After sorting through her memories, Jiang Yue was so angry that she couldn't sleep. After clearing away the ghostly energy from her body, she turned on the light and looked at her room. The original owner's room had many more things than a normal person's.
There were statues of deities for worship, and some talismans were arranged around them. Jiang's parents knew the original owner's situation very well, and the original owner usually carried talismans with him.
These talismans all possess magical power; they're not just for show. They can easily handle a minor ghost without any problem. Otherwise, they wouldn't have died if they encountered the idiot protagonist.
However, relying solely on talismans isn't a long-term solution. The original owner of this body had a set of cultivation techniques in her memories, which were taught to her by her father's friend, who was also the creator of these talismans. However, the original owner never learned them due to poor health and low comprehension. In addition, she was always protected by talismans, and she never went to places with few people or returned home late, so she was always safe and sound.
Jiang Yue recalled the cultivation technique and mastered it in less than five minutes. Unfortunately, there was too little magical power in the world, so she only managed to reach the first level of Qi Refining. After mastering the technique, she would have magical power to nourish her body, and it wouldn't be long before she recovered her health and wouldn't be in this sickly state now.
This world is different from other worlds. Jiang Yue can't be too powerful yet. A small Karami won't affect the overall situation, but if Jiang Yue becomes too powerful, the balance of Yin and Yang will be disrupted. If Jiang Yue becomes powerful as a human, then the Heavenly Dao will have to make the ghost side even more powerful, because it can't become powerful out of thin air. At that time, it would consume the world's origin. Originally, Yin and Yang were in balance, but once the balance is lost, the world will collapse quickly.
No, I can't think about this anymore. I need to adjust my mindset. The previous world still has some influence on me. It seems I need to calm my mind. I sat cross-legged and chose a scripture to begin reading silently:
Lao Tzu said: "The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to heaven and earth; the Great Dao is without emotion, yet it governs the sun and moon..."
After reciting the Pure Land Sutra, Jiang Yue calmed down and turned off the light to go to sleep. The next morning, Jiang Yue felt someone touching her forehead while she was half asleep. She reached out and touched it, squinted and saw that it was her mother's hand. She grabbed her mother's hand, rubbed her face against it, and then turned over to continue sleeping.
She vaguely heard what Aunt Jiang said, but because her body needed sufficient sleep for automatic repair, and her mind also needed sleep, she slept straight until five o'clock in the afternoon.
The moment Jiang Yue opened her eyes, her stomach started growling. She felt like she could eat a whole cow right now. The moment she got dressed and opened the door, her mother looked over.
"Yue'er, how are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"Mom, I'm better now, I don't feel bad anymore, but I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?"
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Your dad was so worried when he left this morning. If you hadn't woken up by the time he got back, I would have taken you to the hospital."
"Go wash up first, brush your teeth and wipe your face. Don't wash your hair yet, wait until you feel better. Mom will heat up your food, there's beef and fish, which are your favorites."
"Thank you, Mom."
After Jiang Yue finished using the toilet, brushing her teeth, and washing her face, her mother had already heated up the food and made her a bowl of shredded pork noodles. Jiang Yue was starving and ate very quickly.
Jiang's mother told her to eat slowly. Jiang Yue was still not full when she finished the fish. After confirming that she wasn't lying, Jiang's mother fried her a large steak. Only after eating that did Jiang Yue feel about 80% full. This appetite will probably continue for a while until she recovers.
"Yue'er, why are you eating so much today? Should we go to the hospital to see a doctor?"
"I'm fine, Mom. Do you remember the martial arts technique that Master Mingzhen once taught me?"
"Hmm, Mom remembers. Is it related to this? Does it mean you've mastered it?"
Jiang Yue nodded: "I woke up last night and couldn't fall back asleep. I was thinking that I always feel sleepy when I practice this technique, but I didn't expect to actually succeed this time!!"
"Then I cultivated all night and didn't go to sleep until morning, so I was able to sleep and eat. After I mastered the technique, it kept nourishing my body, and I'll probably eat a lot for a while afterward."
“It’s okay if you eat more as long as you’re feeling better. Your dad and I have been worried sick about you all these years. Why didn’t you tell us about something this important earlier? Let me call your dad and tell him.”
"Let's talk about it when my dad gets back. He might get excited on his way home and something might happen."
"Yes, yes, Mom is so excited. Let's talk to your dad when he gets back. We also need to tell Master Mingzhen that he has been the one who has helped you with your health all these years, and he also taught you the exercises. He is your teacher."
The mother and daughter studied the cultivation method that Jiang Yue practiced. Actually, it was Jiang's mother who was more curious. Jiang Yue demonstrated it to her. Jiang Yue practiced her internal energy and Jiang's mother observed that the true power of the first level of Qi cultivation cannot leave the body and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
After a while, Jiang's father returned, and Jiang Yue told him the good news. Afterwards, the family happily went out for a big meal. After returning home, Jiang's father contacted Master Mingzhen and told him about Jiang Yue's entry into the practice of qigong.
Master Mingzhen was delighted to hear the news, but he was too busy to come over. He then asked Jiang Yue if she had any questions about the cultivation method. Jiang Yue asked a few questions at a pace that would be normal for an ordinary person.
Afterwards, Master Mingzhen taught her the next two levels of the cultivation method and sent her several videos showing how to draw talismans. Once Jiang Yue learned them, she could draw them for herself and also sell them for money.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Jiang sighed, saying that the best thing he had ever done in his life was not to leave Master Mingzhen to die when he was injured. He didn't know how much Master Mingzhen had helped them along the way.
It was quite a coincidence that when he was young, Master Mingzhen went down the mountain to travel. Because he was young and inexperienced, he was tricked and framed by evil spirits and was seriously injured and fell into a coma at the foot of the mountain. When he was young, Jiang's father was a salesman. Once, in order to close a deal, he went to visit his sick mother for a client in the middle of the night. Because he had to work the next day, he had to rush home overnight.
He got an upset stomach halfway through his journey, and there were no public toilets on this dirt road, so he had to drive to the side and find a secluded corner to relieve himself. When he turned on his headlights, he saw Master Mingzhen lying next to him, covered in blood.
According to Mr. Jiang's description, he hesitated for a long time about whether to save the person or not. In the end, his good intentions prevailed. After carrying Master Mingzhen into the car, he took the person to the hospital. Just in case he was afraid of saving a bad person, he also called the police.
Afterwards, he even paid the Taoist priest's medical expenses. It was because of this act of saving a benefactor that Jiang's father achieved his current success, able to afford a house, a car, a wife, and children. Jiang Yue also owes a lot to Taoist priest Mingzhen for being able to live to this age.
