Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

Chu Renmei's words were chilling and terrifying.

Lin Xuan didn't care about this.

"Your talent lies in illusions, not curses!"

Lin Xuan did not sense any aura of curse on himself.

Chu Renmei's words were nothing more than her final lament before death, a display of impotent rage.

With a single incantation, Chu Renmei's figure appeared inside the room.

"what!!!"

A piercing scream rang out, filled with utter despair.

Chu Renmei tried to escape at first, but she was severely injured and her ghostly aura was almost gone. How could she possibly escape?

A sword comes out!

The century-old peach wood sword emitted a shimmering blue-green light.

puff!

The sword's edge pierced through Chu Renmei's head, and the ghostly aura dissipated!

[Ding! Top-tier vengeful ghost defeated. Reward: 5000 Merit Points.]

5000 merit points is another pleasant surprise; it's worth about half the price of a Ghost King.

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he looked at the system panel and his total merit points.

[Host: Lin Xuan.]

[Age: 21. 】

[Cultivation Level: Earth Master, Second Heaven]

……

[Merit Points: 45500]

4.5 merit points, another wave of sudden wealth.

However, when Lin Xuan checked the system shop, he realized that 4.5 was not enough for the next item he wanted.

"Alright, let's save it for now! We'll tackle the second task tomorrow! That should be about right."

Lin Xuan stopped thinking about it and rested happily.

……

the next day.

Lin Xuan ate breakfast with Zhong Fabai, Afeng, and Xiaobai.

After spending a day together, Ah Feng and her son were no longer so reserved with Zhong Fabai and Lin Xuan.

Ah Feng's symptoms of unstable three souls gradually improved after drinking the medicine brewed by Zhong Fabai.

"I'm not going to turn off Xiaobai's Yin-Yang Eyes yet!"

After the meal, Zhong Fabai approached Lin Xuan and said, "I checked Xiaobai's aptitude yesterday, and he is indeed capable of cultivation. I'm planning to take him on as my second disciple and teach him the Maoshan Qi Refining Technique. What do you think?"

Lin Xuan had mentioned this matter to Zhong Fabai before. At first, Zhong Fabai was indifferent, but now he has taken it to heart.

It's unclear whether it was because Lin Xuan's disciple was too strong, making him feel awkward and wanting to take on a younger disciple to train slowly, or because his relationship with Xiao Bai had become very good in just one day yesterday.

In short, Lin Xuan naturally agreed when Zhong Fabai wanted to take Xiaobai as his disciple; he was about to have a junior brother.

Taking on apprentices requires more than just their willingness; it also requires the willingness of Ah Feng and Xiao Bai.

Zhong Fabai decided to work on Ah Feng first.

Ah Feng was naturally willing to do so, and the next step was to discuss some details.

Lin Xuan didn't want to get involved in these things and prepared to do the second task to accumulate enough merit points first.

At that moment, Uncle Ying arrived.

"Junior brother, Lin Xuan, this is the house you rented. It's so much bigger than my dojo!"

When Uncle Ying arrived, he was quite surprised to see such a mixed-up general store.

"Haha, how about it? Not bad, right? The rent is 1 yuan a month!"

Zhong Fabai said with a smile.

At this point, he no longer cared about the rent.

Uncle Ying was also happy for his junior apprentice. The two shops were not far apart, and it was naturally a good thing that the apprentices could meet often.

Next, Ah Feng and her son were introduced to Uncle Ying, who then explained his purpose for visiting.

"Lin Xuan, an old friend of mine asked me yesterday to help him with a case involving zombies smuggling drugs. I feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and I would like to ask you for your help!"

"Walking zombies transporting poison?"

Upon hearing these four words, Lin Xuan immediately thought of the Nine Chrysanthemums School!

“That’s right!” Uncle Ying nodded. “The other party’s method is not like the orthodox way. They use ice talisman techniques to control the zombies. Their methods are very sophisticated.”

“I suspect there’s a mole from the other side in GGT, so I didn’t ask GGT for help and came to you, my junior brother.”

