Chapter 218 Gathering the Souls of Nine Baby Boys
Li Rou's face turned even paler, but she understood that if she wanted to be a qualified maid, she had to obey orders unconditionally.
Besides, Miss is a sorcerer, and there will definitely be more similar things happening in the future. She can't stay in such a lowly position forever, as it would embarrass Miss and hold her back.
So she gritted her teeth and suppressed her fear: "I understand."
However, Chief Constable Song couldn't stand it anymore: "Doctor Yu, Miss Li is different from us. She's just an ordinary person. It's normal for her not to dare to look at the corpse. Why force her?"
Yu Zhiyi did not answer the question: "Let's go in and take a look."
For a moment, Constable Song's expression turned sinister, but he quickly regained his previous serious and reliable demeanor.
Yu Zhiyi walked around the morgue, carefully examining the condition of the deceased. Head Constable Song asked anxiously, "Well? Has Physician Yu noticed anything?"
Yu Zhiyi looked at him strangely: "When did Officer Song become so impatient? I remember you weren't this reckless the last time I saw you."
Constable Song's eyes flashed, and he immediately explained with a bitter face, "Doctor Yu, you may not know this, but my son is about to get married. I am worried that if we do not catch this vicious thief soon, my future daughter-in-law will meet with misfortune."
This explanation makes sense.
Yu Zhiyi nodded: "Let's go back."
Officer Song was taken aback: "You're going back already? Aren't you going to continue the investigation?"
Yu Zhiyi stretched and said, "It's too late. It's not good for women to sleep too late; their skin will become rough."
Officer Song's lips twitched.
"Oh, by the way, bring me the birth dates and times of these deceased people tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
After returning to Yiluan Charity in a sedan chair, Yu Zhiyi turned and went into the shop before Song, the constable, and the others left, showing no awareness of maintaining proper social etiquette.
Outside Yi Luan Charity, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the figures of Constable Song and his men disappeared into the darkness, their shadows appearing somewhat distorted.
Hongluan has returned and wanted to tell Yu Zhiyi about what happened today, but Yu Zhiyi waved her hand and said, "I have something to do. Let's talk about it in a couple of days."
Hongluan was taken aback: "Is there something troublesome?"
Yu Zhiyi nodded: "There is a little, but it's not a big problem."
After thinking for a moment, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and put it into Hongluan's hand, instructing her: "This is an attack jade pendant, containing the power of three bolts of lightning, which is the nemesis of all evil spirits. If you encounter an attack that is not within human range, do not hesitate, just take out the jade pendant and hold it in front of you. Just shout 'Explode' to activate the power inside."
Hongluan's relaxed expression suddenly turned serious.
She could tell that her friend was really in a tough situation.
There was nothing she could do to help, so she could only nod and say, "I'll remember."
Yu Zhiyi added, "Until the problem is resolved, you'd better not leave the city or wander around the streets. If possible, it would be best to take a leave of absence temporarily."
It's no wonder she was so cautious; the power of the person behind the scenes far exceeded her expectations.
It's not that she couldn't beat her opponent, but rather that she had no way to completely overwhelm her.
The feeling that her power was not superior to that of her enemies made her very uneasy.
She wasn't worried about getting into trouble herself, but rather that the person might harm the people around her.
During this time, she had been using spiritual energy to temper her body, but she still hadn't improved her cultivation level.
It seems that improvement is no longer an option.
In her previous life, she never encountered so many cultivators until her death. Unexpectedly, after being reborn, she not only met the chief disciple of Longhu Mountain, but also two evil cultivators in less than a year.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
In her past life, she seemed to be blinded by a single leaf, believing herself to be the most powerful metaphysical master in the world.
Only now do I realize that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
Putting everything else aside, that heretical cultivator alone could cause her a lot of trouble.
It's not that evil practitioners can harm her, but rather that they can harm the people around her, even innocent people.
That night, Yu Zhiyi sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated.
Unlike before, when she simply used spiritual power to repeatedly temper her body, strengthen and expand her meridians, today she directly drew upon the golden light of merit she had previously stored up.
She had already accumulated dozens of golden rays of merit, but had not used them. After returning from Caonan Village, she sent Cao Zhaodi to be reincarnated, captured several vengeful ghosts from the Cao family, and brought Cao Yaozu to justice.
In addition to Li Qingmiao, who came later, and all those people whom Yi Luan Charity helped during this period.
She has now accumulated hundreds of strands of golden light from her accumulated merit.
She usually absorbed these golden lights into her body, so ordinary people couldn't detect them.
But at this moment she emitted golden light, and from her appearance she looked like a golden Buddha.
Yu Zhiyi closed her eyes and extracted the golden light bit by bit, refining it into spiritual power, which she then slowly channeled into her dantian.

The Imperial Palace.
Looking at the old woman before her, Consort Yu was still somewhat wary, but her anticipation clearly prevailed: "Master, is this really foolproof?"
"Don't worry." The old woman looked at the few tiny souls in front of her, her hoarse voice full of confidence: "As long as we gather the souls of nine male infants, refine them into a pill and consume it, the feminine characteristics of the child in the Empress's womb will disappear, and he will become a boy again."
Consort Yu's eyes lit up: "Thank you for your hard work, Master. I will definitely thank you properly when I give birth to the prince!"
She will give birth next March, and there are still a few months left, so she needs to take good care of herself during her pregnancy.
Once the prince is born, His Majesty's favor and power will all be returned to her hands!
The old woman's cold eyes looked at the greed in Consort Yu's eyes, and a mocking smile flashed across her gaze.
Stupid woman.
Although she didn't kill the ghost, he came to Shengjing for her mission.
How could she possibly let this woman go, since she was the catalyst for his death?
The idea that a pill can make a fetus lose its female characteristics is nothing but a lie to fool this foolish woman.
What she really wanted was...
Suddenly, she paused, looking at the distant sky with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
The once clear sky suddenly became stormy with clouds.
Streaks of purple lightning were hidden behind the clouds, mysterious and awe-inspiring.
The old woman was utterly shocked: "Someone has actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"
The number of cultivators in the Great Sheng Empire is not large, and the vast majority are hovering in the early stage of Qi Refining.
Some are lucky enough to make it into the mid-game.
Throughout her cultivation journey, she has encountered no more than a dozen late-stage cultivators.
These people are all elites from major sects or high-ranking members of smaller sects.
In the Great Sheng Empire, experts at the Foundation Establishment Realm are considered to be at the very top of the pyramid!
These people are undoubtedly like auspicious omens guarding the mountains of various sects.
How did it end up in the tiny Great Sheng Empire?
