Chapter 96 Brother, let’s talk
It is not easy to enter the Dao, and learning is even more difficult. Some people are gifted and independent from a young age, while others are naturally mediocre and never become a master throughout their lives.
"The master didn't teach you or you didn't learn well."
Qin Qinsen frowned unwaveringly, rarely putting on a serious expression.
"Master doesn't know either..." the young man stammered.
The private room fell completely silent.
After watching Qin Qinsen's various skills flow so smoothly, everyone almost forgot that in today's society, the Xuanmen sect has declined and many traditions have long been cut off. Not only have the skills been lost, but the charlatans are also everywhere - even their reputations have been tarnished, let alone their inheritance.
Qin Qinsen sighed and asked, "So what did you originally plan to do after you snatched the jade pendant?"
He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything, obviously he didn't think that much.
"Nanxing, help me prepare something."
Fang Nanxing had just finished comforting the guests and hurried to the private room. As soon as the door opened, he received Qin Qinsen's instructions and immediately agreed. Within five minutes, he re-entered the room with something in his hands.
"Brother Qin, is he possessed by a ghost? He was so violent that he broke two doors, three chairs, and smashed a food cart..." Fang Nanxing counted the losses today on his fingers.
Qin Qinsen dipped the tip of his pen into cinnabar, bent down, and motioned the boy to come closer to take a look.
"He was under the spell of the female ghost, providing her with yang energy and essence as nourishment, while also treating her as the love of his life. If anyone interferes, the person under the spell will unleash extreme destructive power and risk their life to protect the female ghost."
The young man nodded as he listened, his face full of "I've learned it." Then, Qin Qinsen picked up his pen and drew the talisman while explaining it. His strokes were clear and smooth, his movements slow and steady, and it was a pleasure to watch.
"This is for calming the soul." After finishing the first half of the talisman, Qin Qinsen explained, "The next step is to clear the mind and concentrate the spirit."
The boy's eyes followed the tip of the pen, and he looked much calmer.
"You majored in talismans?"
Hearing this, Qin Qinsen paused for two seconds before putting down his pen and said, "No."
After saying that, without giving the young man a chance to speak, he directly placed the talisman on the man's forehead and asked, "If it were you, what would you do next?"
The sudden question interrupted the boy's desire to explore, and he turned to think along the lines of Qin Qinsen's question.
The people in the room watched quietly, seemingly wanting to learn how to help others exorcise evil spirits.
Without thinking for long, the young man said affirmatively, "First, use talismans to dispel the evil spirit, and then use magic to concentrate the mind."
"The talisman already has the effect of dispelling evil spirits and concentrating the mind. Why do we need to use magic to do it again? It's redundant."
"You didn't even perform a ritual when drawing the talisman, so the effect will definitely be greatly reduced. Naturally, you need to use magic to consolidate it and prevent the backlash of the Yin energy."
"Just because you haven't mastered cultivation yet, you think everyone in the world is just as half-baked as you?"
Qin Qinsen pressed the yellow talisman with one hand and snorted softly. A flash of light passed by, and the man who had been struggling and roaring suddenly stopped.
"Brother Mu!"
Before the boy could object, he sprinted forward happily, "Are you okay?"
"Something's wrong." The man spoke, the yellow talisman swaying along with his movements. "Who tied me up?"
His eyes scanned everywhere, finally settling on Qin Qinsen, who was closest to him.
"Brother, let's talk it over. Kidnapping someone is not a good idea."
"Let's not talk about anything else for now." Seeing that the man was sober, Fang Nanxing stopped the boy from untying the rope and came to the two of them, holding up the bill and receipt. "The damage list, the total price, and the compensation for our mental damages to Yixiangzhai, the total is about... 246,000. Cash or card, no debit accepted."
"What?" the man was shocked. "Someone come and tell me what happened!"
Qin Qinsen removed the yellow talisman from the man's forehead, which no longer shone, and threw it to the young man, saying calmly, "Exorcise evil spirits and concentrate the soul, clear the mind and calm the spirit. I will accept your favor of three hundred thousand. I will only accept bank transfer."
“So expensive!”
The boy exclaimed, "You still say you're not a liar!"
"Didn't your master teach you to spend money to ward off disasters and resolve karma?" Qin Qinsen returned to sit next to Teng Su and wiped his hands with a hot towel.
"That's not three hundred thousand..."
"Are you from the secluded sect that hides in the deep mountains and forests? The kind that hasn't been in the world for a hundred years?" Ji Qi was puzzled.
These days, skilled and reliable masters are incredibly hard to find. Without connections and luck, you'll never meet one. Even in the entertainment industry, those so-called masters often charge a 66,000 yuan red envelope for calculating the date for a filming start. And what's more, Qin Qinsen was summoning a ghost messenger and catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.
If any one link in the series of operations is taken out separately, the market price will be at least one million.
Three hundred thousand is basically a gift for free.
"Then, then I will become your disciple and help you as your apprentice?" The young man rubbed against Qin Qinsen and said shamelessly.
Unexpectedly, Qin Qinsen's opening words were a blow. "Only exceptional talents can join my sect. You are not qualified."
"Xiao Wen, don't be fooled." The man twisted his body, trying to break free.
Hearing the unpleasant words again, Teng Su said unhappily, "Find another ghost to play with you, and you don't have to charge the 300,000."
"No, no, no." The young man waved his hands hurriedly. "Brother Mu is just worried. There are so many scams these days, it's always better to be careful."
Ji Kai was very dissatisfied after watching such a big show, and his voice unconsciously rose. "I say, will you guys stop lying? You keep telling lies. Tell me, is he possessed by a ghost? Was he taken away by the ghost messenger sent by Master Qin? Is he back to normal now?"
Xiao Wen nodded in agreement, "Brother Mu, you were possessed by a ghost. It was only thanks to this master's help that we were able to escape danger."
As Xiaowen explained, the man's expression changed constantly. Without saying anything more, he simply accepted the two bills.
"Muyunqi?"
Fang Nanxing was surprised when he saw the name signed on the bill.
"Well, what's wrong?" Mu Yunqi kept rubbing the marks on his arms and wrists, puzzled.
"Mujia?"
"Ah, I know you, Teng Su." The money was paid and the bill was accepted. Mu Yunqi sat at the table and looked around.
Except for Qin Qinsen, all the others were familiar faces.
"My name is Mu Yunqi, the illegitimate son of that old man from the Mu family." Mu Yunqi said to Qin Qinsen very frankly, "Thank you, Master."
"illegitimate child."
Hearing Qin Qinsen's chuckle, Mu Yunqi was used to it, thinking that it was another child from a noble family who looked down on him. Who knew that the other party would open his mouth and say -
"A cat replaces a prince; a woman's heart is the most vicious. Mu Yunqi, just because you don't fight or compete doesn't mean there will be a good result."
Everyone present was smart, and Qin Qinsen's words were like a bomb.
"What does it mean?" Mu Yunqi didn't dare to think about it.
"Where did the jade pendant come from?"
"That old man's wife gave it to me and him, saying we each get one."
Qin Qinsen sneered, "A pair of jade pendants bought at the Luo family charity auction, one for you and one for your brother, right?"
A picture appeared on the phone screen: a pair of jade pendants resting on red velvet. The left one was flawless white, with only a red mark running down the middle, a truly unique sight. The right one was a deep, dark green, radiating a mysterious luster that made it clear at first glance it was no ordinary piece.