Uncle Ying said earnestly, "Nephew, you are a geomancer, so you can resolve this matter the fastest. Moreover, if it really involves an undercover agent in GGT, your words are much more credible than those of a senior employee like me."

"Senior Uncle, you flatter me. If I'm not mistaken, your strength is only a step away from that of a Geomancer!" Lin Xuan said.

He could see that Uncle Ying's body was full of spiritual energy, and there was a faint charm to it, which was obviously a sign that he was about to break through to the level of a geomancer.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this. That Maoshan Qi Cultivation Technique has benefited me a lot. After I switched to it, although my cultivation level dropped, my spiritual energy became purer. I took some pills and quickly recovered."

"Now I am a true master of human skills, and I only need one more opportunity to break through to the level of earth master!"

At this point, Uncle Ying's expression became somewhat excited.

In order to break through to the Earth Master level as soon as possible, he spent all the money he had earned over the years on buying medicinal herbs and refining them into pills to restore his cultivation.

Now, he only needs one more opportunity to break through!

"As expected of my senior uncle, but you'd better work harder. My master is also planning to break through to the Earth Master realm recently. Be careful not to be overtaken by my master and break through ahead of you!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.

He gave his master, Zhong Fabai, twenty ninth-grade spirit stones, and Zhong Fabai's cultivation level was restored yesterday. He is currently attempting to break through to the eighth level of the Human Master realm.

"Your master?" Uncle Ying shook his head, thinking Lin Xuan was joking.

Zhong Fabai has cultivated back to the seventh level of the Human Master realm, but he is still a long way from the ninth level. How can he break through so easily?

Lin Xuan didn't explain, and returned to the case of the walking corpses transporting drugs.

"Uncle-Master, I've agreed to investigate the case of the walking corpses transporting drugs. Let's work together to investigate and resolve this matter as quickly as possible."

If he's right, the case of the zombies transporting drugs involves the Nine Chrysanthemums faction.

Just yesterday, Lin Xuan was thinking of meeting up with the other party, and now the opportunity has come.

As for Uncle Ying's concern about whether there were any spies from the other side in GGT, Lin Xuan didn't care.

Even if they did, their cultivation level would definitely not be high, at most the eighth level of the Human Master realm.

If someone were at the ninth level of the Human Master realm, they would probably be thinking about how to break through to the Earth Master realm at this point, and wouldn't be in the mood to infiltrate GGT as an undercover agent.

As for geomancers, that's even more impossible.

How many geotechnical engineers are there on Hong Kong Island!

Most of the techniques practiced in Japan are unorthodox methods, which allow for rapid progress but are more difficult to break through.

We finally have a top-notch geomancer, how could we possibly let him go undercover?

There's absolutely nothing to worry about inside the GGT.

Uncle Ying was very happy to see that Lin Xuan had agreed.

“Okay, then let’s go to the police station in Central, New Territories together. I have a friend there who is the police chief, and he is currently in charge of this matter.”

Uncle Ying was about to break through and didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the police chief in charge of it was his friend.

Since the other party had already begged him, Uncle Ying felt bad about ignoring them.

Moreover, Uncle Ying had a feeling that this matter was related to his opportunity to break through to the level of a geomancer.

If things go smoothly, his breakthrough to the Earth Master level will likely be very easy.

There's no real reason behind it; it's just some kind of premonition.

But for cultivators like them, sometimes this kind of intuition is extremely accurate!

"New Territories, okay, I'll get ready and prepare some talismans."

Uncle Ying was unaware, but Lin Xuan understood that his opponent this time was the Kyuju faction from Japan.

He can outwardly underestimate him, but he cannot let his guard down psychologically.

"By the way, tell your master that we're going to the New Territories on a mission, or rather, to investigate a case. We probably won't be back for two or three days," Uncle Ying said.

"Understood." Lin Xuan nodded.

Next, Lin Xuan prepared his things, said goodbye to Zhong Fabai, Afeng, and Xiaobai, and then used his pager to notify Jin Maiji and Meng Chao, telling them not to come along.
