The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 178 I see you have extraordinary potential... (Bonus Chapter 3)

Before Yun Ran could react, the ginseng fruit spoke first: [Host, in this novel world, how come there are still places with thousands of years of malevolent energy?]

"What else could it be? It must be that the mystical families in this world are useless and there's no leader."

Unlike my world, where those places were where Qingfeng Temple disciples could gain experience after completing their apprenticeships, finding those powerful Yin Sha places now is harder than climbing to heaven.

If it were anything else, Yunran probably wouldn't interfere, much less say anything pointless.

But when it comes to purifying places of Yin and Yang, she has a wealth of experience and can offer some advice.

The blind Taoist priest was in low spirits. It was too difficult to purify these places. His family had been working hard on this matter, but with little success.

Although the reasons for doing so are no longer recorded in detail, the younger generations of the family have always kept their mission firmly in mind.

He finally found a purification array in a tattered ancient book, and the Nine Yang Grass was one of the most important materials.

"I see. I know this well. I'll give you a handbook later, it'll be very helpful."

The blind Taoist priest's expression remained unchanged, but his hazy gray eyes stared straight in Yun Ran's direction.

The ancestors of the Han family did try to get help from others, but all they got in return was ridicule.

Some people say they are stupid, others say they are just seeking fame and fortune, and very few people actually help them.

Because of this, the members of their family stopped telling outsiders about it and just quietly did what they were supposed to do.

Perhaps it was because the burden was too heavy, or perhaps he felt that Yunran was a very reliable person who would not laugh or ridicule him even if he couldn't help, that he told her the truth.

Hearing Yunran's words, the blind Taoist priest was truly comforted at this moment.

"Really? Then I'll have to trouble you then."

He didn't place all his hopes on a girl a decade younger than him, and calmly accepted Yun Ran's kindness.

Back at the hotel, Yunran carefully put away the Nine Yang Grass. She was really exhausted from the day's events and immediately fell asleep.

The next day, just as dawn broke, I was woken up by a frantic phone call—it was Yun Jingyang calling.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm, but Yunran still sensed a hint of unease: "Ranran, are you in Japan right now?"

When Yun Ran left South China, she did not inform the Yun family of her whereabouts.

Now that Yun Jingyang knows she's in Japan, it's probably because she took photos of Yun Qing that exposed her, but she's not panicking at all.

Ever since the Yun family learned that she was working for the Xie family, they have almost always granted her requests and have never interfered with her affairs.

Judging from Yun Jingyang's obvious nervousness just now, after a moment of contemplation, she guessed that Yun Qing must have run into trouble and asked the Yun family for help.

"Has something happened to Yun Qing?"

Yun Jingyang wasn't surprised that Yun Ran guessed what had happened so quickly; otherwise, he wouldn't have called Yun Ran.

"Yun Qing tried to outwit the tiger, and now he's been hurt. But the Hosono family is keeping an eye on me..."

Yunran understood; this meant she should devise a plan from the shadows.

Internal strife within the Yun family is one thing, but when outsiders bully the Yun family, both Yun Jingyang and she lose face.

Yun Qing is probably having a really tough time right now. I wonder what this self-proclaimed clever second young lady is thinking. Does she really believe that enemies can become friends because of mutual benefit?

The feud between the Yun family and the Hosono family over their overseas companies can be described as a fierce battle, escalating to the point of life-or-death struggles. "Alright, leave this to me."

After hanging up the phone, Yunran calculated Yunqing's birth chart and found that he was indeed facing a major calamity, but there was no danger to his life, and he would live to be eighty-eight.

[Host, wouldn't you say this is a case of being too clever for one's own good? That Yun Qing is treacherous and cunning. I haven't forgotten that it was she who instigated the Si family.]

Now that they're in trouble, they finally know to ask for help. I don't know where they got the guts to cooperate with someone who wanted to kill Yun Jingyang. This is a scourge that will live on for a thousand years!

"She probably felt that her talents were not being recognized, so she wanted to make a splash. She probably forgot that the world is full of geniuses."

Knowing that Yun Qing was not in any danger, Yun Ran was no longer flustered. She slowly got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and then prepared to go find someone.

As for the blind Taoist priest, she was more than capable of protecting herself, not to mention that she had left two paper dolls behind to guard the area.

As they walked through the small ecological garden, the intelligent little animals all stared at Yunran with curiosity.

[This woman smells so good, has she prepared something delicious for us?]

But she looks so fierce. She didn't even buy us vegetable packs last time. I don't like such a stingy woman.

However, if she's willing to give me some good food today, I might reluctantly wiggle my hips a little.

[Wait, why did she walk so far away? Wasn't she supposed to be feeding us?]

I knew it! She's a stingy, wicked woman!

……

Although Yunran had put the Nine Yang Grass away safely, she inevitably picked up its scent after coming into contact with it.

These newly awakened animals have incredibly sensitive noses; they can actually smell such scents.

Unfortunately, she's a stingy person. She wouldn't even waste the Nine Yang Grass herself, so how could she possibly give it to these little fools?

Halfway there, a kind-looking old monk blocked Yun Ran's path. However, as soon as he got close, the aura emanating from Yun Ran made him very uncomfortable.

It is said that people are drawn to each other at first sight. The old monk felt an inexplicable dislike for Yun Ran, and he took two steps back without making a sound, his smile fading slightly.

He planned to take Yun Ran as his apprentice, but only to obtain Yun Ran's magic for controlling paper dolls; whether he liked her or not was unimportant.

A kind smile returned to the old monk's face: "Young lady, I see you have extraordinary potential..."

Yun Ran looked the old monk up and down, and when she heard his words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Does this person not use the internet? This is an old joke from so many years ago. Nowadays, professional scammers keep up with the times.

"No money!"

As she spoke, Yun Ran turned away, preparing to continue walking forward.

The old monk was not a patient person to begin with, but he was thinking that, after all, this was his little disciple.

He was just a somewhat capable apprentice, so I tried to reason with him first, but he turned out to be completely unyielding. Well, I can't blame him then.

The only option was to arrest them and bring them back for severe torture.

If all else fails, he'll extract the soul; he refuses to believe he can't get the spell he's set his sights on.
