He didn't disturb her, but had someone bring a chair and sat outside to wait.
Qi Chengshuo's strength improved rapidly, and Ye Xianya didn't even sense his presence.
Inside the house, several villagers were vividly recounting to Ye Xianya the strange things that had recently happened in their village.
“Princess, since the beginning of this month, thirteen people have died in our village. The Taoist priests from Xuantian Temple have come several times to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits for us. The Jingzhao government has also sent yamen runners to investigate the case, but all to no avail!”
The Taoist priests and yamen runners told them to come and ask the princess for help, so the village head brought his men.
"The first to die was Granny Shen from the east end of the village. She drowned in the pond behind the village used for storing water. Next was Granny Hu, who lived on the mountainside behind the village. She hanged herself from the tree in front of her door. Then came Zhang Er, who lived in the north of the village. He fell headfirst into the water vat in front of his door and drowned. And then there was Xu Song, who died in the field outside the village. The cause of death was unknown; there were no external injuries, and the field was dry..."
As Ye Xianya listened, she made calculations, and finally saw a blurry figure in the calculated scene.
The village head, along with several villagers, looked at Ye Xianya with tense expressions, fearing that she wouldn't be able to find the reason either.
Thirteen people died in the village in just one month, and nobody knew if they would be next.
Lately, there have been many funerals in the village, and everyone is very scared. If this continues, the villagers may all have to leave the village.
However, since everyone has lived in the village for generations, they are reluctant to leave their homeland unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, the government has to be involved in matters like relocation.
Otherwise, they would be displaced people, without household registration and without a fixed place to live.
Nobody wants to live like this.
But with someone dying every one or two days, it was simply unbearable for everyone.
"Has anything unusual happened in your village in recent years?" Ye Xianya asked.
This is a tricky matter.
With her abilities, she could only deduce a blurry black shadow, which was quite strange.
"No, apart from the many deaths this month, there haven't been any abnormalities before!" the village head hurriedly replied.
"Has nothing unusual happened in the last twenty or thirty years?" Ye Xianya asked.
"Yes." Several villagers nodded quickly.
"After I finish the divination today, I'll go there myself!" The things she's divinationd so far are too vague to tell who the murderer is. If she goes to the village herself, she should make some new discoveries.
"Thank you, Princess!" the group quickly expressed their gratitude.
Ye Xianya sped up the divination, and since most of the questions asked were relatively simple, the answers were resolved in no time.
"Princess, Prince Duan has been waiting at the door for quite some time," a guard reported as he entered.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya quickly went outside and saw Qi Chengshuo sitting under the eaves.
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you come in?" Ye Xianya asked excitedly.
She hadn't seen Qi Chengshuo for over two months.
"I came for a while and saw you were telling fortunes, so I didn't go in to disturb you." In fact, Qi Chengshuo had been sitting at the door for an hour.
"Aren't you going to cultivate these next few days?" Ye Xianya asked.
"Yes!" Qi Chengshuo nodded: "The New Year is coming soon, I plan to take a few days off."
He has been working especially hard lately.
"Your strength must have improved a lot; even I can't see through you anymore," Ye Xianya said with some envy.
She can't continue to improve her skills now.
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengshuo touched his chest and said, "I have already fused more than 70% of this treasure. Once it is fully fused, I will be able to return to the Upper Realm. At that time, I will not only be able to recover all my strength from my previous life, but also be enhanced several times over because of this treasure. Lan Chenyin said that at that time, I will be the number one person below the God King."
As for whether it's true or not, Qi Chengshuo doesn't know. Anyway, if it can improve his strength, it's a good thing for him.
"How much longer?" Ye Xianya asked hurriedly.
"At most six months!" Qi Chengshuo was quite aware of this.
"Six months is not a long time, it will pass quickly." Ye Xianya's face was full of smiles: "In that case, the path to ascension will reopen in six months, and at that time, I will also be able to ascend to immortality."
The regrets of her past life can finally be made up for.
"Yes." Qi Chengshuo nodded with a smile.
"Besides me, there should be several other people in this world who can ascend. The Supreme Elders of my Taiyi Sect are all very powerful. Can I tell them about reopening the path to ascension in six months?" Ye Xianya asked.
"Of course!" Qi Chengshuo nodded.
“Then I’ll have Zhengzheng go to Taiyi Sect in a few days and tell them the news.” After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she suddenly slapped her forehead: “Look at me, I’m so happy I’ve lost my mind. There’s no need for Zhengzheng to go in person. I can just send a message to the Grand Elder.”
“Xianya, the world we are in now is just a small world. Lan Chenyin said that I am in charge of this small world. After ascending to the upper realm, one will become a celestial immortal. Above the celestial immortal is the golden immortal, and above the golden immortal is the superior immortal. Only after becoming a god can one go to the great world.”
After Qi Chengshuo finished speaking, he took out the golden booklet that Lan Chenyin had given him and placed it in Ye Xianya's hand.
"This is a cultivation technique from the Upper Realm given to you by Lan Chenyin. This technique can allow one to cultivate to the level of a god. You have already reached the limit of your cultivation. If you continue to follow the cultivation methods of this world, you will soon attract a tribulation of lightning. Therefore, you have stopped cultivating recently. But with this technique, things will be different."
Qi Chengshuo's face was full of smiles: "This cultivation technique can help you slowly transform the spiritual energy in your body into immortal energy. Immortal energy is a higher level of power than spiritual energy. It belongs to the upper realm. Not only will the rules of heaven and earth not interfere with it, but it will also make your ascension easier."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya immediately opened the golden booklet without saying a word. A burst of light flew out of the booklet and landed directly in Ye Xianya's mind.
One by one, large golden characters appeared in her mind.
Although this technique is very difficult, Ye Xianya can still understand part of it; at least she knows how to cultivate it next.
"It seems that the remaining spiritual herbs and fruits in my Qiankun bag will come in handy again. After the New Year, I will take Zhengzheng to search for the ruins of ancient sects," Ye Xianya said excitedly.
"I'll tell you the locations of those sects later." Seeing how happy she was, Qi Chengshuo knew that Ye Xianya was very satisfied with this cultivation technique.
"Okay!" Ye Xianya nodded.
With her current strength, there is no place in the world she cannot go. She doesn't need Qi Chengshuo to accompany her; she can go with Zhengzheng.
"Are you going to Egret Village later?" Qi Chengshuo asked.
