meaning behind his words for a moment.
"This kind of ferocious creature couldn't have escaped on its own unless it was released by someone," Ye Xingchen said. "You and I have this connection, and they also want to use this to test my strength. Does Mr. Wu understand what I'm saying?"
"Who on earth is this person who actually..." Mr. Wu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"The Three Heroes of Yinshan." Ye Xingchen turned to look at Boss Wu: "Keep that piece of wood. It might save your life in a critical moment. But let's keep our distance from each other in the future. Otherwise, it won't do you any good."
After saying this, Ye Xingchen left with Si Qianyu, leaving Boss Wu alone in a state of confusion.
In a dark room, a man with a deathly pale face slowly opened his eyes. He sat cross-legged in front of a huge incense burner, from which faint wisps of smoke rose.
Beside him were two men of similar age, all three of them with faces as pale as paper, almost devoid of any color.
"Brother, has the spirit been taken back?" The one who spoke was Yin San, the one who asked Boss Wu to release the spirit.
“Yes, the artifact spirit has been resealed. It seems Ye Xingchen is quite powerful.” Boss Yin squinted his eyes: “We want to kill him to avenge the Zhou family, so we need to be careful.”
"The Chen family in Yanjing is interested in cooperating with us," Yin Lao Er said. "Moreover, the Chen family rose to power by stepping on the Ye family back then. Although Ye Xingchen has not acknowledged his ancestors, he is still a member of the Ye family."
"The reason Ye Jinyu died overseas was all the work of the Chen family, wasn't it?" Elder Yin said sinisterly. "It's fortunate that Ye Jinyu is dead, otherwise, with him around, how could the Chen family have their current status?"
"Brother, the medicine-making agent that Jiang Yongkang wanted was seized by the police. If we can't gather enough people with the Seven Yin Physique to make the medicine within a week, things might get complicated for Jiang Yongkang."
"Hmm, that is a problem. Jiang Yongkang is treating that old man from the Ye family, right?" Boss Yin stood up and said slowly, "It's alright, I've already asked someone to find a girl of suitable age again."
"As long as these medicine cauldrons are in place, it won't be difficult to refine the medicinal ingredients that Jiang Yongkang needs."
“But the police have already got their eyes on us,” Yin Lao Er said. “It was originally an unsolved case. Although the person was rescued, they still don’t understand what happened.”
"But a policewoman surnamed Bai kept pressing the issue, putting us in a very passive position."
“If necessary, we’ll deal with her. We still have a partnership with the Ghost Doctor. This time, we must refine the medicinal ingredient he wants.” Boss Yin slowly closed his eyes, his pale face devoid of any emotion.
Ye Xingchen had just gotten up in the morning when his grandmother told him that a girl surnamed Bai was waiting for him and had arrived very early.
Ye Xingchen was a little puzzled. He had a habit of taking a walk early in the morning to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, so he got up relatively early. It was only 5:30 now. What kind of girl would come to wait for him so early in the morning?
"That girl is really beautiful, no less so than Cheese Girl. Sigh, your mother must be having a hard time choosing a daughter-in-law." Grandma couldn't stop smiling.
"Grandma, let me go and see first. They're just ordinary friends," Ye Xingchen said, both amused and exasperated.
He hurried to the reception room, where he saw Bai Zilin engrossed in reading one of his grandfather's books.
My maternal grandfather's collection of books consisted mostly of ancient texts, which were displayed in the living room.
The book she was holding was a true account of a coroner from the Qing Dynasty, a biography written by a rather legendary coroner, which contained some insights into autopsies and directions for solving cases.
"You're here?" Seeing Ye Xingchen approach, she closed the book in her hand: "I'll borrow this book to take a look."
